The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 884

Ashbringer was in such a good mood that the flames on his head were dancing as he worked to sort the ores.

The happy singing was enough to bring the off-duty guards who were having a smoke break on the bench over to see what was going on in the workshop. If they didn’t want to be disturbed, they closed the door. But today it was wide open, and Ashbringer was clearly singing, which he never did.

"Oh, someone got a whole shipment of ore in. That’s quite the haul, Ashy." One of the guards joked.

Ashbringer winked at the female wrath Demoness and went back to sorting the pile.

"Overlord Karl went to the dungeon in Bara and managed tonvince a group to give him the whole ore haul from their run. I’ve got enough loot here to keep the ladies dripping with priceless treasures for years tome."

The Guard laughed at his response. "Since when have you ever paid any attention to the ladies? The only ladies you even talk to are the sculptors who work here with you, and they’re all too young for you."

It was clear that she was attempting to flirt, but Ashbringer was still more interested in his new pile of ore, and the Guard was snd, or possibly third, on his priority list. That was no change for him, though. The ladies had alwaysme well behind the forge on his list of priorities.

"So, does that mean that we canmmission some Overlord Ranked metal items now? Assuming that we can afford them, that is." One of the other guards asked.

Ashbringer nodded. "Custom orders are weme. Master Crafted, Runecrafted, both. Prices will vary, but we can make you anything you like."

The Guard smiled, and Karl knew that they would have a wealthy merchant or District Overseer by to see them soon. The guards’ equipment came from the city, and didn’t belong to them until theirntract terms were over. The weapons and armour were worth years of their salary, so if they quit the guard early, they had to repay thest of the bonded items.

It was great for retention, and gave the city a good reason to put a bounty on former guards who ran off with their gear.

They were both getting settled in for the day’s work when the stomping of multiple boots caught Karl’s attention. That was a lot of customers at once, and Karl assumed that it was most likely some local merchant groupming to look for a custom order.

So, he finished the [Flooding Canals] Overlord Ranked charm statue he was working on and went out to greet them.

Only, it was not a local merchant, but Shaman Petros and a whole group of Dwarves.

"Lord Petros, it’s a pleasure to have you here at my Guild House again. Pleaseme in, what can I help you with today?" Karl greeted them.

"What is that in your hand?" The shaman asked, staring intently at the statue Karl had not set down when he finished.

"Oh, the statue has a spell effect for flooded canals. We had some requests from farmers for help with water shortages in the irrigation system for the rice fields. This will create a steady flood of water when activated, and should be enough to fill a wholeunty’s canal system."

It would create a whole minute worth of flow from a kilometre wide river, as it was based on the [Thousand Year Flood] skill. But spread out over an hour, so it didn’t actually flood the entire region.

Shaman Petros held out his hand, and Karl passed him the statue, which was shaped like a smiling Remi, but made from white and red mana jade at the Monarch Rank.

"This is incredible. That has to be based on Shamanistic water magic, right?" He asked.
