"..."
At this mont, the dark castle banquet hall was silent.
The atmosphere here was so quiet that even human breathing seed sowhat jarring.
Gwendolin's voice appeared so 'precise.'
And what she said made everyone present unable to remain calm.
If Gwendolin was not lying.
Then for the cult magicians, the goal of their school all along—the great presence—was right before their eyes.
As for Ronald and the others, the real danger had always been by their side.
This was simply the most indescribably bizarre encounter!
However, among these casters with varying thoughts, Ronald was the one who most believed Gwendolin's words.
There are two reasons.
The first is the failure of "Greed's Original Sin."
Ronald had experienced the power of the "Divine Cody" spell countless tis, and there were very few entities that could exempt its effects. The great presence so powerful that it was normal not to be able to detect it, having been wary since the first encounter with Ronald in Entrod.
The second is her mysterious and elusive abilities.
Only a spell as advanced and uniquely systematic as "Capitalism" could barely detect a trace. Among the enemies Ronald had faced, this was the only terrifying ability.
"Gwendolin... Ms.?"
At this mont, a voice broke the silence of the banquet hall.
Sitting at the director's seat, Bapulor knew he couldn't remain passive, so he took the initiative to try and speak with this unseen presence.
"If you are willing to descend the curtain, could you reveal yourself and talk to us?"
"..."
"Hehe—"
The invisible, shadowless Gwendolin laughed, her tone mixed with a scrutinizing implication:
"Bapulor, is this a demand or a request?"
Bapulor imdiately responded loudly:
"This is my request to you!"
Gwendolin's voice beca cheerful:
"Since it's a request, shouldn't you offer tribute?"
Bapulor, maintaining a respectful attitude, continued:
"Anything that belongs to , feel free to take."
"..."
"Tsk, so boring."
Such an answer instead made Gwendolin dissatisfied.
However, she didn't trouble Bapulor. As the conversation ended, she indeed appeared in the banquet hall.
Only it was different from before.
Gwendolin, who no longer concealed her identity from Ronald, was now acting more boldly.
This ti she appeared in the banquet hall sitting directly in Ronald's lap!
"Gwendolin, what do you an by this?"
Faced with such treatnt, Ronald's reaction was naturally very intense.
He almost instinctively wanted to throw Gwendolin off, but she locked Ronald's thighs tightly with both hands, making it impossible for Ronald to shake her off even with all his strength.
And Gwendolin...
Engaging in a struggle for strength and balance with Ronald, she shouted quite displeased amidst the shaking as if taming a wild horse:
"What's going on! Didn't you have a good ti with those two girls last night?"
"My body is at least that of a beauty, what's wrong with letting sit for a while? Ronald, this is too double-standard of you!"
"..."
Gwendolin's complaints instead gave Ronald a piece of information—she didn't intend to act out for the ti being.
So he adjusted his strategy.
He reached out to lock Gwendolin's neck and shoulders before continuing:
"Alright, then you keep sitting."
"But before that, I have so questions to ask you first."
Gwendolin, undeterred, changed the posture of her hands.
After tightly gripping Ronald's hands, she responded:
"Ask any question you want!"
"Honestly, when we t, I revealed quite a bit of information honestly to you, you shouldn't turn around and forget all about them, right?"
"..."
Ronald was silent for a few seconds.
If he were to nitpick, he could certainly find loopholes in Gwendolin's words.
But given the current environnt, such matters were no longer important, so Ronald directly got to the point:
"Last ti in Entrod, I rember you weren't like this."
"That's you mistaking for soone else!" Gwendolin imdiately replied, "Among the many worlds, the individuals after ascension are as nurous as the stars, those cult magicians shouting with loudspeakers, many have heard them!"
Ronald's eyes raised:
"You're not that guy from last ti?"
Gwendolin nodded openly and replied:
"Of course!"
"He discovered the summoning anchor point and then squeezed in using spells. anwhile, I directly locked onto this world and jumped in whenever there was a chance."
After explaining the differences between the two, Gwendolin also added:
"Honestly, I'm much stronger than that guy last ti."
"You can tell from the way I entered, right?"
"..."
Should I really be cheering for this?
Regarding these 'visitors' from beyond the world, Ronald found it hard to make a decision for the ti being.
If Gwendolin were like that guy from Entrod.
Ronald, as a human, would definitely find it acceptable, even if he had to fight the opponent to the death.
But the current Gwendolin...
At least during the few days interacting with Ronald, she hadn't hard any innocent person.
To directly act against soone like that would feel completely different.
"Ronald, I'm on a different level compared to that guy before." While Ronald hesitated, it was Gwendolin sitting in his lap who spoke up, "If you want to drive out, those ti-related or causal spells are absolutely ineffectual."
Ronald found it increasingly difficult to grasp Gwendolin's attitude.
He thought about using discourse to extract information from her.
But considering the situation with the person on his lap, Ronald eventually abandoned that plan and directly asked:
"Gwendolin, what do you an by this?"
"I an, I'm entirely different from the little one you t before." Gwendolin chuckled, then began to explain, "He ca for profit, but I ca just to make myself happy."
"So even if I'm expelled—so long as I've gained happiness, it's fine."
"..."
"You've already breached the contract once."
Ronald pondered for a while before continuing,
"So even if I act according to your idea, it doesn't guarantee that you will honestly leave."
Hearing Ronald's words, Gwendolin spoke with an entitled but mocking tone:
"Ronald, acting as you please is a demon's privilege."
"And in this matter, you don't have the right to refuse... No! It's that you lack the ability to refuse!"
