Chapter 328: Do You Want to be My Summon?

After returning back to Fabio's house where Celestine is waiting, Celestine and I said our farewell to Fabio and his mother, and the two of us return back to the inn. Fabio will explain everything to her mother about our plan. I also have given her Blobbynecklace filled with Sonia's soil. She will learn how to contact Sonia from Fabio.

…I forgot. Fabio also hasn't tried to contact Sonia yet. Well, I think they will be fine. I have told him that he only needs to tap the accessories to call Sonia. I have told him that the ghost is our important ally who can relay message to anyone who carries her soil.

It's a long night, and I'm tired. I have to go out as soon as I wake up. I hope Fabio's battle-crazed brother is someone I can communicate with.

About this brother… his name is… let me think for a bit.

I think it's some kind of animal. Big one so… elephant? No, smaller. Rhino? That's Jewel. Oh, right! Bear! And his name is Bernard!

Am I right? I hope I'm right.

Bernard live in a city with the highest rate of monster attack. It's near the border with Tatrama. That mean it's a long way from the capital here.

I can ride Spot like usual, but he's injured. He will be healed soon thanks to Kayla, but it's best to wait until he's fully healed. That mean I will run first until then. I hope Spot can be healed during my journey.

Fighting two expert level mages at the same time must be exhausting. I didn't see the detail since I was cleaning up other pests.

So far, the reason I managed to win against expert level mages is because I have the element of surprise. It was rare for me to fight against them directly. And even when I was fighting directly, I used many surprising moves. Does that still count as element of surprise? If it was a magic element, my level would be master already.

I woke up at noon, and after having meal to fill my stomach, I discussed our plan with Celestine.

"So, I want you to stay here and teach Queen Carmen and Fabio about magic control. I might not be gone for long, but just knowing about magic control makes a lot of differences. Especially since Queen Carmen is an expert level mage. Are you okay with this plan?" I asked Celestine.

"Sure. If not for the situation, I would reject it and travel with you. But this city is too dangerous for just the two of them." Celestine said.

"That's right. Many times, I have thought that everyone is thinking too much. Although the king has been swapped, I still hoped that it wasn't the cult who did it. But seeing that there are too many people here with explosive devices, I know that the chance of the one responsible for all this is the cult. Anyway, I'll be leaving soon. Be careful." I said.

"You're the one who needs to be careful the most. Even if that Bernard doesn't have explosive device, that doesn't mean he's not related to the cult."

"I know. Albert and Fabio will be there once I arrive. Oh, and…"

"I know what you want. I'll try to get as many information as possible while I'm here. Some of my subordinates who saved the orphans back then were here. I've seen them when we first arrive here. Though I was disappointed that they don't recognize me from my face…" Celestine said.

Oh? They are the good ones who betrayed the cult for her, right? Their dedication to big boobs is top-notch. I just hope they will know the differences between Celestine's boobs and the next big boobs faction leader of the cult. As long as they don't betray us, it's fine. Albert has confirmed their intention that they agree to betray the cult, so I hope they know what they're doing.

"In that case, I think that's fine. I'll leave everything here to you then. I would like to call the others to help, but it seems that the colleges in Tatrama are already preparing to select the participants for the tournament. They are busy, so I can't call them. Then, I'll see you later."

I leave the city normally. Through the gate where Fabio is working. He saw me leave, then he returns back to his office.

As for the annoying gatekeeper, I guess this isn't his shift yet. I'll kill him after I find the king.

After making sure that no one is watching me, I leaped to the sky and run to the direction of the border city where Bernard is. It will be quite a long journey.

But since it will be just me and Victoria until Spot returns, I can try the gases experiment from the mysterious forest. I have grabbed each leaf with different color that I have tested on Victoria, and put them in a box. Tightly locked without letting any air in or out because of the danger.

I grabbed those boxes from the storage room in my home, and Victoria said something weird.

"Here comes Roy. He took the first step to be the biggest and the baddest drug dealer in this world."

"I'm experimenting with gases. Not drugs. And I don't think baddest is a correct word."

"Whatever the case, here's Roy experimenting with dangerous substances." Victoria said.

"Not really. The first one I want to try is the white leaf. It will produce gases that make us calm. I don't think that's dangerous." I said.

"Yeah, that thing was great. I felt really calm at that moment after breathing it in. It will be good if you combine it with your sleeping gas. Probably for your surgery as well."

Yeah, that's why for now, the calming gas is important. But if possible, I want to be able to produce the gas from red leaf before returning to the capital of Arturo. The black leaf was pretty awesome as well, but not everyone in the capital is from the cult. If I used that one, everyone will try to kill each other. At least if it's the red one… that thing is still terrible. But at least I don't think the red ones is to the point of killing. It just makes you hate someone to the point of fighting them. But still, innocent people can get hurt as well.

But if I know a place where only cult members gather, they will fight each other to the death. That would be awesome.

It has been two days since my journey started, and I failed to produce any result. Maybe my level is still too weak. Or maybe, the one that producing the gas is not the leaf. But the trees. The leaves just decide what kind of trees they are.

But now Spot is fully healed, I can get to my destination in a few hours. I'll practice more some other time.

Sonia has informed us that Spot is healed, and he's eager to join us. He didn't cause any trouble at all despite being far from me. I guess he's not that bad.

"Spot, once my summoning element leveled up, do you want to be my summon?" I asked Spot.

"You think I can? I'm in this world now. Not in that world."

"I can just transport you there, and make a contract with you there." I said.

No matter what, summoning element and taming element are too weird. How come one work so similar to each other, but can only work in different world? The biggest different would be that tamer can tame as many monsters as they can, while summoner can only make a contract with up to five monsters, but only able to do that every time we leveled up, and after we ate Pear-y Fruit as well.

Tamer can make a contract with any monster they see, but we can only make a contract with monsters when we're in Monsters World. But what if tamers go into Monsters World? Will they be able to make contract with the monsters there? If so, the combination of a summoner and a tamer will be the greatest of all.

"Hmm… I'm already your friend, so I don't think you will need to make a contract with me. How about you find another powerful monster instead to make a contract with? Then we can grow even stronger." Spot said.

"You're right. I'll do that then. But that will still be in the future once I reached advanced level." I said.

The only reason I asked Spot was because I'm afraid of him going wild and not following my order. but after leaving him under Kayla's care and nothing happened during that time, I think I can believe him more now. Maybe I should trust him more.

"Then, what kind of monsters do you think is good for me?" I asked.

"Looking at how you need to give a lot of order and a lot of monsters at once like the Werewolves to be under you, I think I know one. But that monster is very rare. When you're about to get one, take me with you to that world. I'll try to find that monster. If you have it with you, you can summon even a hundred monsters at once. Maybe even more." Spot explained.

A hundred monsters just by getting one monster? I want that!

"So, what kind of monster is it?" I asked.

"The ruler of the sky. They look like a human, but they are still monsters. It's an Archangel." Spot said.

Angel? Does that mean there's really a god?
