Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 92: Dragon King's Request

'So this man is the dragon king.' Nathan tried his best to calm down, even though the natural aura of this man kept attacking him like a beast staring at its prey. Nathan took a deep breath and politely bowed to him. "It's an honor to meet you, sir Dragon King. I am Nathan, the disciple of the Forest Queen Vivian."

Nathan took out the letter of recommendation and presented it to him. "This is the letter from the principal."

A small smile appeared on the Dragon King's face. Even though he could see his hands were trembling, Nathan managed to regain his composure quickly.

Selena surprisingly did the same, even though she took a few seconds more.

"Since you are here, does that mean you have agreed with my condition?"

"About that…" Nathan scratched the back of his head.

"What? I believe I have been generous enough." The Dragon King squinted his eyes, pressuring Nathan.

On the other hand, Nathan simply said, "I've heard that Solerei City is a city that your familiars get their right recognized like any other summoners. If I agree to your condition, specifically your third condition, I'm afraid that I'm treating my familiar like an object of trade."

The Dragon King squinted his eyes, but Nathan chose to confront him.

"So you are saying you want me to get your familiar's agreement?"

"Yes." Nathan nodded. "If I can't do that, I will take my leave and apologize for wasting your time."

"Does that even matter? I can force you to stay here forever." The Dragon King smirked.

Nathan gulped down. If the Dragon King wanted to kill him, he could kill him with a flick of his finger.

However, Nathan remained as calm as possible and said, "I don't think someone as wise as the Dragon King will do something like that."

"Hoh? Do you think I'm afraid of your teacher? Vivian is still a junior to me. I couldn't care less about her opinion."

"Not at all. I'm just thinking that you'll be in a lot of trouble if you kill me. First of all, I'm here because of the principal's permission. And if you're planning to eliminate me, it means that there will be a lot of people getting pissed because they won't likely find the reason for my unique summoning. And of course, you'll be held accountable."

"They won't offend me just because of a brat like you."

"Really?" Nathan smirked.

The Dragon King squinted his eyes. The pressure became even more overbearing, which made Nathan's face turn pale.

However, the pressure soon disappeared to the point where Nathan couldn't feel anything from him.

The Dragon King said, "Fine by me. I finally understand what kind of person you are through that conversation. In fact, you must have realized that I'm just testing you, right?"

"Ahahaha. I don't dare to claim I've seen through your test. If not, my body won't be shaking." Even though Nathan said it that way, his mind was screaming another thing, 'Hahaha. I have seen a lot of old men testing with this kind of pressure. Too easy.'

The Dragon King said, "In that case, I'll be getting your familiar's permission first, but you also have to help persuade your familiar. If he still doesn't agree, we can forget about it."

"Understood." Nathan nodded.

"You don't have the problem with the other two conditions?"

"It is only right for me to do something for the Dragon King in exchange for the blood and the scale. As for watching me summon my third familiar, I can only say that there is no one more reliable than having you.

"After all, both of us want the summoning to succeed." Nathan smiled.

"Who knows? I might not want you to succeed, especially a sly brat like you."

"Please don't joke around. You are probably the person who wants this summoning to succeed the most. Not only do you want to see the real dragon, but you are also wanting its blood. If that's the case, it means you want that blood either for yourself or someone you hold dearly."

"Oi." The Dragon King's expression turned cold.

"My apologies. I have crossed the line."

"Pfft!" The Dragon King suddenly burst into laughter, which startled Nathan and Selena. He said, "Hahaha. You think you have crossed the line? You are not though. In fact, the mission is related to that. I just want to see your face when you are in trouble."

"…" Nathan's eyebrows twitched. How could he be this petty?

The Dragon King turned serious and looked to the east. "On the eastern border, there is a small breach. I've gotten a report from my subordinates that they have patched the hole, but there are still a lot of aliens scattered in our territory.

"I want you to meet my daughter over there. I'm assuming that she is planning to take down a mature class alien."

"Do you want me to help her against the mature class alien? I don't think I'm that capable."

"I know. What I want you to do is actually show off. I have been thinking of putting her into an academy, but she has never gone to one. Due to her talent, there are many people trying to invite her to various academies, but she always wants to remain in the mercenary group.

"Although I'm impressed by her dedication, I want her to enjoy a normal life for her age. So if you go there, I just want you to help her, maybe showing off a bit, which will pique her interest in going to the academy."

Nathan thought for a moment. "I don't think I have that power."

"Maybe, maybe not. But you should understand what I'm trying to do, right? Just do it. Even if you fail, I'll still give you what I've promised. If you succeed, I'll throw some bonuses. What do you think?" The Dragon King asked.

Nathan contemplated before glancing at Selena. The latter tilted her head in confusion. Nathan raised two fingers, "As long as you don't mind the method, and the bonuses are for both of us. I have a high chance of making her go to the academy."
