According to the condition in memory.

Ronald took Nicole and Costadt to the cultist warlock base that he knew.

However, a month passed.

The house, which looked unchanged from the outside, was empty, and the vigilant cult warlock had long since changed places, let alone stayed in one place for a long time.

"Kostadt, can your spells still be traced in this situation?"

Ronald turned his head to look at the maid, but the other party could only shake his head regretfully at the moment:

"I'm sorry, sir."

"They were gone for too long, and there were too many people to do it, and I couldn't keep track of them in this situation."

“……”

Even Kostat couldn't do anything about it this time.

Hearing this, Nicole immediately turned her head to look at Ronald on the side:

"Ronald, do you know anything else about this group of cult warlocks' stronghold in Falls City?"

"I really know a place." Ronald nodded in acknowledgement.

But when he answered, the expression on his face already told everyone that this was not good news:

"However, that place is just southeast of Waterfalls."

"Southeast ......"

Nicole instantly realized the location of the base in Ronald's mouth.

"The base you're talking about happens to be in the ruined city?"

Ronald nodded and replied, "That's right, I'm going to go and see it, right?" ”

“……”

Nicole thought for a few seconds, and finally chose this place:

"Let's try it first, we have too few clues right now."

A few words determine the next goal.

The three of them then turned around and began to walk in the southeast direction of Waterfall City.

In fact, if Ronald wanted to, he could now go to Entrode's agents to ask for some information, but due to a series of events that happened before, Ronald doesn't want to have anything to do with these guys anymore now.

As for Nicole in the team......

Because of her status as Investigator Grad, it was impossible for her to ask for help from this group of people.

So face the situation at the moment.

The three of them can only give up going through official channels and use their own abilities to achieve their goals.

As the night darkens—

Ronald and the three of them, who were considered absolute powerhouses on the mysterious side, walked towards the southeast of Waterfall City on such a night.

At the same time, as time went on, the secret services of Entrod were also in action.

After all, the three Ronald are quite special in terms of ability and identity.

If they go out together during the day, it would be fine, but at night, these staff who are nominally guarding Waterfall and Entrod will never let such a thing go.

So, when the Ronald trio arrived at the ruins of the city southeast of Falls City.

A very interesting scene also appeared on the streets.

Ronald and the others, of course, walked towards the city as usual, and behind them, and on the left and right, across the street, or a few houses, they could always see men in overcoats and felt hats walking back and forth, and the position always followed them.

This feeling is like Ronald is a big man visiting a small service, surrounded by guards who are secretly guarding the security.

And what's even more interesting.

Ronald is looking for the answer they are looking for at the moment, and it is very likely that these Entrod agents who are surrounding them will know the truth.

But due to the limitations of various aspects in reality.

They have no choice but to abandon the immediate answers, and instead have to search for the truth themselves.

“……”

For the situation at the moment, Ronald felt a little crying and laughing.

So when he took his two companions to search the ruins, he couldn't help but joke about Nicole:

"Nicole, if this were to happen on the Brenwich side, would the Bureau of Investigation send so many people around it?"

Hearing Ronald's inquiry, the investigator girl's eyes flickered around.

Although she couldn't see anyone in sight, Nicole knew that she and Ronald were surrounded by agents of Entrod at the moment.

So Nicole laughed too:

"The Bureau of Investigation has never sent so many people at one time. Unless it's a particularly dangerous thing, or a vicious event that endangers the whole city, this will never happen! ”

Answering Ronald's question, Nicole even felt that it was not enough.

She also specially raised her finger and added:

"Usually there are some big people, and we just send one or two squads to ensure basic safety. After all, even if a strong enough spellcaster wants to cause trouble in the territory of Glade, he must first consider what kind of great man's rule he is in. ”

“……”

Nicole's words were right-made.

But Ronald has a different view of such an explanation.

As he reflected on what had happened to him in the cities of Brunwich and Springs, he couldn't help but muttered in a strange tone:

"On Grad's side, I don't think there's a lot going on."

"That's your special situation, okay!"

Nicole is surprisingly sensitive in this regard, and Ronald complained about it, and the investigator girl was a little fried.

"Ordinary people... Wrong! The average practitioner lives in Grad, and even if a year or two passes, he won't encounter any trouble or extreme conditions. Ronald, the reason why you don't feel good is only because the people and situations you come into contact with are quite special! ”

"Think about it—cult warlocks, high-ranking members of the church, and the [Nine Rings Secret Society], a secret organization with an ancient heritage. Which is something that the average spell caster will touch? ”

"And...... And ......"

At this point, Nicole's tone suddenly paused.

The girl's face suddenly became a little tangled, and she stood in place and hesitated for a few seconds before she pointed at herself:

"And we investigators."

"Although I don't want to admit it, normal spellcasters also treat us as plague gods."

"For example, when you requisitioned spellcasters to help the people, Ronald, you are one of the few and few people in Brenwich!"

“……”

Ronald couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect Nicole to care so much about this.

However, I have to admit that what the investigator girl said did have some truth, so he also smiled bitterly and nodded:

"Well, I do have to blame for that."

"But if I could, I wouldn't really want to be in contact with people like that. Who doesn't want a peaceful and stable life? ”

Speaking of this, Ronald couldn't help but think of what he saw and heard at the beginning of the crossing.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the first mysterious person he encountered when he came to this world was Heloise, a high-ranking agent of Entrod.

If you really want to analyze it from the interpersonal aspect.

Then he himself really went down the wrong path from the beginning!
