"What do you say...... What is the meaning? ”

The previous temptation of the conversation, Ronald can think of it as an 'encounter' that does not need to be taken to heart.

But as soon as the girl said this, the situation was completely different.

Not to mention the friends on the [Grede] fleet who have a good relationship with him, even if he only considers Kostadt and Il, Ronald must not ignore the past.

"It's just literal, is it hard to understand?"

On the other side, the girl who saw Ronald standing in place and managed to keep him also looked very happy.

As the guy continued to move closer to Ronald, he began to explain:

"The relationship between the cultist warlock and [Grad] is not good in the first place, and now that the fleet is passing through the country under their control, even if it is difficult to do it due to some problems on the surface, there will still be no shortage of stumbling blocks."

“……”

The expression on Ronald's face did not change, but he knew in his heart that he had been moved by what the other party said.

Although it has been separated from the fleet, it is related to the fleet.

He couldn't have left it alone.

"Ronald, I've heard about your style of doing things, too." At this time, the girl had already approached Ronald and took the initiative to advance the conversation, "So, let's make a deal." ”

"I help you solve the plot of the cult warlocks against the fleet, and you help me deal with these cult warlocks. The goal of no contradiction can make it easier for each of us, so why not? ”

The words landed, and the girl held her right hand in front of her and invited Ronald with a smile that was not hostile at all.

And in her outstretched hand, Ronald saw magic fluctuations in the girl in front of him for the first time.

A powerful and steady spell wrapped around this white, soft hand.

Too much power shows its role to the surroundings - it is a pact to form an alliance.

And the way to agree is naturally to hold it.

“……”

Standing across from the girl, Ronald looked at the other man's pupils seriously.

In the end, he made sure that there was no trap in the contract in the other party's hand, and although he still didn't say a word, Ronald finally raised his arm and took the initiative to hold the girl's right hand.

……

After the alliance.

Ronald and the girl in the long skirt go to the city of [Anroe Island] together.

On the way, the two had a brief exchange, and Ronald also learned more about each other.

First of all, the maiden has two names.

One was given by the cult warlock, and she's abandoned it.

And the new name, which she gave herself after discovering Ronald, is called Gwendoline.

According to Gwendoline herself.

Previously, Ronald observed that the multiple factors in her body were all the result of her special existence, and her own strength was probably between the original canon holder and the top ordinary spellcaster.

can know so much about Ronald only because she has been in the environment of a cult warlock for a long time, and she has gained a lot from hearing and seeing.

In Gwendoline's original plan.

After escaping from the [Rooney Kingdom], she prepared to quietly board the [Grede] fleet that was about to arrive at the port of [Anro] Island, so as to get rid of the country ruled by the cultists.

But that's just the way it happened.

As she hid in the no-man's-land on the shore in a stealthy posture and waited quietly for the [Grede] fleet, Ronald appeared.

The news that the cultist warlock received, the resentment in his heart, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity collided.

Gwendoline then decided to take the plunge into Ronald in order to seek revenge against the cultist.

……

Ronald had reservations about Gwendoline's claims.

On the one hand, the reason is that Ronald can't use spells to confirm the true state of this guy, not to mention the emotional perception of [Lie Detector] or [Rage], and even [Greedy Original Sin], he didn't find out more information about Gwendoline.

On the other hand, it is Ronald's suspicion of Gwendoline.

It's like what the girl called a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity, and it happened so coincidentally that it is impossible to trust it.

But Gwendoline didn't seem to care much about the estrangement.

After successfully forming an alliance with Ronald, this guy will honestly lead the way, and Ronald's questions will inevitably be answered.

Such an active and cooperative appearance made Ronald even more confused about her details.

That's what Ronald thinks -

This cult warlock has made something that, if not some monster with more intelligence than he can imagine, then a guy with a problematic brain.

Beyond that, there are other possibilities!

……

Ronald and Gwendoline, one leading the way, the other moving forward.

It didn't take long for the only city on [Anrok Island] to come into view.

As an outpost of the [Rooney Kingdom], the city on this island has no other name, so it directly uses the name of the island as its own name.

At the same time, the level of management of the city is quite unusual.

The city was barely guarded by the sea, and Ronald and his wife did not have to bother to enter the city.

The city doesn't look like anything striking either.

Busy ports, ancient cities, people rushing to make a living, only the magicians who are more common as the world changes, are still proving that the city is changing.

“……”

"Ronald, why do you keep frowning?"

Seeing that the city under the management of the cult warlock actually showed such a look, Ronald was of course puzzled. Noticing this expression, Gwendoline, who was full of enthusiasm on the side, took the initiative to ask:

"Is there anything incomprehensible? If you have one, just ask me, and as an ally, I'll definitely give you the answer! ”

Ronald looked at Gwendoline.

There aren't any superfluous movements on this guy's body, not even human micro-expressions. Wanting to spy on each other's thoughts through one-sided observation is almost like a dream.

So Ronald spoke, half tentatively, half inquiringly:

"Of course I understand that a city under the management of ordinary people behaves like this. But as a place run by cult warlocks, I don't quite understand it. ”

"You're confused about this!" Gwendoline suddenly realized, "There is a reason for this. The current ruler of the [Rooney Kingdom] is the leader of the cult warlocks, Baprol. ”

"That guy is very special in the internal management of the [Rooney Kingdom], but for the external port of [Anluo Island], he treats it more lightly and establishes external contacts in a more secure way."

Gwendoline explained the reason generously.

At this moment, she stopped, and then introduced Ronald:

"Alright, we're here."

"Ronald, look—in front of you is the center of the government agency on [Anro Island]!"
