Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts-Chapter 803: Nathan’s Request
Even though they said it was a small archive room, the room contained a lot of books. In fact, he wondered since when they kept a record.
"Hmm…" Nathan raised his eyebrows. "There's no one here?"
Sylvia nodded. "Yes. There aren't a lot of people coming here. Most of the time, it will be the one managing the record, but he's not here today."
"Do you know anything about this room?" Nathan asked.
"A bit. I often visited this place to grab a book for the commander and vice commander."
"What kind of record does this room have? What's the oldest record here?" Nathan asked.
Sylvia thought for a moment. "I'm not sure about the first question. However, the commander and the vice commander often asked me to bring a record regarding the ruins and the aliens' activity.
"Regarding the second question, I believe the oldest record is traced back to the first time this place was created. If you look at that side, there are still empty shelves, as we're supposed to store the new records there and fill them up."
"I see. That's good enough." Nathan nodded.
"What are we going to do here, Nathan?" Sera asked.
"I will need to read the record about the terrains, the behavior of the aliens, and the type of aliens around this base."
Sera tilted her head in confusion. "I understand about the terrains, but the behavior of the aliens?"
"Yes. I need to know how they react to a threat or sound or how they are going to approach us in case they find us. Something like that. If we know about this information, we can find out what we should do when advancing in the alien territory.
"Besides, even though animals might be spotted in the alien territory, there is a high chance that they have been hunted down by the soldiers. After all, this place is not the furthest defense line prior to the world disaster.
"Hence, we also need to prepare our food for the next five days. Depending on the alien's reaction, I can also consider flying with Nidhogg or Kun. We might even be able to bait them.
"Granted that this record might be different from the current world's situation, it will still give us some ideas," explained Nathan.
"In that case, what about the type of aliens?"
"Humanoid aliens, beast-like aliens, or even plant-like aliens have a different way of hunting us. Beast-like aliens have higher speed, while humanoid aliens have higher strength. The plant-like aliens are more troublesome. There are also flying aliens.
"If we know about their proportion, we can expect and make a plan to intercept them.
"So, knowing this information will smoothen our progress," explained Nathan. "I don't wish to use our ena unnecessarily during the trip. We will be going all out when attacking the targets and cleaning them up as quickly as possible to avoid other variables."
"In that case, we need records about ruins as well, right?" Selena asked.
"That's true, but I'm planning to loop around them. Those aliens might have turned those ruins into their nests. Nevertheless, they're not our target.
"Of course, if the aliens have the tendency to forcefully come out of their nest to attack us, it also means we have to clean up the ruins first, but before needing that information, we need to know their behavior first."
Selena nodded in understanding. "In that case, I will be searching for their behavior."
"Thank you. If possible, check all the records up to the oldest record. You can focus on the earliest to the oldest. It's fine if you don't have enough time to reach the oldest record."
"Why go to the oldest?" Selena tilted her head in confusion.
"If we look into their change of behavior, we can understand the aliens a bit more. While my familiars have some familiarity with the aliens, the black cells are the ones controlling them.
"The black cell should be more simple than the aliens. Hence, if we can see the pattern of their movement, we can predict what will happen next."
Selena nodded. She summoned Risa, Sasha, Yin Zhen, and Amphitrite. "My familiars can help me to search for the records. I will take care of the behavior."
"I will do the same." Sera raised her hand while summoning Lavi, Dane, Brunhild, Asmodeus, and Raphael.
"In that case, I will find any records about the type of the aliens. They are quite complex but not really a lot, so I should manage by myself. Besides, it's better to let these two take care of the simplest topic." Flora grinned, glancing at Alavenya and Noelle.
"She was saying you're stupid." Noelle glanced at Alavenya.
"Nathan has stopped provoking me, and now you're going to be the next one?" Alavenya gritted her teeth. Nathan's training had been effective, as she didn't blow up anymore. "I know I dislike studying, but since this is for safety, I will try my best. Don't drag me down."
Noelle remained silent.
"I will also look into the behavior of the aliens, but for now, I want to study the map." Nathan nodded. "Fenrir… definitely doesn't want to read. Anubis, can you help me?"

"Sure." Anubis nodded.
There was another reason Nathan laid his plan bare in front of Sylvia. He knew that Sylvia would be reporting everything to Sullivan and Layfon, so it was best for them to know they were going to prepare everything.
And as an excuse, Nathan asked, "There you have it. We might end up spending the entire night here, so if you don't mind, can you bring some snacks for everyone?"
"Understood." Sylvia nodded politely.
Nathan's expression turned solemn once Sylvia was gone. "Before everyone starts, there's something I'd like to tell you."
Everyone was confused. Only Flora and Selena could speculate what he was planning to say.
That was right. Nathan had to tell the girls about the condition of Selena's father and what would happen if they succeeded in this mission and found his whereabouts. In addition, he also had to warn them about the special aliens that could take over one's brain they recently encountered.
Because Sullivan didn't tell them about Count Ashton's condition, he didn't plan to tell him about the special aliens. Besides, even if he heard it, it would come from the report Duke Coline gave to the royal family, so it was only late for several days. Of course, if Nathan found other special aliens, he would relay that message immediately.
