I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Perhaps it's a bit abrupt to say this, but I still feel like we've been old friends for a long time."

Anno said to Philomena with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gloria and Elisana's expressions changed instantly.

They still thought that Philomena was a friend Anno knew before Anno lost his memory.

Anok has not yet regained his memories.

However, that's not what Anno meant.

Based on his previous discussion with the Tree of Life and his recollection of the eerie tunnel, Anno felt that he had been summoned by the God of Summoning through some means.

He only felt a sense of familiarity with Philomena, but he did not believe that Philomena knew him.

"Yeah?"

Philomena thought Anno was trying to bridge the gap and ease the awkwardness, so she went along with Anno's words and continued, "Perhaps we've met before."

In fact, if Philomena had met someone with Anno's strength, she would definitely remember him.

But she was certain that this was the first time she had met Anno.

"Really?"

Gloria walked up to Philomena, her face flushed with excitement, and asked, "Do you really know Anno? What country are you from? When did you meet Anno? Do you remember the details?"

Philomena's brows furrowed as Gloria approached and bombarded her with a series of questions.

"Sorry, I got a little excited!"

After Gloria realized what was happening, she turned to look at Anno, then explained to Philomena, "It's like this, Anno lost..."

Ding!

Anno stretched out his hand and lightly chopped Gloria on the head, interrupting her speech.

As the latter clutched her head in bewilderment, Anno said to Philomena with a serious expression, "I just heard you say that you are searching for the bodies and souls of your fallen comrades."

Anno pointed to the huge craters around them and said, "The battlefield here has been turned into this state. How do you plan to find our comrades' bodies?"

Philomena glanced back and forth between Gloria and Anno, who had been interrupted, but ultimately did not pursue the matter further.

Since Anno didn't intend to let her know, Philomena wouldn't insist on asking a powerful figure who killed high-level beings like dogs.

"Perhaps you don't know much about the Summoner class."

Philomena replied, "Summoners can see the souls of living beings after they die. When we summon, we first collect the souls to sacrifice a part of the body, and then we reshape the target's body into a summoned creature."

This information is not a secret among Summoners these days; you can find out by asking around in places where there are many Summoners.

"When we say we're seeing our comrades one last time, we're really looking at their souls one last time."

At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in Philomena's eyes as she looked at the corpses scattered all around her and said, "But after a living being dies, its soul stays for a certain period of time before dissipating. Among these countless souls of the dead, even finding the soul of our comrades is a very difficult task."

The souls of dead beings, the collection of souls sacrificed to form parts of the body, and summoned creatures.

Upon hearing these words, Anno looked at Philomena with a shocked expression and asked, "You mean, summoners can resurrect people as long as they obtain their souls and corpses?"

"Heh, if we could resurrect the dead, we wouldn't be so despised now."

Philomena glanced at Gloria, then explained to Anno, "You can think of a summon as a puppet that looks like the deceased in life, but only has combat abilities."

"No wonder!"

Anno nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, if summoners could revive their targets, they would be highly sought after wherever they went.

Instead of being seen as a "corpse thief" like this.

Philomena stared at Anno, somewhat curious about his identity.

As a human, and a super strong individual, Anno should be very familiar with the information about summoners.

But Anno doesn't seem to know that.

Anno looks very young.

Which human nation does this young powerhouse belong to?

Judging from his appearance, he seems quite different from the people of the Ten Great Empires.

A minority group in a certain place?

Or is it simply that I lack experience?

"Excuse me for asking."

Anno suddenly spoke, startling Philomena, who was staring at him.

"Ahem, what is it? Tell me."

Philomena coughed twice to cover her embarrassment.

"Since you are a summoner, you must be a follower of the summoning god Amidorn. Do you have a way to communicate with the summoning god?" Anno looked at Philomena with anticipation.
