Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1084 - 1078: The Archmage’s Advice

In the laboratory with only two people, Ronald recounted some of the more important events since his time travel, in chronological order. It also included some of his subjective speculations.

This storytelling took quite a bit of time.

And the result was that even after these stories were finished being told, Majie'er, the grand mage in front of Ronald, could not immediately absorb it all.

The old grand mage stood in place, pondering seriously.

He even repeatedly verified the logic of Ronald's stories in his mind.

Ultimately, he had to admit.

Perhaps there were some flaws in Ronald's lengthy narrative, but the overall structure made sense.

Could these incredible events very likely belong to real future occurrences?

Majie'er clearly did not think anyone would play such a joke on him.

Then, thus, the result became apparent.

"If everything is indeed as you say…"

Spoke the aged Majie'er in a quite cautious tone:

"Then the origin of your current body, I cannot speculate on just here."

"However, you might want to ask Costate. She, too, has lived from this era until your time, and considering the care Hops has for her, Costate must also know these things."

Ronald nodded slightly to indicate understanding.

Just as Majie'er said, even if things were unclear now, once out of the historical cycle, he could ask Costate, and the truth would naturally reveal itself.

So what is more important at this moment are some issues Ronald finds hard to get an explanation for:

"Then Mr. Majie'er, about this original tome that might have caused my travel to this world, what is your opinion?"

As he spoke, Ronald took out the two original tomes he had painstakingly collected and then also revealed the diary he had always carried with him.

The time was flexible at the moment, and the surrounding situation did not contain any urgent matters.

Majie'er, in this age, was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable and wise person Ronald had encountered since his travel, regarding all mysterious phenomena.

To get a definitive answer to this question.

Undoubtedly, right now is the perfect opportunity!

"..."

"Hmm, it is indeed this one…"

Standing opposite Ronald, Majie'er took the diary handed over to him.

The elderly man used his withered fingers to stroke the surface of the diary, and with a slightly reminiscent gaze, where the diary met his fingers, it slowly emitted some dust-scented magic fluctuation.

In this subtle way, after confirming the truth of the diary in hand, Majie'er immediately returned it to Ronald, and then explained:

"Ronald, this is indeed an original tome, and it was the foundation upon which Hops established himself. His title 'Generalist' comes from this. If I guessed correctly—"

"You should possess the ability to understand all languages, without any obstacle in writing or reading, correct?"

——Linguistic comprehension! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This was the vital ability Ronald had possessed and relied on for quite some time since his journey.

He used his linguistic comprehension to communicate normally with people in this world, and also depended on this ability to interpret various types of original tomes with unfamiliar characters.

Through Majie'er's explanation at this moment.

Ronald finally confirmed everything.

It turned out his linguistic comprehension ability indeed came from this diary, concealing its true nature, which also accompanied him to this day as the original tome!

"..."

Ronald was momentarily speechless.

However, standing opposite him, Majie'er clearly saw the complex expression on Ronald's face.

The elderly grand mage knew how much of a shock this would be for Ronald.

Thus he merely smiled slightly and continued explaining while Ronald was in a daze:

"By the way, this should still be Hops' greatest secret. If not for the small stories I had with him in the past, even with the relationship between the two of us, this matter would definitely remain unknown."

"Ronald, by bringing out this original tome in front of me, it indeed provides me a reason to believe your previous words."

Hearing this, Ronald slowly spoke:

"Then regarding the truth of this original tome…"

This time before Ronald could finish, Majie'er shook his head immediately:

"As far as I know, its ordinary spell only comprises the linguistic comprehension ability. As for the complete technique… to be safe, I do not advise you to uncover its true nature."

"Indeed, you can seize the opportunity to master a very powerful ability, perhaps even unify all your original tomes by it. But once you break this balance—remember the enigmatic travel that still confounds you?"

"Such phenomena likely have strong connections with the true capability of this original tome. If you engage in such behavior, it might cause the 'cause' of your arrival in this world to disappear as well. Therefore, I truly can't guarantee what will happen."

Majie'er's speech was heartfelt, showing clear concern for Ronald.

Ronald knew to accept the advice given by this wise elder.

Currently, the spells he possessed were entirely sufficient, and there was no need to take a risk for a complete technique. Consequently, Ronald nodded gently and tucked the diary back close to himself.

"In that case, I will ensure its condition is not damaged"

"Besides, do you know anything about Lumil, who shares a name with Mr. Hops' wife?"

Majie'er shook his head more straightforwardly:

"Regarding Lumil, I truly do not know. If you wish to learn its truth, you may only gain clarity by seeking out the remnants of the [Nine Commandments Conference] who know the inside story."

At this point in the conversation, both parties acknowledged each other's identities and had reached a consensus.

After explaining the two questions.

The elderly Majie'er naturally took the lead in the conversation and continued speaking to Ronald:

"Ronald, I also know what the last of the three original tomes you need is."

"That is actually the original tome held by my student Ormont."

"Just as the historical fragments you experienced happened to send you to the most suitable time and place, this child Ormont will come to Lachmont tomorrow night, and with me, initiate the first step of this historical cycle experiment. At that time, I will help you acquire that original tome."

"As for this period—if you do not mind the castle's dilapidation, you can wait here in peace."
