The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1297  How Is Drodh

Once the dinner was finished, the group split up, and Karl went back to the hotel so he could work on new items in peace, and still watch the fights. ”Will you be joining me?” He asked as Dana finished her meal.

She shook her head. ”No, Iʼm going back to the Guild House in Drodh. I promised Sapphire a few more rare skills for her library, and then someone needs to check up on the people there. The crafters should be doing well, but weʼve also got the orphanage, which might need something that theyʼre too shy to ask Davis for.

We really do need to give him a raise as well. Heʼs doing so much more than just being a floor manager for the shop these days.”

”Youʼve got a point. Since we got busy with everything else, heʼs been left with the management of the Drodh Guild House, and that canʼt be easy when weʼve overrun him with blue dragons.” Karl agreed.

Dana smirked. ”I think that the blue dragons are the only part that is making it manageable. They hate to be disturbed with their work, so they keep everything organized.

We are getting a lot more visitors there than we used to, though.”

Karl sighed. ”You have a point. I should be over there. Iʼve got so many skills that need to go to the blue dragons as well. Sapphire wonʼt forgive me if I keep skills from her. Plus, I can more efficiently help with her experiments.”

Follow Me, Little One was not a skill that any of the others had been able to use, so they had to actually write out the skill books to teach them to the test subjects.

The librarians didnʼt really mind the work, but if there was a more efficient way to spread knowledge, they would prefer that.

And that was how Karl and Dana both ended up at the worktables in the tavern of the workshop area, being lectured about being absentee managers by a centuries old blue dragon.

”Once you start a project, you need to see it through, you canʼt just be running off every few days to start on something new.” Sapphire complained.

”We have quite a lot going on, though. There is the Warrior Project, the Dungeon Project, the regular funding raids, the materials raids, the arena, new gear for the teams, then the political meetings to build alliances for the Darklight Host.” Karl explained.

”Thatʼs exactly my point. Stop starting new things!”

Dana winked at him. ”You forgot that we also need to sort through caretakers from the Red Dragons to run the baby dragon orphanage. Itʼs not going to be long before they start hatching, and there are still too many applicants.”

Sapphire waved off her concern. ”Iʼve got that handled. The blue dragons will be sending a few teachers, the white is sending a dedicated medic, the silver dragons have assigned one magical researcher, and they will mediate the arguments between the red dragons over who gets to watch the hatchlings.”

[Chaos!] Cara cheered.

”Oh, that reminds me, Iʼve got a new skill. I donʼt suppose that you have any chaos element aligned volunteers? Iʼve got a Chaos Dragon Constitution skill that is epic grade and might be quite popular if anyone can use it.

There is also an Elemental Wrath Totem for the Shamans, Dark Flame, for the Unholy and fire aligned, which should be most Wrath Demons, and Unholy Beast Transformation at the Epic Grade.” Karl added.

”Oh, is that all?” Sapphire asked in a snide tone.

”No, but it should do for today.” Sapphire sighed, then nodded. ”We have volunteers for most of your skills, but finding someone compatible with a Chaos type Constitution will not be easy. We could try with some of the beastkin, but it might cause unintended evolutions and unpredictable results.”

”You could give it to badgers.” Dana suggested.

The old blue dragon gave her a look that suggested giving badgers a stronger constitution was the very last thing that she would ever want to do.

But Dana was right. The badger type beastkin were the ones most likely to be able to use the skill.

”Alright, I will arrange for someone compatible to learn your constitution skill. I also have a Shaman here who can learn the totem form, and more than one suitable Demon. In fact, Ashbringer should be in on his way to work. He usually stops to get a snack to go.” Sapphire agreed.

Dark Flames might not be perfectly matched to the Demonic Grandmaster Smith, but they were very, very close. They were also stronger than the demonic fire that he already used.

But now that he thought about it, Karl realized that adding the Elemental Wrath Totem to the workspace would likely give them bonuses while crafting elemental weapons as well. Technically, it only added damage to elemental attacks, but when you were crafting items that added elemental damage, having the effect active should transfer some portion to the item that you were making.

Ashbringer poked his head in the door, having heard his name. ”Someone was calling for me?” He asked.

”Perfect timing. The Karl is going to teach you a skill.” Sapphire explained.

Ashbringer simply walked over and waited, not surprised by much of anything that Karl might come up with at this point. Even if they told him that Karl had grown wings and learned to fly faster than a dragon, the Demon would just nod and accept it as part of the abnormality that was his Guild Leader.

{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Dark Flame] will be transferred to the Devoted Blacksmith Ashbringer.

The Demon lit a black flame over his hand that seemed to suck the light out of the room, and then snuffed it with a smile. ”Oh, that is absolutely perfect for Wrath Demons. Fire and Unholy Element combined will make the most wonderful weapons for Demons. All I will need to do is attune the bonuses and materials to the type of fighter that they are, and send it off to the Runecrafters.”

Karl chuckled and the smith shrugged. ”Do you have any idea how much time it saves me having them here? Instead of spending days beating the bonuses I want into the weapon, I can just have them draw all over it and call it a day.”
