Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1300 - 1294: A Gentle Approach

After stating his bargaining chip, Damman's face was full of confidence.

Because if Ronald and Catherine weren't lying, then this secret he's revealing now is definitely something that can be compelling.

"..."

The reality was almost exactly as Damman had confidently predicted.

Upon hearing this special method of traveling, Ronald became interested immediately, and even Catherine stopped her humming, quietly watching the two sides of the conversation.

"Mr. Damman, could you elaborate on this method of space teleportation?"

"Because it has only been developed for half a year, this spell actually still has some significant limitations." Seeing Ronald eagerly pursue the question, Damman knew he had piqued their interest, so he dared not withhold any information and quickly provided detailed explanations:

"First, this spell requires proficient users of Summoning Magic at both the starting and ending points; additionally, due to the immense power during space teleportation, the targeted destination needs to have enough strength, or else it could easily be torn to shreds."

Having succinctly pointed out the limitations of this spell, Damman didn't want Ronald to feel disheartened right away, so he hurriedly moved on to the benefits:

"Of course, there's no need to worry!"

"This ability is considered a top priority in spell research in Hamono. I believe that within a month, there should be significant further developments!"

"..."

After finishing his speech, Damman nervously looked at the man and woman before him.

However, after exchanging a glance with Catherine, Ronald almost immediately broke into a smile.

The teleportation spell comes with a fairly strong tearing force...

That point is quite trivial!

For Ronald and Catherine, who possess extremely strong physiques, this hardly poses any problem at all.

As for the need for proficient Casters of Summoning Magic at both ends...

Regarding this issue, Ronald also has a solution.

So he turned to look at one of the members of Hamono and spoke in a careful tone as if engaged in a real negotiation:

"Mr. Damman, the issues you've mentioned with the teleportation spell can both be resolved on our end."

"So, about your needs, can you tell us now?"

"..."

"Huh?"

Damman, surprised, let out a long sigh of relief.

He didn't ask Ronald and Catherine how they would solve the problem but instead went on to describe the current issues Hamono is facing:

"You both might not be aware, but Hamono is a city built on the kindness of its people. So, dealing with those who aren't friendly often presents many challenges."

As soon as Damman began to speak, Ronald understood their dilemma.

Thus, he proactively asked:

"From what you're saying - this city is facing enemies, but due to the mindset of the populace, you don't want to be seen as leaders using force to resolve the issue?"

"You truly are a wise person!" Damman didn't hold back his admiration for Ronald, "That's exactly the problem the city is currently facing."

Having confirmed Ronald's guess, Damman then wore a somber expression on his face:

"In fact, no one wanted things to escalate this far."

"Half a year ago, due to a world mutation, this forest edge connected to another desert, where tribes also lived…"

Damman clearly and orderly explained what happened in the city.

After the world mutation occurred half a year ago, connecting two regions, those living in the desert naturally eyed the resource-rich and picturesque forest, leading to a gradual migration.

Hamono, always treating others kindly, naturally had no reason to reject or resist these newcomers.

They warmly welcomed and assisted these people in settling in the forest, even providing many technological resources at no cost. However, the stark differences in culture and customs inevitably led to conflicts in daily life and development.

Even though Hamono was very friendly to those migrating tribes, the discontent and friction were slowly turning into contradictions.

It's just that one side had goodwill and the other had gratitude.

This is why these contradictions haven't escalated yet.

But now, everything is entirely different.

With Catherine's manipulation of the [Infinite Negative Domain] and the restoration of the world, it also means the return of space distortions.

The residents of Hamono haven't been too affected by these changes.

But the migrated tribes feel differently!

The incomplete migration of tribe members, the fear of an unfamiliar environment, and the frictions with neighbors are all bound to cause anxiety.

Especially now that they've suddenly been isolated to the far end of the world…

Nervousness, suspicion, anger...

These inevitable emotions quickly consumed the main thoughts of the tribe.

Following them.

Naturally, comes their 'righteous' revenge on Hamono.

After all, to these people, the world mutation was already an odd and sudden event, now with everything returning to its original state, driven by a sense of self-crisis, it's hard not to suspect - is this a conspiracy by some people in Hamono against them!

Upon hearing this.

Ronald also remembered the scenes he noticed on the way here.

If there were no surprises, the east of the city should be the direction where the tribe resides. The commotion is likely the disputes or actual armed conflicts between them and the residents of Hamono.

"So - do you want us outsiders to get rid of that tribal group entirely?"

Suddenly, Catherine spoke up.

And her suggestion aligns with the usual principles of the Astrology Tower Master's ways.

But Damman was clearly different from Catherine.

Upon hearing this suggestion, he immediately shivered and repeatedly shook his head in denial:

"No, no! That's too extreme!"

"Although their actions are indeed unethical, I can understand what kind of reactions helpless people might have in such situations."

"So my request is not for you to massacre them but to find a way to disperse them, or ensure that they no longer vent their anger on Hamono, this innocent city."

"Tsk—" Catherine shook her head and disinterestedly resumed humming her tune.

While Ronald, after carefully considering and weighing the urgency of the journey and Hamono's current situation.

He finally spoke to the councilor before him:

"Mr. Damman, if the situation is indeed as you've described, I can certainly offer help."

"However, specific actions would require on-site evaluation before making a decision."
