Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 507 - 504: An Effective Bait

"Eliminate that group of people and then disseminate the mystic knowledge..."

"Are they serious?"

Queen Dantrian on the stage was unveiling the true nature of the world to the Casters participating in the conference, naturally stirring much discussion and shock.

But around Ronald, there sat a circle of people.

Their reaction now was completely different from other Casters.

Led by Alya’s puzzled soft inquiry, the head of the cult Magicians, Bapulor, immediately responded:

"Serious or not, let’s just forget about that."

"Even if we really get rid of that bunch of old relics, don’t expect these people to properly disseminate the mystic knowledge!"

Hearing Bapulor’s words, Ronald couldn’t help but nod:

"That’s indeed true."

"Even if the restrictions on disseminating knowledge were lifted, most likely the majority of Casters from different factions would still not be willing to impart their knowledge. For many, losing power and sharing power, especially sharing it with ordinary people they previously looked down upon, is a difficult thing to accept."

Participating in the dialogue, Alya’s expression wasn’t very good either.

"Yes, many Casters are just like that."

"Human nature is just such a thing, it’s not something that can be directly guided by a leader’s call."

Nodding in agreement with Ronald, Alya then turned to look at Bapulor, her eyes not resembling their previous expression.

"You, this cult leader, usually don’t have much of a brain, but today you actually have some use, huh?"

Bapulor laughed happily:

"Ha ha ha—"

"Thanks for the compliment, thanks for the compliment."

"Being praised by a Caster like you, I’ll take these words home and pass them on as a family teaching to my child, it’s truly rare!"

"..."

Hearing the cult Magician’s outrageous response, Alya’s expression instantly turned into a ’you really are brainless’ look, and she turned her head away, no longer engaging with Bapulor.

But at this moment, sitting behind them, a spy suddenly spoke up:

"Bapulor, do you actually have a child?"

"Hidden well, huh? Even my side didn’t have any information about this."

"..."

Faced with the spy leader’s question, Bapulor displayed a satisfied expression:

"Of course!"

"My proud daughter not only has more talent in studying spells than I do, but she is also clever enough to be a spy with no problem. It’s just a pity she doesn’t seem to think highly of my job as a father, so she has always been reluctant to join my faction."

Alya immediately interjected mockingly:

"Compared to you, your daughter really does have a good brain."

The head of the cult Magicians shrugged and laughed:

"Ha ha ha—"

"That’s just how it is."

"..."

The circle of people sitting together formed a small clique mocking other Casters, and the topic unknowingly deviated far off course.

Meanwhile, in the main atmosphere of the conference room, the Queen’s speech continued.

From battles of ancient times to today’s development, Dantrian did not mention knowledge like faction imprints, she firmly controlled the topic within the natural opposition of two forces.

It took considerable effort to get people to accept this reality.

Then Her Majesty the Queen smoothly changed the topic:

"So, ladies and gentlemen, the situation we are now facing is truly very complicated."

"There is the possibility of ancient enemies returning from beyond the boundary and the changing environment of spell-casting, both of which are concretely affecting everyone. Not to mention, in our world today, there’s also an enemy lurking in secret."

Upon hearing Dantrian’s words, someone in the meeting room immediately asked,

"Your Majesty, are you saying there’s an enemy lurking in secret?"

"Yes, an enemy lurking in secret!"

Dantrian nodded sternly and then continued to explain,

"The Nine Commandments Council—"

"An organization some of you might have heard of, or perhaps not."

"From the ancient past to the present, they have been committed to bringing those decayed ones back to this world. Even though they have been suppressed by the church for a long time, they have never ceased their efforts to oppose us."

"The Fire Rain Incident that happened in the El Plains, the Mournful Song of Wraiths at the Polar Academy, the Great Collapse of Seldimor... Even the recent issues at the White Shore Castle, the Nine Commandments Council is directly responsible for all of them!"

"..." frёeωebɳovel.com

After Dantrian finished her speech, a new discussion began in the meeting room.

Through his continuous studies over this period, Ronald understood that the terms the Queen mentioned were all historically negatively impactful events on the mystical side.

The Fire Rain Incident occurred a hundred and twenty years ago on a continent in the south.

At that time, due to a large-scale mystical conflict, a prairie was turned into a sea of fire, with less than a hundred survivors.

The Mournful Song of Wraiths happened two hundred years ago.

A large mystical academy known as the Polar Academy was completely destroyed during that crisis, with both the original scriptures and their inheritors disappearing from this world.

The Great Collapse was even more straightforward.

Within a period of sixty-three years, Seldimor permanently lost a piece of territory, and the world’s aberration completely engulfed an entire region.

And finally, the White Shore Castle...

The attendees, being situated in Springs, naturally understood what this meant.

While exchanging views,

The attitude of hostility towards the Nine Commandments Council was almost immediately unified.

With Queen Dantrian herself announcing such news and many other major academies vouching for it, the likelihood of this information being a hoax was exceedingly low.

However, at this moment, Ronald, observing the people around him in the meeting room,

Suddenly conceived a bold idea.

Nonetheless, the hostility these casters held against the Nine Commandments was still far from enough for them to exert all-out effort.

The habit of the mystical side to act cautiously was restraining these people.

Even understanding the danger of this enemy, these casters wouldn’t

deal with these people; a bait with absolute effectiveness was the most prudent need.

Thus, Ronald rose from the front row.

Just like every prior speaker, he bowed to the audience:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have actually had many conflicts with the Nine Commandments, and I have come to know some things that others do not. Now, for the safety of the entire mystical side, I intend to share this information."

Dantrian looked at Ronald.

The Queen, believing that this young man was simply continuing his longstanding opposition to the Nine Commandments, immediately nodded for him to continue.

Then, Ronald began to speak:

"As far as I know—"

"The Nine Commandments, in fact, now possess a ’Book of Interpretation’ that can decode any scripture, and with time passing, their power will surely grow at a terrifying rate!"

"..."

As soon as the words were out.

The entire room fell silent.
