"No! No! No!"— Izzy didn't stop and continued to protest to Nemo to make a contract with that little beast.
The way the beast was looking at Nemo and at her was already irritating her and scaring her a little.
And now, when Idan and Arabel asked Nemo about signing a contract with this little beast, Izzy immediately protested.
She didn't want to share Nemo with anyone else. He was hers, and no one can take him away from her.
Such a decisive refusal came as a complete surprise to Idan and Arabel. Even Nemo was startled to hear Izzy's abrupt refusal.
Idan could not even imagine that the most difficult part of this task would be to persuade the little spirit to share Nemo with the little beast.
"What should we do?" Idan asked Arabel.
"Let me talk to her alone," Arabel offered, and using a mental link, she began to communicate with Izzy, without the intervention of Nemo and Idan.
"Okay," Idan agreed, and then looked at Nemo, who was still not fully aware of what was happening.
"While they're talking, I'll explain to you what we meant," Idan said, deciding not to waste time, and quickly outlined the essence of their idea to Nemo while Arabel was busy with Izzy.
"So that's what you want," Nemo finally realized, after Idan's explanation.
"Well, I don't mind if Izzy agrees," he expressed his position on this issue.
"If she's totally against it and won't agree to anything, then I'm sorry, I won't sign a contract with this beast," Nemo immediately warned in case Izzy was totally against it. "I just don't want to do anything that might upset her."
"Understood. I hope Arabel can convince her." Idan was confident in Arabel's ability and did not allow the thought that she would not be able to cope with this task.
After the confession, Idan's faith in Arabel increased, although he did not realize it himself.
"How did you manage to find this manual? Being the one who signed the contract with Izzy, I was also interested in how other creatures could acquire a contract, but, you know, I've never seen anything as amazing as what you just told me." Nemo, of course, was impressed by the information about the "Path of Beast Tamer" manual.
Nemo was aware that what Idan was talking about could attract the attention of many in this world.
He'd be lying if he said he wasn't interested.
"Well, this manual is not from your world," Idan replied briefly, without going into details.
It was enough for Nemo to realize that this manual came from another world. And from that moment on, it became even more valuable in his eyes.
After a while, Arabel finally finished talking to Izzy, and a victorious smile appeared on her face.
"I was able to convince her," Arabel happily informed through a mental link.
At that moment, Izzy was talking to Nemo, and the couple couldn't hear what they were talking about.
"By the way, don't you think we should read this manual too?" asked Arabel. She was aware that the reward for completing the task would be the discovery of a new function of the System - "Beast Taming", and that perhaps this function would provide them with similar opportunities. And now that they already had a manual, why don't they use it?
"I've already thought about it," Idan said. — Let's wait first and see what possibilities the new function will provide. We'll have time to study the manuals in the future, and they're not that expensive. Besides, most likely, this new function, like the others, will be connected with another "Supreme System". And as we already know, these systems stand above the rest, and I am sure that what it will give us will be much better than this "manual".
Arabel agreed with Idan's reasoning.
"What do you think of Eulalia?" asked Idan after a moment's thought. "Should we manual with her?"
Since they have already shared this manual with Nemo, perhaps it is worth sharing with Eulalia? After all, she was the eldest among them, and they couldn't leave her out.
"I totally agree!" Arabel replied without hesitation. She immediately supported Idan's suggestion.
Before calling Eulalia, Idan asked the System,
"Tell me, System, will she be able to use this manual?"
[Yes, she may use,] the System replied briefly and without hesitation.
After Idan, Arabel asked a question.:
"Since you have already answered, System, please let us know how long it will take to study these manuals and conclude a contract?"
[Host. Studying the first manual using a soul crystal usually takes about one night to form your first Beast Soul. To form a second Beast Soul, you must first conclude the first contract and saturate your Beast Soul with energy.
An elf, unlike a guy who already has a contract, will need about a month after signing her first contract to achieve this. As for the guy, due to the fact that he already has a contract, he doesn't need to saturate his first Beast Soul after it is formed. The old contract would immediately bind to his first Beast Soul. He can immediately start forming the second one, and it will take about half a day.
As soon as Arabel received the necessary information and made sure that Eulalia could also read this manual, she immediately invited her to Nemo's tent.
The tent was spacious, and it could comfortably accommodate four people.
Soon, a surprised Eulalia came inside. She was still awake, waiting for Arabel to return. While waiting, she suddenly received a message from Arabel asking her to come to Nemo and Idan's tent.
With Eulalia's arrival and Izzy's agreement, Idan and Arabel once again told Eulalia and Nemo in detail about the "Path of Beast Tamer".
Idan had already briefly explained the essence of this path to Nemo, so he wasn't too surprised.
However, upon hearing this, Eulalia froze in amazement for a moment, unable to utter a word. For a moment, she even stopped breathing.
"You're not joking, are you?" she finally asked excitedly.
"Of course not," Arabel replied with a smile.
After the explanation, Idan bought the "Manual to the "Path of Beast Tamer" - Rank 1 and 2" for Nemo for a total of 180 System points.
Separately, for Eulalia, he bought the "Manual to the "Path of Beast Tamer" - Rank 1" for 60 System points.
Next, Idan bought them both a "Small Low-quality Soul Crystal" for 60 System points each. And finally, for Nemo, he additionally bought a "Small Medium-quality Soul Crystal" for 120 System points.
In total, he spent 360 System points for Nemo and 120 System points for Eulalia.
After all the acquisitions, they have a total of 5,128 System points left.
