The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 854

Even when everyone came out of the separate space and began prepping to set up the shop for the day, they didn’t know that anything had happened. All of the excitement was focused on what was likely happening now in the Castle, and that was a fairly normal thing for the residents of Drodh.

Only when a customer came in looking for potions and talking about Jones the Magma Dragon returning as a Totem did anyone in the shop find out that there was anything going on in the city at all.

"So that’s what you did that let you get a new spell. You helped a Dragon advance to Totem Rank." Dana whispered once the customers were all out of the shop again.

"I claim no knowledge of these events. But aren’t you pleased with the new spell? It will make long journeys so much more comfortable." Karl replied.

Dana smiled. "Did you know that Rae calls it the ’Dana Space’?"

That made Lotus laugh. "That’s a great name for it. But why isn’t it the Lotus Space?"

Dana shrugged. She wasn’t sure why she had been nominated. Was she secretly Rae’s favourite? Did they see her as Karl’s pet? Or did Rae just view her as an equippable item? The possibilities were many and varied.

While the city was freaking out about the new Totem Ranked Dragon in town, the atmosphere at the Darklight Host Guild House was quite relaxed.

Sales had calmed down to a more reasonable rate in the last few weeks, and they could actually keep items in stock now.

With two Commander Rank apprentices, they were doing quite well on standard stock items.

But the Professors from Lared Academy were going to have to return to their school soon, and that would put the Alchemy side in a bind.

The two that were doing Runesmithing were mostly making experimental pieces based on assignments that Karl gave them, but the other two were helping Remi with her day-to-day potion making.

Once they were gone back to their regular jobs, she was going to need new assistants, unless she could convince Little Butterfly to make her some solid illusions to do the grunt work for her.

They wouldn’t be as good as actual Alchemists, but they could do a fair bit of the drudgery. The portioning, cleaning and chopping didn’t need any magical skills at all.

[Should we put up an ad? If people knew that we needed an apprentice, I’m sure they would send us one.] Remi suggested.

[We sell plenty of potions, we should take more than one.] Thor added.

Karl turned to Davis. "It seems that we should look for at least two Alchemy Apprentices. We’re about to lose ours, as they have jobs to return to at the Academy. Without them, Remi will be short-staffed."

The black winged Demon smiled. "I will put up notices both in the shop and at the hiring board looking for them. Would Remi prefer them with or without a trade skill chosen?"

Remi mentally shrugged, which Karl relayed the same way. Davis nodded in understanding. It didn’t really matter, as most of what they were making was still Alchemy potions, just with new recipes.
