Chapter 367: Chapter 366 New Identity

Heloise didn’t take too long.

Just over two minutes later, Ronald’s bedroom door swung open from the inside.

——What a beautiful girl.

The first glimpse of Heloise’s new look sparked such a sentiment in Ronald’s heart.

Though not quite as lovely as the songstress, Aleda.

But Heloise’s current appearance was indeed one that would deeply imprint itself in anyone’s mind.

She was a very beautiful young girl, wearing a white-dominated coat that revealed the slim curves of her body, her fair and delicate skin highlighting a clean and soft face, and her steel blue eyes brimming with anticipation for the future.

As a result, an energetic aura enveloped her.

This was the feeling of someone filled with hope for life.

Stepping out of the bedroom in two strides, Heloise looked at Ronald, who seemed somewhat surprised, and a gentle smile like a spring breeze graced her lips.

Then she began to speak in a clear, masculine voice:

"Mr. Ronald, how do you feel?"

"Good, pretty good..."

"Hm?"

Ronald had just begun to reply when he noticed something odd.

Why...

Was it a clear male voice?

Such an appearance, shouldn’t it belong to a girl!

In the moment Ronald was stunned, Heloise had already stepped lightly out of the room and begun twirling in place, showing off her new look.

Seeing her friend’s dumbfounded expression, Heloise laughed and said:

"It’s not that hard to understand, right?"

"Since we’re dealing with that countess who likes boys, isn’t a disguise like this most suitable?"

"..."

Faced with the striking reality, Ronald had a tendency to give up on thinking.

Therefore, Heloise’s words immediately plunged him into utter silence.

Looking at Ronald’s expression now, Heloise continued with a smile:

"Let me introduce myself—"

"I am Tilo Hammer, a spell caster from a small town by the edge of Yizi Forest, specializing in song-based spells."

Ronald noticed a word:

"By the edge of Yizi Forest?"

"You mean..."

Heloise readily admitted:

"Yes, that’s right, from a small town by the edge of Yizi Forest."

"To put it more precisely, I am a young man who admires you, noble Ronald, and out of that admiration, I ran away from Yizi in hopes of serving you."

"..."

Ronald did not instinctively refute this self-introduction, which sounded very fake to him.

On the contrary, after careful consideration, he became convinced that this identity was perfectly suited for Heloise to use.

Not only because of the reason for coming to Springs out of admiration for Ronald, but in that remote place, where not even the Bureau of Investigation had staff stationed, and it was only the church by its duty that sent people to manage the little chapel, fabricating such an identity would make even verification extremely difficult.

And if Ronald were to vouch for her...

Heloise could pretty much secure this identity without doubt.

Logically, this was a reasonable analysis.

Having thought it through, Ronald naturally accepted Heloise’s choice.

However, out of curiosity, he still asked:

"You... Tilo, since you say you specialize in song-based spells, you must really have some skill, right?"

At the mention of this topic, Heloise’s expression immediately softened.

She walked up to Ronald and said in a gentle tone:

"For this, I have to thank you for your help."

"Do you remember the original text you helped me get that night?"

```

"..."

That inexplicable night, Ronald certainly wouldn’t forget.

But hearing such news, he also knew what Heloise’s words meant.

He looked at the girl... or rather, the boy, with somewhat surprised eyes, and asked in a cautious tone,

"If I haven’t misunderstood."

"You studied the spell from that original text?"

Heloise smiled and nodded:

"That’s right."

"..."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell into silence.

Ronald was very clear on one point: the ability to quickly decipher original texts was a unique skill of his as a transmigrator. Apart from himself, even an organization like the "Scroll Research Society" had to honestly crack the content of the original texts.

Even the "Nine Commandments", who possessed the so-called "Book of Interpretation", had strict time limits for deciphering.

So what about Heloise?

Faced with a brand new original text without any school’s seal of approval.

She was not a transmigrator like Ronald, nor did she spend a lot of time deciphering original texts like the "Scroll Research Society", nor did she have the "Book of Interpretation" held by the "Nine Commandments".

If so, wanting to learn and use the spells from the original texts in a short period of time.

There was only one answer.

——Original Text Trial.

"Why such a serious face?"

At that moment, Heloise came over and patted Ronald’s shoulder.

"It’s just an Original Text Trial. If you can pass it, why can’t I try?"

"Anyhow, I guess I succeeded in the trial."

"It’s certainly something to be happy about."

"..."

Ronald naturally understood Heloise’s attempt at consolation.

But from his perspective, things were probably completely different than they were for Heloise.

For Ronald, deciphering original texts was essentially like picking them up and reading.

Even if he entered an Original Text Trial, all the knowledge accumulated in the past could help him avoid traps to the greatest extent and successfully pass the trial to gain the right to use the spells.

The "Wings of Icarus" he currently possessed was a testament to this advantage.

But it was different for Heloise.

She had no connection... or rather, aside from the wilderness survival skills that Ronald had once taught her on the road, no connection at all with Earth’s culture.

Entering an Original Text Trial as a person from another world...

That was an adventure of what magnitude, with the two deaths in the "Scroll Research Society" as the best examples.

Even the elites who could join such an organization perished in the trials.

If, because of his assistance in obtaining the original text, Heloise ended up dying in the trial.

Even if Ronald wasn’t greatly to blame, it would still be difficult to bear psychologically.

After all, she was one of his few friends...

With a mix of feelings in his heart, Ronald forced a wry smile and shook his head:

"Heloise, we’re different."

"I think it’s better for you to consider your own safety."

"..."

And watching the expression on Ronald’s face, Heloise suddenly laughed:

"Ha ha——"

"Anyway, thank you for your concern."

"And remember, Ronald, call me Tilo when I’m in this identity."

In the midst of speaking, Heloise also stepped onto the balcony, leaned out to take a quick look around, and then flipped herself over the railing and jumped out.

Lastly, the voice of the girl, like a song carried by the breeze, entered the room.

"Ronald, the Countess will be in Springs within a week."

"Get ready, okay——"
