Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1186 - 1180: Oborlek

"You... you let go... of me first."

Oborlek struggled to speak, but now even his speech was fragmented.

In order to ensure that the girl below wasn't 'executed' by this guy.

Ronald's spell had great control, and this was the death trap Oborlek faced.

Seeing Oborlek turn into this, Helewis also abandoned the idea of talking to him first and instead dragged the kneeling girl out.

Helewis showed a hint of mockery:

"Shi Nan, you really aren't afraid of death."

"For Oborlek to have an excuse, you'd even give up your life?"

Such a scene was not the first time Helewis encountered.

Or rather—this was also considered a common tactic among their agents.

Although it seemed very contrived and false, in many situations, such falseness could completely be a way to ease the situation. Even according to some upper class rules, this kind of falseness was quite commonly used.

Unfortunately, standing here today wasn't those calculating to the perverse nobility, but Ronald, who could completely crush them with strength.

"..."

The girl kneeling on the ground was pulled out by Helewis, but she completely closed her mouth now, having no intention of saying a word.

Thus, Helewis moved close to the other's cheek, whispering with an intimately close attitude:

"Shi Nan, I know you're not the kind of person who isn't afraid of death. To make such a move, you absolutely have a reason you can't avoid."

"Tell me quickly?"

"..."

The girl called Shi Nan by Helewis still did not speak.

She merely stared relentlessly at the other, as if she wanted to see some unforgivable thing through Helewis.

"You all really haven't changed at all."

Helewis shook her head and then stood up.

Facing this 'old colleague' with an attitude of refusing cooperation, she had no choice but to wave to Ronald:

"Ronald, give me the truth serum!"

"Here—"

Ronald tossed the last dose of magic potion over.

Helewis caught it without turning around, then came directly in front of Oborlek:

"You were the one refusing to cooperate first, don't blame me."

With that, Helewis didn't immediately pour the magic potion down Oborlek's throat.

Instead, she clasped her fists and struck a heavy blow into his stomach.

Bang!

"Ugh—"

This punch from Helewis was a special attack with magic power erosion.

As an agent from Entrode, those who carry the truth serum magic potion understand its effects and defenses the best.

The best way to counteract such a potion is to prevent the body from absorbing the effect.

And through spells provided by Human Body Construction, the Entrode agents adept in controlling their flesh can indeed achieve this level.

So, Helewis first used a magic-powered attack to disrupt Oborlek, ensuring he couldn't control his stomach organs temporarily, and then she finally poured the magic potion into this guy's mouth.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm—"

Oborlek began a violent struggle.

However, all his self-rescue means couldn't be executed at the moment, and ultimately he could only look increasingly dazed until his thoughts were completely controlled by the potion.

"Speak, where are the slaves you took, and have you targeted anyone else during this period?"

Oborlek answered honestly:

"The slaves taken are in the basement of the Wanderer's Guild. Besides sending people to Tang Chom to scout for Helewis' whereabouts, there were no other actions taken."

"Phew—"

Upon hearing this, Helewis breathed a sigh of relief.

She and Ronald acted quickly, daring to stop everything before these dangerous elements caused more issues.

Now as long as they rescue the people, there would be no problem for her in the Kingdom of Rooney.

With things settled, Helewis was in a good mood. Thinking not to waste the last potion, she asked:

"Oborlek, you're going through all this trouble just for the original text I have?"

Then, Oborlek answered:

"It's not just for the original text."

"Both the Nine Commandments and the heretic magicians secretly approached me; they want to capture you and conduct some covert plan. The original text on you is just part of my reward."

"..."

Helewis' expression immediately turned grim.

The previous threat came from the 'old colleague' in front, allowing her to calmly handle it with familiarity towards these guys.

But if it's the Nine Commandments and the heretic magicians coming together...

Putting aside those dangerous Nine Commandments, just thinking of the heretic magicians was trouble beyond imagination.

It's important to note that the Kingdom of Rooney is now entirely ruled by heretic magicians, and the locals highly welcome their policies. Opposing them in this situation is almost equivalent to being against the entire country!

Right at this moment, Ronald, equally detecting this information with extraordinary hearing, also came to Helewis' side:

"Helewis, a surprising discovery."

Helewis gave a bitter smile:

"The Nine Commandments and the heretic magicians come together, Ronald, can you handle this situation?"

Ronald gave Helewis a confident expression:

"It's not a question of whether I can handle it."

"In fact, this saves me the effort of finding their location!"

Ronald and Helewis both understood the truth of the current situation, but they tacitly chose not to reveal it.

—Why was Helewis targeted by the Nine Commandments and heretic magicians together?

The reason is very simple.

Although Helewis holds significant value, she doesn't warrant such attention on her own.

The two organizations contacted these Entrode agents precisely because they want to use their familiarity to extract Helewis from the Kingdom of Rooney.

Once Helewis is under control...

Then interfering with or even controlling Ronald wouldn't just be a vain thought!

Bang—!

The next second, Helewis kicked Oborlek.

She knew she couldn't keep wasting the duration of the magic potion, so she immediately used a completely different sinister tone to detail her questioning with this 'old colleague':

"Oborlek, explain the process of your contact with them!"

The truth serum potion continued to take effect.

Under irresistible conditions, Oborlek naturally answered honestly:

"First, a month ago, the heretic magicians found me in a tavern, issuing a commission, indicating you were within the Kingdom of Rooney..."

"Then, two weeks ago, the Nine Commandments contacted me as well, unlike the heretic magicians, they openly expressed wanting to use you to control Ronald..."
