Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1058 - 1052: Chosen Location

"..."

Lying on the makeshift long board, Ronald could feel himself being carried by several casters, being transported to the central rear area of [[Larchmont]] castle.

Although the hillside was steep and the city built against the mountain had many steps.

But because it was an order from Archmage Shui, these people were still careful with Ronald. Even though he appeared to be in a stupor, they dared not let Ronald suffer the slightest grievance.

In such circumstances, Ronald was quite moved.

Earlier, suddenly fainting in front of the Tri-Spire — naturally, that was his act.

As for the subsequent casters who came to check his body.

Actually, they were also fooled by Ronald's tricks, deceived by the gene-altering spell of the "Origin of Species," which led to their eventual misjudgment.

It's worth expressing admiration once again for the utility of the "Origin of Species."

If he used ordinary spells to deceive these casters, there was a significant chance they would see right through it. After all, this is [[Larchmont]], where magic theory is advanced, and it's only natural that casters have powerful means of inspection.

Yet, the "Origin of Species" is different.

This spell from the original classic can directly alter the gene of life.

The result of Ronald's modifications was his true constitution. Even if someone did notice something, they would instinctively assume it was some sort of enhancement magic applicable to him, never suspecting these traits were entirely temporary modifications.

After all, how would a normal animal exhibit plant-based life traits?

What's more, Ronald himself also possesses multiple enhancement abilities, which further complicates the inspection.

Thus, believed to have been tricked by Il, Ronald was steadily escorted to the so-called East Tower, directly arriving at a place near the top of the tower.

"What's going on? Is someone injured?"

"I just sensed an evil magic power coming from the southwest, did something happen in the city?"

Feigning unconsciousness, Ronald felt himself being laid on a bed, when a gentle female voice began inquiring about the situation.

And the caster who brought him here immediately replied:

"Miss Sveta, we don't know the specific situation either."

"But listening to the big shots talking, it seems a very evil being from over a decade ago has returned here. The Tri-Spire activated a very secret spell to trap it."

"Ten years ago..."

Upon hearing this description, the owner of the gentle female voice was evidently a little shocked. Her tone indicated that she was different from ordinary casters, aware of or directly experienced that attack ten years ago.

However, even though she realized the crisis of the situation, she quickly shifted her focus back to Ronald.

It seems, in this lady's eyes, saving the wounded is more important than the danger:

"So this young man was harmed by that evil being?"

"That's the situation we heard." The caster who brought Ronald nodded slightly, then continued, "It's an order from Archmage Shui, hoping East Tower here would certainly save this young man."

After finishing, the caster seemed to remember something and added another description:

"He played a very important role in sealing that evil being, saving the innocent people around, and cannot just lose his life like this."

After listening to this description, the gentle female voice indeed became more serious:

"Alright, I understand."

"Now, you all go out first, I'll handle his injuries properly."

Then, the casters who brought Ronald here left the ward one after another.

The footsteps reached Ronald's ears, and soon he heard the owner of that gentle female voice walking to the left side of the room, seemingly looking for something.

"..."

After waiting a few seconds.

Seeing those casters gradually moving away within his perception, Ronald no longer feigned unconsciousness.

He pushed himself up from the sickbed with one hand, immediately seeing a girl in a grass-green robe in the corner on the left side of the room, who was preparing herbal medicine, seemingly ready to treat him.

When Ronald got up, he did not hide his movement.

So the female mage, who was originally preparing medicine, was immediately attracted by the sound:

"Eh?"

"You, you're awake? Lie down immediately! I haven't figured out what's wrong with you yet, moving around carelessly could cause bad results!"

Facing the female mage's concerned yet stern tone, Ronald could only offer a sorry smile.

With emotion-detecting spells as an aid.

He could be sure the female mage in front of him was full of goodwill towards him and cared about his physical condition.

But unfortunately, it's not time to continue acting now.

In the next second, Ronald's command, filled with the power of Dragon Words, echoed throughout the tower:

"My injuries are very serious and need to be strictly sealed for treatment for more than a day, during which no one is allowed to visit."

"Now, go prepare."

"..."

"I understand."

With the conversation ended, Ronald had completed his last finishing touches here.

Although this apparently very young caster was actually a strong individual, simple Dragon Words couldn't fully control her. Ronald also used magic power extraction enhancement magic to achieve his goal.

And as he walked out once more, Ronald, having changed his appearance through spells, was wearing a standard robe "borrowed" from the female mage.

At this moment, the situation in [[Larchmont]] city was somewhat chaotic.

For the people of the city, though Il's attack happened a decade ago, many young people have no memory of it at all. But for a few older individuals, it was an unforgettable significant event, imprinted vividly on their memories.

Hence, as the news spread, numerous casters started converging toward the Tri-Spire, guarding against Il breaking through the spell seal on the tower.

Meanwhile, some began setting up defenses around the city.

Following Archmage Shui's order, they began a thorough inspection for any wizard spies within the city.

Although Ronald wasn't an official resident of [[Larchmont]], with the visitor permit he obtained from Ormont, he navigated the city unimpeded.

Even when occasionally stopped by mages for questioning, his recognized identity spared him many troubles.

Therefore, in a very short time,

Ronald left the city area of [[Larchmont]], then stood upon the eastern beach.

"Beginning with the connection between the whole Earth and the sky, we will start forming our understanding..."

Ronald gently recited the incantation of the "Astronomy Master."

Then rose into the sky.

There's no doubt — from the direction of the mainland returning here, this area is the path for returning to [[Larchmont]].

And in Ronald's plan, the place to intercept Archmage Shui.

Was on this vast sea where no one can interfere.
