The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 856

The next morning, the four professors had to return to the Lared Academy. The departures left the Guild House feeling oddly empty, even with the five new additions, who Tessa was teaching basic writing lessons that morning.

It was an oversight in the selection process.

While they were all hard workers, and smart, none of them had attended a formal school, and their grasp of both the Demonic and Human Common languages were shaky at best.

They could read the textbook, but mostly by word recognition, and that simply would not do.

But the Red Dragon Clerics were good at taking care of kids of all sorts, even if their specialty was war orphans. So, she had brought out her old lesson books, and began teaching them more of the human common language this morning, as that was what most of the textbooks were written in.

How and when that language had spread across the world was a mystery to Karl, but it seemed that for textbooks, it was still the standard.

He had a suspicion that he might know the answer, though. The Common language was the one that Dragons chose to speak in humanoid form, as so few other species could speak Serpent, which didn’t have a written language at all, other than the old magical runes.

So, as this was called the Dragon Isles, they had most likely maintained it as their language here, and the humans were the ones getting presumptuous by claiming it as their own common tongue.

Karl was sitting on the porch, enjoying the early morning light and the smell of dew on the grass, when the first visitor of the morning came into the yard.

A ragged looking catgirl, mostly human, but with ears in the same white with black stripes as his bestial form, crept through the gate and then flopped down in the grass with a sigh of relief as the healing spell pulsed from the altar in the backyard.

Karl looked out toward the city gates, and caught the eye of a guard, who gestured toward the city, indicating that she hadn’t come from the outside to see him.

It was still a bit cool outside to be wearing a tattered tunic as an outfit, so Karl brought over one of the knitted blankets Rae had made in a spiderweb pattern, and wrapped up the sleeping beastkin, then moved her to the other porch swing in the sun.

They were still there, on opposite benches, when the first customers of the morning came.

A pair of Wrath Demons with a group of six Orcish warriors behind them came into the yard, where the Orcs promptly began fighting over who got to fill their canteens from the well first.

The Demons looked like they were going to apologize, but Karl just laughed and waved them inside. Enjoy new adventures from freewebnovel

"Appraiser Davis isn’t in yet, but Mick can help you with anything you would like." He informed the duo.

"Actually, we wanted to make a custom order for our next trip. You see, we’re going around the southern tip to see the Orc King in Ghedg, and the Orcs lack most sorts of advanced crafting.

We wanted to bring them an assortment of magical items, but they can’t be combat related in any way." The larger of the two Wrath Demons explained.
