Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1239 - 1233: Secret Information

"As long as there are enough people with belief, some strange things will naturally emerge from thoughts. Generally speaking, aren't those things called deities?"

Lulu continued her explanation, but her gaze was rather nuanced.

In her perception, Ronald was a unique presence who understood many things and was also very skilled in magic.

For ordinary people to not know about deities was understandable.

But for Ronald to not know... this fact truly puzzled Lulu.

Ronald, however, didn't mind showing his 'ignorance'. He freely extended an invitation to Lulu:

"I really haven't been exposed to this kind of thing. Lulu, could you explain it to everyone in detail?"

Lulu didn't ask further, and directly continued her explanation:

"From belief... never mind, let me put it this way! If enough sentient beings collectively believe in the existence of something special, then it's very likely that something corresponding will arise in reality. Willpower, or thought, to some extent, can alter reality."

As she described this, Lulu paced back and forth inside the tent, her posture and steps like that of a confident professor.

Just as she finished speaking, she came to a stop in front of Ronald.

At the moment when Ronald's body served as an obstacle, she silently mouthed a word at an angle only they could see—[Original Text].

"..."

Ronald was instantly stunned.

This was a thought he had never had before. In fact, his brain's first instinct told him it was false.

But upon recalling all his experiences since crossing over...

A tsunami seemed to sweep across Ronald's heart, rendering him speechless for a moment.

Claudia above naturally didn't notice the small gesture between the two, so her Highness was still curiously asking:

"How many 'sentient beings' are you talking about exactly?"

Lulu glanced at Claudia.

Originally, she probably didn't want to answer this human girl.

But at this moment, Ronald clearly was still sorting out his chaotic thoughts, so considering she could help cover for him, Lulu replied:

"At least in the tens, a species that has formed a civilization is necessary."

"If you want to use this method to achieve some purpose, I suggest you abandon it beforehand."

After answering Claudia's question, Lulu glanced at Ronald.

The number she mentioned was also heard by Ronald, thus sparking another round of internal contemplation in his mind.

After all, he was a companion acknowledged by Lord Herbes, sharing more information with him shouldn't be a problem, right?

With a tinge of helplessness, Lulu blinked and convinced herself.

So she added another line:

"Moreover, even if such an effect is achieved, what is born may not necessarily respond to your thoughts. They... exist in various states, some are mere objects, some are life, and there are even things that appear in the form of rules."

"These aren't things you can create or handle right now."

"..."

After Lulu finished speaking, silence immediately fell inside the tent.

Even if others didn't know as much as Ronald, everything Lulu said was enough to stir their understanding.

This time, it was Heloise who first expressed her doubts:

"With the current world population, it's probably very difficult to reach the number you mentioned. Unless you're talking about experiences in other worlds, how could you have such data?"

Lulu straightforwardly refused:

"Even if you ask, I wouldn't be able to tell you."

"..."

Clap, clap—

After a long silence, Claudia, seated above, clapped her hands.

The now mature princess did not delve further into this issue. After regaining the attention of the contemplative crowd, she steered the conversation back on track.

"Alright, let's not talk about these unnecessary things for now."

"It's precisely because Katherine proved that this place poses a threat to the real world, that I considered the bigger picture and brought people in to support her idea."

"Ronald, I'm asking you now."

"Are you also prepared to provide aid to Katherine?"

Claudia's words were forthright, and she didn't presumptuously assign tasks to Ronald.

Clearly, in her heart, she had her own standards for making decisions.

Standing across the tent, Ronald had already sorted out the information and accepted all of it, so he stated his plan, decided long ago:

"Of course, I'm definitely prepared to help Katherine."

"Even without considering other factors, just for the help she has given me in the past, I cannot stand by and do nothing."

Claudia continued to ask:

"In that case, when do you plan to set off?"

"If there's nothing else you need to discuss here..." Ronald's tone was resolute, "then I'm ready to leave now."

Claudia said no more, instead giving Ronald her blessing:

"Then, I wish you a safe journey."

"The people on the fleet and I will be waiting here for your return."

Before setting off, Ronald looked at Heloise and Patricia earnestly:

"Heloise, Patricia, once we're at the Lava Lake, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect..."

Before Ronald could finish, Heloise proactively said:

"If we act together, we'd undoubtedly become your burden. So, Ronald, you go by yourself, we'll wait here for your return."

"..."

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Through their exchange of glances, their emotions were mutually conveyed.

Ronald bid farewell to the young women in front of him.

No additional actions were needed; everything was understood between them.

...

Ronald turned away alone and left the tent.

Following closely behind, like she was his confidante, was Mermaid Lulu.

"Ronald, didn't you say before that you could let me go down to the Lava Lake too?"

"What's your plan?"

Ronald's pace didn't slow as he asked:

"First, let me confirm, you must really, really want to go to the Lava Lake right now, with no other greater desire, right?"

"Of course!" Lulu replied without hesitation, "My only goal right now is to figure out how to get down there and take a look!"

"That's good then." Ronald nodded.

Then, as magic fluctuations surged, the spell [Otherworldly Angel] from Divine Comedy - Paradise was activated, directly enveloping Lulu who followed beside him.

Within seconds, Lulu's excited voice rang out:

"Wow, wow, wow!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Seriously, I really gained the talent for elemental transformation, now I can safely go down there!"
