CHAPTER 717: CHAPTER 712: THE TRUTH

"If we’re talking about related information..."

"That must be it."

Ronald had barely heard the Light Spirit’s response when he took out the "Organic Encyclopedia" and placed it in front of him.

After all, no matter what the people in Yizi Forest were up to,

as long as their target was still related to the original text, the remaining third of the "Organic Encyclopedia" was an unavoidable obstacle.

Since the Light Spirit needed related information,

the part Ronald held was bound to meet the requirements.

"This... This is an original text..."

Ronald took out the "Organic Encyclopedia" without any burden in his heart, but the Caster from the Sorato School standing beside him couldn’t maintain such a carefree attitude.

Even though their school also possessed powerful original texts,

Ronald’s casual attitude and the distinct appearance of the "Organic Encyclopedia" compared to other original texts still caused a cognitive shock to the two elders, shaking their aged bodies:

"Mr. Ronald, this..."

"As you see, this is the starting point of the changes in Yizi Forest, and everything stems from here. If we can fully control it, we can immediately contain this terrible disaster."

Ronald answered in a flat tone.

Before him, the Light Spirit Oer wasn’t concerned about the existence of the original text either.

It stretched its pure white palm and gently brushed over the "Organic Encyclopedia," the faint white light on its body flashing instantly.

Swoosh—

This flash was slightly different from when it was awakened.

Seconds later, the circular plaza beneath the cross on the high platform began to rhythmically tremble, as the flowing bluish substance started to pulse. Soon after, a Spell circuit closely connected to the Light Spirit Oer appeared between it and the bluish substance.

In an instant, the Blue Secret Altar was illuminated by a bright light of the Spell.

In the midst of numerous magic circuits, the Light Spirit, like a tree with spreading roots, was integrating all the magical power in the field.

Costate timely explained to Ronald by his ear:

"Sir, the Light Spirit is searching for information. Without their race’s unique memory browsing...and decoding methods, it’s impossible for ordinary life forms to achieve this."

A flicker of understanding crossed Ronald’s eyes:

"I see."

Although the Light Spirit had just explained its memory-reading ability, Costate seemed to have conducted similar research and uncovered some truths about this unique ’constitution’.

Under everyone’s gaze,

the Light Spirit continued searching the memory for five minutes.

When it stopped, the changes previously affecting the Blue Secret Altar continued, with the surrounding magic still moving with the inertia.

At that moment, Light Spirit Oer spoke:

"Mr. Ronald, I have found something."

"In the northern part of Yizi Forest, several months ago, a team of Casters did indeed come into contact with this original text, but they differ from the hidden manipulator you were expecting."

Ronald looked perplexed:

"How so?"

Light Spirit Oer continued to explain:

"They were a team that entered the forest for normal training, but they unexpectedly encountered the current situation of Yizi under the influence of the original text. Encountering the ’Organic Encyclopedia’, their leader thought they were extremely lucky to have found an ownerless original text."

At this, Ronald speculated:

"So, driven by desire, they tried to take the ’Organic Encyclopedia’?"

"That’s what normal Casters would do," confirmed the Light Spirit, then continued detailing the subsequent attack, "Unfortunately, they did not possess the corresponding power."

"Although they defeated the evolutionary life initially appearing due to the disturbance in the original text, all the leaders of the team died from deadly biological toxins. Only a young survivor, carrying a third of the original text separated during the battle, managed to escape the forest—he couldn’t even reenter the toxic area."

```

"..."

Where did this protagonist archetype come from?

Ronald immediately felt a sense of déjà vu.

The mentor leads the team into the forest, then an accident causes everyone to perish, and he himself escapes the scene with a damaged artifact. What next— tasked with the responsibility of resolving the Yizi Forest crisis with the goal of gathering the "Organic Encyclopedia" to enhance combat abilities.

Isn’t this just the perfect template for a novel’s protagonist?

On the other hand, look at Ronald himself— powerful, knowledgeable of many world secrets, and also active in retrieving the "Organic Encyclopedia," accompanied by several complex minions.

Is he set to be the grandfather doling out equipment?

Or the ultimate boss in the other protagonist’s script?

Ronald internally criticized the situation, but outwardly he asked Light Spirit Oer seriously,

"So, where is this young man right now?"

Light Spirit Oer continued,

"He has entered a camp established by the Secret of Aogen on the western side of the forest."

"When the Casters are scattered throughout the forest, their abilities are not weaker than the united Sorato, but now they have gathered the Casters together, constructing an impenetrable defense Array."

"The tiny lives I’ve collected to suppress are unable to breach it."

Ronald nodded in response,

"Thank you, this information is sufficient."

The information provided by the Light Spirit wasn’t perfect, but it was enough for Ronald.

Having confirmed the destination and the whereabouts of the final third of the original text, the issue with Yizi Forest could be resolved almost immediately.

At that moment, Ronald turned to the other two Sorato school Casters:

"Esteemed elders, I also greatly appreciate your cooperation."

"Since the matter is quite urgent, I won’t take up more of your time."

"The issues in Yizi should indeed take priority." One of the elders responded cordially, "Mr. Ronald, may you have a smooth journey and successfully resolve this crisis."

Ronald didn’t say much more and turned back in the direction they had come from:

"Costate, let’s go."

"..."

They made their way back to the surface.

At that moment, Il was playing with Helle on the lawn.

Although Ronald and his companion hadn’t been gone long, the two of them were completely unconcerned about the current situation and were rather enjoying the leisure time after continuous traveling.

Hearing the noise of Ronald and his team coming out,

Il smiled leading Helle over,

"Have you come out, sir?"

Ronald responded,

"The situation isn’t bad, and the matter is nearly concluded."

Costate then asked from the side,

"Sir, do we leave immediately?"

Ronald confirmed,

"Yes, immediately."

"But unlike before, this time we’ll be flying."

The moment the words landed, the chanting of spells from "Astronomy Master" started:

"Starting from the relationship between the entire earth and the sky, we will begin to shape our understanding."
