The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 587

Chapter 587 Trial Time

The trial began to fade around them, and Karl wondered how the others might have fared. Not all of them would have easily entered the city from halfway up the mountain. There might have been an entrance at the bottom, or perhaps there were other spots in the area that they could have landed and searched.

When Karl's vision cleared, he was back on top of the temple, where all three clerics plus Thor were waiting for them.

"Oh, welcome back. We were wondering how long you would take." Tessa greeted them with a smile.

"I hope we didn't make you wait long."

The Archbishop chuckled and Lotus giggled as she lay curled up against Thor's side.

"You could say that. We've been back for nearly two days already."

Karl and Nacht turned to each other in confusion, wondering if this was actually part of the trial, and they weren't really out yet.

"Two days? We've only been in the trial for an hour and a bit." Karl asked carefully.

Lotus looked up from her nap spot. "That was our thought as well. We appeared in a forest village full of Elves, had lunch with a human cleric lady, and then we were back here." "Did you get a reward?" Karl asked, wondering what sort of trial they had undergone.

"We did. We just don't know what yet. When we check the system interface, it still says rewards calculating." Tessa explained.

That made both Karl and Nacht believe even more strongly that they were still in the trial, but then Nacht received a message, which shouldn't be possible in the separate space.

"Before we go any further, what happened to Prince Karl?" The Archbishop demanded, waving a hand in his direction.

Karl nodded in agreement. "I suppose a run-down is in order. We landed on a ledge outside an ancient Dwarven city. Then we followed a powerful soul aura to an opal mounted on a tomb deep in the city, and it gave us a test and a reward. I was given a gift of Evolution, and a skill called [Iron Within] that appears to have reforged my body and granted a special constitution." "A special constitution? It sounds more like is partially changed your species. Or perhaps entirely changed it with minimal change to your outer appearance." The Archbishop retorted.

Then he got a curious look on his face and opened a portal.

"Jeeves, come here and bring your assistant." The elderly Archbishop demanded.

A blue robed dragonkin poked his head through, then nodded and vanished back to wherever he had been.

Only a minute later, he came back out with a young blue robed girl that immediately made Lotus stand up and smile.

Karl discretely sniffed at the air, then chuckled. The young one was a juvenile blue dragon, not a dragonkin. Lotus must have noticed faster than he had.

"Jill, it's so good to see you again. You will never guess what we have been up to since I saw you last. Ask the big meanie if you can stay a while after he finishes working, and we will catch up." Lotus insisted, speaking so fast that her words were jumbled together.
