Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 392 - 389 Change

Chapter 392: Chapter 389 Change

Language Comprehension.

This relates to many of Ronald’s experiences and could even be said to be the foundation of his standing.

The ability that had persisted from after his trials until now.

If one regarded it as a type of continuous spell, then everything made sense.

As for Ronald Adler’s diary.

After retrieving the hidden ’diary’ from the bookshelf, Ronald returned to his desk to pour himself a cup of tea.

The diary lay quietly on the desk.

Ronald calmly sipped the hot tea from his cup.

"It feels like time..."

"To test what you truly are."

Muttering softly, Ronald began to manipulate his Magic Power to converge into a thin stream, then he touched the seemingly normal diary.

This was a technique he had learned from the great witch.

Through minimal contact with Magic Power and catalysis, many things that hid their true nature would display an unstable state, an effect sometimes unachievable through direct spell attacks.

Next, something occurred that was both anticipated by Ronald yet slightly different.

When the Magic Power contacted the diary, no change was observed between them.

It was as if the diary itself had no trace of Magic Power.

However, a few seconds later, Ronald began to feel a sensation.

Although there was no external change in the diary, it seemed that some power within was attempting to communicate with him.

This feeling was ancient and profound...

As if deep within the modern appearance of the diary, something was still sealed inside.

"..."

"A seal?"

Feeling this change, Ronald’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Just a few hours ago, he had been searching for various documents from the Dark Age in the library, and he had a superficial understanding of the ancestors of the Adler family.

If this seal was left by that person.

His hasty action to open it could be quite reckless.

"..."

Without saying a word, Ronald withdrew his Magic Power and stopped his actions.

He was now 90% sure that the true nature of this diary was a sourcebook, and it was the source of his Language Comprehension abilities. And truly unlocking this sourcebook held a high possibility of gaining new abilities.

But, what about the risks?

That man, Hopes, who dedicated his life to changing the world and chose to retire in his old age, had chosen to seal this sourcebook.

If Ronald carelessly broke the seal and triggered some consequences.

This definitely wasn’t a matter to be taken lightly.

Reevaluating himself.

Whether it was defense, offense, tracking, control, or long-distance raiding, Ronald now possessed a well-rounded set of capabilities.

Receiving a new ability at this time would be like icing on the cake, not a lifeline in dire need.

Ronald himself was not the type obsessed with the pursuit of power.

After organizing his thoughts, Ronald made a decision and then returned the diary to its original place.

Whether or not to break the seal.

He would wait until he returned to his ancestral home to conduct further investigations.

————

Although quite crucial information was obtained in the hidden library, Ronald’s habit of loving to read had not changed.

Early the next morning, he brought breakfast, as usual, to the Spirit Triad Hermitage.

Prepared to review the books in the library as he always did.

The church’s library was diverse and comprehensive, only organizations like the "Scripture Research Society" could compare.

This was definitely better than the data provided by the commercial guilds.

However, not long into the church area, Ronald noticed that it seemed to be under martial law.

Not to mention the patrol police responsible for blocking the roads.

In the more hidden corners, Ronald directly spotted a few figures from the Springs Investigators.

What was happening?

Ronald was puzzled but did not stop to ask ordinary people on the street.

Seeing the direct involvement of the Investigations Bureau, this was a mysterious side event, and casually asked information would not be useful.

Thus, he turned.

He quickly finished the remaining bread in his hands and directly came to sit next to a man reading a newspaper on a street bench; "Fury" was very clearly marked, indicating he was an investigator responsible for surveillance.

"Sir, what happened here?"

"Last night, the internal part of the church was attacked by unidentified persons, even a priest died."

"What we’ve told the public is that last night a few guys driving a new type of car lost control and crashed into the church causing not inconsiderable damage, and today we need to investigate the reason in detail."

Seeing that it was Ronald, the investigator’s demeanor was very candid.

Lowering his voice but still with a smile on his face, he casually explained the situation to Ronald under the guise of a casual chat.

"Mr. Ronald, I know you were headed to the church."

"If you find anything, please be sure to inform my colleagues."

"I understand," Ronald rose from the bench to leave.

In the eyes of an investigator, a possessor of an original text with scouting capabilities indeed had a high probability of noticing details that ordinary people couldn’t.

From the perspective of a good citizen.

If Ronald indeed made some discoveries, he would certainly inform the investigators on the scene.

After the simple negotiation, he entered the blocked area of the church district, and away from the dwellings of ordinary people, he saw no more civilians.

Apart from the guards patrolling the streets, one could occasionally see church personnel rushing around.

The church had been attacked, even a priest had died.

This was a severe incident on the mystical side.

And on the public front, the church having so many deaths at once couldn’t possibly be a minor issue.

However, the actual site of the incident was in a different direction from Ronald’s destination—the Spirit Triad Hermitage. So before trying to assist the Investigations Bureau, Ronald still planned to make a trip to the Hermitage first.

After all, he had been coming here punctually every day this week.

It would be prudent to explain his arrival today, considering the circumstances.

But just as he entered the gate of the Hermitage, a young girl in a long robe collided face-to-face with Ronald. She looked hurried and held something wrapped in white cloth in her arms.

After the collision, the girl did not hesitate.

She quickly gave a church salute to Ronald and immediately walked on:

"Mr. Ronald, we all have our tasks today."

"If it’s about reading, it’s the same as before, just take care of yourself."

"..."

Ronald immediately stopped her:

"If it’s about the situation outside, maybe I could come along and see?"

"I’ve disturbed so much here, it would only be right for me to offer my help if possible."

"..."

The young nun stopped.

She turned back and looked at Ronald, whose face was full of goodwill, then decided within a few seconds:

"Come along."

"Then please be a bother to you."
