Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1232 - 1226: Scrolls

It was as if to show his loyalty to Ronald.

This 'Pirate King,' while explaining, kicked the tied-up guy, causing him to heavily kowtow to Ronald.

"You ignorant fool, how dare you offend the lord like this!"

As his words fell, he stomped again.

Until he had the unfortunate tied guy thoroughly flattened on the ground, the 'Pirate King' finally spoke again to Ronald:

"Master, we..."

"Alright, stop acting for me." Seeing that the other party wanted to do something else, Ronald interrupted the 'Pirate King's' performance directly, "I have a very clear purpose for coming to Barrier Mountain. So— as long as you cooperate with me obediently, I won't bother to slaughter all of you!"

Upon hearing this, the 'Pirate King's' smile almost overflowed.

As a mature pirate captain, he knew very well that the man who said this was definitely not the kind that would go on a killing spree, slaughtering everyone.

As long as he and his people cooperated with the other party obediently, preserving their lives at least would not be a problem.

Thinking even more optimistically—

After this incomprehensibly powerful man left, they could even continue to explore and find valuable things on this Floating Mountain!

"Master, whatever you want done, just tell us!"

"We thousand or so people might not have much skill, but cooperating with you is absolutely not a problem!"

On the other side.

Seeing the representative 'Pirate King' had already spoken several words with Ronald and had shown his purpose,

Several other 'Pirate Kings' couldn't hold back and hurried forward to start showing their diligence:

"Master, whatever requests you have, just say!"

"I swear on my life, I will lead my men to achieve your goal!"

"..."

Looking at this group of pirates who had 'revitalized,' Ronald didn't bother to say much to them.

He directly pulled a piece of Hell black mist, and according to the Spell's records of Barrier Mountain's internal conditions, directly restored a segment of the nearby space structure.

Then, without waiting for Ronald to point out the storeroom,

The 'Pirate Kings' surrounding him started to flatter him again:

"What a miraculous Spell!"

"As expected of the master! I've been fiddling around this mountain for over a month and haven't discovered such an amazing ability!"

"..."

"All of you quiet down!" Unable to bear it anymore, Ronald ordered, scaring this group busy flattery guy into silence.

In this quiet environment, Ronald finally pointed out the storeroom:

"At this position I marked, there's a storeroom looted empty by you."

"Now bring back everything taken from there, that's the only thing I want you to do."

"..."

To let all the pirates understand his idea.

After explaining, Ronald held up this Hell black mist model and expanded it several times.

Until its volume was large enough for everyone to clearly see the position he pointed to, Ronald stopped the Spell operation.

"..."

Seeing this change, the "Pirate Kings" exchanged glances.

Then they quickly scolded their subordinates, starting to diligently search for the things taken from this storeroom on behalf of Ronald.

...

Faced with a dangerous strongman, the pirates moved unbelievably fast.

Oil lamps, Gold Coins, weapons, notebooks, even a box of half-eaten sugar cubes, these things taken from the storeroom were placed one by one back in the square.

Less than fifteen minutes passed.

Even the box Mermaid Lulu mentioned that held items appeared again before Ronald.

Moreover, with Mermaid Lulu's confirmation,

The pirates indeed didn't play any tricks when handing over things. What they presented to Ronald were truly the original items taken from that storeroom.

Before starting the inspection, Ronald couldn't help but comment:

"You all truly have been quite honest, huh."

Hearing this, the 'Pirate King' responsible for negotiating with Ronald earlier quickly responded agreeably.

Only comparing to the initial flattering, after understanding Ronald's general character, he realized there's no need to be overly flattering, so this time his tone was fairly honest:

"Master, we wouldn't dare play any tricks in front of you."

"Unless someone is truly tired of living, then they might choose to provoke you again!"

"..."

Ronald nodded slightly, then silently started inspecting the items the pirates handed over.

The storeroom items — money or treasures can be directly ignored.

After all, Catherine doesn't seem like someone who would leave information for him in such materials.

Thus, Ronald's attention was mostly focused on the books and scrolls piled up on his left.

At this moment, Mermaid Lulu gave out new information from beside:

"Ronald, if I remember correctly, the box mainly contained several scrolls."

"..."

This kind of hint saved quite a bit of trouble for him!

"Lulu, thank you!"

Nodding to thank the mermaid, Ronald directly started checking these piled scrolls.

The contents on these scrolls had quite an astronomical feel.

Besides ancient star maps and related reports on their observation, most were valuable records on observing special constellations.

And more fortunately— the pirates also realized the preciousness of these scrolls.

As professionals surviving on the seas, though most pirates are coarse and uneducated, they know how important star recognition is. Therefore, the scrolls placed back before Ronald mostly remained in good condition.

If compared,

These scrolls seemed as if newly minted, much more than the other items laid out!

This discovery naturally made Ronald happy.

Until he flipped through one-third of the scrolls, when he picked one up, his hands paused directly.

This scroll had a familiar Magic Fluctuation.

Moreover, it only appeared when Ronald contacted it, revealing from its hidden state.

— No doubt, it's this one!

Ronald felt a rush of happiness in his heart, immediately activating it according to the Magic Fluctuation.

Then, at the corner of a star map, a series of clean and neat writings emerged.

—[Ronald.]
