Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 785: Regretful Torrex


Negative energy particles generating flames?

Hearing this term, Ronald's brain briefly crashed.

A Divine Artifact related to the mystical side had connections with negative energy particles?

Even if this was the Sea of Vacuum, it still…

Seemed to match?

After experiencing an indescribable turmoil in his heart, Ronald decided not to eavesdrop outside anymore and boldly pushed the door open, entering the conference room.

He looked around.

Everyone sitting here came into his view.

Around a long table, Edward sat alone at the head, while representatives from the other six Sea Cities were seated on both sides, each with their guards standing behind them.

In comparison,

Edward sitting alone at the head seemed somewhat 'lonesome.'

"This is…"

Due to Ronald's sudden intrusion, the participants naturally turned their gazes toward him.

However, Ronald wasn't too concerned about that.

At this moment, only two people in this conference room drew his attention.

First was the man on Edward's right-hand side, second in line.

From the earlier conversation, Ronald knew this representative had just boarded and came from the Sky Fortress. Besides the guards that everyone had, there was also a middle-aged man with a somewhat puzzled expression standing behind him.

—Torrex.

One of the reasons Ronald had actively reached out to the Ring of Dreams was Torrex, the policymaker of Entrode and a powerful original holder, now standing behind the representative from Sky Fortress.

The situation was quite straightforward.

Just like the Dark Pathfinder had found Ronald.

After arriving at the Nameless Sea, Torrex encountered people from Sky Fortress moving in the same waters, was brought onto their ship, and at this critical juncture, arrived in Luduo shortly before or after Ronald.

Torrex's appearance was purely a pleasant surprise.

But from the bottom of his heart, Ronald was most concerned not about this significant figure of Entrode.

Because in the first seat on Edward's right hand,

The very representative who had mentioned negative energy particles and came from the Star of Singing was far too intriguing for Ronald.

Setting aside the lovely appearance of this young girl,

Just her large tail in the lower half of her body naturally confirmed she wasn't human.

"…"

Ronald still remembered his encounter at Springs.

Especially during the significant typhoon crisis there, on an overseas island, he had met a mermaid named Helbeis.

Her unique abilities and manner of speaking had told Ronald about her special identity.

And this mermaid before him… although she looked different from Helbeis, she had a very similar dress and demeanor.

A reasonable deduction was immediately drawn—

Was this representative from the Star of Singing from the same world as Helbeis?

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

At that moment, someone at the long table shouted discontentedly.

Ronald was very interested in the two individuals before him, but such actions were absolutely disrespectful to others. Since everyone present was a representative of their own forces, they naturally felt emotional about this situation.

"Ah, my apologies." Ronald wasn't a completely unreasonable man. He knew his intrusion into the meeting was rude, so he apologized before explaining further, "I'm mainly here to find Mr. Torrex, as the situation is quite urgent."

Under the various stares of the people, Ronald walked up to Torrex in two steps.

The influential figure from Entrod looked at Ronald who had come before him.

His expression somewhat bewildered as he spoke,

"Ron… Ronald…"

Torrex was definitely not acting normal!

Even though Ronald didn't see his state when he entered the "Dream Mirror," Torrex had reminded R'lyeh with a strong and forceful voice at the end. After having his own experiences with the "Dream Mirror," Ronald didn't believe there was any danger.

Such a powerful Caster.

How could he have suddenly turned out like this?

The next second, Ronald turned to look at the spokesperson for the Sky Fortress, the ones who had brought Torrex to Luduo, as they were most likely to know the situation,

"Torrex… what happened to him?"

"…"

The spokesperson from the Sky Fortress didn't immediately respond to Ronald.

This man first turned to see the attitude of Edward, who was at the main seat, before slowly explaining,

"Sir, if you and this Torrex are friends, then I am sorry."

"After entering the Nameless Sea, Torrex seemingly attempted to flee through the air, and as everyone knows the outcome of such actions—incessantly attacked by the giant mist hands, severely injured and near death."

At this point, the spokesperson of the Sky Fortress shifted the tone of his explanation,

"However, this Torrex was lucky, our route to Luduo happened to be close to where he fell into the sea, so we reached out and saved his life."

"Only to ensure he didn't die, we fed him a lot of seawater from the Nameless Sea, coupled with Mr. Torrex's already precarious health condition, the end result turned out like this."

"…"

Ronald didn't use any "lie detector" type of Spell, and he wasn't planning to pursue any further questions.

The people from the Sky Fortress said so.

So just take it as that.

After all, Ronald originally had no significant relationship with Torrex coming here was more a moral choice.

In the Nameless Sea, what most concerned him was the eventual outcome caused by the "Silver Key" series of scripture, to not let that world bring forth any Outer Gods was of paramount importance.

Ronald's drawn attention did not last long.

After all, the conference was about discussing the interests related to the disintegration of Luduo, in a world as broadly scarce as the Nameless Sea, such rare conflicts were of more concern.

In just a few minutes,

The people at the long table began to argue pinpointedly again.

"…"

Amidst this scenario, the mermaid involved in the discussion stealthily turned around, then looked towards Ronald, who was examining Torrex's body,

"Human, you seemed to have been looking at me just now?"

"Do I have something special on me?"

Strictly speaking, the mermaid and the others differed not only physiologically.

Even though they were in the peculiar region of the Nameless Sea,

Her beautiful face still bore liveliness.

Ronald glanced at her, then spoke calmly,

"Yes, I once met a mermaid named Heirbeth; you resemble her somewhat."

"Heirbeth!" The mermaid's expression changed instantly.

Hearing that name, she even stopped paying attention to the conference discussion, seriously starting a direct conversation with Ronald,

"Where did you see her? And… what is your name?"

The mermaid's reaction had already proven that she and Heirbeth came from the same world.

Ronald, feeling a natural affinity for this identity, smiled showing his goodwill, "At that time, I was called 'Wuling Resident.'"
