Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 510 - 507: Mozang Paper’s Partner

"The Lie Detector Spell" is working normally.

The emotions feedback from the "Fury" also did not exceed the normal variations.

Assured by the spells from two different systems, Ronald could confirm that his answers were accurate.

"You’re right, she indeed had an injury on her shoulder."

As soon as Ronald had spoken, Heidi’s gaze finally began to think amidst the chaotic thoughts.

It was exactly this expression he observed.

Ronald gently exhaled:

"Huh—"

Then he made his expression as serious as possible while speaking in a low tone:

"Miss Heidi, first, I want you to understand something."

"I have no ill intentions standing here and talking to you."

Heidi’s gaze froze, and her body, leaning against the experiment table, stiffened.

She pondered Ronald’s words, and after a few seconds, she cautiously asked:

"So... so if I provide information about Mil, I can ensure my safety?"

Ronald nodded in response:

"During the time I verify the news and after proving your words are true, your safety can be ensured."

"..."

After a few exchanges, the panic in Heidi’s gaze gradually subsided.

Realizing the power disparity between Ronald and herself, as a Caster from the slums, she naturally chose the most beneficial direction for herself.

"Okay, I understand everything."

"Sir, I believe you must have conducted research before coming here, so I will speak bluntly. Since arriving in Springs, I have maintained close communication with Mosan Paper Industries, and both parties have had a mutually beneficial cooperation."

"At the same time, to enhance my spell research, I also commissioned Mosan Paper Industries. Roughly at the start of last month, I found a person in the list provided who was also skilled in Disguise Magic, so I started contacting them."

Ronald’s eyes lit up:

"So the person you contacted, was that Mil?"

"Exactly," Heidi nodded and continued calmly, "Miss Mil rarely contacts the outside world. I only knew of her through Mosan Paper Industries."

"If needed, I will now give you her address on the outskirts of the city."

"..."

So she does live on the outskirts...

Hearing Heidi’s explanation, Ronald felt somewhat sentimental.

No wonder he could not find any traces of Mil in the city during this time.

Unless Ronald happened to collide with Mil when she was entering the city, no matter how hard he tried, it would be impossible to find her within the city.

It seems that the information provided by "Twelve Witches" has some issues.

Thinking this, Ronald also gestured to Heidi to make room and waived his hand:

"So, without delay, shall we go check the outskirts now?"

"..."

Gulp—

Hearing Ronald’s words, Heidi visibly swallowed and asked with a tone of disbelief:

"You... You plan to leave the city at night?"

"Forgive my bluntness, but choosing to travel at night in recent Springs isn’t a wise decision. Investigators and strong members from various major academies roam the streets every night, it’s very dangerous for ordinary Casters like us!"

"..."

Quite a proper safety-conscious response from a serious Caster...

Indeed, since the "Book Study Club" discussion, Springs’ nights had once again started to shift towards danger. Some suspicious Casters walking the streets might be abducted by others even before investigators arrive to interrogate them.

Everyone knew that the "Nine Commandments" were preparing for an event in Springs.

So everyone was also active in Springs.

For many major schools, capturing a member of the "Nine Commandments" and extracting information could yield benefits far exceeding the cost—it was definitely a profitable deal.

Unfortunately, as Ronald was seeing now.

Although this was extremely unfavorable for the organization known as the "Nine Commandments," it also had a considerable impact on ordinary Casters.

Sighing inwardly, Ronald then spoke out,

"Don’t worry, we won’t have any problems."

"As long as you’re with me, no fool will come looking for trouble."

"Ah...?"

Heidi uttered a puzzled sound, her face a mixture of disbelief and fear.

"But we..."

Ronald didn’t wait for Heidi to finish, interrupting her while simultaneously summoning the original tome and shaking it,

"Look at this, do you understand now?"

"..."

"Ori... original tome...?"

Heidi was utterly speechless.

While Ronald could be mingling with the original tome’s possessor and even school leaders every day, for ordinary Casters, this status remained an unattainable level.

Take Heidi as an example.

Though she could maintain a decent life in the slums and even negotiate partnerships with companies like Mozang Paper Industries, contacting the original tome and its bearer was a rarity in her life—countable on the fingers of one hand.

But tonight?

A major figure, usually untouchable, was right before her eyes, even negotiating with her in a friendly manner.

This... This was an opportunity.

An opportunity for her to rise higher, even to break free from her current social class!

Quicker than a flash, Heidi realized all this, and the fear and anxiety she had felt before dissolved.

It was just like the excitement of entering Springs for the first time.

She immediately steadied herself and, without minding the distance between them, walked up to Ronald.

"My lord, I understand now!"

"There’s no time to delay, I’ll take you to Lumir right now!"

"..."

Ronald shrugged, responding in an unquestionably calm tone,

"That’s fine, let’s go."

The change in Heidi was also something he had anticipated. If it could help achieve his goal for today, Ronald didn’t mind assisting this new Caster acquaintance.

Seeing Ronald’s expression, Heidi’s reaction was even quicker.

She didn’t bother tidying up the basement where she had been working, nor did she search for some necessary spell tools. Instead, she directly walked to the stairs, her robe trailing as she made for the ground floor.

"Mr. Ronald, I’ll go change my clothes."

"It won’t take long!"

With those words, Heidi immediately ducked into her bedroom to get dressed.

Meanwhile, standing alone in the house, Ronald’s gaze drifted to the dark corners of the isolated location.

At this moment.

He couldn’t but admire the habits developed in Halloys as a spy.

While Ronald and Heidi were conversing in the basement, Halloys had heard their conversation and immediately chosen to hide.

During the time that followed,

she would be Ronald’s trusted trump card at any moment.
