Chapter 45: Angry
The next morning, Ronan and his party came out of the hotel where they stayed overnight, and then found a tavern that looked not very expensive.
As the sun was rising, there were quite a few people in the tavern, but most of them looked more like they hadn't slept all night.
There was a constant buzz of voices in the tavern. Ronan and the four of them randomly chose a round table to sit down and ordered their own breakfasts.
After a night's rest, Ronan found that everyone was in good spirits.
Old Wells's face looked much better, but he would cough slightly from time to time.
"I'll go find brother Andre and sister Qiao Lin later."
Old Wells counted a few names. When Linus was mentioned, Ronan frowned, but said nothing. He just asked, "Do you know where they are?"
"Others don't know."
Old Wells replied: "But based on my understanding of Andre's half-elf brother and sister, they probably won't choose to go into the city even if they get here, so I plan to take Venetia and Cheryl around the town. "
"It's a bit dangerous for you three to go."
Ronan shook his head, "Let them follow me."
An unknown number of wizards poured into the town yesterday, and now everything was in a mess, with a mixture of fish and dragons. Ronan was worried that Old Wells would be in trouble when he led the three old and weak people to act together.
"I'll take them to do some errands and take a look at the house."
They have officially moved into the town now, so they urgently need a place to stay for a long time. They can't sleep in hotels every day, and their wallets can't bear it.
Old Wells did not object to Ronan's proposal. At this time, their breakfasts were served.
Ronan didn't know what he ordered. He looked at the plate of mush and had no idea what to do with it. He even lost his appetite when he thought that such a piece of crap would cost a quarter of a magic stone.
While they were eating, the wizards at the tables around them kept chatting, and naturally they were talking about the invasion of black robes.
Some people say that yesterday, several wizarding villages living in families living in seclusion in the forest near Hoddam were all massacred by black robes, and their corpses were all transformed into undead puppets to drive.
Some people said that at dawn, a large group of senior apprentices hurriedly walked out of the Central Academy, and it looked like the academy was launching a counterattack against the invasion of the Black Witchland.
Some people said that there was a formal battle between powerful wizards deep in the dense forest on the east side, and the energy aftermath of the spell blast directly flattened a hill.
These were all gossips obtained from unknown sources. They were both true and false. Ronan just took them for fun.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the tavern.
"Did you see the boat that left the academy last night?"
After saying these words, the whole tavern suddenly became quiet.
Ronan obviously saw Old Wells' hand holding a fork and plucking vegetables on Cheryl's plate pause for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, someone lamented: "Hey, we can't catch the ship anyway. We have a chance to leave Hoddam. I don't know when."
No one spoke anymore, everyone fell silent.
After leaving the tavern, Ronan took Venetia and Cheryl, made an appointment with Old Wells on a place to meet again, and then split up.
Old Wells has rich life experience and a wide range of contacts, so he is more suitable for finding people than him.
Ronan led Venicia and the two of them to a housing agency, and specifically told Venicia: "You and Cheryl will wait here obediently. If the door opens, go in and ask about the price. When I come back, I’ll take you to see it together.”
Venetia hummed softly and stood on the roadside with Cheryl obediently.
Ronan bought each of them a donut-like thing to chew on, and then hurried in another direction alone.
Walking straight along the road in the middle of the three forks at the entrance of the town, there are large tracts of ivy planted on both sides of the road. In late autumn, they are still green and shiny.
The memory of his previous life awakened in his mind - if he continued walking, Ronan would soon be able to see a huge black iron door. There were statues of wizards on both sides of the iron door, and the statues were covered with black and white ash. The owl
But before Ronan could see the black iron door in his memory, he found that the front was obscured by a white mist as thick as milk.
He tried to take a few steps into the thick fog, but was blocked by the light of a rune array.
Ronan was dumbfounded.
How can we go on like this?
In an emergency, is Hoddam Wizarding Academy not allowing non-college people to approach? What about his application for admission?
Ronan hesitated outside the rune magic circle for a long time. After waiting for a long time, he finally caught a person walking out of the thick fog and magic circle. Wearing the robe with the logo of Hoddam Wizarding Academy, he looks very young, and you can tell he is a student of the academy at a glance.
"Brother, why is there no way to enter the academy now? I want to apply for admission."
Ronan didn't care what the other person thought of him or what his strength was, he just grabbed him and asked.
The young wizard seemed dissatisfied when Ronan stopped him, but he still replied coldly: "Enroll in? What school should you enroll in?"
The college stopped recruiting students a few months ago. "
"What?!"
Ronan was stunned on the spot, a little disbelieving, "Stop recruiting students? Why?
Aren't auditors also recruited?"
The latter didn't bother to say another word. He snorted lightly, pulled his robe and walked away.
Ronan was left standing alone, silent for a long time.
"I said this is the price now, whether you like to rent it or not.
If you can't afford the rent, get out and don't block the people lining up behind you! "
The thin man with two dark circles under his eyes waved his hands impatiently, as if he was disgusted and driven away.
"call--"
A big hand tore through the air, suddenly stretched out and grabbed the collar of the man's robe, and with a "bang" sound, he pressed the man hard against the wooden board of the wall behind him, creating a shallow crater.
"Did I say I won't rent? Can't we check out the place first?
Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart right now?!"
Ronan's eyes were cold and hard, and his whole body exuded a strong and cold aura, like a beast that could suddenly break out and hurt people at any time.
The man who was held up by him turned pale, looked at him with horror in his eyes, and stammered: "Go... I will take you to see it now..."
Ronan said nothing, but looked down at the man expressionlessly.
But the focus of his eyes didn't seem to be on the man.
Accompanied by the man's disordered and rapid breathing, the atmosphere in the small room became more and more depressing. Just when the man was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, Ronan's hand suddenly relaxed again and let him go. .
"never mind."
Ronan said calmly: "I don't think about it anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and walked straight out the door.
When he reached the street at the door, he heard an angry shout from behind.
"The people from the college's law enforcement team will be here soon. If you have the skills, don't leave!"
Ronan narrowed his eyes, turned around, and kicked the agency's door open with a bang, and the clamor inside immediately stopped.
"Let's go."
After doing all this, he asked Venetia and the two to leave. The gray-robed wizards who were passing by and waiting to find a house for rent all looked at him as if they were monsters and moved out of the way.
The three of them walked two streets in silence, and Ronan suddenly felt someone secretly tugging at the hem of his robe.
Looking down, he found Cheryl looking up at him timidly.
Ronan blinked, squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheryl seemed a little afraid of Ronan. She took two steps back and said hesitantly: "Sister Vivienne asked me to ask you if you are angry because she is too useless and can't handle even the smallest things. "
"Well"
