The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1031

Inside the temple, Karl walked beside their escort, while the Orcish Chieftain was a step behind, with Tessa at his side to whisper translations and notes about things that the locals didn't notice anymore.

When you saw a carving every day of your life, it was nothing remarkable. But when the carving was dedicated to a God that a Dragon Cleric, who had spent years learning about the various pantheons, couldn't identify, it was important to them.

"This was once a temple to the old gods, the ones forgotten by time, or replaced by the younger Gods. Many of their stories were said to be brought to this world by the Outreach Programs of the Darklight Host when they spread through the world, but from what I can tell in the Temple, the Guild didn't actually have any connection to the faith, unless there were members of the faithful among the Guild Membership.

See here? This is a statue of the God of Magic, Karl. The one I would assume that you were named after. It shows him in simple black robes, almost as if he were a follower of the Black Dragon, but the placard underneath is Mythril, unaffected by time, and clearly details a simple prayer to the God of Magic." Their guide explained.

Remi called her Bodyguard into her space and had them make notes of all the inscriptions and other writings that they found in the Temple.

Even if they couldn't read it right now, it could be valuable information later. Like for brother Tian. He would probably want a temple to the Beast Gods, but he had a lot of magical power, so there might be some merit in saying nice things to the God of Magic.

It wasn't just human gods, either. There was a beastkin Death God with wolf ears, and a man in a faceless mask listed as the Laughing God.

Well, that one might be human, though as they were supposed to be the god of luck, practical jokes and fate, their appearance might be ambiguous.

A happy squeal let them know that they had lost Lotus, as the Priestess was rapidly disappearing down a side hallway, as Mira laughed.

"Oh, she must have noticed already. We would have gotten there in a few minutes. The hallway that the Green Dragon Cleric vanished down leads to the altar to the god of life and fertility. A Bunny."

Tessa laughed out loud, then translated for the Chieftain, who gave an indulgent look as he turned toward the hallway Lotus had taken.

Nachtia motioned for them to keep going. "I will keep the little one out of trouble. The presence of the Dragon Gods is also strong here, and I am certain she won't damage anything."

"Thank you. We will be along in a few minutes." Karl agreed.

Mira gave him a curious look. "You and the other Clerics I can see, as you represent the Beast and Dragon Gods, but how did your entourage end up travelling with a whole Clan of Orcs? Are they here to represent the War God?"

Karl shook his head. "We were actually just finishing a fight alongside them, a challenge to see who could eliminate more of an anomaly afflicted and overpopulated Sand Howler tribe when there was a magical distortion. It deposited us here. We weren't travelling together before that."

Mira sighed and twisted her hair up into a loose bun.

"Things have gotten strange since the system started to recede. I have heard that many regions have been troubled by insane monsters in the past few years, but that's more of an urban legend.

The fact that you're here describing the issue firsthand means it's true, doesn't it?
