The First Legendary Beast Master - Chapter 1461

Chapter 1461: Good Turnout
Karl was highly satisfied with the turnout once they set up their stall in what appeared to be an empty former furniture store.

There were still pricing signs for sofas and beds hung on the walls, but the store itself was empty, so Karl had set out cabinets from the Guild storage to create a proper store for customers to come visit.

“You know we’re only here for the day, right?” Prince Nathan asked as Karl finished decorating.

“It will all clean up in seconds, since I’m just putting it back in inventory. They don’t have an open air market here, apparently, and this is what they found for us to set up shop.

We will just sell what the locals need for a few hours, and then call it a night.

One fight a day, cleaning up the leftover monsters across the islands, should be more than enough work for the King to accept that we’re not slacking.” Karl joked.

Prince Nathan laughed. If one major battle a day was the standard for ‘not slacking’, what was the rest of the world doing? Was that not called overworking yourself?

But he didn’t say that out loud. Instead, he took a moment to consider what the motivation behind the Darklight Host wanting to fight so much and in so many places might be.

Some of the answer was obviously to get materials for their crafting, and that was an honourable enough endeavour.

However, he didn’t think that was the primary reason.

“Do you always fight that much?” He asked carefully.

“Well, not all of us. I have to spend most of my time crafting or meeting with people. However, Lady Rae certainly loves to be a dungeon, and every raid team needs Golem Mages and healers, so it’s a bit hard for the ladies to escape.” Karl agreed.

“Plus, they’re a little bit bloodthirsty. Thor and I, we’re the peaceful and gentle ones, you see. The ladies are the ones to watch out for. Even Lotus. Don’t underestimate the level of ferocity that a tiny Green Dragon Priestess can exhibit if someone steals her snacks or her cuddle bear.”

Remi laughed, while Prince Nathan looked bemused.

“She still sleeps with a stuffed toy?”

“No, her cuddle bear is her girlfriend Ophelia. The Werebear Berserker. I believe that you met her earlier?”

Nathan nodded. “I see now.”

He didn’t. But two seconds later, he did. And the expression of realization that he made was enough to make Rae laugh out loud.

“Let’s call in the shoppers so that they don’t cry at the delay.

I’ve got everything that we need on display, and in a full array of colour themes.”

Remi had an assortment of potions out as well, but Karl was somewhat limited in what he could put out, as they didn’t have much Mythic gear to begin with, and the last stop had purchased everything that he put out.

He was really going to have to take some time to make more.

Fortunately, there were Totem and Overlord Ranked weapons in abundance, and those were always the second best in sales, next to accessories.

Shoppers flooded into the store when one of the dragons of the local guard unlocked the door, giving Karl just enough time to start his sales pitch.

“No fighting or cutting in line, or you will be refused service. Please form one line along the left, but feel free to pass by stands that don’t have what you need.

From your left to right, we have Alchemical goods, Runecrafted Equipment and fashion, which includes leather armour.”

He had to include that, since people didn’t realize it was an option last time.

The crowd surged forward, and the concept of “lines” basically vanished as they crowded every side of the tables, but there were barriers over the potions and Runecrafted goods, so that nobody accidentally injured themselves.

“Guild Leader, what is this green stone? The label says it’s a fertility charm, but it appears to be Monarch Ranked.” One of the locals asked.

“That’s right. It’s a Monarch Ranked fertility charm.

We sell many of them to matchmakers and midwives. The activation has two functions. One helps ‘encourage’ successful procreation, the other grants a healing buff and divine blessing for childbirth.

They are not inexpensive, but they work.”

The man looked skeptical, but an old woman reached out to inspect it. Karl picked it up, moving it through the barrier so she could properly inspect it.

“Made by a Monarch Ranked Druid, and a lower level Sculptor? I don’t know these runes, but it’s definitely druidic healing magic in this nature stone.

Just how effective is this stone?” She asked.

“Would you like to have children? We can make that happen.” Karl asked.

The old lady laughed. “That sounds about right for a Mythic Ranked fertility charm, but I get your point. If there is a chance, this should nearly guarantee it. How is the birthing side of the charm?”

“It should create a Druidic healing spell at Monarch Rank for as long as it’s active. So, with the help of a midwife, it should keep most births safe.”

“I will take it.”

She handed Karl a sack of coins, and then another old woman in robes that were more patches and repairs than original cloth also handed him a sack of elemental stones.

“I need one of those as strong as you’ve got. For reasons.” She whispered, her voice betraying her, as it was much younger than the elderly appearance that she was using.

Karl looked in the bag, and handed her a Totem Ranked fertility charm.

The young woman cackled with joy, and Karl felt a hint of Divine magic on her, as if he had done something that pleased her god. Only, he could tell that she was not a nature related cleric at all.

She began forcing her way through the crowd when the midwife recovered from her joyful inspection of her purchase and grabbed her by the robes.

“Oh no, you don’t. I’m not letting a servant of the Laughing God run off with a fertility charm.” The old lady wheezed, but the young woman just laughed as she let her disguise fade and the robe pull off her shoulders.

That left her topless in the store while she ran out, then opened a portal to vanish from sight.

[Cara will be mad she missed that.] Rae joked.

[I’m watching. This is going to be awesome.]
