The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1178: Can’t Leave The House Empty

Karl took Dana to the Guild House first, where he created a low stone wall outside the barrier all around the property, as the old one had disintegrated centuries ago, and was currently just a rubble pile in a few spots.

Then, he used Royal Rank Nature Stones to make healing totems at all four corners of the property, with the gems buried deep in the wall using [Earth Manipulation].

[You should add Gargoyles. Oh, and a maid. Orthos would like a maid. We have plenty of stones from the clothing sales.] Tian suggested.

The little fox wasn’t wrong. They had hundreds of Overlord Rank and higher elemental stones available, and even more if they opened a portal so they could access the Guild Bank.

”You look like you’re talking to someone.” Dana asked.

”Tian thinks that we should leave some staff members at the Guild House for Orthos. Perhaps an illusionary cleaning staff and some Gargoyles.”

Dana smiled. ”What about an upgraded spell? You have a skill that’s letting you blend other skills to make some of the strange abilities that your team has, right? What if I give you Greater Golem? Could you make better staff members?”

Karl smiled. ”I think that I could. Greater Golems and Gargoyles should make Greater Gargoyles if my guess is right. And the original Gargoyles are already pretty good.”

Dana handed him a skill book with a smile, and in his mind, Tian laughed.

[Rae will be so excited about those.] He cheered.

Karl focused on trying to combine [Greater Golem] and [Gargoyle], but the result was not what he expected.

Instead of [Greater Gargoyle], he got [Epic Golem].

{Champion Karl offers Knowledge} Skill [Epic Golem] will be transferred to his lovely Dana Mage.

”That’s not what I expected. What does it even summon?” Dana asked.

”I have absolutely no idea.” Karl replied with a shrug.

”We probably shouldn’t test this within the city.” Dana realized.

”Yeah, that’s the smart move. I will put Gargoyles in the Guild House, and an illusionary staff member spell. Orthos will know how to properly operate them.” Karl agreed.

Gargoyles took some time to engrave into the backside of the new wall, but the solid illusion was created by Opal in a matter of seconds. She had all those slices of low-grade Illusion stone, and if they were just making maids, they didn’t need to be powerful.

Just a bunch of Ascended Rank bunnies in maid dresses would be enough to keep the house in working order and the guests entertained.

Nobody didn’t like bunnies.

Karl laughed as he made them a bunch of cleaning rings so that they could more effectively maintain the house, and then gave them their first orders to keep the place clean and host authorized guests, or inform the Gargoyles of unauthorized ones.

”Bunnies?” Dana asked as the new staff ran into the house to get to work.

”Opal made them. Everyone likes bunnies.” Karl explained with a smirk.

”Yes, that is part of the problem. You know how Orthos feels about strangers with muddy feet in his space.” Dana reminded him.

Cara had told everyone the story of the first time that she had been in a Beast God Temple. In a way that made her seem innocent, naturally. And certainly not like she had tracked muddy footprints across the roof just to see if they would chase her.

Cara nodded in agreement, while laying on her back in the Lich Lord’s sarcophagus, which was now loaded with gold coins to make the interior into a badger shaped recliner.

The Gargoyles were active now, looking like traditional gargoyles, and Karl decided to call the Guild House finished.

It had healing, guards, and cleaners. Orthos could take care of the rest.

With the Guild House finished, they moved on to the nearest fountain. They were slowly gathering spectators as they walked, due mostly to the quality of the outfits that they were wearing.

It wasn’t their fanciest, but it was still more than enough to stand out. Coupled with the obvious power level of the pair of strangers and all the changes made to the city, the residents of Bunga had questions that needed answers.

”Sir, might I ask, do you know what is happening in the city? So many new buildings went up, now there are fountains, and fresh clean water, and new guards scaring the children.” An old dragonkin woman pleaded.

”It’s not that scary. The guards are just there to keep everyone safe. They will help stop thefts, catch criminals, and stop unwanted violence.” Karl offered.

”Who would want violence... no, you mean fights between Demons and Orcs, right? Those are against Clan rules.” The old woman replied.

Karl nodded. ”But the guards will only stop them if they are going to break something. If they both want to fight, the new guards will let them. They are a relic of the last System Resurgence, brought back to enforce city rules.

The ancient City Lord has returned, and he is starting to bring all the functions of the city back online.”

The old woman smiled. ”So, the System is real?”

Dana smiled and patted the woman on the shoulder. ”Indeed it is. Soon the young ones will start awakening system classes, and the city will return to the state it was in during its peak.”

”What is it you’re doing now? Your friend is doing something to the fountain, but we already checked, it’s clean water.” The old woman asked Dana as Karl got to work.

”He’s got a rare skill, he’s going to create a healing effect around the fountain, so that everyone who comes to get water is also healed of injuries and illnesses.

If everyone comes by every few days, their health will constantly get better.

Once he finishes this one, we will go to the other ones in the city.” Dana explained.

The old dragonkin woman seemed completely unconvinced by Dana’s words until the first pulse of the spell covered the area, and she gasped, then shifted her weight and shook her leg.

”The knee pain faded. It’s really gone!” She mumbled.

”See, just keep standing here. The pulses are some time apart, but just standing near the fountain for a while should have you feeling better in no time.

Now, it’s time for us to head out and do the other fountains so that everyone can get the benefit.” Dana informed her with a wave, before rejoining Karl to walk through the stunned crowd of onlookers.
