It's July.

Springs, where Ronald currently lives, is also approaching the hottest time of the year. However, thanks to its higher latitudes, summers here are not as hot as in Ronald's hometown.

And in the middle of this time.

Ronald's life has also changed drastically from before.

The speed at which information spreads on the occult side is quite fast.

On the day he returned to Springs, the news spread from the city about Ronald's great achievements on the overseas islands, and all kinds of negotiation activities and interpersonal interactions were almost not idle on Ronald.

Even the Investigation Bureau, which had been quite high-minded, removed the monitoring personnel who were originally in charge of Ronald the next day, and instead sent a young and beautiful young investigator to his side, and worked under him in the name of an official assistant.

For such actions of the Bureau of Investigation......

Ronald honestly doesn't have a good solution.

Probably because the relationship between him and Heloise was too close, the Bureau of Investigation directly identified itself as a person who liked women, so it made this specific measure to his liking.

But Ronald knows his own details.

Although "The Hammer of Rain and Mist" is powerful beyond common sense, as long as it doesn't rain, it is almost non-existent.

The real strength is not equal, and the treatment that is being received now will become a hidden danger sooner or later.

Activities in Springs afterwards.

Ronald will have to be more cautious than before to avoid the troubles that will ensue.

By the way, the [Nine Rings Secret Society], which has been disappearing for a long time, has recently moved again. They have now been designated as a terrorist organization by the Springs side and are directly responsible for the cause of the typhoon.

In other words, it was a struggle by a spell caster trying to change the world pattern. The existence that was 'sent' back to the distorted space by Ronald that day is likely to be the god that the old mysterious side made up of as mentioned in the record.

It can only be said that by chance, Ronald once again sabotaged the plan of the [Nine Rings Secret Society].

Today, the contradictions between the two parties are absolutely irreconcilable.

Thinking about these things, Ronald turned his head to look at the sky in boredom.

After the typhoon ended, the city returned to its original state.

What does this incident look like for the average person who is not in the know?

“……”

"Ronald, do you want to go to Sir Phelps' invitation?"

At half-past four in the afternoon, Heloise walked into the office with a greeting, placed an invitation with gold trim in front of Ronald, and spread out the pages with smooth movements.

"This invitation is an expression that this knight wants to get acquainted with the young man in Springs City, so I hope you can also attend this banquet held by him."

"Help me push it off." Ronald immediately shook his head in refusal.

"I've had enough social socializing lately, so let me rest and rest."

Ronald said this from the bottom of his heart.

For a person like him who doesn't like crowds and doesn't like to socialize with people, this kind of social activity that constantly appears in front of him will only bring torture except for the short-term beauty of eating.

Without even participating, Ronald could have guessed what the scene would be.

Anyone who knows something about the mysterious side will immediately flock to him and flatter him, and others who don't know the situation on the mysterious side will also speculate on the situation by themselves when they look at this posture, and then put on a fake smile to make a familiar face here.

A banquet that could have been very ordinary.

Soon it will become an event with Ronald as the protagonist under this change.

That's exactly the last thing he wants.

In the past few banquet dances, he felt distraught when he hid in the corner.

So to be the protagonist every day......

Is that still there?

The trouble caused by showing too strong strength is sometimes a real headache, but it is not easy to deal with.

Now in the midst of the whole Springs.

Aside from the fact that his personal acquaintance has become a friend-level countess, Ronald doesn't want to accept some messy social invitations at all.

It's really not in line with his character.

And at this moment, listen to the conversation between Ronald and Heloise.

Always smiling, the teenage investigator sitting in a corner of the office spoke:

"Mr. Ronald, this Sir Phelps is one of the representatives of the new aristocracy of the Springs, and he has quite good financial resources and strength. If you have a lot of time, I recommend having a basic contact with him, at least not the first time. ”

The person who opened her mouth was naturally the girl sent by the Investigation Bureau.

- Elaine Crawford

As an investigator who can be entrusted with important tasks by the Investigation Bureau.

Elaine did not come up to seduce Ronald in a very vulgar way, but did her job like a real assistant, advising Ronald only on some key issues.

Speak and act in a relaxed and measured manner, and will not listen to secrets excessively and be content with their duties. With such a cautious and appropriate work assistant, even Heloise had a hard time finding fault with her, and had to passively accept the investigator's presence at present.

Another kind reminder to Elaine right now.

Ronald heard what the other party meant, so he had to put on a helpless expression:

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go to this banquet. ”

In fact, the advice of the young girl investigator was very effective.

And it also captures the issues that Ronald is more concerned about.

Springs is a city where various forces converge and competing interests are extremely complex.

Around Ronald, a powerful spell caster who suddenly appeared in Springs, the old aristocratic forces and the new aristocratic forces are all fighting openly and secretly, and all kinds of troublesome things that they have worked hard to do will bump into them without thinking about it.

In the midst of such a storm of contention.

Ronald's original intention was to be a wall-riding faction.

On the one hand, he now has a rich life, and he doesn't have to work hard for something that doesn't mean much.

And on the other hand......

Neither the new aristocracy with abundant financial resources nor the old aristocracy with entrenched power was the object for which Ronald wanted to work.

However, just some time ago, Ronald happened to receive an invitation from an old nobleman to attend a banquet they organized.

Elaine's suggestion also hinted that Ronald was an opportunity.

The man of the new aristocracy came out to invite him, so Ronald was invited to the banquet, so he could naturally express his opinion at the banquet, so as to better maintain his neutral attitude.

In this way, this banquet is naturally difficult to shirk.
