A strand of red hair lay quietly in front of him.

Although its owner is not here, the scenes from the first encounter are floating in front of you.

Ronald only thought about it for a moment and confirmed one thing.

This bundle of hair should have been left here directly by Caterina when she was talking on the tower.

After all, this is the chair she was in, and the vicinity of the tower is exactly what Ronald remembers, and there is no sign of anyone coming here.

Combined with Caterina's prophetic ability in psychohistory......

I'm afraid that after the [Infinite Negative Number Domain] first discovered his identity, the tower master of the astronomy department was already arranging a huge plan.

Even Ronald would arrive at the abandoned tower at this moment.

It is also part of the other party's plan.

"Prophetic spells, that's a bit exaggerated......"

Thinking about all this, Ronald couldn't help but sigh.

In the normal mystical side system of the outside world, the Foresight spell is an extremely difficult and costly top-level ability. So although the effect is very powerful, it is not something that can be used casually.

However, in the hands of Katerina.

With the special nature of [Psychohistory], she didn't need to pay much to predict the future, and it could even be said that it was the same as using ordinary spells.

With such a special advantage, the effect created is also very exaggerated.

It's just that Ronald's associations don't stop there.

In addition to feeling the strength of Katerina's ability, a familiar figure appeared in Ronald's mind - Nicole.

This genius spellcaster who has mastered the rune system also showed Ronald the 'inaccurate prophecy' spell he researched some time ago.

So if Nicole is given enough time to grow.

This little girl, who is now an ace investigator, is afraid that she will also become a special existence that is difficult for even elite spellcasters to chase.

"Ronald, what is this?"

When Ronald was full of emotion in his heart, Heloin also noticed this strand of red hair, and subconsciously stepped forward to pick it up.

"Heloyins, wait!" Ronald hurriedly spoke to stop it.

Since this hair was left by Caterina to herself, it naturally needs to be taken seriously, and it is really dangerous for others to touch it rashly.

So Ronald stepped forward and carefully picked up the hair left by Katarina.

"Hmm......"

The expected impact came from the hair on his hands.

A hidden magic power ran down his hair and reacted to Ronald, and it was still the special magical aura he had seen, the special aura from Caterina's original canon.

After perceiving Ronald's identity, this magic power has no offensive tendencies, and it directly merges into Ronald's body, and finally turns into a brief hint.

"...... within the peak"

Ronald slowly read the words of the prompt, and his gaze turned downward.

The hint that Caterina left for herself was brief, but quite clear, showing the way.

Want to understand what is happening in the Barrier Mountain.

Then head to the belly of the mountain and look for something special.

"Within the peaks?" At this time, Patricia heard Ronald's muttering, and then took the initiative to ask, "The message that your 'friend' left here is for us to go inside?" ”

"That's right." Ronald nodded, and then led the way directly to the mountain.

Contact with Caterina was brief, but he didn't think the astronomy tower master would deceive him.

Or imagine the situation to the worst -

Even if he is really stepping into a trap, Ronald does not think that he is incapable of dealing with the past!

……

Following the abandoned astronomical tower, the Ronald trio descended and finally entered the interior of the ramparts along the cloister on the side of the mountain.

From here, things are very different.

Unlike the abandoned towers of the Astronomy Division, the pirates' main area of activity is in this part of the Wall.

Although many areas, protected by autonomic spells, have not yet been invaded by these pirates.

But the entire interior of the mountain has also been explored by these guys.

The three of Ronald also turned to the platform in the hallway, and after going down two long stairs, they directly ran into a group of pirates gambling in the teaching room.

But their chips weren't gold, they weren't wine.

Rather, it was a scroll that they found from the Barrier Mountain and finally put it in their pockets.

The most vicious pirates are gambling with knowledge as a bargaining chip.

It's a rare sight!

“……”

"Huh? You are under the captain's men? ”

The Ronald trio still entered with swagger and arrogance, and the pirates in the gambling immediately spotted them and ......

And then it was no different from the pirates on the ship.

The eyes of these guys were quickly focused on Patricia and Heloyin, and they could no longer take even a centimeter off their horizons.

"This ...... These two ......"

"Stay where you are!" As soon as Ronald opened his words, this can be regarded as a familiar road

He didn't bother to look at the pirates again.

So after controlling these guys, Ronald stepped forward directly and began to ask:

"Have you ever seen or heard of a red-haired woman appearing here during the time you've been on this mountain?"

"Yes!" "Nope!"

There were different answers among the pirates, and Ronald naturally separated the men.

"Where did you see her, tell me about her."

The pirate who had just replied 'yes' immediately replied:

"On Captain Sawyer's side, there's a very beautiful red-haired woman. It's just that Captain Sawyer's management is very strict, so no other information has been leaked. ”

“……”

"Where's this Captain Sawyer?"

"The captains all have a banquet in the big square in the middle of the mountain."

“……”

Ronald pursed his lips.

With Katerina's identity and strength, Ronald would not believe her in the hands of a pirate leader.

But for now, it's a useful piece of news, so let's try it in this direction first.

Making a decision in mind, Ronald was certainly ready to go.

However, he was still concerned about the safety of his companions in the [Grede] fleet, so he finally asked:

"What do you know about the steel fleet that came here yesterday?"

"Tell me all now!"

The pirates began to answer messily:

"It seems that the people on that ship have mysteriously disappeared!"

"The captain of my side said don't care about the guys on the ship, they won't show up again."

"What is in the mountains is the most valuable."

"Steel ships are indeed rare, but we can learn spells here!"

“……”

Ronald jotted down this information to sort it out a bit.

Then, instead of drawing his sword, he summoned the black mist of hell with a single hand, drowning all the pirates in it.

He didn't look back, and left with Heloin and Patricia.
