Chapter 987: A Special Request
"Ronald? You're back? β
On the ground, the Great Witch was facing Ronald with a somewhat surprised expression.
Compared with the people in the two directions, Ronald naturally chose the side of the [Twelve Witches], which had a better relationship with him, not to mention that Teresa, an old acquaintance, was here to lead the spellcasters to defend the docks.
After saying hello, watching Ronald descend from the sky, the Great Witch continued:
"Shouldn't a canon holder like you stay at sea to protect the safety of your ship?"
"Your Highness, is you willing to come here to support us?"
"If the target of these sea beasts is three steamships, I promise I won't have much chance of coming ashore to help." While responding to the Great Witch, Ronald also landed on the ground with Costadt.
His gaze swept over the crowd defending him.
Although Ronald knew very few people, he could also see that in addition to the casters of the [Twelve Witches], there were also members of other schools who were also here, and the estimated number was estimated to be twenty or thirty.
In this way, the people of the [Dawn Spell Society] are counted.
The actual number of casters willing to protect the city in this time of danger has exceeded half a hundred.
With plenty of time to escape, there are still so many people standing on the front line of the port ready to fight, which is definitely quite a high level of consciousness!
Ronald observes the crowd around him at the same time.
The witch Mera, who was originally following behind the great witch Teresa, stepped forward with a curious expression:
"Mr. Ronald, the spell that summoned thunder that appeared on the sea just now should have been jointly cast by someone on Grede's fleet, right? We're scared by this kind of extravagance, and many of us are looking for an opportunity to learn how to combine spellcasting on this scale. β
When Mera spoke, she made no secret of her shock and eagerness.
Whether it is the gaze, the tone of voice, or the movements, it shows that she wants to know more about and learn this ability.
"Uh, that'......"
Facing the witch who had relieved him, Ronald scratched his hair a little embarrassed, and finally stretched out his hand to himself:
"The thunder just now wasn't actually a joint spell, I made it myself."
"Although it looks like a bluffing scene, except for those sea beasts swimming in the shallow waters, I have no problem with the enemies hiding in the deeper waters."
ββ¦β¦β
The crowd immediately fell into complete silence.
Ronald's modest statement may not have a problem fooling ordinary people.
But everyone present is a spell caster who has been on the mysterious side for many years, how can they be deceived by such a statement.
So......
The terrifying spell just now was actually cast by the man in front of him alone?
No one will forget the horror that just appeared before their eyes.
The power of the thunder in the sky seemed to be able to destroy everything, which made this group of spellcasters feel how terrifying this spell was.
And a strong man with such strength is standing in front of him, and almost no one can maintain a normal heart at this time.
Especially Mera, who was standing in front of Ronald.
This witch, who is already quite a power-worshipping witch, suddenly had a lot of thoughts in her heart:
"Mr. Ronald...... I ......"
"Mera, you'll talk about it later." Just as Mera was about to express her thoughts, the Great Witch suddenly stopped her.
Although Mera was strong, she was very well-behaved in the face of Teresa, and immediately closed her mouth and stepped back.
Then the Great Witch turned her head and continued to Ronald with a serious expression:
"Ronald, although this kind of thing is a bit bad to say at such a time, I still have a request, I hope you can hear it."
"Pleaseβ" Ronald nodded slightly.
The Great Witch continued:
"I hope that when the sea beasts attack the city next, you don't immediately join the fight."
"Huh?"
Teresa's opening was a request that Ronald did not expect.
The Great Witch also seemed to know the astonishment of her words, so she immediately explained in detail:
"Just now I repelled the first wave of attacks of sea beasts with thunder, and this feat was seen by the whole city."
"Although we local spellcasters don't have as powerful spells as Ronald and you, if the matter of protecting Capone is completely left to Glade's guests to deal with - this kind of behavior really shows that we hosts don't know how to be hospitable."
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of Teresa's explanation, Ronald fell silent.
He could hear the hidden meaning of the other person's words.
People like Ronald are outsiders after all, and if they completely steal the task of these local spellcasters in the event of defending Capone.
After that, the practitioners of these local schools will not only have their reputations damaged, but they will also face a lot of trouble.
And putting forward such an idea, Teresa did take a risky step.
If they, the local spellcasters, could completely defeat these attacking sea beasts, then naturally everything would not be a problem.
If the task of protecting the port goes wrong......
At that time, not only will they be in danger as the casters, but even the city behind them, and the school to which they belong, will probably face very big problems in their activities in this country.
What a gamble!
Faced with the Great Witch's request, Ronald pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded in agreement.
But in addition to this, he added very seriously:
"If things really get to the point of no return, I will definitely take action immediately."
Teresa heard the bottom line in Ronald's tone.
In response to Ronald's expression of wanting to protect the city, the great witch bent down slightly and made a gesture of respect:
"If I really die here."
"When that time comes, I hope Ronald can save the lives of the city as much as possible."
After saying this as if in the last words, the Great Witch ended the conversation with Ronald.
Then the canon holder took a step forward.
With his eyes in the air, he looked at the person from the [Dawn Spell Society] on the other side, and then began to continue to give orders:
"Everyone, everything continues to be prepared according to the arrangement when you came!"
"The personnel who went to investigate the situation under the surface of the sea have set off, and what we need to do is to improve the defense of the dock and prepare for the battle with this group of abominable monsters in the future!"
"Don't let down the efforts of your brave companions!"
Order.
The casters near the dock were all active.
Although these people come from different schools, they learn and use different spells.
But Ronald could still see that they were standing in a special place according to a special formation, and began to build a large magic circle that would firmly protect the coastal area behind them!
