The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 862: And some Druids

Karl was quite certain that Dora did not sleep at all that night. When he went to sleep, she was working on making bracelets. When he woke up, she was still working on making bracelets, but with a half dozen of them on the table in the hotel room.

”You know that you can wait until I go over some of the compound runes and common phrases with you, right? You donʼt need to keep working all night.” He joked.

”But how could I not? Theyʼre so pretty.” Dora complained, waving her hand at the stack of wooden rings with the glowing purple runes on them.

”Plus, it took me so long to figure out what wood was the best for mana transfer. Itʼs pretty obvious for metals, mana and lightning compatibility go hand in hand. But for wood? No wood conducts electricity well, but some of it conducts mana very well.”

Karl chuckled at her enthusiasm as he realized that her Green Dragon side was showing very clearly through her personality. Even if she looked like a small Orc with a lizard tail, she was very much half dragon.

They went to the restaurant for breakfast, which was served in a local style, with a Trollish cook.

”What you need?” The troll called as they sat down.

”I will need ten eggs, and all the bacon.” Karl called back, then briefly wondered why he had spoken in Trollish. Not had it translated, the words had come out in Trollish.

The cook gave him a thumbs up, while Dora stared at him strangely.

”You speak Trollish? I could hear the translation in my head.” She asked.

”Orcish too.” Karl agreed.

Dora laughed. ”Well, obviously. Everyone speaks Orcish.”

Karl poked her in the forehead. ”Weʼre going to the capital, Drodh City. They speak Demon as the common language in the city. So the system will do all the translation for you.”

Dora paused as the food came out, a whole plate of bacon and eggs, with a side of toast.

”Your breakfast, Sir.” The server explained, while giving the plates a strange look.

”Wonderful, thank you. That is exactly what I needed this morning.”

The server looked somewhere between horrified and fascinated by the plate, but Karl was more interested in the pair of Orcs that were waiting outside the window wearing Druid robes with their hoods up.

He had never seen an Orcish Druid. Shamans, yes. But these were very clearly Druids, according to their name plates.

Karl checked out after breakfast and led Dora out into the street to say goodbye to her mother, and to collect Misty, so the Dryad wasnʼt left on the wrong side of the country.

As soon as they stepped into the street, the two Orcs in druid robes moved to walk beside Karl.

”Come with me, we can talk by the healerʼs shop while Dora talks to her mom.”

Commander Rank Druids werenʼt really a threat when he had [Void Body] active passively.

Dora ran inside the healers, where Karl could hear Misty happily chatting with her friend while they waited for customers.

”Alright, I see that you were waiting for me, is there something that I can help you with?” Karl asked the two druids.

”I am Larry, and this is Darryl. We heard from a friend that your Guild might have a spot for Inscriptionists. There arenʼt many Inscription shops here on the west side of the country, but youʼre from Drodh, right? I heard that the Demons like all sorts of written knowledge.

Like Dora, we both specialize in nature magic, but we both have the Inscriptionist Skill, and weʼre ready to work.”

Karl considered that. Selling Skill Books to the Library, or stocking them in the Guild House for new members, wasnʼt a bad idea. But they also had Nature Magic. That would work well for the items that Loros and Wendy were producing.

Dora could do slightly higher quality materials, and metal, where the Druids only used Nature Magic, like Lotus.

”Alright. If you accompany me back to the Guild House, we can sign an employment contract. We can always use more skilled workers, if you donʼt mind living in a city full of Demons.”

The Orcs smiled. ”Thatʼs not a problem. There are Orcs in Drodh as well. Just not so many of them. Besides, weʼre not the Orkiest of Orcs.”

Larry had a point. They were both large for humans, but definitely undersized for full-grown Orcish males. Possibly because they picked a less violent class, or perhaps just because of a lack of accomplishments.

Either way, Karl was sure that they could get them whipped into shape soon enough. Sending the girls to the Dungeon had worked exceptionally well.

Dora and Misty came back out and found Karl still standing with the two Orcs.

”Did you need more time to finish business?” Dora asked politely.

Karl shook his head. ”No, weʼre hiring these two Druids as well. They can use Nature Magic to make wooden items, and they have Inscription skills, so they can make scrolls and Skill Books for the Guild. Dora, meet Larry and Darryl. Darryl, Larry, meet Dora.”

The three of them laughed quietly. ”Yeah, weʼve met. This might be a good-sized city, but oddballs tend to attract each other.”

Karl opened a portal near the wall of the healerʼs shop to the portal platform outside Drodh, and immediately a half dozen curious onlookers stuck their heads out of nearby shops.

Karl followed the others through, and let the Portal close behind them just in time for the Guard to notice he was part of the group.

”Oh, War Champion. Welcome home. Are these your people?”

Karl nodded. ”Yeah, I went on a recruiting mission. Three of these will be working with the Darklight Host soon.”

The Guard smiled. ”Understood, have a lovely day, and enjoy your stay in the city. Misty, I will come by next week to pick up the table I ordered from your daughter.”

Misty nodded happily. ”Itʼs ready whenever you are. She had it finished last night before I left, we just hadnʼt had time to bring it across town yet.”

The guard gave her a smile and a pat on the shoulder. ”In that case, I will come by after my shift. Iʼve got some of that raspberry tea that you like.”
