My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Sylvia paused for a bit with a thoughtful expression.

Although the City lord could not be approached just by just anyone, the same thing could not be said to those around him.

Although less in authority, they still have considerable power in Serene City.

"If it's like that, then I think Sister Shelsea fits the criteria."

Being a Silver Grade grimoire user, it could be said that Shelsea was one of the popular figures in Serene City.

Though she could not compare to those old guys, her future was promising and hence, she obtained a lot of connections and even knew a lot of the top figures in Serene City.

And aside from that, Shelsea was the only person she knew with some 'considerable power' in Serene City, so she could only recommend her as well.

"Really?" Lucas asked doubtfully.

Sylvia nodded her head and explained.

"At the very least, she is the only person I know who has considerable power in Serene City. If you ask her, though, maybe she might be able to recommend someone I am not familiar with?"

Thinking of that, Lucas nodded his head in understanding. As their leader and a woman much mature in age than Sylvia, she was bound to encounter more people and create more connections compared to her.

Not beating around the bush, Lucas inquired where Shelsea was at this moment. The earlier he could implement this plan, the better.

"Investigating the bandits that tried to rob us before. She said she already has some leads. At the same time, she is also searching for a suitable beast to hunt."

"If you want, I can bring you to her tomorrow, what do you think?"

Lucas agreed.

He doesn't have any particular plans tomorrow anyway.

"Right, can you tell me more about the leads regarding the bandits?"

Serene City was infested by banditry. One moment you were walking peacefully, the next moment, you would get robbed.

He also did not forget that he was robbed earlier on the way home.

Now that they were in the topic, he figured that he should learn more about them so that he could cope properly once the same situation arises.

Nodding her head, Sylvia began to explain what she knew.

Aside from that, Lucas also asked her some questions regarding the inner workings in Serene City.

Although he had already learned a lot from the information he bought, the information once could obtain from paper might not be the same information one could obtain from the mouth after all.

The more information he knew, the better.

Fortunately, Sylvia was quite patient with him and answered all of his questions except those she could not.

Time gradually passed and the night was getting deeper.

Sylvia bid farewell after they finalize where they would meet tomorrow.

Since it was already dark, Lucas decided to accompany her back to her home.

However, she insisted that it was alright and that she could manage.

Unfortunately, Lucas insisted as well. He could not allow a lady to go home on her own, especially after what he experienced earlier. He was worried that she might get robbed in the street.

Syvlia gave in after a few moments. However, she said that she does not want to waste his time so accompanying her all the way to a crowded area would be enough.

In the end, Lucas could only agree to such an arrangement.

"Tomorrow morning at Black Scroll Bar, right?" Lucas confirmed once more.

Sylvia nodded her head softly. She waved her hand and bid him farewell. Her figure disappeared on the busy street.

And it was only then that Lucas turned around to go home.

Due to what he experienced earlier, he was specially cautious as he walked home along the Spot.

Fortunately, he did not encounter any kind of incident, arriving safely at his own home.

Morning came in the blink of an eye.

Lucas woke up early as usual.

After wearing his exercise outfit, he went for a jog out of his home.

Ever since he arrived at Serene City, Lucas had been doing his usual workout every morning as well.

However, the previous workout was now too easy for him after he was enhanced by his grimoire a few times so he decided to double his usual routines, and it was only then that he would feel a little strain and feel like he was truly working out.

An hour later, Lucas returned home with sweats dripping over his body.

He took a shower and cooked a simple breakfast for him and Spot.

He also summoned the Mirage Worm, which he now conveniently named as Tony.

Tony materialized out of the grimoire with a fearful expression. His fat body wrigled as he looked around, trying to determine where he was.

It was only when he determined that there was no enemy and that he was safe, that he calmed down and looked at Lucas.

Shaking his head, Lucas handed him a mutated vegetable.

Tony was a vegetarian so Lucas had been feeding him vegetables and leaves from time to time these past few days.

However, if he had to choose, Tony would surely choose not to get summoned just to eat some ordinary veggies.

After all, inside the grimoire, his basic needs would be met so there was actually no need to eat.

This time, Lucas did not back down and still chose to summon him from time to time.

Getting in and out of the grimoire as fast as possible was also considered training after all.

At the same time, eating ordinary mutated vegetables and leaves could train Tony not to be picky with food in the future.

"Tony, you're getting fatter and fatter every time I summon you. Won't you consider exercising? Just look at Spot and me. Our body is full of muscles and we are very strong. What about you? Not only are you very timid, you also don't have any muscles."

"How are you gonna pull some ladies with such an attitude?"

Woof!

"See? Even Spot agrees with me."

Hearing that, the fatty Tony just wriggled his butt out and turned away from Lucas.

Although he did not make a sound, how could Lucas, the owner, not understand what he meant by his actions?

Basically, what he was saying was that he doesn't like to fight, so it doesn't matter if he's fat or not. If there's an enemy, he could just hide and he would be safe.

As for the ladies that Lucas mentioned, Tony simply doesn't care about them.

Regarding that, Lucas could only shake his head.

This one was not a man of culture after all.

As for his timid attitude, Lucas actually did not think that it was a bad thing. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

He did not plan for Tony to become a frontliner beast anyway. That was Spot's role.

In truth, he could have created a training routine to slowly change his nature.

However, he knew that this would not be beneficial in the long run.

He might be able to change his attitude forcefully right now, but he was ultimately a timid beast to begin with. One way or another, he would show such a character whether anyone liked it or not.

To avoid complications in the future, Lucas decided just to let Tony be himself in the end.

If Tony was happy with such a life, then Lucas would be happy for him as well.

Anyway, after he finished eating breakfast, Lucas did not stay in the house any longer as he proceeded toward Black Scroll Bar to meet Sylvia.

Tony requested to be sent back inside the grimoire as soon as possible. Lucas did not stop him and cancelled his summoning.

Puting Spot above his head, Lucas walked cautiously, passing by the street where he was robbed yesterday.

To his surprise, the body was no longer there.

Seeing the marks left in the area, Lucas knew that the city guards were the one who picked up those bodies.

For that, he was somewhat thankful.

If the two bandits happened to have some bandit friends, and it was them who retrieved the body, there was a high chance that they would pursue everyone who used this street to catch the 'culprit'.

Since it was the city guards that took the body, Lucas heaved a sigh of relief as even if they somehow found that it was him, he would be able to reason out that it was all self defense.

Meanwhile, if it was the bandit friends that discovered and retrieved the body, there would be no reasoning out as they would surely go for revenge.

Lucas did not linger in the area for long.

Arriving at a relatively busy street, Lucas looked at the passing beast taxi and suddenly thought of riding one to Black Scroll Bar.

The fare was not expensive and he has some extra coins nowadays anyway.

Thinking of that, Lucas touched the pouch hidden beneath his shirt and felt the weight of the coins stored inside.

With a smile on his face, Lucas raised his hand in the air.

One beast taxi noticed his gesture, and hurriedly 'park' in front of him.

"Where to, boss?"

The driver was a middle-aged man with receding hairline. His beast was a humongous brown lizard that was attached to a wooden carriage.

"To Black Scroll Bar."

Lucas stepped inside the two wheel carriage as the driver ordered the lizard to move forward.

The lizard hissed and then galloped forward, pulling the carriage quite easily as if it were pulling just a few kilograms of cotton.

A few minutes later, the Black Scroll Bar signaged came into his view.

"How much for the fare?"
