The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 841

Karl discretely went over to inform the younger Dryad that there was work waiting for her at home before checking on the rest of the people at the Guild House.

The assigned tasks for the teachers from Lared had been a stunning success. Not only had they managed to find an inscription that would increase the ability of a trade skill by over thirty percent, they had managed to find one that would improve any trade skill that the wearer had.

It wasn’t a flat thirty percent improvement in all aspects, but a thirty percent chance of creating a higher quality item, which was even more impressive in some ways than just increasing the chance of success or the maximum capacity of the items created by the skill.

Thirty percent more than low Overlord was still an Overlord Ranked item. But an Epic Overlord Ranked item versus a Rare Quality Overlord Ranked item were worlds apart.

"That is excellent work. If we combine this with a few other Runes, we should be able to reliably produce enhancement items for crafting professions." Karl noted.

The four teachers smiled. "There is only one problem with that. Take a look at the items that we made."

Karl inspected them again. "I don’t see the issue. One made by each of the four of you, at Royal Rank, though you used Monarch Rank Mana Jade, which is a bit of a waste."

Moira nodded. "That’s the problem. We couldn’t bring them up to more than Royal Rank, and they bonded to the creator the moment that they were crafted.

You can’t sell these, they appear to be an exclusive item for Runic Craftsmen."

Karl sighed. "Well, that is a bit of an issue. But they’re going to be remarkably useful for the four of you, and the others as well. But we need to work on getting Loros to the Commander Rank first."

Loros cleared her throat, but Karl patted her on the head. "I know you’ve got it in you, despite the bloodline limitations. A few trips to the Dungeon should help you grow, and you’ll be able to say that you experienced the dungeon in all its glory.

How many others at your power level can say that?"

Loros frowned. "None that have working brain cells. Well, maybe one. I seem to recall that the little Gecko’s father threw her into the dungeon once to work as a cleanup helper for a four-person group. She didn’t die, but nobody saw her for weeks after that."

Karl extended his senses to see how the little lizardfolk cleaner was doing, and found her in the backyard, hanging laundry on the line with Caretaker Jo.

The pair of them had become quite adept at moving around the house without being seen or heard. They were almost part of the furniture. Always there, never in the way.

Except when Lotus was bored.

The gecko girl was one of the few people her size, and she loved having others to play with who weren’t taller. But Wendy was always busy, and Caretaker Jo was too kindhearted to complain that her assistant had been stolen.

Wendy was more optimistic. "Do you really think that going in the Dungeon would do something useful? I might only be a Commander Rank Mage, but I could surely do something useful."

Karl thought about that for a moment. "That’s right. You’re a mage. There is no reason that I can’t teach you mage type skills. With a few combat spells, you should be relatively safe to accompany them, even though the standard mobs are a full Rank above you."

The Oni Demon smiled at the idea. Her brothers would have never let her anywhere near the Dungeon, much less inside it.

She was only just beginning to realize how reliant she was on others. Even at work, she usually waited for Loros to tell her what they were making, and did that until they changed tasks.
