The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 663

Chapter 663 Capital History

The Overlords nodded to their comrades, then took seats, with Ahmad settling in next to Dana to whisper in her ear. Karl gave him a suspicious look, but the Overlord sent him a system message. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

{Magical theory developments. The Battlemage will gain from them.} That was good enough for Karl, but the fluffy cat ears of the Overlord Rank Mage were entirely too tempting, making the mage a natural ladies' man.

Tabitha turned to the Librarian. "Am I right about that location being somewhere directly over the Cathedral that was built on the ruins of an ancient tower?"

The blue dragon nodded her head. "That is right. My theory is that the object was a prize for winners of the tower. We don't know what was supposed to be in it, or if it was claimed and that was why the tower's magic faded. But the location matches, though the tower must have been thousands of metres tall.

What isn't common knowledge is that the foundation of the tower was never dismantled. The Cathedral wasn't built there simply because there was a lot of stone, there is an active trial in the catacombs under the temple. There are fifteen levels below ground, through the actual base of the defunct tower. The magic of the World Dragon is strong there, and that is why the Cathedral was actually placed on the site.

The basement trial is only good for one group of people, though.

Nobody can enter it except Bishops and Avatars of their Gods. That is the Overlords and Totems aligned with the Church. It is similar to the trial instance in the grounds, but at a much higher level.

That trial temple on the Cathedral grounds used to rely on the power of the underground temple, but after the incident the other day, it is generating its own power, and the usage is no longer so limited."

The last was said while the Librarian stared at Karl, who had made the new core for the trial next to the Cathedral. But in Karl's opinion, that wasn't really his fault. It wasn't going to let him out until he provided a new core, so one way or another, it was bound to happen.

Karl smiled at Tessa and Lotus. "So, you've got an extra fancy trial waiting for you in the future. What do you think? Two more years should do it? Or do you think it will take three to reach Overlord?"

The other Overlords laughed, while the dragon rolled her eyes.

"You say that so casually, as if everyone else in this room didn't use a massive number of resources or enjoy a string of exceptional luck for over a decade to reach their current status."

Karl shrugged. "Well, we've got both of those on our side. Plus, the System is awakening. Once it's fully active for everyone, steady progress will be much more common. As far as I know, the only real challenge to their growth will be bypassing the bottlenecks."
