It was just after midnight.

There are still about six hours left in the morning.

On the third floor of the apartment in the riverbank district, Patricia and Ronald stepped out of the room and went out into the night street together.

"Ronald, I'll go back and get some things first."

"We'll meet here in three hours, okay?"

"See you or leave you."

Make an appointment for a conversation of three or two sentences.

Ronald and Patricia parted on the street with flat expressions.

However, unlike the plain on the surface, Patricia went home to prepare to bring the treasures hidden in the family and strive to make her combat ability the strongest.

As for Ronald......

Naturally, he will not be idle and wander the streets.

Anyway, [Weiss University] is also located in the riverside area, and he plans to go there to see the situation at this time. If you can convince the big people of the [Book Research Society], then at least it will be much easier to celebrate the dawn.

At times like these.

Find as much help as you can, it's all about the details that have a chance to influence the situation.

“……”

On the streets of the riverside district at night, Ronald walked towards [University of Weiss].

Probably because of the fall of the festival, groups of students can be seen lingering near the newly replaced street lamps from time to time. Because of the special status of the University of Vess established by the Queen, it is actually an important parade venue tomorrow.

These students who are immersed in the festive atmosphere will not talk about it.

If you pay attention, you can see the hidden staff of the Investigation Bureau nearby.

It's the same as Ronald remembers.

The investigators at Springs have always been dedicated.

Then, Ronald saw an investigator emerge from the shadows. The other party just waved his hand and made a code signal to his companion, and then walked directly to Ronald.

"Mr. Ronald, may I ask ...... you?"

You don't have to go into detail when you ask a question.

The investigator merely revealed Ronald's identity in his words, and waited in silence for Ronald to answer.

"I'm going to go to [University of Ves] for a trip."

"There is some news to discuss with friends about today's celebration, and it is not something shady."

“……”

"Then I wish you all the best."

The investigator who came up for questioning looked confident.

Receiving such a simple answer from Ronald's mouth, he returned to his original position.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Ronald couldn't help but guess in his heart.

Is this calmness due to the existence of the [Lie Detector], or is it out of trust in the Institute's prophetic spells?

“……”

In silence, Ronald moved on.

It wasn't the first time he had come to this road, and he walked through the street with ease, and [Vess] appeared in front of Ronald's eyes.

Ronald paused for a few seconds.

If you want to find a suitable adjective in the vocabulary in your memory.

Then - be prepared.

The students who are still in the school are really immersed in the atmosphere of the upcoming festival celebrations. But if it is for a person with amazing insight like Ronald, the current [Vis University] can definitely be called a well-defended tactical fortress.

The foundation of spells planted on the main road, the investigators lurking in the forest upstairs, and even a few special people among the students......

As long as you walk in the [Vis University].

Basically, you can't escape this perfect and solid security system.

"It's worthy of the Investigation Bureau......"

Ronald whispered a sigh of emotion and walked in the direction of the library.

Because investigators had already asked about his situation before, it was all smooth after that.

Arrive at a workplace I haven't seen in a long time.

Ronald could see that the library was not being protected.

— or not at all.

As the headquarters of the [Scroll Research Society], the usual defense force here is strong enough, and there are many powerful spell casters who have been studying here for a long time.

Unless it's a sudden event when the original canon is about to go berserk.

Otherwise, this is definitely an easy fortress to defend and difficult to attack.

Ronald stepped on the stairs of the main gate, and soon found a sign standing up next to the main entrance - "The book collection is important, temporarily closed. During the festival, visits are not allowed. 】

“……”

Ronald turned his head to look in the direction of the moment.

Confirming that no one was paying attention, he jumped sideways and easily jumped to the third floor of the library. The ability of the [Arch Angel] opened the windows inside the building, and Ronald invaded the library so easily.

And then...... Then the defensive spell immediately detected the invasion.

The third floor was where the office was located, and the room on the side was directly opened, and the caster who prepared a spell to defend against the enemy saw Ronald's figure in this way.

"Luo ...... Mr. Ronald? ”

The spellcaster who appeared here was just an ordinary researcher of the [Book Research Society]. Recognizing Ronald's identity, he froze in place. As long as you have the most basic understanding of the strength of both sides, you will understand what the situation is now.

So, the spellcaster put away the spell sensibly.

Then he stammered a little and asked:

"You, you're, how did you end up here?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Oppenheim." Ronald gave a smile of goodwill, "It's about the celebration, it's urgent." ”

Ronald's smile relieved the caster, but then the caster's message was not good:

"Mr. Ronald, Mr. Oppenheim, he is also going to the parade. A few hours earlier, he had already gone to Tianhai Palace. If there's anything you need to know, maybe ......"

Ronald wasn't here for the 'phone call'.

Hearing such a reply, he directly interrupted the other party's formulaic speech:

"What about the lab leaders? Who are they in now? Or where is the highest person in the research group? The thing I'm here for is very important, not ......."

Suddenly, Ronald's voice came to an abrupt halt.

His keen hearing detected someone coming up the stairs on the east side of the library, and the rhythmic footsteps even revealed a sense of familiarity.

Turning around, Ronald quietly watched in the direction of the stairs.

A team of three spellcasters, two women and one man, then emerged from the hallway.

Ronald knew two of them.

Walking in the middle is the first princess of Glade, Claudia A. G. Balke.

Behind her were Miao Li from the Book Research Society and another young man.

Miao Li naturally doesn't need to say much.

And this young man ...... Ronald vaguely remembered that the young man sat in the seat of the Royal Knights at the Queen's seminar, and would appear in the library today, presumably to protect Claudia.

“……”

The two sides looked at each other.

Each other was stunned for a few seconds because of the person in front of them.

Then, as the undisputed leader of the field, Claudia spoke first:

Ronald ...... How did you end up here? ”
