Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength Chapter 1463 1457: A Silhouette Arriving Beneath the Night C

Ronald and Costate gradually approached the ground.

At this mont, the surface was a complete scorched ruin, with a peculiar sll perating the air due to the lightning baptism.

Especially near so tal products.

There were even arcs of lightning faintly flickering, indicating that this place was not safe even though the attack had ended.

Of course, this scene could not threaten Ronald and Costate.

They landed here very boldly, standing in the middle of the ravaged ruins.

Zzz——

The next mont, a teeth-aching sound rang from beneath their feet.

Ronald realized the issue, quickly lifted his foot and saw that the sole was deford from the high temperature of the ground.

"I..."

Ronald instinctively wanted to swear.

But he imdiately realized that the scene before him was the result of his spell, and it was his own choice to land.

If he really started swearing here, wouldn't that be equal to complaining about himself?

"..."

"After checking out the situation here, we might need to get new shoes first."

Ronald chose not to dwell on the issue.

Maintaining his last bit of dignity, he quickly extended the protection of [Guardian Angel] to his shoe soles.

Otherwise, taking a few more steps here.

He feared he would be moving barefoot, as his shoes would be completely burnt through.

...

Next, Ronald and Costate examined the ruins.

Things were indeed as they perceived.

No one or creature survived the recent lightning strike.

The ruins were simply ruins, with no remnants of life to be found.

"Could it... really be over?"

Ronald found it sowhat unreal.

Starting from [Gried], traveling by ship, and frequently encountering or directly facing matters related to [Nine Commandnts Conference] throughout the journey.

Yet such a final target, seen as the ultimate "Boss" enemy.

Was easily annihilated by him?

The severe disparity made it hard for anyone to accept this reality imdiately, Ronald's expression was quite grim.

But at this ti.

Ronald and Costate simultaneously paused and turned their heads to the center of the city.

At this mont, a notable magic fluctuation approached from the city center towards them.

——This guy is remarkably fast!

Just finished attacking the administrative unit and killing several original hold mbers.

This was logically the enemy preparing for a counterattack.

However, when Ronald was preparing to strike early, he stopped summoning the original hold.

Due to the emotional fluctuations sensed by "Divine Cody - Hell" at this mont.

Ronald felt it was particularly familiar!

Soon, the owner of this magic fluctuation erged from across the chaotic square.

The mont Ronald saw the figure, he couldn't help but shout loudly:

"Nicole, it really is you?!"

The newcor was none other than Nicole, now a top investigator.

Under the night sky, the female investigator hurriedly ca over, and upon seeing Ronald and Costate here, her expression involuntarily turned into joy:

"Ronald, I knew it was you!"

"Such exaggerated Thunder Magic, who else but you could cast it!"

Imdiately rushed over without hesitation, and soon used a warm hug to express her feelings.

Ronald and Nicole hugged, patting each other's backs.

Only then did they release and stared at each other again.

"Tell , why are you here?" Ronald asked first.

"His Highness is preparing to attack from the north." Nicole shook her head, answering promptly.

She then lowered her voice, leaned close to Ronald, and continued:

"More skilled investigators will be sent by His Highness to scout the city of [Nine Commandnts Conference] in advance and do what they can."

Ronald noticed Nicole's little thoughts and whispered a complent back:

"So, the more skilled investigator is you?"

Feeling satisfied with Ronald's response, Nicole imdiately put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest:

"Who else could it be?"

"I'm now the ace of the Investigation Bureau, even if Willard cos, he'd only be on par with !"

After exchanging greetings and waiting for Nicole to finish her prideful mont.

Ronald quickly steered the conversation to the main topic:

"Nicole, I ca to this city to ambush [Nine Commandnts Conference] and wipe out their leaders. After the recent attack, I've confird everyone in this building is annihilated."

"But this is their city, besides, there should be other clues we are not aware of. You've arrived in this city earlier than us, you should know more about it, right?"

Upon hearing Ronald's words, Nicole's expression showed a knowing look.

She then shrugged, responding with a hint of regret:

"That's unfortunate, you're a step late."

"Tonight, the casters here were indeed core mbers of [Nine Commandnts Conference], but most were city managent elites, not combat experts..."

At this point, Nicole paused, raised her hand, and pointed towards the eastern wilderness:

"Yesterday evening, the president of [Nine Commandnts Conference] left this city with many core mbers. If you want to catch them all, you'll probably have to wait here for a bit."

"..."

Nicole's explanation made Ronald fall into contemplation.

The timing of [Nine Commandnts Conference]'s departure was too coincidental, almost perfectly corresponding to the events on the island ruins.

Linking to the known situations, Ronald could not help but speculate.

Perhaps stimulated by the island ruins incident, the group entrenched here, under pressure from circumstances, planned to stake everything on the Church Holy Capital buried in history?

If this assumption is true, then the situation is really not good.

Ronald was contemplating the current situation.

But at that mont, Nicole spoke with so excitent, interrupting his thoughts:

"Hey, Ronald, can you do a favor?"

Ronald imdiately responded:

"What favor? If I can help, I surely won't decline."

Nicole smiled and nodded, very satisfied with this.

She then bent over, pulling Ronald down to her height, covered their voices with her hands, and spoke in an excited yet secretive voice:

"From what I gather, though most left with the president, they didn't take "Interpretation Book"."

"Want to join in grabbing it?"
