The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 846

Karl took out one that was carved to look like Lotus’ dragon form.

It was on an oval base, which gave him plenty of room on the bottom to carve. So, he quickly planned what he needed. Cleaning intentions, organization, water for mopping floors, wind to keep everything dry and dust the books, with a modifier for gentle strength, so nothing was damaged.

That still left him with some extra space, so Karl added runes for repair, removing stains, and refreshing mana, but targeted to items being cleaned so that it would give a gentle nudge of mana to failing ancient artifacts, which helped keep them stable.

Karl took a pencil and drew the runes, then quickly carved them with a claw, before adding mana to activate the whole thing. It was a complex concept, to be certain, but when he finished, the dragon statue’s eyes glinted blue, and he knew that his efforts had been acknowledged by one of the Gods.

{Epic Grade} [Statue of Tidiness] Cleanliness is next to godliness.

Karl looked at the item description in amusement for a moment, then handed the little white and red dragon statue to Overseer Rashid.

"Why don’t you try that out and see if it’s worth the exchange? If not, I can supplement with something I have in stock." Karl offered.

Overseer Rashid pushed a bit of mana into the statue, and a ball of blue magic formed around the dragon, before soaking into the statue, making it look like a living Blue Dragon.

Seconds later, a gust of wind spread through the building, causing books and papers to shift around, but not at random. Scrolls slotted back into cabinets, books left on tables returned to carts, floors began to shine with a freshly washed gleam, decades of dirt and grime were removed from the sides and tops of bookshelves, while dozens of lost and forgotten manuscripts were recovered from hidden spots and behind shelves.

Within a minute, everything was perfectly clean and organized, and Karl heard a happy draconic rumble from the statue, before it faded back to a plain Mana Jade statue.

{I think that worked wonderfully.} Remi noted.

"I don’t remember some of these scrolls. Where did this come from?" Overseer Rashid asked as he walked to a cart, where an ancient scroll was neatly rolled and freshly cleaned.

He picked it up carefully, and Karl could hear how brittle the paper was.

The Magic Demon cast a spell on it, and the ancient parchment glowed with energy, then became visibly less faded.

Rashid unrolled the scroll, and then his eyes opened wide in shock.

"This is... impossible." He muttered.

Remi slid over to look over his shoulder, and read the notes.

It was a list of spell ingredients and instructions for an Orcish Shamanistic Ritual to pacify a major storm at sea.

{How long have the Demons held the city?} Remi asked, startling the Demon with her presence mere centimetres from his face.

"About four thousand years. This must have been left when we took and renovated the city. Then it was shifted around until it ended up here in the Library, which was built about a thousand years ago, replacing a smaller Library in the compound of the Castle.

How it survived all this is a mystery, but we don’t know a lot about ancient Orcish Shamanistic magic.
