Chapter 577 Tasty Snacks

Karl closed the lid and took the box. "Pick your ten. I will guarantee their safety while they are here."

The mage looked relieved that his offering had been enough. He didn't know quite what the Relic did yet, but it was an opportunity for ten people, so some would have demanded an exorbitant price for it. Most of the duels for access were a result of a price too high for the challenger to easily afford, though Karl didn't know that and thought it was just a matter of ego.

Karl gave the box to Remi, who began grinding a Monarch Rank Earth Stone that she had pilfered from the Cyclops invasion.

[This will be such a good thing. We can't feed it to Rae, though. She's already a bit too Earth Element. So, either we can feed it to Thor, or sell it and get something Holy for him.] She suggested as she worked.

[More Earth Shields? Rae already does Earth Shields.] Thor complained, feeling slighted with a duplicate ability.

[No, this is what my book calls an Exuberant Vitality Potion. Well, before I added the Earth Stone to it. Now it just says that it is good for you. It's more health and plant based, and less dirt.] Remi explained.

Thor thought about it for a second. [So, you're saying it might be better to feed it to the Lotus.]

Remi considered that. [She might explode if we give her any more energy. She's been playing with children for over an hour, and she's not tired yet.]

The Spellblade brought through ten teenage acolytes from his Clan, all at the Ascended to Commander Rank bottleneck. The System Interface said that they were all classically trained mages, so if they were compatible, they would be getting Classes today.

That might eliminate some of the bottlenecks for them and let them advance. Getting to Commander was difficult, but getting past it was considered nearly impossible. So, for a faction that sent a Royal as their Champion, it was better to get more Commanders than to take risks trying to get another Royal.

Ophelia stepped up beside Karl and motioned for the young ones to follow her. Protocol said that Karl would remain here with the other leader, and someone should bring them food while they waited.

Karl waved his hand, activating [Earth Shield] and created a crude set of stone chairs and a table.

"Why don't we sit and wait? There are some conditions to access, so it takes a few minutes for most." He offered.

The mage smiled and sat on the chair, subtly activating a barrier underneath himself in case Karl tried to use the skill to attack.

Rae transformed into a human again and stepped out of her space with a plate full of roasted pork and berries.

"Sorry for the lack of cookies, I hope this suits your taste." She greeted them.

The mage did a double take as he saw her and couldn't immediately identify her species, other than that she was a Royal Rank beast and had managed to sneak up on him.

"Thank you, Rae. I have some in my inventory."

Karl took a small package of travel biscuits that the Elves had provided for him and placed them on the tray.
