I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 215: Negotiations
"Forgive the rudeness my children displayed. It’s not easy to be the father of eight," Thalor said while returning to the group, the mood soured by his children’s deeds.
"Eight?!" Logan coughed, looking a little surprised.
"Yes, three from my first wife who are already on the front line, three from my second wife who are either on the front line or married off in various parts of this kingdom, and lastly those of my mistress, whom you just met." The king laughed, beginning to speak about each one as Logan zoned out a little.
"Sounds nice, king," Logan said as his eye twitched a little while trying not to look at Lisa who looked just as surprised as he did.
Logan kept following the group inside while talking with the king about how his power worked and why he believed the wyvern would have two other stages. He also emphasized the fact that it held a monarch blessing he could give out, and those under him would grow to be like him.
"And that is how my best creature, Scorch, got his mate to be like him. They are currently about to have hatchlings. I wonder how they will look." Logan said as they went back towards the round table, which was filled with snacks of various kinds so they could enjoy themselves while they continued speaking.
Logan, as before, sat in the same seat while Lisa and Rubina each took one beside him.
"Sounds interesting, hero of taming. I am guessing you want to extend the effects of this blessing and possibly make a deal with us?" Thalor said, trying to hold back his excitement. He wanted his personal wyvern to be the first on the list, but also knew that Logan would first choose some wyverns to take back and give them priority on the blessing.
Thalor was busy thinking of how many to give away. Wyverns were possibly why his country was feared, so he needed to at least add terms that would help them keep Logan from handing them out, as well as keeping those that weren’t born in his country from being prosperous.
"As I said before, the wyverns thrive here because it’s cold. You should know what it would mean if you take them from these lands that are always covered in snow," Thalor tried to make a solid point.
"If it’s about that, I have my way to make biomes that could keep them happy. I have various ice creatures like ice golems, Arctic bears, and even a special ice fox who can make my city a frozen wasteland within minutes." Logan smiled at the king’s attempt while informing him about his capabilities.
"But I do understand your point. I only ask for… four of these creatures. I will not add more to their numbers without permission, and if that does happen, I will pay for each offspring produced out of this country. I am sure we can set a good price that would benefit you. As for my creatures… I can rule over a maximum of fifteen. So remove three from that, and it means you can have twelve creatures that will keep evolving, sir. I think you can calculate how invaluable that would be for you. I may even need to ask for payment for that." Logan began explaining, knowing that sooner or later, he would get what he came for.
"Twelve!? That many?" The king began to get ideas. If they were already feared because of their wyverns, he could possibly help even his sons who were in the midst of war.
"Sergie, I am sure you will need your beast to evolve, am I right? If so, you will take it and join the war effort after it gets strong. I have left you behind because I needed at least one knight to protect us. But if my beast becomes strong, then that means you can go out and join my sons, make sure they are safe." The king looked at his nephew, who had always asked to join his sons in war, and now he would be able to join.
"Yes, your majesty, should I call them back so their creatures can be blessed? If so, I can take them to the kingdom of Rosengard, which is closer, and then return back to the battle."
"Yes, have the ten best riders return to be blessed. Now go, you should be able to bring them back when my peer, his majesty and hero Logan, returns to Highrule." The king ordered.
"If it’s about getting your beast blessed, just have it meet Wyver before you leave. I can ask him to give the blessing from where I am," Logan said while accepting the king’s request.
"Yes, thank you, Logan!" Sergie ran out like a kid, making those that watched his actions smirk or laugh.
"Well then, I am sure you won’t just need wyverns but also mana crystals," Logan began negotiating what he could offer to those who would receive Wyver’s blessing.
"Seeing the effect it had on your new creature, I am guessing that they will need it to grow just as strong." The king sighed, knowing that his treasure would be emptied out by the end of the long talk.
"Precisely. Don’t worry, I don’t need immediate cash. We can extend it into plans for the future. How about a fifteen-year contract? I will be lenient with the price as well. There is no use in money when the stakes are this high. I will need all the power I can gather. My plan also extends to each nation. Eta, as you know, has powerful electric birds and such. I will keep looking for strong monsters to join me in the coming fight." Logan then began going over his future plans. The king was more than willing to provide the help the hero of taming would need, even going as far as to give him access to their teleportation arrays for trading.
"Then that concludes our talks. I would like to enjoy all that your capital has to offer before leaving, King Thalor. As for your personal wyvern, you can just do as Sergie did," Logan said as he was given the okay to go out and check the city of Meveza.
