Chapter 199: Javier Disappears and Victoria Returns
"Any other question? I don"t want to take much of Victoria"s time anymore."
Javier asked if we have other questions. He taught us about improving magic using the method that his first master and the founder of Tatrama used in the past. I think the others will gladly try those stuffs after I told them. Wait, I can just tell Sonia to tell them so they can improve faster rather than having them wait for me.
But for now, it"s time to ask Javier some questions.
"Tell me everything you know about summoning element." I asked.
"Summoning element. What do you want to know?"
"Which part of everything you don"t know?"
"If you give me the freedom to tell you whatever I want, I might not give you the crucial information since I have to summarize everything. Just tell me what you want to know."
I guess he"s right. If I asked him to tell me everything, he might end up telling me what I already know.
"Is having my summon kill enemies the only way for us summoners to improve our level? Or as Victoria says, gaining Experience?"
"Yes. That"s all I know. Even my first master, the strongest mage at the time, can"t do anything about it. People always say that I"m the only flaw that my first master had. If it was any other monster, he would have reached Master level in all of his elements." Javier said.
"By the way, what was your first master"s name?"
"His name was Mario. By the way, Victoria is saying something when I told her about my first master"s name. "That"s not Spanish name! That"s Italian name!" is what she said."
That mean other than common language and Spanish, they have Italian as well. I don"t know what to do with this information, so let"s forget it. Mario is common name in this world as well after all. And there"s no Italian here. Maybe.
"Back to the summoning element. What is Pear-y Fruit?" I asked again.
"That"s the only fruit that can makes summoner able to summon another monster. You might have already known about this, but I"ll tell you again. After eating Pear-y Fruit, each time summoner level up, they will be able to make contract with another monster. But it only works until you leveled up twice. That mean, since you have entered intermediate level, you can make contract with another monster. Then once again after you reached advanced level. But after that, you can only make contract with another monster if you ate another Pear-y fruit before you reach expert level. Pear-y Fruit is… A magical fruit that shaped like a pear."
"…I have a question. Is an orange called orange because it"s orange, or it"s called orange because the color is orange?" I asked.
"…language was invented a long time ago. Probably even before I was born. Anyway, I can only tell you what I know. Pear-y Fruit is rare in this world, but it"s quite common in Monsters World. It"s a staple fruit for most monsters. When you enter Monsters World, you should grab some for your maid and other summoner to consume. Or you can sell it for wealth. I"m sure many people would love to pay a lot of money for it." Javier suggested me to find some Pear-y Fruit and sell them.
"Good idea, but no thanks. Pear-y Fruit is well-known in the past, right? If we sold them publicly, then sooner or later this Evil G.o.d will notice that someone has the knowledge from the past. Our only advantage is that we have knowledge of the future and a bit of knowledge from the past. Other than that, nothing at all. If this Evil G.o.d noticed the Pear-y Fruit, no doubt that he will a.s.sign task to his cult to eliminate everything related to Pear-y Fruit. By the way, is the Evil G.o.d a summoner?"
"I don"t think so. During the fight with Rama, he didn"t summon any monsters. But I believe he still has the knowledge of it." Javier said.
"That mean he has no way of entering Monsters World at the moment. But he can still teach his worshippers who are summoners to do it." Albert thought out loud.
"I think it should be fine. The monsters in that world are generally stronger than monsters in this world. Even if they are the same species, monsters summoned from that world will be stronger. That"s why unless those summoners are powerful, I don"t think the Evil G.o.d will go with anyone to that world. He has to protect his summoners friend instead when he come to that world. I think that"s why he only attacked that world after he finished with this world." Javier explained.
"So, the difference between summoners and tamers are basically from where they gained their monsters?" I asked.
"That"s one of it. Tamer can tame as many monsters depend on how powerful the tamer is, while summoners needed Pear-y Fruit to be able to summon new monster. Summoned monsters are harder to raise, but when the monsters" level raised, or when the summoner"s level raised, the increase of strength is higher than when tamer"s monsters. The biggest difference is of course the fact that summoners can open a portal to Monsters World, or wherever his summoned monsters are." Javier said.
