Ron's idea was simple.

Helen had already shown the characteristics of her personality. For people like her, as long as sufficient strength and benefits were demonstrated, they could be made to firmly stand behind him.

Moreover, he wasn't worried that Helen would expose his secrets. After all, since they met, she hadn't even told a few true words.

"I didn't expect that you were a wizard," Helen said with a beaming face. "Lord Ron, you can ask me any questions you have. I'll surely tell you everything I know. I just have a small wish."

She slightly tilted her head and looked at Ron with bright eyes:"Can you take me with you when you leave?"Ron flipped his palm calmly:"Of course, but if you leak my secrets, I'll directly crush your heart with my mind."Helen's face froze for a moment:"I'll never do anything to betray you. If necessary, you can cast witchcraft on me at any time. As long as I can follow you and leave, I'm willing to do anything."

Although Helen was still a little scared and hesitant, in the face of this life-saving straw, she still wanted to hold on tightly with all her strength. Compared with the fate of falling into the noble's castle, being taken away by a wizard, who was rumored to be less cruel, was definitely a great thing.

Ron said nonchalantly:"There's no need for witchcraft. As long as you're alive, I can crush your heart at will."A sincere look of submission appeared on her face. She slightly leaned forward, trying to get closer to Ron's body, but immediately realized that Ron didn't have the intention she had imagined. So she forced herself to maintain the forward-leaning posture and looked up at Ron with an awed expression.

"Have you seen other wizards before?" Ron asked."No, but I've heard of one who broke into another noble's territory. He killed several viscounts and then left the Blood Plain. But I haven't seen any wizard with my own eyes. I'm just an ordinary mortal," Helen replied respectfully.

Ron asked the question he had just asked:"What do you think of Ralph?"Helen didn't hesitate at all:"Ralph is a scoundrel without any bottom line. If he can achieve his goal in the same way, he'll definitely choose the option that's most unfavorable to others."May I ask, how much does he know?"Ron said:"I showed my strong body. When you all gathered around, I had actually secretly controlled him and could easily knock him down."But he knows nothing about my identity."Helen frowned slightly:"I think he'll definitely find it hard to swallow this. If he doesn't realize the greatness of the wizard, he'll surely use his control over others to arrange for you to explore the way."This is also his way of killing people. In the past, he would also use hunger and mental torture to break down his enemies and make them die helplessly on the way."

To be arranged to explore the way?Wasn't that his current intention?

The most difficult problem Ron was facing and couldn't avoid was that he definitely had to kill these three knights before arriving at the castle, and this was on the premise that he didn't know anything about these creatures.

Ron asked calmly:"How can he make me explore the way?"Helen sank into a gloomy memory:"When the knights choose the pathfinders, they'll directly call away the first two people standing in the front of the team. At that time, I was pushed forward two steps by someone, so I was also called up. And Raymond had already been arranged by Ralph to be at the front of the team."But fortunately, there's an unspoken rule among us, that is, each person only needs to go once. This is also one of the reasons Ralph used to persuade those people to take the initiative to explore the way."Ron asked:"But the knights don't know this rule at all?"Helen nodded slightly.He said:"Next time, you follow me to explore the way."Helen was first surprised, and then her body trembled slightly out of control, because she immediately understood the implication of Ron's words.

She was really going to be free!

Helen could hardly restrain her excitement and joy, but she still managed to sit obediently in her original position and looked up at Ron with almost fanatical eyes."Wizard Lord..."

Ron suddenly turned his head to look outside the tent.

There was a medium-sized man walking towards the tent. His footsteps were not unfamiliar to Ron. They were one of the earliest sounds he heard when he woke up.

"Raymond is coming," Helen said, slightly raising her eyebrows and looking at the tent door."He's the person in the whole team who has the most conflicts with Ralph. If I'm not mistaken, he's also a good man who has still been able to hold his bottom line until today."

Click, click, click...

The black shadow stopped at the tent door and swayed gently with the breeze.

"Mr. Ron, may I come in?""Of course."The thick arm lifted the tent door, and the strong and steady man walked in. He looked down at Ron and Helen who were sitting with a calm expression.

Raymond first nodded slightly to Helen, then looked at Ron and sat down directly opposite him:"Lord Ron, I'm here to warn you."

Ralph had really thought of everything. He had arranged Helen beside Ron early on, making it impossible for him to go against his will. Otherwise, he might have taken the opportunity to be open and honest with Ron.

What a pity...

Ron was a little puzzled that he would come to him:"Warning?"Raymond said with a resolute face:"Ralph, although you've become his follower now, if you don't have enough vigilance, you'll soon be played around by him and eventually end up being fed to the wild wolves."I can say very little, but one thing is certain. He'll try to force you to explore the way."Ron looked into his eyes and asked:"Why are you helping me?"Raymond smiled bitterly:"Maybe it's because I'm a busybody. My advice is to be vigilant about what I'm going to say next. And when facing him, you should raise your vigilance to the highest level."I have a way."Ron asked curiously:"What do you want to do?"Raymond looked up and stared at him:"I've just finished exploring the way, so he has no way to deal with me. For me, as long as he can't kill me, it doesn't matter. And I also have a strong body, but I can't deal with him."And if you can come back successfully, you'll also become invincible to him. And I can go with you. If we can both come back safely..."Then we can compete with him."Actually, when I found you, I sensed an unusual aura on you. After all, you were the one who was unconscious in the wasteland but still alive."You can think about my proposal. You can also ask others about what I was like before. If you agree, we can deal with him together. If you refuse, that's okay too. But I'll still stand up and help you survive during the exploration."After saying that, he secretly exchanged a brief glance with Helen, and then got up to leave.

Raymond knew that he had finished his job. Helen would try to persuade Ron, and if he still had questions and went out to ask others...

He would learn that what he said was all true.

This was Ralph's cleverness.
