After Ronald hurried to the Fort of Orleans, he found the princess and explained to her what he was going to do.

"Your strength is already so strong, do you still need to go out and take risks?"

Ronald smiled bitterly and spread out his hands: "That's also a matter of no way, who called this a condition for the Red Dragon's assistance at that time." It was in charge of helping Falken, and I was in charge of helping it explore the entire Ecles Mountains. ”

As for the deeper reason, Ronald didn't plan to say it, who called Falken is also in trouble at the moment, and he doesn't want Victoria to be overly distracted. After all, no one likes that a new country is about to appear around them, and what is even more terrifying is that the king of this soon-to-be-established country is a "dragon".

Of course, Ronald was in a hurry to explore and had a little selfishness - in order to obtain more ice crystals and draw magic from that little goblin.

Yesterday he had already thought very clearly, according to the development of the war, sooner or later he would have to transform into a state of a fallen angel. At that time, if it was still at the level of this half-ass, it would not be able to cope with the entanglement of Adra's woman.

He didn't want to be involved with those guys anymore.

However, if you want to protect your companions, it seems that you will eventually have a relationship...... Either Lucifer, sealed in the abyss, or Jehovah, who sat high in the clouds...... Or is it the red dragon next to you?

Thoughts flickered, and the melancholy on Ronald's face flickered and became calm again. He saw that Victoria was also looking troubled, which made him inevitably a little curious.

"What's the matter, Your Highness Princess?"

Victoria didn't respond, she was still troubled, she couldn't think of a reason to stay. After all, without Ronald signing a contract with the red dragon, the red dragon that is not under his control is only to deter the enemy, and will not suddenly attack the imperial forces on the battlefield. Unless it is time for the royal city to be conquered, the red dragon is not obliged to make a move.

Now, though, this is an eventful time...... It wouldn't be good if the Imperial forces came back when Ronald was gone.

When she was distressed, she suddenly remembered that she still had such a thing!

Although this is something that the royal family uses to save their lives, Victoria doesn't care so much at the moment.

"By the way, I have a communication crystal and a one-way teleportation circle scroll here!" Victoria hurriedly took out the two things and handed them to Ronald: "This crystal can last ten seconds of short calls." The Teleportation Scroll, on the other hand, will teleport you to a secret room in the Royal City. ”

Ronald took the two things and tentatively made his judgment: "In case of trouble, I should rush back as soon as possible?"

"That's right!" Victoria nodded. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still mustered up the courage to raise her head bravely and looked at Ronald with determined eyes: "If I can, this is my plea on behalf of our people of Falken. ”

"Okay, I see. Ronald naturally had no intention of objecting.

Victoria couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You are willing to help us, it is really an honor for us in Falken!"

Ronald couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, looking a little helpless: "Please, Your Royal Highness the Princess, don't look at me with that kind of look......"

He knew very well that he was not as noble as the princess said. He didn't fight for the people of Falken, he fought to protect his friends. As for the princess in front of him, Ronald couldn't help but smile, and he was also his friend.

The princess couldn't help but raise her hand to cover the corners of her mouth, and her eyes narrowed like the moon.

"Alright then, Lord Ronald. ”

She handed two things to Ronald's eyes.

He took the crystal, pointed the transparent crystal at the light, and observed it repeatedly, but he didn't detect anything except for the faint fluctuation of mana.

Is this the magic alchemy technique after a thousand years? It seems that he has been sleeping for too long, and he can no longer keep up with the level of magic development in this era......

The corners of Ronald's mouth rose, and after laughing at himself in his heart, he turned his gaze to the princess beside him, holding the crystal and shaking it.

"I know how to use the scroll, and I know the meaning of this crystal, but how do I activate it?"

"No, no, no. ”

Victoria waved her hand again and again, and took out another crystal of a slightly different color: "Your piece of transparency is only used to receive messages." The one in my hand is a little more colorful, and it is used to convey a message. ”

Victoria pointed to the crystal in her hand and continued.

"Don't underestimate such a small piece, it's incredibly expensive, and you can only use it once. The same goes for that scroll, which costs at least three to five thousand gold coins to make. It's a pity that we in Falken don't have the financial resources to build the Teleportation Inn......"

"I see. Ronald nodded, and quickly threw out another question: "Can you accept it in the space ring?"

The princess raised her head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Don't you say that I almost forgot, this can only be put on my body." If it is placed in a space ring, it will not work because the space is isolated. ”

"Okay. Ronald carefully placed the crystal in the pocket on his chest: "If there are no other orders, I will go." ”

Victoria waved her hand and said goodbye to him with a smile: "Go to the morning meeting early." ”

Ronald made a trip back to the manor, and after explaining to Kerry and the others, he set off for the Ecles Mountains.

