My Summons Are Mythical Beasts-Chapter 148: Encounter

Lucas took a look outside and realized that it was Shelsea and Sylvia, accompanied by some city guards.

Kane then explained the likely scenario why they were here.

Lucas nodded his head in understanding before he went out along with Kane to receive the guests.

Upon seeing that he was fine, Shelsea and Sylvia heaved a sigh of relief.

Shelsea then dismissed the guards before Lucas invited the two of them inside the house as well.

Since he did not have lunch yet, he invited all of them to eat along with him.

Fortunately, Kane offered a beast meat stored inside his Gobbling Toad and they used it for the meal.

Sylvia offered to cook and none of them declined it since they already knew that it was her specialty.

While she was cooking, Lucas showed off his newly contracted Gobbling Toad, earning praises and confusion from Sylvia and Shelsea.

After explaining the change that occurred to it, Shelsea shared her knowledge regarding that matter.

Although it did not differ much from what Kane had shared earlier, what she shared was somewhat a little advanced and had more substance.

For example, she shared that her Blood-Seeking Mouse, after the change that occurred during the contracting process, had its blood-seeking capabilities enhanced.

According to her, the change most likely occurred because her Blood-Seeking Mouse bathed with the blood of her Bloodhound while in the process of getting contracted.

Although it did not evolve successfully after such a change, she confirmed that it has indeed enhanced its blood-seeking abilities. That could be considered as 'half-evolution' as well.

Unfortunately, she also said that not all who experienced the 'half-evolution' had their capabilities increased like her Blood-Seeking Mouse.

Lucas nodded his head in understanding.

He also wondered if his Gobbling Toad has some enhancement that he was not aware of yet.

He already tried the Extra Pocket skill and he knew that it had not been enhanced. The other skill, Quick Leap, he has not tried yet. He hopes that it has some enhancement.

Unfortunately, they could not try it inside the house as the place was very tight.

Like what Kane had suggested, Lucas did not unsummon Shadow right after he was done showing it off.

Taking advantage of the summoning time, he stored all the things that needed to be stored, before placing Shadow under his shirt.

Shadow seemed uncomfortable, as he moved under his shirt, and finally found a place that he could settle in comfortably.

That place was right under his nape. Shadow latched onto his skin with his toes, merely exposing his eyes and nose out of his shirt's collar. Due to his hair and skin color, Shadow was obscured from the public eyes, but he himself has a full view of it.

Lucas also felt strange at first, but he got used to it after a while.

He looked at his grimoire and calculated the amount of Spiritual Energy needed to summon and maintain the summon of Shadow.

With Shadow's current Iron Star 7 rank along with the Reduction Talent of Lucas' Iron Grade Grimoire , he only needs a total of 18 Spiritual Energy to summon and maintain the summoning of Shadow every thirty minutes.

With his current Spiritual Energy reserve, he did not think that he would be able to afford summoning Shadow and Spot at the same time. However, summoning him for at least two hours at a time should not be impossible. Unless during a battle, he did not think that he would summon Shadow for that long, though.

A few minutes later, Sylvia finally served them the meal that she was cooking.

After they ate a hearty meal, Kane and the others left his house.

After they left, Lucas tried feeding Shadow with the Mud-Root Fish that he received from Lucas.

Fortunately, Shadow did not seem like a picky eater. Just like any other Gobbling Toad, Shadow was also fond of eating Mud-Root Fish.

Shadow only ate two Mud-Root Fish before feeling satisfied.

Lucas tried feeding Spot with the fish, but he only glanced at it for a brief second before he ignored it completely.

Lucas did not force Spot and stored the remaining fish inside the Extra Pocket.

He then sat and meditated to recover some Spiritual Energy.

After he filled his Spiritual Energy to the maximum amount, he continued with reading the stack of papers once again.

He sat leisurely in the small courtyard of his small house. Shadow was on his nape, while Spot was sleeping soundly on his lap.

As if no major event had happened this morning, Lucas continued his days like usual.

Meanwhile, a week has passed since the incident in Western Swamp.

