"Il ......"

Although there were no other hints around, Ronald recognized the origin of the little tree man at a glance.

After all, Il's soul fragment was kept with him.

I didn't notice it at first glance before, but now I look directly at this little tree man in my eyes, and with the help of this extremely special relationship, Ronald naturally distinguishes Il's product with extraordinary speed and accuracy.

“……”

Yir, who usually needs to be taken care of by himself, has left such a message for himself in this situation.

Immediately landed on the ground, Ronald's mood is actually a little delicate now.

He was both angry at the current situation and surprised by the message that Il had left for him.

Just the emotions of all this.

It all vanished after Ronald reached out and took the little tree man in his hand.

The moment Ronald scooped him up from the ground, the little tree man made a dancing gesture in his hand, before losing its holding power and falling back into a pile of broken branches.

At the same time, Ronald also received the only message that Il's conveyed to himself in this way.

- Not yet dangerous, can enter.

It's not a lot of information, but it's valuable in this case.

Through his 'close' relationship with Eli, Ronald confirmed that the news could be trusted.

Entering the confines of this ruin now seems to be the most straightforward and quickest option.

Ronald didn't, however.

Confirming that his companions were not in danger for the time being, he first recited the incantation and then flew towards the edge of the island.

In the middle of the rainy night, he soon saw the camp where the group had set off, where the [Nikos] spellcasters who had stayed behind were all right, and they were not aware of the changes that had taken place on the island.

Immediately, Ronald fell to the ground.

He knew who he was.

As the leader of this operation, even if he intends to enter the ruins to find his companions, he must do so after he has done his duty.

"This ...... Lord Ronald? ”

After Ronald landed, someone from the camp quickly walked out.

But when he saw that Ronald was the only one who returned, he immediately realized something, and his expression instantly became serious:

"You came back alone, did you encounter any difficulties on the other side of the ruins?"

"The scope of the ruins has expanded." Ronald knew that time was running out for now, so he came up to explain succinctly, "Everyone but me was swallowed up by the ruins, but after that, my companions sent word that the ruins could be entered. ”

As a result, the caster of [Nikos] changed his expression drastically:

"Wait!"

"You...... You mean, Mr. Kolaman, Mr. Kolaman also ......"

Seeing that the caster in front of him was flustered like this, Ronald had no choice but to interrupt the other party's incoherent speech in an accentuated tone:

"Listen—everyone but me is swallowed up!"

"Neither [Nikos] nor [Grede] spellcasters are no exception in this regard."

“……”

Interrupted by Ronald in this way, the spell caster finally regained some composure, and was silent for a few seconds before re-speaking:

"So what do you mean now is that you want us to go in too......"

"No, you don't have to go in." Ronald interrupted again, "I'm going to go into the ruins alone and try to get people out and solve the problems of the ruins." ”

"The reason why I'm coming back now is that I hope you can send someone back to inform the land side of what is happening here, and at the same time keep a high level of attention to the ruins during this time, so as to prevent it from causing other unexpected changes again."

“……”

Ronald's order was clearly beyond the caster's thoughts.

After struggling to accept this information, the expression on the caster's face changed from doubt to disbelief:

"You...... Are you going to go in person? ”

Nothing else, but at least in the environment that [Nikos], this spellcaster, there is no big man who is the first to rush in and risk his life after the danger occurs.

Ronald's statement at the moment was really incomprehensible to him.

It even gave rise to the feeling that the holder of the original text in front of him was not mentally in trouble.

"You heard that right, I'll be going into the ruins next."

Ronald continued to acknowledge the question, his gaze drifting to the camp behind the caster.

While they were talking, the rest of the camp came out to check on them, and in a moment five or six people gathered around.

So Ronald took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Listen, here's what happened to us over there, you've all remembered it......"

Next, Ronald informs everyone of what happened at the ruins.

After confirming that many people had heard his description in its entirety, he finally patted the assigner in front of him on the shoulder and said in a commissioned tone:

"I'll leave these things to you."

"We'll see you later."

As the words landed, Ronald reactivated his flying spell and rushed to the border of the previous ruins.

This time, the safety of his companions is at stake.

Instead of rushing straight into the center, he walked inside the ruins on the ground after returning exactly to the place where everyone had disappeared.

“……”

With his feet on the wet ground, Ronald could clearly perceive the soft ground and moist air, and the crackling sound of the raindrops falling on the plants around him was also very clear.

But in such a sober state.

Ronald felt no magic encroaching on him, and there was no sign that some kind of environment was changing.

It's business as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.

"In this case, it's no wonder that the whole army will be wiped out......"

Faced with everything he had experienced, Ronald couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Only this kind of thing without warning can successfully capture all the casters at once. But the fact that Il's guy can become the only special case really reflects this guy's ability.

"Huh?"

Ronald sighed in his heart as he crossed the final threshold of three meters at the ruin's boundary.

This is the moment.

Everything around him changed in an instant that he couldn't even notice.

A second ago, Ronald was still in the dark and rainy night, surrounded by various plants growing on the island.

But the next second, it was already a sunny day above him.

Under my feet was a straight dirt road that was backward but had been clearly leveled.

Keep your eyes on this path.

An intact city of spellcasters at its peak, seemingly perched on the ground not far away, and even people can be seen coming and going.

Face this scene.

Ronald froze in place, hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking:

"It's ...... Lachemont? ”
