Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Majie'er's research has reached this level?

Before entering this room, Ronald had treated this mission as a routine exploration of ruins, without giving it any special consideration.

Who would have thought that in just a few minutes, this mission would completely change his perception?

The last time Ronald encountered a caster researching this field was back in Springs, and the elderly man named Xiang was merely attempting to observe without delving further into research.

But Majie'er…

This original holder from the Dark Age not only observed but also successfully isolated the smallest structures and manifested them in the real world, and even studied their structures.

Such an extraordinary ability, it is truly unbelievable.

Based on currently available information, Ronald believes that when magic power is separated to the extreme, it reveals its fundamental structure as the essence of the world's composition, and Majie'er's research confirms this point.

As long as the amount of information is sufficiently large and the structure sufficiently complex, it can reveal unique and magical abilities.

Isn't this the essence of spellcasting ability?

Moreover, looking at Majie'er's isolated results, the two categories of "bright" and "dark" magical elements directly in front of him can be applied to rules like positive and negative, 0 and 1, yin and yang.

These things run deeper and deeper.

Ronald could hardly restrain his excited emotions.

As for this so-called Dark Age…

Ronald felt that this term was somewhat inappropriate. Think of Hopes, Start, and Majie'er in front of him, and even the wizard of Barrier Mountain that Ronald defeated.

With so many heroic figures, it might as well be called the Mythical Era!

As Ronald was feeling overwhelmed with emotions, Majie'er obviously couldn't empathize. After tidying up his experiment table, he looked curiously at Ronald but didn't ask any questions.

This holder of the original from the past.

He simply followed along with their earlier conversation and continued to ask his questions:

"Ronald, tell me about your experiences in detail."

"Before making any judgments, I want to understand what this supposed time travel is all about, and how much of it is reality and how much is illusion."

This question was originally Ronald's purpose.

Now that Majie'er had proactively asked, he naturally responded immediately:

"Here's the situation: the era in which Il and I live is several hundred years into the future. Right now, the world is undergoing tremendous changes. We set sail with a fleet and arrived at [Nicos], which is adjacent to where [Lachmonte] once stood…"

The negotiation now was crucial, and Ronald didn't want anything to lead to unexpected results or misunderstandings. So from the beginning of the entire matter, he recounted his experiences in detail and even included some of his observations in [Nicos].

At first, as Majie'er listened to this content, he remained calm and composed.

Having been shocked by the "time travel" information earlier, he naturally felt he could accept whatever Ronald had to say, even if it sounded like the ravings of a lunatic, he could laugh it off.

But hearing the term "Lachmonte ruins" changed things.

As the story continued to unfold,

Majie'er's expression gradually grew more serious, and eventually, he couldn't change his expression even as Ronald finished recounting the entire tale. He stood there with a furrowed brow, unmoving.

"…"

The atmosphere in the slightly dim room grew increasingly tense.

Ronald held great respect for Majie'er, so he waited for the latter to make his final decision.

Normally, this kind of wait could last a while.

But today, Ronald wasn't alone.

After just about ten seconds, Il, who had followed Ronald, couldn't help but lean in. This guy had learned from previous experiences and whispered closely into Ronald's ear:

"Boss, isn't all this too overwhelming for him?"

"Il, you don't…" Ronald immediately wanted Il to keep quiet.

But before he could finish his admonishment, Majie'er moved first.

"The little one is right; this news is indeed hard to believe. If it were someone else standing here, they probably wouldn't believe your claims."

"…"

Ronald noticed something.

When Majie'er responded, his expression was somewhat forlorn, and his actions afterward confirmed this point.

After a brief response, Majie'er reached out to pull out his chair.

He leaned back into the chair with fatigue and then, with a bitter smile, continued:

"But today it's me standing here, someone who just happens to believe your story."

Before Majie'er could finish his sentence, he immediately shook his head, denying himself:

"No, the me here cannot be called a person; I'm a silhouette of history."

"The real me should have long passed away with the passage of time?"

Majie'er's attitude now was truly difficult to fathom.

Ronald looked at his forlorn demeanor, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to continue advancing the topic:

"Mr. Majie'er, you…"

"Ronald, I know what you want to ask." Although Majie'er was mentally weary, he remained positive in conversation. After Ronald began to speak, even before he asked the question, Majie'er revealed the truth himself, "I believe you and do not doubt your identity now."

"Because the only thing that could achieve such a result is my original text."

"…"

Ronald remained silent in response to Majie'er's reply.

He had suspected this outcome from the beginning.

Before entering the barrier, Ronald had already discovered that the magic power center of the entire ruin was located within Majie'er's study, centered around the original text. Ronald and Il had come here precisely to probe into this original text and find a possible solution to the problem.

And now, the person himself was present.

After hearing these conclusions, it would be truly unbelievable if Majie'er, as the holder of the original, failed to react!

"…"

There was another moment of silence.

Ronald pondered how to approach asking Majie'er about the method to resolve the situation, considering the shock caused by the previous conversation. He didn't think it wise to speak directly.

Meanwhile, Il, standing behind Ronald, refrained from speaking freely as before, given the gravity of the moment.

Time seemed to freeze in the room.

Several minutes passed again, and Majie'er once more broke the silence.

The ancient original holder suddenly waved his hand, pulling two chairs behind Ronald and Il, then invited them with a weak smile:

"Ronald, could you tell me about everything that happens in the future?"

"Even though I'm just a remnant shadow left behind in history, I'm really curious about these things."

"This... let's consider it my last curiosity."
