After soothing and explaining for about ten minutes, both Silena and Lucia accepted the fact that I am a mage.
After having grilled meat for breakfast, I forcefully pushed them onto the backs of the wolves.
Now, we are slowly moving in one direction while riding on the wolves.
Since I am not familiar with the way, the three of them ride their wolves at the front of the group, with me in the middle, and the Armor Warrior, who is also riding a wolf, behind me.
The warrior is quite skilled in riding, truly a natural wolf knight, impeccable.
By the way, the large bag of gold coins and the magic core of the martial bear have been given to the warrior to carry.
Silena is now lying on the back of the wolf, tightly grasping its mane, with her entire head buried in it.
Probably because she was almost bitten off by the wolf, she has developed a psychological shadow. I moved to her side while riding the wolf, intending to console her... However, I discovered that she had a happy expression on her face, like a girl hugging a cat.
"Silena, are you alright?"
"No problem desu~ This feeling is so amazing, please let me enjoy it a bit more…"
I was foolish to worry about you.
"Lucia and Milia, are you both comfortable as well?"
"Yes, it's more comfortable than riding a horse…"
"We feel like the chieftains of the legendary beast clan now."
Milia took off the longbow on her back and struck a pose of drawing the bow.
"It's from the 'Beast Song,' I have also read it... It really feels like that now."
"What is it about?"
"Lan, haven't you read it? The book is quite famous. It tells the story of a human boy who possesses the mark of the beast clan. While in a human city, he suffers various abuses and eventually leads the rise of the beast clan. The boy's mount is also a wolf."
"It's a book?"
"No, it's actually true. It happened about three hundred years ago. At that time, there was a great war between the United Nations and the beast clan. It ended with the overwhelming victory of the beast clan. Under the coordination of the Holy Nation, the boy signed a neutrality treaty with various countries and established the current Beast Empire 'Alsace'—his cry of 'for the tribe' and his charging prowess were magnificent."
As Milia excitedly spoke, she skillfully showed off with the pure white wolf she was riding.
She seems to really like this story.
"You're showing off quite impressively, but who was it that was initially afraid to ride the wolf?"
"Hmph~"
Lucia looked at Milia skeptically.
"Stare..."
Silena was lying on the wolf's back, staring fixedly at Milia.
They were initially afraid to ride the wolves, so Milia had shown off her superior courage to them.
Now, her image has completely changed.
"Waa! We agreed not to bring it up."
Milia urged the wolf to come charging over.
"Hey! Stop, I'm still injured!"
Before being hit, I urged the wolf to run faster.
Seizing this opportunity, they also started to sprint.
-- A few minutes later.
We encountered a group of goblins...
"Lucia, on the left!"
"Leave it to me—'Water Blade!'"
Lucia raised her right hand, and a small magic circle appeared in front of her palm. A slender stream of water shot out from the magic circle, cutting two goblins in half.
There seems to be a lot of goblin-like creatures in this area.
"How cunning desu! Yasu had a bow, Lu-nee had magic, and I don't care—Lolo, let's go too!!"
The wolf howled as if in response, charging into the goblin mass with her.
Have they already named the wolves!?
It would be troublesome to recall them, they seem to have developed a deep bond...
With the cooperation of the wolves, the goblins are no match at all. Silena charges into the goblin group, covering her with arrows while Lucia uses magic to counterattack the charging goblins.
Their teamwork is excellent, and I, on the other hand, leisurely play with my phone.
With them active at the front, it's impossible for any goblins to come rushing towards me. I even feel safe enough to sleep on the back of the wolf.
Of course, I'm not just idling.
During this time, I have fully grasped all the functions within the summoning app.Page one is personal status.
Page two is summoning familiars.
Page three is summoning weapons.
Now let's talk about weapon summoning.
There is no need to unlock it, as it automatically becomes available when you reach a certain level.
Every ten levels, starting from level 10, a new stage is unlocked, with the highest stage being level 100. Of course, summoning requires MP.
Below level 100, there are "Mythical Weapons," "Special Armaments," and "Completion Rewards."
In order, I clicked on "Mythical Weapons:" "Xuan Yuan Sword" - "Tian Nai Sword" - "Gang Ken Er" - "Thunder Strike Five Stars" - "Thunder" - "Lei Wo Ding" ...and so on, a list of weapons I have seen or haven't seen before.
I randomly clicked on one, and a system window popped up: "Unlock requirement for 'Sea God Halberd' PP: 1,920,000 points."
It's a bit high of a requirement, but not impossible to achieve.
Overall, it seems worth looking forward to.
I searched for famous weapons like Excalibur or Durandal... Unfortunately, they are not in there.
Then, I clicked on "Special Armaments:" "Prison Flame Armament" - "Dark Armament" - "Ten Thousand Sword Armament" - "Moon Shooting Armament" - "Core Armament"... and so on, a list appeared.
They seemed quite powerful.