Doesn"t have powerful summoners meant that he won"t be able to enter Monsters World calmly. He has to go there while protecting his summoners friends. So, I guess he must be looking for summoners so he can brainwash them. Probably the easiest way is to find summoners with multiple elements whom has great potential to reach expert level, or even master level. I don"t think it"s the Archbishop. Although it seems like he trusted the Archbishop, the Archbishop doesn"t seem have summoning element from what I heard.
Another thing to consider is another world where Victoria and Javier"s first master, Mario come from. There"s a possibility that someone from the cult is also from that world.
Just from how Javier"s first master, Mario able to be the strongest mage in his time, and from everything that Victoria know, if the Evil G.o.d had someone like that, even if it was in the past and said person already dead, the knowledge this Evil G.o.d learned from person from another world will be dangerous. Maybe this Evil G.o.d is actually someone from that world. That would be bad.
The knowledge of that world is far too advanced than knowledge of this world. Maybe I should ask Victoria to teach me more about what everyone in that world learned. At least just the common knowledge should be better than nothing. She should know about the common knowledge, right? I hope she won"t teach us about the bad thing in that world. Like her hobby or her hobby.
Well, if she wants to enjoy her hobby, that"s fine as long as she doesn"t bother anyone. She has tried to spread that virus to other girls and even published novel which is quite well perceived. That is fine, but she can not use me as the model!
After that, Javier continued answering Albert"s question. I have done finished asking since all I"m curious about has been answered. Well, most of them. So, I let Albert get his turn. Sonia seems to have some question as well.
While they are having some Q&A session, I was there sitting while thinking on how to get even stronger. Just Sonia"s and Victoria"s advices alone doesn"t seem to be enough to learn more about my Aura ability. And the fact that I"m not really motivated must be the biggest issue. Well, can"t do anything about motivation. I"ll take care of that part slowly.
After Albert and Sonia finished asking questions, Javier turns at me.
"Roy, you are by far the least talented mage that have ever summoned me."
"I don"t need you to remind me that!"
"But with my- with Victoria"s new ability she gained from you leveling up into intermediate level, you should be able to get even stronger. Although you have muscles, you used your head better now than in your previous life. Your death must have so traumatizing for you." Javier said.
"Yeah, yeah. Just get to the point. You"re trying to tell me about Victoria"s new ability, right?"
"Yeah. Her new ability is… Cloning. She can make as many clones as she wants, but other than the main body, all the other clones doesn"t have any intellect. You can say that they are all Blobby."
"AWESOME! Wait! Does that mean crafting some light armor was useless?"
"No. You still need them so your Divine Vision can improve. You can"t use magic or have someone helped you next time you encounter All-Seeing Eye."
"Does that mean you know where to find them?" I grabbed Javier"s shoulder and shook him.
"Yes. In Monsters World at least. I have told Victoria where to find them once you entered, and also where you can find Pear-y Fruit. You can ask her once you have entered that world. Oh, I also told her several powerful monsters which might be good for you to make a contract with. You can also ask her that."
"Great! Thank you very much for everything! We"ll try our best to save the world!"
After giving us some more advices, Javier"s human form turned into a blob like a normal slime. Then it turned into a female human form. Victoria must have returned.
"Welcome back!"
"It"s nice to be back."
There are a lot more to do, but for now, we need to get some rest. Tomorrow, I"ll have some discussion with Albert on what to do.
Then Victoria said that she has something to discuss with Sonia, so she left me a clone of slime to turn into Blobbybed! This is awesome!
I asked what they are going to discuss, and Victoria said that it was something that I forgot to ask Javier. It"s not important to me, but it"s necessary to inform Sonia.
She will tell me about it if she thought I needed to know. I"ll just ask her tomorrow if everything is okay.
