The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 769

With the decision made, Misty led Karl into the back of the property, where the sounds of singing were coming from what looked like a carriage house with the sides boarded up by living vines.

"Rain, come out and say hello, we have a VIP customer." She announced, and the singing stopped.

A young Dryad poked her head out of the vines, and Karl knew immediately that Lotus would not be getting anything productive done.

Perhaps Cara could keep her under control, but this little creature was adorable.

"What’s up mom? I just finished that project for the Davidson family." She answered.

"This lovely young Demon is going to renovate the old barracks, and he wants a full makeover for the main floor to turn it into a high-end magical goods and jewellery shop." Misty explained.

"Seriously? Where will he even get the goods for that?" The young Dryad asked, rolling her eyes.

"I make them. And if you can make me pretty enough wooden items, I will buy them and enchant them too." Karl replied with a smirk.

Rain giggled. "Oh, he’s good. Dryads aren’t even magical beasts, and I almost got sucked in by that charm."

Then she stepped through the vines, revealing a green floral dress, but bare feet.

"Alright, we’re good to go. I will lead the way, so we can get Stonesmith Jones on the way."

Rain skipped happily along beside them as her mother led the way through the winding streets of the outer Frostfire Gate district.

They stopped at an unassuming fieldstone house that appeared centuries old, and in stark contrast to the newer construction all around it, which was mostly wood or brick.

"Jones? We’ve got a stonework job for you. The old barracks is getting a full renovation." Misty called.

A Demon with black skin that showed glowing red from various cracks in the leathery surface stuck his head out.

No, not a Demon, Karl realized. That was a transformed Magma Dragon. His soul was definitely that of a dragon.

"Stonework, you say? Alright. I think that I can take a job today. Do you have something interesting for me?" He asked.

Karl took out a Royal Rank Earth Element stone.

That was worth significantly more than he had paid for the rest of the job, but this was an Overlord Ranked dragon, and bribing him was probably the best way to get his attention.

"Oh, now that is pretty. Alright, I will come over and make those barracks the single best Guild House in the city."

And just like that, Karl had obtained all of the team members that they needed, except for the Mage who would make the barriers.

Jones and Rain were singing together as they made it back to the gate beside the old barracks, and the Guard smiled at them.

"War Champion, it looks like you’ve found quite the assortment of workers today. I’m sure the lovely ladies of your team will be pleased." The guard greeted them.

Karl wasn’t sure how he knew that the team was ’lovely ladies’ at first. Then he realized that the kids had all been chased into the yard so that Jo could clean the place before the renovation team arrived.

That meant Tessa followed them out, Lotus came to play, and Dana had joined Ophelia on the porch for a drink.

Jones cleared his throat, a rumbling noise like boulders rolling downhill.
