Tracking Ogel within the Secret Tree City of Aogen.
Ronald now felt an unparalleled ease.
Looking at the target—Fury’s power was locked onto the other, no need to worry about losing sight of the target.
Looking around him—emotional perception, changing appearance, and superior physical quality, all these combined made infiltrating a city a breeze.
Ronald even felt as if he was leisurely strolling.
Just as he might after dinner, walking the streets around his residence to aid digestion.
"..."
"Let’s try this."
Enjoying such an unprecedentedly relaxed tracking task,
Ronald suddenly took interest, and activated the Greed Chapter from "Purgatory," directly locking onto Ogel ahead.
—Human.
—34 years old.
—Poor liver condition.
—Magic Power very active, maintaining a life of casting spells long-term.
The Spell took effect silently, and Ronald instantly learned quite a bit of information about Ogel.
The ability of Greed was quite intriguing.
Given the distance between Ronald and Ogel wasn’t far, the spell continued to relay the other’s status, even allowing him to monitor his target’s heart rate at any ti.
Such a spell...
Not to ntion what effect it might have in battle.
Even in certain special circumstances, it would definitely yield surprising results.
"..."
Silently experiencing his new spell,
Ronald followed Ogel deeper into the tree city.
This Aogen caster had a clear objective, moving straight to the core area of the entire tree city after leaving the eting room.
It was here that Ronald encountered so problems.
As the most important central structure of all Aogen at the present, to provide a sufficiently safe environnt for the leaders of the faction, every corner was surrounded by trees enhanced with Magic Power.
And the only entrance that allowed passage,
Was now guarded by several serious-looking casters at the doorway.
For Ronald to enter as easily as he had wandered through the city earlier was nearly impossible.
"Guard..."
Ronald muttered to himself, though his actual actions were much simpler.
Not easy—just ant a bit more effort was needed.
Earlier, he had controlled the gatekeeper of the eting room with a word of power; now, for the guards at the core building, he would utilize the Dominance ability from the Sin of Pride.
"You lot, act like you didn’t see co in!"
"..."
The guards at the entrance instantly fell into a stupor.
Ronald’s strength had far surpassed the ordinary too much, these casters who hadn’t even mastered the original texts stood no chance of resistance in front of him, all subdued by the power of the spell in an instant.
Next, Ronald picked out a guard whose appearance he found agreeable,
Changed his own appearance, then continued to swagger into the building.
As the central building of the Secret of Aogen, the number of casters moving about here was actually very few, Ronald followed them without the worry of hiding.
Just hanging at a distance behind.
Ronald watched every move Ogel made.
This caster was highly efficient in his duties.
After entering the building, he first reported to the faction leaders of Aogen, then in less than ten minutes, had notified all the heads within the building of the eting.
By the ti this significantly important eting convened, only a quarter hour had just passed.
Throughout the entire process,
the one thing Ogel did not anticipate
was that the guard responsible for watching over the eting room door had, in fact, unknowingly been replaced by Ronald Adler, who had altered his appearance.
And for Ronald,
he now found himself in an excellent eavesdropping position.
With his superhuman hearing, the conference happening just beyond a single door sounded as if it were taking place right before him.
"..."
"Ogel, are you sure your information is accurate?"
"My lord, I rushed here imdiately after receiving the ssage from Mr. Ronald Adler, without any opportunity for verification."
"Hmm... well done."
"Then I’d like to make it clear to everyone here that this is a discussion of the highest level of secrecy for our school. Stop all those eavesdropping spells on you; this eting will not be recorded anywhere."
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
With that simple and direct pre-eting announcent, the true content of the eting was about to comnce, once everyone had entered a state of confidentiality:
"The situation is quite special, so I’ll get straight to the point."
"According to the latest information on our side, the to that is causing the anomaly in the forest is now located within our camp."
"What?!"
"My lord, you must be joking?"
"..."
The noisy voices persisted for over ten seconds before gradually subsiding.
At this ti, an elderly voice rose within the eting room:
"Dave, since you are saying that the to is here, I presu it is currently in soone’s possession? We have monitored the situation during the anomaly, and if it were an untethered to gone rogue, it could not have escaped my notice. Soone must have brought it into the camp with them."
"Soone carrying the to has infiltrated our camp?"
"Could it be that the true purpose behind this forest anomaly was to target our Secret of Aogen?"
"Perhaps his goal is our to?"
"The Book of Aogen is one of the most powerful known tos of runes; it’s certainly sothing that would drive people to great risks!"
"We won’t be part of any battle! To establish this camp, our oldest treant has already rged with the trees, and the Summoners can’t handle any more!"
The eting room beca increasingly chaotic.
At that mont, the person organizing the eting spoke up loudly:
"Enough!"
"Don’t throw ourselves into disarray!"
"The person carrying the to is just a young man, and he might not even be aware of the significance of what he holds. I have convened you all to discuss how we should deal with him now."
"..."
The eting room fell silent for several seconds before soone else spoke:
"Heh, such a young man possessing such a dangerous to will only cause harm to himself and others. The Secret of Aogen, as an old faction operating in Yoiz, should take initiative in handling such dangers."
"We, the Summoners, are willing to take on this danger!"
"You are now severely weakened in strength; how can you insist upon such difficulty? It should still be us who..."
"Our Guard Departnt is the one that needs... that should undertake this responsibility!"
The eting room plunged into argunt once again.
This debate lasted a significantly long ti before the eting’s leader spoke up again:
"Ladies and gentlen, we will certainly have to keep a close watch on this to."
"But, before that, what do you plan to do about Ronald Adler, who provided the information?"
An unhesitant response imdiately followed:
"Him? Who does he think he is?"
"Kick him out!"
