Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 523 - 520: Parting on Bad Terms

It was more than just understanding or making things clear.

For Ronald, he had recently come face to face with the Complete Technique and then he should have killed the person who possessed such power.

The holder of "The Wealth of Nations" at the Nine Commandments secret meeting.

From any perspective, that was the most formidable presence among Ronald’s enemies.

But speaking of the details of the Complete Technique...

What Ronald currently understood was only some rather superficial knowledge.

Firstly, not all scriptures came with a Complete Technique; some with more singular functions could master all spells through trials, and these rarely involved any Complete Technique.

And the ones that could meet the conditions...

— Owned scriptures with multiple spells, which also required various methods to activate.

— The ownership of the scripture must be one’s own.

— Mastery of all spells.

Once the above three points were completed, some scriptures would unleash their intrinsic abilities, granting the holder the most core and potent spell of that scripture.

Based on Ronald’s personal experience. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

When the three scriptures of Divine Comedy - Paradise, Divine Comedy - Hell, and Divine Comedy Purgatory unified, he vaguely sensed the strongest ability that the Divine Comedy would ultimately display.

— A spell closely related to humans.

It was just a pity that Ronald, who had not yet fully mastered all the spells of the Divine Comedy, had no opportunity to witness the true form of this ability.

Meanwhile, Fanny in the living room continued to share the information she knew:

"Madam Alya, she is one of the known scripture holders on the mystical front who has surely mastered the Complete Technique. When she arrived in Springs, this was something my teacher instructed me to pay close attention to."

"..."

"I understand the general situation." After listening to Fanny finish relaying what she knew, Ronald thought for a few seconds and slowly nodded, but the inquiry in his eyes did not cease, "Then, regarding Mil’s scripture, you really have no other information to provide?"

"..."

Fanny fell silent.

And this time, her silence was longer than all the previous ones.

After considerable thought, she hesitantly continued:

"That puppet, could it possibly completely replace a human?"

Hearing this somewhat uncertain statement from Fanny, the investigator Heracles couldn’t help but interject:

"Completely replace a human, isn’t that statement a bit too vague?"

"Can you be more precise?"

Being pressed by Heracles, Fanny hesitated for a moment.

Thinking that the information had already been disclosed to this extent, she saw no need to continue hiding and spoke very plainly:

"I’m referring to the Complete Technique of this scripture."

"According to the records of our school, the last holder of this scripture was able to use the Complete Technique to create puppets indistinguishable from living people, perfectly replicating their memories and emotions. Due to the dreadful consequences caused by this terrifying ability, our predecessors paid a heavy price to successfully resolve it, so..."

"So, you couldn’t resist the temptation of this ability, unsealed it, and tried to control this scripture. And the final result is the mess with Mil you’ve caused!"

Heracles now had no intention of sparing Fanny’s feelings.

She blurted out the actions of the "Twelve Witches" and then continued to mock:

"So if you had succeeded, who did you want to replace with a puppet?"

Looking at Heracles, Ronald was slightly surprised.

In his memory, Heracles was exceptionally adept at managing her emotions, and her actions were always careful and prudent. This kind of emotional excitement, like what she was showing now, was indeed a rare sight.

Immediately, speculations about Heracles’s state popped into his mind.

Was it due to her serving in the spy agency in Entrode and the frequent changes of identity that led to Heracles’s current attitude?

While Ronald silently analyzed the situation,

he heard Fanny’s tone becoming harsh in response to Halloys’s mockery:

"Miss, we simply don’t want to be left behind by the times!"

"Ever since the split of the Witch Coven, the stance of the ’Twelve Witches’ has been very firm, without any intention of falling into heresy!"

"Yet everyone can see for themselves what the world is like today."

"If we don’t find a way to obtain stronger abilities, it’ll be difficult for us to ensure our place in the future after arrival."

"..."

Seeing that Halloys and Fanny were coming head to head, Ronald had no choice but to step in to ease the tension:

"Alright, alright, we’re currently united in our fight against Lumir."

"Focus on solving the problem rather than infighting among ourselves."

Ronald’s face deserved some respect, after all.

Upon hearing these words of persuasion, Halloys stopped speaking, crossed her arms, turned to the side, and clearly didn’t want to continue meddling in these matters.

"..."

After calming down for a few seconds, Fanny’s gaze returned to its normal clarity:

"Mr. Ronald, I was out of line."

"It’s just that this matter concerns the school, so I got a bit impulsive."

Ronald shook his head in understanding:

"No problem."

Ronald was indeed someone who handled things properly.

Even though he wasn’t very optimistic about the "Twelve Witches" experiment, he had accepted the three meteorites they offered, and he decided he would provide help as much as he could.

Having made up his mind, Ronald then continued to speak to the young girl in front of him:

"Now, it’s my turn to recount what happened tonight, and I’m sure you’re eager to hear it."

"At first, it was me and my companion who noticed the issue."

"..."

The same spiel he had for the guards and investigators.

Ronald recited it with a hint of proficiency, and Fanny’s expression gradually became complex, particularly when she heard that puppets could produce other puppets on their own, the investigator’s sense of crisis was almost palpable.

"They can create themselves, how is that possible!"

"When I was researching in the school, I didn’t find anything about this."

Ronald could only shrug in resignation:

"Fanny, as you yourself said earlier, times have changed."

"People who can transcend common sense, like Lumir, are probably going to become increasingly common. If this continues to develop... I would suggest that you prepare in advance."

"..."

Throughout the conversation, the topics dwindled one by one.

Until there was nothing left to say, Fanny stood up on her own initiative:

"Mr. Ronald, the information you’ve provided tonight is extremely important. On behalf of the ’Twelve Witches’, I thank you for your help."

"I will submit the information and depending on the teacher’s feedback, choose our next course of action. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

After exchanging these pleasantries, Fanny turned her head and left.

And when leaving Ronald’s house, she did not forget to close the door.

Seeing the witch depart, Halloys turned around and cursed:

"Pah—"

"These schools, they’re all the same."
