The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 667

Chapter 667 Dave's Not Here

Overlord Joram looked down at the flaming bird sitting on his lap with fondness. "I am going to retire for the evening. Dave wants to fly free and explore his new abilities."

Karl nodded. "Do you want Hawk to look after him? There are many scary things in the world for an Awakened Rank magical beast."

Joram shook his head. "I think he will be fine. He has been flying around as a common bird all his life."

Karl got up and opened the balcony door. "He can join you back home when he's done. I'm sure he's not going to get lost."

Before Joram could say anything, Dave was rocketing out the door, leaving a streak of fire behind him as he tested his newly enhanced wings. His species was already among the fastest of birds, and now he was even faster.

His happy calls could be heard circling the building, as Karl left the door open, knowing that there were dozens of other magical beasts in the area, including the Blink Cats, who wouldn't likely care that he was claimed now that he was a viable food product.

Catching him would be hard. Defeating his defensive flames would be harder, but Blink Cats were crafty, and they had a particular love for hunting low-flying birds.

As a common Falcon, he wasn't worth more than a bit of harassment, but that was different now.

Karl turned to the Librarian. "Do you mind if I just shorten your name? Draconic names are terribly hard for me to pronounce, and I always get the z sound in names like Kelithuza wrong."

The blue dragon gave him a curious look. "And what did you want to call me, other than my title as Librarian?"

"How about Lady Keli?"

Half of the Overlords choked on their drinks, while Othello giggled and Lotus nodded in agreement.

The Librarian gave Karl a suspicious look, so he decided to elaborate.

"Lady is properly formal for your Rank, Keli is easy to pronounce, and it's got the sort of energetic and enthusiastic ring to it that I associate with a desire to learn."

[Because you are around Lotus and Cara too much, and you associate learning with curiosity.] Thor noted.

[They do learn many things, though.] Rae agreed.

Overlord Othello slung a companionable arm over the blue dragon's shoulder, and ruffled her hair. "Besides, you're a young dragon still. No need to sound all stuffy and professional all the time."

The Librarian actually smiled at that. "Little girl, you were born in the hotel room above my thousandth birthday party."

Karl smiled. "See, a positively svelte young Debutante."

The Librarian snorted in amusement. "We need to get you away from Nacht and Orthos, they're messing with your sense of draconic age progression.

However, if you can complete my learning challenge, I will agree to your nickname."

Karl nodded. "I will warn you, unless it is written in Runic, I'm not actually all that strong with fancy words."
