Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1202 - 1196: One Third

Brave actions are not reckless; being bold can also ensure carefulness.

Ronald's seemingly reckless and imprudent actions were actually a way to solve the whole trap corridor.

Step on the green floor, and then leap high to avoid the flying arrows;

Step on the white floor, the fire oil always spills from the surrounding floor gaps, so move past with nimble steps;

If you step on the black floor, the darts seem dangerous but they block the way ahead, just pause for a moment, and you can wait for the darts' assault to pass...

In Ronald's thrilling and exciting run, he mixed observation of the entire corridor, and his safe figure was a reward for such adventurous behavior to courage and wisdom.

Every attack here was nothing compared to any spell Ronald used against enemies.

But the thrill indeed passed by his side. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Bang—

Just like that, Ronald charged forward, directly slamming into the door at the end of the corridor.

And when he opened the door with a loss of balance.

Heloise was already waiting there steadily to catch him, and the two fell directly onto the safe ground inside the room.

"Ugh..."

Ronald felt his face being blocked by Heloise's body.

The experience of having the girl serve as a cushion was indeed rare. At this moment, Ronald even recalled their first meeting when jumping off Black Mountain.

"Sorry..."

Ronald's mind turned quickly; in reality, he hurriedly got up from her, leaving the sweet scent of the girl, and tried to breathe the surrounding odorless air.

But soon, Ronald couldn't help but feel tense.

Because right next to him, Gwendolin rarely showed her true form, standing there gazing at him.

"Ronald, what did your actions mean just now?"

Gwendolin asked, her tone very serious.

Ronald felt he grasped her psychology, so he responded calmly:

"You can interpret it as you like."

"..."

Gwendolin didn't continue to respond to Ronald.

She just stood in the room, seriously examining Ronald half sitting and half lying below.

After finally confirming certain elements, Gwendolin immediately disappeared, leaving only a complicated sigh in the air:

"Curiosity about the unknown is a sweet poison."

"Ronald, from now on, seriously navigate the maze."

"..."

Watching the other person disappear, Ronald scanned his gaze around.

He couldn't confirm her location visually, but he inexplicably had an assurance in his heart—Gwendolin had already left.

At the same time, Heloise moved her body and stood up.

The girl proactively pulled Ronald up from the ground, carefully observed him, confirmed he was uninjured, then tugged on Ronald's clothes using her animatedly cute round hands:

"Ronald, what's going on?"

Ronald unreservedly explained his reasoning:

"As long as subjective will exists in this world, then there's certainly a personality accompanying it."

"Through previous observations, I guess Gwendolin, after becoming a so-called 'great existence,' lost much of the 'humanity' that ordinary people should have, hence the bad and subtle personality she exhibits..."

Heloise immediately understood Ronald's approach:

"So as long as you act according to this missing element, it is likely to cause her to make corresponding results, even when Gwendolin is aware of this precondition!"

"That's probably it." Ronald nodded affirmatively, "But the result brings both advantages and disadvantages."

"Next, we should be able to navigate the maze without interruption."

"But on the other hand, trying to utilize Gwendolin's existence to find a 'shortcut' also becomes an impossible condition."

Despite Ronald's explanations, Heloise smiled, apparently not feeling afraid:

"Then let's rely on our own abilities!"

"From past to present, the path we've taken has been like this, hasn't it?"

Ronald nodded slightly, then embraced Heloise:

"That's right, let's continue."

"..."

The time was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Ronald successfully found Heloise, and then the two navigated the previous maze again, leaving the store from the first floor.

The challenge of the entire maze illustration world mainly requires finding six people.

Ronald had found Heloise and Bapulor at this moment, reaching one-third of the target.

But judging by the time spent, this efficiency is definitely adequate.

However, the fact is—

The current situation is not optimistic.

Bapulor and Heloise were both at locations Ronald confirmed as highly probable; as long as he seriously navigated the maze, it's smooth to find them.

Next, the target has blurred.

He couldn't guarantee that the position Bapulor provided would definitely have target individuals there; continuing the journey would be like finding a needle in a haystack in the unfamiliar city and difficult maze!

Standing on the street outside the store, Heloise asked:

"Ronald, did you also find Bapulor previously?"

Ronald nodded lightly:

"Indeed, he even gave me several locations, where the probability of having targets is bigger."

Heloise asked further: "Which places?"

Ronald immediately replied: "They are in the mansions, work units within the city, and these three places: Night Street, Yang Liu Courtyard, and Wanderer's Guild."

Heloise was quite familiar with Ronald's personality.

So when Ronald spoke, she immediately sensed Ronald's intention:

"Ronald, it seems you already have a plan?"

"According to previous results, when looking for people, we can act separately." Ronald confidently answered, "In navigating the maze and finding targets, two acting separately is definitely faster than moving together."

As soon as Ronald finished speaking, Heloise understood everything.

So she proactively took on part of the search task:

"Ronald, I've lived here for a while and am somewhat familiar with the locations of some public buildings."

"So the mansions and workplaces of those cultist civil servants in the city, leave them to me?"

"Heloise, then I'll be counting on you for that." Ronald naturally continued, "Then Night Street, Yang Liu Courtyard, and Wanderer's Guild, leave them to me."

"Stay safe."

"Act cautiously."

"..."

The relationship between Ronald and Heloise today needs no words.

After parting, they naturally took action immediately.

However, Ronald didn't head toward the three agreed targets.

Instead, he changed direction, and made his way straight to the newly-built train station in Giorunos City!
