Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts-Chapter 764: Mission
"Oh, my hand is healed!"
"The headache is gone."
The injured soldiers and sailors couldn't help but look at themselves in disbelief, never expecting they would be able to recover this fast. It was as if a miracle had just happened.
They couldn't believe themselves to the point they couldn't contain their tears. Some were so injured that they might have to amputate their limbs, so it was normal for people unable to contain themselves.
Although Lena had experienced it firsthand, seeing so many people recover at once was quite astonishing.
"Your ability… is too terrifying. If you lead an army and keep healing them, they will probably become an immortal army," said Lena while glancing at Nathan and Anubis.
Nathan shook her head while Anubis replied, "I can't revive the dead as normal humans can. Only if they're willing to be mummies. Then again, I haven't regained all my power yet."
"…" Lena was just trying to explain how impressive his healing ability was, but she never thought this wasn't everything.
"Duchess."
"Commander."
Some people suddenly entered the room.
"Oh. You guys have been healed as well. That's good." Lena smiled.
"We don't know what's going on, but we have recovered. And once we realize your presence is in this building, we can't help but come here…" One of them explained.
Lena pointed to Nathan while explaining, "That's perfect. This guy is the one healing every single injured person here. However, there's one more thing you need to keep in mind.
"While he's doing it for free, he also has a request. He wants to see if any of you are willing to go to the sea once again with him for whale hunting."
"Whale?" The people looked shocked.
"Yeah." Lena nodded. "He needs a whale for his summoning ritual. Hence, this is not an order from your supreme commander. This is a request of mine.
"I won't force any of you who want to sit out from this mission. Instead, if you are willing to do it, he will take care of the injury and join us during the expedition.
"All the cores and materials other than the whale we'll get during this mission will be distributed completely among the participants.
"There are also rewards for the top five performances," Lena explained.
The room, which was filled with tears earlier, suddenly fell silent, looking at Lena and Nathan.
Even the two summoners couldn't help but blink their eyes a few times.
"May we know who this person is?"
"How could you not know him after seeing that familiar of his?" Lena pointed at Anubis.
"Huh? It's a familiar, not a beast?" The summoner suddenly fell silent. He didn't see Anubis performing the ability directly, but now that he examined Anubis, he realized the amount of ena coming out of his body. "This… This person… is the rumored unique summoner, Nathan?"
Lena nodded. "Yeah. This is Nathan, the only summoner who can summon beasts. In addition, he is the inventor of the magic weapons and the cloud-repelling device, as well as the new classification of summoners. That Nathan.
"The reason for me helping him is that he has done so much for the kingdom, so I do it personally because of the kingdom, and I won't force any of you to follow me or him.
"However, if any of you are willing, tomorrow morning, come to my mansion. The mission this time will require a hundred people, which are 50 sailors and 50 knights or soldiers.

"5 sailors who perform the best during the mission will be rewarded a chance for training to become a knight along with money for the reward. According to him, the top 3 knights will be rewarded with a magic weapon, not limited to a sword and a spear. In other words, it will be a specialized magic weapon.
"Any summoners who are willing to participate will be rewarded by me personally. That's all. Spread the word to all my people. I will choose 100 people myself tomorrow."
The people were astounded. Unlike the normal soldiers, the sailors were like recruits who wanted to become knights. So, the chance of having a scholarship was a huge temptation for them.
Meanwhile, the knights, especially the elite knights, had heard about the magic weapons. Only a glimmer of people had magic weapons, but this time, they might get not only magic weapons but also a specialized magic weapon of their own choice.
In other words, they would be the leading elite knights of the generation. There was no way people wouldn't be tempted by that condition.
Nathan had prepared this kind of reward before coming here, so even if they refused, he still had a backup plan. But with the duchess helping him, he could arrange the mission easily. And it looked like a lot of people were eager to participate.
While the words were being spread, Nathan and Lena exited the building.
"Thank you for doing this, Duchess Lena. Even though I have come here for a request, there's not much I can do to repay your help." Nathan smiled wryly.
"Then promise me one thing." Lena raised one finger. So as to not make it suspicious, Lena hurriedly continued, "Can you make Flora happy for the rest of her life?
"I have always seen her like my own child. Unlike any of her brothers or sisters, her ambition doesn't come from the bottom of her heart. It comes out of her will to survive. If she doesn't have that ambition, she will die in one way or another.
"However, her sense of patriotism is strong. She doesn't want to compete but still wants to help the kingdom. That's why she has a lot of followers. That sincere wish of hers touches a lot of people.
"But you come into her life. I've heard about my brother planning to relinquish her right to the throne. You might think I'm angry, but I actually… feel relieved.
"She is such a kind child. I want her to be able to fulfill the life she dreams of. It will be better if she can share that dream with a man whom she loves from the bottom of her heart.
"That's why I will help you. And this is also a warning for you. Make her sad and I will be the first one coming for your throat."
Nathan could see her genuine emotion from her expression. He smiled. "Yes. I will do my best to make her happy."
"Good." She smirked. "In that case, should I reward you as well? Maybe an embarrassing story she has never told anyone?"
