The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 Honored Guests

Once the helicopters were all on the ground, the workers started to stake out other building locations, as if they were making a small village around the dungeon.

Now it made a bit more sense. If they were going to make a dozen permanent buildings at the same time, they might actually have a use for all these people.

Bob looked around at the work in progress. "This is chaos. It looks like they're going with metal frame and sheeting buildings for most of the structures, but they're going to need to build a wall around the whole complex if they're not going to make something more sturdy. They don't usually keep Elites on station at these things, or at least not strong ones. So, they need some sort of protective barrier that will keep the wild beasts out of the complex." Doug brought out a cake, sliced for the whole group, and they turned people watching into their afternoon entertainment. The important people weren't here yet, or at least they weren't coming over to talk to the Elites, so nobody was in a hurry to get up from their seats.

Late in the afternoon, a feeling of approaching power drew Karl and the beasts' attention to the west. "Do you see something?" Doug asked as he noticed that Karl was distracted.

"There is more than one Overlord coming. By the speed, I am guessing that they're in a helicopter. It's too fast to be a car, even if there was a road that came to this spot." Karl explained.

"You can tell that from this distance?" Ruth asked.

"Yeah. Or one of the beasts can, which is the same thing because when they are alerted, I am alerted." Karl replied with a shrug.

[It's not Overlord Drake.] Rae noted.

[And there are three of them, I am pretty sure.] Hawk agreed. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

"Three Overlords, Hawk thinks. None of them are Overlord Drake, who I have often crossed paths with in the past." Karl explained.

Bob laughed. "It seems like every time we run into someone famous, you're already friends with them. Even the Colonel is an old friend of yours already, and you're only just about to finish your first year at the Academy."

Karl shrugged and waited for the helicopter to come in sight.

"I have met a rather extraordinary selection of people so far, I can't deny that. I even met the Archbishop for a few seconds."

Bob looked like he was going to ask, then realized that the incident was almost certainly classified, and while they were pretty relaxed in their assignment to accompany Karl, there was still a whole team of Magic Knights from the Inquisition sitting right next to them.

Karl saw Colonel Valerie in the distance, motioning for them to change. "Alright, it looks like it's showtime. Everyone get into your formal best, the important people are on their way in."

He was about to change to his suit with the Royal Rank cape when Jodi, one of the familiar Bureau of Elite Development's Agents under Colonel Valerie, came jogging over.

"Stay in your armour. The fancier, the better. They have a cameraperson with them, and that means they'll be expecting staged photos. Most of you should be fine as is, just Karl and Bob will need to change." He explained.

Morgana was in her usual black dress, the clerics were in their robes, and the Magic Knights never changed out of their armour in public. So it was really just Karl, Bob and Ophelia who were in casual wear.

Karl changed into his armour with the fur trimmed Ice Giant cloak, but without his helmet, while Bob changed back to his shining Knight outfit with the most glorious horned helmet equipped.
