Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 468 - 465: Down-to-Earth Caster

Chapter 468: Chapter 465: Down-to-Earth Caster

Upon meeting a long-unseen friend from the research association, Ronald naturally did not refuse.

Guided by Mou Li, he continued to advance deeper into the castle.

Along the way, as they passed by all sorts of rooms and saw various Casters, with Ronald’s current level of knowledge, he could identify some people’s origins just by their attire.

Supported by the excellent capabilities of the Spring Investigation Bureau.

This place could indeed be considered a paradise for Casters to exchange ideas.

However, on their path forward, Ronald still noticed a place that seemed out of place. There, not only were the Casters few in number, but even the emotions "Fury" sensed there were uniformly downcast.

With an acquaintance acting as a guide right before him, Ronald naturally asked,

"Mou Li, what are they doing over there? It seems like there are especially few people, right?"

"..."

Mou Li turned back to look in the direction Ronald was pointing and immediately recognized the situation there. The girl slowed down her pace slightly and explained to Ronald in a quiet voice:

"That’s an isolated mystical researcher."

"Because most of them have an obstinate character and often concoct impractical theories, people from ordinary schools don’t really think highly of them."

Isolated mystical researchers...

Hearing this explanation, Ronald couldn’t help but cast a curious glance.

Being separated from mainstream mystical researchers meant that these individuals were minimally affected by the outside world. Under such a premise, isn’t it possible that there truly could be a genius overlooked by the mystical community among them?

Mou Li noticed Ronald’s gaze.

Adjusting her pace to an appropriate speed, the girl continued to advise:

"Ronald, it’s best to have as little contact with them as possible. These individuals often pose a danger."

"I see..."

Chatting casually with Mou Li like this, the two of them arrived at their destination within a few minutes—the castle’s great hall.

As the primary gathering space of the White Shore Castle.

In such a mystical gathering, it was naturally the main venue for debates and exchanging scholarly knowledge. A group of solemn Casters sat around, focused intently on listening to a master currently exchanging knowledge about Spells.

Just as Mou Li had said.

The one currently engaged in the discussion was a member of the "Scholar’s Research Association," Oppenheim. The elderly Caster was spirited and emphatic in his speech as he articulated his ideas:

"Whether it’s Magic Power, cursed power, Mana, or Spiritual Power, although these forms of energy possess different characteristics, at their core, they are all unified forces originated from the source."

"If we start from this perspective, our research will inevitably reach the realm of truth, and at that time, many problems will also be resolved along with this breakthrough..."

After Oppenheim finished his piece, he immediately garnered applause that fell like rain from the audience.

The considerable commotion continued for a while before the gathering returned to its serene composure.

At this moment, Oppenheim’s debate opponent prepared to speak.

He was a middle-aged man in a formal robe, adorned with various plant medals on his chest. With a smile, he nodded to everyone present, then slowly began to say:

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I want to declare that Mr. Oppenheim, as one of the leaders of the ’Scholar’s Research Association,’ indeed excels in the study of mysticism and has profound intentions."

"However, regarding this topic, we at ’Secret of Aogen’ also have some rather unique perspectives. The energy of Magic Power that supports our spellcasting has existed for a very long time, and various research on it has always been ongoing."

"But the result?"

"The result is that all this time, no one has ever found the unified point that may exist within this theory!"

"So, rather than aiming for such an overly ambitious goal, we prefer to keep our feet on the ground and research the energies used in our own school of thought. Whether it is in saving physical effort during spellcasting or optimizing speed, these are tangible, real improvements that one can see and touch."

"Today, I am fortunate to come to this gathering and, on behalf of ’Secret of Aogen,’ share with everyone an exhilarating discovery. As long as one follows the special arrangement of Aogen runes, the Magic Power and physical strength consumed in past spellcastings can be somewhat...."

The caster from ’Secret of Aogen’ spoke with confidence, bringing out tangible results from their research.

In less than two minutes, the air at the venue became completely quiet.

Everyone listened intently as he described a technique called ’Elemental Reflow,’ which could significantly save physical strength and Magic Power while also being sustainable for use in combat.

But watching the casters in the room, Ronald couldn’t help but think back to Nicole of Berengaria.

She was a true genius!

With her talent and efforts alone, she could use Prophetic Spells of the original standard without even having the originals. This was not a case of granted spells like Claudia’s; to achieve such outrageous results, Nicole’s true potential was probably beyond any caster Ronald had ever seen.

And before joining the Spring Investigation Bureau, Nicole was a caster from ’Secret of Aogen’!

Thinking of this, Ronald subconsciously let out a sigh,

"’Secret of Aogen’ ah...."

Mou Li was quite proactive.

Hearing Ronald’s quiet sigh, she immediately asked,

"Ronald, are you very interested in this school of thought?"

Ronald nodded generously,

"I used to know a friend who came from ’Secret of Aogen.’ Among all kinds of people I’ve met, she was indeed the one with the most outstanding talent and ability."

Hearing Ronald’s introduction, a glimmer of gloom shadowed Mou Li’s eyes.

"It’s her, huh...."

The two’s quiet discussion did not affect the progress of the caster’s debate.

After several minutes of fundamental analysis and a look into the future, a somewhat speechless outcome emerged.

The caster from ’Secret of Aogen’ who had seemed so grounded in his presentation,

Made an even more down-to-earth choice in action.

He finished his speech and pulled out a wooden token from beneath his robe, then loudly said to the surrounding audience,

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the research outcome derived from the ’Elemental Reflow’ technique. I am now planning to distribute it to the casters present for practical testing. If you find it to be a very reliable magical equipment, you can later purchase it at the forest hut we operate!"

Is... is this a sales pitch?

Watching the caster’s actions, Ronald, who had been conversing with Mou Li, suddenly froze.

The image of the speaker, so carefully shaped, crumbled in that instant.

However, it was at that moment that the caster from ’Secret of Aogen’ noticed Ronald’s peculiar expression and immediately flashed him a bright smile,

"This gentleman seems very curious, why don’t you give it a try!"
