CHAPTER 617: CHAPTER 614 SIMPLE MEANING

Ronald didn’t know how familiar Patricia was with the border district.

But as soon as he had cast "Ben Lun" and "Jun Lun" and taken off with the two of them, Patricia immediately took over the command upon reaching the border district.

This block doesn’t need scrutinizing, that area needs close surveillance, is there a possibility of a Caster hiding over there...

Just one glance from the sky.

Patricia could tell in the next second whether an investigation was needed.

In just a few minutes, when they had crossed the Wis River and arrived over a residential area, Patricia spoke again:

"This area is mostly inhabited by immigrants."

"Ronald, take a look at the surroundings yourself."

"Okay—"

Ronald responded, and the range of Fury’s surveillance immediately expanded.

The conditions of the residential area below were instantly reflected in his mind.

Just as Patricia had said, this district meant for settling immigrants not only was located in a remote area, but also truly harbored many with ill intentions. Therefore, Springs, who was aware of this situation, had arranged for quite a few investigators here.

Among the many areas they passed tonight.

This place definitely ranked high in terms of security levels.

Realizing this, Ronald adjusted the range of his Spell for more precise operations and began identifying details about the residents.

—The situation was surprisingly good!

Perhaps due to the diligent work of the investigative bureau.

Most people were at the level where they had the intent to steal, but not the guts.

These immigrants from beyond Springs, and even outside of Germany, were all ’enjoying’ the cheerful festive atmosphere in their actions.

Seeing this.

Ronald felt it was about time.

After all, with the kind of management from the investigative bureau, the "Nine Commandments Meeting" had no reason to...

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Ronald, who was flying, stalled in the air.

Patricia, who was still staring at the nearby district analyzing possible hideouts, was also abruptly stopped mid-air by this.

Then, the girl turned her head to look at Ronald:

"Ronald, did you find a problem?"

Ronald’s expression was complex:

"It’s more than finding a problem... we should say, we’ve come at just the right time."

Near the northern part of the border district, between this residential area and a railway under construction, there were a few rows of low-tier rental lodgings.

And in a few of those rooms.

A full six original holders were all on edge in the second-floor living room, teeming with a destructive urge!

Continuing to sharpen his sense of these few individuals.

Ronald could even discern that one of the leaders was instructing the others, clearly having just received unexpected news and thus preparing to change plans.

—Isn’t this perfectly aligning with the current situation!

At this moment.

A mix of relief and bitterness swirled in Ronald’s heart.

If his sensory ability had been slightly weaker.

Then he probably wouldn’t have detected these six original holders;

If he had been less decisive earlier and acted a bit later, these restless guys might have already moved;

Even if Patricia hadn’t led the way.

Ronald himself, coming over at a normal pace, might have ended up searching an empty building alone.

But just as all these necessary conditions were met.

At the critical moment before the "Nine Commandments Meeting" people received the message and prepared to move, Ronald and Patricia had arrived!

At this point, they couldn’t care less about alarming the investigative bureau.

Ronald looked at the girl beside him and used just one brief reminder to tell her:

"They are right below, let’s go in!"

"Okay!"

The words of the two people hardly reached the ground when the flight direction of "The Astronomy Master" suddenly changed to downward.

After the recent death of a caster,

Ronald’s mindset had also changed.

If intelligence gathering couldn’t be relied on, then it was straightforward to ensure the annihilation of the enemy.

Thus, as the two plummeted like cannonballs, he simultaneously activated the spell "Supreme Angel."

Boom—

A powerful oppression instantly descended.

Ronald’s control over the spell was absolutely precise, with the neighboring houses remaining completely undamaged, only the dwelling of the six original tome holders caved in at that moment.

"Enemy attack!"

"This isn’t an investigator’s spell!"

Thud—

Almost simultaneously, a white defensive spell rose.

Ronald, who met it head-on, directly caused the spell to flicker.

In comparison to the casters at the factory earlier, the six people here were evidently a notch higher in standard.

Not only did they throw out defensive spells the moment they sensed the attack,

but also some among them instantly determined that the attacker wasn’t an investigator.

Swoosh—

In that instant, a breeze carrying magic power brushed past.

Ronald, blocked by the protective spell, turned his head to see that it was a signal sent from an investigator nearby.

The message was simple—’Cease casting, surrender!’

The next second, Patricia’s actions were even more straightforward.

She drew her sword from its sheath at a speed utterly invisible to ordinary casters, and a magic-laden sword aura flew into the air.

Immediately thereafter, the investigators approaching to enforce the law halted.

Because they recognized the significance of this act.

Only members of the powerful Nicholas family that serve in the military could produce such magic sword aura.

Its message was also simple—’The enemy is strong, ordinary casters keep away!’

Investigators understood how crucial it was not to add to their allies’ troubles.

So, while they halted their advance, a few clearly planned to hasten their spells and rushed towards the nearest investigator headquarters to report.

At such a moment, timing was perfect.

As the apartment’s roof, crushed into pieces by Ronald’s violent grasp, dispersed, the original tome holders below, through the white protective spell, saw the appearance of the two above.

"Nicholas, Ro... Ronald?"

"How is this possible!"

Ronald didn’t pay any heed to the thoughts of the others.

With all spells enhancing physical abilities activated, he began chanting the spell "Invisible Hand" while fiercely stomping downwards.

Crack—

A grating sound of shattering ensued.

Minute fissures spread on the defensive spell, then immediately repaired by the caster’s bolstered magic power.

Below, several casters aware of the scenario changed their expressions.

Though the defense hadn’t been breached, the question arose...

Was this a shell constructed of defensive spells

really something humans could shake just by sheer strength?

"Lar, keep up the defense!"

"Prepare the strongest attack spells, spare no effort..."

The leader among the six, without any hesitation, commanded the others, who responded in kind.

But at that very instant,

Ronald, who had prepared spells from the onset,

finished chanting overhead:

"Labor’s greatest improvements and the greater skill, dexterity, and judgment displayed in labor all seem to be outcomes of specialization..."
