Seeing the girl’s actions in front of him, Ronald also understood that now was not the time to ponder these questions.
So, he nodded towards Claudia and immediately replied,
"I understand, Miss Isa."
Claudia smiled and shook her head:
"We still have to act together after this."
"You don’t need to be so formal, just call me Isa."
"Alright, Isa." Ronald nodded to show his understanding and then continued to ask, "So, where are we heading next, and what specifically do we need to do?"
Claudia did not immediately answer Ronald’s question.
After waving her hand to disperse the summoned phantom of the original, she slowly moved her body and shifted her gaze, finally resting her eyes on the stone long bench by the surrounding wall.
She quietly sized up the place where Ronald had scaled the wall to get in.
A few more thoughts arose in the girl’s mind, and a somewhat mischievous smile gradually appeared on her face:
"I do have a few destinations in mind."
"Ronald, you first take me over the wall from here."
Ronald was stunned for a second.
He felt like he understood something but was also somewhat disbelieving.
So, tentatively, he asked,
"When you said ’take you over the wall,’ you mean..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when Claudia interrupted him and then simply nodded:
"That’s right, it’s exactly what you’re thinking."
"If we leave through the main gate, you will definitely be detected by the protective spells. To be safe, let’s just do it straightforwardly—you carry me over the wall on this side."
After she finished speaking, Claudia also reached down to press her skirt and added:
"A lady cannot scale a wall by herself."
Ronald recalled his past experience in Yizi Forest when he jumped onto the Dongfeng train.
Back then, because he didn’t have the physical stamina to meet Arya’s so-called ’standard accessible to the average person,’ he had to ride on that creature and jump onto the train midway.
Was it his turn to be ridden?
Ronald’s expression was somewhat complicated, and then his gaze started to survey Claudia from both sides.
Although the girl had changed her face, her figure had not changed in the slightest.
At least in terms of changing one’s physical appearance, Raphael’s technique was still a cut above.
Was it really convenient for him to carry her?
While Ronald hesitated, Claudia could not wait any longer.
She directly went behind Ronald and decisively patted his back:
"I’m getting on, get ready."
"Eh?" Ronald’s expression faltered, and before he could react, a slim and soft body was already pressed against his back.
Feeling the soft touch behind him,
After much consideration, Ronald still did not verbally refuse the girl.
After all, since he had already carried her, there was no helping it...
Then, he warned Claudia:
"Isa, hold on tight."
Claudia replied in a rather cheerful tone:
"Hold on tight, just climb on up!"
Feeling the increased grip on his neck, Ronald no longer dawdled.
He summoned the black mist he had hidden within his clothes and charged straight toward the wall.
Claudia knew of his mysterious alter ego.
So now, Ronald had no need to hide his magic from her. The moment his foot stepped onto the stone bench, the spreading black mist also firmly clung to the top of the wall.
Next, the same sequence of actions when he had climbed over the wall reoccurred.
A sprinting start, leveraging the black mist, checking for passersby outside the wall before quickly scaling it.
In just two or three breaths of time,
Ronald successfully brought Claudia outside Wildering University.
"Not bad with your moves, eh?"
Once Ronald had steadied himself on the ground, Claudia praised him softly from his back and promptly let go and jumped down.
She then said thanks.
The first thing Claudia did was turn around and take in everything around her.
Standing on the street of the riverbank area outside the wall.
She silently and attentively observed her surroundings.
As time gradually passed, the flow of people outside the university had become quite sparse.
Even glancing left and right, there were only a few passersby around.
Yet such a scene was one the girl seldom had the chance to see. Due to her identity, there had always been dedicated bodyguards to protect her.
Today was an exception, which was why she had time to quietly read in the garden behind the dormitory and wait to deal with Gron.
While Claudia was waiting in silence, a living man suddenly leaped down from the wall above her, wrapped in a very powerful Spell.
Claudia thought it was a stroke of luck that had led to an extremely bad incident; she was likely to be kidnapped and used as a bargaining chip.
But then, the development of the events
Greatly exceeded Claudia’s expectations.
It was the descendant of the Adler family that appeared before her!
In the subsequent conversation, she even used a lie detector to verify all of his responses.
Ronald was mostly honest during their conversation, which made Claudia very fond of the man before her.
Gron, who followed shortly afterward, caused her mood to change once again.
After just a few minutes’ experience, Claudia found it a very interesting process.
And the final conclusion she drew
Was that she was very interested in Ronald.
It was because of this interest, and driven by multiple curiosities, that she had suddenly decided on such a bold idea.
—To go out and stroll with this guy.
If the events of today were to be known by others...
At this thought, Claudia suddenly shook her head with a self-deprecating smile:
Meanwhile, Ronald, standing next to the girl, caught sight of her motion and promptly walked up beside her.
Though curious about her shaking her head, Ronald knew it wasn’t the right time to ask.
So, he asked with clear intent:
"Isa, are we ready to go now?"
Looking at the earnest Ronald before her, Claudia thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.
Then, she gave the answer she had prepared earlier:
"For today, I plan to visit three places."
"The cathedral district, the port district, and Mofan Street, which one do you think we should go to first?"
