Chapter 1450: Selfish Desires
So Anthony joined the excavation work.
With the combined efforts of the three skilled spell casters, the speed of clearing these ruins and fragments was naturally hand-to-hand, and the speed was greatly accelerated.
Just a few minutes later.
Ronald, who had the clearest position, finally saw the familiar color of the robe of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] practitioner after lifting a broken piece of building fragments.
"This guy's body is here!" Ronald said excitedly.
Kostadt and Anthony, who were next to them, heard the voice and immediately shifted their attention.
With a little action, the three of them successfully cleared the location where the [Nine Rings Secret Society] caster was killed.
Just see the scene buried in the ground.
The three of them fell silent in unison.
……
It's miserable!
This spellcaster, who was already cut off by Ronald.
After losing the life sustained by the spell, the body is almost immediately inactive.
Coupled with the pressure from his surroundings when he was underground, his body, which was originally divided into two parts, had now been crushed into an erosive piece, and the holes in his robes could even see broken bones poked out of his body.
The elderly Anthony couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene:
"Mr. Ronald, the fate of this enemy is really uncomfortable just to look at."
Ronald didn't want to take the blame for this tragedy.
He immediately shrugged his shoulders and explained to Anthony:
"To be reasonable, it's not something I did."
"The way things turned out in the end was because they wanted to get rid of me, a tricky enemy, and set such a terrible trap. In fact, if my strength is a little weak, I'm afraid that he is not the only one who will have a tragedy here. ”
Ronald's words were just a simple explanation, but they provoked a strong reaction from Kostadt on the side:
"Sir, it will never be like this!"
"Kostadt is here, if this happens, I will do everything in my power to save you!"
“……”
"Kostadt, if you do find yourself in a similar situation, I want your safety to be your number one priority."
Ronald also didn't expect Kostadt's reaction to be so violent.
So as soon as the maid spoke, he gave a new order to the other party.
When Kostat heard this, he naturally retorted.
However, Ronald waved his hand and interrupted the maid's movements with no objection.
Then he stepped forward and, patiently disgusting, uncovered the robes from the corpse.
- "The Theory of the Nature of Things".
The original canon belonging to the caster lay silently here.
In the final state of this original canon holder, there is definitely no way to do anything more about this original tome, so he can only let it naturally detach from the corpse after his death.
Ronald quickly reached out and scooped up the original text, and Anthony on the side also gave him a curious look.
In normal times, this old man would definitely not look at other people's original texts so aggressively. It's just that along the way, Anthony more or less understands Ronald's informal character, so he is so close at this moment:
"This is the original text of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] spellcaster......"
Anthony's voice was a little emotional.
He thought that this was the original text of the enemy who occupied the dominance of his land, and many emotions naturally came out in his heart.
Ronald answered:
"That's right, I also learned some information during the battle, and its name is "The Theory of Things".
When the name of the original text was pronounced, there was a hint of respect in Ronald's tone.
It's not just a tribute to this great work.
At the same time, it is also a respect for the casters of this world who once held this original text.
However, for a number of reasons.
Ronald had no intention of exposing himself to Anthony by exposing his ability to crack the original canon at will.
So he just did a preliminary examination of the original text.
Then it was put away in the normal way.
Seeing this action, Kostat knew that the matter here was over, and immediately asked:
"Sir, are we going to leave this island now?"
Ronald shook his head and looked at Anthony next to him:
"Mr. Anthony, Kostat and I were blocked from reconnaissance during the previous battle, and there is no way to estimate the location too far."
"You were at the beach at the time, you should have seen the guy who escaped with his doppelganger, right?"
Ronald's question was actually a small temptation.
It is true that he has been frequently blocked by the spells of the [Theory of Things] during the battle, but when he was able to use the spell several times during the battle, he still noticed Anthony's condition.
Actually outside the island.
The location of the elderly spellcaster, and the subsequent delay in returning to the island, should all have something to do with the original canon holder who was able to clone himself.
Next, Anthony dispelled Ronald's doubts with practical actions, and he even directly revealed the enemy's old bottom:
"I did run into that guy, and there were some not-so-troublesome fights."
"In the process of trying to stop him from escaping, I found that after the guy's clone dies or cancels it voluntarily, the memories will be synchronized to the other clones. Unfortunately, there were too many people fleeing on the sea, and I tried to annihilate a lot, but I still couldn't find his true body, and finally let him escape. ”
Ronald did not care about the escape of the enemy:
"It's nothing, victory is never about destroying the enemy in a battle, it's about achieving one's own goals."
"We have now weakened the [Nine Rings Secret Society]'s high-end combat power, and we have also dealt a blow to their plan to dig up the ruins of the island. By any measure, it was a very successful raid. ”
Anthony agrees with Ronald.
He soon stopped dwelling on his mistake and continued Kostadt's question:
"So what do you mean now?"
"Shall we stay here and continue to set traps and wait for the enemy to counterattack, or shall we retreat to the mainland and continue to wait for an opportunity?"
“……”
Faced with this question, Ronald did not answer immediately.
He looked at the earth-compacted underground ruins around him, and the lust in his heart was at work.
Ronald has always been a man who loves what he does.
This has not changed even when it comes into this world.
So after weighing the pros and cons according to the actual situation, he made a slightly selfish decision, but it will not affect the overall situation:
"After we leave today, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to go back to this island anytime soon."
"So before leaving, I suggest that we study the situation here as much as possible, check the specific situation of the ruins, and maybe find some secrets about the [Nine Rings Secret Society]."
"Of course, in order not to delay business."
"Whether we have a harvest or not, we will leave here as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning!"
