My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

With over a thousand Gold Coins at his disposal, Lucas was not worried about spending a few of them to obtain such valuable information. Although Gold Coins were scarce, he could just go out of Serene City and hunt some Bronze Star beasts and sell them to earn some Gold Coins.

"If I purchased them directly, how much would it cost?"

Lucas prepared his start for the price reveal.

In Serene City, such information was very important. With them only being recorded in physical forms like papers or scrolls, their value would naturally soar if one wanted to buy them directly.

In Twilight City and in the civilization that he was familiar with, such basic information could be seen and read online for free. Only information that contained deep secrets or was pretty high-level would be needed to be bought.

Sighing in his heart, Lucas waited for Sandra to reveal the price.

Her eyes lighting up, Sandra did not dare to waste time and hurriedly calculated the amount that he would need to pay.

In their establishment, buying the physical copies of information was not common, as most would opt for just renting them instead.

"Including the worm-type beast's treasures, the total would be 500 Silver Coins or 5 Gold Coins, Sir Lucas."

Hearing that, Lucas hurriedly calculated and thought that in that amount, he would be able to rent the information for four days straight.

Even though the stack of papers was thick, Lucas did not think that he would exceed three days to read all of them.

After hesitating for a moment, Lucas ultimately agreed to the deal.

After all, it was not a guarantee that he would be able to memorize all the information contained within these papers in the short term. By buying them, he could refer to them anytime he could in case he forgot some of them.

Taking out a leather pouch, Lucas rummaged for a bit before accurately taking five glistening Gold Coins out.

This pouch was given to him by Shelsea after she helped sell most of the items he obtained. Before, the leather pouch was filled to the brim by Gold Coins, but now only a quarter of it was filled.

Its weight was also considerably lower, just a little over two kilograms. With Lucas' strength, such weight was not worth mentioning, and hence, the thick leather pouch that contained all his wealth was always carried by him, just hidden underneath his shirt.

Sandra took the Gold Coins and immediately handed Lucas the stack of papers. After she let him sign some papers to signify the sale, she asked if Lucas needed anything else.

"None for now. But if you guys have new information regarding dungeons, please contact me immediately."

Sandra nodded her head. As for how to contact him, there was no need to ask such a trivial question.

Lucas understood this as well, so he left under the gaze of Sandra and many others.

The next moment, another female employee of the Black Scroll Bar approached Sandra while clicking her tongue in wonder.

"What information did he rent this time?"

Due to his recent actions, Lucas had become somewhat famous in the employee circle of Black Scroll Bar.

After all, ever since he was introduced by Shelsea, he had been borrowing a lot of information encompassing not only the history of Serene City but also toward dungeons, powers, and situations in and out of the city.

The topic and information he had been renting seemed broad and yet at the same time chaotic, making the employee unable to comprehend what he would do next.

Sandra shook her head. "Not renting. He bought them. As for what kind of information, you know the rules."

The female employee smiled mischievously, "Who doesn't know the rules? Come on, I'm just curious."

Meanwhile, Lucas did not linger in the Black Scroll Bar any longer and decided to return to his house, eager to read the information he just bought.

Walking forward, Lucas suddenly halted his steps.

Spot also craned his neck, looking up at the two figures blocking his way.

The two figures clearly do not have good intentions.

One of them took out a knife, while the other took out a sword.

"Who are you?" Lucas asked with a frown.

The word bandits surfaced in his mind, but the two seemed to not be the same as the one they had fought killed outside of Serene City a week ago.

According to Shelsea, although bandits were free to enter Serene City, none of them would dare to make a move inside, afraid of the consequences.

And in truth, he truly did not expect that he would be targeted.

Looking around, Lucas realized that he was actually in a somewhat empty alley. Aside from the tree of them, there was no other person in sight. Just the perfect place for robbing someone.

"Hand over your belongings. Don't resist. We only need your wealth, not your life," one of them stated. He also started to walk forward, growing closer to Lucas.

Lucas shook his head. "No. And are you not afraid of the City Lord's guards? Daring to commit robbery in broad daylight and inside the Serene City at that."

He had already obtained information regarding this matter as well.

Aside from what he learned from Shelsea and the others, he also knew that the City Lord guards were formidable summoners. In Serene City, only they had the right to use their beasts to battle. Anyone who dared to do so otherwise will be persecuted.

He also learned that all of them were at Bronze Star 5 and above. In Serene City, such strength could already be considered a minor expert like Shelsea herself.

Hearing Lucas words, one of them scoffed, "Shut up! Who said we are not afraid? It's because we are afraid that you won't be harmed in the process. As long as we don't summon our beasts, would the guards even notice us taking action?"

"I don't have any belongings. You're targeting the wrong person," Lucas lied with a straight face.

One of them clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Stop playing dumb. We saw you purchase a lot of information in the Black Scroll Bar during the past few days. We also know that Shelsea had given you some funds."

Daring to rob inside Serene City, they naturally would not strike without proper investigation.

The reason they targeted him was also because they knew that they could take him.

After all, in their investigation, this person has some wealth but doesn't have real strength.

They also concluded that his wealth was only given by Shelsea and her group out of pity. After all, ever since they gave him that pouch, Shelsea and her group were never seen approaching this man again.

He only has a dog-type beast summon. One glance, and everyone was able to tell that this dog was not worth mentioning. With two of them, it was not a problem to subdue such a low-ranking beast.

They were also well versed in martial arts. This was not the first time they robbed someone inside Serene City as well.

They had never been caught up until now, speaking volumes to their means and confidence.

Meanwhile, Lucas frowned after hearing his comment.

Although he did not spend a lot, it seemed it still attracted the attention of others.

He wondered if it was due to him buying a house.

Shaking his head, Lucas ultimately thought this was all due to the fact that they had been misled by his strength.

Since arriving at Serene City, Lucas had never shown Spot's strength anymore, and he opted to study and learn all the information he obtained in the short term.

Perhaps because of this, these bandits thought that he was an easy prey and hence decided to act against him.

Realizing that, Lucas nodded his head.

Staying lowkey to avoid trouble was not necessarily a good choice. In a society like this where rules and law seemed to bend to the strong, not taking action was tantamount to being seen as weak.

In Twilight City with a lot of monitoring devices and rules strictly adhered to, there would still be some madman that would commit crime time after time, much less in Serene City that was not as strict and domineering in their approach.

However, if he could show his strength, would this madman still dare to attack him in the future?

A cruel glint appeared on his eyes.

Act now to avoid trouble later, or avoid trouble now and continue to get troubled later.

The answer was quite obvious.

"Hand them over!" One of them shouted after seeing that he had grown silent. His fingers gripped the sword that he was holding. If the other party has a terrifying beast, he would surely be afraid of going close.

With only a dog beast at the enemy's disposal, why would he be afraid?

Lucas did not speak and just stared at the two of them coldly.

He mentally ordered Spot to jump away and not to interfere in this battle.

His hands slowly reached into his pocket, grabbing something solid and sharp.

His eyes never left the two robbers, taking note of the distance between them.

Since the other party did not summon their beast, he would also not use his beast in return.

In terms of hand-to-hand combat and physical martial arts, Lucas was not the least bit afraid.

As long as the other party did not reach Gold Rank, he would dare to face them head-on.

The only thing he needed to worry about was their skills.

However, he also has his own skill to rely on.

This was where his confidence came from as well.

The moment the two bandits arrived five meters away from him, Lucas' figure suddenly disappeared.
