Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 322 - 321 Power Angel

Chapter 322: Chapter 321 Power Angel

Although Ronald politely declined the other party’s invitation,

to leave a good impression, Miss Kreel Elmos still generously helped Ronald.

Together with her close friends and sisters,

as they exchanged information amongst people who had always been in the Lilac Path Garden,

Ronald successfully obtained a list of seven names.

These girls, coming from various parts of Springs, all met the criterion of having hurriedly left the garden within the last twenty minutes.

Hence, with this list in hand, Ronald left the Lilac Path Garden alone.

"There really are people from everywhere."

"..."

Reflecting on the list, Ronald knew he had roughly two days of activity time.

While Mou Li could evade his sudden attack, she probably had no idea what transpired in the garden afterwards.

Based on the information transmission speed of the era, it would take at least two days for Mou Li to realize that Ronald held this list, which might cause the ’girl’ to alter her identity.

Thus, Ronald nodded in satisfaction,

"Seven people, there’s enough time."

Mou Li was, after all, in hiding, and it was challenging to infer what identity she actually assumed.

The most direct method was for Ronald to ambush each one and observe their reactions.

—No sooner said than done.

Having made up his mind and having left the Lilac Path Garden,

Ronald headed towards his first target of the day.

—Miss Rona Aist of the Elmos family.

In fact, out of the seven names Kreel had given him, three resided in the Organ Quarter where the Lilac Path Garden was located.

Therefore, before nightfall today, Ronald planned to visit the three residing there first, then find one more person on his way back.

In doing so, he would have a full day tomorrow to investigate the last three.

Most residents of the Organ Quarter led comfortable lives, and the pedestrians were relatively friendly to Ronald, a stranger. After simply asking for directions, Ronald arrived at the Elmos family’s residence.

—It was a three-story dwelling commonly seen in the Organ Quarter.

A delicately decorated building with a green garden maintained and trimmed by servants.

Located in a city like Springs, Miss Rona Aist’s family circumstances were clearly quite good.

"..."

Gazing at the house in front of him, Ronald carefully adjusted the position of the black fog hidden in the palm of his hand before knocking on the door.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Is anyone there?"

Soon, a man dressed as a gardener approached from the hall.

Glancing at Ronald through the fence, the man carefully asked,

"Sir, may I ask who you are...?"

"..."

Ronald’s objective today was very clear.

After gently rubbing a brand-new ring with the tip of his left finger, he straightforwardly said,

"Let me in, and then forget any events today related to me."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the gardener’s look turned wooden.

Then in a dazed state, he reached out to open the main gate of the manor for Ronald.

"..."

After completing this action, the man staggered away.

Returning to his state before dealing with Ronald, the man quickly immersed himself back into his gardening work.

—This was the latest ability Ronald had acquired.

—The Spell of the "Angelic Authority" brought by Venus.

Actually, on that mysterious night before, Ronald had also subtly completed the third trial.

Ronald had a new ring custom-made, lodging this ability within.

The abilities provided by "Divine Comedy," the original tome, fit very closely with the contents of the specific Chapters described therein.

The effect of "Angel of Authority" was to activate a spell and then issue verbal commands to others.

Ordinary people interfered with by this power had almost no possibility of resistance.

But if it were a Caster on the mystical side...

Someone holding an original tome of the same identity might be able to completely resist.

However, for other Casters lower down, the specifics would vary from person to person.

Each person’s spirit will, magic power strength, and mental defenses all varied greatly, making it nearly impossible to draw an accurate distinction.

Take the people from the "Book Study Club," for example.

Mou Li, whose school’s power stemmed from the Caster of "Dream Analysis," seemed naturally capable of breaking free from the influence of "Angel of Authority."

Hal, who was fixated on his own goals, also had a significant probability of breaking free.

But speaking of ordinary researchers...

If they were interfered with by Ronald in battle,

By the time they regained their personal will, the battle would likely have already ended.

Of course, this power could not be indiscriminately abused.

In addition to a five-minute interval between uses, it could only affect a single person each time it was activated.

So, timing it right, Ronald pushed open the mansion gate and walked in.

With the power of "Fury" serving as a humanoid radar, and combining it with Ronald’s physical condition, which far exceeded that of ordinary individuals, he circled the mansion twice and successfully arrived at Rona’s room.

"Volume eleven, page 260, item six."

"..."

Quietly reactivating the lie detector ability, Ronald then knocked on the door.

Bang bang bang—

Rona, sitting inside the room, seemed never to have expected a stranger to visit.

Ronald did not ask any questions, while the young lady assumed it was a family member knocking.

So, the young girl came to the door and opened it:

"Who is it? Come in..."

"Eh?"

Had a burly man appeared at the door, Rona might have shrieked instinctively.

Yet upon seeing a young handsome man...

Could this be someone introduced by her family?

Feeling somewhat resentful that her father hadn’t informed her, Rona quickly composed herself and then asked:

"Sir... may I ask who you are?"

Seeing that the girl in front of him wasn’t planning to scream and call for others, Ronald silently withdrew the ready-to-control "Fury" and extended his right hand to offer a handshake:

"Hello, Ronald."

Rona shook it straightforwardly:

"Hello, I’m Rona."

"It seems our names are quite similar..."

Before the girl finished her polite remark, Ronald directly activated the power of "Angel of Authority":

"Tell me, what is your real identity, and why did you leave Lilac Path Garden this afternoon?"

"..."

Wooden-faced, the girl responded:

"I am Rona Aist."

"The daughter of the Aists, who run the textile business."

"I left Lilac Path Garden because I wanted to go home for afternoon tea."

Ronald felt the power of "Angel of Authority" was still effective.

Clearly, today’s first visit did not yield his intended target.
