Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 259 - Proposal



When Ban thought that obtaining 5 five cups of Pure River Water was only an unattainable dream, Ciera, who was sitting beside Elder Yakob thought for a moment and finally said something, lifting Ban\'s dejected spirit almost instantly. 

"What?" 

Ban and Yakob said at the same time. 

Now that she has spoken, Ban observed her more seriously. 

According to the bits of knowledge he gained from the past few days, Ciera can be considered as a beauty as well. Although her beauty could not compare to Emilia and Marie, hers should be a level above that of Joana. 

She was wearing a yellow dress adorned with some green twirls on the corners. It was the first time Ban saw someone dress like this, especially in the wild. Well, not that he met a lot of people anyways.

He just finds it odd as normally, when one ventures to dangerous places, one should always wear comfortable clothes that would not hinder them during a battle or when escaping. Looking at her dress, Ban thought that it was far-cry from something comfortable. 

However, he did not point it out and does not have any intention to do so. It was her choice, he should not meddle on it.

Ciera closed her eyes the next moment as if she was recalling something from the past. 

A while later, she opened it and finally spoke after being silent for a long time. 

"It\'s like this… Before my father was implicated with that illness, he often mentioned that at the intersection of the Inner Area and the Core Area of Death Swamp, there was a long river that connects to the river not far away from the Falcon City…" Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ears as she spoke. 

Yakob nodded his head and said, "I saw this river with my own eyes and I could also guarantee that it really is connected to the river behind the Falcon City."

"My father often told me that in that area, on the riverbed, where one could find the source of the river, one could find the Pure River Water as well. And for a river that even reaches the Falcon City, my father is very confident that a Pure River Water can also be found there."

"It\'s just that no one has found the source of the river yet. He also said it was entirely based on luck that one could find the source of a river. And even if one does find the source of the river, and if a Pure River Water was truly present, he said that it would also be most likely protected by a powerful Beast." 

"So what I\'m trying to say is, in exchange for the body of the Demon Mushroom, we will help you search for the river source, and if we have the capability, help you obtain some Pure River Water as well."

"However, the story my father often told me might not be true so I want to propose a condition. In the event that a week has already passed and we still could not find the river source, you must still give the Demon Mushroom to us and in exchange, we will compensate you with anything within our means." 

Ciera spoke without pausing while Ban and Yakob listened attentively. 

After a while, Ban finally answered. 

"Actually, the reason why I\'m here was also to go to that river and try to find Pure River Water. According to the information I \'bought\', there was truly a high chance that Pure River Water was present on that river. However, I was not in a hurry as I also know that if there was truly a Pure River Water, it\'s most likely protected by a strong Beast of the D-Master Rank."

"And currently, I don\'t have the capability to face such a Beast so I was training along the way in the hopes that when I reached the intersection and that river, I might already have the ability to do so." Ban said. 

However, hearing what he said, Yakob felt that this fella was truly ignorant. 

If gaining strength was that easy, then D-Master Rank should be anywhere. 

He could tell that Ban wasn\'t a D-Master Rank yet, and for him to say that he wanted to gain strength along the way to defeat a D-Master Rank… Does this kid actually have a loose screw on his head?

Breaking through the D-Master Rank was not as easy as breaking through the first three ranks. Even geniuses will have trouble reaching D-Master Rank without years of effort. 

And when a Beast reaches the D-Master Rank, the level of their body will be boosted to a whole new level as well. It will become as hard as steel and no normal attacks that came from Quasi D-Master Rank and below could injure them. 

Heck, even if a Beast who doesn\'t have a strong defense reached the D-Master Rank, injuring it would also be a problem to think of. 

Even he, as a genuine D-Master Rank with his two Beasts, were not confident about facing a D-Master Rank even if it\'s only an X-Mortal Grade. If he still has some chance of defeating the Demon Mushroom before with one of his Beasts, then defeating a D-Master Rank Beasts, even with using all of his means will be problematic. 

For Ban to say that he would like to raise his strength along the way to fight a D-Master Rank Beast, if he doesn\'t have a screw loose, then what does? 

Kid, at least try reaching the Quasi D-Master Rank before speaking such nonsense, alright? 

However, despite realizing that, Yakob was not in the position to tell him anything. He got companions so it\'s probably to either let him figure out that gaining strength wasn\'t that easy, or let his group remind him of that fact.

In any case, they\'ve only met so he should not meddle about his ignorance as well. 

The proposal of his Young Miss was quite sound.. If they were really to fight a D-Master Rank, it should not be a problem with him around, and the other people on Ban\'s group who defeated the Demon Mushroom along with him.
