Ronald and his party did not wait too long.
Or rather, those from the Sorato School who can survive in Yizi Forest today cannot possibly have slow reactions; otherwise, how could they escape from the various dangers posed by the animals and plants in the forest?
So, shortly after Costate announced their arrival with magic power.
In just over a quarter of an hour, several individuals whose attire gave no hint of being casters arrived at the location.
Ronald scrutinized the newcors carefully.
There were three individuals from the Sorato School who had co out to investigate the situation, composed of a team with two n and one woman, wearing intricately crafted woven shirts with dyes that served as camouflage.
...
In so sense.
This was indeed an attire quite suited for movent within the forest.
As Ronald sized up the others, the three from Sorato School were similarly observing the composition of Ronald’s party: Costate with her maid-style attire, Il with his ever-present smile, and Helle, who was not yet of age...
Excluding these three who obviously did not look like team leaders.
The leader among the three from Sorato School soon focused their attention on Ronald.
"Sir, was it you who triggered the spell we left behind?"
The other party inquired with a tone that was calm and serious, showing no overt friendliness or hostility.
Ronald responded,
"Yes, it was us who triggered the spell."
"We entered Yizi Forest from the direction of Grid and are currently looking for a way to deal with the situation in the forest."
"..."
The Sorato School mber paused before carefully asking,
"Are you... an investigator?"
As this question was raised,
The caster from Sorato School was actually feeling very conflicted.
Given the vast area of Yizi itself, although several countries have claid this forest at one ti or another, none could truly control this region.
And those coming from Grid like Ronald and company...
Leaving their national borders to perform such a thankless task would most likely be those respected Grid investigators.
But on the other hand,
According to the actual geographical location, this place was already quite far from the southern forest near Grid and was closer to the territory of Entrode.
Would an investigator really co all this way?
Seeing the confusion of the Sorato caster, Ronald imdiately clarified his identity:
"We are not staff from the investigation departnt."
"We have co into Yizi hoping to deal with the problems here."
"..."
Upon hearing such an explanation, the suspicion of Ronald in the eyes of the opposing caster increased greatly.
In the current chaotic world situation,
Were there really people who would go out of their way to ddle in other affairs?
"Sir, did you travel all the way from Grid to our location?"
Ronald nodded:
"We first found Banica, and after obtaining so information there, we continued on to find your position."
"That’s impossible!" Upon hearing Ronald’s reply, the caster from Sorato responded sowhat vehently, "The elders in our school have said—Banica is currently under the rule of a vast shadow."
"How could a normal person possibly leave there safely!"
"..."
Ronald imdiately turned to look at Il.
Under the watchful gaze of the smile of this mastermind behind Banica, Ronald sighed and turned back to continue explaining:
"You should be familiar with the surna Adler, shouldn’t you?"
"Adler..."
The caster from Sorato was indeed lost in thought.
As a legacy of an ancient school, and situated within the Yizi Forest,
it was natural that he had heard the na Adler before.
Ronald did not intend to let the other party continue to be perplexed, and after revealing his identity, he also released an appropriate amount of his magic fluctuation:
"As for strength, I do have so confidence on my side."
"..."
"How powerful."
"An original to holder?"
"Sothing like that."
Such a direct demonstration imdiately changed the other party’s attitude.
After a brief discussion in whispers, Sorato’s team leader imdiately sent soone back to the school to inform them of the situation, while he and another companion led Ronald and his two companions inside.
"Mr. Adler, Sorato welcos the visit of friends."
"Please follow ."
Ronald also returned a friendly smile:
"Ronald Adler, just call by my na."
"..."
With an insider from Sorato school leading the way, the process of going deeper into the forest beca simpler.
At least within the range covered by the barrier.
Ronald and the others did not encounter any species that were the slightest bit dangerous.
This place was entirely controlled by human casters and still belonged to a rather safe residential area.
After walking for several minutes,
the headquarters of Sorato school appeared in front of them.
The architecture here showed a highly unified style, almost exclusively constructed of cut or stacked stone.
The areas for normal living, trading activities, and casters dealing with affairs were clearly delineated—one could tell it was the result of long-term operation and ultimate refinent.
During the deeper exploration,
Ronald did not forget to observe the situation of the residents here.
The number of residents here was less than a thousand, with both faces of casters and ordinary people visible within the encampnt. However, the ordinary people mostly displayed an appearance of having survived a calamity and the minority of casters had tense expressions, clearly aware of the current dangerous situation in Yizi.
And during this process,
the caster who was leading the way noticed Ronald’s gaze and spoke up straightforwardly:
"Mr. Ronald, you might be puzzled by the situation here."
"In fact, about a week ago, when the world underwent a profound transformation, the fundantal rules of this world changed."
"Oh?" Ronald feigned uncertainty.
The guiding caster continued:
"According to what our elders have discovered, now in human settlents with populations over a hundred, even if the number of casters exceeds a certain threshold, ’the world’s tamorphosis’ will not occur, and the restrictions on the dissemination of spell knowledge have been completely broken."
"At our Sorato headquarters, the original permanent population was actually controlled to be under a hundred, all of whom were casters. It is just because of the large number of victims from Yizi Forest, and even the surrounding areas, that we took in these ordinary people for sanctuary out of moral obligation."
"So that’s the case... A comndable choice."
Ronald appreciated Sorato school’s actions, and the guide’s expression also showed pride in the conduct of his school.
But at the sa ti,
the thoughts in Ronald’s mind began to drift further away.
He recalled Catherine from the "Infinite Negative Domain."
The Sorato caster had already clarified that the gathering of a large number of casters or, to put it another way, the gathering of a large number of "seeds," would no longer trigger the kind of ’world’s tamorphosis’ as before.
And this point in ti,
perfectly coincides with the world’s transformation after the cosmic change!
Could it be that the tower master of the astronomy departnt’s true aim is related to this?
