CH.165 Reporting to the Earl about the Curing

“Welcome back, Mr. Brian.” One of the maids welcomed me when I got back to the Sawyer estate.

“I’m back. Could you tell Alice I’ve returned.” I requested of the maid. I think Alice would like to know that I’m back.

“I apologize, but Miss Alice is away with Miss Paulina.” The maid said, bowing a bit.

“Oh, you don’t need to apologize for that.” I said. “It’s not like you control where they go or anything. Anyway. Is it possible for me to speak with either Angelina or the Earl?”

“I believe they are busy until lunch, but you could speak to them at the lunch table.” The maid said. “Unless this is something beyond a lunch conversation.”

“Well, it might be, but I guess I can ask when we eat.” I said. “I’d like to go take a bath before lunch. May I use the same room as I did last time?”

“Yes. It has been prepared for you. Do you require someone to fill up your bathtub?”

“No. I got it covered.” I answered.

“I see. Please, follow me.” She said before leading me back to my room.

After my bath, I was relaxing a bit. And that meant I had time for some packs of my own. Just because I feel like it. I guess I could also practice telekinesis, but I can do that when Alice and Paulina come back.

And I also want to open up some before Laura fully clears it in the night, as this is the first time I’ve ever opened any of it in Pack Opener. I did buy a booster box of it back, well, before I was transported here. It wasn’t a first edition box or anything, and I didn’t even get a Lava Golem, but that is the collector’s life. I did get Book of Life at that time, so perhaps I can get one now.

And if I can’t, I should at least get a few copies of Different Dimension Capsule and that can help me get what I want.

Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Pharaonic Guardian’[Yes] [No]

Yes. First pack of Pharaonic Guardian, let’s go!

Spoiler

PGD 1

Gravekeeper's Vassal, Timeater, Birdface, Gravekeeper's Cannonholder, Timidity, Book of Taiyou, Gravekeeper's Guard, Needle Wall, Gora Turtle

[collapse]

I like Gora. He is cute. But the effect is also quite powerful. Preventing monsters with more than 1900 attack from attacking. I’m not sure if it would really work, but if it does, he might be great in subduing powerful monsters. The bad part is, that it would affect my monsters as well, so I can’t really use it for anything but stall. But stalling for time might be even better in real life than in Yugioh.

I’m not exactly sure what Book of Taiyou would do. I think it might reveal hidden enemies, but again, not sure about it. As for Needle Wall and Timidity, they could be evil if I install them in the dungeon. Timidity making traps that can’t be destroyed and Needle Wall, well, making a needle wall trap.

Well, if I tried to make a dungeon that would kill people, I would use them, but I’m not so I won’t.

Next pack.

Spoiler

PGD 2

Gravekeeper's Spy, Dark Coffin, A Cat of Ill Omen, Terraforming, Master Kyonshee, Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier, Trap Dustshoot, Nightmare Horse, Winged Sage Falcos

[collapse]

Oh. Some nice stuff. No, not the Winged Sage Falcos. Sure it is okay, but nothing amazing.

Where it is at is A Cat of Ill Omen and Terraforming. A Cat of Ill Omen should be able to make me trap cards, probably. And Terraforming can get me field spells, so I can play more factory building simulator with rare field spells.

Gravekeeper's Spy could also be useful for either spy things, or teaching me some spy techniques. I guess I could use a ninja for it as well, but both is good.

Next pack.

Spoiler

PGD 3

Trap Dustshoot, Birdface, Pyramid Energy, Kryuel, Bottomless Shifting Sand, Timidity, Card Shuffle, A Cat of Ill Omen, King Tiger Wanghu

[collapse]

King Tiger Wanghu is ... interesting. It automatically destroys weak monsters when they are summoned, but monsters in the wild aren’t exactly summoned. I guess it would hard counter a local summoner that just spams weak summons.

Also Card Shuffle. Just why? Why are you so bad? Like not just for me right now, but as a whole? Who would ever use you? Pay life points to shuffle either player's deck. But it is once per turn.

Well, at least Pyramid Energy might see use. It is a quick-play boost to the attack or defense of all of my monsters.

Next pack.

Spoiler

PGD 4

Needle Wall, Birdface, Buster Rancher, Gravekeeper's Guard, Royal Tribute, Metamorphosis, Reasoning, Dark Dust Spirit, Jowls of Dark Demise

[collapse]

Hey look, it is the giant space-cannon, that was translated as Rancher. Goddammit Konami (of America), can’t you do anything correctly?

I did also get Metamorphosis and Reasoning. I have no clue how either of them work. No, that sounds wrong. I know how they work in Yugioh, but how do they work in real life?

