I woke up in a daze, opened my eyes and looked up, oh my god, there was such a big sunset hanging in the sky, it was already evening.

Tamoya touched her head, and it felt comfortable. She closed her eyes unconsciously, and then...well, in my impression, it seemed that Tamoya and I were leaning against each other, and both of them fell asleep.

Where is Tamoya? I looked around in shock until I saw that familiar figure standing on the hillside not far away, holding a pair of small hands behind his back, standing upright, quietly watching the sunset.

, I breathed a sigh of relief.

【Still worried?】

I came to her in a hurry. I thought about it and held up a sign.

Retracting the twilight from the setting sun, Emperor Wu's pair of dark blue pupils seemed to be dyed with the color of the setting sun. He looked at me with a hint of warmth and a smile on his lips.

"Why, are you worried that I'll leave before it's too late?"

【Where are the words】

I scratched my head and thought to myself, I really don't have to worry about this. You will come back just as soon as I'm summoned.

"Don't worry. Since I promised you, as a repayment of gratitude and as compensation, I will summon the grizzly bear instead of you to become your pet and companion. I, Tamoya, will never break my promise." Master Wu Emperor asserted majestically, and paused.

After a pause, his eyes fell into the distance again.

"It's just that I'm a little confused now. I have a question to ask you. I hope you can tell the truth."

[But it doesn’t matter]

After staring at me closely for a while, with that touching pink lip quivering, Tamoya finally said: "I want to know, what is the position of my [Summoning Pet] in your mind, what is it to you?

.What kind of existence is it? Is it useful?"

【Do you really want me to tell the truth?】

Tamoya and I looked at each other for a while, then raised the wooden sign to confirm again.

"Well, let's talk. I'm mentally prepared." Taking a deep breath, Tamoya put on a serious posture. This move made me feel the frankness and cuteness of Emperor Wu, and I couldn't help but smile.

you.

[Okay, then I’ll tell the truth]

I thought this form was inconvenient. To be clear, it might waste a lot of hard-earned wooden cards. I was about to cancel the transformation, but unexpectedly, Tamoya seemed to see my thoughts and immediately reached out to stop me.

"Wait a minute, although I know this request is very presumptuous, but can you explain it in this way?"

[Why] I looked at Tamoya in confusion, using that form to explain, is there any difference?

"Well...because you look...especially kind...maybe...maybe I will feel better if you say something to shock me later..." Master Wu Emperor hesitated and said with embarrassment.

Of course, Lord Wu Emperor with this appearance also made me very cute. At that time, my brain was hot and I nodded in agreement. When I turned around, I started to mourn for Mr. Mupai.

It seems that tomorrow I will hide in the woods again and silently make wooden signs for the whole day.

[Actually, I didn’t lie to you at the beginning. I did have strong expectations for the level 60 summoned grizzly bear...]

Thus, the huge sale of wooden signs jumping off buildings officially began.

The purpose of having expectations for summoning a grizzly bear is not to see how useful the grizzly bear can be in the future. I believe this. Tamoya also knows very well in her heart that my current strength is too powerful, so powerful that it doesn’t even look like

A level 60 adventurer.

The sixty-level summoning grizzly bear skill is different from the Amazon Valkyrie and the assassin's shadow skill. The strength of the latter two is based on the owner's own strength. However, summoning a grizzly bear completely breaks away from dependence on the owner.

It exists independently, and its strength is only affected by the skill level and the Druid's optimization of this skill.

Therefore, summoning a grizzly bear is more powerful than Assassin's Shadow and Amazon's Valkyrie in the early stage. However, in the later stage, if you don't put some thought into this skill and let your grizzly bear play a greater role, it will be overshadowed by Shadow.

Far from the Valkyrie, left far behind, and finally reduced to blood shield cannon fodder.

I have also said before that after continuous optimization, summoning druids can even merge with their own summoned creatures to gain more powerful power. This is a way to rationally use the summoned grizzly bear in the later stage.

But this premise is that the strength of the master and the grizzly bear will not be too different. For example, if the summoned grizzly bear is only in the realm of pseudo-domain like me, the strength of the world power realm will not be improved much.

It's not that the grizzly bear doesn't work hard, but that its owner is too buggy. Think about it, which adventurer can have the strength of the world's power realm when he learns to summon the grizzly bear? Under normal circumstances, he doesn't even have the state of mind.

Of course, Grizzly Bear is not impossible to cultivate, especially for me now, because of the halo-like skill mutation of the protagonist, it can be expected that if carefully honed, Grizzly Bear will definitely be able to complete mutation evolution, elite evolution, etc. in a short time

, he might even be able to catch up with Xiaoxue's strength in the end. After all, this is the ultimate skill at level 60. In terms of class, it will completely defeat the ghost wolf, even the new ghost wolf that merges the ghost wolf and the mad wolf.

However, I can't even train Xiaoxue and the others now, so how can I have time to train the new grizzly bears?

The fact is so cruel, so in my mind, if nothing else happens, the grizzly bear is destined to be a mount.

