The truth of the summoned creatures' original world was slowly revealed from the mouth of the controlled guy.
In a boundless world beyond common sense.
All kinds of unimaginable yet extremely reasonable special events happen anytime, anywhere.
And the places where these summoned creatures live…
Before becoming a summonable group, they originally lived in their own world, not much different from other normal worlds.
It was only due to special reasons that led to the completely different reality now.
In the long evolution of civilizations.
Not all civilization races in all worlds have enough resources to help them continue moving forward.
Sometimes, the resources the world itself possesses are basically depleted.
This will create extremely difficult scenes for the native creatures.
And this resource disparity in worlds subtly leads to them easily becoming summoning targets for casters from other worlds.
And these groups that become summoned creatures respond to the summons, which can actually be compared to a mercenary accepting a mission.
They accept the summons, then complete the objectives arranged by the summoner.
Thus when they return, they can carry the magic power paid by the other party to build their original world, or continue to enhance their strength.
This contract-based commute, like overseas work, becomes their way of resource production after the world's resources are depleted.
Afterwards, things become simpler.
Under such an operating mechanism, naturally, there are peace-loving groups that choose to maintain this contract method to obtain resources.
And those who are more aggressive and strong enough will naturally consider using this summoning magic to reverse invade the summoner's world, to once and for all eliminate their own resource scarcity.
The incident that happened many years ago in Double Creek City was actually the trigger for such a choice.
It was only due to the decisive action of Double Creek City's leaders back then.
So this process was directly interrupted, causing the direct invasion plan of the summoned creatures to change to continuing to strengthen secretly and find opportunities to contact other species with similar ideas to invade together.
And now, everything is different.
With the opening of the ruins of Double Creek City, the message was also sent back to the original world of the summoned creatures, they knew everything, and began to layout more quickly and lure more other species to join their invasion plan.
...
Listening to the other party explain the fundamental reason for invading the world.
Ronald's silent expression also already confirmed one hundred percent that this is a war without any room for negotiation.
Either these summoned creatures with scarce resources successfully invade this world, then claim everything for themselves; or humans completely destroy them, or completely cut off contact between the two worlds.
The hope for both sides to coexist peacefully is even slim to the point of being negligible.
Reality, this thing.
Turns out to be as cruel as ever…
After slightly calming his somewhat subtle mood, Ronald then began to ask questions again:
"From your explanation earlier, it seems you are not the first force to invade another world?"
"We are not the first world to make such a choice." The summoned creature immediately confirmed Ronald's guess and explained in detail, "In the past, only two results were available for civilizations that made this choice."
"Successfully occupy the summoner's world, then detach from the identity of a summoned group and continue to thrive; or completely be defeated by the summoner, lose the last way of resource production after cutting the contract, and finally face the fate of destruction."
Hearing this.
Ronald suddenly had an association.
So he stared at the summoned creature in front of him and directly posed his question:
"Do you know about the giant dust beast in this world?"
"..."
The summoned creature being asked looked bewildered.
It even couldn't comprehend the meaning of the giant dust beast in Ronald's words, so it couldn't give any answer under control.
Alright…
Indeed, I overthought it.
Ronald didn't feel awkward about his guess being wrong.
He turned his head and continued to ask about other aspects of information:
"Then another question, what is your current layout in the human world?"
"I am only responsible for the management of the Northern Icefield and the construction of a summoning passage here."
Upon just hearing this answer.
Ronald thought that the intelligence acquired today had come to an end.
But before his expression could drop, the leader-level figure on the side of the summoned creatures continued to provide valuable information:
"However, in the limited few times of information transmission, I learned that there is also a base operated by us at Waterfall City, as well as at the junction of the Eastern Yizi Forest and the frigid zone."
Ronald's eyes lit up, and he immediately pursued further:
"Do you know a more specific location?"
"I do not know."
"..."
"Alright, alright."
Ronald waved his hand again, this time with a smiling expression.
It's better to be content in this regard.
Although this summoned creature couldn't continue to provide more abundant information, Ronald was already quite satisfied with what was revealed in these few questions and answers.
After all…
It's a lot better than knowing nothing at all.
Ronald's most necessary questions had been asked by this point.
So he naturally turned his gaze to Audrey beside him and sincerely extended an invitation:
"I've finished asking my questions."
"Audrey, if you have any questions, you can also ask this guy, the duration of the magic potion still has plenty left."
While Ronald and the summoned creature conducted their Q&A.
Audrey had been listening to their conversation from the side, while also recovering her strength. By now, this inspector nun was generally unobstructed in movement, and the paleness on her face gradually faded away.
Upon hearing Ronald's invitation, Audrey smiled gently:
"Ronald, the questions I wanted to ask, you've already mostly covered."
"As a frontline inquiry personnel on the church's side, the information I need to obtain is almost identical to yours."
Expressing her stance first.
Audrey then elaborated on her needs:
"Of course, if you don't mind, I hope to take this guy as a captive with me."
"If I could bring it back to Waterfall City, or a branch of the church, I think this guy could still be of greater use."
"Of course, no problem." Ronald nodded generously.
Then he laid the summoned creature in front of Audrey and then stood up, gesturing with his fingers to the four human casters on the side:
"Actually, I still have some urgent matters to handle here in the Northern land."
"If possible, I'd like you to take care of this summoned creature and those four human casters lying over there."
"No problem, Audrey?"
The inspector nun smiled and agreed:
"Of course, no problem."
