The Book Research Society is nominally a pure research institution.

But just like the movies and games, there are always people who come out of trouble in this kind of research institution.

Of course, this is also something that is bound to happen in this kind of place.

So after Ronald opened his mouth, except for those who left the underground directly and chose to take refuge, the more capable people in the research group were basically all present.

It's a pity that it's still early in the morning.

As a result, the people who really came, including Ronald who did not leave, were only four in total.

That's just at this time.

Because he came from above the ground, Oppenheim, who was the last to arrive, appeared in the passage.

He first spoke to Ronald's side:

"Ronald, what's going on?"

"I've heard that something happened to the lab?"

Ronald nodded with a serious expression:

"That's right, it's Howl's lab."

"You also know my ability, I passed by here when I packed up my things and left, and I happened to find the problem here."

"Thank you." Thanking Ronald seriously, Oppenheim walked up to the people at the door of the research room, "Hughes, what's the situation?" ”

Hearing Oppenheim's inquiry, Hughes, who was originally in charge of the interpretation of the original texts, sighed:

"Ahh

"Hal really didn't hold back, and went to try the original trial himself. And looking at the current situation, he is still practicing his own theories, trying to use the spells of his own school in the trial. ”

"If it continues like this, the results will be unimaginable."

As he described the situation, Theseus kept a worried look on his face.

The members of the [Book Research Society] present were all beings who had been dealing with the original texts for many years, and of course they knew the results that various things could cause.

- Trial of the Original Codex.

is the scene that Ronald experienced when he first got "The Hammer of Rain and Mist".

However, because of his own particularity, Ronald now uses the original canon without a trial at all, so this matter has little to do with him.

Of course, this is not the case for the casters of this world.

Generally speaking.

People open trials and enter them, and if they succeed, they will get a part of their spell casting ability, and if they fail, they will die.

According to the experience of the locals, it is absolutely impossible to use the spells of other schools in this kind of trial, otherwise it will immediately provoke the most violent counterattack of the original text, and it is not impossible to cause the original text to run rampant in a serious degree.

And Hal is the researcher.

The research topic he has always insisted on is to have a way to use the spells of his own school in the original trials.

If this research is completed, it will definitely greatly improve the speed of cracking the original text.

After all, with a lifelong study of spells, this group of spellcasters can definitely cope with the 'trials' that most ordinary people can't handle.

It's just a pity that in terms of results, Hal probably failed.

Normally, when someone tries the original scriptures, at least safety can be guaranteed outside of the trial.

But the mana in the laboratory is extremely unstable......

It is proof that it has provoked an original reaction.

“……”

Hearing Hughes's explanation, Oppenheim's eyes sank.

If he was young, he would have had the courage to go to the original trial, but now this old and weak body, the risk of entering the trial is too great.

At this moment, another researcher in his mid-thirties next to him spoke:

"Mr. Obeng, I'm willing to take the initiative to go in and give it a try."

"If you get lucky......"

Oppenheim said without hesitation:

"If it succeeds, I'll call the shots, as long as you don't leave the research society, this original book will always be yours regardless of the right to use or research."

As soon as the words of the promise of heavy profit came out, the researcher's expression changed instantly:

"Is this really possible?"

Oppenheim nodded earnestly:

"My promise has always been to walk the talk, and you know it."

The researcher nodded with a puzzled expression:

"That'...... Then I'll give it a try! ”

“.....”

Swallowing hard, the researcher turned around and headed out into the lab.

Although not entirely gifted the original canon to him.

But holding on to and having access to an original book for a long time was a temptation he couldn't refuse. So even if he risked his life to go through the trial of the original scriptures, he was willing.

So he tried to make contact with the flow of mana in front of him.

After following the normal steps, the researcher's figure gradually distorted and vanished, and finally disappeared into the research room.

- He has also entered the trial.

Looking at such a scene in front of him, Ronald felt a little subtle in his heart.

He knew the researcher who was about to enter the trial.

This is named Edward, a researcher in charge of data statistics and analysis in the [Book Research Society], and the spells he is good at should be related to the manipulation of objects, and he usually deals with a bunch of data.

But this kind of person who adapts to work is the same......

Can you really pass the trial of the original scriptures?

Edward, of course, knew the preciousness of the original texts, and knew that trials were dangerous.

But if this guy fails.

Then among the people present, Ronald, Oppenheim, Hughes, and Paul were still on the scene.

Oppenheim and Hughes were at the top of the Society, and they were also the ones who held the original texts.

It is basically impossible for the two of them to risk their lives to enter the trial.

As for Ronald and Paul......

Paul is the spellcaster in charge of the security of the [Book Research Society], and he has also worked in the Investigation Bureau before, and the actual work needs will inevitably lead him to leave before the situation really gets out of control, and then seal off the surrounding area to ensure the safety of the ground.

So, isn't Ronald left alone?

I applied for resignation today, and I really want to participate in the original canon trial and pass it, and it is absolutely impossible for the [Book Research Society] to hand over the original canon to myself!

Otherwise......

Find an excuse to run away, right?

With this kind of professional organization, Ronald believes that they will definitely be able to deal with such an emergency in the end, otherwise a city as large as Springs may not be able to survive to this day.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ronald quietly took a step back.

With a polite smile on his face, he spoke:

"Mr. Auburn, I ......"

However, before Ronald could speak, Oppenheim, who was standing at the door of the laboratory, immediately turned around as if he sensed something:

"Ronald, please go and call Mully over."

"If Edwarder fails, it's up to the two of you to deal with the original text."

As soon as his expression froze, Ronald was about to open his mouth to shirk.

Before he could speak, however, Oppenheim replied again:

"Ronald, I know you have some concerns."

"But don't worry."

"Although it is impossible to hand over the original text to you, I promise in the name of the [Book Research Society] that if we really get to that point, we will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"
