Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1085 - 1079: Strolling atop the Tower

And so, Ronald stayed in Majie'er's tower.

Now having the support of this great Mage and avoiding a potential conflict, why wouldn't Ronald be willing to wait a while longer?

The only surprise was that Fisher also chose to stay in Lachmont.

Although she didn't find a way from Majie'er to rescue her sister from the "Infinite Negative Realm," this young girl, who has traveled the world, understands how precious the opportunity to be accepted by this city is, and naturally she wouldn't give it up.

So that very night.

In the guest room next to where Ronald and Il were resting, Fisher slept soundly.

"..."

"Boss, is Fisher asleep now?"

"I heard it. Two minutes ago, her breathing became long and rhythmic, obviously she's in good health."

"So, boss, should we do something? We can't really just sleep here, right?"

"Get up, let's walk around the castle."

In the pitch-dark room where the lights were out, the conversation between Ronald and Il broke the silence.

Seconds later, accompanied by the rustling sounds of dressing, Ronald and Il soon left the room and began to stroll within the tower.

Ronald's energy was enough to sustain him without sleep for a long time.

As for Il beside him—he was essentially a creature who could choose not to sleep if he didn't want to.

With an opportunity to spend a day in this city long lost to history, no matter how dull they were, they couldn't waste time on inexplicable sleep.

Ascending the path of the tower.

Ronald and Il followed the corridor of the tower to a sky bridge.

Majie'er's mage tower wasn't in the same location as the laboratory. They needed to bypass the bridge set in mid-air to enter the main body of the castle connected to it.

At this moment, while strolling, a beautiful sight surrounded their view.

This city, caught in a loop of history, was as quiet as a sleeping child. Under the guard of the vast stars, it made no sound, only occasionally stirred by the waves hitting the island's surroundings, gently rocking its cradle.

Quietly feeling the night in Lachmont.

Although Ronald had been here during the two previous historical cycles, it became a unique experience.

Especially in this period of Lachmont, the layers of defensive spells surrounding the entire city had vanished completely. Walking in this city without pondering the mystic side felt as relaxing as tourists resting on an island.

There was no battle, no enemies, nor any need for constant vigilance against danger.

Instead, there was a serene city bathed in the glow of countless stars and architectural designs revealing a unique beauty amidst ruin.

Thus appreciating Lachmont's broken yet beautiful nightscape.

Ronald and Il bypassed the semicircular sky bridge outside the tower and then re-entered the main building pathways of the castle area.

But after only a few steps, Ronald's sleeve was tugged by Il.

"Hey, boss, look ahead!"

Ronald looked in the direction Il pointed.

On a high point on the left of the corridor, an unfamiliar mage stood on the lookout tower there.

More precisely, this mage stood within a lookout tower at a relatively high position in the entire castle area, and in front of him was an upward-tilted tube, one end pointing directly at the stars in the sky.

Ronald easily recognized the purpose of this object.

It was likely an early-formed telescope, and the mage standing there at night was naturally observing the stars!

"Oh? So you are the honored guests of the great Mage?"

At this moment, the mage, who was alone watching the stars, also noticed Ronald and Il approaching.

Since Majie'er had already informed the remaining mages nearby the castle about them, he naturally wore a welcoming expression:

"Coming here so late, are you two also planning to observe this mysterious and unfathomable starry sky?"

Faced with the mage's friendly attitude, Ronald naturally returned the gesture with a smile:

"We're a bit sleepless tonight, so we're wandering around the castle. If I'm not mistaken, this tool should be used for looking into the stars above, right?"

"You're absolutely right!" The mage was quite impressed with Ronald's ability to identify the telescope's function, so he immediately stepped forward, inviting Ronald and Il up to the open lookout tower, "The principle of this thing is very simple. Look at these two curved pieces of glass; their principle is similar to viewing an image magnified through a drop of water..."

As the mage explained his stargazing tool, Ronald gradually discovered some peculiarities. At first glance, the telescope appeared to be merely an optical device, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that some runes were engraved within.

In other words, this was actually a treasure infused with mystic technology.

Far from an ordinary telescope!

"..."

Ronald felt a slight surprise in his heart, then leaned over to look through the eyepiece—what appeared was an immensely wide arc of light!

At this moment, Ronald was seeing the rings of a planet!

Though the image was somewhat blurry, the imaging effect wasn't too poor. This telescope, enhanced by mystic technology, truly achieved excellent observational results.

A picture of this quality was absolutely beyond what an ordinary telescope could achieve!

"Sir, beautiful, isn't it?"

At this point, the mage standing nearby spoke.

The telescope had originally been stationed there for his use and adjustments.

The mage naturally understood what kind of scenery Ronald would see through the eyepiece.

With a confident smile, he continued explaining:

"What you're seeing now is actually the rings of the sixth moon of our galaxy. Though it looks like just a luminous band, it's filled with countless rocks, some of which are as large as this castle we're in!"

Hearing this, Ronald couldn't help but praise:

"This telescope, truly impressive technology."

"Haha, take a look over there." The mage was evidently pleased with Ronald's attitude, so he actively helped Ronald adjust the telescope with mystic technology, while also introducing other interesting things in the starry sky, "This here is the Eye of Edros. It has been regarded as the guardian deity of sailors from more primitive times until now..."

Thus, under the mage's guidance, Ronald began to observe the extraterrestrial night sky.

After spending quite a bit of time, he finally broke out of this gratifying and curiosity-satisfying moment, and turned back to ask the mage beside him:

"By the way, your main purpose for observing these celestial bodies here is?"

Upon hearing this question, the mage's expression shifted, and he replied with a very serious tone:

"Actually, I am a Stargazing Mage."

"Although Lachmont has now fallen, as an apprentice studying such spells, I can't choose to give up so easily!"
