"Alright. If you can make her go to the academy, I\'ll accept. But remember, you will get nothing if you fail."

"I\'ll do my best." Nathan nodded.

Selena had been observing their negotiation the whole time. There was no word to describe her shock.

\'Did he actually negotiate terms with the Dragon King? Did he not know what kind of person the Dragon King is?\' Selena squinted her eyes, realizing that Nathan had been talking like an equal. And surprisingly, the Dragon King wasn\'t displeased by the agreement.

"Wait here for a bit." The Dragon King walked back to the forest and returned five minutes later. He gave Nathan a small badge and said, "Go to Wals City next to the Blue River. Follow the river to the border and you will find the camp there.

"Meet her and tell her that this is my order. You are to join her to deal with the aliens. However, she is in charge of the plan. Follow whatever she asks, as long as it\'s not sending you to your death.

"She should be surrounded by several advisers of my group, so they will definitely regard my badge highly.

"I know her character the most, so if you want to know everything, go to a bald, middle-aged man named Mando. He will explain everything to you. Any questions?"

"No." Nathan shook his head.

"In that case, I wish you luck. I truly hope that you\'re able to convince her."

"I\'ll do my best."

The Dragon King nodded as both of them politely bowed before taking their leave. He went back to the forest once again as if he continued his training.

Meanwhile, Selena looked relieved that nothing happened.

Risa and Sasha also felt like their hearts wanted to burst while Fenrir asked, "It seems that you have gotten more than what you\'re planning for."

"Indeed." Nathan couldn\'t contain his grin.

"Are you planning to get a lot of cores as a bonus?" Selena asked.

"Eh? Why should I?" Nathan tilted his head in confusion.

"Oh, you already have enough Ena to summon the dragon?"

"Of course not."

Selena became even more confused. "If you don\'t have enough Ena, what are you going to do? You have to summon the dragon in front of him, you know."

Nathan casually said, "Well, I just have to ask him. I mean, we have just summoned our second familiar not too long ago, you surely don\'t think that we have enough Ena to summon the third one, right?

"And since he is planning to watch, we might as well ask him for some cores to supply enough Ena for the summoning.

"Of course, you can treat it as a bonus, but don\'t forget that he will have to get the agreement of the dragon.

"Since our familiar is aware of what is happening outside and what kind of person I\'m, he is surely going to extort, ahem… I mean, ask for compensation. Maybe more cores or something else.

"Either way, I\'m going to ask him to teach me a technique or something. Having the Dragon King to give you some advice or teach you a technique would definitely be worth more than mere cores, right?" With a huge grin on his face, he asked, "He won\'t be that stingy, right?"

Selena widened her eyes as if she couldn\'t believe that Nathan was actually scamming the Dragon King. He just didn\'t negotiate with him. He completely scammed him.

Fenrir\'s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Nathan while thinking, \'This guy… Why does he sound like my father?\'

Anubis said, "But won\'t that displease him if he finds out about it?"

"Nope. If he was that petty, he would have stopped me from negotiating with him. He should have realized that I\'m up to something, but he still agrees after not being able to figure out my intention.

"Besides, all I ask is just to learn something. It\'s not like I\'m asking his daughter\'s hand in marriage, so to be honest, it\'s not that much. He won\'t care about my request and will just treat it as an evaluation of me.

"If he knows I\'m like this, it\'ll be easier for me to handle all the problems that might suddenly occur. In fact, he might even come to cooperate with me again. I have to be independent, so I have no choice but to take some risks and make a connection here and there."

"So what are you planning to do to make his daughter go to the academy?"

"Well, there are several ways. I think it\'s better not to explain it because I need some sincere reaction or she might notice I\'m just baiting her. Well, I can probably give you a clue. Remember what the Dragon King said earlier regarding the arrangement?

"Yes. We\'ll be under her."

"No. I\'m talking about the second part."

"The man called Mando?"

"Indeed. I\'m planning to use him to create a situation for us. Since the Dragon King trusts him that much, it means that this guy is also in favor of sending her to the academy. If we can get his help, it\'ll be much easier to convince her."

Anubis nodded in understanding. Fenrir harrumphed as if he didn\'t want to be tricked.

Selena felt impressed by his thought. Despite being born as the son of a farmer, Nathan\'s unique way of thinking bloomed even further in this kind of place.

She wondered how a farmer could have the courage to negotiate with the Dragon King, let alone demand things from him. She really had a lot of things to learn from him.

Now that Fenrir and Anubis had been recalled, Risa and Sasha took off, returning to the teleportation circle.

They didn\'t bother to search for an inn since they would end up camping on the battlefield.

Little did they know, this mission wouldn\'t go as they expected.
