Chapter 1172: Fulfilling the Agreement

“It’s not an ogre king. It’s an ogre emperor!”

“What?!” The emperor widened his eyes in shock.

The seventh princess couldn’t believe it either. She checked the familiar’s status and realized it was indeed an ogre emperor. “This… I summoned… an ogre emperor…”

The emperor was dumbstruck. This magic circle… it was much more valuable than he originally thought.

Nathan remained silent the whole time. If Charlotte were here, she would probably repeat the words she said back then when Nathan asked about ancient techniques.

Humanity progressed forward, not backward. Charlotte rejected Nathan because she knew that the things they invented in the future would be much more efficient and powerful than the techniques she had.

The humans on their continent had been studying the summoning circles for hundreds of years. The efficiency had been improved, the strength had been increased, and even the convenience had been taken care of.

It was different from the summoning circle that this continent possessed. Because they focused on their crystals, which could be considered outside tools, they didn’t make a lot of progress in human resources.

As a result, there wasn’t anyone who managed to transform the summoning circle.

However, it all changed the moment Nathan gave that summoning circle.

For the people of this continent, who had gotten used to the outdated summoning circle, it wouldn’t be weird if the familiar they summoned was weaker than they originally intended.

However, for the people on the Gratzel continent, summoners were expected to have an accurate judgment, even if it meant summoning higher than what they were supposed to summon.

In fact, the princess had actually prepared two extraordinary items. For the people on the Gratzel continent, they only needed one, and the other could be traded or used for future summoning.

Since she used the new summoning circle with two items, it wouldn’t be weird for her to summon a higher-ranked ogre.

Nathan had expected this the whole time before he even agreed to the trade. However, the emperor didn’t think this would happen. It looked like they had received this in a bargain.

At the same time, he wondered if this was alright. He might have to offer more to maintain their relationship. Nathan might provide other things to him.

Nathan walked to the emperor and politely nodded to him. “Your Majesty. I have fulfilled my side of the agreement. With this, the agreement has been concluded. Do you have any complaints regarding my part?”

The emperor was still too shocked. Complaints? The empress would probably slap him if he had anything other than praise.

“I’m glad that you like it.” Nathan smiled at him since his reaction was enough.

“Ah, yes, yes…” The emperor had a hard time regaining his composure. It might not look like much, but if this summoning circle were spread all around the world, the impact would be massive. They might even be able to push back the aliens. That was how valuable the summoning circle was.

“All the details about the lifebound contract have been written. However, by having a lifebound contract, you won’t be able to use the fragment of summoning on familiars other than your lifebound familiar.

“Still, the biggest advantage of the lifebound familiar is that you will get stronger as a human, and the power of the fragment of summoning on your lifebound familiar is amplified.”

“I understand.” The emperor nodded. “This is much more amazing than I originally thought. I feel like this trade is unfair to you…”

“That is fine.” Nathan smiled. “In fact, I don’t need something like the Hero of Moonlight, you can retract that title. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to excuse myself since you asked for 3,000 devices. I have to complete it as quickly as possible.”

“Uh…” The emperor took out two letters. “I have written you a letter of introduction. The man I mentioned previously is Grand Duke Johnson. He has lost his territory and has become obsessed with finding out everything about the Death Society.

“He is currently living in the countryside. In the first letter, you will find out his exact location. If you still can’t figure it out, you can ask the marquis to lead you or provide you with directions.

“If the grand duke refuses to meet you, you may mention my name and give him this letter. He will definitely not reject you.”

“Thank you.” Nathan received two letters. “I will visit the grand duke once I finish all my work. I can’t do anything if the situation becomes worse after all.”

The emperor smiled wryly, but he couldn’t deny it. Nathan couldn’t get his revenge if the aliens pushed the humans back. So, he definitely wanted to stabilize the world’s situation first before striking them.

After all, if the aliens swallowed this continent because of him, Nathan would have to suffer the consequences as well.

The emperor nodded. “Are you going to teleport right now?”

“With your permission.” Nathan didn’t dare overstep his authority. After all, this was the imperial palace, not the city.

“You may use anything you want. But don’t forget about the marquis. He has been going back and forth a few times recently.”

“Ahaha. I will definitely remember him.” Nathan smiled.

Before Evelyn activated the teleportation, the seventh princess walked to them. “Sir Nathan.”

“Your Highness.” Nathan nodded.

“I’d like to express my gratitude for allowing me to summon an ogre emperor.”

“Please pay no mind. You are able to summon an ogre emperor because you have the ability to summon one.” Nathan waved his hand. It was true. The seventh princess was strong. She was probably a few years older than him, but her strength was similar to Nathan’s.

If she lived in Gratzel, she would probably be one of the geniuses, like the arrogant guy he met in the Liaystian Kingdom.

“Since I have finished my business here, I would like to excuse myself.”

The princess didn’t have any way to invite him or anything. After all, Nathan was her father’s guest, not hers. “I understand. Please be careful on your way back.”

Nathan smiled. Evelyn then activated the teleportation as they disappeared into thin air.
