"Since you know Lord Helbeth, tell me earlier!"

After Ronald said the name 'Helbeth' and explained that he and the other party had gone on an expedition together.

It's like the mermaid in the Nameless Sea.

The mermaid, who was suppressed by Ronald at this moment, was swept away with the hostility that was originally on her face.

She didn't even care about being pressed under Ronald at all, but directly grabbed Ronald's hand excitedly, as if some precious treasure appeared in front of her.

“……”

"Let's ...... Let's get up and talk first. ”

Ronald took the initiative to pull the mermaid on the ground.

For Helbeth, who met on the island, Ronald already had a specific image in his mind.

Although there may be a suspicion of taking advantage of others.

But dealing with these mermaids, it is really more appropriate to have a bit of identity.

Otherwise, take the mermaid in front of you as an example.

The attitude of the other party just now was clearly the reaction of the explorer who investigated the primitive tribe after being tied up by the cannibals.

It is still too difficult to communicate smoothly under such a premise.

“……”

"Alas, it scared the hell out of me just now."

"I thought I was going to finish this expedition!"

At this time, the mermaid who got up again was also sighing.

The other party obviously knew that his appearance was special, so he immediately returned to his disguised human form. It's just that she didn't continue to use her male appearance just now, but maintained her beautiful face as a mermaid.

"Huh?" Ronald noticed an important point.

In the past and now, when a mermaid disguises himself as a human, the human perception effect of his Divine Comedy spell works without any problems.

But when the other party turns back into a mermaid, this kind of exploration will disappear again.

This illustrates a problem.

The mermaid's spell to disguise her identity, or it is the ability of physical transformation, directly turning herself into a human for a short time; Otherwise, it's some kind of spell with a high priority, and it can even confuse the judgment of the original canonal spell!

"Hello, let's get acquainted again."

While Ronald was pondering, the mermaid had already sorted out her posture and began to introduce herself:

"My name is Lilu, an explorer on an expedition!"

Ronald also learned to introduce himself:

"Ronald, an ordinary human?"

Mermaid Lilu is completely unconvinced by Ronald's self-introduction:

"Don't be kidding, how can ordinary people be so powerful as you, and even go on adventures with Lord Helbeth!"

Mermaids are very positive and enthusiastic about the objects they identify with.

So after waving her hand in disbelief, Lilu cut straight to the topic that Ronald cared about:

"Ronald, you must have some special purpose for stopping such a big movement, right?"

"Tell me, maybe I can help you too."

Ronald is now preparing to rearrange the spell and chase down the pirates who have almost no way to escape.

But the mermaid accosted him, and Ronald still took his attention out of his way to explain his purpose:

"That's right, I entered a sealed world before, and I met wizards from the past......"

Ronald methodically informed Lilu of his situation.

During this period, his re-encirclement of the pirates was also quite smooth, and it was estimated that in half an hour at most, he would be able to force these fleeing guys back again.

It's just that at the same time, small episodes are happening here.

Seeing that the dust had settled in the square, Heloin and Patricia naturally approached.

However, the mermaid Lilu has no affection for the two girls at all.

Even if he doesn't express his emotions openly, Ronald uses his perception to know that when Lilu looks at other humans, he looks at other humans like ordinary people watching monkeys in a park.

Ronald didn't have much to do about such a situation.

Or if he hadn't happened to meet Helbeth, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to communicate well with the mermaid Lilu at this time.

There is no way to simply eliminate the barriers between different species.

……

At the same time, Lilu, who listened to Ronald's message, has also begun to take the initiative to help.

This mermaid said very straightly:

"Ronald, according to you, what the man named Caterina left behind must not be simple."

"In my harvest...... Oh! It seems that there really is one. ”

As she spoke, Lilu untied her expedition backpack.

She then reached out and tugged back and forth inside, eventually pulling out a cylinder that glowed blue.

"What is this?" Heloin didn't recognize what the mermaid had brought out.

"This, here's the map!" Patricia directly recognized the item that Lilu took out because of the experience, and immediately looked at Ronald, "Ronald, this is the kind of map you gave to Your Highness!" ”

“……”

Ronald took what Lilu had handed him.

Holding it in his hand, he naturally recognized that this was a map of the current world, exactly the same as the one that Caterina had given him.

If it weren't for the difference in wear and tear between the two items.

Even if Ronald directly treats this as the original map, it is not impossible!

Ronald began to think:

Maps...... Why did Caterina leave a map on Barrier Mountain? This must have been left for me? ”

The importance of maps is undeniable.

But from a practical point of view, there was no need for Caterina to give herself an extra one.

Unless she goes through psychohistory, she is sure that she will lose ......

Wait a minute! Lost map!

Ronald instantly realized a possibility.

Some time ago, in order to make the fleet sail smoothly on the Sunken Ocean, Ronald did give his share of the map to Claudia, the leader of the fleet.

And it was the [Greed] fleet with this map, after entering the vicinity of the barrier mountain, all the people on it disappeared.

In other words –

This map may be the key to revealing the secret.

The reason why Caterina left this thing in the Barrier Mountain was only to predict that Ronald didn't have a map in his hand at this time, so she made one more!

Ronald hurriedly began to check the map in hand.

But no matter what means it used, it didn't show anything out of the ordinary.

It's like a simple map, where Ronald's guess is silently mocked.

Ronald didn't give up immediately, but turned his head to look at the mermaid who found the map:

"Lilu, where did you get this?"

Lilu has a very high opinion of Ronald, and replied directly without hesitation:

"I found it in a collection room in the middle of the mountain. I can take you there right now if you want! ”

The mermaids were so positive that Ronald naturally made a decision right away:

"Alright, let's go take a look!"
