Ha...

Evil cult magician, Lalayeh.

Mixing these two things together really turns this city into quite the spectacle!

Batty, mentioned by the Entrode agent, Ronald has some impression too.

Although he only saw him briefly in the Mirror of Dream previously, the owner of this name is undoubtedly a central figure of Entrode's political power, and also one of the original holders within Waterfall City.

If such a person is invaded and completely controlled by a true core organism.

"Truly impressive..."

Ronald felt his vision darken, and immediately understood the reason behind the Entrode agent's expression.

And this same reality placed the problem right in front of him as well.

Should he pretend to know nothing and continue helping Nicole search for the companion of the "Secret of Aogen" caster; or take initiative in meddling with this affair, facing the waves of trouble sure to follow?

A person's character predestines certain actions.

Turning a blind eye to such widespread harm is truly not a choice Ronald would make.

Just like that, Ronald's mind quickly underwent some changes, having already formulated a plan.

Thus, he spoke again to the man in front of him:

"Seems you've realized this is quite a mess too?"

"I... I'm just an ordinary agent in the department!"

The Entrode agent nearly cried in response to Ronald.

Faced with this series of explosive news, he trembled, even struggling to hold the stone box in his arms stable.

This wasn't fear of the true core organism mentioned by Ronald.

But a fundamental shakiness regarding Waterfall City's security at this moment.

"..."

Seeing the young man in front of him turn out this way, Ronald decided not to continue scaring him and quickly changed the subject:

"Aside from your headquarters over there, are there any other clear individuals in the city who have received these saint relics?"

"I need information on those people."

"Other individuals who've obtained saint relics..." Certainly the Entrode agent did not mind answering this question, so after careful recall, he soon gave Ronald the answer, "The northern district, Iliad of the Kers Academy; Doris, the witch in the western district. These two are clearly individuals who've accrued saint relics and more than just our agents know about it."

"Good." Upon receiving this information, Ronald immediately turned towards Costate and Nicole.

After glancing at the two companions, Ronald first solemnly instructed the maid:

"Costate, I now need to go atop the waterfall to deal with Entrode's unfortunate problems. You two should follow this guy's intel to search for the two casters in the city—if they've already been parasitized by true core organisms and can not be saved, then deal with them on the spot; if salvation is possible, do lend a hand."

Costate nodded assuredly:

"Sir, I understand."

With the maid's tasks arranged, Ronald again looked at Nicole, whose expression was somewhat uneasy:

"Nicole, the news of these two gaining saint relics has circulated in Waterfall City. If the 'Secret of Aogen' caster really desires this, approaching these two might yield some intelligence."

Nicole had no objections to Ronald's arrangement.

"Ronald, I understand it all."

The investigator girl wasn't someone who couldn't tell priority from urgency; she understood the current situation's emergency and that Ronald's arrangements weren't meaningless.

And seeing Nicole's face of understanding brought Ronald some relief.

"That's good."

"You two stick together, look out for each other, it puts my mind at ease."

As he finished speaking, Ronald turned again, refocusing on the Entrode agent.

Things had already developed to this point.

He naturally didn't plan to entrust such an important task to the man in front of him.

Thus, with no resistance from the other party, Ronald retrieved the stone box he had just handed over, while quietly chanting a spell:

"Start composing our understanding from relations between the whole earth and sky..."

The "Astronomy Master" spell concluded its recital.

Ronald's body floated into the air, driven by the spell's power.

Before leaving the location, Ronald also didn't forget to instruct the Entrode agent:

"I'll handle the matters about Lalayeh and Batty."

"I suggest you promptly spread this news, prevent other uninformed people in the city from getting hurt."

Whoosh—

Upon finishing, Ronald didn't wait for the other to respond.

He abruptly intensified the spell's power and promptly disappeared into Waterfall City's pitch-black night.

...

Waterfall City covers a large area, but Ronald's flight speed wasn't exactly slow.

It didn't take long.

He flew over the lower city, arriving once more above the Entrode government hall in the night.

Crack!

Arriving at the place, Ronald's gaze began searching below for the object he sought. But just then, the hand inside the stone box he carried seemed to sense something, suddenly became active from its stillness, and began striking against the box.

Sensing this commotion, Ronald naturally looked down.

Whoosh—

The hand, already in violent motion, appeared to have sensed Ronald's action.

As soon as he looked down, this white-as-jade hand exploded with formidable force, shooting out from the box and fiercely clutching Ronald's face.

With a snap, the hand clasped tightly onto Ronald's face.

But Ronald himself didn't react, calmly observing all the actions of this fragment of a hand.

In fact—he didn't need to.

Because when the hand lunged, the protective white light membrane of the Guardian Angel repelled the attack. Even when the hand grasped the face and started seeping that familiar white true core substance, aiming to overtake Ronald's body—it was ultimately futile.

"Ha—"

Faced with the creature like a facehugger, Ronald, confirming it had no more tricks, smirked coldly and activated the "Heavenly Chapter" spell.

In an instant.

The hand piece and the white liquid on Ronald's face were forcibly torn off by the spell's power.

Ronald pondered, then decidedly organized the hand and white true core organisms into two sides, orderly controlling them back into the stone box, nodding in satisfaction before casting his gaze to the government hall below.

"Where could it be..."

"..."

"Alright, that's the one."

Soon, Ronald pinned down a suitable target.

Gripping firmly the item able to testify for him, he flew straight down.
