My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Lucas followed behind Shelsea and Sylvia as they led him to an open restaurant two minutes away from the incident location earlier.

Although he was confused by how carefree she was in handling the matter earlier, he decided to hold his curiosity inside for the time being and just ask about it later.

The waiter approached them and asked for their order. Since all of them were still somewhat full, they decided to just order refreshments instead.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about meeting with an important person," Shelsea said the moment she sat down.

Lucas furrowed his brows, confusion appeared on his face as he sat down in front of her.

Likewise, Sylvia also sat down on the chair adjacent to theirs.

Staring at her intently, he asked, "What do you mean?"

"In truth, you are a special case in Serene City. We already agreed that you won't hide your identity that you are not from here, right?"

Lucas nodded his head.

After they entered Serene City, Shelsea had asked this question to him before.

Whether he wanted his identity to be kept a secret or not, they would willingly follow according to his wishes.

In her group, no one dared to snitch as none of them was like that.

At that time, Lucas did not think that it was a good idea to hide his identity. However, it doesn't mean that they should announce his identity to as many people as possible as well.

That was their agreement at that time.

"Well, I have reported your identity to some trusted people I know. Just so you know, it could be said that they are the 'important' people that you said you wanted to meet."

Lucas nodded his head one more time.

"How did it go?"

Since she said that they were some 'trusted' people, Lucas did not ask about them any further and just decided to ask how their reaction to that information.

"Of course, they were very surprised and elated. At first, they said that they wanted to meet you and verify this matter directly. However, I insisted that you need to rest first, so they decided to postpone it. I also did not know about your take on this matter, so I did not allow them to meet you yet, and wanted to consult you about it beforehand."

"If you wanted to, arranging a meeting between you and them would not be a problem."

Lucas paused for a moment and thought about his situation.

From the looks of it, his problem about meeting some important figures was not as great as he thought. In fact, Shelsea had directly solved it for him even before the matter was raised inside his head.

"These people… how important are they?"

This was important to know for Lucas.

If they were very important, he could meet them sooner and tell them about his plans.

The more important the person he would meet, and the more power they had in Serene City, the better and easier for them to conduct an expedition force to Serene City.

Hearing that, Shelsea chuckled.

"What do you think? Is the head City Guard and the City Lord important?"

Lucas' eyes constricted upon hearing her words. He did not expect that Shelsea's connection in Serene City was actually this deep.

Thinking that, it was not a wonder why she immediately knew that something was wrong the moment they were ambushed and robbed, and felt that it was not as simple as a bold robbery. With her connection in Serene City, even the most courageous bandits would not dare to rob her.

He wondered why she was confident in her actions of leaving behind the man earlier, it turned out that she has connections with the topmost people in Serene City. Perhaps, after they left, some city guards had already arrived to apprehend that man.

In terms of power and influence, both the head City Guard and the City Lord were already at the top in Serene City. Not to mention the fact that they were comrades in arms, and none would betray the other no matter what. Their combined power in Serene City was what allowed the Serene City to still stand its ground in this chaotic environment where not only where the beasts were a threat, there was also blatant banditry.

If he wanted some people that could lead an expedition back to the 'mainland', the head City Guard and the current City Lord was obviously the best that he could find in Serene City.

However, even though he wanted to meet them as soon as possible, Lucas knew that he could not be that rash.

Even though their reputation in Serene City was quite good, there was still no telling what they would do to him once they met.

With his current strength, he knew that he would be powerless if they decided to make a move on him.

After all, both the head City Guard, and the City Lord were Gold Star Rank summoners. From the information he knew, the weakest of their contracted beasts were those of Silver Grade and Silver Star Rank.

Were they a formidable existence? Of course!

Hence, Lucas did not want to meet them for the time being yet.

Besides that, he also needs to sort out what he could offer to them so that they will help him, and what kind of information he should divulge in order for them to value him, and so on.

In any case, before meeting them, he wanted to sort out everything first, and at the same time, increase his strength to have some sort of leverage in case everything goes awry.

"They're definitely important people…" Lucas stated.

Too important in fact that he did not dare to meet them just like that.

"What do you think about their stance in this matter?" He continued.

"It's good that you asked," Shelsea nodded her head.

The waiter returned, bringing them their set of refreshments.

Lucas took the pineapple juice, while both Shelsea and Sylvia took the orange juice they ordered.

After the waiter left, Shelsea continued.

"In truth, both of them were quite eager to meet you. As you know, the greatest wish and regret of the First Lord was that he failed to find more humans in this world. He died, thinking that Serene City was all of what humanity is left with. In order to protect this last bastion, he sacrificed his life and used his remaining power to ward off strong beasts away and forbid any dungeons from appearing near the Serene City ever again, allowing it to prosper almost uninterrupted till this day and onward."

Shelsea paused for a bit, closed her eyes and thought, 'Praise to the First Lord.'

Sylvia likewise closed her eyes muttering the same phrase as Shelsea.

Although he did not meet and witness the First Lord himself, Lucas could still feel his lingering will and valiance according to the information he obtained these past few days.

The First Lord deserves his respect, admiration and reputation in Serene City.

Heck, even bandits in Serene City would not dare sully the First Lord's name.

"The head City Guard, and the City Lord are eager to meet you, in order to realize the wish and regret of the First Lord."

"Actually, you don't have to worry about their attitude towards you. I know that they would not do you harm as long as you do not do harm to the overall situation in Serene City and its people."

"In fact, giving you time to adjust your life in Serene City and not forcefully abduct you is already an indication that they mean no harm and would want a friendly cooperation as much as possible. After all, you are our only link and our only hope to easily reconnect to the rest of mankind."

Lucas nodded his head understanding.

With their strength and power, it was as easy as catching a chicken if they wanted to get him.

Their attitude was pretty good, earning goodwill from Lucas.

However, even with that, he still did not want to risk it.

Meeting them directly was out of the question at this moment as he still needed to increase his abilities before the eventual expedition back to the mainland. However, this does not mean that he could not influence and make use of this connection even without meeting them.

"I don't want to meet them for the time being. However, I could provide some information first so that they could prepare. All I want is that I will be included if they plan to make an exploration team toward the mainland," Lucas replied honestly.

"Is this possible?" He continued.

After thinking for a bit, Shelsea nodded her head.

"I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I'll pass your intentions to them."

"Thank you!"

"No worries! Right, what do you plan to do next? I know that you are currently resting and waiting for an opportunity to return home, but before that, what do you plan on doing?" She asked.

A/N: The name of the First City Lord is still vacant. So, I decided that the number one top fan at the end of this month, December, will claim a spot, and the First City Lord will be named after them.

To check your current top fan, just go to the book profile and scroll down a bit. It should be visible just right under the novel's synopsis.

Aside from creating the story, this is the only way I could repay back those who supported this novel.

There will also be more opportunities like this in the future.

Thank you!
