The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487 Last Leg

The others quickly packed the camp and piled it in the wagon to use later. If nothing else, they could use the cloth as a prop to make it look like they were an average travelling group.

It was obvious now that being able to store items in a separate space was a rare ability, and travelling without large amounts of supplies made them stand out.

That might change soon, with the Dungeon here. But for now, they would have to be careful.

They also didn't know who could be awakened by the Dungeon. They had heard from the Beast Clerics that the last time this happened, the continent was left behind because they only got Common Grade dungeons with the system active, and that wouldn't awaken the system in anything powerful. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

This one could also come with caveats, even if it was Commander Rank. If it didn't want to awaken every species that went in, there could be unintended side effects and a massive power struggle.

But Tessa also remembered that the ones awakened by the Dungeons weren't able to advance past that point last time. There was a chance that species with higher potential might get very little out of it, if it didn't give them anything more than an inventory and skills that were worse than what they had already.

It would be insane to stick around and find out, though. "What are we going to do in Halsearing once we get there?" Tessa asked Karl as they watched the trolls run off into the distance.

"I say that we pick up some trade goods and turn ourselves into proper merchants. We can claim any destination that we want for you and Lotus, and if the wagon is loaded with trade goods, we have an excuse to go to any city we want." Karl suggested.

"So, no hiding or elaborate schemes, just trading random goods until we get to a safe border?"

Karl nodded. "I think it's going to work. See how everyone has reacted to us so far? As long as they thought that we were merchants, they didn't really care what we were doing."

"It would be better if we could actually disguise the rest of the team. Travelling with so many women in a nation that keeps slaves is a dangerous proposition." She sighed.

"Do you think that we should hire more guards? Like, actual hired guards." Karl asked.

"And have to hide who we are and what we're doing all the time? No, thanks. Hopefully, Remi's bodyguards are enough. If yours had come out the same, it would have been better, but with you calling a pair of lamias, that's just more females."

There was laughter from behind them as Ophelia came out of the camp with an armload of cloth. "He's got that sort of luck. I'm surprised that the bodyguards didn't come out as smaller copies of Remi, to be honest. We've got most of the camp packed now, so we can leave whenever. Do we have a plan?"

Karl nodded. "We're going to sell the gear we got from the Orcs, then reload the wagon with trade goods and head out of town on one of the major roads. I don't think that it matters much, one runs east, one goes northeast, and they both head near a safe border.

We just need to trade where we stop to keep up the appearances, and we're good to go."

Ophelia nodded, then loaded the supplies in the wagon.
