The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 698

For a few seconds, the King just stared at Karl, wondering what this young man had done in his life to get a list of titles like that. The presence of the Darklight Host Grand War Champion Tabard unsettled him, but the other titles were no less fearsome.

"Rise, Monarch Karl. The Crown recognizes your contributions to the nation." _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Then the King made a gesture, calling the others forward.

{Royal High Priestess of the Red Dragon, Tessa, Hero of the Piltash Satyrs, has entered.}

{Royal High Priestess of the Green Dragon, Grand Healer Lotus, has entered.}

{Murim Battlemage Princess Dana, Epic Summoner of the Golden Dragon Nation, Defender of the Borderlands, has entered.}

{Titanic Berserker Princess Ophelia, Champion of the Dire Bears, has entered.}

While everyone got a title, most of them weren’t quite so grand as the ones that Karl had gotten. Well, grand sounding, anyhow. Most of the others directly related to recent events, while the majority of how it had introduced Karl had to do with his accomplishments in the distant past.

The ladies stopped one pace behind Karl, as they hadn’t been personally summoned, but had accompanied him here, and politely curtsied for a moment before the King motioned for them to rise.

"Rise, Princesses and High Priestesses. Welcome to the Royal Palace. We appreciate your prompt reply to our summons, as this is a matter of most urgent national security.

As you may have been made aware, the level of our conventional weaponry has been falling behind, due to the resurgence of the System, which has so far proven incompatible with most technological weapons.

Theoretically, there is no reason that the spells should not work, but in practice, there are many limitations, and the results have been less than favourable.

As such, we have summoned the Monarch Karl here to develop the practical applications of his Runecrafting skill, in order to produce a batch of weapons for our nation’s most powerful Elites."

None of that was anything that they hadn’t heard before, but to the other people in the room it was new information, and they all began to give Karl greedy looks, hoping to get something from him while he was here.

If he could make weapons suitable for an Overlord, then they could all benefit, as well as the factions that they represented.

The King continued. "Beginning tomorrow morning, you will be working with the Forgemasters and the Artificers to develop their project. But fear not, the crown will reimburse you handsomely for your skills.

The maids will show you to your suite, and we shall be looking forward to the reports of your success."

That appeared to be a dismissal of sorts, and Karl saw the guards behind the King subtly gesture that he no longer needed to remain at formal attention.

A group of ten maids came to escort Karl and his team to their suite, which seemed a little excessive. But if that was the way that they did things here, Karl wasn’t going to complain.

Half of the maids were Commanders, he noticed. However, the other half were not mages or system users at all. There was a clear distinction between the two, but not as if the less powerful ones were trainees. More like, the Commanders were hostesses in Maid uniforms.
