Chapter 1287: Disguise
"Katarina, let's ...... You shouldn't be in the wrong place, right? ”
Return to human society.
Katerina is in a pretty good mood, and Ronald thinks it's a good thing.
But when the land in the eyes of the two became clearer, and Ronald could see some of the details on the ground, this slightly happy mood immediately changed.
Because with Ronald's excellent eyesight, he has found that there are people moving on the beach, but at the same time, in his magic sense, the number of humans does not match what he sees in his vision.
In short, the people here seem to be mixed with a partially inhuman existence.
This is also a relatively common situation that Ronald has encountered.
“……”
"Ronald, you're saying there's a problem here?"
At the same time, in the face of Ronald's sudden change in tone, Caterina immediately slowed down her flight speed and said:
"When I was using [psychohistory] just now, I only traced how to identify the location, and I didn't calculate the other parts at all."
Caterina explained the results of her previous investigation.
Then she was quite generous, and it could even be said that she took the initiative to reveal her spell flaws to Ronald somewhat incredibly:
"And to be honest, [psychohistory] is an ability that has many limitations in its use, and it is ultimately an ability to extrapolate the future based on existing information, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing."
"It's like I'm sure I'll encounter land and humans here, and get the news—that's because you and I are the base point, and the sea and the sky are the things that they bring in the information, and that's the final calculation."
"If I really want to figure out what's wrong here, I'll have to go in and walk around myself to get accurate results."
Ronald nodded in understanding.
Other doubts arising from this explanation were then asked:
"Katarina, I understand what you're saying."
"But then again—since [Psychohistory] has so many limitations, how did you get the prophecy content related to me and the [Four Directions] when you were in the [Infinite Negative Numbers Realm] before?"
Caterina immediately put a well-deserved smile on her face:
"The information about you and the outside world is naturally inferred from the information that those people of the [Nine Precepts Secret Society] have tried their best to stuff in."
"As for the [Four Directions] ......"
At the mention of this, Caterina couldn't help but laugh:
"At first, I was completely unaware of their invasion, but one day when I was using [Psychohistory] to do an extrapolation exercise, this vision suddenly came out of the lava lake below the barrier mountain."
At this time, Caterina spread her hands, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of helplessness:
"Since they opened the passage through the boundary in such a place, then they can't complain that they found me so easily?"
“……”
"Okay."
Ronald didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
After this strange but ingenious conversation, he and Caterina continued to fly forward, preparing to land on the mainland.
It's also a choice that must be made.
After all, if they want to figure out their location as soon as possible, they must communicate with the people on the island to get information.
Otherwise, you can't turn around and go back and continue to fly around aimlessly on the wide sea, right?
The distance is getting closer, and the picture on land is clearer.
It's a group of working humans, most of whom are handling fishing gear, and there are also children playing with adults.
And those non-humans who can't be detected by Ronald's spell are mixed in at the moment, and even completely integrated into human life. If you don't pay attention to the details of spell detection, it's easy to think they're real humans.
"The east side starts with the second, the sixth, and the ...... with the net"
"None of these points out are human."
Ronald pinpointed the situation below.
When Caterina heard this, she whispered a mantra and added the new information she had just gotten to the conditions and began to calculate [psychohistory].
“……”
High in the sky, Ronald stood silently beside Katerina.
Because they didn't plan to be exposed at the first time, their flight altitude was raised a lot, so while the two of them observed the movements of the people below, these beach workers did not notice the arrival of Ronald and Katarina.
This time, Caterina took a lot longer to calculate than before.
It took a full two minutes for her to regain her computational state of [psychohistory]:
"Ronald, these humans and non-humans know each other's identities, and some of them have a relationship between the summoner and the summoned."
As soon as Caterina said this, Ronald was alerted.
Back in the time of [Entrode], the invading creatures from another world could have left a deep impression on him, not to mention that he had just dealt with the changes in [Sifang Tian].
The current situation on the sea is really reminiscent of that aspect.
Ronald couldn't help but ask:
"Then what is the purpose of their activities here, and what is the purpose of these summoners, or the creatures they summon, to mix in human society?"
"Ronald, don't be nervous."
Compared to Ronald's serious expression, Caterina was much more relaxed.
She comforted Ronald first, and then explained in a calm tone:
"Judging by the results of the spell calculations, these people and non-humans are content with their current lives, they are not too aggressive, and there are no intrigues that will cause us trouble."
“……”
Katerina's answer greatly reduced Ronald's nervousness.
But he didn't completely let his guard down because of this.
After all, the astronomical master himself had said before that the results of psychohistory are conclusions calculated based on available information. Even with a high degree of accuracy, there is still a chance that the calculation will be wrong.
So Ronald proposed:
"In that case, let's go down and test it first."
Caterina has no objection to this:
"Anyway, I'm going down to ask for directions, so it's up to you."
“……”
Considering the impact of the way they appeared, Ronald and Caterina didn't go straight down from the sky with a big grin.
The two of them silently snapped trees from the distant land, then quickly cut out a few planks. After a little disguise, they took the planks to the sea and approached the shore in the form of the victims.
People who work by the sea are inherently aware of the conditions at sea.
It didn't take long for them to spot Ronald and Caterina approaching.
The crowd immediately poured towards the sea.
In addition to someone actively jumping into the sea, there were also various shouts:
"There's someone over there!"
"It seems to be a victim, come and see!"
"Someone has floated over from the sea, go and save someone!"
