Now Caterina wears an apron in front of her, holding two plates firmly with one hand.

He asked Ronald briefly.

Caterina sat down across from Ronald and placed two plates right in front of them.

Caterina prepares the same type of food for the two of them.

It's a noodle dish with an omelette and a red sauce.

Ronald could even tell that the amount of food in front of Caterina was smaller than the amount of food in front of him.

"Thank you."

Nodding his head to the red-haired girl in front of him, Ronald carefully set the manuscript aside before replying:

"I do have some interest in the content above."

"Especially those things that are about productivity."

Hearing Ronald's answer, Caterina raised her eyebrows with a somewhat subtle expression.

She took a bite of her own omelette before she said in a serious tone:

"It's worthy that at this time, you can find someone from the barrier mountain."

"At a glance, I can see what the central issue of my research is."

Ronald nodded.

Then he bent down and tasted the lunch that Caterina had given him.

Unexpected.

Whether it's the omelet or this seemingly simple pasta, Caterina makes it so delicious that it's hard to imagine that it was made by a wizard buried deep in the study of spells.

Feel the smell carefully.

Ronald weighed the weight of the inquiry and the manuscript in front of him.

So, very simply, Ronald continued:

"I see that there are still thoughts on productivity in the manuscript, can you tell me about it?"

"Oh~~"

Hearing Ronald's inquiry, Caterina put down the dishes and leaned back.

I saw the girl clasp her hands on her chest and cross her legs, and then asked in a mocking voice: "Drake, since you know the significance of my research, you must be able to guess its weight." ”

"You want me to continue to explain to you, what are you going to pay?"

“……”

Ronald replied in a serious tone:

"What I hope is not a one-sided explanation, but I think we can exchange views with each other, and maybe we can both gain something."

"Tsk-"

Caterina didn't look satisfied with Ronald's answer.

She smacked her lips, then picked up her plate and stood up.

"Come on, let's go up and have a look."

Without waiting for Ronald to respond, Caterina left the living room and walked directly to the spiral staircase in the tower.

See Caterina in action.

Ronald thought for a moment, then picked up his plate and followed.

Caterina kept walking, but she didn't forget to enjoy the food on her plate.

Wait until this lunch is almost over.

She also led Ronald behind her to the top of the Astronomy Magic Tower.

There is no such thing as an imaginary offensive circle.

In addition to the astronomical instrument that was constantly rotating and moving overhead, there were only a few tables and chairs and a pot of tea.

Caterina casually walked over to a chair and sat down, then beckoned to Ronald:

"Come, sit down and talk."

“……”

Ronald answered the call and sat down across from Katarina.

Then the wizard pointed to the sky and asked:

"Drake, look at this sky, do you feel anything?"

Ronald was a little alarmed, so he replied tentatively:

"It's just an ordinary sky......"

"No, it's not normal." Caterina decisively repudiated Ronald. But there was no anxiety in the girl's tone, nor any other negative emotions. She just said in a calm tone, as normal conversation:

"You know, this sky is fake."

"Go up, beyond the gas layer and you'll find the Dark Void; Although he hasn't dug down yet, the Black Mist Void will inevitably be waiting below. In such a finite world, it is only a matter of time before resources run out. ”

“……”

After listening to this paragraph.

Ronald felt a little arrogant and reflected on it.

Before entering the Infinite Negative Realm, Ronald had envisioned the situation of the people in the seal, and had clearly defined it as a 'group of spellcasters intent on revenge'.

But in reality?

As long as you pick a dozen random people, you can meet all kinds of people with different personalities, not to mention the world of the [Infinite Negative Number Field].

The complexity of human beings is never something that can be summed up simply.

While Ronald was reflecting on himself, Caterina continued to speak:

"Drake, I'm not sure what the outside world is like right now. But according to the records in the academy, it is actually a world where wizards occupy the absolute upper echelons of society. ”

How far has Caterina been thinking?

Hearing this, Ronald couldn't help but ask:

"When you say the outside world, you are metaphorizing it ......"

"yes, that's what I meant." Katerina's tone was still as calm as before, but the ideas contained in it were absolutely extraordinary, "Whether it is our seal or the outside, it is essentially a finite world of different sizes. ”

"In any case, you need to face the reality of limited resources and land."

"I want to keep moving forward into the future...... Either you have to open up a path to other worlds, or you can only look up. ”

Ronald went on to ask:

"Which of these two roads are you more optimistic about?"

Caterina poured a glass of water for the two of them, drank it herself in one gulp, and then explained:

"Although it was not their original intention, the way to other worlds has been verified by the people of the Summoning Section. Due to the differences between different worlds, it is basically a dead end for humans to travel to other worlds. ”

"So...... There is only one right way. ”

At this point, Caterina put down her teacup and pointed to the sky.

Ronald exclaimed from the bottom of his heart:

"That's a ...... It's in line with the opinion of the person in charge of the astronomy department. ”

Suddenly, Caterina smiled.

And this time, the smile didn't have the same sense of banter as before.

"...... from yesterday until now"

"Drake, this is the first time you've flattered me from the bottom of your heart."

Ronald was alarmed.

Mind reading?

Caterina's judgment was too accurate, but Ronald didn't feel any magic probing him.

The wizard in front of you used a spell similar to a [lie detector]?

Or is there something special about it?

In a magical world like the Infinite Negative Realm, Ronald could only face the situation as cautiously as possible.

That's when it happened.

Caterina got up and walked over and patted Ronald on the shoulder.

"I'm ready for you to join the astronomy department, you can get it on the seventh floor."

After saying that, Caterina bent down again and put her mouth to Ronald's ear.

Invited in a playful tone:

"I'm going to give those lovely wizard apprentices a lesson right now."

"If you're interested, you can come and have a look~~"
