Ronald's first priority was to figure out where he was.
From the records in the archive earlier, they had collected a large amount of information about the Holy Capital, including a map of the city.
"If I fly up and scout from the air, I might draw the attention of the Nine-Ring Secret Society. Better to move around on the ground for now."
Whether scouting from the air or on the ground, the efficiency would be almost the same.
Ronald immediately activated the Spell [Astrolabe], gathering the terrain features in the vicinity, while his feet carried him toward the most striking building nearby.
—It was an extravagantly shaped fountain statue.
Following the road, Ronald reached his target, found a chair in the plaza where the fountain statue stood, sat down, closed his eyes, and began carefully processing the map information fed back by the Spell.
He had successfully entered the Holy Capital, but was unexpectedly separated from his companions.
