The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 864

Over the course of the next week, things began to calm at the Guild House again. The crafters were settling into their new jobs, and with the extra help, they were no longer short on anything, except for Potions.

Remi was finally finishing her trial period to make sure that all of the candidates she had picked were worthy of transferring an advanced skill to, and after the dropout the first day, they had all proven to be exceptionally skilled.

Now, she was ready to have them all advanced, but there was another important event coming up in only a few weeks.

Birthdays.

They had managed to miss one during the time gap after the temple trial, but this year everyone was ready to go all out and celebrate the whole core party’s birthdays at once.

They were all within a month of each other, a result of a lack of other entertainment during the winter months, Karl was certain, so one huge party would be the best option.

The five aspiring Alchemists were gathered in the main room on the second floor for the first time since they arrived. They had been sleeping in the rooms of the building Remi had taken as a lab, as the Naga Queen was known to call them back to work as soon as she had decided that they were rested enough.

With the unchanging light of the illusionary city, they had no idea how long they had been asleep, how long they had been working for the Darklight Host, or anything else.

They were like lost cave dwellers seeing the sun for the first time.

"Boss, let me introduce you to my lab assistants, and the Darklight Host’s applicants for the position of Runic Alchemist. In order, these are Amber, Billie, Charlie, Danni and Emma." Remi announced proudly.

[Seriously?] Karl asked as he realized they were alphabetically organized.

[Pure coincidence, I swear. Lotus picked half of them.] Remi defended.

"So, you have all passed Remi’s tests, have you? Alright. Has she explained what is going to come now?" Karl asked.

The five shook their heads.

"I am going to impart a skill to you, and when you have it, you will understand the basics of Runic Alchemy. With that, you will be able to more effectively help Remi, as well as being able to make functional potions of your own for sale in the shop.

Remi will still be responsible for your education and the plans for production of various products. That is her department, and she knows what everyone needs.

Now, prepare yourselves."

Karl activated [Follow Me, Little One] to transfer the mix of Runecrafting and Remi’s Alchemy skills that would give them [Apprentice Runic Alchemy]. Karl could feel that it was far inferior to what he could actually be giving them, but it had worked out well for the others to get Apprentice Ranked skills.

The four Obsession Demons and one Satyr all jumped in joy when they received the skill, and Rae presented them all with new lab coats as an advancement gift.

The new Alchemists looked around the second floor, and especially at the rooms which had been marked as theirs.
