"I swear that this guy will never be your enemy under any circumstances in the future."
After looking through the information provided by Fanny.
Ronald and Heloise closed their door as soon as they returned to their room, and imdiately, Ronald turned to the girl beside him with a sarcastic and wry smile:
"I seem to rember hearing that phrase sowhere before, if I’m not mistaken?"
"..."
Without any exaggerated descriptions.
As Ronald’s voice fell, Heloise’s face darkened in an instant.
"I...I did lock it up properly in the dungeon! If not for your beloved Queen Dantrian coming to destroy our base, Lumière would have never escaped!"
"..."
Ronald wearily waved his hand.
He was of course aware that it was an accident, and when he had handed Lumière over to Heloise, she could have never foreseen that their organization would be wiped out in a matter of months.
But now the problem was in front of them.
Even if the people from the "Twelve Witches" didn’t co knocking on their door today, knowing about this matter, they wouldn’t let Lumière off. Without sothing earth-shattering happening, their relationship was fixed in this state.
Thinking this, Ronald suddenly rembered sothing:
"Heloise, how did it go with those people I gave you before, they weren’t all locked up in the dungeon, were they?"
"I don’t do human experints, why would I lock them up?" Heloise rolled her eyes at Ronald’s question before she continued to explain, "Lumière was a special case, it was not safe to take her out so I locked her in the dungeon."
"People like the little maid, in principle, are sent to other cities for minor tasks."
"I see..."
Ronald nodded his understanding and then casually lay back in his chair.
"So now we must not only be on guard against the ’Nine Commandnts,’ but also find Lumière’s whereabouts in the city."
Following Ronald’s movent, Heloise sat down too and analyzed in a low voice:
"You saw it in the docunt just now, that guy has learned a brand new kind of spell from sowhere, and it’s not going to be easy to deal with."
"Do you have any ideas?" Ronald raised an eyebrow.
Given Heloise’s personality, she generally only showed such emotion when she felt that a plan was tough to execute. If she really hadn’t made up her mind, then she would be asking for his opinion now.
The next second, just as Ronald had guessed, Heloise indeed nodded:
"That’s right, I’ve found a direction to start."
"Lumière stole sothing from the ’Twelve Witches’ in another city and then deliberately returned to Springs. Its purpose is not to seek revenge on us but to gain sothing from this great upheaval due to its relationship with the ’Nine Commandnts.’"
Ronald nodded in agreent with Heloise’s idea.
"That’s correct."
"But I think it’s still better to be cautious, especially since we still don’t understand the origin of the new spell Lumière has mastered. Along with that guy’s ability to change appearance, this is definitely not a simple matter."
Hearing Ronald’s reminder, Heloise showed a confident smile and flipped over to straddle in front of him:
"Change appearance?"
"Ronald, I’m a professional in that area, just leave it to ."
"Next, you just focus on your job without giving yourself away, trust my professional skills."
"..."
————
The next morning, Ronald got up from bed early.
He instinctively reached beside him, only to find it empty.
"Where is she...?"
He was slightly stunned before Ronald realized that Heloise had already left early.
In the end, they had decided in the evening that it would be Heloise going out in the morning to do reconnaissance, trying to find Lumiel’s traces in the city, while Ronald would act as usual, using his regular routine to dull the suspicions of any possible spies.
After all, according to the habits of those from the mysterious side.
When facing a powerful owner of an original to, most attention would converge on the Caster himself, not on the beautiful apprentice girl by his side.
"Sigh..."
"No reading for today, I guess."
Shaking his head and sighing, Ronald got up from the bed, made a simple wash, sat at the table, finished the breakfast Heloise had prepared long ago, and put on his jacket to head outside.
His task this morning was very simple: spend money.
After getting a new piece of teorite from Fanny last night, Ronald naturally had to find a professional to craft a new item and obtain the latest original Spell.
His destination was simple, the sa shop that Heloise had introduced before.
By now, most of Ronald’s artifacts were crafted there; although the artisan wasn’t a miracle worker with top-tier techniques, his calm deanor and solid work habits made him an ideal collaborator.
Dressed properly, Ronald left the apartnt and took his ti walking along the Wis River.
He had actually gotten up quite late, and most students in the riverbank area were already in class, with few pedestrians on the road.
Walking leisurely for more than half an hour, Ronald arrived at a small street in the neighboring comrcial district.
It didn’t take him long to find his target here.
— The unimpressive facade of a herb shop.
— [Elon’s Cabin]
It was a busy ti in the comrcial district, and through the glass windows of the shop, one could see people discussing purchases with Elon inside.
Ronald put on a polite smile and pushed the door to enter the shop.
Upon hearing the noise at the entrance, the shop owner behind the counter looked up and imdiately recognized Ronald, who had visited his shop several tis.
"Ah... Mr. Ronald?"
"Please, continue your business, I’ll wait over here."
Hearing Ronald’s words, Elon turned back to focus on his custor.
Five to six minutes passed, and after discussing the details of a deal, Elon ca out from behind the counter.
"Mr. Ronald, what kind of commission do you have for today?"
"It’s about this brooch." Ronald unfastened a brooch from his chest and took out three new teorites from his pocket, "I hope to embed these three stones without changing its size or shape too much."
"..."
Elon silently took the items from Ronald’s hands.
Studying the brooch and teorites in front of him, Elon pondered for a few seconds before asking:
"Mr. Ronald, your brooch has precious tals; are you sure you want to cut so off?"
Ronald nodded in response:
"Just go ahead and do it, as long as you fulfill my request."
"..."
"I understand."
Seeing from Ronald’s eyes that he was not joking, Elon took the items and headed to the back of the shop. As a mber of the mysterious side, he was well aware of the man’s current status and ability.
Today’s business was going to be profitable.
