Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 76 The Record in the Book

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 The Record in the Book

Ronald selected two books in total, which were the ones he saw at the beginning: "Recommendations for New Investigators" and "Basic Mystical Knowledge."

For him at this moment, these were the most suitable books to read.

Although previously Alyssa had provided him with some pop science on the mystical side, and the great detective had also discussed it briefly, since both conversations were quite loose, the information he received was somewhat one-sided.

Now he had the opportunity to acquire relevant information through formal written records.

Ronald definitely didn’t plan to miss out.

Carrying the two chosen books, Ronald headed toward the door of the file storage room.

"Have you made your selection?"

Hearing Ronald’s footsteps, the old man turned his head and took a look.

When he saw the two books in Ronald’s arms, his face showed an expression of approval.

"You’re quite smart, kid."

"For someone new like you, the first thing you should do is not to aim too high too quickly, don’t be in a rush to get too closely involved with these things."

"You’ve made a good choice, they’re well suited for you."

Without stinginess in praise, the old man picked up a dip pen beside him and wrote down the names of the two books in the ledger in front of him.

The tip of the pen hesitated for a moment, and the old man asked,

"What’s your name again, young man?"

"Ronald."

"Ronald..."

Muttering Ronald’s name, the old man’s pen tip wrote down the name without hesitation, and also clearly marked the borrowing time for each book next to the book titles.

"Okay, you can go down now."

"Just remember not to take the books outside of the investigation bureau,"

he cautioned lastly.

The old man pulled open the drawer in front of him, took out a rather avant-garde album from inside, and then began to look at it with focused attention.

Ronald nodded and then walked downstairs.

The lobby on the first floor of the investigation bureau was still empty at this moment.

Ronald returned to the reception desk with relief and put down "Recommendations for New Investigators," opening "Basic Mystical Knowledge" first.

Revere these demonic originals.

— Stat Robin

Just flipping the cover, a proud sentence is printed on the clean page.

This was the author’s reminder to all mystical side individuals.

On the title page of the book beside it, there was also a brief introduction about this person.

[Stat Robin]

— Male

— Unclear birth and death period

— One of the great pioneers who ended the Dark Age and carved the path for Casters.

— The founder of imprinting technology and the first to disseminate the profession.

— The last holder of the blood of gods.

— Notes summarized by posterity and published as "Basic Mystical Knowledge."

Ronald flipped further.

Passing the introductory table of contents, what followed was the content of the book.

The first Chapter of the book began with a consideration of the power of the originals.

— The originals themselves possess very dangerous powers, so I advise everyone who has the opportunity to come into contact with this ability to think very carefully and to study or practice this power with caution.

Then further on.

The author of this book summarized the basic mystical knowledge of that era and devised a hypothesis that conformed to experimental situations.

Stat Robin believed that there existed in the world a mysterious force that was invisible to the naked eye, inaudible to the ear, untouchable by touch, and undetectable by smell.

At the same time, under some natural rules that had not yet revealed their true identity, these mystical forces spontaneously converged and then transformed into books beyond the comprehension of mankind.

This was the birth of the original texts.

Once the secrets within were successfully deciphered, the possessors of the original texts could wield powers far beyond those of ordinary people. This did not necessarily mean possessing incredibly destructive force, but rather doing things that ordinary people could not achieve with mere human strength.

It’s like flapping your arms with all your might, no matter how hard you try, you can’t fly through the skies like a bird, riding the currents.

A successfully deciphered original text could break that kind of common sense for you.

The most essential thing was that humans could control that imperceptible thing, which various schools described as Magic Power, curse power, Mana, through the original texts as a medium.

Interestingly—

Stat Robin found that the birthplace of the original texts was generally related to their inherent abilities.

For example, an original text related to plant abilities might be born in an ancient jungle, while an original text capable of animal transformation first appeared in the lairs of beasts.

However, obtaining the original text did not mean that power was at hand.

Along with the Herculean task of deciphering them, dangers also followed closely.

It’s not necessary for you to master this forbidden knowledge, merely understanding it suffices.

This intangible and immaterial mystical force would begin subtly effecting certain changes around you.

And such people with this trait, he called them "Seeds."

When the number of "Seeds" reached a certain level, after a period of time, it would trigger the most dangerous event in the world.

—The metamorphosis of the world.

In order to prevent the world they lived in from gradually becoming a bizarre magic realm, Stat Robin called on everyone to guard this secret together and established a set of mystical side rules for the whole world to follow—never let ordinary people become "Seeds" like them.

The book’s discussion regarding the fundamental rules was roughly as such.

What followed was Stat Robin’s research on his own original texts.

Out of a scholar’s mindset, he had no intention of hoarding his knowledge.

According to the unique knowledge passed down from his teacher, Stat Robin learned that exercising this mystical power didn’t necessarily require mastery of the original texts.

By using the power of their school’s original texts to create runes, and then carving out these things, they could evolve into a kind of medium.

Once the medium was completed, at that moment one could inscribe spells from other original texts onto the center of these runes.

—This was the school insignia commonly used in the modern age.

Holding a school insignia, as long as one directly or indirectly saw the original appearance of the original texts and then correctly recited the spells within, the medium would help bridge the relationship between the two, allowing the person in the dark to possess the ability to cast spells.

"Sigh—"

Ronald exhaled.

With a book in hand, he didn’t feel the slightest bit tired, and indeed, he had already spent quite some time.

He turned the page again.

The following content was somewhat legendary in nature.

Including all kinds of magical adventures and perilous experiences through the life journey of this person named Stat Robin.

At the end of that Dark Age.

He could summarize these pieces of knowledge, undoubtedly ranking as one of the most important pioneers on the mystical side of this world.

Click—

Just at that moment, the main door of the Investigation Bureau headquarters was pushed open.

Ronald put down the book in his hand and looked outside following the sound.

Unlike the investigators here in Berlenwich wearing thick coats, five distinctively dressed individuals burst through the door and came straight to him.

Then the man who appeared to be the leader spoke up:

"Hello, we are the support team sent from the Springs headquarters."

"May I ask where Mr. Willard is now?"
