I Have 100M Summoning Scrolls - Chapter 26
Chapter 26: A Little Bit
“Mikoto! It’s you?!” Carter’s memories were quite good. So, after a short moment of numbness, he immediately recognized this man in front of him. He was the companion of the man from the East that was boasting together with him two days ago.
At this time, Zhang Yun walked out from the door that the earth wall had formed. He was protected in the center by a group of Murlocs.
“Zhang Yun?!” Carter was even more surprised. He could not help but look at the Murlocs that were surrounding Zhang Yun, he was obviously filled with questions.
“Huh?” Zhang Yun was also shocked by his sudden yelling.
‘Shit?
‘Old friends?
‘What a coincidence?’
Zhang Yun was speechless. He was originally leveling up just fine. He thought he would not meet anyone if he headed into the epicenter of the magical beast horde. He did not expect to see a group of monsters attacking a warehouse, and it was obvious that there were still living people in there.
With the mentality of “I am a hoarder, not a villain,” Zhang Yun used a Union Burst skill to clear out the area and had the Earth Elemental open up a path to save those stuck inside the warehouse. He also tried to see how this world’s inhabitants would react to a summoner…
In the end, it was actually the obese man and his men?
Awkward.
Oh, so, very awkward.
He told them when he was on the ship that he was classless and just a normal person. But now, not only did he clear out a part of the magical beast horde, there was also a group of weird-looking fish people following him…
Before Zhang Yun could explain, the obese Robert suddenly rushed over and knelt before Zhang Yun, his hands clasped together and his eyes filled with faith.
“Oh, great Goddess of the Sea, Siren! Praise your kindness! Praise your benevolence! I knew that you would never forsake your faithful!”
Zhang Yun, “?”
Then, all the people that prayed together with the obese merchant also rushed over, copied what the obese merchant did, and praised the name of the sea goddess.
In the end, other than those with classes that fought from the beginning, all of them had knelt on one knee and praised the Sea Goddess that they originally did not believe in. Some of them even swore to change their faith and become faithful to the Goddess of the Sea, Siren.
What could they say? Everything that had happened just now was too coincidental. Robert had just prayed, and Zhang Yun together with Brother Mikoto had appeared before them like gods and saved them all…
“Wait! Boss, what are you doing? It is me, Zhang Yun! You just saved me two days earlier, remember?” Zhang Yun was dumbfounded, and quickly pulled up Robert who was half-kneeling when he thought that things were going wrong.
“I know! I know! Zhang Yun, you must be an agent of the Sea Goddess!” Robert said excitingly, “This is her test! Because I have obeyed her teachings and helped you, that is why she sent you to help us!”
Zhang Yun, “…”
He said with a headache, “Alright, boss. Whatever you say, but can you first stand up?”
“Alright, alright!” Robert nodded and stood up from the ground, but the zeal in his eyes remained.
Zhang Yun felt like he could not talk with the obese man, so he turned to Carter who looked the most normal, and asked, “Carter, what happened here? Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be on the ship?”
While Carter was considered normal, he was still slightly dumbfounded. But at least it was not to the point of the obese man.
He answered subconsciously, “Ah… Er… It was like this. All the staff from the ship disembarked to have supper, but we encountered the magical beast horde. We then brought everyone nearby and hid in this warehouse, and defended it until now…”
He paused, then came back to his senses and quickly asked, “Zhang Yun, what about you? Why are you here? And these things next to you… what is their situation?”
He then turned to Brother Mikoto, “And you, Mikoto. What happened to you?”
Zhang Yun gave them an awkward smile and felt that he could not really give a very good explanation.
Indeed, the ancients were being honest with him. A lie would need even more lies to cover the first one.
Troublesome.
Very Troublesome.
After giving it a thought, Zhang Yun told him a half-truth, “Er, in truth, we both have classes. He is a Samurai, and I am a Summoner…”
Carter’s eyes widened.
‘Samurai?
‘What kind of class is that?
‘Why can both of his hands be engulfed in flames and yet he wasn’t in pain?
‘As for summoners, they are not that rare. Everyone knows about that class.
‘But Zhang Yun, did he not say that he was a powerless man? The survivor of a shipwreck?
‘By just looking at how he managed to clean up the field of battle, regardless of whether it was Mikoto or his Eidolons, it was a bit much to say that he was powerless.’
Zhang Yun explained and said, “About that. I am sorry, Carter. In that situation, we did not know whether all of you were trustworthy. That was why we hid our powers a little bit. Please, do not blame us…”
Carter was immediately speechless. With the power to immediately clear the streets, you would call that “a little bit”? You meant “by a majority,” right?!
Zhang Yun coughed and said, “Cough, alright, Carter. Forget about the details. We are in an emergency and there are still plenty of magical beasts out there. We should discuss what we should do next!”
When he heard that, Carter immediately became stern and serious and said, “Say it, then.”
Zhang Yun was speechless.
‘No.
‘What can I say?
‘I do not even know your situation, what do you want me to say? Bring you guys to level up?
After giving it a thought, Zhang Yun asked them, “What are your plans now?”
Carter asked curiously, “Huh? Was that not obvious? It was of course to head into the city and get the protection of the garrison!”
After pausing for a bit, Carter realized what he meant, and he gave Zhang Yun a weird look, “You… Don’t tell me that you want to go deeper?”
Zhang Yun nodded.
‘About that, the reason that I fought my way in was because I wanted to see the appearance of the boss that had started this commotion…’
Carter quickly yelled out, “That is too dangerous!”
Zhang Yun then said, “I think it is still alright? I did not encounter any magical beasts that were too dangerous as I came here from the city. It was just that they are quite numerous, and it is quite troublesome fighting them.”
Carter, “…”
‘Bro, can you stop acting so cool so obviously? I am going to be speechless soon.’
Zhang Yun, “…”
‘Er, Carter. While I already know that the summoners in this world aren’t that rare, I don’t know the levels of my followers. So, I was using your reaction as a test. So please, do not blame me, it was my intention to play it cool…’
At this time, the system prompt appeared. It was a new quest.
[New!]
[New Quest Triggered!]
[Unexpected Quest – Rescue]
[Quest Summary: You have discovered a group of people stuck in a warehouse. They do not have the ability to break through the magical beasts on their own. Therefore, they beg you to help them, and find the garrison within the city that could fight against the magical beast horde.]
[Quest Objective: Escort these people to find the garrison.]
[Quest Reward: 1 Diamond for each person saved.]
Zhang Yun, “???”
‘Huh?
‘What is with this quest?
‘Forcing me to save people?
‘Wait, stop being so nervous. Let me count how many people there are and how many diamonds I can get by saving all of them.
‘Then, I should compare them with the diamonds I can get from completing the previous quests, choose the one which is more profitable and finish it first…
‘Wait!
“No! This group of people do not have the ability to revive. If I let them stay here or bring them to fight the boss, they might die in the hands of the enemies.
‘Hm…
‘Looks like I have to save them first…
‘But I still want to look at the rewards…
