"Teacher, don't you think it's a little hot today?"

Sitting in the carriage home, Heloise reached out and tugged at Ronald's clothes, her tone biting the word 'teacher' very hard, and her eyebrows were full of smiles.

So, Ronald got goosebumps very cooperatively:

“……”

"Just the two of us, can't you just call me by my name?"

"He's your apprentice!" This time Heloise even put her face on it, "Isn't the apprentice supposed to call you a teacher, aren't you happy?" ”

“……”

"Let's discuss the work of the Chamber of Commerce."

Ronald wisely chose to change the subject.

In fact, from the moment she chose to act as she is, Heloise's personality has completely detached herself from the identities she played before. This girl, who was born in a spy organization, usually likes to be close to Ronald, and always makes verbal face-jumps.

It's a lot of work to deal with, though.

But actually, Ronald didn't hate such a Heloise.

After all, when it comes to what really matters, this guy still knows how to deal with it.

Like now.

But after Ronald opened his mouth to discuss the work.

The teasing and smiling on Heloise's face disappeared in an instant, and she turned to serious thinking about Ronald's next work.

"The White Star District is a special area of Springs. In addition to direct contact with the crowded and complex port area, there is also a specially planned diplomatic post at the junction of the two areas. ”

"Ronald, if the Chamber of Commerce is there to do an event, there will be social and troublesome encounters, including the need for etiquette......"

What Heloise said was the commission of Ronald from the Ginkgo Biloba Business Alliance. In fact, to be more specific, this matter is a follow-up mission to contact the countess.

As an important person who came to Grad from abroad.

Although I rented a place in the organ area, there was a dance party every few days. But at the same time, as a diplomat, Countess Leticia still has her own exclusive residence in the diplomatic realm, and usually spends more time there working.

It was with this in mind that the Chamber of Commerce asked Ronald, who is currently on good terms with the countess, to change his place of work to the White Star District.

And speaking of this particular division.

In addition to what Heloise just said, this urban area of Springs has its own unique situation.

It is not the same as a business district or a riverside area.

At present, there are many buildings in the White Star District that use the latest technology, and the new aristocracy and some enterprises have set up their residences or private residences there, and there are also various functional outbuildings.

Actually, to be more specific, the White Star District is the city within a city in the Springs, like a kangaroo hiding in its mother's pocket.

To be active in the urban area with a special background in this context.

Some of the corresponding preparations are really more appropriate in advance.

Ronald remembered the city he had rarely set foot in, and Heloise, who was also sitting in the carriage, immediately made a suggestion:

"Ronald, I'll start after I go back today, and I'll make up for you these few nights, right? For some of the new aristocrats, some etiquette seems to be quite important, what do you think? ”

Heloise's suggestion made sense, and Ronald naturally nodded in agreement;

"No problem, then I'll leave it to you for the next few days."

“……”

Of course, the two who belong to the same group of action will not waste time.

After returning to eat, starting from the first step of the left foot when entering the door, and the angle of the neck should not be lower than 60 degrees when eating, to the movement of nodding slightly to the left, and the speech should not be mixed with colloquialisms such as "um" and "uh".

Heloise knew everything about the new aristocrats when they were socializing, and taught Ronald carefully.

————

Early the next morning, Ronald and the two went their separate ways.

Ronald went to the monastery to read books as usual, and Heloise, who didn't want to stay at home by herself, went to the White Star District to familiarize herself with the situation, and also helped Ronald make some preliminary preparations by the way.

Alone to the church district.

Ronald still reads books in the library.

Heloise had made it clear that the Church's detective technique was quite powerful.

Although she herself was confident in the anti-reconnaissance technology, she still set the rules of the church district for at least one month from the day the spy agency in Springs was removed.

This is a kind of caution, and it can be regarded as a kind of self-protection.

However, things did not turn out as smoothly as in the previous days.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the monastery welcomed a rare visitor. When the other party came to the gate of the monastery, all the monks here went out to greet them, as if they were facing the leader's inspection.

Hearing the movement outside, Ronald was completely unmoved.

His original intention was to absorb as much knowledge as possible from the Church's collection within a limited amount of time. As for the communication of the clergy in the church, he was not very interested.

So a quarter of an hour later, the visitor to the monastery entered the library.

He sat across from Ronald with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Ronald."

“……”

It was a kind old man with a white beard, wearing a black robe that resembled the uniform of the Church. Ronald could clearly see the golden geometric texture on the other party's clothes, and the reading of church books these days supported Ronald to recognize the other person's identity at a glance.

- Priest of the Church.

This is a special office in the Church that corresponds to the priest of the Holy Throne and has only one in each generation.

In addition to the special status status.

The priest of the church needs to constantly travel around the area under the influence of the church to check the operation of the local church branches and the management and disposal of some special items.

And what made Ronald care more was the back of the priest in front of him.

Behind the old man's black robe, there was a long stick-shaped object wrapped in layers of black cloth. There is no need to even mention what is inside, just this layer of black cloth wrapped around the outside, Ronald can sense a very solidified magic.

Facing the old man sitting in front of him, Ronald nodded politely in response:

"Hello, I'm Ronald."

"Excuse me——?"

"Graeme, Graeme Bradford." The old man seemed to like Ronald's attitude. After Smiling still gently introduced himself, he did not mention his special status.

On the contrary, it is like a very ordinary old man.

The priest slowly removed the object from his back, and little by little untied the black cloth wrapped around it.

Finally, in the unraveled black cloth.

The sword of Santa Caterina appeared in the old man's hand.

Holding the sword body as black as the night sky, the priest of the sect seat did not change his smile and spoke in a calm tone:

"Mr. Ronald, I have some questions for you."