After almost a week of searching and still not finding the Gobbling Toad, most of the summoners decided to return and continue with their own respective daily lives.

Those who remained still harbored the hope of being the lucky person that obtains the 'fortuitous encounter'. They ignored everything and focused solely on searching for the evasive Gobbling Toad.

Unless news was announced that the Gobbling Toad was already found, none of them would give up on the search.

As for the man that almost obtained the Gobbling Toad at that time, he decided to give up in the end, attributing all of it to his bad luck.

Although he felt dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it.

At the very least, knowing that no one managed to find the Gobbling Toad and managed to hold the Gobbling Toad except for him made him a little proud.

As for the perpetrator, Lucas, on this day, he finally finished reading the stack of papers that contained the information regarding Spot and Tony's enhancement treasures.

A few days ago, Kane also delivered some materials for him to study regarding the Gobbling Toad.

There were not many of them so Lucas finished reading and absorbing the knowledge in one go.

Lucas encased the papers within a storage bag and stored them inside of Shadow's Extra Space.

He then read the contents of the notes he had taken during the study to refresh his knowledge a bit before storing it inside the Extra Pocket as well.

After that, Lucas did not waste anymore time and immediately headed toward the public night market in Sander Street.

He hailed a beast taxi and arrived at his destination a few minutes later.

It was already dark when he arrived at Sander Street.

At this moment, the previous empty street he saw before was not full of stalls filled with all kinds of items.

It resembled a bazaar, only these people were not a whole group, but instead individuals in Serene City that set up their stall to sell some items here in Sander Street.

The hustle and bustle of the market entered his ears.

The stall owners offered their items to the passing customers, offering discounts and explaining the items they sold to the customers.

Lucas already knew which stall he could buy the items he needed, but he did not rush toward that area and instead decided to stroll around first, hoping that he would find some useful items.

The first stall displayed a variety of items. Most were mundane and Unranked Grade, though. Lucas looked at it for a bit before proceeding to the next, not finding anything useful.

The second stall he visited sold some weapons and armors.

One look and Lucas could tell that it was crafted roughly, while some were even used already. After asking the price, he learned that they were extremely cheap. The seller was also an honest person. Unfortunately, Lucas did not find anything he could use from his shop either so proceeded to the next one.

After a while, Lucas finally found something interesting.

The stall was set up crudely.

The seller was an old man with white beard. He kept on stroking his beard as he observed Lucas intently.

Feeling his stare, Lucas felt strange, as if an expert was scrutinizing his overall being.

"Young man, are you not from here?"

Lucas' heart skipped a beat upon hearing that casual remark.

He looked at the old man and asked respectfully, "What do you mean by that senior?"

Inside, Lucas was already jumping up and down in excitement.

Was this it? Was this his fortuitous encounter?

Lucas glanced at the items displayed below, all of them looked ordinary and crude.

One item even looked like a normal rock.

However, the more it was like this, the more he believed that the old man was indeed an expert.

He looked around, none seemed to pay attention to this old man except for him.

The old man chuckled upon hearing his inquiry.

"What I meant is not important. Since you are here, it means that you are fated to encounter me."

The old man moved his eyes from Lucas and looked at the ordinary items below him.

"What do you think? Which one do you fancy?"

Looking at the array of ordinary items below, Lucas could not help but gulp a mouthful of saliva in nervousness.

All the items below looked ordinary.

It was very hard to choose.

The old man looked at him with a smile, showing no signs of intervening with his decision.

Lucas felt the pressure growing inside him.

This was once in a lifetime opportunity, and he knew that fortuitous encounters could not be easily encountered or obtained.

After struggling for a bit, Lucas gritted his teeth and finally pointed at the ordinary rock at the side.

Of all the items available here, only this rock looked extremely ordinary.

The most ordinary, amongst all the ordinary, can also be considered as something special if one looks at it from a different angle.

The old man smiled widely, waiting for Lucas to say that he wanted that rock.

However, before Lucas could say anything, a bark suddenly resounded beside his ears.

Spot had used Soft Bark!