After saying goodbye, he was surprised to find that he didn't seem to have seen Annina recently.

I wasn't present at the wedding that day......

Where did she go?

With some doubt, Ronald walked briskly away from the manor.

To make it less conspicuous, he wandered around the nearby market and changed into the outfit of an ordinary adventurer—a long-sleeved collared top with a gray jacket, light gray straight trousers, and a pair of common traveler's boots on his feet, which were tightly tied at the ankles with leggings. In addition, he wore a gray hooded cape. And he specially bought a cloth bag, which contained some gold coins to meet the usual expenses.

Satisfied, with a steel sword at his waist, Ronald checked the bronze medallion of adventurers in the ring, and then he pulled up his hood and drove away in the direction of Yorktown.

"Drive, drive!"

The horses raise their hooves and bring out a little bit of flying mud.

Along the way, the cold wind whined, bringing a chill to Ronald.

In the sky, white snowflakes are flying all over the sky. They sprinkled the whole land with a blanket of silver. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless whiteness, and only a few points of verdant stubbornness stand in the middle.

When he arrived in Yorktown, he found that there were many fewer townspeople here, and there were not many people drinking in the originally lively tavern at the moment.

He knew it was because of the war.

The inhabitants of the Fort d'Orleans could still hide in the castle, but these distant towns could not be effectively protected by the lords. The townspeople were forced to either move or stay here.

Fortunately, this big victory in Falken has brought great confidence and expectations to the surrounding people. Although Yorktown is a little deserted, it is only relatively peaceful, and there are still many adventurers sitting here at the moment, and it has not been depressed to the point of dilapidation.

After boarding the horses, Ronald ordered a glass of ale and a steak. Not long after he sat down, he heard some adventurers talking about the war.

He listened patiently for a while, feeling that he didn't get any useful information, so he didn't pay any attention to the guys.

Suddenly, a modest voice came.

"Friend, would you be interested in joining our adventure party?"

Ronald looked up and saw that it was a gray-robed mage about his own age, looking at him with a smile. And this mage, in addition to the four uniformly dressed swordsmen, there is also a thief, a ranger, and a dozen mercenaries with various weapons.

Ronald was spotted looking at himself, and the mage Angus didn't mind. "I think you're going to go to the Ecles Mountains for training, right? I think it's safer when there are more people. ”

Ronald then spoke, expressing his doubts: "Why did you find me?"

The mage pointed to another table of adventurers. "They've formed a team, and I see that you seem to be alone, so I wonder if we can be together, and we can take care of each other when we go on adventures. ”

Ronald was curious, because this mage was very sincere, and there was no trace of arrogance.

Finding Ronald's somewhat moved expression, the mage bowed slightly, and sincerely invited Ronald: "My name is Angus, a wandering mage. And they are my servants and companions, and they are on an adventure together. ”

Seeing that the mage took the initiative to salute, Ronald also quickly stood up and saluted as a mercenary. After that, he smiled and declined the mage's kindness: "I'm sorry, but I still have my own business to do. ”

With a friendly smile, Angus didn't insist on a few polite words. Before leaving, he suddenly asked again: "I'm sorry, I haven't asked your name yet, do you mind telling us?"

Ronald hesitated for a moment, then said his real name in his previous life: "Samael." ”

Did they recognize me?

When he saw them sit down again, Ronald grabbed his knife and fork and feasted on it. When he saw the mage and the others go upstairs to rest, Ronald put down his knife and fork and called the maid to settle the bill.

After paying for the meal and one night's accommodation, he followed him upstairs with the key.

However, Ronald, who thought that the guys had some bad intentions, only heard that they were planning to hunt a bison, but felt that they were short of manpower before finding him.

It turns out that the eyes of the bison can also be used as a material for dreadful arts...... Can bison horns be exchanged for a few hundred gold coins?

When he realized that they were just discussing this, Ronald immediately lost interest in eavesdropping. But not long after returning to the room, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and became excited.

Heck, I just thought about hunting monsters to get magic crystals, why didn't I think these materials could be exchanged for money? Kerry also said that a magic lizard skin can be exchanged for one or two thousand gold coins, and that toenail is also a material that many people need.

After the initial excitement, he rubbed the scar on his sideburns again, becoming a little distressed.

But I don't know which parts of Warcraft are valuable...... If you go back with a corpse, this ring is only ten cubic meters, how many magical beasts can it hold? It seems that I have to find an opportunity to learn about magic materials.

Ronald hesitated to reach out to them. (To be continued.) )
