"Ronald, co and take a look at this."
At this mont, Catherine called out with considerable enthusiasm.
Seeing Warner Son was deep in thought, Ronald didn't interrupt him but walked over to check on Catherine's situation.
Right now, the Astrology Tower Master was holding the briefcase that Dalmann had brought.
She opened it proactively and displayed it to Ronald, revealing only a few thin booklets inside.
Ronald glanced at them, and his expression suddenly beca serious.
An ordinary caster might not detect anything, but as soone who possessed several original tos, Ronald imdiately recognized the identity of these booklets.
They were all original texts harboring imnse power!
"Shall we take them out for a look?" Catherine suggested with a smile.
Ronald nodded slightly and directly took out these tos from the bag.
However, just at first glance, he felt the weight of the items in his hand, as Ronald realized from just looking at the covers the potential danger they held.
"The Horror in the Idol," "Madness from the Sea," "Hound," "From the Other World."
A total of four booklets.
Each one a tale from Cthulhu Mythos!
And due to his experience collecting the "Divine Cody," Ronald had a vague feeling that these four booklets were actually parts of a larger original to. If all are collected, they would form a complete series of original texts!
"Ronald, why the strange look in your eyes?"
anwhile, Catherine, who had been so interested just monts ago, also began to compose herself. Ronald rarely beca so serious, aning things were definitely not simple.
Catherine fixed her gaze on these booklets but couldn't discern the enigma:
"Are there major problems with these original tos?"
"The issue is very severe." Ronald nodded gravely, "They, like my 'Divine Cody' and your 'Galactic Empire,' belong to a series composed of multiple original texts."
Still confused, Catherine found this unlike the Ronald she knew.
"Acquiring such an item only ans having mastery of another spell. For people of our caliber—" Catherine blinked, her eyes filled with a bit of incredulity, "Ronald, have you had a change of heart?"
"Impossible!" Ronald shook his head decisively.
"However, the content of this original to is extrely unfriendly to humanity. I suspect—no, I am quite certain—if it falls into the hands of soone with ill intent, it could pose a trendous threat!"
Though Ronald warned seriously, Catherine remained unconvinced, instead considering the matter through the lens of her experience:
"Could it be more severe than the invasion of the 'Four Cardinal Heavens'?"
Realizing re words were insufficient, Ronald decided to let Catherine witness the object's destructive power herself:
"My suggestion is—for you to use 'Psychological History' to predict a bit, just rember to protect yourself."
"Hmm." Catherine raised an eyebrow.
She promptly took Ronald's advice and, even after activating her Complete Technique, began chanting the spell of 'Psychological History':
"His na is Gale Donik, originally just a rural child, never before ventured to Trantor. Or perhaps he never truly ca..."
Catherine imdiately entered a state of calculation.
And Warner Son, who had been contemplating the situation earlier, finally made a decision and approached Ronald and Catherine.
The elderly man glanced at the original to in Ronald's hand.
Then imdiately withdrew his gaze, refraining from ntion.
"Lord Ronald, I might be able to help with the teleportation spell issue."
"According to you, the opposing party has already prepared for teleportation a day ago. I can attempt to trace this track and forcefully connect, sending you over right now."
This was a unique ability of Warner Son's, unknown to other casters. Only as the leading researcher in teleportation spells did he understand the operation theoretically.
Of course, this technique was laden with issues, only recently entering experintal stages.
Once Warner Son finished speaking, he imdiately issued a warning:
"However, using this thod will significantly increase the spatial pressure during teleportation, which poses considerable danger to people."
The aged caster clearly outlined the pros and cons, essentially hoping Ronald would ponder carefully and act safely.
But with ti being of the essence, Ronald didn't actually have much room for choice. This perilous venture was imperative.
So Ronald didn't say much more.
Instead, he displayed the Cthulhu Mythos to in his hand, probing Warner Son:
"Teleportation is imperative, that much won't change."
"But Mr. Warner Son, I now have an important question: do you know the origin of these tos?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they should co from a ruin that was previously spatially connected with Harmon due to the world's anomaly." Warner Son spoke plainly, without concealnt, "But now the world's been restored, and that place probably can't even pass for a ruin."
"What the heck is this!" Suddenly, Catherine shouted.
Turning to look, Ronald and Warner Son found the Astrology Tower Master had just finished her prediction, and her expression mirrored Ronald's from earlier.
"Ronald, I've never heard of such original texts in Barrier Mountain. Is the creator of this thing planning to destroy the world?"
Actually, you have seen it...
Ronald wanted to remind her but held back.
Because during the Infinite Negative Domain, Bapulor's spells had a lot in common with the Cthulhu Mythos.
Nonetheless, this thought made Ronald recall his encounters in Entrod.
The deceased spy leader and that "Silver Key" had long told him about the Cthulhu Mythos to's capabilities in this world. If another encounter occurred, it would be an inevitable event given his rich experiences.
With this in mind, Ronald told Catherine:
"Anyway, you should now understand the reason behind my previous attitude?"
Catherine nodded seriously:
"Of course! If I didn't understand the gravity of the situation after the prediction, I might as well retire now. Ronald, I suggest you carefully guard these original texts; under no circumstances should they fall into others' hands."
Inferring Catherine's underlying ssage, Ronald couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Did you predict the developnts of the subsequent events?"
Catherine admitted:
"That's right, these things, even if destroyed, will soon erge in other parts of the world. The best way to delay their convergence is for Adler, or that fairy tale sealer, to preserve them."
Ronald noted Catherine's wording:
"You an, in your prediction, this matter can only be postponed?"
Catherine nodded again:
"Convergence is inevitable; all we can do is ensure that day arrives as late as possible."
"…"
Seeing the two of them imrsed in discussion, exchanging veiled ssages,
Warner Son, standing nearby, dared not eavesdrop any longer and interrupted:
"When are you two planning to set out?"
