As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

In the Ronpoint hotel, Agnes has been waiting quietly by Ron's side.

If Ron's soul left the body on its own, then she would not be able to do anything else except wait for Ron's soul to return to its original place. Moreover, Agnes had carefully checked the surroundings of the hotel and could not see any encounters at all. Traces of invasion.

She could only keep calling in Ron's ear, hoping that Ron could hear her voice through the connection between soul and body and wake up as soon as possible.

On the other side, Apu and Holt also met again.

In the past few days, this was the first time the two of them had met.

More than half a month ago, the two of them finalized the matter of killing Ron, and even made careful plans the next day.

On Apu's side, in addition to himself, there are also the thirteen lackeys around Apu. No, they are the top three masters among the thirteen lackeys. These three are also the only legendary powerful ones under Apu. They are all Apu's loyal confidants.

One of them is the leader of the Knights of the Dawn, one is the director of the Inquisition, and although the third person does not have any actual power in name, no one dares to underestimate him. His strength is the strongest among the three. He specializes in handling some difficult and dirty things for Apu, and his methods are extremely vicious and cruel.

As for Holt's side, it's naturally Antonio and Hercules.

Although there were only two of them, their level was slightly higher than the three on Apu's side.

There are a total of seven legendary masters, whether it is Apu or Holt, they are full of confidence. Once Ron gets close to Adams, there will be no way for Ron to come back.

Obviously the big net has been opened, waiting for Ron to appear, but Ron seems to have disappeared, completely missing.

Apu had seen with his own eyes that Ron and Agnes were heading towards Adams. According to estimates, they would definitely be able to return to the royal city in two or three days, which is at most six or seven days. There were secret sentries left by them everywhere leading to Adams, waiting for Ron to approach and kill him directly outside the royal city of Adams, but there was still no trace for so long, which made both of them murmur. .

They even suspected that Ron and Agnes had returned to the royal city. They deployed several times more manpower and searched everywhere, but found nothing.

"Apu, are you wrong in your judgment? Ron and Agnes are not thinking about returning to Granville, right?" Holt tapped his fingers on the table and frowned. Brow asked.

It was originally full of anger, but now the waiting time is getting longer and longer, and the initial enthusiasm has long turned into irritability. Especially when he thought that these two people might be hiding somewhere behind his back and doing shameless things, while he could only wait here, Holt's mood suddenly became more irritable.

"Impossible..." Apu immediately shook his head: "Although I couldn't hear it clearly because of the distance, at least I heard him say it when he and the fox girl parted. After the Granville matter is dealt with, I will go to the orc territory."

"He will definitely return to Adams." Apu said again. As for whether he said this to make himself believe it or to make Holt believe it, it was hard to say.

"But if that's the case, why hasn't it appeared yet?" Holt frowned.

Apu opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. Then, Apu's expression suddenly changed. He seemed to have thought of something: "Damn it, we all forgot one thing..."

"That boy, with the name of a prophet, could he have already calculated that the two of us would join forces to deal with Adams, so he hid on purpose?"

As soon as these words came out, Holt's expression suddenly became gloomy.

They were making plans, and they only wanted to gather enough power to defeat Ron, but they completely forgot about Ron's identity as a prophet. Since he is a prophet, it is natural for him to know their plans. They already know everything, so who else would be stupid? To the point where you want to jump into the fire pit?

The prophet is really terrible.

"Then what should we do? Can't we just let him go?" Holt's eyes were cold and his face was twisted. The woman he wanted but couldn't get was his princess, and she was actually taken away by Ron, a bastard. Taking the lead, Holt couldn't bear this matter no matter what.

What made Holt most uncomfortable was that during this period, Holt arranged for some people to conduct some investigations into Ron's affairs.

It's okay if I don't investigate, but I'll be shocked if I investigate.

When his eldest daughter, Dolores, went to Larnaca City to attend an auction, she stayed in the same box as Ron. They even stayed in the same hotel...

The Sykes Hotel.

This name doesn't sound like a good place at first sight. According to the news brought back by the spies, it was a famous artillery house in Larnaca City.

If the two of them stayed in the same hotel, they could imagine what would happen with their fingers.

Ron, that damn little bastard, kidnapped not only his most precious daughter, but also his wife. How could there be such a hateful guy in this world?

It can be said without mercy that after learning this piece of information, Holt's hatred for Ron far exceeded that of Apu.

