The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 Artwork In The Wild

It didn't take long for Hawk to have the piles cheerfully burning, with massive flames licking at the sky as the Dragonhawk swooped back and forth, adding fire to the ones that were beginning to smoke.

Despite the amount of fat on their bodies, they didn't actually burn all that well, and without Hawk or a Fire Mage, they would have had to dig a massive hole to bury them all.

The teams were setting up their tents, and the other response team was pulling a massive canvas construct out of a bag that the Church Team had brought. But Karl and his team had no intentions of sleeping on cheap cots or putting in all that work to erect a tent.

[Rae, would you like to make us a temporary fort?] Karl asked.

[Just us?]

[The Magic Knights as well. One fort big enough for us all. At ground level, but you can suspend hammocks for everyone in it.]

Rae got to work, using a number of downed trees as the base for her latest work of art and spinning a new fort that Karl could tell would top all that came before it.

At first, it looked fairly normal. Straight walls and a steeply sloped roof, then she began to add fake windows to the walls, and a large spire at the front.

She was recreating the Capital Cathedral out of silk, at the scale for a twelve-person tent.

She even went as far as to grab a crate with a camp stove from the supplies to put in the fireplace hearth she had designed at the base of the Cathedral's iconic chimney, which in reality led to the kitchens.

"You have got to be kidding me." Someone muttered from the far side of the group as Rae was putting the finishing touches on her masterpiece.

Rae had learned to make her silk quite stiff when needed, so the structure was most likely self-supporting, but she had still used a half dozen trees shaped into posts for the foundation, quickly carving them to the dimensions she needed with her limbs.

Karl heard Lotus giggle. "It's a masterpiece, a true work of art by Princess Rae. Now, it might seem a bit odd to have it placed out here in the middle of nowhere, but we can probably leave it for future visitors. They normally build a building over the Dungeon entrances, right?"

One of the government agents sighed. "While that is true, the construction normally doesn't include a scale replica of the Capital Cathedral made of Royal Rank silk. First off, do you have any idea what that tent is worth in raw materials alone? Second, why? Just why?"

Lotus' giggle turned to full out laughter from most of Karl's group, leaving Bob to answer.

"Rae likes to make a statement. There are new people here, and you didn't show her enough respect as a Princess, so she decided to show off a little and help you appreciate her." He explained.