I clicked on "Prison Flame Armament," and a window popped up displaying "Prison Flame Bursting Hammer" - "Prison Flame Burning Shield" - "Blaze Helmet" - "Blaze Armor" - "Blaze Hand" - "Blaze Foot." Then I checked the unlock requirements... I was shocked!
The entire set requires 1.1 billion PP points.
I couldn't help but wonder... Will I be able to obtain them in my lifetime?
Putting aside such distant thoughts, I entered the level 30 weapons library. Various weapons in different shapes were there, including bows, quivers, scythes, whips, and even Tang swords.
The summoning method is different too; they cannot be dragged into the skill bar.
I randomly clicked on a weapon, and a window popped up.
Yan Ling Dao
Summoning requires MP: 30
Summonable quantity: 1
Summonable style: "Click to switch"
"Confirm" / "Cancel"
I chose "Confirm."
The screen of my phone lit up, projecting a long knife in front of me.
"Huh~"
I couldn't help but sigh. This ability is beyond just a phone, isn't it?
Since I was holding the phone with my left hand and couldn't move my right hand, I canceled it directly, and the projection disappeared.
At this moment, their battle was nearing its end. Milia had depleted her arrows and joined the melee with her sword.
Lucia was encircling the outskirts, chasing after goblins trying to escape on her wolf mount and cutting them down.
Dozens of goblins were defenseless, unable to even escape, and were slaughtered by them.
The piled-up bodies were a tragedy, and the green blood stained the earth.
However, the three of them had refreshed expressions, as if they had done something good. They slowly approached me on their wolf mounts.
"It's really relieving..."
"Yes, it's the first time we could easily deal with the little goblin tribe like this."
"Lan, can I discuss something with you?"
"What is it?"
"Lolo is amazing... Can you give it to me?"
As expected!
Silena clung to the gray wolf and looked at me with longing eyes.
"Unfortunately, it's just a summoning creature. But I can choose not to recall it. If the time limit is up, it will disappear by itself..."
"That's enough! Thank you, desu!!"
"Lan, you spoil her too much."
Lucia said in a guardian-like tone.
"No, it's just to this extent. I also want to know how long the summoned creature can last."
After all, there was no display of remaining time or continuous deduction of MP. It would be interesting to test the duration.
After the battle just now, we slowed down our movement. The wolf mounts seemed completely unaffected, but Milia and the others still needed rest.
"By the way, Lucia, do you have any favorite weapons?"
"No, after all, I am a mage."
After hearing her answer, I summoned a level 30 scythe with my phone.
All three of them looked at me with curious eyes, but they weren't too surprised. They must have already gotten used to it."Can you use this?"
I drove my Zahlang closer to Lucielle, handing her the projection within reach.
Lucielle understood what I meant, reaching into the projection and took out the battle scythe, and at the same time, the light curtain disappeared.
"What's this? The first time I've seen this weapon... It's a bit heavy, but I can still use it."
She swung it with both hands, making it look effortless.
"That's good. We talked about you becoming a melee mage last night, so I'm giving you this weapon."
"Really!? But, this weapon looks very valuable..."
"I'll be troubled if you don't accept it."
"Okay, thank you very much. I'll use it well!"
After thanking me, Lucielle propped the battle scythe, which was as tall as herself, against her shoulder.
Wow... how domineering. I feel like I've made the right choice.
Black long hair, a light black dress, a huge black battle scythe, a combination of beauty, elegance, violence.
I was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it...
"Don't look at me with envy, you all have something too."
I rode on Zahlang and went towards Silena and Milia.
"Really!?"
"Well, I don't really want anything..."
"You can't not want anything. What weapons are you good at?"
"We can dual wield, desu~"
"Then, it'll be bows and longswords."
Hmm... starting with Silena, when it comes to dual wielding, I thought of spears.
But a level 30 spear looks ugly, so I chose a weapon from the long weapon series called "Dragon Sword Lance".
There was a dual wielding setting when choosing, which was perfect.
"Is this alright?"
It's a silver lance with a large portion of the blade like a double-edged sword, capable of stabbing and slashing.
"So cool!!"
Silena took out two guns from the projection, thanked me, and moved away from us, spinning them like an electric fan.
I was really worried her twin tails would get caught...
Even though she's dual wielding, the length is about one meter fifty, and Silena swung the twin guns at the same height as herself on the back of the wolf, making it look like she had two brushes!
This is called talent, a weapon that suits her job... It feels like she can fly if she puts it on her head.
Alright, next is Milia.
What I summoned for Milia was a modern version of an alloy composite bow, without a scope, with a dedicated quiver, and gloves.
"What's this bow? I've never seen such a shape before... What a smooth feeling! I can feel the stability just by holding it in my hand! It's amazing... amazing, thank you very much!"
Milia kept stroking the composite bow, seemingly deeply immersed in it.
"I'm glad you like it, and here's the knight sword."
I handed the projected sword to Milia.
—The preparations are complete.
"Alright! Everyone has new equipment, so of course, it's time to test their performance. Let's go hunting!"
"Ooh!!!"
They were all eager to try it out.
With our morale soaring, we started galloping on the Zahlang.
