Chapter 303: Chapter 302 [Jin Xing Tian]

```

"..."

Looking at the changes in the ship cabin, Ronald couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

But just as he was about to do something, the mark of "Divine Comedy - Paradise" on his right hand flickered.

The power of the original text emerged within his body, also reminding Ronald that the environment he was currently in met the requirements of the third trial among the nine trials.

Namely, the requirements of the "Venus Trial."

The timing couldn’t be more perfect...

With mixed feelings, Ronald naturally chose to activate this trial.

The next second—

The recitation of a poem by a gentle female voice resonated within his heart, as sacred and beautiful as the previous two times:

"O Light Spirit, should I be able to make the reason clear to thee, the answers behind thou will shine brightly into thy eyes.

Thou art now ascending a realm, all of which good providence revolves and spirals into stairs;

Goodness transforms its fated power, and such will is contained within the grand celestial bodies.

Not only is physical nature properly arranged within the self-beautiful and self-good soul, but also the glory of all things and their destiny receive reflections accordingly."

As the voice gradually dissipated, Ronald also understood the requirements of the "Venus Trial."

—Bind the actions of men, establish the authority of leadership.

Therefore, combining with the environment he was in now, this was about Ronald having to subdue this group of mysterious Casters.

Ronald subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

This was going to be a bit troublesome.

For him, there were three things to handle at the moment.

First, he could not let the civilians in the vicinity become aware of the matters of the mystical side, as this person was filled with fear, and it was unlikely to be simply settled with the power of "Fury";

Second, it was how to suppress the mystical side personnel in the vicinity.

These people had managed to chase all the way here, even committing murder and driving away civilians, so simple ’persuasion’ would definitely not work;

Lastly, the third point, to fulfill his promise and help Thor obtain the original text from the girl.

Wanting to achieve all three objectives at once.

How should he proceed...

However, just as Ronald was pondering this, something unexpected happened.

The girl who had been cornered, the one carrying the original text,

Actually bolted towards Ronald suddenly!

This sudden change left most people in the vicinity unable to react.

Only Thor, standing beside Ronald, narrowed his eyes.

As the girl charged over, she flipped over with incredible speed, pressed herself against the girl, and then used the girl’s momentum to throw her down to the ground.

Clang—

The next second, a silvery-white blade was drawn from within the pants, and the cold gleaming edge pressed directly against the girl’s neck.

Without a doubt.

If the girl dared to struggle violently under such circumstances, the sharp blade would surely slice through her throat in an instant.

And after pinning the opponent completely beneath her, ensuring absolute control,

Only then did Thor speak with a teasing tone:

"Miss, you can’t get so excited seeing a handsome man."

"At least pay attention to your surroundings."

However, to Thor’s tease, the girl showed no intention of responding.

Her gaze fixated on Ronald, she said in an agitated tone:

"Sir... Sir, I remember you!"

"You saw my performance, do you still remember?"

"I am the performer from the Oak Theater!"

...

Hearing this, Ronald’s memories were instantly triggered by the girl’s words.

During his time in Springs, he had seen a total of three performances.

One each of "Saldak" and "Number 37," and another where he had been spontaneously pulled into a small theater for a show.

And now, the girl who was so eager to ’recognize’ him

She was indeed the actress from the small theater who played Mosie, with a rather good singing voice.

And then, everything became clear.

No wonder Thor understood so much about this.

And why he kept making small actions while talking to Ronald tonight.

To have an original text holder appear in the small theater attached to Aleyda’s main performance venue, he must have been feeling incredibly complicated.

Had the investigative bureau not discovered it, but she realised it herself,

then acquiring this original text would have been an unseen and unsuspected process, avoiding all the trouble they faced today.

Ronald couldn’t help but sigh,

"Ah—"

From the day he accepted Aleyda’s invitation, all the encounters up to tonight subtly interconnected.

So there was a reason for everything after all.

As for what Ronald still didn’t understand, it was why that girl had run over to his side so decisively.

She had been chasing him after all.

It didn’t make sense for her to show such an attitude just because he saw a performance, did it?

"..."

But then, the girl pinned down by Thor took the initiative to speak up,

"Sir, I know you are a major figure with the original... the book owner!"

"So please trust me, what I have is completely undecipherable."

"They’re just a bunch of greedy individuals, losing their minds!"

"..."

And just as Ronald and the girl were making eye contact, the situation inside changed again.

Not for any other reason, but because they saw Thor making a move.

These mysterious practitioners all turned their attention to the dagger in Thor’s hand, engraved with a cedar pattern.

Then, a Caster couldn’t hold back and exclaimed:

"It’s the Dream Blade!"

"You... you’re Azure Spots!"

"..."

Ronald had only a basic understanding of the identity ’Thor’ from what the others had said.

But to these Casters active in Springs,

the situation was different.

Known as ’Azure Spots,’ the thief never spared his enemies from the mysterious side; those opposed to him were often brutally killed.

Such a person appearing alongside an original text holder,

does it mean that the Casters present are the next targets he plans to slaughter?

Thus, the atmosphere inside shifted immediately from caution to hostility.

Feeling the emotions in these people’s hearts, Ronald had no doubt about this.

If he made any excessive moves now, these people would surely attack at once!

Bang—

Yet at that moment, Thor suddenly made his move.

The girl holding the original text was already pinned under him and was knocked out without much resistance.

Then, he rapidly searched her body and found a package.

Thor gave Ronald a beautifully sweet smile:

"Sorry, seems like my identity’s caused some trouble."

"You don’t mind if I take off first, do you?"

"..."

Ronald nodded, whispering a warning,

"Be careful, don’t go through the dock."

"..."

He made such a warning,

Not just because of the tense atmosphere in the dining ship.

But also because Ronald noticed that the investigator from the pursuit team had already boarded the White Rose and was now hurrying over here!
