The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 959

Chapter 959 Rae Loves Tea

While Rae spied on the intimate lives of the City Lord and his mistress, Karl began to jog towards the city walls.

The farmers were all busy setting up their irrigation equipment so that they could make the most of the influx of water, so they wouldn't have time to stand around and chat, even if Karl had more questions.

On the other hand, the city guard had many questions for him.

"Overlord, a moment of your time, please.

We have been informed that you have some knowledge of the recent events involving a curse on the region, a massive rainstorm, and then the flooding of the irrigation canals." The gate Guard announced as Karl approached.

"Of course. Perhaps I should call out the rest of my group for this. It might be easier if you got the story from everyone's perspective." Karl offered.

In response, Hawk dove from the sky and shrunk himself to land on the wooden fence rail near the side of the road, which confused the Dwarf, as the bird would obviously not be answering any questions.

But when Karl opened the Tiny World, and the ladies stepped out, along with Thor in his humanoid form, plus Cara and Remi, it made much more sense. The bird wasn't there for input, he was just part of the group.

Karl cleared his throat and began. "The people of Barukth asked us to help them out by making it rain. The curse had prevented any regular rain, and greatly limited the amount of water that the locals could create.

But the effect wasn't as strong on new arrivals, and it didn't stop us from creating the storm, which didn't quite reach you, but did drop significant rainfall.

That caused the curse to react, which was the green flames you saw, and the Shamans nullified the curse after it revealed itself.

It is believed that Bomgon was behind the curse. There were some spies captured in Barukth, and they admitted that they were working for Bomgon before suffering a tragic accident.

The flooding of the irrigation canals was a request by local farmers. I granted them a boon in exchange for information, and they wanted water."

The Dwarf shook his head in dismay, then sighed. Flooding all the irrigation canals might have caused some side effects, but he could completely understand why the farmers would pick that as the boon to be granted them by a Cat Demon.

"So, you watched it all happen?" The guard asked, directing the question at Remi.

{Saw it? We did it. All those things, it was us. Well, me and Karl. We're the ones best with water magic.}

The Dwarf made a note on the ledger at the gatehouse and motioned them forward.

"Thank you for your time. Please enter the city, and enjoy your stay in Banar." Karl led the group through the gates, and found that the city of Banar made the city of Barukth look positively pristine and modern. The whole city was filthy, stinking, and crumbling.

How the Dwarves could stand to live with crumbling stone buildings was beyond Karl, but perhaps there was some reason for it.

{Perhaps we should make it rain here, even though the curse has broken.} Remi suggested as they walked through the bustling city streets.

Karl saw a sign for an Inn, and considered getting a room and just leaving the bodyguards in it while they went to the Tiny World. But when they stepped inside, the smell faded, and the interior of the place was clean and well maintained.

Karl wiped his boots clean on the mat, and nodded to the waitress, who gestured towards the mostly open tables.

"This whole city is beautiful." Dana noted as they took their seats.

Lotus nodded in agreement and Ophelia shrugged.

"There's something off about it." Tessa disagreed.

Karl turned to Nachtia, who had a pensive look. "There is an illusion over the city. I don't think it actually looks like this."

She gestured around the room, and Karl shook his head.
