Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength
Chapter 1344 - 1338: Light Upon the Sea
Ronald said nothing more.
Facing the inquiry from this transmission mage, he directly handed over the introduction letter written by Councilman Darman.
"Oh? Mr. Darman?"
The transmission mage immediately recognized the marking on the envelope.
He suspiciously took the envelope handed over by Ronald, then opened it to read its contents.
When Darman wrote this introduction letter in the treehouse, he was indeed in a hurry, and the content was brief and concise.
This transmission mage quickly finished reading it, and a trace of impatience immediately appeared on his face: 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"Darman, this guy... Even at a time like this, he still finds time to bother me!"
He muttered a complaint.
However, the mage did not refuse Darman's request.
He looked up again at Ronald and his companion, and his attitude no longer had the aggressive questioning tone:
"I already know the situation."
"Helping you with a transmission, of course, is no problem. But I must declare in advance—the dangers and interests involved, you'll need to take responsibility for yourselves!"
Ronald, of course, had no opinion on this matter:
"Mr. Warner, both of us are capable of handling the dangers during transmission, so you don't need to worry at all."
"So... the specific time?" The transmission mage, who was in charge of building ships, glanced occasionally at the construction progress behind him, his tight schedule prompting him to advance the topic, "Don't tell me it's after Lin Yin City's army breaks through Harmono's defenses."
"If that's really the case—rather than being torn to pieces by the dangers of transmission magic, I'd better arrange for you to sit on a small boat. Although I can't guarantee you'll smoothly escape enemy pursuit, it's still much safer than transmission magic."
These words sounded cold, but in reality, they were showing concern for the lives of Ronald and his companion.
After all, in the eyes of those who are familiar with this ability, transmitting living people and premeditated murder are not very different. Choosing such a method just to escape pursuers would indeed be somewhat foolish.
Ronald wasn't displeased with this type of person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and he responded with a smile:
"Mr. Warner, let's set the time for tomorrow noon."
"However, I must clarify one thing in advance—this time, the transmission needs to cover a very long distance, almost spanning the length of the entire planet!"
Upon hearing this, the transmission mage's face immediately showed the confidence of a scholar, and his tone turned disdainful:
"No matter how long the distance is, it's not farther than the distance between two worlds."
"This transmission ability was originally inspired by summoning magic, even capable of object transmission across worlds, so what's the big deal about the length of a mere planet!"
After responding to this question.
The transmission mage saw that Ronald and Katherine had no intention of asking further questions, so he gently waved to the two of them before decisively heading towards the ship under construction.
"If there's nothing else, I need to get back to work. Please feel free to do as you wish."
After bidding farewell, there came the supervisor's yelling:
"Hey! Nixon! The wood over there at the keel must not have a single gap showing; are you trying to feed the fish by going into the seawater? If you truly cherish those fish more than your own body, then I do support your choice, but don't pass this danger onto others who are preparing to board this ship!"
"..."
Seeing this transmission mage go back to work.
Without turning his head, Ronald asked Catherine beside him:
"Catherine, do you still think this Warner is a spy planted by Lin Yin City?"
Katherine responded without backing down:
"If you're curious, why don't I go up and ask him?"
Ronald shook his head and surrendered decisively:
"Let's drop it."
In agreement with the transmission mage, Ronald and his companion found no need to spend more time at the dock here.
So they retraced their steps and waited quietly by the mailbox for Alya's reply.
The sealing magic of the fairy tale practitioner was quite miraculous.
After night fell that evening, when Ronald thought they might not receive Alya's reply until the next morning.
A faint fluctuation of magic suddenly flashed across the mailbox in front of them. If Ronald and his companion hadn't been keeping an eye on this mailbox, they might have missed this small movement!
Ronald and Catherine exchanged a glance, the young girl taking the lead to speak:
"Ronald, it looks like the reply from the other side has arrived?"
Without a word, Ronald stepped forward and opened the mailbox.
He took out the letter and looked at it, indeed finding that at the moment the magical fluctuation occurred, Alya's reply was placed on top of all the other letters that were temporarily undelivered due to the war.
"We definitely owe a huge favor this time..."
Ronald murmured quietly, then opened the envelope and began to read:
"Dear Ronald:
I am very glad that you have found a mage willing to help in Harmono.
Even more surprising is that the transmission ability you mentioned is not difficult. At least, with the spellcasting level of the people I know, it is entirely manageable. So, as per the time you mentioned in your letter, I will arrange for people to greet you on the Southern Continent.
Please also note—due to the time difference, when you transmit at noon, it will be nighttime when you arrive on the Southern Continent, so please make corresponding arrangements.
Finally, I wish you all the best and no obstacles on your journey.
Yours faithfully, Alya, always at your service."
The Alya who sent this reply seemed to sense the tension in Ronald's current situation.
So instead of writing too many greetings in her letter as she did the first time, aside from a few brief blessings, she told Ronald directly about the plan for this operation in straightforward language.
Catherine, who had come closer, also finished reading the contents of the letter.
She then opened her mouth and asked:
"Ronald, are we going to the travel agency to rest for a night, or should we head straight to the dock?"
Ronald made a decision immediately:
"To prevent any unexpected incidents, let's head straight to the dock."
Catherine sighed and shook her head but did not refuse:
"That's a real shame about my dinner. That devil originally promised to provide me with lavish meals for the coming days you know."
"Once this is over, you can eat whatever you want, my treat!"
Catherine was complaining, and Ronald simply promised to take her out for a meal.
With that, the two headed back towards the dock.
Upon arriving there once again.
The scene before them was still bustling with activity.
After all, the situation in Harmono was urgent, and to ensure they could escape in the event of defeat, nighttime was also when these casters had to continue their construction work.
However, things were different from when Ronald and his companion had left.
"Wait a second..."
"Catherine, take a look over there."
Relying on his excellent vision, Ronald pointed to a distant direction.
On the nighttime sea surface at this moment, he could vaguely see spots of light approaching the land!
