The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 808

The Mage was still admiring his fur in the mirror when a Portal opened on the street, and a small group of mages entered the courtyard with cautious glances at the Gargoyles.

They had tried to travel straight into the yard, but the deterrent force of the Gargoyle spell had forced them to relocate, and now all of the statues were glaring at them.

The ones from the back of the house had even come to the front to see who the audacious intruders were.

Once they were assured that these people were just rude enough to want to show up in the middle of someone’s lawn, the Gargoyles returned to their posts. That let the mages relax a little, but left them with profound questions about who had done the enchantments on this Guild house and their level of paranoia. A dozen Gargoyles for such a small property was overkill.

Even the most contested of Noble Houses would either have two at the gate or four on the corners of the roof, so they could watch the whole perimeter.

"Department head... who are you? Where is Department Head Nalek?" One of the new arrivals asked.

"I am Nalek, you idiot. Look at my name with your interface. The Naga Queen here produced a new hair regrowth formula so powerful that it works even for a Bone Bear.

But that’s not the important part. The Rune Master here is unwilling to travel, but was willing to take teachers as apprentices for the break so that he could teach them the basics of one of the Runic Arts." Nalek insisted.

The four new arrivals took down their hoods, revealing long blonde hair and extended pointy ears that could only be Elven, or a similar Fae species.

They didn’t have the beauty that Karl associated with the Elves, but it seemed rude to mention that, especially if they were actually another species that regularly got slandered as ugly elves.

"I am Moira, and this is my partner, Mash. That is Dala, and her Guardian, Derek. What arts might you be able to teach? We were chosen because we don’t yet have a trade skill." The self-appointed leader of the new arrivals asked.

"I can offer Runesmithing, Runic Alchemy or, if you’re compatible, Rune Priest. Runic Architecture is also an option, but more strongly attuned to Dwarven construction."

The four all gave identical disgusted looks, and Karl became quite certain they were at least part Elf.

Then, he realized that all his Elven knowledge came from one trip to an Elven village, and the children’s stories of the Golden Dragon Nation, which had neither Elves nor Dwarves living there in the modern era. So, it might just be a regional issue.

Moira and Dala nodded to each other, the Moira spoke again.

"I will choose Runesmithing, while Dala will take Runic Alchemy."

Karl nodded. "And the other two? Mash and Derek, was it?"

Dala frowned. "They will do what we tell them to do."
