The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 768

Karl smiled at Teacher Jo. "I have a proposition for you. I am going to renovate this building as a branch Guild House. I will hire you to stay on as the caretaker, just as you have been, but now with funding to actually fix things.

Then we will turn the main floor area into a shop, where we sell the items that my teammates make.

You see, we’re all pushing to make it to Overlord Rank, but that is going to need money and opportunities, plus countless visits to the Dungeon, unless there is a higher Rank one nearby."

The little Demon smiled. "Does that mean there’s a budget for cleaning supplies? I can go get everything that we will need right away. I don’t know what you’re going to change, but I can make everything clean as can be by the end of the day."

Her excitement level had shot through the roof when she found out that she was going to have an actual job again, but the ladies were giving her looks that said they were concerned with her mental health.

"Sorry, I’m an Obsession Demon, and my Obsession is cleanliness. You have no idea what hell it has been being unable to afford to properly clean." She rambled.

Karl winked at Dana. "I guess that means no shoes in the house."

Teacher Jo, or Caretaker Jo, as she would be in her new role. Looked horrified at the concept of shoes outside the common areas of the house, and Karl noticed that everyone inside had left their shoes by the door, despite the poor condition of the floor.

"The city will be short on construction workers for a bit, as they have to take care of the portions of the city that collapsed in the attacks, but do what you can, and we will get started on the renovations as materials come available."

Caretaker Jo smiled. "I know people. They’re outside the wall, so nobody will be likely to call on them for the repair, but we can hire them to do the renovation with Earth and Nature Magic. One of them is a Dryad, and they’ve got a great sense of style.

You’ll just need to pay their way into the city as part of the fee."

Karl nodded. "Just give me the name and location, and I will go get them. While I do that, you can lead the ladies on a walk through, so they can see what we have to work with."

Jo wrote him a note, including a rough map of the Frostfire Gate suburbs. The location was further east, toward the ocean, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

Karl nodded to the guard on the way out, and the man held up a hand to talk to him.

"Did you buy the old barracks?" He asked.

"The Governor gave them to my team for our efforts during the battle. We’re planning to make it a combination of our Guild House and a shop." He explained.

"Oh? Not tearing it down to build something bigger and better?"

Karl shook his head. "That might break Caretaker Jo’s heart. We’ve hired her on to keep the place up. I’ll have to hire a few more professionals as well, but I’m going to get a renovation team that she recommended."

The guard nodded and smiled. "If you get back within the next three hours, come through this gate. I lived in those barracks for most of my youth. It will be good to see them back in top condition again.

But I have to warn you. When an Obsession Demon says she’s obsessed with cleanliness, she’s not joking. That tiny psychopath used to chase us with a whip if we didn’t shower after morning training."

Karl laughed. "I’m sure that the ladies in my team will be on her side. The bubble bath stock goes almost as fast as clean socks." _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

The guard laughed and waved farewell as Karl jogged off to go find the recommended workers.

Thirty minutes of brisk walking brought him to a beautifully decorated gothic mansion, with a carefully groomed hedge maze in the yard.

That was what he was looking for, but there should have been a sign out front that marked it as a furniture maker.

Hopefully, the place hadn’t changed owners.
