Karl smiled. "Well, if I’m going to go to the Library, I should prepare a gift for them as well. There is nothing that Librarians like more than new books. If I donate a new tome to their collection, it will keep the Inscriptionists busy for weeks."
Ashbringer laughed. "That’s just devious. But are you sure that you’ll have something that they will actually be so excited to get their hands on?"
Karl nodded. "I have a number of strange and esoteric skills. They are quite useful within their niche, but they’re not part of any other class’s base skill tree, as far as I know."
Karl headed back to the house and took out his writing supplies, startling the professors, who were working at the large table on the second floor.
"Are you making something new?" Moira asked. Find your next read on freewebnovel
"Not really. I’m making a skill book for the Library, a peace offering to reduce the cost of the tomes that I am going to request. I want to get Rae some books on leather armour and clothing creation. She’s already a master with silk, as an innate skill of her species, but blending that with leather armour creation would give her a much wider set of options for her fashion."
The professors laughed at the thought of such a terrifying beast sedately making armour, but somehow it did suit her personality. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Speaking of Rae, where has she been? I haven’t seen her in a while." Moira asked.
Karl smiled. "I’m sure she takes that as a compliment, but she’s right behind you."
The professor turned around quickly, alarmed that she hadn’t noticed, and Rae laughed from the third floor, where she had been watching the Alchemists in the Library Space.
"You are an evil, evil man." Moira muttered.
"It was funny, though. You should have seen the look on your face."
Rae walked down the stairs, visible and in humanoid form.
"Most of the time I am invisible. It’s not surprising that people don’t see me. Actually, I would be shocked if anyone did see me, other than Karl." Rae explained.
"Why him? Because you are bonded?" Mash, Moira’s husband and fellow Runesmithing apprentice, asked.
"No. Because he has Soul Sight. Without that, I think I could hide from him, even if he could sense where I was through the bond."
Karl kept writing as they discussed the ways that a monster who was both invisible and incorporeal might possibly be detected. The Professors had realized that it might actually be a major security breach of the Academy.
How many creatures had managed to find their way past the wards on the Academy? They could have dozens of spies in the school and not know it.
