Chapter 354 - 353 Letter

Chapter 354: Chapter 353 Letter

The observation records of "astral bodies" are quite complex.

Besides Ronald, who is the main focus of the observations and accounts for nearly one-fifth of the intelligence collected, many other events taking place in Springs are also recorded.

Among them, Ronald’s experiences during the "witch turmoil," as well as the "Dawn Spell Society’s canonical crisis," are all noted.

Upon looking through the entries carefully,

Ronald couldn’t help but mutter softly,

"It’s really collected quite detailed..."

"Hmm?"

Just as he was about to continue browsing through this observation record, Ronald sensed hurried footsteps approaching the edge of the detection range of the "Fury" power.

He paid close attention to the emotional fluctuations of the two people at this time.

As expected, both were in an excited mood, eager to verify something!

—Were they investigators from the investigation bureau?

—Or were they from the "Nine Commandments secret society"?

"..."

Pondering the current situation in his mind, Ronald took two steps to reach the hidden compartment found by the black fog.

In fact, regardless of the identities of the two approaching people, Ronald didn’t want to engage in combat at this time and draw attention.

So he decided to be straightforward.

It would be best to leave with his spoils of war.

The people detected by the "Fury" power were still at a distance, and Ronald was confident he could disappear from here without them noticing.

Snap—

A snap of his fingers sounded lightly.

Ronald punched the wall in front of him.

Amidst the white light of "Guardian Angel" rising and fending off the hidden compartment’s spell attack, Ronald successfully smashed open a crate embedded in the wall and then broke the second hidden compartment in the same manner, taking its contents with him as he jumped out the window and back the way he came.

Leaving Clary Street where the "astral body" dwelling was located.

Ronald first took a few laps around the Riverside district before heading towards the apartment he rented.

At this time, using the conspicuous Icarus Wings was obviously not an option.

As for other means of mobility...

The newly-acquired "Astronomy Master" endowed Ronald with quite impressive movement capabilities.

Unfortunately, this original work, similar to the "Divine Comedy," had very distinct spell conditions that needed to be met before casting its spells, namely providing the appropriate casting medium.

—Meteorites.

Although it did not require the size of the meteorite, nor did it demand any trials to be passed,

Every spell in the "Astronomy Master" demanded a meteorite as a medium to exercise the right to use the spell.

And this medium could not be reused.

For instance, if the first spell was activated with an iron meteorite, then the second spell could only be unlocked with another type of meteorite, such as a stony meteorite.

If Ronald were still on Earth,

The common meteorite could be easily acquired through the all-purpose online shopping, unlocking a significant number of spells in one go.

Unfortunately, this is a parallel world.

Although the civilization on this planet has already gained a basic understanding of astronomy, conveniently and quickly obtaining a "star" might still be rather difficult.

At present, the most probable place to find meteorites seemed to be in the Riverside district where Ronald resided.

In more renowned university laboratories,

He might have the chance to obtain meteorites needed to unlock spells.

Pondering all this on the way, by the time Ronald approached the vicinity of his apartment, the eastern sky of Springs was also beginning to brighten.

Buying breakfast on the side of the road, Ronald finally returned.

"Mr. Ronald, are you only just coming back now?"

Just as he entered, the old apartment guard, who had been up all night, saw Ronald and waved a greeting to the resident,

"I’m about to finish my shift, is there anything I can help with?"

Ronald flashed a smile at the old man.

Waving the breakfast he was carrying, he headed straight for the staircase,

"I just went out to buy some breakfast."

"There’s no need for any trouble."

"..."

After bidding farewell to the sheepish old guard, Ronald locked his room door once back inside.

While taking out his breakfast for today, he laid all the items he had collected on the office desk.

——The observation records he had already glanced through.

——A not-too-thick stack of letters.

——A collection of files organized into a volume, resembling research reports.

It was time to read carefully.

Alone at home without any disturbances, Ronald read the materials in front of him at his preferred pace.

The first thing was the observation records.

These records, personally collected by "Starbody," contained a lot of information that was usually hard to come by.

For example, the "White Bird Commercial Alliance."

This was a trade association Ronald had become acquainted with back in Greenwich.

Though it also had considerable industries in Springs, the three organizations behind this trade association, namely the "Twelve Witches" and the "Dawn Spell Society," were systematically withdrawing their casters stationed in this city.

Only the "Rose Secret Garden," which was responsible for the operation of the shops,

Still maintained a stable staff presence.

Beyond this, a great many secret organizations had begun sending people to Springs one after another.

Some came to attend the grand "Harvest Day Festival" the Queen was preparing for this year, while others harbored ulterior motives, seemingly planning to obtain some sort of benefit from an imminent massive change.

But regardless,

As the ruler of the nation and the absolute powerful holder of mysterious side tomes,

Queen Dantlian of Gred would make some kind of change at this year’s "Harvest Day Festival," and it would be a massive transformation that would simultaneously affect both the mysterious side and the ordinary world!

Even the increased activity of the "Nine Rings Conclave" in this country

Was largely for this reason.

"A massive change..."

Peer at the sense of crisis revealed within the letters and lines of the records.

Ronald listed various possibilities in his mind, setting aside the observation records and then drawing out the neatly stacked letters beside him.

There were only five letters hidden in the secret compartment.

And from their addresses, they were all sent to Springs from different places, including one piece of overseas correspondence.

Considering "Starbody’s" emphasis on these letters,

They were probably orders from the "Nine Rings Conclave" or something similar.

Thus, Ronald opened the first letter.

"My dear Sanchez:

It has been a year since we last met.

Our child is growing up very healthily and has learned to call ’Dad’. I really wish you could come back and see our adorable Lila. Of course, you don’t need to worry about our lives, with the salary you continuously send back, the life of us mother and daughter is considered quite affluent in the city.

..."

This is a family letter...

It was somewhat different from what Ronald had expected.

Placed at the very top of the stack was actually a family letter received by "Starbody," or rather, Sanchez.

Storing the letter from family in a spell-protected secret compartment

Was also a common human sentiment.

Slightly sighing, Ronald took the second letter and continued to open it.

"Ah——"

"Let’s move on to the next one..."
