"So? Why did you summon ?"
In a massive mansion at the prominent location of the Bellenford Capital, a young man was standing before a lush garden, flowers of every hue swaying gently in the breeze, making everything so beautiful.
And perched on his shoulder was an owl who looked quite ordinary from the outside. It was none other than Velmara, whose eyes looked sharp yet curious, fixed intently on Lucien’s face.
"I need your help."
After hearing his words, Lucien directly expressed what he wanted from him. Now he didn’t want to waste a single mont of his ti.
"Oh? My help? For what?"
Velmara was stunned and asked.
"If it is about tonight’s eting, then you don’t need to worry. Malcolm had already told everything."
He thought Lucien might be asking about the eting arranged by him with the help of Sera.
"No, not about that. I need your help right now."
However, Lucien shook his head and instead, he suddenly looked at the Owl on his shoulder and asked,
"Say, Velmara, are you only powerful at nightti or...?"
From what he knew from his previous life, owls were clearly active at night. So, he thought maybe Velmara was like that, too.
If his strength was lower during the day, then his plan might not work.
"What do you an? What about nightti? Why will I only be powerful at that ti?"
Velmara asked, clearly a little irritated.
"Kid, I am a spiritual beast, not so monsters. Don’t put in such a low position."
He said, while fluttering his wing, and directly disappearing from Lucien’s shoulder.
"My power mainly cos from my rank and from my mana core. Whether it is day or night, if I want to hide, nobody can find easily. Not to ntion my speed..."
Then, Lucien heard the proud voice of the Velmara from his other shoulder. He didn’t know when the owl was now already sitting there, with a smug face, if it could have one.
"Wow, that’s impressive."
Lucien also didn’t shy away and directly praised the beast, satisfying his vanity.
"But...although I know you have an excellent stealth ability, is your speed also really that great? How much ti will it take you to go to Viremond Duchy and return safely?"
He asked again with clear curiosity in his eyes, although hidden beneath them was sothing else that Velmara didn’t notice.
"Otheriwse? Do you think just re stealth ability can make so great? Kid, you clearly have no idea how vast the world is."
Velamara also seed happy to brag to soone, so he opened up and began to blabber,
"Although this kingdom is large, it is just that for . If I use my full speed, not to ntion going to that duchy, I can circle this entire kingdom in a day and return again."
He said, extending its neck, hidden beneath its thick feathers, clearly proud.
"Oh? So it isn’t hard to make a trip there and return imdiately in a day, huh."
Lucien mumbled as if impressed.
Then, he once again asked, trying to beco familiar with Velmara. After all, he needed his help, so he didn’t mind buttering him a little for that.
"What about class? Do you guys even have one?"
This was also sothing he wanted to know. If humans could have a class, it made no sense for a spiritual beast with sentient to not have one.
"Class? I don’t have one."
But to the surprise of Lucien, Velama shook his head and explained,
"At least not like you are thinking. After all, I am already in a beast contract with your grandfather, and my realm and power are linked with him in so way."
"However, a spiritual beast like can indeed have a class. I have seen one in the Shadow Kingdom."
When ntioning that place, his large eyes clearly showed a yearning for that world.
"Anyway, kid, I know what you are trying to do. I am as old as your grandfather and have seen the world. Whatever you want to ask, just ask. Don’t try to outsmart ."
However, the next mont big black eyes of Velmara suddenly turned to Lucien, turning serious.
Apparently, Lucien was too naive. Although Velmara was a beast, it was a Weaver rank one after all.
How could he not see what Lucien was trying to do?
"Cough...misunderstanding...you misunderstood ."
Lucien almost choked when he was called out by him. And here he thought he was getting closer.
Clearly, he was delusional.
’Maybe, my approach was wrong.’
He thought, straightened his back, and directly asked the major thing. Now that Velmara had given permission, he didn’t need to do any formality, did he?
"I want to know if this is your true form?"
He asked, clearly getting to the point.
"Hmm? What do you an?"
But Velmara was even more confused.
"Of course, this isn’t my true form. I am not this small. It is just that it is easier to move in this form, that’s all."
He still replied and looked at Lucien with curiosity,
"Why do you ask?"
Seeing him looking at him, Lucien coughed lightly and asked, a little embarrassed,
"Cough... uhum... so, if your form is big enough, could you carry right now and take to Viremond silently? I have sothing urgent to deal with."
He finally revealed his purpose. After getting information from Irwin, he realized that most of them were from Viremond, while a few of them were from other parts of the kingdom.
Moreover, that guy Hugo had already reached a full 100 points in debt value.
So, he finally decided to extract the debt directly. But, doing so from here wasn’t advisable, especially in this situation when everyone’s attention was on thier family.
Although he might be fine and the risk might be, he really didn’t want to expose his system’s secret in any way or form.
So, after thinking about it, he finally decided to use the most violent thod.
’Let’s take all the juice out of them and kill them directly. They are all my enemies anyway.’
This thod was a foolish one and might even be inefficient, but Lucien didn’t care.
He just wanted to increase his power while eliminating the evidence of his debt extraction directly from this world.
Basically, he was going for a hunt, a hunt to collect what everyone owed him one by one.
"Carry you to the Viremon Duchy now?"
Sure enough, when Velmara heard Lucien’s words, he was clearly surprised beyond belief.
After all, even for Malcolm, he only allowed him to ride when it was necessary. Why would he allow Lucien to do that?
Not to ntion, at this ti, leaving the Bellenford capital was too risky, and Malcolm had clearly warned him before.
"Yes, it is very important for , and I can’t delay further. You don’t have to tell Grandpa or anyone, just take there silently. Don’t worry, I don’t think anyone is keeping an eye on my location."
"The risk shouldn’t be high. By the ti night arrives, we will be here in the capital."
Lucien tried his best to sound plausible and asked for help, silencing Velmara in the process.
To be honest, asking for his help right now was a little risky. But he also knew there was a high chance Velmara would agree, given that he knew his strange class and abilities.
"Kid, what can you give for helping you?"
Sure enough, after thinking for a while, the owl turned his head and asked directly.
Unlike humans, spiritual beasts didn’t have much intrigue. Velmara indeed knew Lucien’s weird power that could even engulf a Phoenix fire and survive soone who was higher rank than him.
And that was only the tip of the iceberg he saw.
To be honest, he had a hunch that this guy was clearly hiding a shocking secret from them.
Of course, he was just curious and happy that a mber of their family was strong.
But if soone wanted to ask for his help, he wasn’t going to provide it for free. That was just foolish.
Moreover, seeing Lucien’s potential, he also had an idea of asking for sothing that he couldn’t gain with his low level of power. After all, when he entered the Shadow Kingdom, his vision was really expanded.
"Hmm? What can I give you?"
Lucien was stunned by his choice of words, but seeing that Velmara was serious, he thought for a while and said,
"What about a promise? Since you are at Weave rank, I don’t think I have anything to give you."
His greatest possession was the Dinsional Vault given by Malcolm. He didn’t believe Velmara didn’t know about it, so it made no sense to give sothing from there, as he might have already taken them from Malcolm.
So, he could only give a flimsy promise, betting on his potential.
"Deal! Let’s go then."
But to his surprise, Velmara directly agreed as if he was waiting for him to say that.
