The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 804

Karl set the rings in the display cases, while Remi placed the crates of potions behind the counter.

"We have a hundred Commander Rank rings with Giant Strength and Skill Damage buffs, thirty Monarch Ranked Rings with Mana Storage, Skill Power, and mana regeneration, and five hundred each of the lesser healing and recovery potions, both at Monarch Rank." He announced as everything was placed.

Those potions were the mainstay of every adventuring group, the emergency assistants needed to prevail in a hard-fought battle. So, all the merchants assumed that Karl had gone so far as to clear out their Guild Bank storage to provide the items for them today.

The lesser potions weren’t expensive, two silver coins each, even at the Monarch Rank. But that was still two hundred more gold, and a sense of satisfaction for the merchants who would get a whole box full of potion vials.

The ingredients also all grew in Remi’s swamp at a rapid rate, so she could do this every day and not run out of them. It would just keep the weeds down.

There were still some arguments, but after a bit of back and forth, the deal was struck, and the items split between the ten merchants in the shop who didn’t back down from the threats of their peers.

A few more were still present, but had decided it was best not to compete today, and let the others have the win.

They could try again next trip.

As they left, The Gargoyles informed Karl that they were putting on a show of being sad and defeated so that anyone watching along the road would know that they weren’t the ones who had gotten the valuable loot.

It was a cunning plan. Leave, put on a show, but also let the spies who might be gathering intelligence to sell to pirate groups know that the others would have something good on board their ship this trip.

That would keep them away from the ships of the unsuccessful merchants, who would still have an entire boat load of goods from other shops aboard to sell.

As the last of the customers left, Davis went out and placed a "Closed for Restock" sign on the gate, but only closed one side, in case someone with a custom order or other request wanted to enter.

"Who is the other Overlord that I sense?" Ashbringer asked curiously.

"Oh, my class is Beast Master, I have a number of bonded Magical Beasts.

One of them created a magical library area with an Illusion Domain spell, that’s the other Overlord. Then there is a Monarch-Ranked Void Badger around here somewhere, plus a Divine Thunder Cerro and a Bloodbath Spider with the dungeon team. Plus Hawk, the Ghostfire Thunderbird, who is currently on the roof.

There is one other non beast member of the group upstairs in the Library, would you like to meet her?" Karl replied.

The Demonic smith smiled and nodded, then followed Karl up to the third floor.

Lotus was in the middle of the room, buried in puppies create by the butterfly’s illusions. She didn’t even look up until Ashbringer began to laugh.

"A Green Dragon Cleric? Oh, this will be a fun place. Hello, high priestess." He greeted Lotus.

"Hello, strange man with his head on fire. Would you like to have a seat? There are puppies."

Ashbringer sat on a cushion, and a few of the fluffy creatures climbed onto his legs. His joy was immense, but he looked somewhat shocked.

"So, this is what it’s like. Real ones are terrified of me, because of the fire. It never got better, even now that I’m no longer a child who can’t control his flames, and these pups are not afraid at all." He muttered.

"Just avoid squishing them. Little Butterfly didn’t put much magic in them, so they’re very fragile." Lotus warned.

Ashbringer nodded. "If you damage an illusion too much, it breaks. I understand. But they feel so real, it’s incredible. The power of a Domain ability can’t be underestimated."

The others came upstairs while the new smith was playing with puppies, and Karl did the introductions, then remembered to remind Davis that they didn’t need a smith anymore unless Ashbringer wanted an apprentice.

As happy as he was, Karl couldn’t see him turning down the job.
