Mystic Dominator

"Cough-cough-"

After Kostatt let go, the old man first coughed violently.

He showed a look of pain, and then he was about to speak.

But just before the old man's first sentence came out, Ronald said:

"The technique of coughing to disguise spellcasting is quite clever."

"But with all due respect, let's forget about this kind of thing. If I really want to kill you, you will never have any chance to resist."

"…"

The old man opened his eyes wide, a little in disbelief.

He believes that his spellcasting skills have been concealed to perfection, which is something that has been verified many times in the past.

But in the eyes of the young man in front of him, he was seen through at a glance.

This not only requires terrifying power of observation, but also requires the ultimate magical induction to achieve the effect.

First the time-reversing spell, then this terrifying power of observation.

I was just on the top of my head just now, and I ended up encountering such an outrageous thing?

The old man subconsciously glanced at Costart next to him.

In fact, not only this young man, but the girl who subdued him in an instant just now is also an unreasonably strong guy.

Such a rarity that he had never seen a combination in his life.

Just bumped into it today? Could this be a coincidence?

The old man was full of doubts, but at this time, Ronald was the first to speak:

"You don't have to doubt these things. I chose to come here because I sensed your presence."

After expressing the scruples in his heart, the old man's expression became very ugly:

"Mind reading?"

Ronald shook his head:

"Just a judgment based on your emotions, I have no interest in spying on other people's thoughts."

"Now the conversation gets to the point - I'm going to ask you a few questions."

"As long as you answer honestly, you can leave soon, and I guarantee your safety."

Ronald expressed his attitude, but the old man still did not speak.

Usually Ronald may explain a few more words, but seeing such a scene today, he really had no extra mood, so he started to ask questions directly:

"First, your name."

Hearing this question, the old man was stunned, even a little inexplicable.

The person who pits himself here doesn't even know his name, what kind of joke is this?

Just as he was about to scold him, the old man saw Ronald's eyes.

It was serious and serious, without a trace of superfluous emotion.

He immediately replied:

"Anthony, Anthony Borg."

Ronald went on to ask:

"Are you the caster of the [Nine Rings Secret Society]?"

Anthony shook his head in veto:

"I don't belong to them, I'm currently a freelance caster."

Ronald didn't question the answer, but said one result with considerable certainty:

"This city, you are the strongest spellcaster on the mysterious side."

"The strongest are not necessarily their people!" After a few questions, Anthony clearly noticed Ronald's attitude towards the [Nine Rings Secret Society], and hurriedly began to explain, "Their strongest people are concentrated in the capital, surrounded by The "Book of Interpretation" starts its activities. You are also a mysterious person, is it not difficult to understand?"…

Ronald raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

The next time I speak, it will be another question:

"Since entering here, I have found that the casters in the city have a bad attitude towards ordinary people. Is this common here?"

Hearing this question, Anthony's expression also became uncomfortable.

He struggled for a while, and finally said helplessly:

"I don't want to admit it - but lad, you're right, that's how it is here. And what's more, people seem to enjoy the rules, it's hard to change."

Ronald asked:

"No one stood up to resist?"

Anthony shook his head regretfully:

"It is impossible for people to go against the mainstream, especially us who have been hiding our identities in the past. When the existence of the mysterious side is revealed to the world, this is an inevitable trend of change."

During the question and answer, the old man was completely on the weak side.

But it may be due to the influence of his usual speaking habits. After he answered, he began to comfort Ronald:

"Young man, I know what you're worrying about."

"But with all due respect, this is already the general trend of social change, and it is unavoidable. Although the [Nine Rings Secret Society] is very intense here, it is only faster."

"One day, other places will become like this."

Ronald's eyes became subtle.

Asked here, he is actually ready to let the old man leave, after all, he has no reason to do anything to someone outside the incident.

But Anthony's follow-up views made him stop his original thoughts and asked again:

"Do you think this is correct?"

Anthony still shook his head:

"of course not!"

"But in reality, people are often not on the right path."

"Young man, I know you are outraged by this reality, but with all due respect, accepting and adapting to the environment is the road to long-term survival."

"…"

Ronald did not refute the old man.

Just waving at the other party, he left with Costat, no longer paying attention to Anthony.

From a practical point of view, he knew that the attitude of the other party was understandable.

But Ronald didn't think so.

Even if the hope is slim, as long as the road to a happy ending exists, then he still has to try it.

Such an encounter happened during the trip, and Ronald naturally had no intention of staying in the city. After the conversation was over, he walked out of the city with Kostat, ready to find a place to take off, and flew directly to the nest of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], giving them a hard blow.

However, the two walked out of the city on the front foot, and slowed down on the back foot.

After walking a distance of almost two kilometers, Ronald simply stopped moving forward, and stood by the pipeline with Costat, quietly waiting for the figure behind him.

That's right - that Anthony actually followed!

The old man who should have had a good rest, or was glad that he was not killed, followed immediately after Ronald and the two left.

Even after going out of the city to get here, the other party has no intention of stopping.

It's just past noon now.

Anthony seemed to have the ability to strengthen his body, so it wasn't too tiring to follow the two of them. Only after catching up completely, he took a deep breath, as if to show that his physical strength was not as good as that of Ronald and the others.

In the face of such an old man, Ronald was not hypocritical, and he asked first:

"Tell me, what are you doing with us?"

"And a word of caution, if there's no real reason for this this time—you might be in for some trouble."

"I don't know what you are going to do." Anthony was very confident at this time, and even made an unexpected suggestion, "Just to act in this land, maybe you need a guide?"

Ronald raised his eyebrows: "So...?"

Anthony raised his aged hand and pointed to his face:

"So, what do you think of me?"