But the mount is also very important. It is a symbol of status. Have you not seen how many of the rich second generations who play online games in the original world spend a lot of money for a rare mount without any attribute bonus? Not to mention my big gray

The Bear is still a barely usable combat mount, a pseudo-late game that may become powerful in the future.

Of course, none of the above is important. The most important thing is my great dream of riding a bear on the continent.

"Also...that is to say, the grizzly bear is of little help to your battle. What you really have high hopes for is your dream of riding a bear around the mainland?"

Hundreds of planks were killed in the battle. Of course, when Tamoya finally learned all this, she showed a look of surprise, as if she was deeply shocked by my great dream.

"..."

In fact, Tamoya really wants to complain now. Isn't it a little bit against the grain to look like a bear and ride a bear around the mainland?

Some people don't know, but they are still complacent and arrogant, thinking that their dreams are awesome.

"Okay, I understand, it turns out that summoning a grizzly bear is the real meaning of existence for you." Tamoya covered her forehead. Although the answer is unbelievable, but combined with the strength of the druid in front of her, it is

And very convincing.

The grizzly bear he summoned can only serve this purpose.

"What about me? What do you think about me appearing as the summoned grizzly bear instead of you? Tell the truth." His dark blue eyes stared at me tightly, as if to say, now is the time to get to the point.

Dear Mr. Mupai of the Kingdom of Heaven, have a safe journey.

I had to hold up the wooden signs again with tears in my eyes to explain.

[What role do you think you want to be in?] I asked back. After saying so much in one breath, it’s time for you, Emperor Wu, to express your opinion.

"I want to be your fighting partner. In order to repay the great kindness of my Ursine clan, I want to help you and fight alongside you." Tamoya replied without hesitation.

【So do you think you can do this now? 】

"This is the reason why I'm troubled. I was confident and thought I could do the job. I'm not bragging. In the bear clan, I'm an unprecedented genius. There has never been any bear who can compete with me in training speed. As for

It’s not like I haven’t looked through the history of other races, and there are only a few who can reach my level, unless it was before the War of Original Sin, when strong men emerged in large numbers.

【You are too self-effacing】

I wiped my sweat a little, and broke through to the realm of the field despite my age. This achievement, although the bear spirit fusion accounts for a large part of the credit, because the bear spirit fusion is a kind of rapid improvement in the early stage, and improvement in the later stage.

The skills that are not bad at speed, in a certain terminology, are quick formation, strong push, control, ability to roam and lead the rhythm in the early and mid-term, and able to defeat buggy heroes in the late-stage.

But even so, we cannot deny Tamoya's own abilities. Apart from anything else, she can practice bear spirit fusion that even most bear people cannot practice, and she can fully learn it before she reaches adulthood. Only this

Just one thing is enough to show how amazing her talent is. She can definitely put Carlos and Seattle Kagan to shame, and is no less impressive than my king and Sister Sharna.

Such a genius can definitely boast greatly.

"Can I really help you now? To you, is my existence really needed? I can neither help you realize your dream of riding a bear around the continent, nor can I fight side by side with you. I feel

Now I am really no better than a grizzly bear. I am afraid that, let alone repaying my kindness, I will even cause you trouble." Tamoya looked at the sunset in confusion, showing a look of frustration and loss.

[Why are you insisting on comparing yourself to a grizzly bear?] I patted her shoulder, raised the wooden sign and asked.

"Why?" Tamoya looked at me doubtfully.

[No matter what you think or choose, my summoned grizzly bear is gone. This is a fact. So, aren’t you fighting desperately with something that does not exist now? Does this make any sense?

?]

"It seems... makes sense." Tamoya struggled for a moment and began to think about it seriously.

But I didn't want to give her time to think about it, so I took another dose of strong medicine.

[You want me to tell the truth, okay, then I will tell the truth. I have lost the ability to summon the grizzly bear. If I lose you again, then I really have nothing. So, I don’t want to lose you. This

That’s the meaning of you being needed, not whether you can help me, it’s just that I don’t want to lose, and I don’t want to have nothing in the end]

Using several wooden signs at once, I continued to tell Tamoya my true thoughts.

Rather than the question of whether she can use the future, I think more about not wanting to lose it. That's all. For example, after stuffing coins into a vending machine, I find that there is nothing I want in it.

What is on sale is all thick and thick peach-flavored juice. At this time, would you choose to walk away, or would you just grab a box and waste the coin even if you don't eat it?

I think ordinary people would choose the second option.

"This answer... is really shocking." Looking at the wooden signs thrown on the floor, Tamoya was stunned for a long time and smiled bitterly.

"Although I was shocked, I feel that what you said is indeed the truth."

[Sorry, I'm just a human being] I can only apologize deeply for this. I hope Tamoya was not hurt by my words.

"It doesn't matter. At least I'm still needed, right?" She smiled at me, and her expression seemed much more relaxed.

[So, what are your plans?] I asked cautiously.
