The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1152: Missed You

By lunch, Dana was pleading for mercy, and beginning to lose control of her [Beast Form] transformation.

The instincts that had been imparted to her from the Stonefur Divine Fox magic used in her advancement demanded that she transform and dig her claws into Karl to make sure he didn’t escape, but her human mind knew that he wasn’t planning to go anywhere.

Not when he was having so much fun tormenting her in all the best ways.

”Stop, stop. Let me rest and eat.

Your dedication to training is commendable, but we’re not all superhumans.” Dana complained, then nipped at Karl’s chest before transforming back into human form.

”Fine, but I’m warning you, I will perfect that technique before our wedding night.”

Karl carried her to the shower, then realized that her legs would not support her, so they were going to have to shower in this position, then he would carry her down to breakfast.

”You know that the bride needs to survive until the wedding, right? She looks exhausted, and she’s only been back for half a day.” Tessa joked when Karl carried Dana down to lunch.

”I will work on that. Training mana control got a bit out of hand.” Karl agreed.

Tessa smirked, then gestured for the kitchen staff to bring out the food.

”Well, you’re right on time for breakfast, anyhow. The bread just cooled enough to cut.”

Ophelia made a vague gesture. ”There is a lot of new equipment in the Guild Storage, what’s that all about? Like a lot of new equipment.”

Karl chuckled. ”Check out the workshop in Drodh. I did some renovations, and we got just a few new workers. Sculptors, blacksmiths and tailors to go with our Runecrafters.”

”So, we’ve got more people working? Now, that makes sense. At least there is a chance that the gear orders will get fulfilled.

I see that Sapphire has been busy as well. She has made quite the variety of accessories, all with slightly different enhancements.

But I do notice that they’re all blue.

She’s only upgrading blue items.” Ophelia laughed.

Karl checked the inventory and chuckled. ”Indeed. Some robes and armour, mostly accessories. Fortunately, we have lightning, water and fire gems in blue for her to work with. It shouldn’t limit her range of enchantments too much if she wants everyone to know that a blue dragon made them.”

Karl also noticed that all the items were Totem Ranked, despite the dragon being at the Mythical Rank. She was actually focusing on what they were intending to sell, and not just testing the limits of her skill.

She might have kept a few other pieces for herself, but what was in the inventory was all appropriate for sale.

”I should put these up in the Guild Alliance listings, so that members know that we’ve got them for sale.” Karl sighed.

Dana turned on his leg to look up at him. ”I think it’s time that I got a trade skill as well. All the new hires are becoming experts, but the core group has still been holding out, and I’m not sure that there is a good reason for that.”

”Wait, wait! We have an idea!” One of the Lala bunnies shouted from the back door of the house.

”What’s up?” Dana asked, patting the girl’s head as she ran up.

”I have a cooking trade skill book. You can do the twirl whoosh mish mash thing and make a new skill, right?

Ultra-Mega Super cooking!” She exclaimed.

[Give me that book.] Hawk demanded.

[You want to cook?] Karl asked, shocked.

[It is the art of using fire to turn mice into better mice.] Hawk replied in a sage voice.

He had a good point.

But what he actually wanted to master was the art of barbecue, not the entire discipline of cooking.

”If I use the book, it’s gone. But I can teach others. So, let me pay you. How much do you want?” Karl asked.

The bunny smirked. ”Four advancement potions!”

”Just enough that the bunnies get ahead of the boys by a Rank?” Karl confirmed, and she bobbed her head happily.

”Well, I guess it would encourage them to work hard to catch up to their bunnies. Alright, I will give you four advancement potions as soon as Remi can make them.”

The cooking skill book vanished, and Tessa gave Karl a confused look.

”Who wanted to be a cook? Cara? I can’t see it being Thor or Opal. Maybe Hawk?”

Karl smiled. ”Yes, Hawk. Cooking is a fire - related skill, after all.”

But now that Hawk had cooking, Karl saw what Lala was talking about. If he combined [Runecrafting] with [Cooking], he got [Mystic Cooking].

”Did anyone want to be a special sort of cook? Unfortunately for the Lala bunnies, they’ve already got a trade skill, so it can’t be them. Perhaps our new Chef?”

The Obsession Demon gave a fist pump in celebration. She was obviously not going to say no to an advanced version of her obsession.

Karl held out a hand, and she came over to put her head under it, while Karl activated the [Follow Me Little One].

{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Mystic Cooking] will be transferred to the culinary connoisseur Callisto.

”Yes!! First person with the new cooking skill.” She cheered.

Then she held out her hand, and a new cookbook appeared in it.

”Alright, ladies. Let’s start getting prepped for dinner. I have new recipes to work with.” Callisto announced.

Dana laughed as the cook ran back to the pantry and started grabbing stuff out.

”Hey, I want to cook too!” Lotus complained.

”You’re sure? No changing after you pick.” Karl reminded her.

”Me, change from a specialty in making pastries and sweet things?” Lotus asked in a sarcastic tone.

”You’re right. That answer should have been obvious.”

{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Mystic Cooking] will be transferred to the healing tree Lotus.

”YES! Oh, so many ideas. You can add short-term buffs to food. I can have healing buff pie.” Lotus cheered, then ran to join Callisto in the pantry.

They were going to be eating well this week.

He should teach this skill to the Abbies in Drodh as well.
