Mystic Dominator

In mid-July, news spread in the city that a cult warlock had appeared.

However, when the time came to the second half of the year, the impact had died down under the control of Springs' public opinion, and the city returned to its normal rhythm in a blink of an eye.

Facing the persuasion of two people with diametrically opposite positions, Ronald went to the church to speak after some consideration, expressing his desire to get the sword of St. Caterina in a more subtle way. mean.

The attitude of the church...

Can't say it was unexpected.

It can only be said that facing Ronald, they were as generous as ever.

It was obviously a legacy of a saint of great importance, but within three days after Ronald spoke, the sword wrapped in black cloth was delivered to him, and the return time was not mentioned in the words.

Isn't that what you mean by taking it with you?

However, unlike the absolute friendliness of the church, the Springs official side is somewhat subtle. Although Ronald and Queen Danterian met that night, and even got some advice from the other party.

But since that day, nothing has changed around Ronald.

Elaine, who stayed in the office to 'protect' herself every day, was still working as usual, and there were no additional investigators near the mansion, and there were no other possible changes.

This 'do nothing' attitude.

It is also the situation that Ronald feels the most difficult to handle.

In this kind of entanglement, the time came to the days close to August.

Ronald half-squatted in front of his desk and flipped through today's newspaper, with the busy streets of Baixing District outside the window behind him. Although he himself didn't care about the impact of the weather, the smell of the city after summer really didn't make him like it.

At this moment, Heloise moved closer and also lay down on the table.

Then the gaze intertwined with Ronald's dull gaze:

"Ronald, I heard that there is a new store opening in the business district tonight, shall we go and have a look?"

Ronald nodded in agreement,

Then he opened his mouth and asked:

"What store are you talking about?"

While playing with her hair with her fingers, Heloise explained to Ronald: "It's a shop called Dantès Gift Shop, which specializes in selling rare things brought back from overseas colonies. I'm quite interested. .”

Hearing the name of this shop, Elaine, who was still processing documents, looked up.

Witnessed two adults lying on the desk like salted fish.

The investigator girl shook her head slightly, and then said:

"The Dantès gift shop should be opened by an old gentleman who retired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is also one of the insiders on the mysterious side. You won't get anything interesting there."

"..."

"Tsk..."

Because the two faces were very close to each other, Ronald clearly saw Heloise's expression collapsed, and then the corners of her lips curled.

Still lying on the desk, the former Miss Spy spoke:

"Eileen, I really just want to go and have a look. Don't be delusional. A countryman like me who has left the mountain village and has never seen the world will always be curious when he encounters such a new thing."

Elaine showed a completely disbelieving expression, then picked up another stack of documents and started to process: "Then I wish you a pleasant shopping, Miss Phyllis."

Face Elaine's reaction.

Heloise was still lying on the table, then shrugged at Ronald.

"That's it..."

The afternoon is spent in a boring daze and hard work.

The three of them left the office of [Ginkgo Leaf Business Alliance] in Baixing District after dinner, and then walked towards the business district next door.

In fact, as these days passed, Ronald and Elaine also reached a certain level of tacit agreement.

The way they get along is basically Ronald and Heloise going ahead and doing what they're going to do. And Elaine kept a distance from the two of them behind, observing and recording without affecting both parties.

Although they didn't take a carriage, the speed of the three of them was definitely not slow.

Soon, they came to the business district and found the Dantès gift shop that Heloise had mentioned.

As far as first impressions are concerned, this shop is definitely a grand one.

Not to mention that it is located in a popular area of ​​the business district, the decoration design of the shop itself is also designed with painstaking efforts, and the guests who come here to join the crowd on the first day of opening are all upper-class people.

In such an environment.

Ronald is not dissatisfied today.

There was no prom environment to attract attention, and he and Heloise tried not to dress themselves too outstandingly. In this case, the opening gift shop is basically unnoticed except for the waiters.

He and Heloise strolled through the shop together.

There is nothing wrong with saying that it is an opportunity to experience a leisurely life.

The gift shop has a wide variety of products, and the identity of the owner is guaranteed, so the number of counterfeit products is quite rare. In this kind of shopping experience that everyone loves, Heloise's eyes are constantly attracted by interesting products.

"Ronald, look at this! This is the loot that the Grid army fought with the local natives in the big fir forest before they had a chance to capture it!"

Hearing this long series of introductions, Ronald immediately raised his eyebrows:

"You mean, the gift shop still has army trophies?"

"It's just an ordinary handling of spoils." Heloise immediately shook her head in denial, and then explained to Ronald, "It's impossible for the army itself to turn it into wealth for something like this."

"Indigenous musical instruments, fresh animals and plants, and 'medals' that can show the identity of the winners, etc., they are basically packaged, processed at a low price to specific people, and then received Those who buy the goods will use their abilities to turn them into money."

Hearing this, Ronald became interested:

"Listen to what you mean... this kind of industry is still quite mature?"

"It's not just Grid. In fact, most countries do this. It's just that Grid has the most overseas colonies, so the profits from it are also the largest." Heloise admitted, and at the same time pointed with a happy expression. Pointing to the wind instrument of the native in his hand, "Ronald, buy this for me, and I'll play it for you when I get back!"

Ronald nodded without hesitation and said:

"No problem at all!"

Just as the two were talking and laughing, a man with an unattractive appearance who was also visiting the store passed by them.

The two sides passed by, no different from the countless figures intertwined in the gift shop.

But there are still some differences in details.

At this moment when they passed each other, the man showed a very gentlemanly smile, and then said in a voice that only each other can hear:

"Mr. Ronald, I am going to have an appointment tonight."

"Let's see each other soon."