Like, if I use Metamorphosis on someone, what would it do? Would it do anything? Would it do something like what happened to Jenna when I fused her with Fire Sorcerer? Would it just turn them into a disfigured mess? I have no idea and that card might not be safe. So at least we need to try it in the Factory first. It could be used to “cheat” out fusion monsters, but as it doesn’t count as a fusion summon, there is no way it would count for the summoning challenge.

Present were Thomas, Ellanora, Angelina (obviously) and her son Jonathan. No sign of Paulina or Alice.

“Yes. There is something I wish to report, but it isn’t exactly something that should be discussed while eating food.” I said, taking a quick but noticeable glance at Jonathan. Honestly, there is no problem with it, but I’d rather not have Jonathan hear about it. He doesn’t know about the System Support and he really doesn’t need to. I don’t know how kids, especially noble kids are in this world, but telling a kid that you are basically a superhero is a sure way of getting the news to spread. At least eventually. For a bit they might actually keep their mouth shut, but at some point they will want to show off.

“I understand.” Angelina said, noticing what I meant. “I’ll make time for you in the afternoon.”

“So, is this better?” She asked. We had escaped to her study, but we did get one extra. Ellanora, her mother, had come as well.

“Yeah, this is fine. This is something you’ll have to tell Thomas about anyway.”

“Is it something bad? Has something happened to the dhampir village?” Angelina asked.

“Yes, something has happened. No, it isn’t bad.” I began. “To make the long story short, I summoned a vampire and had him cure the blood curse from every dhampir in the village.”

...

...

My shortened story was met with silence.

“Excuse me, but let me confirm. You summoned a vampire?” Ellanora was the first to gather herself.

“Yes, I did. And I had him cure the blood curse of every dhampir there.”

“You can summon vampires?” Angelina wondered.

“Yes. I can summon... well, a lot of different things. Heroes, sages, angels, vampires. Also more monstrous summons like beasts and dragons. And machines like the mechanical carriage that I ride around.” I listed off few of the things I commonly use. I actually don’t really use any angels, but St. Joan is basically an angel with her light wings. And Guardian Angel John is an angel. I just have to get one, but Invasion of Chaos isn’t usually that nice to me.

“Did you say you can summon heroes?” Ellanora asked.

“Yeah. Not heroes of legends that you know, but calling them heroes is the easiest way of classifying them.” The hero I’m referring to is of course Black Luster Soldier. I guess Buster Blader could be a hero as well, but he is more of a dragon executioner.

“Could you summon one? Right here and now?” Ellanora asked.

“I can, if that is fine with you Angelina.” I just wanted to confirm this. This is Angelina’s office, well study, afterall.

“It won’t cause a mess or anything, will it?” Angelina asked.

“Most likely not, but I cannot 100% guarantee that it won’t.”

“Fine. Just keep this hero in check. I have important documents in this room.”

Well, she gave permission, so we are fine. I dug the card out of the collection and summoned him.

“Black Luster Soldier.”

Like always, a card appeared on the ground and my summon rose from it. Of course, the card was blue, as I was summoning a ritual monster.

[collapse]

Angelina and Ellanora ended up asking a bunch of questions from BLS, mainly about his heroic tales. I have to say, I really enjoyed hearing him speak about his fights against the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. I didn’t even know he did that, but apparently he did.

Spoiler

Now obviously, in terms of Yugioh lore, this isn’t the same Blue-Eyes that Priest Seto commanded, but one of the other three. Yes, there were a total of 4 different Blue-Eyes White Dragons, most likely, as there were four Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards. So BLS would be one of the beings that survived fighting a Blue-Eyes and possibly the one that began the legend of the White Dragon.

“So, what I actually wanted to ask is this. I promised to take a dhampir as a slave and help her get deemed stable. I need to know, can I bring her here or should I look into getting a house for us?” I asked. “I also need to get in contact with a slave trader, if that is alright.”

“Hmm. I don’t think I can answer that at this moment. In the end, my father is the one in charge so we have to ask him. I can help you get in contact with a slave trader though.” Angelina answered. “How quickly were you planning on taking this dhampir in?”

“Day after tomorrow.”

“... well, you work fast. I’ll ask my father about it and I’ll get an answer for you by dinner time. And I’ll get you in contact with a slave trader tomorrow, if that is fine.”

“Works for me.”

“As long as you can keep this dhampir in check, I see no problem in bringing her here.” I got the earl’s permission.

“Thank you.” I said as I lowered my head.

It wasn’t actually dinner time yet, and he had asked me to his study to give me the news.

After hearing the good news, I returned to my room until a maid came to inform me that Alice and Paulina had returned.

I walked with her towards the parlor room near the entrance of the mansion.
