Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 509 - 506: An Unexpected Answer

——September 17th evening, 11:43 PM.

——Springs City’s impoverished district.

After entering Springs, Ronald had come to this place once again.

His purpose for being here today was very simple: to find Heidi and to confirm her identity.

If she truly was Mil in disguise.

Then the result would be straightforward; they would certainly have to take action tonight.

Walking on a street where the electric lamps had been damaged, Ronald and Heloise walked side by side. With a clear objective, the guild’s ability to gather intelligence proved to be exceptionally outstanding.

As long as money could solve the problem,

Then it was no problem at all.

So, armed with the detailed information provided by the guild subsequently, the two hardly took any detours and quickly arrived at their destination for the evening.

A two-story building in the impoverished district.

Although it looked unassuming from the outside, judging by the intact building structure and the well-repaired perimeter fence, this dwelling was indeed one of the nicer places in the impoverished district.

However, probably due to the late hour, the house in front was unlit, and the pitch-black building showed no sign of activity.

Stopping here, Ronald gazed at the building and slowly nodded.

"The person is inside, but in the basement."

Unbeknownst to the other party, Fury’s power for reconnaissance was still useful. Without prior preparation, the other party’s situation was unilaterally scrutinized by Ronald.

Heidi was indeed one to follow the ’traditions’ of the mystical side.

Doing her own thing at night, she never forgot to drill down into the specially excavated underground space.

Standing beside Ronald at this moment, Heloise, having heard the prompt, gave a slight nod:

"Ronald, I’ll go ahead."

"No problem."

After a brief exchange, the two effortlessly climbed over the fence and jumped into the courtyard, subsequently breaking directly into the building.

The house where Heidi lived had an alarm system.

Snares to detect ordinary people, spell defenses against Casters, and even pets raised that were prone to causing a stir, all these things were well set up in the courtyard and house, providing Heidi with basic defense.

It was just unfortunate... freewebnσvel.cøm

That these things ran into experts among experts today.

——Heloise.

As a spy trained by a nation like Entrode, these defenses that would be troublesome to ordinary people were mere child’s play for her.

She quickly saw through the simple traps.

She could discern and break through the spell defenses within seconds.

Even the pets Heidi kept in the house were knocked out without the chance to make any noise.

Following closely behind Heloise, Ronald watched the girl’s series of smooth operations and couldn’t help but quietly marvel:

"Heloise, you are really quite impressive."

However, faced with Ronald’s praise, Heloise did not show any signs of satisfaction.

"I still have a long way to go."

"Ronald, haven’t you seen my old boss?"

"If it were him today, the result would be that he could pass through here without triggering any alarm, as if he had never been here at all."

Ronald recalled the abilities of Lelaye.

And he could only nod in agreement.

"Indeed, that guy is so elusive that even the original text holders find it difficult to capture his trace. Before seeing Lelaye, I never imagined that your school’s original texts could achieve such an effect."

Listening to Ronald’s reflection, Heloise also spoke:

"I also think our school is not up to the mark."

"Based on my old boss’s situation, he must have mastered the spells of other original texts."

"I see..."

The two quietly exchanged words.

They soon found the entrance to the underground basement within the house.

However, before pulling open the door to the basement, Ronald first scattered the black mist of Hell’s power, ensuring that Heidi trapped underground couldn’t escape.

Click—

Ronald completely sealed the house right before their eyes.

With force in her hands, Halois pulled open the already unlocked trapdoor of the basement in one go.

This sort of commotion couldn’t possibly remain concealed.

The very next second after the trapdoor opened, an anxious female voice came from the basement:

"Hmm?"

"Who’s there—!"

And following closely behind was the rapid convergence of magic power.

With someone unexpectedly entering her home without a sound, Heidi below almost instinctively prepared to use a spell for a counterattack.

Confronted with such a situation, Ronald snapped his fingers lightly and then, without saying a word, jumped down.

Pop pop pop—

Almost at the very moment his feet hit the ground,

The white light of "Guardian Angel" shone upon Ronald.

Heidi was quick to use her spell, some kind of slender object too swift to catch struck him, immediately activating the defensive spell.

Unfortunately...

The offensive power of this spell was just too weak.

After a burst of dense sounds, the white light of the "Guardian Angel" spell hadn’t even dimmed much. To conduct an assessment, this was probably one of the weakest attacks Ronald had ever faced.

As for Heidi, the girl was truly terrified now.

Her full-powered spell attack on the intruder had not had any effect at all.

As a caster operating solo, she almost immediately realized that the enemy in front of her was not on the same level, and even if she used all her abilities, it was questionable whether she could break through this defense.

Winning through combat was no longer a viable option to even consider!

"Who... who are you!"

Backing up step by step, until her back hit her own workbench, Heidi finally stopped retreating and continued to speak:

"You can take whatever you want from here!"

"Please, just spare my life!"

"..."

Ronald stood in front of Heidi, feeling somewhat helpless inside.

Judging by this reaction, the spells used, as well as her psychological state, it was nearly impossible that the girl before him was Mil.

Before fully confirming that this night’s effort was in vain,

He could only try to ask some questions, hoping for some kind of gain.

"Volume eleven, page two hundred sixty, item six."

He quietly recited the lie detector spell and then Ronald finally said:

"Madam, you don’t need to be too nervous, I’m just here to investigate some matters, I have no ill intentions towards you personally."

Hearing this, Heidi’s fear-filled eyes began to contemplate:

"Investigation... What do you want to know about Mosang Paper?"

"No, what I want to know has nothing to do with that," Ronald shook his head in denial and then straightforwardly stated his purpose, "I want to ask about a person. A guy named Mil."

"This individual is proficient in spells that change one’s physical appearance, a very dangerous person. I am here to ensure she doesn’t commit any harm to others, which is why I have come to find you."

Then, to his surprise, came a response.

The tensely-faced Heidi pondered briefly, then began to ask in return:

"Mil..."

"The Mil you’re talking about, is she a young lady with an injury on her shoulder?"
