"Heloise, do you know the maid in my house?"

Bidding farewell to Arya and continuing back to Springs, Ronald remembers the scene when he first met Heloise, so he asked.

And Heroise smiled very directly:

"Don't ask, you'll die."

"This is advice from my dear old boss."

"It's because the maid in your family who can't see the details is very dangerous, that's why I saw you that night, and I invited you to join the convoy so simply."

“……”

Ronald raised an eyebrow:

"So you just don't know anything?"

Heloise replied directly:

"Anyway, it's your maid, and it's impossible to harm you."

“……”

Not necessarily......

Thinking back to the scene he encountered that night at White Bank Castle, Ronald has no doubt that there are many people in this world who can identify themselves, or at least see some clues.

If Adler's maid was on the list......

So the day the two actually met, the picture was absolutely beautiful, right?

The two chatted and continued on their way, and the eastern walls of Springs also appeared in the darkness.

The current Springs is a special period, and all the rules for entering the city are different from usual, and they are considered to have entered a semi-lockdown state.

It's normal to go in and out of the city during the day, but not late at night.

In addition to those who were allowed to enter the city, some non-Springs residents who were going to enter the city had to wait in line outside the city first, subject to very strict checks and cross-examinations.

As a result, there were many people who were ready to spend the night directly near the city gate, and most of them were merchants, and some even took this opportunity to start doing some business with others.

Noticing the situation here, Ronald couldn't help but say to Heloise:

"Nessos, look at the merchants here, business is good."

Heroise smiled tacitly:

"If I had the goods I had on me, I would have earned you a week's wages tonight, and it would be a shame not to have a carriage with me."

Ronald also smiled:

"It's okay, let's come together next time."

"You can make a lot of money by keeping it!"

Getting closer to the city gates, Ronald still remembers in his mind the time he met Heloise.

When we met in the woods at night, the cargo in this guy's car actually contained a few bags of crops that were not ripe at that time. Calculate the weight of the carriage, and even hide some metal weapons on the cart.

From any point of view, it's not a good choice to go together.

However, due to the nervousness at the beginning of the crossing, after leaving Adler's house, his spirit suddenly relaxed, and finally he was outrageously on Heloise's convoy, and it was not until Montenegro that the follow-up happened.

I really have to think about it.

All the stories I have experienced start from the woods on that rainy night.

Suddenly, Ronald's return to Springs stopped:

"Wait......"

"Heloise, I'll take a look at that booklet just now."

"Okay." Heloise immediately handed over the manual, and she also heard the other party's emotions from Ronald's tone, "Did you find something?" ”

Ronald nodded and replied, "I remembered something I cared about." ”

Looking through the manual, Ronald did not pay attention to Lumir's description of the effect of the spell, but focused on the wood consumed by the other party as experimental materials.

Sweep it down at a glance, and the results are obvious.

With the exception of some very rare and rare wood materials, the age of the wood is basically birch.

Obtain the same wood in large quantities.

Either Lumir had a steady source of timber or she was cutting down birch trees in a convenient location for research.

Acts can be deliberately faked.

Puppet doubles can also be sent out to fight.

But the wood that is really consumed can't be faked.

If you want to find out Lumir's whereabouts as soon as possible, starting with birch wood is definitely the most direct and accurate way to investigate.

Even if you think about it, Ronald has actually seen some birch forests outside of the Springs. On the night when he pursued the [Nine Rings Secret Society] outside the city, he had seen this kind of tree in the air.

"Heloise, do you know anything about the timber merchants in the city?"

There was no need for Ronald to explain in detail, and the girl instantly understood Ronald's thoughts. With a look in her eyes, Heloise blurted out information about the Springs' timber merchants:

"The merchants who sold timber in Springs were a monopoly by three joint ventures. They were made up of the Oak family, a new aristocratic group, and the Huiye Lumber Chamber. ”

"Ronald, if you want to get information, it's more convenient to inquire from the Chamber of Commerce, Ginkgo biloba has business dealings with them."

“……”

A companion who makes you feel grounded.

As Heloise named the main lumber merchant in Springs, the first thought that came to Ronald's mind was this.

To have people like this around to help.

It was much more important to him than to have a companion who was strong in force.

But that's not enough.

Ronald has seen many times when things go wrong because of slow movement or laziness. In order to avoid this kind of problem in this matter, but also to be as thoughtful as possible.

Ronald thought about it, but still untied the puppet behind him and handed it to Helois: "Heloise, you take this puppet back first, and then contact Ginkgo biloba." ”

Heloise heard the meaning of Ronald's words: "I'm going back alone with the puppets? What about you? ”

Hearing the inquiry, a smile appeared on Ronald's face.

He checked the spells he had used to strengthen his body, and then easily performed a few stretching movements.

"Tonight, I want to work another shift."

Heloise blinked.

Ronald did not hide the magic fluctuations in his body, so Heloise naturally noticed the active spells on his body. He looked at Ronald with a serious face, and then at the dark sky in the distant suburbs.

Finally, Heloise said with a wry smile:

"Okay...... Then remember to come back early, I'll prepare your breakfast. ”

"Then please."

Nodding to Heloise, Ronald finished his light warm-up.

It's a bit close to those camps, and it's not suitable for Ronald to take off directly. So turning in the direction of the suburbs, he bent his knees, and the whole person rushed out like an arrow from the string.

"Twenty meters? Thirty meters? ”

"That's too ...... Forget it, don't look at it. ”

Heloise stood still, watching Ronald's speed.

But after just two glances, she turned away with a subtle expression.

It's too fast.

Ronald's current physical abilities ......

Even if Heloise could master the original texts of her own school, she probably wouldn't have much advantage.
