The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 752

As they walked down the boardwalk, Karl analyzed the changes in Dana’s aura.

As a Mage, it was easier to guess her power level than anyone else just by touch, and there was a noticeable change from this morning.

The trip to the dungeon had done them all a lot of good, and if that sort of progress kept up, it might only be a few weeks or a month of regular visits for her to level up.

Their trip down the boardwalk brought them to a small restaurant operated by Gnolls, a form of beastkin that looked like hyenas, and tended to bark at each other to accentuate their shouted orders.

This one was closer to the docks, and seemed more popular with sailors than locals.

But the smell of fried seafood had drawn Lotus in, and even if the wine was cheap, the food was excellent.

Likely, they should have ordered a bottle of rum, as it was likely to be drinkable. At the other tables, the smell of the Ale was somewhere between stagnant seawater and pickle juice. The wine had seemed like a better option at the time.

They had a whole platter of fried food and a bowl of peeled prawns on the table, along with the bowl of spicy mixed pretzels and nuts that was on every table.

Maybe they were the secret to making that ale drinkable?

As they were deciding whether to switch to Rum or go looking for better beverages, a whole ship full of sailors stumbled through the door, still getting their land legs and cracking jokes with pouches of coin in their hands.

"Drink up lads, we’ve got two days, and then we’re out again before the Kopji fleet gets here." One of the men shouted to his fellows.

Karl turned to one of the sailors. "There’s a Kopji fleet coming?"

The sailor picked up someone else’s drink and drained it.

"Better believe it. After the beating that the Ghol Regiment put on their Sharakzah Port, they’re out for blood. Had it coming to them, they did. What sort of fools try to blockade a Demon Fleet in port for ransom? But that doesn’t matter one way or another if they show up here." The sailor replied.

Karl threw a silver coin to the waitress and motioned to the man and his friends.

She brought them a whole tray full of Rum bottles, and the Sailors raised a toast to Karl.

One of the other sailors in the restaurant laughed. "It’s just a Kopji Fleet. The lizards will put on a good show out in the bay, then go away after they have proven to whoever hired them that they made some effort to attack the city.

They’re both the best and worst mercenaries in the world. Great fighters, but the laziest bunch of louts you’ll ever meet."

One of the men in the back spat on the floor and gave a bitter laugh. "Perhaps they’ll do us a favour and burn down the slums in the Black Shade. The captain put us at the north dock, and I can smell their filth from the mast watch."
