The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1679 Looks Good On You

Sapphire settled in at her table, to the envious stares of the rest of the crowd, and then realized that there was another guest arriving fashionably late, with their aura completely suppressed.

She couldnʼt tell if they had a System, but they didnʼt feel like a common grade human. Only because they didnʼt feel like anything at all.

The guest walked directly up to Azov, who was giving them an amused smile, and then handed the Immortal a whole tray full of cupcakes.

”Iʼm told that these are your favourite.” Dana informed him, speaking softly, so her voice didnʼt carry.

Then, Tianʼs head popped out of her oversized coat, and Azov began to laugh. ”Welcome, my friend. Immortality looks good on you.

I take it that your husband wonʼt be joining us tonight?” Azov asked.

Dana smiled, and the entire room was washed with a dose of Fox Charm.

”Not tonight. The locals are keeping him excessively busy, but I managed to escape for the evening. He, however, got suckered into watching the hatchlings.”

Tian nodded eagerly. ”{I had sister Opal hide us so that we could get out and come explore. I havenʼt been here in forever.}”

”Thank you both for stifling your aura. It would be a bit of an issue with the other guests if you did not. Now, would you like to sit? Or will you be joining Miss Sapphire at her table?”

Dana looked to where Sapphire was seated, surrounded by other blue dragons. ”I think Iʼll stay here. Dakkarian, Dark Lady, itʼs a pleasure to see you again.” Dana greeted the other two Immortals already seated at the table.

”Welcome, Dana Mage. I do wish that we had more time to get to know each other while you were still living locally here in Zilaz.” The Dark Lady of Nerud replied, her flawless onyx Elven features cracking into a soft smile.

”And not just because she wants to spend more time with Lady Rae!” Dakkarian joked.

”She does have a way of making herself memorable, that is for certain.

But I see that weʼve managed to gather quite the crowd here today. Itʼs a bit of an oddity these days, everyone seems to forget their own birthdays. Even in our new hometown, they donʼt celebrate them except for the children.” Dana explained, as the Dark Lady carefully fished Tian out of her coat.

The little fox went willingly, and sighed as she found the perfect spot to pet between his ears.

Immortality had advantages, she knew all the tricks.

Sapphire did her best to hide her shock at seeing Dana here. She hadnʼt been informed that anyone from Karlʼs team was coming, and if she had known, then she could have just had Dana do the delivery, which would have surely been much more impressive from the viewpoint of the other guests.

However, Dana had planned this on purpose.

She wanted Sapphire to take up the role of Branch Leader, now that Karl wasnʼt really doing the duties anymore.

She was already tagged as the Vice Leader, which gave her most of the authority and powers of a Branch Leader. All that was left was to make sure that she knew the [Ancient Wisdom] skill, or that Karl made an item that could grant it to the Guild, so that the craftsmen in Drodh didnʼt lose it when the transfer was made.

”Have there been any more issues since the last major one?” Dana asked as a server brought over a drink. It was clear that the Mythic Rank mage was trying to determine who she was, but was failing to connect the name Dana on her system interface to the Darklight Hostʼs ”Dana Mage”.

”Nothing. Itʼs been remarkably quiet.

I believe itʼs because Legendary Matilda has upgraded the protections on this place, making it harder to reach and even more securely protected from unwanted guests.

However, sheʼs been indisposed, and I havenʼt had a chance to speak with her.” Dana nodded. ”I will ask Cara. I know that the two of them are in contact. If there are issues, we can likely help out with prevention. Soon, we will have a full team at the Immortal Rank.”

The group at the table looked shocked.

”So soon?” The Dark Lady asked.

”The ones that we rescued were at the peak of Mythic Rank, and only needed some comprehension and motivation to advance.

Now that weʼve provided it, theyʼre going to be growing quickly. Weʼve also managed to bond a majority of the Beast Rangers to Swamp Dragon hatchlings, who will be Immortal soon.

They need time to grow, but you know how fast that happens when bonded with a System user.”

Danaʼs explanation gave the group hope that they might not suffer too badly if there was another invasion. The rescued former slaves would fight harder than anyone to prevent such a fate from befalling others.

”Well, that is most excellent news. Now, what is with that gift?” Dakkarian asked.

Dana smiled, while Tian laughed. ”We had the kitchen at the Clan make them based on Lotusʼ newest recipe. They cause the mana pathways of the body to relax, giving you a surge of power, and a burst of rapid growth.”

Tian nodded. ”{They make you sleepy, though.}”

The Black Dragon Avatar chuckled softly. ”You had someone make the Immortal Rank version of a Green Priestessʼs special brownies in cupcake form?”

”{Theyʼre better with icing.}” Tian agreed.

”They really do work well to help with growth. Weʼve tried feeding them to a number of the Mythic residents of the Tiny World, and there is a good chance that they will all break through and reach tribulation within the next few days. If you have a particular successor in mind who has reached the bottleneck, these might help them.

Or you can test them yourselves. As a cupcake, they really are incredible. Weʼve also made them in an Immortal Worldʼs kitchen, so theyʼre infused with more powerful energy than what you find here.

Speaking of which, Karl will provide an item for you later to store Immortal Energy in a world that doesnʼt generate it. It helps with growth, but giving it as a gift would mean that we had to explain what it does to the public.”

Through the mental link, Karl realized he was being volunteered.

That was fine, he could make an Immortal Energy conversion and gathering array and stick it on a mana crystal in under an hour, then they could deliver it

in the morning.

Or, three of them. Because those other two would not forgive him for leaving

them out.
