Nicole didn't expect Ronald to play such a hand.

She held "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" in her hand, and immediately realized what kind of treasure she had gotten.

As Ronald said, the use of this original book comes at a serious cost, but that doesn't detract from the enormous value it actually has!

Nicole herself is able to control her desires and refuse the temptations that lie in front of her.

But she doesn't intend to betray her identity as an investigator, so it is absolutely impossible to deal with "Saying Wen Jie Zi" as casually as Ronald did.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Faced with this hot potato, Nicole couldn't help but scratch her ears and cheeks.

"Ronald, it's too cunning for you to leave it to me if you want to be troublesome!"

Ronald is trying to contact the seal on the caster's body to bring him back to consciousness.

Hearing the complaint of the investigator girl on the side, he couldn't help but smile and replied:

"If you really don't want it, you can go back and present it to Her Majesty."

"And Nicole, I'm afraid the value of this thing will decrease quickly, so I suggest you send it up sooner."

"Reduced value?" Nicole was drawn to Ronald's statement and immediately asked, "What do you mean by that, Ronald?" Even if there is a price to pay for using this thing, its value is still quite stable, right?"

Ronald made a move in his hand.

He pondered for a few seconds before he spat out a short word: "Barrier Mountain."

"The sealed ancient wizards?" Nicole was still puzzled, "Haven't they already been dealt with?" Even if there are still fish that slip through the net, they are still a minority of the few, and they can't make any waves at all."

"In the years when they were sealed into the [Infinite Negative Realm], the wizards of the Dark Ages have been refining their skills and studying the original texts in depth. Under tremendous external pressure, they even put aside the disputes of the past and reached unprecedented cooperation in many aspects."

「……」

Nicole was still thinking about it at first, but soon her expression changed.

"You don't mean to say - they've managed to crack the text, do you?"

Ronald was noncommittal about this, but replied in a calm tone:

"Maybe not all."

"But in terms of what I've seen, they've cracked a few of the major languages used in the original texts. Although most of the wizards of Barrier Mountain have died, the remaining survivors will definitely pass on this knowledge to this world."

Speaking of which, Ronald thinks a lot.

The nameless man who passed the original text to Steele in [Entrode], Caterina who is currently walking in the world, and many spellcasters who he doesn't even know about the situation. These people have good and bad intentions, but there is not much difference in one thing – they are all passing on their knowledge.

On the other hand, Nicole, a girl who currently works for the Investigation Bureau, is not so happy.

She had no doubts about Ronald's explanation.

And after accepting such a reality, and then looking at the "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" that she just got in her arms, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

「……」

"The next time something like this happens, I'd rather I didn't know."

Nicole is complaining, but her actions in reality have proven her attitude to change. Just now, "Saying Wen Jie Zi", which seemed to be a hot potato, was put into the waterproof pocket of the investigator's inner robe, and then she got up from the ground again.

The conversation ended, and Ronald was still dealing with the caster in front of him.

The spell of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] to seal this person was very powerful, and he tossed it seriously for a few minutes, and finally pried open a gap in the outermost spell "hard shell".

The magic continued to explore inward, and then began to touch the core of this seal.

The speed of unlocking the seal has greatly accelerated, and it is estimated that it will only take a few minutes to completely liberate the other party.

"That's right!"

While Ronald was patiently operating, he suddenly remembered the ability of his maid, so he hurriedly took the time to call:

"Kos

Tate, come here!"

"Sir?" The maid immediately approached.

"Aren't you able to read memories?" Ronald said what he thought, "This guy can't resist at all, you look at his memories and make sure we didn't help the wrong person."

The information obtained before and the reality in front of him proved the innocence of the caster in front of him.

But Ronald didn't let that put him down.

In the face of the group of enemies of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], he had to ensure that there were no problems as much as possible.

Costadt immediately stepped forward, crouched side by side with Ronald, and reached out to hold the unconscious man's forehead.

Ronald reminded, "By the way, you now have a full personality, be careful when reading your memories, don't bring your feelings into it."

The maid was stunned.

Ronald noticed a change that she couldn't notice on her own, and it really was something to be careful about!

"Thank you, sir, for the reminder."

After adjusting his mentality, Kostadt began to contact the memories in the depths of the other party's mind.

「……」

For a moment, the ruins of the ruined fortress fell silent.

Ronald and Kostadt each do their jobs, focusing on maintaining the spells at hand.

Only Nicole was left with a sad job, pacing back and forth here.

At the same time, it also provides security for the two people.

A few minutes later, Costadt completed his spell first, letting go of his palm with the memory of the other party.

Although Ronald was a little slower, he also quickly cleared the other party's seal.

"Kostadt, how's it going?"

The maid immediately replied:

"Sir, this man was originally from [Grede] and worked in the printing office of [Hostan]. He was working overtime at night and noticed that there was suddenly an extra book in the office papers, so he picked it up and looked at it."

Ronald looked at the unconscious man in front of him, not knowing whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky:

"He just happened to bump into the appearance of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi"?"

Costa nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, but unfortunately, a [Nine Rings Secret Society] infiltrator also works in the Printing Bureau, and discovered his secret. Because of the good relationship between his colleagues, the practitioner of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] did not harm his life, but took him away and controlled him."

「……」

Ronald shook his head and sighed.

The classic puppet is innocent and guilty.

Although "Shuowen Jie Zi" is very capable, where can ordinary people who have just obtained it find a new original text to crack it, and then exercise its magical power?

The simple "Interpretation of Words" cannot provide any change in strength.

So when he met that [Nine Rings Secret Society] colleague, this man's fate had already gone dark.

"What a bad guy......

With a sigh in his mouth, Ronald reached out and patted the unconscious man on the cheek.

"It's time to wake up, sir."

The seal left on the other party has been lifted.

At this moment, Ronald called softly, and the man opened his eyes, and asked with a slightly blank gaze:

"I...... Do you want me to crack those books again?"
