Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 501 - 498: The Real Convener

Almost two hours had passed again.

Ronald had finished his writing for the day, and Heiloi had tidied up her work.

The two had dinner together on the commercial street.

Afterward, Heiloi took the manuscript back to the apartment in the Riverside District, while Ronald went alone to Wis University to attend the "Scroll Research Society" meeting tonight.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go with Heiloi.

It’s just that the invitation from the "Scroll Research Society" specifically mentioned that the gathering needed to be kept confidential, so those who were not invited could not participate.

—Wis University.

—Ronald was quite familiar with this place.

Having worked here for quite some time, Ronald easily made his way into the university, heading directly to the library where the "Scroll Research Society" meeting was held.

Tonight at Wis University...

Based on Ronald’s observation on the way, there were no special personnel changes. Although Ronald had arrived a few hours early, the number of students visiting the campus had not changed at all compared to other days.

Even upon reaching the library, there were no extra security personnel provided by the investigation bureau.

If Ronald were to describe it,

before entering, tonight’s "Scroll Research Society" meeting didn’t give off any tense atmosphere and seemed just like any regular academic meeting.

There were two possibilities then.

—This invitation was actually just a private secret gathering, so there would not be any major issues, hence everything was normal.

—The importance of this invitation was beyond expectation. Under strict confidentiality, the "Scroll Research Society" even went to the extent of meticulously disguising everything on the university side, ensuring no leaks of any information.

"It shouldn’t be as serious as I think..."

Raising an eyebrow, Ronald thought as he entered the library building.

Thinking that he didn’t have his old researcher’s pass anymore, he directly headed to the society’s office on the second floor.

However, as he ascended the stairs, Mou Li, dressed plainly, collided with him face to face.

Seeing Ronald in front of her, the young girl sounded somewhat surprised:

"Ron... Ronald, you came so early?"

Ronald immediately responded:

"I just got off work. I thought I’d save some travel time and check on Mr. Xiang’s condition, so I came over early."

Ronald was telling the truth.

In the events at White Shore Castle, due to the influence of the subsequent actions of the "Nine Commandments Society," Mr. Xiang’s treatment was ultimately delayed and did not receive immediate medical attention.

As a result, he was still in a coma.

Faced with the situation of not being able to fulfill the promise, the "Scroll Research Society" assured Ronald that they would provide high-quality treatment for the old man, and then left him in the care of the "Scroll Research Society".

Without those tumultuous accidents.

The capability of the "Scroll Research Society" was still trustworthy.

During Ronald’s several visits, Mr. Xiang’s physical condition had gradually improved. However, considering the cautious approach to the uncontrollable original magic power, the treatment plan here still opted for precaution, thus not awakening his consciousness.

"Is that so..."

"Let me take you there, let’s go check on Mr. Xiang."

Glad to have run into Ronald, Mou Li’s mood was visibly good as she immediately led him to the magically concealed treatment room within the library.

Sitting beside the old man, Ronald held his hand to check on him.

Under the careful and cautious treatment by the "Scroll Research Society," Mr. Xiang’s health was no longer in danger. At this rate, it would take no more than a week for the old man to fully recover and regain his consciousness.

Feeling somewhat reassured in his heart, Ronald turned to Mou Li with a smile and said:

"Mou Li, thank you so much for your trouble."

The girl immediately stood up and waved her hand,

"No, no, no, this was originally the research society’s dereliction of duty. In order to redeem our broken promise, any action is necessary."

Ronald responded immediately,

"I have seen your attitude."

"A thank you is necessary."

Although the issue first arose with the "Scroll Research Society," it was also due to the actions of the "Nine Commandments Secret Meeting," and fundamentally the responsibility did not lie with them.

As an original text holder, Ronald naturally understood how tricky uncontrolled Magic Power could be. The effort that the "Scroll Research Society" had to put in for such stable Healing could be guessed.

He sat by the unconscious old man for a while.

Feeling that it was about time, Ronald stood up and asked the girl in front of him,

"Mou Li, do you know what I was invited here tonight to do?"

"They said it was to be kept strictly confidential, and I’m quite curious."

As soon as Ronald spoke, Mou Li’s expression changed.

The girl’s face tensed instantly, then she subconsciously looked towards the window on the north side of the room.

Just that reaction alone let Ronald know that his previous guess was right.

The kind of reaction Mou Li showed suggested that today’s invitation was likely a more serious issue than he had imagined.

So... what exactly does the "Scroll Research Society" want to do?

As Ronald pondered, trying to deduce an outcome, Mou Li, with a conflicted look in her eyes and in a very low voice, spoke,

"Ronald, I can’t say much about this, as it’s heavily protected by Cause and Effect Magic. You... the only thing I can tell you is that tonight’s host will also be there."

As she spoke, Mou Li stretched out her white fingers, pointing towards the window on the north side of the room.

Following her pointing finger, Ronald could only see a night sky twinkling with lights through the window. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

The "Scroll Research Society," or rather the northern side of Wis University,

And also protected by Cause and Effect Magic.

His thoughts drifted away on the map of Springs, shifting his gaze from Wis University to the entire Riverside District, and then locking onto the north of the Riverside District.

— In the palace district on Crown Road...

— "Heavenly Sea Palace"...

— Dantrian!

In that instant, Ronald understood what Mou Li’s pointing finger meant.

Tonight’s invitation from the "Scroll Research Society" was also to be attended by Queen Dantrian!

No, that wasn’t quite right!

Rather, tonight’s invitation was under the name of the "Scroll Research Society" because Queen Dantrian wanted confidentiality!

No wonder there were no extra investigators dispatched outside.

Not to mention whether the high profile big shots would appear tonight.

Tonight, here in Springs, even the world’s most powerful original text holder is present; what else could represent a greater security assurance!

Gulp—

Ronald swallowed hard with a tense expression.

Looking at Mou Li, who also wore a serious expression, he asked one last question,

"Tonight, are many important big shots supposed to come?"

Mou Li nodded,

"Yes."
