Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength

Chapter 796: Those Whom I Encountered


"You despicable creature, put me down immediately!"

"Do you think I'll submit to a minion of warlords like you? You're dreaming!"

"If you've got the guts, kill me now. Otherwise, I'll fight to bite a piece off you!"

Being grabbed by Ronald and flying in the air, the resistance fighter with a non-human hybrid bloodline showed great resistance.

Although Ronald used a spell to immobilize his body, he still tried his best to attack verbally, making clear his steadfast opposition to Enteled.

"..."

Ronald looked at this guy speechlessly.

Then he noticed that the man he held had an unwavering attitude, displaying a look truly prepared for self-sacrifice.

To the extent that Ronald felt—

This might not be the heroism of an otherworldly creature before suicide.

But this man really intended to sacrifice himself for the vision of the resistance.

Regarding what's happening now,

Maybe he needs to be more serious and careful.

"Volume eleven, page two hundred sixty, section six..."

Thinking that, Ronald recited the spell of the lie detector, and further locked the Power of Greed onto the man before him.

Ensuring the other's state was entirely under his surveillance, Ronald took him to the woods outside Waterfall City and set him down leaning against a tree.

"Let me reiterate, I'm not one of Enteled's people."

"..."

The resistance fighter also kept silent, only looking angrily at Ronald.

On the way here, he'd basically exhausted his knowledge reserve in curses and wasn't inclined to continue the verbal waste.

Ronald shrugged at this, speaking to himself:

"First, tell me, what kind of creature mingles in your bloodline, and where exactly did it originate?"

"..."

The resistance fighter remained silent, but that couldn't stop Ronald's probing.

With precise confirmation from the Power of Greed, the man's real mindset now was a blank, unable even to comprehend Ronald's words.

Alright, caught the wrong person.

Ronald immediately recognized his mistake.

Thinking about it, not every hybrid of Enteled has blood density like Ina's, capable of instantly swaying to alien creatures upon awakening. As long as the hybrid degree hasn't reached that state, ordinary beings can fundamentally remain unaffected normal humans.

As for hybrids mentioned by cult magicians...

Those guys definitely still exist.

However, Ronald's wide-range detection ability was ineffective on them, so he hadn't found the real target earlier.

"Can't there be something convenient for scanning spiritual presence or sensing fighting energy?"

Ronald muttered softly about the inconvenience of spells in this world.

He wasn't one to insist on a mistake.

He immediately released the oppression on the resistance fighter before him, actively explaining:

"Um, we might have had a misunderstanding."

"Actually, here's how things stand: some time ago, not anyone else but myself, while exploring nearby, discovered the issue of alien creature invasion, then notified the Enteled side about it. Simultaneously, I found that there were human-summoned hybrid beings lurking in human society, ready to..."

Ronald explained the situation meticulously.

And the man of the resistance...

While he understood what Ronald said, in essence, he still felt a bit dazed.

After all, from his perspective, it was being bound by Ronald without a word, then this man simply asked one question. Without anything answered on his part, he was released again?

The resistance fighter stood there pondering for quite a while.

Finally, in a cautious tone, he probed:

"So, you're not one of Enteled's people?"

Ronald replied with a bitter smile:

"I said from the start that I'm not."

This time the resistance fighter believed Ronald, but soon he questioned with suspicion:

"Then why tell those evil warlords about the summoning creatures, shouldn't they be damned?"

Ronald's expression turned serious:

"Sir, this matter is not only Enteled's problem but also a challenge humanity worldwide needs to address together."

"Let me give you an example, suppose a regular villager's village is raided by bandits, should he first think of dealing with the intruding bandits, or resolving the conflict with a tyrant village chief from the night before?"

"One must distinguish between primary and secondary issues."

Educational levels among ordinary people in this world aren't high, but upon hearing such a simple analogy, they immediately understood.

The resistance fighter nodded slightly and cautiously asked:

"So... can I leave now?"

"Of course!" Ronald nearly applauded, "Don't worry; I haven't left any mark on you and won't stealthily follow after you leave."

"In short, as I mentioned earlier, I don't have a particularly close relationship with Enteled. You can even watch me leave and slowly join up with your comrades."

As he spoke, Ronald stepped back facing the resistance fighter.

Once confirmed the other's facial expressions and inner state, he was about to fly back to Waterfall City.

"Hmm?"

But just as Ronald turned to leave, he halted.

Because at that moment, from nearby woods, he detected a new breath, promptly switching his greed observation back to Fury, and immediately located someone in the woods.

Surprise, joy, anxiousness...

Various emotions filled their heart, overall not hostile.

A hybrid human couldn't be detected, Enteled's agents wouldn't have such emotions.

So a cult magician?

Those inwardly chaotic folks couldn't have such a mood.

With a hunch in mind, Ronald naturally turned to look at the position:

"If there's something, come out and let's talk?"

"..."

Upon Ronald's words, the well-prepared resistance fighter first froze.

Quickly turning his head to the pointed location, all he saw was ordinary woods, unable to notice any unusual persons or things.

"Mr. Ronald, long time no see."

"..."

The woods fell silent for a few seconds.

The one detected by Ronald eventually proactively stepped out, then spoke in a somewhat excitable tone:

"I got word that you took our person away, and it's exactly towards this direction outside the city."

"Really, some time not seen each other."

Ronald, watching the person come out, couldn't help but smile and shake his head:

"So it's you."

"I didn't expect we'd meet again here."

Ronald and the newcomer sized each other up.

At which point, the excited resistance fighter called out the person's name:

"Se... Sedir, madam?"
