The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 773

Jones Junior thought about the future for his daughter, then patted her on the head.

"Why don’t you see if he can get you started on an appropriate trade? If the apprenticeship doesn’t work out, then we can find you another job. But I think that you might be happy here." He suggested.

Wendy Jones nodded happily and extended her hand to Karl, her red eyes sparkling with excitement.

Like her father, she could almost pass for human, if it wasn’t for her eyes. But Karl could see that she did have a tail, as it swished under her skirt when she was excited. Her father had said that her mother was a magic demon, so Karl had expected feathers or wings. However, it was possible that she had a feathered tail.

That might be a bit impolite to ask about if she kept it tucked.

Besides, if he really wanted to know, Lotus would find out soon enough. There wasn’t much that the Green Dragon Cleric was shy about asking, and finding out if a new friend had a feathered tail was well down the list of things that might cause her to hesitate.

Karl smiled at her as he shook her hand, then activated [Follow Me, Little One].

Wendy got an odd look on her face as he transferred the [Apprentice Runesmith] skill to her, then threw herself into Karl’s arms and began planting kisses on his cheek, much to her father’s dismay.

And Dana’s annoyance as well, Karl realized as he gently removed the young Demoness and placed her back on her feet.

"I taught her the Apprentice level of the necessary trade skill. It’s one of my talents. She just got a bit excited." He apologized sincerely, looking towards Dana.

She sighed and nodded, while Mage Jones looked confused.

"You granted a skill with a touch?" He asked.

Karl nodded. "As I said, it’s a unique skill for my class. She is my apprentice now, so she got the necessary skills.

Starting tomorrow, I will begin teaching her the basics of Runecrafting, and the other craftspeople here will help her with her sculpting skills.

I should likely build a forge as well. But that’s not a big deal, I can do that myself when we need it."

The Mage nodded politely, accepting the arrangement. Karl might be an outsider, but those rings he sold were an untapped market. Now that his daughter was going to learn the art of making them, her future was nearly guaranteed.

"I should get everyone settled in before we lose the whole day. Thank you all for coming on such short notice to upgrade our new home." Karl announced, with a slight bow, towards the two remaining craftsmen.

Mage Jones hugged his daughter, then waved goodbye on his way out.

The Magma Dragon simply nodded to Karl and walked out the gates beside the compound. The house was close enough to the wall that he wouldn’t even need to pay an entry fee to get Karl’s attention if the Beast Master forgot about bringing him books.

But he had young whelps in his extended family as well. Perhaps one of them might be a good fit? If nothing else, he could send one of the oddballs to the Beast Master. If he could tame a Bloodbath Spider, he could deal with an unruly crossbreed Dragon.

"You can really do many wonderful things. What sort of class is Beast Master?" Wendy asked once they were alone in the courtyard with Dana.

Dana wrapped her arm around the new apprentice. "He can bond with magical beasts, and most of his skills are based on training them. Tell me, what did the System Message say to you when he granted you a skill?"
