Chapter 978: Knight
Ronald's maverick action is naturally quite conspicuous on the deck.
It didn't take long.
One of the spellcasters, returning from Capone to the steamer, noticed Ronald sitting alone in the rain for lunch, and stepped forward to greet him:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ronald."
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess brought a lot of people on the boat to attend the banquet organized by Capone, did you come back early?"
“……”
"Huh?"
Ronald was still enjoying the beautiful lunch to himself, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the storm near the deck.
Suddenly interrupted by this greeting, he was inevitably stunned for a while.
Who is this guy?
Do you know him yourself?
At this moment, Ronald was suddenly greeted by a young man he had never met, and at the same time, judging by the dress and decoration of the other party's clothes, he should also be a Grede.
It's just that when Ronald searched his memories, even after missing out on his life as a part-time worker in Brenwich, he still didn't remember that he knew such a person!
“……”
"Ah, I took the liberty of interrupting me!"
Just when Ronald looked confused and dazed, the young man pulled out the chair under the table quite familiarly, and then sat down opposite Ronald with a big grin:
"I am Morrick Dearlund, a knight of the Guards belonging to the Royal Order."
The young knight introduced himself to Ronald.
At the same time, because of the good protection range of "Hammer of Rain and Mist", Morrick put away his umbrella and leaned against the dining table, and then continued to smile and continue to Ronald:
"People who know me say that I'm a little too enthusiastic, please forgive me-"
"Huh? Yes! I see! Ronald nodded in greeting.
The knight in front of him named Morrick has a very warm attitude when talking to people, but it doesn't make people feel overly embarrassed, and he is obviously a very social guy.
For such people who take the initiative to run forward to communicate.
Ronald was not arrogant enough to turn him away, so he would also respond to the other party's accosting:
"Actually, I'm eating here, and I haven't come back from the banquet."
"It's because I didn't really like banquets by birth, so I spent my last day on the boat."
Morrick's expression suddenly realized:
"I see!"
"But people who like to be quiet, are always intelligent and good at research. With such advantages, it is no wonder that you can achieve such an admirable achievement in the cultivation of spells at this age. ”
Hearing Morrick's compliment, Ronald hurriedly smiled back:
"You've really won a prize. I can have today's strength, but I am standing on the shoulders of giants, without the wisdom and hard research of my predecessors, how can I be like today? ”
"You're still humble." Morrick immediately picked up Ronald's dodging.
“……”
The knight also has a brilliant grasp of social time.
Then the two chatted a few more words, just when Ronald had the idea of 'when will this guy leave' in his mind.
Morrick himself got up from his chair and picked up the umbrella he was leaning against the table.
Then the young knight put the chair he had drawn out back under the table.
After all these things were processed into the appearance of his own coming, he bent down to Ronald to say goodbye:
"Mr. Ronald, please forgive me for taking the plunge."
"But I'm really glad to have met someone like you on this ocean voyage."
Ronald politely replied:
"Me too, it's nice to know you."
Gu Yu watched the two talk goodbye.
Morrick also turned around and was about to leave the deck.
But just as Ronald ended the conversation and was ready to continue enjoying his lunch.
As the young knight passed by Ronald, he whispered in a small voice that only each other could hear:
"Mr. Ronald, there seems to be some undercurrent at Capone's banquet. Based on my observations, it's likely that some people are targeting you, so be careful. ”
“……”
With that, Morrick left the deck without looking back and stepped off the ship.
Ronald watched the other man walk away.
Only then did he find that the young knight was hurrying towards the city again, and the target location was the place where the banquet was held!
In other words-
The reason why Morrick specially returned to the steamship to have such an 'encounter' with Ronald. The root cause of this is to remind Ronald to beware of spellcasters in Capone City.
As for the reason......
Ronald couldn't be clearer!
It must be because of the [Twelve Witches] and the [Dawn Spell Society] again!
Seeing that Grede's fleet was about to leave Capone.
Among them, those who have interests involved will definitely not be able to sit still and want to seize the last opportunity to do something.
“……”
"Did he come back to inform me of this reminder on his own initiative, or did he convey the message at Claudia's behest?"
After all, this Morrick is a member of the Royal Order.
In his capacity, Ronald couldn't help but think of this aspect of things.
Sitting alone in the rain.
As Ronald tasted the food on the table, he began to think about what he should do next.
Finally, when he finished his meal, he called the waiter to clean up the plates on his table.
When this was done, he came alone to the deck of the steamer, and began to gaze at the city in the rain and whispered:
"Its name is Styx,
The black water flowed down to the foot of the dark and precipitous cliff......"
With the end of the spell.
The power of 'rage', which had been enhanced by Ronald's magic from the original text, was revealed in his hands. With the greatly enhanced effect of this spell, Ronald expanded the scope of his ability to detect feelings to the limit.
At this time, the comparison of the area between different cities is also reflected.
If it was in a city like Grede, such as Brenwich or Springs, Ronald would not be able to bring the entire city under his control by himself, even if he tried to eat milk.
But Capone is different.
Although this port city is prosperous, due to the size of the country itself, the area is quite limited, only about three or four urban districts of the Grad metropolis.
Ronald unleashes the Scout spell to the limit.
Although it is not enough to include the entire city in its own monitoring, it is no problem to extend the scope of exploration from the port side to the location of the official residence where the banquet is being held!
“……”
"These guys, the emotions are really excited......"
In the midst of the rain, Ronald quietly watched the flow of people's hearts in the city.
If he really encounters a situation where he has to make a move.
So for self-preservation......
Yesterday's assurances to Mr. Taylorvan may only be slightly broken.
