「……」

The unconscious caster was unresponsive.

In order to better control the master of the Book of Interpretation, the [Nine Rings Secret Society] weakened his state as much as possible while maintaining the other party's life.

Even the suppression on his body has been destroyed with the collapse of the canyon fortress.

But Ronald only called softly, and he was extremely weak and could not wake up from his coma.

"Since you torture people like this...... Why don't you just kill people and let others own the original text?"

Ronald didn't understand why the [Nine Rings Secret Society] would be soft on this matter.

Just then, Costadt and Nicole followed from the passage behind them, and the three met again.

"Sir, congratulations on your victory." Kostat opened his mouth to congratulate.

The maid just took the investigator girl and watched the whole battle from a high altitude, and she also contributed her own strength, so she was quite eager.

Ronald looked steady and beckoned the two to come up:

"Well, you guys come and see this guy."

"Feel his magic, this should be the original tome bearer."

"Holder of the Book of Interpretation?" Nicole immediately stepped forward, and as an investigator, she was very interested.

Conduct an inspection in accordance with the usual method of assignment.

Nicole quickly came to a conclusion, but her tone revealed tangled doubts:

"This guy...... His mind was sealed with a strong canonical spell, and his body has not been able to perform decent movements, almost the same as those patients who have been paralyzed for several years!"

"Just kidding!"

Letting go of the probing palm, Nicole stood up and shook her head vigorously:

"Just like that to a canon holder? Shouldn't he be one of the most important members of the [Nine Rings Secret Society]?"

Ronald duly explained:

"I just got some news that he doesn't seem to have joined the [Nine Rings Secret Society], but has been restricted from his freedom and has become a tool man to decipher the original scriptures."

「……」

Nicole's expression was as odd as Ronald's reaction at first.

However, the investigator girl soon stopped dwelling, but took the initiative to guess:

"Could it be that this original text is very costly to use, which is why the [Nine Rings Secret Society] acts like this?"

"It doesn't really matter." Ronald was noncommittal. With these few words, he was ready to extract the magic of the original text and put the ultimate goal of this trip into action.

"Anyway, I'll pull out his original text first."

"You two help me look around."

The spell caster in front of him was not a member of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], so it was naturally impossible for Ronald to disregard the safety of the other party like he did with the enemy, and directly attack and forcibly withdraw.

On the premise of keeping the other party's life safe, he worked as quickly as possible with less brutality.

It's a difficult task.

The connection between the holder of the original canon and the original canon goes deep into the roots, and if such an important thing is forcibly cut from such a weak person, even gentle movements will bring unavoidable harm.

The process of extracting the original texts came to about one-fifth.

The caster's unconscious face turned hideous, and his whole body showed a tendency to curl up.

"In December 1831, as a naturalist, I had the privilege of embarking on a five-year scientific expedition around the world aboard the HMS Beagle."

Ronald immediately recited a spell to send the life force of "Origin of Species" into the opponent's body, saving the body that was about to collapse.

The effects of canonical spells are still trustworthy.

After only a few breaths of rescue, the unconscious man's body relaxed, and Ronald helped this guy restore his weak physique to the level of a normal person in line with the idea of a good person doing it to the end.

Wait until the moment when the original text is extracted.

The caster who should have been severely damaged by this encounter instead

It's healthier than when you had the original!

"Whew—"

Accomplishing his purpose, Ronald let go of his opponent's body and let out a long sigh of relief.

Holding the original text in front of him, Ronald read out the name of the original text:

"The ...... of "Explaining Words"

Ronald lost his mind for a moment.

I have experienced so many things in this world, and it is rare to come across an original book from my hometown.

As for the actual capabilities of this original text.

Like the news I heard, it was natural to crack the other original texts.

However, "Shuowen Jie Zi" is similar to "Labyrinth Picture Book", which only provides a spell of the original nature of the original text, and has a unique and powerful ability.

It was also the understanding of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" that allowed Ronald to understand what happened to the spell caster in front of him.

"Shuowen Jie Zi" was compiled by Xu Shen during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At that time, scholars had great contradictions in their understanding and interpretation of the Five Classics because of the problem of ancient and modern factions, and there was a struggle for understanding with each other.

Shuowen Jie Zi succeeded in doing this, but when it evolved into the original text, disputes over its origin were introduced into the ability and evolved into the price to be paid for casting spells.

Therefore, using "Shuowen Jie Zi" to crack the original text will attract rejection and malice from other people's positions and concepts.

If the [Nine Rings Secret Society] does not plan to have a dangerous element engaged in self-splitting from within, then controlling an outsider and using the other party to crack the original text is undoubtedly the best choice.

Ronald stared at "Saying Words and Interpreting Words" and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Nicole also poked her head curiously, stared at the original text in Ronald's hand and asked:

"This is the Book of Interpretation?"

Ronald corrected with a serious expression:

"That's right, but its real name is "Shuowen Jie Zi", you can remember it."

「……」

The investigator girl blinked.

She was not as greedy as an ordinary spellcaster, but instead sat on the ground unconcernedly, and put on a more comfortable position:

"So, what are you going to do with this thing?"

"If it were Ronald, you wouldn't need this much, would you?"

The corners of Ronald's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, Nicole knew about his special ability to crack the original text.

People who are familiar with Ronald can vaguely detect his specialness, let alone a guy like Nicole.

And just like the investigator girl said.

Ronald himself wants to decipher the original canon, just rely on the ability of language literacy to read it, and don't have to pay any excessive price, which ...... Isn't it much easier to use than "Saying Wen Jie Zi"?

So this book, which is extremely important to the mysterious side, is worthless in his hands.

Ronald thought for a few seconds, and then threw "Saying Words and Words" directly into Nicole's arms.

The original canon smashed on her body, Nicole's reaction was as if someone had put a red-hot iron ingot in her arms, and the comfortable movement of sitting on the ground immediately panicked.

"Ro, Ronald, what do you mean!"

Ronald replied with a smile:

"It's not interesting, it's just for you."

"But I'll tell you in advance, using this thing to crack the original canon is very problematic, and it will cause malice in other people's perceptions and positions."
