Chapter 1001: The Last of Departures
Plop β
On the sea in the early morning.
A dark figure suddenly sprang out from beneath the surface of the sea.
Then he landed steadily outside Capone Harbor, on the way to the steamships.
"Who is it?"
"Is it a monster in the sea?"
"Stay safe!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't worry, it's your own people!"
The scene of the sea beast attacking the city has just ended, and the people of Grede, who are about to return to the ship, are naturally in a commotion in the face of this situation.
But soon, a calm male voice on the boat stopped everyone's panic.
"This is Mr. Ronald back, take a closer look!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Mr. Ronald?"
"It's true, it's really Mr. Ronald!"
Then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, Ronald shook off the water droplets on his clothes, and then showed an apologetic smile to the casters around him, as well as the great detective Swift who had just cleared the siege:
"Guys, I'm sorry."
"I didn't say hello in advance, which is really easy to misunderstand."
"And, thank you, Swift."
While Ronald opened his mouth to respond, the detective also looked at the man in front of him seriously.
It didn't take long for Swift to see a lot of details from this old friend who somehow came out of the water, and then the expression on his face was greatly relieved:
"Ronald, it seems that you really solved this matter?"
"You can't say that." Ronald replied to Sweft with a well-known smile, "If it weren't for you to provide me with the news in time, the problem Capone faced would probably not have been solved today." β
"So if you really want to talk about the development of the whole thing, the real hero is still you Swift."
The detective hurriedly replied humbly:
"Aren't we detectives just to solve all kinds of problems for all kinds of people? And this incident also shows my personal inadequacy, and I can't solve this matter myself without your help. β
The two finished greeting.
Swift stepped forward and pulled Ronald towards the bow of the boat.
During this time, they whispered in voices that only each other could hear:
"By the way, Ronald, would you mind giving me more details?"
"I'm no better on the shore than you were in the first place, so maybe I'm wrong about something?"
Hearing Swift's inquiry, Ronald couldn't help but appreciate the detective's attitude.
Although Swift has revealed the true nature of the matter with his powerful investigative ability beyond ordinary people. But even so, he did not feel complacent because of this, and remained rigorous in his own derivation.
Even after the dust has settled, he continues to seek the truth of the incident.
For such a big detective, Ronald naturally nodded immediately:
"Of course that's fine."
"In fact, the origin of all events, exactly the same as the results of your previous investigation, is a few mystical schools in Capone City......"
ββ¦β¦β
Ronald patiently explained to Sweaford what he had seen.
And after finally figuring out the whole picture of the matter and confirming that there was no more crisis on Capone's side, Swift finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, I'll be able to rest assured."
Immediately afterwards, the great detective asked again:
"In that caseβRonald, you've adjusted those sea beasts, what will happen to them after that?"
Hearing this, Ronald's eyes deepened.
He turned his head to look at the rippling sea on his side due to the heavy rain, and then answered to Swift with considerable emotion:
"My words, in fact, only defused the crisis of their attack on the city, and more aspects did not interfere at all."
"Although these sea creatures have evolved such characteristics by the changes of human spellcasters, they are in such a new era, and they have indeed developed all kinds of new characteristics."
Speaking of which, Ronald couldn't help but continue to say his speculation:
"I'm afraid that in the future, it won't be long before more magical creatures will be born beyond people's imagination, whether it is the deep sea, the ground, or the sky, all of which are such a new scene."
Ronald's words are simple, but they are precise expressions of his thoughts and speculations about the future.
After listening to all of this, Swift, who is already good at analyzing and deriving information, naturally became as complicated as Ronald.
ββ¦β¦β
At this moment, Swift seemed to see that the dawn of a colorful world was coming. It is still unclear what kind of impact this variety will have on people's lives.
Thinking of this, the great detective couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly:
"It's really bad news for our industry."
"If you don't spend enough time to understand these emerging things, and when the time comes, in a new world, and judge things according to the ideas of the past, it is easy to smash your own sign as a detective."
Plop β
The two of them fell to the ground, and the sea water on the side of the boat was suddenly knocked away from below.
Then Il's figure jumped onto the board of the ship and landed in front of Ronald with precision.
Ronald looked up -
It was discovered that this guy was still holding Kostat in his arms.
After Capone's problem was resolved, the two guys were able to keep up with the team returning to the steamship in this way.
Just didn't wait for Ronald to greet the two guys.
Then, in the direction of Capone City, bursts of strong magical fluctuations erupted again. And Ronald immediately felt that there was a magic in it that belonged to his old acquaintance - the great witch Teresa!
What's going on?
Ronald is certain that he spent the night working to ensure that the hidden danger of the sea beast is completely solved.
How can this be just a turn of effort, and the city will fight again!
Just as Ronald was full of question marks, Kostadt got out of Il's arms and explained to Ronald:
"Sir, after the problem of the sea beast attack was resolved, there was a conflict between the spellcasters who stayed in the harbor to defend it." After saying this, Costadt seemed to feel that he was not detailed enough, so he added, "Due to the problems in the previous defense and the related distribution of interests, they can't unify each other's views." β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing such an ending, Ronald couldn't even open his mouth to evaluate anything.
He looked back at Capone in the early morning, and his face was filled with regret for the turn of events, and helplessness at the choice of the people.
Costadt stared at the silent Ronald.
After waiting for a few seconds, the maid continued to ask in a low voice:
"Sir, are we going to do anything more?"
Ronald gave a wry smile to the maid in front of him, and then shook his head:
"No, not this time."
"Problems between people are dealt with by themselves, so why should we meddle at this moment......
