Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1087 - 1081: Night Work

Farewell to the Stargazing Mage.

Ronald and Il continued along the corridor suspended in mid-air, quickly entering the interior through an opening on the side of the castle.

After nightfall, the castle of [Lachmont] did not light any candles.

Spacious, dark, and deathly silent, these were the main auras exuded by the building's interior.

This environment, without much modification, could be directly brought to the screen as a perfect horror movie scene.

Of course, Ronald and Il didn't care about the oppressive feeling brought by the environment.

One of them had powerful spells at their disposal, while the other wasn't even human, so they naturally walked calmly within the castle, continuing toward the middle floors.

It wasn't long before their destination was in sight.

This was one of the few rooms with lights still on at night in the castle, and it was also the laboratory of the great Mage Majie'er, whom they had left in the early evening.

The great Mage's actions were quite thought-provoking.

Even though he already knew he was a mere shadow in the fragments of history, at the brink of this inevitable end,

this wise Mage did not choose to waste time meaninglessly.

Instead, he seized the time to summarize the most valuable parts of his life's research.

So when Ronald and Il knocked and entered,

they found the aged Majie'er carefully moving his bookshelf and drawing out scroll after scroll of documents, placing them on the floor in a strict order.

Ronald took a look.

These scrolls, whether open or closed, even carried inherently very strong spell defenses in some cases.

—Their importance to the great Mage was self-evident.

And near the center, Ronald also found the research on magical essence that he had been extremely interested in.

"Ronald, Il, you've both come?"

At this moment, hearing the noise, Majie'er turned his head, the elderly Mage gently smiled at the two, then turned around, walked to the chair, sat down, and started flipping through the two scrolls he had just pulled out.

"I'm organizing the important research records of my life."

"According to the original plan, the future of this world should not have spells anymore, so these studies and records would lose their meaning. But from the situations of both of you, perhaps my previous thinking was wrong, and these things might be of some use?"

Ronald immediately stepped forward:

"Mr. Majie'er, even if spells truly vanish from the world, your research is absolutely not without meaning."

"With the little information I know, upon seeing your research on magical essence, I realized deeply that the spells of this world hold very precious value in researching certain matters!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Ronald's words were absolutely heartfelt.

Whether it was that old Caster in the real world, or the great Mage Majie'er now before him, their microcosmic research using spells would be incredibly difficult to access in other situations.

Take the Earth before Ronald traversed, for example.

The technology to observe changes in the microscopic domain involved overcoming countless challenges, achieving significant breakthroughs many times, and spending a fortune of astronomical proportions to finally attain results.

And if scientists could grasp the Mages' technology like this...

It would undoubtedly trigger unimaginable massive transformations!

To Ronald's remarks, the elderly Majie'er slightly shook his head, his expression unchanged. He simply picked up the scroll on the nearby chair to clear space and then invited Ronald:

"If you don't mind, come over and let's talk."

Ronald naturally complied with Majie'er's instructions and went over.

But just as he was making his way around the scrolls on the ground, Il couldn't hold back from speaking:

"Boss, while you two are talking, I'll just roam around the castle aimlessly?"

"Hmm?" Ronald raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him.

Before Ronald could speak, Il quickly promised:

"Rest assured! I definitely won't cause trouble in the castle! I promise!"

As his words landed, taking advantage of Ronald's position among the scrolls, Il swiftly dashed out of the door they entered and disappeared in a blink.

"..."

Watching Il's figure vanish into the darkness, Ronald found himself momentarily speechless.

In response to this scene, it was instead the great Mage who comforted Ronald:

"It's fine, there's no need for people to tread carefully around [Lachmont] now."

"Since the child wants to explore, let her wander around."

"You're right." Since the great Mage had spoken, Ronald naturally wouldn't have any objections.

He then continued maneuvering around the scrolls before sitting in the chair beside the great Mage. Glancing at the orderly arranged scrolls around him and considering the current situation, Ronald immediately understood the great Mage's implication:

"You're organizing these scrolls, is it because you want me to help do something?"

The great Mage nodded slightly and then explained his idea:

"The real [Lachmont] has ultimately become a ruin, and with the ravages of endless years, no one can predict how much will be preserved in the city."

Following Majie'er's words, Ronald continued:

"So you plan to impart some knowledge to me and take it to the real world outside?"

Majie'er was very pleased with Ronald's response.

Then this great Mage waved his hand, summoning a scroll from the ground into his hand, and displayed it before Ronald:

"Knowledge and information, they don't exist or are hard to identify as entities, but their carriers are real and tangible. So Ronald, would you be willing to be the driver for this farmer, to transport the goods?"

"I would love to... No, I'm more than willing!" Ronald nodded without hesitation to make the promise, but he then recalled his previous encounters and couldn't help but ask a question, "But Mr. Majie'er, since I came into this world, I've also encountered many people researching the essence of this world."

"Now is a rare opportunity, I want to hear your thoughts on this aspect."

"The essence of the world..." Hearing Ronald's question, Majie'er's gaze became deep.

The elderly great Mage cast his eyes on the scroll in his hand, thoughtfully for a long while before speaking slowly:

"Ronald, I know you come from a different world."

"I cannot guarantee that what I say is absolutely right, nor can I be sure if our two worlds are consistent in underlying logic. But what I'm about to say is the conclusion I have reached as much as possible in my humble life."
