Chapter 875 Little Rich Woman

"Hotel accommodation costs..."

After being reminded by Costart, Ronald immediately realized the problems he needed to face financially.

After returning from this trip to the North Pole, Ronald actually gained something in terms of money.

It's just that he is not a core member of the expedition team, so the money he gets is basically enough to meet daily expenses.

And now, where Ronald and Costart live.

That was the Entrod Secret Service, which selected the highest-end luxury hotel in the city for the two of them!

Unless they immediately return to Adler's ancestral home in Kurpis and take out a deposit.

Otherwise, we want to immediately solve the economic problems we are facing now...

Then I can only find a way to get some side jobs.

"Costat, maybe we can move out from here and live in a more ordinary place..."

"Wait?" Ronald was about to discuss with Costart about changing their accommodation. As a result, Nicole, who was standing next to her, suddenly raised her hand and intervened, "If it's just the accommodation fee, just leave this problem to me."

"ha?"

I heard the investigator girl’s suggestion.

Ronald suddenly turned his head and his eyes became a little complicated:

"Nicole, are you so rich?"

"Ronald, after all, I am also an elite investigator of the Bureau of Investigation!" Ronald's surprised look was very helpful to Nicole. The guy even sat on the sofa and puffed up his chest, and then continued with a proud look on his face. , "And the gerts I earn from the Ministry of Finance are much more valuable than the ordinary currency in rural areas like Entrod!"

"..."

Ronald was silent.

Nicole's attitude at this time is very confident, but she does have a reasonable reason.

After all, the country she plays for, Greed, is currently the unquestioned strongest economic country in the world, and its currency is naturally much more valuable than Entrod. In addition, Nicole's job itself has a good salary.

So pay for an Entrod luxury hotel,

It is indeed affordable for her.

"I didn't expect you to be a rich woman..."

Faced with Nicole's words that directly solved the economic problem, Ronald shook his head slightly, and then stood up from the chair on his own initiative:

"In that case, Nicole, please take me to see the scene first."

"I know you must have done a detailed investigation there, but with Costart and me here, maybe we can find some details that you haven't noticed."

Nicole also stood up following Ronald's movements:

"Ronald, thank you very much."

Ronald smiled back:

"I have promised before that I can help you as much as possible in this regard. Besides, isn't it also a price you pay for helping me pay for my accommodation?"

"..."

Before nightfall, the three of them left the hotel where they lived.

While leading Nicole towards the destination, Ronald looked at the back of the investigator girl and suddenly remembered the doubts he had always had before:

"That's right, Nicole."

"I actually have an inconvenient question to ask."

"Oh! What?" Nicole turned to look at Ronald, with some curiosity in her expression, "Between the two of us... No, I don't seem to be keeping anything secret. What do you want to ask first?"

Ronald shook his head and denied:

"It's not a private matter between the two of us, but a matter of the [Secret of Arcane] school's magic system."

Now that this was mentioned, Ronald had no worries or reservations.

He went straight to the point and continued to express his doubts:

"Didn't your blind eye complete a ritual and then enhance your abilities?"

After hearing this, Nicole immediately became interested.

Although she did not slow down in leading the way, she still deliberately changed her position and started walking side by side with Ronald:

"Ronald, do you think you know the key?"

"I know some details." Ronald nodded and admitted, "But if it matches what I know, some of the things in it don't make sense."

"The ritual of exchanging the vision of one eye for wisdom is logically related to rune spells, but the rune system seems to be different from the one you use."

According to Ronald's knowledge.

The ceremony performed by Nicole should be similar to an experience experienced by the main god Odin in Norse mythology.

But if that's the case, then the runes used by the girl in front of him should be runes, or what they call runes. This powerful cipher text is a mysterious power related to the secret of the universe in Nordic mythology.

However, the reality before us is not like this.

Ronald saw Nicole use spells several times, and the other party used runes composed of horizontal and vertical lines—this should be the Ogham alphabet.

This alphabet is said to be derived from the rune alphabet.

But analyzing the facts from the mysterious side, these things are more used by the Celtic side.

"..."

Ronald asked based on his relatively superficial knowledge.

However, for Nicole, these few short statements were enough to cause a huge shock.

"hiss--"

Walking on the streets of Waterfall City, Nicole took a deep breath of the cold air around her, then shook her head vigorously:

"Ronald, you can't be the founder of our [Argen's Secret] school, a branch that was secretly left somewhere?"

"You can even know this kind of thing!"

Before Ronald could reply, Costart interrupted in a rare move:

"Miss Nicole, sir, you are not a descendant of the founder of [Ogen's Secret]."

Ronald looked at the maid who was eager to protect her bloodline, and then rejected Nicole's conjecture with a normal expression:

"Nicole, if I knew everything like you said, I wouldn't be asking these things here right now."

"Okay, okay..." After confirming their attitude from the two of them, Nicole shrugged and continued, "Anyway, the [Secret of Ogen] is like this now, and there is no need to keep this kind of secret."

"Actually, within our school, the spell system studied comes from two original books. One of them is the runes you have seen me use. This part of the knowledge will be passed on to all members who join the school."

"Only after passing the rituals of the school and becoming a core member, can one be qualified to master the magical power of another original book. The essential enhancement of my strength, which I gained at the cost of one eye, comes from the power of the second original book. ability. "

"So that's it..."

Ronald understood everything immediately.

[Secret of Ogan] should have mastered the original texts of both runes and Ogan, and used this to form a school system of core inheritance and peripheral inheritance. Therefore, Nicole can activate the rituals of Nordic mythology when she uses Celtic system spells on a daily basis.

The two discussed this knowledge, and the road ahead became farther and farther.

unconsciously.

Dusk spreads in the sky towards the ground.

The three of them also arrived at an alley beside the lake before nightfall.

Nicole slowed down here, then pointed forward and said:

"We've reached the place, and this is it."
