Ronald's spell is working.

The fog of hell gradually filled the interior of the walled mountain, chasing after the pirates within.

As the only beings who are not affected by the fog of hell, the three Ronald trios, led by the mermaid Lilu, left safely through the passage on the right side of the square, and then went straight up.

It's not a long way to go.

In addition to navigating the intricate inner passages of the Walled Mountains, Ronald and his wife occasionally encounter hapless pirates who have been driven into desperation by the fog of hell.

It's just a pity that Ronald and they didn't find a valuable presence in these pirates.

So they simply cooked it, and they continued their journey through the mountain.

A quarter of an hour passed -

After a journey that wasn't too dangerous, Lelu led the three of Ronald to a collection room on Walled Mountain.

Ronald had just come here, and without asking too much, he was sure that the mermaid who led the way had not deceived himself in the previous conversation.

Because it was right at the door of the collection room, Ronald saw the nameplate on it.

- [Warehouse 147].

——[Affiliation: Astronomy Tower].

“……”

"Ronald, that's where I found your stuff."

At this time, the mermaid Lilu took the initiative to push the door and walked into the warehouse, and then actively explained to Ronald:

"In this location, there was originally a box with a lot of miscellaneous things in it. And on the top of all the items is the blue stick in your hand... Map. ”

While explaining, Lilu also gestured with her hand to get a general picture of the situation.

The reason she would do it is simple.

As a relatively accessible warehouse, the items here have long been swept away by greedy pirates.

And in such an empty room, if she wants to restore the situation as much as possible, Lilu only needs to add some body movements to herself.

"Lilu, thank you."

Whispering thanks to the mermaid beside him, Ronald began his own investigation.

However, the result is a bit of a pity -

Although Ronald inspected the warehouse with great care, he found nothing, as if nothing special existed here.

In desperation, Ronald had no choice but to re-turn his gaze to the mermaid on the side:

"Lilu, was this map the only thing that was special in these warehouses before?"

Lilu shook her head dryly:

"Unfortunately, I was the first to arrive at this warehouse. I likewise checked the room before the other pirates arrived. As for the end result – the map you are talking about, it's really the only thing worth looking into here. ”

After telling the somewhat depressing news, Lilu took two steps to Ronald's side:

"Ronald, I really want to help you."

"But that's what it is."

“……”

So...... That's all for the investigation here?

Of course not!

Although the current situation is a bit overwhelming, it is far from being bad enough to give up.

Ronald was quick to analyze.

First of all, there is a 90% probability that this map is something that Caterina left for herself.

And with the character of that astronomical tower master, since they have been reminded to this point, there is no reason to add other unnecessary troubles to themselves.

So, an idea quickly came to Ronald's mind.

He was well aware that mermaids were a rather special species. Especially when looking at human beings, that natural contempt can always lead to many unintended results

This map is the only one in the warehouse that is worth it - that's probably just the mermaid's opinion of Lilu.

And the pirates who entered this warehouse after Lelu and looted it were also likely to recognize some kind of value, so they took away the other important tips that Costadt had left for himself!

With the cause and effect in mind, Ronald immediately made a decision:

"Let's go, let's go back to the square before."

"By this time, the pirates who escaped should have been re-intercepted!"

……

Naturally, no one in the team objected to Ronald's decision.

So it took a little time, and Ronald and his party returned to the previous square.

The situation here is indeed as Ronald said. The pirates who had fled in all directions were now driven back to the square by the black fog of hell that Ronald had invoked.

It's just compared to the ruthless appearance of waiting for the battle before.

After experiencing Ronald's display of strength, and the pitiful situation of their subsequent escape and helplessness to be driven back to their original positions, this group of pirates has basically stayed where they are at this moment.

These guys have a vicious personality though.

But the pirate profession itself also tells them how to increase their chances of survival when facing a strong man who can't resist.

So when Ronald and his party reappeared in the square through the passage shrouded in black fog.

These pirates, who stayed in the square and endured the flood caused by the mermaids, tacitly got out of the way at the first time

Some of them were more agile, and even brought in enough hard stones or clods of earth from the side and placed them in order on the puddle in front of the three Ronald to prevent them from stepping on the dirty mud.

As for the reaction of the pirates, Ronald's side has different opinions.

Lilu's expression was very satisfied: "This is a bit presentable. ”

There was a hint of sneer at the corner of Heloyin's mouth: "It's not too slow to react now." ”

Patricia frowned: "Seeing the wind and rudder, no wonder it's a group of pirates." ”

“……”

Of the four, Ronald was the only one who didn't speak.

It's not that he doesn't have ideas in his heart.

Just listening to the speech of the girl next to him with completely different tendencies, he felt that if he expressed his feelings at the moment, agreeing with one would inevitably provoke the other two, so it was better not to bother!

In this way, Ronald stepped on the path paved by the pirates and returned to the center of the square.

This group of pirates is also knowledgeable.

The 'Pirate Kings', who dared to rebel against Ronald half an hour ago, are standing here honestly at this moment, waiting for Ronald's arrival.

As for the guy who had previously successfully countered Ronald's spell - he was especially unlucky.

Because this guy was the only 'pirate king' on the scene who really did something to Ronald, he was the only one who was rudely tied up with a rope, and then pressed down in front of the center of the square and knelt down to Ronald.

"My lord, this kid made his own decision just now!"

Seeing Ronald approaching, one of the 'Pirate Kings' took the initiative to step forward, with a courteous and flattering smile on his face:

"When we saw your mighty form, we were ready to surrender to you."

"It's just that this guy ran away immediately after he finished his move, and we had to leave here in order to arrest him back for you to dispose of!"
