Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1075 - 1069: Purpose

"Special methods..."

Upon hearing Ronald's statement, Fisher revealed a smile.

She went to [Lachmont] for something very important, so how could she be constrained by such matters at this moment?

Thus, the young girl almost immediately extended her hand to Ronald:

"Ronald, I'm very glad to meet you."

Seeing her demeanor, Ronald reached out and shook hands with Fisher.

Then he moved past a position and took the initiative to reach the castle gate.

The method Ronald intended to use wasn't complicated—to take out the technique taught by Costate and make an opening in the spell barrier.

So while performing the operation, the true concern lingering in Ronald's mind was Fisher standing behind him.

—Fisher Catrina.

Upon hearing this surname, the identity of the red-haired girl was unmistakably confirmed.

This girl with radiant red hair was undoubtedly connected by bloodline to that Katherine in the [Infinite Negative Fields], and her possession of Saint Catherine's sword further corroborates this.

At this point, Ronald and Fisher's encounter in [Lachmont] made complete sense logically. After all, whether in terms of time or the location they found themselves, both satisfied the necessary conditions for this meeting.

Yet beyond this layer, this identity sparked more associations for Ronald.

Perhaps the historical fragments he experienced in [Lachmont] were all connected to him in some way.

Initially, there was Majie'er, who had friendly relations with the Adler family;

Previously, there was Ormont, loads of documented lore collected outside and found by Ronald;

And now, Fisher Catrina standing before him.

These three individuals were all somehow present within Ronald's knowledge.

And undeniably—had there been minor alterations in the historical fragments' timing, Ronald would likely not have encountered these three.

Perhaps while dealing with outsiders like them.

This vast spell-experiment world perhaps decided which historical node to send individuals based on their circumstances.

"..."

"Fisher, I did it!"

Contemplating these questions, Ronald's actions remained swift indeed.

He swiftly created an opening from the seal on the castle gate, then called for Il and Fisher to enter together.

"Ronald, this is truly an impressive ability!"

Upon seeing Ronald create an opening in the spell barrier of [Lachmont] within seconds, Fisher immediately expressed admiration:

"Among the casters I know—not to say all the current casters in the world, you're probably the only one capable of this."

Ronald humbly returned a smile:

"You flatter me."

"These techniques are just borrowed from others, nothing worthwhile to praise."

"..."

Thus, exchanging humility, the three of them proceeded toward the castle district's interior together.

Having crossed the spell barrier enveloping the entire castle district, their advancement proceeded smoothly without any hindrance.

Just as visible from outside.

The castle district, although still inhabited by dozens of mages, clearly none were specialized in construction work, hence any uninhabited area essentially fell into dilapidation and disrepair.

Fortunately, the castle structures included not just towers but also abundant stone bricks, which maintained the basic architectural framework.

As for defensive spells...

For [Lachmont] now entering a resource scarcity phase, maintaining the spell barrier around the castle was already the most extravagant defensive gesture.

Beyond this, they couldn't undertake any additional protective measures.

Thus, what ultimately appeared before Ronald and the others was seemingly a strongly defended yet internally void abandoned city.

The three continued forward.

Through previous experiences of historical fragments, Ronald was well-familiar with the city's internal structure.

Even though Fisher was entering here for the first time, with Ronald knowing the roads leading them to the castle district's center, it did not take too much of their time.

"Ronald, why did you come to [Lachmont]?"

During this journey, Fisher curiously asked.

Though Ronald had previously been very humble about his ability to break the barrier, the well-traveled Fisher was evidently aware of its power. And possessing such power, how could he be an ordinary person?

Moreover.

In the current era marked by a substantial decline in mystic side spells, Fisher was indeed curious about Ronald's purpose in coming to this city:

"Now, all casters worldwide should be trying to find a suitable city to reside in, striving to secure their place before it becomes overly populatized. A soon-to-be-abandoned place like [Lachmont], few would come here, right?"

"If unnecessary, indeed no one would come here." Ronald nodded in response to Fisher's query.

However, regarding how to explain it to this pleasant young girl, he hesitated about how best to answer.

From the heart, Ronald did not want to deceive this girl who left a good impression. Thus, after hesitating for a few seconds, he ultimately provided an explanation:

"Il and I came to [Lachmont] mainly to seek someone here who holds an original fragment."

"For our companions, and also for ourselves."

"Now there's an unavoidable yet crucial issue, and we need that person to solve it."

Ronald preferred not to speak of seizing the original fragment.

Thus he provided such a somewhat vague yet reasonably truthful answer.

Once finished, he equally curiously questioned the red-haired girl beside him:

"So, Fisher, your reason for coming here?"

Upon hearing this question, Fisher's expression darkened slightly, yet she remained candid in her response:

"As for me, I'm actually looking for my sister."

Ronald expressed curiosity:

"Your sister?"

"Yes, my sister." Fisher nodded gently, then explained, "During the previous great battle, the defeated wizards were sealed in a unique space. By coincidence, my sister was just on Barrier Mountain, which served as the battlefield at that time, hence she was brought into that space together."

"I came to [Lachmont] because Mr. Majie'er of the former council of six should still reside here currently."

"I want him to inquire about the way into that seal."

"Or even if I can't bring my sister out, I hope to find a way to take good care of her."