Apu's brain is spinning at super high speed. Killing Ron is the highest priority in Apu's heart, even surpassing his pursuit of power. If Ron cannot be killed, this may become a problem that can haunt him for the rest of his life. The knot in his heart cannot be untied, so he can't even think about making any further progress in his strength.

"I heard that Ron has two other women, Cecilia and Irelia. They are also in Adams now. How about killing these two people and spreading the news. Once Ron gets The news will definitely come over immediately, this guy still attaches great importance to his woman." After thinking carefully, Holt said.

But Apu immediately shook his head: "No, this plan is too dangerous. These two women seemed to have been greatly stimulated after experiencing the disaster in Larnaca City. Cecilia directly turned into a bloody nun. She can control blood. Although she is only at the hero level, it is difficult for low-star legendary masters to match her. As for Irelia, it is even weirder. I don’t even know the origin of the magic she uses, but it is extremely powerful. The most important thing is , these two women have a very close relationship with Christian, if you want to touch these two people, Christian will be alarmed..."

"That bitch has now reached the peak of the legendary level. Even if you and I join forces, we are no match."

After a pause, Apu said: "However, brother Holt, your words reminded me that the women who are closely related to Ron are not just Cecilia and Irelia, but also another person. , that is your daughter Dolores..."

Perhaps because they have a common enemy, these two mortal enemies are now much closer, and even call each other brothers.

As soon as he said this, Holt's face suddenly darkened: "Do you want me to kill my daughter?"

"No, no, no, how could it be possible?" Apu immediately shook his head: "With Ron's character, Delores's niece should be no longer perfect by now, although this is nothing in the upper class society. It’s a big deal, but don’t you think we should discuss the marriage of Lord Loris’ niece earlier?”

"You suppressed the Granville nobles with the help of Dolores. It's time for Dolores to put down the military power in her hands. When she gets married, I think the eldest princess will also calm down. It just so happens that I heard that Arianna is currently in seclusion, trying to break through, and I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of seclusion for a while, don't you think this is a good opportunity."

Holt understood immediately, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. The reason why Dolores was able to hold the nobles hostage and squeeze out a lot of wealth was indeed the result of his connivance. Even the reason why Dolores bribed the soldiers was Holt's fault. He is extremely indulgent. In his eyes, this eldest daughter is his white glove. It is almost time for Dolores to retire after her success. Otherwise, if time goes by, the army may really be named Dolores. Instead of Holt, and as long as the news of Dolores's marriage reaches Ron's ears, there is no fear that Ron will not come.

As long as Ron shows up, he will naturally be able to think of ways to deal with him.

"That's my precious daughter. Brother Apu, which son-in-law should you choose?" Holt asked with a smile.

"I think... the legitimate son of Grand Duke Egbert's family is good... After all, Grand Duke Egbert also has legendary six-star strength. He should not want his son's marriage to be disrupted, right?"

……

The boat of soul crossing.

Ron is not a real prophet. He doesn't know that Apu and Holt have spun a big web for him, just waiting for him to fly into the flames.

Ron, who had just returned from meditation practice, suddenly opened his eyes. Deep in one eye, there was an endless Milky Way, like countless grains of time. Deep in one eye, there was a clock. The pointer moves slowly.

This weird state lasted for a long time, and then slowly dissipated, and Ron's eyes gradually returned to normal.

He exhaled heavily and looked at the Key of Time in his hand with complicated eyes.

The fragment of Ostara is already considered an extremely precious magical secret book, and the gravekeeper's notes may not be much less valuable in Ron's eyes than the fragment of Ostara.

But now, Ron is extremely convinced that the Key of Time is far more precious and powerful than Ostara's fragments and the tombkeeper's notes.

Ron didn't know how long he had been in trance. He could only vaguely feel that a long time had passed.

And during this long period of time, he only understood the first two pages of the Key of Time... And of these two pages, the first page recorded the classification and brief introduction of various powers.

In other words, during this long period of time, all he really mastered was the content of one page.

And this content is only the initial introduction to the practice of time magic, plus the first, easiest to master, and most simple to understand magic recorded in the Key of Time.

Just the difficulty of the study is enough to show how extraordinary the Key of Time is!

Although I still want to study it some more and have the secret eye, I have stayed for too long this time, and Agnes may be anxious outside.

Ron's consciousness gradually sank, and during this second level of time, he went offline!
