Mystic Dominator

Time to enter July.

The Springs where Ronald currently lives is about to enter the hottest time of the year. However, thanks to the location at a higher latitude, the summer here is not as unbearably hot as Ronald's hometown.

And during this time.

Ronald's life has also undergone earth-shaking changes from before.

The speed at which the mysterious side disseminates information is quite fast.

On the day they returned to Springs, word of Ronald's great achievements on overseas islands spread from the city, and all kinds of negotiation activities and interpersonal entertainment were entangled with Ronald almost all day long.

Even the Investigation Bureau, which had a high profile, withdrew the monitoring personnel who were in charge of Ronald the next day, and instead sent a young and beautiful girl investigator to him, and with the help of an official assistant Work under him in name.

Regarding this behavior of the Bureau of Investigation...

To be honest, Ronald couldn't come up with any good solutions.

Probably because the relationship between him and Heloise was too close, the Bureau of Investigation directly identified himself as a womanizer, so he took such specific measures to suit his liking.

But Ronald knew his own details.

Although "God's Hammer of Rain and Mist" is powerful beyond common sense, as long as it doesn't rain, it almost doesn't exist.

The real strength is not equal to the treatment they are receiving now, and sooner or later it will become a hidden danger.

Afterwards in Springs.

Ronald had to show a more cautious attitude than before in order to avoid the ensuing troubles.

By the way, the [Nine Precepts Secret Meeting], which has been disappearing for a long time, has recently become active again. They have been identified as a terrorist organization by Springs and are directly responsible for the cause of the typhoon.

In other words, this is a desperate effort to change the world by the caster who is trying to change the world pattern. The existence that was 'sent' back to the distorted space by Ronald that day was probably the god that the old mysterious side said in the records.

It can only be said that by chance and coincidence, Ronald once again destroyed the plan of the [Nine Precepts Secret Meeting].

Up to now, the contradiction between the two parties has been absolutely irreconcilable.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Ronald turned his head and looked at the sky in boredom.

After the typhoon ended, the city returned to its original appearance.

What does this incident look like to ordinary people who don't know?

"..."

"Ronald, do you want to go at Sir Phelps' invitation?"

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Heloise walked into the office with a greeting, placed an invitation letter with a gold border in front of Ronald, and spread the paper smoothly.

"This invitation letter is for this Sir to express his desire to get acquainted with the young heroes in Springs City, so I hope you can also attend this banquet held by him."

"Help me push it away." Ronald immediately shook his head in rejection.

"I've had enough socializing lately, let me take a good rest."

What Ronald said was from the bottom of his heart.

For a person like him who doesn't like crowds and socializing, this kind of social activities that appear in front of him one after another, except for the short-lived beauty during the meal, will only bring torture.

Even without participating, Ronald could guess what the scene would be.

Anyone who knows something about the mysterious side will immediately flock over to flatter him. Others who don't know the mysterious side will speculate on the situation by themselves when they see this posture, and then put on a fake smile to make a familiar face here.

A banquet that could have been very ordinary.

Soon under this change, it will be an event that has Ronald as the protagonist.

This is exactly the last thing he wants to encounter.

The few banquets and dances he's been to in the past have left him feeling distraught as he hides in a corner.

To be the protagonist every day...

That's okay?

The troubles caused by showing too much strength, sometimes it is really a headache, but it is not easy to deal with.

Now in the whole of Springs.

Except for the countess who had become a friend at the level of personal friendship, Ronald didn't want to accept some messy social invitations at all.

It's really out of character for him.

And at this moment, listening to the conversation between Ronald and Heloise.

Keeping smiling all the time, the girl investigator sitting in the corner of the office spoke:

"Mr. Ronald, this Sir Phelps is one of the representatives of the new nobles in Springs. He has quite good financial resources and strength. If you have enough time, I suggest you do some basic research with him. It’s better to have contact with others, at least don’t refuse for the first time.”

The person who spoke was naturally the girl sent by the investigation bureau.

— Elaine Crawford

As an investigator who can entrust the Bureau of Investigation with important tasks.

Elaine did not seduce Ronald in a very vulgar way, but did her job like a real assistant, only advising Ronald on some key issues.

He is relaxed and careful in speaking and doing things, and he will not overly inquire about secrets and is content with his duties. With such a cautious and appropriate work assistant, even Heloise had a hard time finding out what was wrong with her, so she could only passively accept the existence of this investigator.

Another kind reminder to Elaine right now.

Ronald heard the meaning of the other party, and had no choice but to put on a helpless expression:

"Okay, okay, I see. I'll go to this party."

In fact, the girl investigator's persuasion was very effective.

And it also captured the issues that Ronald was more concerned about.

Springs is a city where various forces converge and the competition for interests is extremely complicated.

Around Ronald, a powerful spellcaster who suddenly appeared in Springs, the old aristocratic forces and the new aristocratic forces are fighting openly and secretly. Come.

In such a storm of contention.

Ronald's original intention was to be a fence-sitter.

On the one hand, he now has a rich life, and he doesn't have to work hard for things of little significance.

On the other hand...

Neither the new aristocrats with abundant financial resources nor the old aristocrats with deep-rooted power were not the ones Ronald wanted to work for.

However, just a while ago, Ronald just received an invitation from an old nobleman to attend a banquet organized by them.

In Elaine's suggestion, it is also hinting that this is an opportunity for Ronald.

The man of the new aristocracy came out to invite him, so if Ronald was invited to the banquet, he would naturally be able to express his views at the banquet, so as to better maintain his neutral attitude.

In this way, this banquet is naturally not easy to shirk.
