Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 511 - 508 Strange Feeling
Chapter 511: Chapter 508 Strange Feeling
The carriage industry in Springs had stopped operating at night recently.
So Heidi took Ronald, and the two of them walked out of the city on foot.
After leaving the slums and entering the industrial area, and even after passing through a minor mysterious side skirmish, Heidi finally recovered from her tense emotions.
"Mr. Ronald, are we really just going to walk out of the city?"
"Isn’t it a bit too slow?"
Ronald waved his hand dismissively:
"You know the situation in the city recently, after we leave the city we’ll switch to flying. At that time, it’s enough if you just guide the way."
What followed was a tedious journey.
Heidi wanted to converse more with Ronald to get closer to him, but knowing nothing about the man in front of her, she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, which made her struggle to find a topic.
While on the road, Ronald was constantly monitoring the feedback from the ’Fury’ power. He had to ensure the safety of their surroundings while also making sure that Heloise’s actions were not affected.
Maintaining this subtly understood atmosphere, the two arrived at the checkpoint on the outskirts of the forest district.
There was no need to discuss the post for ordinary people.
As Ronald and Heidi approached the city gate, two groups of on-duty investigators spotted them, and someone immediately walked over.
An investigator responsible for the safety of the city was not like an ordinary caster from the mysterious side.
Recognizing Ronald’s identity at a glance, the investigator immediately bent over in a bow:
"Mr. Ronald, are you leaving the city with this lady?"
"Yes, to investigate some matters," Ronald promptly replied, and did not forget to add an explanation, "This is a commission from the ’Twelve Witches,’ not much to do with the city’s strife."
"The ’Twelve Witches’, huh..."
The investigator pondered briefly, then decisively waved his hand to inform his colleagues that everything was normal here. Afterwards, he still bent over in a bow before returning to his team of investigators.
Ronald was accustomed to such responses from investigators.
But Heidi, who was leading the way for him, now had a gaze so complex that it was difficult to describe in words.
It was a direct shock.
Heidi knew the might of these important figures and, as a member of the caster community, had personally experienced the assertiveness of investigators when faced with her own kind.
And now.
The assertive investigators showed their respect for such important figures, right before Heidi’s eyes. When she thought of how these people had treated her before, the disparity was starkly obvious.
"..."
"Alright, let’s go."
Stepping forward with Heidi, Ronald indeed noticed her state.
So, he simply patted Heidi’s shoulder, then took her hand and started walking out of the city.
Throughout the process, Heidi did not resist or object.
She was like a rag doll, allowing Ronald to lead her actions.
Having left the city and arriving at a suitable location, Ronald naturally began preparing the flight spell:
"Starting from the relationship between the entire Earth and the sky, we shall begin constructing our cognition..."
The chant of the spell and the Magic Fluctuation appeared.
It was then that Heidi suddenly came to the realization.
She turned to look back at Springs, then at the original text holder by her side. Coincidentally, Ronald’s spell was completed, and their bodies flew into the sky, carried by the ’Astronomy Master’ spell.
Witnessing the ground that gradually shrank and the powerful Magic Fluctuation by her side,
Heidi’s gaze suddenly grew dim.
Although she had left her previous shock behind, she still allowed Ronald to direct her motionlessly, besides correcting their direction of flight, she didn’t say another word.
```
"..."

Compared to the hidden hills of the "Nine Commandments Meeting," the place where Mil resided wasn’t too far away. Not all of the wealthy or the common folk in the Springs region lived within the city.
Here, there were scattered small fishing villages and several families living together at the foot of the mountains in small settlements, some of whom had built their own suburban villas.
The location pointed out to Ronald by Heidi.
It was a suburban manor built independently around the Springs.
Arriving right above the estate, Ronald didn’t descend immediately but maintained a considerable altitude as he gazed down upon the manor.
The power of "Fury" told him that there indeed were signs of people moving about inside the manor.
However, after meticulous discernment, he couldn’t detect emotional fluctuations similar to those of Mil.
Was the target not at home? Or was there a problem with the information Heidi provided?
After mulling silently for a few seconds, Ronald still chose to strike first, talk later. With the absolute advantage in terms of force, it shouldn’t be a problem to suppress the manor below.
The power of "Fury" was already summoned in his hand.
With a single wave of his hand, without the need for an incantation, black hellish mist instantly transformed into a curtain that cascaded down, enveloping the entire manor and successfully capturing the consciousness of everyone within.
After completing this step, Ronald raised an eyebrow.
He was quite certain that he had suppressed the entire manor, not a single living soul should be able to move at this moment.
But, oddly enough, the tactile feedback from the power of "Fury" suggested otherwise.
Within the manor below, a being with a human form was walking out through the hellish mist. Judging solely by body shape, it appeared to be that of a young girl.
"..."
Ronald vividly remembered.
Mil, although not human, was still subject to the influence of the "Divine Comedy" spell. So what was this thing that wasn’t affected?
While rapidly analyzing the possibilities in his mind, Ronald didn’t forget to speak to Heidi beside him:
"Heidi, things might get dangerous now."
"Do you want to hide for a bit?"
"..."
The downhearted Heidi shook her head and answered in a very soft voice:
"My lord, please let me watch from the side."
"..."
Ronald gave a slight nod to acknowledge.
He didn’t dwell on Heidi’s current mental state any longer and once again uttered the incantation of the "Astronomy Master" with one hand pointing downward.
"Starting from the relationship between the entire earth and the sky, we will begin to construct our understanding!"
Bang——
The power of "Star Traction" took effect instantly.
The humanoid object that had still been walking out from the manor on the ground was suddenly dominated by the magic power, then forcibly smashed through the roof and flew upwards.
Under the pitch-black night sky, Ronald watched the other’s figure closely.
Before the individual reached his position, Ronald’s excellent eyesight recognized that the appearance did indeed resemble Mil. Moreover, completely controlled by the spell, this being revealed no sense of fear or anxiety.
At this very moment, an odd feeling emerged in Ronald’s heart.
It was as though this individual, identical in appearance and stature, wasn’t Mil herself.
Soon, the distance between the two had closed.
Faced with the subtly expressive Ronald, Mil also showed a resigned expression, speaking first:
"Good evening, Mr. Ronald."
"We meet again, don’t we?"
