The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 829

Over the course of the next week, thousands of merchant caravans rolled into town from nearby cities, and the cold storage warehouses were slowly emptying, while other buildings were repurposed as massive smoke houses to cure the whale meat for longer-term storage.

It would be some time before the price of whale meat recovered, but Karl thought that within the next few weeks the demand for other meats would begin to increase. Even if it was cheap and incredibly high energy, people would only want to eat the same thing for so long.

The teachers were getting much better with basic Runecrafting and Alchemy, but more in the Alchemy realm. Runic Alchemy class under Remi had yielded incredible results, and the store was well stocked with potions and tinctures of all sorts, along with the apprentice made Commander Rank items.

Ashbringer had made three pairs of war axes for Karl to upgrade to Overlord Rank, and today the representative from the Castle was coming to pick up their first shipment of powerful items.

The whole Guild was looking forward to his arrival, as Karl and Ashbringer had gone all out to troll him this time. All of the items that they had produced for the City this time were Overlord Ranked, but there were only ten rings, and the six axes.

The Gargoyle at the gate whistled to let them know that someone had entered, and Karl moved to the door to greet their guest.

"Overlord Karl. It’s a pleasure to meet you in person. I am Rock, Lord General of the Drodh City Guard." The burly bronze demon announced as soon as he saw Karl standing in the doorway.

"Lord General Rock, it’s a pleasure to meet you as well. We have created a small number of items this month, but I believe that the City Governor will be pleased with them."

The General looked amused. The intent here was to resell them at auction if they were suitable, not for the Governor to profit off them, other than the small handling fee.

But when Davis placed the items on a counter, General Rock couldn’t contain his eager smile.

"Are those Overlord Ranked Epic Grade weapons?" He asked, moving close to inspect them.

"Indeed. And all six are identical. They have [Life Leech], Skill Damage Increase, Sharpness and a rather sizeable damage increase." Davis explained with vague gestures to different portions of the runes, as he didn’t know what they actually meant.

"Then the rings?" General Rock asked.

"The rings are all combat oriented. Titanic Strength, Injury Negation, and Agonizing Blows. I’m told that it is quite effective. The agony effect should turn even a slap to the face into the equivalent of a stun spell."

Davis’s smile had a somewhat evil tone to it. He had gotten Karl to inscribe that into a pair of gloves for him to wear at work, so that problematic customers could be disabled without serious injury.

He had inadvertently learned a valuable fact during testing. You could not torture a Vampire with pain spells. Their venom converted pain to pleasure in their victims, so they didn’t scream when being drained. But it made the Vampires entirely immune to pain.
