The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1373 Azov Was Married?

With Librarian Barryʼs suggestion, they gathered a dozen more tutors to come watch Karl work on the new training room.

”Why are we going to watch a construction team?” One of the later arrivals asked.

”Dunno. Barry says we need to see it.” Another replied.

Karl smirked at Dakkarian, who shook his head in dismay.

”The World Dragon thinks this is funny, doesnʼt he? I have long theorized that the system is one grand, epic prank on the world, and we all just missed the point.” The black dragon Avatar asked.

Karl shrugged. ”I donʼt know if I would call the system itself a prank, but it definitely loves playing pranks on people. Have you ever met someone who chose the [Randomize] option when given it?”

”Randomize?”

Karl nodded. ”Sometimes, when you activate your system class, and you qualify for more than one option, or when you are being given a class upgrade from a trial ground or other system reward, it will give you the option to randomize. But you must be very sure to read WHAT it is asking to randomize. I have seen it turn a young soldier into the most lustrously furry Worgen woman. They chose to randomize at a set of System Stones in a trial instance, and it randomized everything from their new class to their hair colour, gender and species.”

”That is... terrifying” Dakkarian replied, but Karl could see that he was trying not to laugh.

Librarian Barry turned to them with an excited look. ”Oh, like the story of Queen David.”

”Queen David?” Karl asked.

The blue dragon nodded eagerly, happy to get to tell the story. ”David was a mighty Dwarven Warrior, once known as the Dragon Slayer of Shumunz. During his adventures, he tracked an evil dragon into a trial ground near lake Vupjess in Cyhosasa.

Mighty as he was, the trial ground was no challenge to him, and upon his victory, he was given two choices.

One choice was to surpass the mortal bonds and ascend to Immortality, but it demanded a price. Never again could he set foot in the mortal world.

The second option was one that none had seen before. The System asked him if he would like to randomize his reward. Now, the hero was no fool, and he extracted a promise from the System before he chose.

The trial ground promised him that there were no outcomes that would weaken him.

So, he chose to randomize.

And the system played a joke on him so cruel that none could have ever expected it.

The reward that he was granted was ultimate political power. For a moment, he rejoiced. He believed that now, he could finally change the laws of the lands to punish the rogue dragons and other evil creatures who plagued the Dwarves. But how it was done was the problem.

In one moment, he was a mighty Dwarven Warrior, stout and proud. And in the next moment, he was an adolescent white dragoness, standing as the blushing bride to the Immortal Regent of the Dragon Isles.

While the Immortal Regent was also confused by the situation, the System declared them husband and wife, and David the Dragon Slayer became David the Dragon Bride of the Immortal Regent.”

Karl laughed so loud that it echoed through the hallways. ”Wait, you mean AZOV was married to a white dragon girl by the system? Oh, I am not letting him skate by without telling this story the next time I see him.”

Karl stopped as he realized nobody else was following him.

”You... know the Immortal Regent?” Dakkarian asked.

”Of course I do. Heʼs known the Supreme Lady for longer than Iʼve been alive, and she likes to drag him to important events.” Karl explained.

”Itʼs a fairytale. Heʼs not supposed to be a real, living person.” One of the tutors noted.

Karl shook his head. ”He might wish he was imaginary now that Iʼve found out that he got married and never introduced me to his wife. This is the sort of fully brewed tea that I need.”

In his mind, Cara cheered for gossip time. [Opal is never going to forgive us for leaving her behind. Do you know how much she loves romance stories with a wild twist?]

”How does the story end, anyhow?” Dakkarian asked.

”Supposedly, the Immortal Regentʼs Queen ascended to Immortality and left him behind to pursue power. Itʼs not the same legend, but the story of his heartbreak is also told by many bards as a cautionary allegory about pursuing ambitious women.” Librarian Barry noted.

Dakkarian smiled. ”You know, if you assume that both stories are true, it really tells a different story when you put them together.”

Karl nodded. ”It raises so many questions. Did the Queen ever change forms again? Does becoming a white dragon come with the level of devotion to the white goddess as being born one does? Was David as adorable in human form as most young white dragons are?”

Dakkarian raised a hand. ”Wait, back up. One of those questions does not belong.”

Karl shrugged. ”Cara needed to know. Young white dragons in humanoid form usually have shockingly white hair and delicate features, almost like Faeries or Elves.”

Cara nodded eagerly. She was taking notes.

The Librarian pinched the bridge of his nose. ”I donʼt know, and I really donʼt want to know. Thinking of someone known as Dragon Slayer as an adorable new bride is just disturbing”

”Havenʼt you met Cara? Small and adorable doesnʼt mean that they are not deadly.” Karl noted.

The blue dragon smiled. ”That scar makes her much more scary than the rest of her transformed appearance suggests. But I can see how the dichotomy would terrify people before she had it.”

”Right, you never met her before she had the scars. Sheʼs still an adorable badger even with them, though. Itʼs mostly just the mythic rank aura that scares people. But you get what I mean.” Karl shrugged.

One of the tutors laughed. ”No, I think the scary part is the whole ʼthatʼs a chaos badgerʼ part, not her appearance or aura.”

The others nodded in agreement. That was definitely the scary part. Even if the young ones didnʼt realize the true danger.
