Chapter 7 - Censored Ancient Summoner!
As he tried to store the Demon Ant Egg he was holding, Ban felt rejection from the life inside it.
Ban looked closely and noticed that it was throbbing like a heart. Cracks were already starting to form on the egg's surface and if he didn't know the real reason, Ban might think it was already dead.
As he felt the rejection, Ban didn't force it and instead asked the System, what he should do.
"System, this guy seems to be on the verge of hatching what should I do?"
[Read the Book of Techniques! ]
"Oh yeah there was still that Book of Techniques that I haven't seen yet." Ban acknowledged while scratching his head.
"Alright, System, give me that Book of Techniques now." Ban commanded as he readied his mental state because he might receive a super rare kind of Book of Techniques this time as well.
[Affirmative, Host!
[Book of Techniques] All About Them!(Ancient)
A book of techniques made by the Ancient Summoner, ****. An accumulation of her knowledge all about monsters and beasts.
The dos and don'ts of summoning.
Knowledge about all the monsters and beasts of various levels are stored in this book.
Techniques and methods on how to tame, increase their strength, cure their disease, weakness and the strengths of all the beasts and monsters of the Summoner World are stored in this book.
New variants of monsters and beast is also recorded automatically.
"My Diary, just who will obtain it after I die?" -****
]
"Jeez…" Ban couldn't hold back his surprise after reading the book's description.
According to the Adventurers, a Book of Technique was an accumulation of a family's knowledge about monsters and beasts. It was not something a single individual could do.
And for this book to be made by only one person alone…
Not to mention that it was a list of all the beasts and monsters of the whole Summoner World. If the description was not exaggerating, then this could be the most powerful Book of Techniques that might have ever existed.
"Gasp! Just how knowledgeable could that Ancient Summoner be?" Ban gasped in astonishment as a huge question mark hung above his head as he pondered over that question.
However, he immediately shook his head a while later as he ignored that shocking information for now.
He wanted to focus on the fact that the said Book of Techniques was now his to be read.
Although he also wasn't familiar with upper ranks, he was sure that as someone with the title Ancient Summoner, she should be one of the pinnacle of the Summoner World.
"Her name though, is it a taboo mentioning it? Why was it censored? I really hate censored things!" Ban could only whine in silence as he knew he could do nothing about it.
At the same time, Ban noticed a change on the System's interface. .
[Prepare to receive the Book of Techniques…
In 3… 2… 1…
]
Ban did as what the System had stated. Ban somehow felt that the row of text was in a good mood right now. But he still couldn't put his head on the reason why it has become cheerful.
As the countdown reached '1', Ban somehow saw a ray of light pierce his eyes before a huge ancient-looking book materialized in front of him.
It was a good thing that the System told him to get ready or he might've dropped the book before even holding it.
"Isn't this a little big and heavy for a book?" Ban groaned as he caught the book with one of his hands.
The book looks ancient and it is thicker and bigger than the usual books Ban had seen.
There was also a set of runic letters on the front page of the book. Although Ban was not sure, he guessed that the runic letters must be the name of the Book of Techniques, which was, All About Them!
"System, can't you inject the book's content into my mind immediately? Just like for the skills?"
[Impossible! Although this [Book of Techniques] was rewarded by the System, the massive amount of knowledge contained in it will make your head burst if injected into your mind.]
"What? Don't do it then-"
[However, I have a suggestion, Host.
We can slowly inject the knowledge contained inside it.
Just state a specific part of knowledge about beast and monsters, and I will inject it into your brain.
]
"Ooh! You can do it? Do it then..." Ban felt elated upon hearing that piece of news.
"Hmm so what I need right now is the knowledge about how to hatch this Demon Ant Egg, or even the knowledge on how to hasten its hatching time is also doable" Ban stated.
[Injecting knowledge in 3… 2… 1… ]
"I see. I see. So that's the method…" Ban keeps on nodding his head as he absorbs the knowledge injected by the System.
According to the knowledge he had just absorbed, in order to hatch the Demon Ant Egg, he needs a material called Red Ant Grass.
This reddish grass that looks like an erect red double edged sword can be found easily on any Demon Ant's lair.
The knowledge also explained how to harvest and where they are usually located.
The Red Ant Grass grows in a dark environment. They used the Demon Ant's waste and pee for their own nutrients.
According to the knowledge, if he used five and a half leaves of Red Ant Grass, he should be able to hasten the Demon Ant Egg hatch time by a large margin.
