The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 742

The guards that had accompanied the assistant and the Governor set a large chest down on the ground, and Musa gestured to it.

"I believe that should be sufficient payment for your work, Lord Runemaster." The Midwife explained.

The guard opened the lid, showing that it was mostly full of silver and copper coins, but a scattering of rough magical gems and other items.

"If my suspicions are right, this is your entire life savings." Karl replied. Find your next read on freewebnovel.com

The Governor laughed at the look on his face and patted him on the shoulder.

"On the contrary. It’s yesterday’s gate collections. The Midwife is an employee of the city government, so her expenses are covered by the city."

Karl smiled. "Well, that does make me feel better about it. Alright, I agree with the price. Thank you for your patronage, and you are welcome to look for me in the future if you need my expertise again."

The Midwife nodded happily as Karl moved the chest to his inventory, but the look on the Governor’s face said that he planned to do no such thing.

Surely, he didn’t think that Karl could only make fertility charms?

Remi spoke up as Karl bowed and turned to leave. [No, I have been researching since people started treating you strangely. Cat Demons, which look a lot like you do now, have a reputation for making deals too good to refuse.

Deals that put you permanently in their debt, or that take something much more valuable than you thought you agreed to.

For example, it wouldn’t be uncommon for a Rakshasa to have written the purchase agreement in a way that all the children born of the fertility stone belonged to them.]

She even brought up the pages in the {Compendium of Demons} tome that she had acquired somewhere.

[You know, you can acquire more than Priestesses from the Library.] Remi reminded Karl.

[But Priestesses come preloaded with knowledge.] Hawk noted.

[They smell better than books, too.] Thor agreed.

Cara nodded in agreement. They even tasted better. Books weren’t even worth licking.

Rae agreed with her sister. Humans definitely tasted better than books.

Remi sighed in exasperation as her siblings failed to understand the basic appeal of gaining knowledge from books. But they had her, and with her guidance, their Karl could guide them all to new skills.

Karl made his way out of the building towards the gate, where the guards were doing their very best not to laugh.

"Sir, might I ask what exactly you delivered to the midwife?" The Guard Captain asked quietly as Karl reached the exit.

"A Royal Rank Fertility Charm blessed by the Green Dragon God." Karl replied happily.

"Ah, I had hoped that it was finally the delivery of growth potions for premature children. They’ve been on backorder for ages."

Karl shook his head. "Sorry. But I can inquire if you’re desperate. However, premature children normally catch up to their peers once they’re school aged. They just need to endure until then."

The guard nodded. "Please do. You’re at the Laughing Dragon, right? I remember that the guards said something about a Werebear and a Cat demon hanging out with a bunch of Priestesses."

"Yeah, that was most likely us. I didn’t know that we were so memorable." Karl replied.
