"Dear Mr. Ronald, given that you are ......"

Sitting on the couch in the hotel, Ronald opened the envelope and took out a badge and a piece of stationery, and then read the contents of the page in a soothing voice.

The meaning of these words is fairly simple.

The first half granted Ronald access to some of the classified information in the Consulate for a month and a half.

The second half is about the expedition, telling Ronald to go to an inn in Waterfall in a week's time and have a private meeting with the expedition.

That's it.

Ronald's request was met.

And this kind of work efficiency even made Ronald feel surprised, so much so that he turned his head to look at Kostadt:

"Kostadt, it seems like last night when we left the Consulate, right?"

The maid replied calmly:

"Sir, you are not mistaken."

“……”

Ronald scratched his hair with a subtle expression.

Probably due to Entrode's current form.

In short, Lalaye was very productive this time, far from the state he was in when he first arrived at Waterfall a few weeks ago.

"That's just right." Ronald soon stopped dwelling on efficiency, put down the letter, got up and looked out the window, "Costadt, go and get the inn to prepare an afternoon meal." I also happen to have free time now, so I'll go to the Consulate to read after dinner. ”

"Sir, I'll go and tell you."

Kostat heard the order and immediately left, and Ronald took out the badge in front of the well-lit window.

- This is the identification of his common use in the Ruling Court.

On a round, bright metal substrate, the characteristic winter wood of the Entro side is carved into a bird, wrapped in clear glass and inlaid on it.

Ronald rarely saw a badge of this design.

After playing with it for a while, he heard footsteps outside before he put it back in his pocket.

Then greet your lunch with a smile on your face.

……

After a simple and relaxing lunch.

Ronald still ordered Costadt to stay at the inn, and he went to the Consulate on the waterfall alone.

Lalleye authorized only Ronald.

This entry into the Consulate was naturally Ronald's own action.

In the afternoon, the pedestrians on the streets of Waterfall were a little better than in the morning, and at least they could meet a lot of men who were busy with work.

It was only before he walked onto the waterfall suspension bridge that Ronald clearly saw that the surroundings were in a state of strict control. Not to mention those idlers who drink and chat, even the children who play by themselves can't see a single one.

"What is this...... Nearing one’s end? ”

Ronald stepped forward with a low sigh of emotion, and with the help of the badge in his hand, he went deep into the building again without any trouble.

In the process of searching for the library, Ronald also took a look at it in passing.

Pitch-black burns, messy earth and stones, and badly damaged structures......

The entrance to the basement that just exploded last night, along with the damaged dormitory above, still looks completely untreated. It's hard to believe that this is the core authority of a country.

Ronald wanted to continue to sigh with emotion.

But thinking of this, after all, he also has his own 'dedication', he still didn't say anything, shook his head and continued to walk to the back of the ruling court.

The library is actually an unused office.

When the only guard saw Ronald's figure, he immediately spoke:

"You're Mr. Ronald, aren't you?"

"Raleye informed me about your return, please let me verify the badge."

Ronald nodded and handed over the badge, and the entire verification process didn't even take more than five seconds.

Only when the badge is returned to Ronald.

The guard specifically reminded:

"Mr. Ronald, the Consulate is not responsible for the food and drink of the general visitor, and it also does not accept takeout."

"If you're planning to eat, remember to get home on time."

Ronald said he understood:

"Thanks for the reminder."

Click-

After the communication, the guard took the initiative to open the door for Ronald and closed it after Ronald walked in.

Ronald walked in, looked around and his expression immediately changed.

"This ...... It's really frugal enough. ”

To be honest, this place doesn't look like a place for important books at all.

A table, three sofas, a standing cabinet, in addition to the facilities that are quite suitable for the office function of the room, the other walls are the shelves for books, and they only fill less than a third of the place.

If it weren't for the fact that most of these books are old, they would be old books with a lot of history.

It's really possible that Ronald thought he was in the wrong place!

“……”

With a subtle expression, Ronald stepped forward and took down two books casually.

He doesn't expect any classification in this arrangement, so let's take a look for what he needs here.

"Edinland's Winter Hunt", "The King's Duty", ......"

Little by little, flipping through the books.

The expression on Ronald's face gradually softened.

Like the ancient history of the books here, the content recorded in it is very characteristic of Entrod, and even most of it is a collection of unpublished manuscripts.

If the person standing here right now is a professor who specializes in history, or a related profession.

Then this stock of books is a surprising blessing.

“……”

"Only the most valuable books have been transferred here......"

Understanding what Entrod was doing, Ronald gradually entered the state of reading.

In fact, this should also be a choice in extraordinary times.

The large library left by the former royal family also exists in Falls City, and it is only due to various reasons that the most valuable books have been transferred to the rear of the Consulate alone.

As soon as Ronald entered the state of reading, he threw himself into it.

Even though the time had unconsciously reached late at night, Ronald still sat quietly on the sofa and read, relying on his excellent physical fitness.

It was in this environment that Ronald flipped through a manuscript of a travelogue, and at the same time found the record of Beyond Light.

"Chronicles of the North of Nrtifa -

[On March 7, I crossed the barrier of ice and snow and came to Lingguang Mountain, which is the mouth of the northern immigrants. 】

[Surprisingly, in the far north, snow and ice are not the masters of everything, and a gentle land that is enough to feed the town exists. 】

[It's just a pity that no one has set foot here, and some strange air also gives me a bit of a headache, so I chose to start again two days later and go further north to see what ...... there]

The text is seen here.

The word 'Lingguang' finally comes up again.

But Ronald was not happy about this, because through this manuscript narrative, he finally realized the problem that he had been ignoring all along!

So much so that the expression on Ronald's face was a little uneasy:

"It should ...... It's not as serious as I thought, is it? ”
