Chapter 249 The Rules of the Night
In Springs at night, Ronald and Claudia walked together on the sparsely populated streets.
As said before, Claudia wanted to clean up her body and clothes. It would definitely be a terrible event for her to go home in this state.
So Ronald's mansion became their common destination.
In the second half of the night, almost no one can be seen on the street, and only occasionally can the patrol personnel in charge of city security be seen at night.
As for such ordinary people, Ronald and Claudia can easily bypass them as long as they make a detour where the street lights are not easily illuminated.
It took some time on foot, and they finally reached the riverbank at a rather late hour.
Looking at the street at night.
For a moment, Ronald felt a little strange.
Moving from Brunwich to a new home, even though he has only lived in Brunwich for a few months, such a gap is still inevitable.
Shaking his head slightly, Ronald took the lead towards the door of the apartment.
The streetlight was shining not far away, Ronald aimed at the door lock easily, then took out the key and opened the door as quietly as possible.
It's different from the streets outside.
The inner courtyard of the apartment is printed with a layer of black shadow by the night sky, but at the same time, the environment is not completely invisible, and it looks quite different.
Seeing such an apartment for the first time, Ronald froze for a moment before beckoning Claudia to the stairs. At the same time, he asked the girl behind him by the way:
"Isa, we made such a big commotion tonight, why didn't the investigation bureau here in Springs send someone over?"
"..."
Hearing Ronald's question, Claudia lowered her head in embarrassment.
However, she didn't hesitate for too long, and quickly followed Ronald, answering frankly:
"In this matter, part of it is actually my problem."
"For the large-scale spellcasting phenomenon in Springs City,
As well as certain special ceremonies unfolding, the Bureau of Investigation has a very strict surveillance network, and it is also a monitoring system built together with the church, so the possibility of mistakes is very small. "
"In this case, the Bureau of Investigation will definitely send someone over to deal with the situation at the scene."
"It's a pity that I'm here tonight..."
Ronald understood everything in an instant.
The meaning of Claudia's words is that she is also casting spells because she took the initiative to join the battle. The monitoring system of the Investigation Bureau noticed that the spell of "Encyclopedia Britannica" appeared in the execution ground, and there was no information feedback in a short period of time. It would only think that a high-level investigator was working there.
No wonder no one came to interfere with their battle tonight.
Just as Ronald understood the reason, Claudia raised her eyes.
She realized that the man in front of her really knew very little about Springs, and she might be able to do some science popularization work for Ronald.
So, Claudia immediately followed her own explanation and continued:
"Ronald, let me tell you something."
"After all, it is a city with a population of one million, so in Springs, small-scale personal spellcasting is allowed. The premise of everything is that your spells should not be noticed by ordinary people."
"Of course, there is an exception for things that cause people's lives."
"Involving relatively serious personal injury, the Bureau of Investigation will still accept the corresponding case."
Listening to Claudia's explanation, Ronald lowered his footsteps and walked up the stairs while asking in a low voice:
"Aside from these, is there anything else that needs attention?"
Claudia immediately replied:
"Curfew, the last thing to watch out for is the curfew."
"Because the dark night is the natural protective shield for casting spells on the mysterious side, the management at night is much stricter than during the day. From ten o'clock every day to eight o'clock the next day, it is best not to use spells during this period."
"If investigators patrolling at night feel suspicious, they will come to the door immediately to conduct a thorough investigation."
"unless……"
"Unless like we did tonight..."
While explaining to Ronald.
Claudia also followed up the stairs.
When she came to Ronald's room on the third floor, she looked around curiously, and then asked:
"Ronald, your house is so small, is there a place where you can take a bath?"
Ronald nodded subtly, then replied:
"Of course there is, it's in the room."
The rent of the apartment is actually there.
Some necessary facilities are naturally available.
Just like Ronald's room, in the corner directly opposite the bed, there is his independent bathroom, and a relatively new shower equipment is also installed in it.
Of course, in Ronald's view, this thing still has a relatively long history.
If you want to take a hot bath with this thing, the owner must fill the water tank above the head, and then plug in the water heater to heat it up before taking a bath. Even the position where the water comes out of the water tank is a faucet that goes straight up and down.
Following Ronald's guidance, Claudia walked into the bathroom and saw everything while looking at the environment.
Facing such a simple bathing facility.
The girl frowned somewhat dissatisfied.
However, Claudia also understands that she is not in her own home, nor is she on a visit, so the difference cannot be compared.
After groping to open the water tank, she turned her head to look at Ronald, and said slightly:
"So, I'm going to take a shower now?"
"..."
Showing a very polite smile to Claudia, Ronald immediately took two steps back and left the bathroom door.
He heard the bathroom door slam shut.
Ronald walked to the bed by himself and sat down on it.
He wasn't going to ask Claudia what to do about her clothes.
With the spellcasting ability shown by the other party, it is not a problem to clean a few clothes.
"uh-huh?"
At this moment, Ronald turned his head and looked at his balcony.
There is an open balcony on the outside of his room. Except for the flowers and plants left by the previous tenant, the direction here is also facing the eastern sky.
At this moment, Ronald saw the slightly blue sky in the distance.
After such a long time, Springs is about to usher in the next morning.
After a night of fighting last night...
Sure enough, he was still a little hungry.
Having made a decision in his mind, Ronald immediately stood up from the bed.
Before Claudia put the water in the water tank, he asked through the door:
"Isa, I'm going to go out and buy some breakfast."
"Do you want me to bring some for you?"
"..."
The air was silent for a few seconds.
The girl's happy voice immediately came from the bathroom:
“Just normal breakfast!”
