Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1313 - 1307: Suspicious Person

Ronald considered himself a reasonable person.

It wasn't because he truly couldn't argue with the other party that he finally decided to stay at the summoned creatures' camp.

In the end, under Lama's warm invitation and Catherine's uncompromising attitude, Ronald gave up the 'not so urgent' city reconnaissance and decided to stay at the summoned ones' camp to enjoy the banquet prepared with enthusiasm for them.

Considering the resources consumed for the banquet, wastefulness was not something to be encouraged.

On the other hand, as the price for Ronald's compromise.

Catherine also promised him that they would leave immediately after the banquet to continue their task.

...

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

But before the banquet began, Ronald had some doubts in his mind.

Why was it that Lama, who initially avoided them, suddenly pursued them eagerly, even inviting them to a banquet?

By the time lunch officially began, this question naturally found its answer.

— It was because of the responsibility Lama bore.

As one of the high-ranking members of the Summoner Alliance, the Great Demon not only enjoyed rights and various conveniences but also needed to fulfill some necessary duties.

For example, now he had to ensure that Ronald would attend this banquet.

This way, other summoned creatures in the city, who rushed to the banquet upon hearing news of Ronald and Catherine's visit, wouldn't return disappointed.

The purpose of the summoned creatures was simple: to be able to befriend these two holders of nearly the highest level of original classics in the human world.

This special status of theirs...

To be blunt, even if they couldn't form a friendship, just becoming somewhat familiar with them was already practically beneficial to them.

Thus, the banquet commenced warmly and proceeded smoothly.

After all, hosting Ronald and Catherine, they put in a lot of effort into this affair.

Not only were the food and drinks of the highest gourmet quality.

Even the performance at the center of the banquet was tailored to please Catherine, with singers continuously performing.

Under such a harmonious and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Besides dealing with the visitors who came over to greet him, Ronald, to be honest, was quite enjoying it.

"Hmm?!"

Then, the problem arose just like that.

Although he was indulging in gourmet food and frequently dealing with people who came to greet him, Ronald didn't let his guard down at the banquet.

With such vigilance, he noticed a rather unusual situation.

In the southeast corner of the banquet, where the entrance to the hall was.

A summoned creature with completely human features entered, and his eyes quickly locked onto Ronald and Catherine.

This should have been someone coming over to connect — Ronald initially thought.

But soon, he realized he was wrong.

Because this summoned creature did not come forward. He merely stood there, confirming Ronald's identity, with a look of shock and malice in his eyes, then quickly left the entrance without hesitation.

Such a reaction and behavior, saying this guy had no issues was almost impossible!

"From the perspective of the relationship between the entire earth and sky, our understanding begins to form..."

Amidst the clinking and greeting, Ronald quietly chanted a spell.

Several spells from the "Astronomy Master" were simultaneously activated, marking him on the already activated [Astrolabe] and [Celestial Globe] spells without alerting that guy.

Ronald's thoughts were very considerate.

He was willing to save face for these friendly summoned creatures who warmly hosted him.

So he didn't use any rough action to interrupt the joyous banquet.

Instead, he marked the suspicious guy in this way, planning to deal with it after the banquet was over.

"Mr. Ronald, you should be quite satisfied with the banquet we prepared, right?"

At this moment, Lama came forward to offer his attentions to Ronald.

The Great Demon knew how awful Catherine's nature could be, so he didn't spend effort on her but instead focused his energy directly on Ronald.

Upon hearing this inquiry.

Thinking of the guy he just marked, a smile immediately appeared on Ronald's face:

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

"And Lama, I really gained quite a lot from this banquet!"

The Great Demon heard the subtlety in Ronald's words but couldn't understand, so he could only raise his glass with a puzzled expression:

"Ah?"

...

After the banquet ended, two hours had passed entirely.

Bidding farewell to Lama and these summoned creatures, Catherine, following their agreement, obediently left the camp of the summoned ones with Ronald.

However, despite this, the Astrology Tower Master's face still showed disappointment.

She really liked this place.

If there were no other matters in the coming days, Catherine would most likely come over to hang out with these interesting summoned ones.

Facing Catherine with such an expression, Ronald tentatively asked:

"Catherine, do you feel bored?"

"Do you even need to ask!" Catherine rolled her eyes at Ronald, "Compared to wandering aimlessly in the city, dealing with these odd folks is definitely more fun!"

Seeing Catherine's reaction, Ronald then revealed a mysterious smile:

"Don't be in such a rush, I actually have an interesting task right now."

"Oh?" Catherine heard the subtlety in Ronald's tone, her previously bored eyes lighting up with interest, "Ronald, did you discover something special at the banquet?"

Without continuing to keep her guessing, Ronald directly said:

"It's not something that can be simply summarized as special."

"While I was dealing with those folks at the banquet, a small interlude happened in a corner as everything proceeded as usual..."

Ronald recounted the situation he saw at the banquet.

Hearing this, Catherine immediately tossed aside her earlier regret, showing an expression as if she wanted to drag Ronald and dash away:

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry! We can't let them slip away!"

"If the remaining three days go by like this, even I would definitely feel bored!"

Ronald gently shook his finger.

Imitating a spellcasting technique he'd seen before, he used magic power to create a simple tracking map:

"Don't worry, I marked his location."

"As long as I don't cancel the spell, he won't escape our tracking!"
