The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437 City Management

For the next few minutes, everything was chaos in the house as the local branch of the Darklight Host began to arrange things to their liking, and sent out messages to all of the relevant town employees and authorities.

Karl sat mostly forgotten with the children, so he took a moment to examine the reward message that he had received from the System Status screen.

[Reward Gained] +2 inventory slots

Karl thought that message was a bit odd. He didn't have inventory, other than a storage bag that was bonded like any other piece of equipment.

Only, that wasn't true anymore. He did have storage spaces, two empty ones, and one that contained his storage bag.

In his mind, they appeared as chests, no larger than a backpack, but that tripled his available space to store items. No longer would he have to rely on the beast spaces if he wanted to keep something, or the limited amount of room inside his one storage bag. He could put loads of items in the chests, and keep it there until he needed it.

The first thing he was going to have to collect was food, other than baked goods. Travelling without a cleric was a massive annoyance, and not an experience that he would recommend to anyone.

Eventually, the Darklight Host members finished their work in the aftermath of the battle, and the reports from the guards who had watched the duel began to flow in.

The younger mage gave Karl an appreciative look, then called Nathan forward from his spot in the kitchen.

"Alright, we understand that you have a quest to complete, returning these youngsters to their families. So, I will open the portal for you, and you can meet with the local Mayor, who is a friend of mine. He will see to it that everything is taken care of." The elderly man explained.

Karl stood to shake his hand, and the mage gave him an odd look. "If you hadn't said that you're not from here, I would think that there is something seriously off about your fashion sense." He sighed, shaking his head.

Karl laughed, and changed back to his Royal Rank [Bestial Raiment] skill armour.

"Better?"

The old man nodded. "Now you don't look like you were taking hallucinogens while letting a Nature Priest make you a Noble Lord cosplay."

In his mind, all of the beasts laughed. The suit was actually quite normal for the Golden Dragon Nation, used for everything from business meetings to politics and news interviews.

A few of the younger members were staring at Karl in admiration, or more correctly, at his tabard.

"Wow, a gold trimmed tabard, with tassels. Just how many battles have you won?" One of the younger staff members asked.

Karl shrugged, "Well, I haven't lost one yet. But mostly I seem to have a knack for pleasing the World Dragon."

That made everyone in the room laugh. "I have a knack for pleasing the World Dragon, he says." Nathan, the portal mage, laughed.

The room fell silent as another man walked in, Royal Ranked like Karl. He was shirtless and covered in scars, which was somewhat surprising, as this world clearly had healers and clerics, but his eyes were familiar to Karl.

They had the same predatory look of a combat veteran that Karl had gotten used to seeing on the faces of the Elites on the Hill Giant front.

He had a Darklight Host sash around his waist that looked like Karl's tabard, only the trim and tassels were silver.
