"Eddie, I rember the ’Twelve Witches’ are supposed to only recruit female mbers, right?"
In the evening, Ronald was walking on the streets of Spring City.
Before his official duties for the night began, he had so things to attend to. Fortunately, the destination was not too far away, so as he walked, Ronald still had the leisure to chat with Eddie by his side.
Ronald spoke with a calm deanor, but Eddie was not nearly as composed.
To distribute the personnel most efficiently, Ronald and his team were heading to the south side of Spring City tonight, while Heloise and Witch Fanny were going to the eastern area.
It was his first ti working with such a powerful original text holder.
As a newcor to the mysterious side, Eddie naturally could not maintain a composed mindset.
When confronted with Ronald’s casual question, he pondered for a while before responding:
"This, this is a change that the school only recently made."
"I heard that the Grand Witches considered the rapidly changing social environnt, so they made this decision."
Ronald noticed Eddie’s nervousness and imdiately changed the topic:
"The Grand Witches, huh... Speaking of which, when Miss Theresa ca to Spring City, she said I was fully responsible for entertaining her. She really is a gentle and helpful elder."
Hearing Ronald ntion Fanny’s teacher and the friendly tone he used, Eddie, as Fanny’s student, visibly relaxed.
"Miss Theresa, she truly is a very kind elder."
"Not only is she profoundly knowledgeable, but she also frequently looks after us newcors. We all respect her a lot."
A few sentences brought the two of them closer, allowing Ronald to delve deeper:
"By the way, Eddie, since you are studying under Fanny, the spells you have mastered are also from Theresa’s system, right? The kind that has the ability to control air flows?"
Eddie nodded.
Considering that they were going to act together tonight and that he would undoubtedly be under Ronald’s care, he did not hide anything related to combat:
"Yes, that’s right."
"However, my talent is quite ordinary; with your level of combat ability, I might only be good for assisting or setting up Arrays."
"..."
After walking two streets, they were still in the riverside district.
Having understood Ronald’s character through their conversation, Eddie took the initiative to ask his first question:
"Mr. Ronald, the path we are taking now doesn’t seem to head northward. What is it that you ntioned?"
Upon hearing Eddie’s question, Ronald smiled slightly:
"We are going to visit a learned elder. Talking to him, we will definitely gain sothing."
Eddie nodded as if he understood:
"I see..."
The riverside district was practically Ronald’s old neighborhood, where he had cultivated a very high level of familiarity.
Even though Eddie was with him,
they walked into Wis University without any hindrance and headed straight for the library.
As night fell, most of the ’Scroll Research Society’ mbers were in the laboratory beneath the library, and there were hardly any people upstairs.
Leading Eddie further into the library, Ronald was headed to the sa place as last ti. The ’Scroll Research Society’s way of taking care of locals had not changed, so the awakened old Caster was still lying there.
Knock, knock, knock—
Politely, he knocked on the door three tis.
Ronald heard a faint sound from inside, picked up the flowers he had bought along the way, and then called out, "Mr. Xiang, how have you been lately?" before walking into the room.
The ’Scroll Research Society’s guarantee had no issues.
In terms of caring for people and treating injuries, the techniques here were absolutely professional.
Ronald had just entered the door when he saw the old man sitting on the hospital bed, preparing to get up. If he hadn’t known the reason for the other’s presence there, he could have mistaken him for having fully recovered.
On the other side, seeing Ronald co in,
the elderly man’s expression brightened.
"Mr. Ronald, it’s you who have co."
"Our experint had just begun previously. Afterwards when there is ti, we can... um, who is this young man?"
Upon seeing Eddie, the old Caster visibly tensed up.
Years of suppression by the mainstream mystical forces had conditioned him to react instantly upon seeing these individuals, an almost unavoidable issue.
Ronald quickly stepped in to explain:
"This is Eddie, a novice from a good friend’s school of thought. There won’t be any problems."
"Eddie, this gentleman is Mr. Nade, a highly skillful researcher of the mystical side."
Upon this introduction, they all involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, so that’s it."
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Eddie still maintained his silence.
It was Nade, already sitting up on the adjacent bed, who couldn’t help but speak to Ronald:
"Ronald, do you still have the data from our last experint?"
"At that ti, I was suddenly knocked out by Magic Power, so I completely missed the chance to make so detailed notes."
"I rembered everything," Ronald responded with a smile, confidence clear on his face. "Details of the Magic Power flow and the events of that day, I kept it all in mind."
"Also, once your injuries heal, I can accompany you in your experints anyti."
Hearing Ronald’s reply, Nade smiled too:
"If that’s the case, I could leave here now. Although the physical damage is still troubleso, I can manage my recovery slowly."
Ronald’s expression grew unusually serious:
"I wouldn’t recomnd that."
"Recently, the situation inside Spring City has been very complex. It’s not suitable for ordinary Casters to be active in the city, let alone so of the stronger individuals."
The old man continued to inquire:
"Not suitable to go out... Is there so special situation outside?"
Ronald nodded in an inford manner:
"Yes, and the cause is the sa culprit as the one from White Shore Castle."
"..."
Watching the elderly man on the bed, Ronald elaborated bit by bit about the circumstances in Spring City.
With the city in such chaos,
he truly hoped the old man would stay indoors. Should any unforeseen attack occur, regret would be of no use.
"..."
After more than an hour had passed, Ronald finished chatting with Nade and then said goodbye to the old man as he walked out of the library.
Walking on the path of Wis University, Eddie, who had been quiet all along, finally spoke:
"Mr. Ronald, the things you guys were discussing earlier were really complicated..."
"Just study hard and you’ll be fine in the future."
Ronald encouraged Eddie while calmly chanting a spell:
"Starting from the relationships between the entire earth and sky, we will begin constructing our perception..."
