It wasn't long before Ronald chuckled.

Referring to the type of results that the church had obtained in spells, he felt that the first one was much more likely than the second.

And this means, except for Ronald himself.

The current Holy Capital seems to have become a huge trap for the [Nine Rings Secret Society].

Where you know or don't know.

One crisis after another, perhaps actively waiting for the other party to jump.

Be cautious.

Ronald stood still and continued to observe the changes in the water damage.

But unfortunately, the phantom of the Cathedral of Grace did not leave him with any more hints.

After the last sentence of farewell dissipated, the water stains quickly sublimated on the surface of the altar, and then disappeared without a trace.

Ronald bent over to take a closer look.

The cracks in the altar were indeed a simple physical damage, and even the change in value disappeared from the water stains.

“……”

"Looks like that's all it takes."

Confirming that there will be no further changes here, Ronald will not delve into the details.

After all, in the Holy Capital City, there are still enemies of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] waiting for him to crusade.

Reorganize your mindset.

Ronald turned and walked out of the chapel.

As a result, when he reached the gate, he sensed a powerful magic force that was rapidly approaching him.

The other party is rampage through the city, without any scruples.

The anxious state of mind is exposed.

However, instead of being cautious and nervous when greeting the enemy, Ronald's face showed a happy smile.

It's just because he detected the identity of the other party.

"Kostadt, you're finally here!"

Ronald walked straight out of the church, and on the other side of the street from the hermitage, the maid who had arrived as fast as she could finally appeared.

The words anxious and guilty were almost written on Kostadt's face.

She completely ignored everything in the Holy Capital, and saw only the figure of Ronald alone, and came to her master with a breeze at her feet, half-kneeling on the ground:

"Sorry sir, I'm late!"

After admitting his mistakes at work, Kostadt then explained:

"Once inside, I was trapped in a strange place in the middle of the city, and I had to think of a lot of ways to get out. As soon as I sensed your magic, I rushed over! ”

"There's no need to apologize for this kind of thing." He comforted Kostadt and helped him to his feet, before continuing to ask, "By the way, what about Marda?" Due to my special circumstances, the place where I entered the [Seven Strings Seal] is different from yours. You two won't be separated too, will you? ”

Kostat immediately shook his head and replied:

"I didn't show up in the same place as Marda."

"Probably...... Maybe it's because I'm not human, I'm alone, in a place full of sculptures. ”

"Sculpture?" Ronald frowned.

The maid immediately affirmed:

"That's right, it's supposed to be the workplace of a stonemason or something. A powerful spell enchantment completely covers the area, and the stone statues in it are magically activated and also have the ability to move themselves. I destroyed them all, and finally tore through the barrier before I managed to escape. ”

You're a great artifact killer......

Ronald complained in his heart, but it was more of a concern about the situation of his companions.

As he walked out with Kostat, he immediately recited the incantation:

"Its name is Styx,

The black water flowed down to the foot of the dark and precipitous cliff. ”

The black fog of hell emerged, and the power of original sin unfolded in an instant.

Ronald maximizes and refines his perception of human emotions.

But the results were regrettable.

The city was already full of invisible and untouchable signs of human activity, which directly interfered with Ronald's perception of other personnel.

Even if he was careful and serious enough.

It is still not possible to find Marda's location from the city.

Only individuals like Kostadt, who have a direct and close connection with him, can find each other's place through their connection.

"Kostadt, my spells are basically ineffective in terms of large-scale exploration, is there anything you can do?"

Ronald just asked casually, and Kostadt didn't have the ability to do this in the first place. But in order to show her usefulness in front of Ronald, the maid recited the incantation very simply:

"This argument is based on the fact that this continuous sequence of events coincides with a series of experiments!"

“……”

Ronald still knew Kostadt better, and he vaguely remembered that this spell should have nothing to do with finding someone.

But out of trust in the maid.

When he saw Kostadt's actions, he naturally watched quietly, waiting for the other party to give him a result.

However, as the seconds passed, the two blinked, and neither spoke.

Ronald had no choice but to start asking:

"Did your spell come to fruition?"

Kostadt replied quite honestly:

"We can act now! Just do something and you'll have an increased chance of bumping into someone else in the city! ”

“……”

Very well, sure enough, it's the spell that intervenes in probability.

The fact is-

Ronald's master and servant are both at a loss for what to do about the situation at the moment.

Even if Costadt did use effective spells, the probability of directly colliding with an enemy in such a large city ...... Even if this probability increases, it actually doesn't mean much.

Fortunately, Ronald is not a headless fly now.

In addition to the plan he had made before entering the Holy Capital, he already had a new goal:

"Since we need to act, let's go to the library in the city first, there should be something worth exploring."

The maid certainly had no problem with Ronald's decision.

However, out of growing curiosity, she asked one more question than she had ever followed orders directly:

"Sir, is there anything you need in the city's library?"

Ronald directly informed Kostadt of what had just happened to him in the Temple Trial.

Finally, he concluded:

"The figure of the sages in the cathedral, there is no reason to deceive me."

"So in the city's library, I think there's a good chance that something will be very helpful for our trip."

Satisfied with his curiosity, Kostadt didn't say much, but took a step forward and walked directly in front of Ronald.

The meaning of her action is obvious, that is, to explore the way first.

Once there is danger in the city, even the people of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] will launch a surprise attack on them. Then Kostadt, who is in the first place, can obviously block the first wave of attacks for the owner behind him.

"Kos ......"

Ronald wanted to open his mouth and let Kostadt step back behind him.

After all, whether in terms of strength or heart, he didn't want Kostadt to get hurt.

But at this time, he saw the serious and firm look in the maid's eyes, which was an unshakable determination.

Ronald's words stopped.

In the end, he did not speak, but acquiesced to Kostadt's decision to make his own expedition.
