Nicole’s sudden suggestion left Ronald and Swift engulfed in silence.
They both understood.
There was inherently nothing wrong with the idea Nicole had proposed at that mont.
In so sense, it could even be considered the most prudent and safest course of action under the current circumstances.
After all, for the three of them, the warden’s dungeon had been a blank in information for over seven months. Nobody could guarantee what the setup inside was like; at most, soone like Swift could make a rough guess.
Even if they were confident in their own abilities, it would be hard to guarantee that no danger would arise.
Suppose they encountered a difficult Caster on the other end.
This would imdiately beco their last hope.
Of course, things were not absolute.
Although Nicole’s proposal was relatively stable, there were indeed so problems with the plan itself.
The three understood this clearly.
But actually executing it was entirely different from theory.
Firstly, the two people entering the warden’s dungeon must face danger, almost one hundred percent in terms of combat.
Rushing blindly into the dungeon was no joking matter, as the guards inside the warden’s dungeon were serious.
Once an encounter occurred, a battle was inevitable.
Troubles would naturally follow one after another.
Combat was never child’s play; it was a tense situation where every action could lead to injury, or even death.
And at the sa ti...
Was the person staying outside any better off?
Of course, that was impossible!
Watching two comrades enter the warden’s dungeon and face danger while staying relatively safe outside oneself.
Anyone with a conscience would definitely not feel good about it.
Strictly speaking.
This was a proposal that tested human nature.
For a mont, the three people in the coffee shop fell into silence.
No one could make a decision imdiately.
"..."
After staring at each other silently for a few seconds,
Ronald decided to speak up.
As the one who had summoned the other two and also as the unofficial leader of the group, he could not hesitate further at this ti; he needed to actively take on the responsibility of guiding his comrades.
Looking at the investigator young woman in front of him, Ronald spoke in a very serious tone,
"Nicole, I think it’s better for the three of us to enter the warden’s dungeon together."
"From a purely combative aspect, only by acting together can we maximize our strength. In reality, the gap between two and three people in combat is just too significant."
"And suppose we do as you suggest, what if the two people just happen to et the enemy and could defeat them but are just a bit short of one assistant? What then?"
At this mont, Swift also nodded in agreent on the side.
"I also support Ronald’s idea."
"We three ca here together, and naturally, we should also act together. If we really encounter an irresistible danger due to this choice, I am willing to bear all the consequences that co with it."
"When I chose to join this, I had already considered all this."
"..."
Seeing that both of her companions had this attitude, Nicole’s eyes showed so emotion, but there was also so reluctance.
Then, she said earnestly,
"But if that’s the case, all three of us really together in..."
"Nicole, you might consider another approach." Just then, Ronald interrupted Nicole’s speech, "Ultimately, you still want to be safe and keep soone who can notify the investigation bureau about our situation in case of our failure."
Nicole nodded decisively,
"Although it’s a bit demoralizing to say this."
"I won’t deny it."
"Sneaking into the lair of multiple original dungeon masters, no matter how careful and cautious one is, it is only logical to leave soone capable of conveying information."
Ronald nodded,
"You’re indeed right, but we also can’t be too obsessed with leaving soone to convey information; the ans to achieve our goal are diverse, look outside."
Saying this, Ronald pointed outside the door, in the direction of the street outside the coffee shop.
Nicole followed his direction,
At the end of the direction Ronald pointed, a newsboy dressed child was inquiring around with passersby, simultaneously trying to sell his goods.
In the chilly winter of Greenwich.
The not-so-robust little boy was shivering slightly, obviously uncomfortable.
Just when Nicole noticed this scene,
Ronald continued to speak to her,
"You see, you just need to prepare a letter and a token in advance, give them to this boy, and have him help mail it."
"As far as I know, the post office should have a tid mailing service. Just set a ti in advance, and they will deliver the letter to the intended destination at the designated ti."
"At that ti, if we manage to co back alive, you can naturally go to the post office to retrieve it, and there won’t be any problems. However, if all three of us really do et our demise, this letter will be safely delivered to the investigation bureau."
"I believe you should have a way to make the people in the investigation bureau believe the reliability of this letter."
After Ronald made this suggestion, Nicole seed to suddenly realize sothing and hastily pulled out a small stamp from her side pocket, then imdiately asked her two companions in front of her,
"Do you have paper and pen?"
"I want to get this matter resolved now."
Seeing Nicole’s actions, Swift smiled.
For a professional detective, paper and pen were essential work items; he always carried them with him.
Thus, the detective took out paper and pen from his pocket and handed them to Nicole.
"Here, use these."
Nicole nodded and thanked him,
"Thank you, Swift."
Under the watchful eyes of the two n, Nicole imdiately spread out the notepad on the coffee shop table and began writing on her own.
Sitting at the sa table, Ronald and the others could clearly see Nicole writing a series of chaotic and irregular numbers on the paper.
Pausing to think while recalling the information as she wrote.
After just over a minute, Nicole appeared to have completed the short coded ssage.
Wrapping the stamp she had just taken out in this letter, Nicole made no superfluous movents and imdiately stood up from her seat.
"You two continue to enjoy your coffee here; I’ll go give this thing to that boy."
Ronald nodded to Nicole,
"Please do, we’ll wait for you here quietly."
After nodding to Ronald and Swift, Nicole decisively turned around and walked straight towards the exit of the coffee shop.
