Chapter 467: Chapter 464 Gathering and Exchange

Fury was an accidental product of the original spell.

Encountering a gathering of such mysterious and significant figures who were also exchanging summoned creatures, it would only make sense to get involved.

After all, given the situation,

it represented an opportunity for her to explore her own origins.

So, two nights later, Ronald left his apartment alone and headed for the outskirts of Spring City.

While it was highly likely that Fury would attend the gathering, it certainly wasn’t a guaranteed outcome.

Thus, Heloise decided not to accompany Ronald but instead planned to continue her activities in the city.

The weather was clear that night.

Stars and moon hung together in the sky, and the air felt cooler than during the day.

Venturing out alone on such a night, as Ronald left the city’s idle zones, he casually activated the "Lunar Eclipse" spell from "Astronomy Master" to test the power enhancements the ability could bring.

Bang!

At the very start of the experiment, Ronald first attempted a jump with all his might.

The result was an unbelievable, exaggerated leap.

Although the enhancement brought by "Lunar Eclipse" was not as strong as the triple enhancement of "Divine Comedy," it was still much more potent than a single enhancement; the combined effects allowed him to clear more than ten meters in a single bound, achieving the results of a long jump in what was supposed to be a standing jump!

"This..."

He glanced back at the road behind him involuntarily and was astonished by his own ability.

Although no one could be seen in the outskirts at night, it would be better to pay more attention to the surroundings during subsequent physical tests.

Gradually drifting away from Spring City’s district,

Ronald’s well-managed surveillance range finally proved fruitful.

Several kilometers to the northeast of Spring City, the Wis River reached its widest point beyond the mouth of the sea. And in the center of the river, hundreds of meters wide was a castle with a gray façade, situated on an island.

Human activity traces detected by the power of ’Fury’ were currently inside the castle.

This was "White Shore Castle."

Ronald had heard of this building’s fame before but had never seen it with his own eyes until now.

Several hundred years ago, in the ancient days, a dangerously mysterious power emerged within the borders of the Gride Kingdom. To ensure safety, the rulers at the time built this castle under the pretense of a ’plague’ and relocated the then-small population of Spring City here.

After dealing with the issue, the residents of the castle were moved out.

Under these special circumstances, this castle was awarded by the royal Gride family to a very powerful prince of the time to serve as a base for the royal branch.

Until today, the actual owner of the castle chose to move away from this location and began to run the castle as an industry. Many events not suitable for Spring City were also hosted here.

Just like this gathering of the mystical side, the decision was made considering these factors.

Standing by the Wis River at night, Ronald gazed at the brilliantly lit castle in the river and could not help but nod and reflect,

"This business sense is quite strong..."

In this era, choosing to commercialize the operation of a castle was truly innovative.

Not only did Gride lead into the Industrial Revolution under the queen’s rule,

but even individuals from the royal branch were at the forefront of their times in certain areas.

Contemplating the differences between Earth and this world,

Ronald approached the castle’s riverside entrance where two investigators and a priest from the church were currently standing at the door, welcoming all the visitors.

Before setting off today, Ronald had, through his connections with the Ginkgo Leaf Commerce Guild, inquired about the information for this gathering. To participate in the event, one did not need an invitation or a ticket of any sort, any caster of the mystical side could attend.

Moreover, thanks to the strict control of time by the Investigation Bureau.

This place also wouldn’t succumb to an ’alteration of the world’ due to excessive numbers of people.

"Mr. Ronald?"

"Will you be taking that into the venue?"

Strolling onto the castle’s drawbridge with ease, an investigator and a priest asked entirely different questions.

What startled the investigator was the arrival of Ronald, the owner of the original tome.

Whereas the priest’s eyes were steadfastly fixed on the Saint Catherine’s Sword wrapped in black cloth behind Ronald.

Nodding to the three people in front of him, Ronald asked with a smile,

"Is it not permitted to bring weapons to the gathering today?"

"Not at all, weapons are naturally allowed to be carried," the priest immediately shook his head and denied, but his gaze still lingered on the relic of the saint, "However, there are often disputes at such gatherings, so please exercise appropriate restraint."

"Rest assured, I am a peace-loving individual."

Ronald could fully understand the priest’s concerns.

Being the owner of the original tome himself and carrying Saint Catherine’s Sword, a treasure of such kind, indeed made him a very hard to control, unstable factor at the gathering. Hence, after expressing his non-hostile intentions, he then slowly walked toward the interior of the castle.

Crossing the drawbridge and stepping onto the soil of the isle in the river, Ronald slightly lifted his head to look up.

Except for the investigators and priests working at the entrance.

Every certain distance along the defensive works around the castle, one could also spot these individuals; their high regard for this gathering was thereby evident.

Passing through the outer part of the castle and entering the main passage that led to the great hall.

On his way, Ronald came across many casters of extraordinary presence, and not a few entirely different from the dressing habits of Spring City, accompanied by the convergence of people from all over within the city, everything of the mystical side was also changing...

"Ah, Ronald?"

While surveying his surroundings and moving forward,

A faint voice called out from a corridor on the side of the castle.

Turning his body to look in that direction, Ronald saw an acquaintance with whom he had once worked, now approaching him with a delighted expression.

— It was Mou Li.

— From the Book Research Club.

— Mou Li, who used spells related to "Dream Analysis"!

His mind racing, Ronald quickly understood her purpose for being here.

The Book Research Club, an entity specializing in the research of the mystic side, would naturally not let such an excellent chance for exchange slip by. For Mou Li, a powerful caster within the group, it made complete sense to be here.

With a friendly smile on his face, Ronald soon said:

"Mou Li, what are you doing here alone?"

"I came here with Mr. Oppenheimer and the others. The debate about some spells just now was quite heated, so I took the opportunity to come out for some fresh air."

Whether it was the long time since their last meeting or something else,

today, after encountering Ronald, the normally reserved Mou Li was unusually talkative. Having explained her purpose, she even took the initiative to invite him:

"Ronald, would you like to come and watch the club’s debate?"

"This high-level debate will certainly yield some insights if observed!"
