The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1085

Chapter 1085: Deve’s Reccomendation

Karl considered the options, then headed for the safe rooms in the lower basement.

Those were intended to protect the weakest of Guild members, but they would also be the best of the workshops and labs for the Darklight Host.

Karl looked at the small and dingy rooms of the first basement level and frowned. It was more like a dorm than anything, similar to the second level of the Drodh Guild House, but even larger, as it apparently extended the entire distance under the courtyard.

There was enough space here for a hundred people, and while it was brightly lit and well decorated, it still felt like a cramped budget motel.

"I think that we can make some updates here, but that can wait. The lowest basement level will be the most important, and that’s where I want to put the portal." Karl informed Dana, who had followed him downstairs.

The lowest level had a safe room, complete with thick metal door, and then a large open area, with a few glass walled lab rooms. Already set up for just what they needed.

The labs could be observed from outside, but had powerful barriers on them, and Karl could see that someone had set mana crystals into the walls by the doors as storage for the barriers.

That was an excellent start, and it would allow the Guild to work in safety on experimental projects.

"I think that we can place the portal array right here." Dana suggested, with a gesture toward what Karl would have called the reception area for people who had come down the stairs.

"What about at the back of the room, so that we can put security at the door? I can give it a Gargoyle or two, in case someone tries to mess with the building." Karl suggested.

"Oh, that’s not a bad idea. Having them near the stairs, and then we can put a few more upstairs as well. But inside the building, so that the other Alliance Members don’t think that we’re threatening them."

Dana moved to stand where Karl was, and looked around the room. Most of the labs were visible from that location, but not the entrance to the Safe Room, which was set around a corner.

That would keep it out of the direct line of fire if the enemy came from the portal.

"Alright, I think this spot works. Though, we could put it in one of the storage rooms, so it could be locked down."

Karl chuckled. "I am going to put the other entrance in the Illusionary City of the Library. If they can get that far, it will be extremely impressive."

"In that case, there isn’t much to worry about. Nobody will even know that it exists. Are you going to have Opal set an Illusionary Domain here as well?"

Karl shook his head. "No. I’m going to set one with an Illusion Element Stone. We can have the Gargoyles set up in a manicured garden area, with a hedge maze. The three exits will lead to the three ways out of the main room, and back into reality.

It will give the researchers and crafters a place to relax as well, without having to be far from their labs. I’m thinking that a second illusion to expand the crafting area would be good as well. There isn’t a lot of room to have dozens of workers down here."

Dana nodded, then yawned.

"You work on that. I’m going to bed."

Karl laughed and swept her up in his arms. "No, we’re going to bed. I will take care of the space in the morning. It’s not that big of a rush job."

Lotus woke Karl sometime the next morning by poking him repeatedly in the face while pacing in place.

"What’s up? You’re awfully excited this morning." Karl asked, while adjusting Dana in his arms.
