BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153: Nathan's Decision
\'Should I really accept this agreement? From the looks of it, even the fairy queen doesn\'t know why I\'m summoned to this world. Having someone who is trying to find that secret might be good. At least, it will give me more information to consider before moving forward.
\'And the fairy queen was once known as one of the top familiars in this world. This illusion is useful. At the same time, it\'s not like I can summon her even with the hairpin.
\'The people who can summon her… No, wait. I think I know the perfect summoner for her. Isn\'t my teacher known as the forest queen? The fairy queen should fit the theme as well.
\'Right now, my teacher is powerful, but not one of the strongest. Her achievement and strength are incomparable to the likes of the principal and the Dragon King. If that\'s the case, I should make her stronger.
\'This way, even the Dragon King will think twice before fighting my teacher. In addition, she is a researcher, which is aligned with the fairy queen\'s profession.
\'If the fairy queen can make my teacher stand toe-to-toe against those old monsters, she will definitely become a great ally.
\'Still, I have one problem. I don\'t think the fairy queen will risk losing this cooperation by revealing the information. But I don\'t think I can trust her yet.
\'Should I use the Soul Contract? A simple contract with a non-disclosure agreement in it. But the fairy queen in front of me is just a record of the fairy queen, not the actual one.
\'I don\'t know if my contract will work. If I still have the upgraded contract, it might work. But if I want to make a contract, it\'s better with the fairy queen herself.\'
The moment Nathan thought about this, he could see the path to regain his initiative. He said, "I don\'t know if I can really trust you with this matter. You are just a being projected by the memory of the fairy queen. If I summon the fairy queen, there\'s no guarantee that she will work like what you expect."
Charlotte smiled. "It is certainly as you said. However, there are three things you are wrong about. First of all, I might only be a memory, but once you summon the fairy queen, I\'ll be integrated back to her.
"In other words, the memory I have right now will be transferred to her, allowing her to know everything that I have accumulated in the last few centuries.
"The second mistake is that hairpin. The last instruction of the fairy queen is to entrust that hairpin to the person who is worthy to summon her.
"In other words, I have sworn myself not to come back to this world unless I have judged you to be a worthy person.
"The third reason is you don\'t think you are the one who will summon me, right? Looking at how you have summoned three beasts as your familiars, it\'s clear you won\'t be able to summon me."
Nathan couldn\'t deny the third part. However, he was slightly surprised by the second mistake. If that was truly the case, it meant the fairy queen had been planning for this research her entire life.
The fairy queen would be a double-edged sword. Her obsession with the truth might harm him, but if he utilized her well, she would be a great weapon.
Nathan fell into deep thought before saying, "I understand why you want to know the truth along with your preparation, but what\'s in it for me? I don\'t think you know a lot about me. At first, I thought you were able to see through me, but that didn\'t seem to be the case."
Charlotte smiled. "You are not wrong. It\'s true that I can\'t see through you, but at the same time, it doesn\'t mean I\'m completely oblivious to your circumstances. It seems you came to me for a reason."
Charlotte realized she was the one being tested this time. Nathan\'s existence alone was valuable, so she had to prove her own value if Nathan would consider her.
She couldn\'t really mention what happened earlier, considering she had blatantly admitted that it was purely give and take.
Even Fenrir, who was laughing at the beginning, suddenly fell silent the moment he learned about this question.
He looked down, wondering if everything he experienced was an illusion.
Fenrir tilted his head, asking in a low voice. "Hey, stupid… I mean, Nidhogg. Is what she said true?"
"Stupid…" Nidhogg fell silent. Both of them realized the severity of this question, so he chose to answer him seriously. "I don\'t know. All I know is that I\'m among those who are responsible for cleaning up. I can remember carrying a lot of warriors I\'ve killed."
"What about after that?"
"I am living…" Nidhogg fell silent, as if he were contemplating his own answer.
On the other hand, Fenrir asked, "Anubis. Do you think I have died? You are supposed to be a God of Death, right?"
"My current power is unable to give you the answer. If I can recover more of my power, I might be able to do that." Anubis shook his head. He was also contemplating his own life.
"It seems we have to get stronger to know more. Although I don\'t want to admit it, what that woman says is logical."
"That depends on what our summoner will choose. But I don\'t think this is even debatable." Anubis smiled.
"For this one time, I can\'t help but support his horniness, even though I hate to admit it."
All three divine beasts seemed to have reached the same conclusion. They really needed to know more about their myths.
Nathan fell into deep thought and finally said, "I want to know the secret of my body. Let\'s start with… Why did a vampire evolve after sucking my blood?"
