Chapter 977: Leisurely Holiday

The third day of the arrival of the Greid's fleet in the port of Capone.

The casters' repair work on the three steamships was almost over. This last day is basically to test the normal operation of various parts of the ship, as well as the supply of daily necessities before the final departure.

It is precisely because of this situation.

The deck can be said to be a very good environment on weekdays, but it has become noisy because of the flow of people walking back and forth, and you can often hear the sound of people shouting and communicating work while standing here.

Ronald, however, didn't mind such interruptions at all.

He moved a chaise longue alone and lay down on the aft deck of the ship reading the book in his hand. At the same time, I felt the sea breeze blowing on the side, and my life was very comfortable for a while.

This is the last day of the three-day dock at the port, and Ronald intends to spend it as such.

Even the rest of the voyage remained in this state.

There is no other reason -

The process of lying down and reading a book and absorbing knowledge is really enjoyable.

And I have to mention that the caretaker of the underground library, Taylorwen, does have a hand in the selection of books.

The thick stack of books he handed Ronald not only contained some valuable information on the study of spells in the Dark Ages, but also included some useful customs logs along the coast, taking into account the next voyage route of Grede's fleet.

It's the best gift of an ideal for any caster preparing for a long voyage.

In this way, Ronald was alone in his enjoyment, reading the book in his hand.

The age of magic mentioned in the book, that is, the dark age of common knowledge today, when the casters were really powerful, and many spell studies have been amazingly developed.

For example, Ronald has this book "Frontier Observations on the Development of Future Spells".

The content of it has already touched on the nature of magic, even to the point of information interfering with the real world.

Ronald read carefully and only read the first few chapters, and he also felt that he had benefited a lot.

It's just a pity.

Like the archmage Olmont who died hundreds of years ago.

The author of this book and his school also come from the vanished island city of [Lachemont], so even if Ronald wants to communicate with the other party's successor, I am afraid it can only be delusional.

Now the only thing Ronald can do.

The only way to do this is to read the books in front of you carefully, write down the knowledge that your predecessors have worked hard to study, and pass it on one day in the future.

“……”

"Ah, rest, rest first."

It's noon.

Ronald took a long breath of relief and closed the book, then got up from the recliner.

Standing on the back deck of the steamship with a satisfied expression, he turned his head to look at Capone.

Kostat and Il take their advice and now experience their lives in the city, both of which they hope will allow them to learn more about and integrate into human society.

On their own side, the three of them have their own practical and effective things to do.

That's a nice feeling......

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

Just as Ronald stretched his waist and sighed, a loud explosion suddenly erupted in Capone City in the distance.

But in the face of these noises, Ronald's expression was calm.

Because it was different from the previous emergencies he encountered.

Capone's explosion was not a sign that the city was in crisis, but rather that the fireworks they were celebrating were exploding in the air.

At the same time, due to the existence of spells, the fireworks technology in this world is not the same as the fireworks in Ronald's hometown. They have more brilliant colors and more variety, and at the same time, they can get great light and shadow effects even during the day.

Seeing this performance happening on the shore, Ronald couldn't help but applaud:

"That's good."

"But in this case, they are also eating......

Ronald happened to know why Capone would light the fireworks at this time.

The reason is simple, Claudia, the first princess of Glade, is a guest at the city's executive residence.

As Greed's fleet was to leave Capone tomorrow, the officials of the city invited Claudia and the others to a banquet and a performance at noon and evening, respectively, to entertain and see them off, and to show their kindness to Greed.

At this time, fireworks are one of the scheduled parts of the show.

In fact, according to the original plan, Ronald, a powerful holder of the original canon, was also officially invited by Capone.

It's just that Ronald considered that he promised Taylorwin to stay on the ship and read books last night, so he excused himself on the pretext of being unwell.

After some development, Ronald had a leisurely life of reading books on the aft deck with the sea breeze blowing.

This is actually exactly what Ronald wants.

He was originally a person who didn't like to be lively, and compared to the tedious socializing and socializing in the banquet, this kind of quiet reading alone is more suitable for his own enjoyment.

Ten minutes passed.

Ronald stood on the deck and watched the whole fireworks display.

It wasn't until the lively atmosphere in the distance had subsided that he walked himself to the open-air dining room at the front of the deck, ready for his lunch.

……

Huhuhuhu-

The weather is unpredictable, not to mention that this is a port city close to the sea.

Ronald set off from the rear deck, and the weather was still good on the front foot. But as he sat down in his seat in the dining room and waited for his lunch, a strong wind blew near the shore.

At the same time, the sky quickly darkened.

Dark clouds spread from the west in the direction of Capone, and a torrential downpour was about to fall on the coastal city.

In the face of such changes.

The attendant on the steamer reacted very quickly, and immediately someone came to Ronald and asked in a serious tone:

"Sir, do you need to change to an indoor dining room?"

Ronald smiled and waved his hand:

"It's okay, just send the food here."

"I have a spell to protect against the wind and rain, and this kind of weather can't affect me."

"And it's a rare opportunity, and I'd like to try what it's like to have lunch in a storm."

The waiter also knew that the three steam cruise ships were full of powerful people.

So when Ronald spoke, he didn't dissuade him anymore, but turned around and returned to the restaurant to continue working.

After about five minutes, a prepared seafood meal was placed in front of Ronald.

Whoa—

Soon a torrential downpour poured down from the sky, and the air poured rain down like the wrath of the gods.

And on deck.

Ronald was surrounded by an invisible force that separated a fairly clean space.

- This is the power of "The Hammer of Rain and Mist".

Although the ability to summon thunder and lightning is not needed now, it allows Ronald to sit here in peace and enjoy his rare lunch in the rain.

It's also quite flavorful.
