The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 962

Chapter 962 And Bring It To Light

While the city council had enough trouble on their plate just trying to sort out the issues with the curse, that was far from the only issue that they were going to face that day.

A pounding on the door, along with the sound of someone fighting the guards, turned into an irate Dwarven woman storming into the tavern, dragging a younger Dwarven woman by the hair while a young boy thumped at her back and shouted to let his mother go.

The City Lord went pale, and Rae brought out a bag full of the Guild kitchen's signature caramel popcorn and peanut mix.

"What the hell is going on now?" One of the Councilmen asked.

Karl grabbed a handful of popcorn and pulled Dana into his lap, so she didn't have to look past him to see the show. Then he slid his chair back so that Thor could get a good view as well.

"I will tell you what is happening. When that deadbeat went missing this morning during the chaos, I went looking for him, and what did I find when the Guards tracked him down? His side piece sitting in a room full of priceless gifts that belong in the City Treasury.

The City Accountant is there now to do a full inventory of the house. But if you will excuse us, I need to borrow my husband for a moment." The Dwarven woman explained between kicks to keep the mistress silent.

"Madam, kindly let the young woman speak. It appears that her son is quite distraught." One of the older councillors requested in a flat tone.

Nobody would mistake that as a request, and the City Lord's wife let go of the woman, who immediately crawled to the Lord, while the boy threw himself at the City Lord to hug his leg.

"Daddy, that evil woman is bullying us!" The boy wailed.

The only sound in the room was Rae and Karl munching on popcorn, and then the boy burst into tears as his father failed to respond.

"I believe that we should move this to a private venue." The Lord insisted quietly.

His wife placed her hands on her hips and gave him a challenging look. Despite the four Rank difference in their power levels, Karl suspected that was not a fight he was going to win.

The youngest of the Council Members, a Dwarven Cleric with his blonde hair in small braids tied back in a bunch, burst into laughter. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

"Oh, I don't think that's necessary. We've all figured out what is going on. But your family drama can wait until we get past the important issues. Like how the hell we're going to keep half the city from dying when we remove the curse from the city."

The others sat silently while the City Lord's family stared each other down, and then the Cleric cleared his throat.

"I suppose that we could have every Cleric in town cast a mass resurrection ritual over the whole city. Most of the dead wouldn't even know that anything changed, but I'm not sure how many of them can be saved. Resurrecting the Undead is tricky."

The others understood what he meant without any more detail. If they'd been dead too long, or they had realized they weren't supposed to be alive anymore, using Resurrection would just free them from their undead bodies.

"I don't suppose any of the bystanders have a suggestion?" The City Lord asked, trying to ignore the drama going on in front of him.

Rae raised her hand. "I vote that we teach Supreme Lady Matilda the [Randomize] skill and see what happens when she uses it on the city."

That was one hundred percent a Cara suggestion. But Rae was bored now that there was no more fighting, and it sounded better than letting them argue for hours.

The City Lord frowned. "Do not speak that name aloud. It is against city ordinance."
