Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 318 - 317: Self-Introduction

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: Self-Introduction

Today in Brusela, Claudia appeared in luxurious attire, her demeanor dignified.

Nothing like the time when she was with Ronald.

Wandering around Springs Street at night and even making her way to Mofan Street.

Every detail, from the posture and stride of her walk to the perfectly controlled expressions on her face and the harmonious unity of her movements,

screamed of the etiquette befitting the nobility of this world.

Accentuated by her inherently pure and extraordinary beauty, the result was an image of beauty and elegance that nearly touched the extreme.

Ronald was quite certain of that.

Any human with a normal sense of aesthetics would naturally take a liking to Claudia at this moment.

"How about it, Ronald?"

"She’s a beauty, isn’t she?"

As Ronald gazed at Claudia, Hughes, who was sitting next to him, spoke up.

This caster seemed to think that Ronald was captivated by Claudia’s beauty, so he kindly explained,

"That lady is our Gred’s First Princess, Claudia G. Bark."

"Some of the more significant assignments here are now being entrusted by Her Majesty the Queen to the princess, as part of her extracurricular training. Otherwise, meeting her would be exceptionally difficult."

Hearing Hughes stress the words "exceptionally difficult," Ronald chuckled awkwardly.

"Yes, it’s quite surprising indeed,"

"I didn’t expect to encounter a princess here."

While exchanging pleasantries with Hughes, Ronald’s gaze remained fixed on Claudia.

Although he had had his suspicions, the revelation of her true identity still caused some internal turmoil.

The last time Ronald had seen someone of such status was when he watched entertainment news about the British royal family on television.

But on second thought, it made sense.

Only someone related to the Queen could use the "Britannica Encyclopedia," an original ability belonging to Her Majesty, and display so many unheard-of spells and magic techniques, even unknown to the investigative bureau.

Such a person could only be the Queen’s closest kin, her daughter.

As Ronald and Hughes watched, the team Claudia was part of approached the center of the stage.

The investigators filed out from both sides, positioning themselves to provide protection for the venue.

Besides these investigators and Claudia, there were four servants garbed in breezy white gowns, standing at the four corners of the stage. After assuming a uniform pose, they stood motionless, like beautiful statues adorned upon the stage.

At that moment, Ronald noticed that Claudia glanced in his direction.

Although it was only for a brief instant, there was indeed a flicker of emotion in Claudia’s eyes.

However, her poise was impeccable.

After a fleeting expression of interest crossed her eyes, she immediately resumed her dignified demeanor, showing no further ripples of emotion.

Soon after, Claudia stepped forward to the edge of the podium.

Gazing at Ronald and Hughes, who were seated, she addressed them from quite close by,

"You are Mr. Hughes from the Book Research Society, and this gentleman here to exercise the Prophetic Spell Usage Rights today?"

Discerning the implication in the young lady’s words, Ronald introduced himself with a forced smile,

"Ronald, Ronald Adler."

"Good!" Claudia immediately brightened with a smile and then curtsied ever so slightly, saying, "In that case, Mr. Ronald, I am very pleased to make your acquaintance."

"As you can see, I am Claudia G. Bark," she said.

"Today, I will be responsible for the specifics concerning the use of the Prophetic Spell."

At the same time, seeing Claudia’s movement, Hughes immediately rose from his chair and returned the gesture:

"Princess Claudia, you are correct," he said.

"It will be my task to lead Mr. Ronald Adler here for the use of the original text."

"Taking time out of your busy schedule to come here, it is truly a bother for you."

Following his own words, Hughes gradually shifted his gaze to Ronald, then slightly turned to the side, the Caster made a welcoming gesture in front of Ronald:

"Ronald, this is Princess Claudia," Hughes said.

"Whatever news you need to know, please tell the princess now, and they will then proceed with the subsequent Spell ritual."

"..."

"I understand," Ronald casually nodded his head, and then his gaze met Claudia’s once more.

Neither of them chose to speak at the first opportunity.

Only after several seconds of silently staring at each other, feeling the atmosphere in the room was about to become awkward, Ronald then spoke:

"My question is, I wish to know the whereabouts of a ’girl’ named Lumiel."

"Of course, this name is very likely an alias."

"If necessary, I can also provide some additional information."

Hearing Ronald’s question, Claudia appeared thoughtful:

"Lumiel... that name sounds familiar?"

"You have a good memory," Ronald plainly explained. "The name Lumiel was actually reported by the investigation bureau before. You probably saw it sometime."

Claudia, no longer puzzled, naturally requested:

"Since it is something the investigation bureau did not continue to pursue, it must be the kind of thing that’s inconvenient to investigate. Give me the specifics."

Ronald immediately explained:

"This matter, it starts with a day in Black Mountain. Back then, my friends and I were preparing to head to Spring’s journey, and then we encountered some very special events..."

In the auction house, Ronald recounted the details about Lumiel, carefully omitting any mention of the Divine Comedy.

As she listened to his story, Claudia’s expression grew increasingly serious. When it came to the part about the warden, the girl was completely earnest, even picking out specific questions to ask Ronald.

"..."

Time passed by the minute and the second.

Listening to their tacit Q&A, even Hughes started to show a contemplative look on his face.

It was only after their communication had concluded that Claudia nodded, saying earnestly:

"Alright, I’ve understood the situation."

"There shouldn’t be a problem, go back and sit tight."

"My Ronald Adler—"

When she finally addressed Ronald by name, Claudia’s tone subtly added ’my’ before his name.

The word was said so softly.

So softly that only she and Ronald could hear it.
