Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"Summon the fairy queen? But it's still a few months…" Vivian abruptly stopped, noticing his wording. What kind of mistake did he make? It was quite easy to see it.

Vivian's expression turned grim. "Tonight is not a full moon…"

Nathan lowered his head. "Yes."

"It's not even a year from the time you gave me the hairpin."

"Yes…" Nathan closed his eyes while biting his lips.

Vivian let out a long sigh. It was clear that Nathan was lying. It seemed that, for one reason or another, Nathan had been lying about the fairy queen. If Vivian wanted to summon Charlotte, she could do it right away.

While it was true that she was disappointed by her disciple's lies, it wasn't like she didn't expect such a thing.

Nathan's personality and action showed that he could lie. Even though she didn't know which one was a lie and which one was the truth, she knew Nathan was lying.

Why would Nathan lie about the fairy queen? That was probably what everyone would think. But Vivian was different. She actually wondered the reason for Nathan to expose himself.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

For someone who disliked being at a disadvantage, Nathan would actually reveal this important matter.

Vivian nodded a few times, as if she was judging Nathan. However, the reality was that she understood Nathan a bit more.

Still, if one didn't know it was a lie, they might consider it a truth. And since that lie had been exposed, she had to punish him.

Anyway, the punishment could be done at a later date.

Vivian took a deep breath. "Please give me a reason first. Why do you want me to summon the fairy queen?"

Nathan nodded. He explained everything he knew about the supervolcano and his assumption. If everything was correct, they really didn't have a lot of time left. Our society would be collapsing. Those who remained might end up having to face numerous powerful aliens.

"Supervolcano, huh? If that's the case, having one of the greatest brains in history will give us a lot of advantage. Famine, drought, ash, and aliens… those are enough to completely cripple humanity. It won't be weird if we're being pushed back so hard that we won't be able to recover."

Vivian nodded in understanding. "Shouldn't we inform the others?"

"I'm not sure about it right now. After all, we need concrete evidence. If there is going to be massive panic, I can't imagine what will happen."

Vivian thought for a moment. "If that's the case, we should at least inform Sullivan and the Pope. The Holy Kingdom is producing most grains in this world because of their blessed land.

"If such a thing is going to happen, the Pope will definitely pay a lot of attention to it.

"Besides, summoning the fairy queen can wait until we get confirmation. The first thing we need to do is to secure food supply and possibly seed.

"My familiar can forcefully grow seeds, but I'm not sure what will happen if that soil is completely covered by volcanic ash.

"Still, this is bad. If society collapses, I'm afraid that people will be migrating. Yet, wherever they go, they will realize that it's hopeless.

"Once they're desperate, chaos will erupt… most likely rebellion and the like. If such a long famine continues without us fighting back, I'm afraid that the four kingdoms will be destroyed.

"When that happens, we might end up having to constantly be on the run from the aliens.

"In this scenario, securing the food supply will maintain the border for some time, which will allow us to develop something to counter the situation."

Nathan nodded in understanding. "In that case, are you going to tell them right away, Master?"

"Yes. But if we are going to research something like this, which is outside my expertise, I will have to wait for the fairy queen. And most likely, we will need some land to cultivate." Vivian pinched the bridge of her nose.

She indirectly implied that they might have to temporarily become a noble to gain some land to cultivate for their experiment.

They didn't have a lot of time, so her familiars would forcefully grow the seed before the sky was fully covered by the volcanic ash.

"I'm sorry."

Vivian looked at Nathan before sighing. "I have expected something like this, but you should know that there will always be consequences.

"Alright. I have decided on your punishment." Vivian smiled. "Your punishment is that you are not allowed to lie to me anymore. If I find you lying to me one more time, I will sever our master and disciple relationship.

"Of course, if you think you can't tell me the truth, just be honest and tell me that you can't say it. There's no need to lie. Just tell me you can't, and I will understand that."

Nathan could only look down, unable to face her.

"Alright. That's enough for now. We have a lot of things to do.

"I will use the teleportation circle to meet the Pope."

"I think it's better to send Sera to the Pope. She should be able to meet the Pope much easier than any of us."

"Fair enough. Can you tell her to do it?"

"Yes." Nathan nodded.

"Also, don't forget to add that this might be the realization of that prophecy. The one that is said to destroy the world."

"I know." Nathan thought for a moment. "If it's not too much for you, I think it's better for you to go as far as you can to the west."

"Fair enough. The sound comes from the west, so if it's really an eruption, it's going to be visible in the west first." Vivian nodded. "In that case, you need to go to Sullivan."

"Yes." Nathan agreed.

"Also, tell Selena to prepare a summoning circle. As soon as I confirm the ash cloud, I will immediately summon the fairy queen. The eruption itself will spread the ash cloud at high speed, but after a certain distance, the speed of that expansion will slow down significantly. If there's nothing in the east, it means the volcano is beyond the sea, which will give us some time to prepare."

"Yes." Nathan nodded.

"Good. Let's go."
