The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1551 Start Copying

They had four Inscriptionists in total among the Elders.

”So, who is going to open it and get us started?” One of the Elders asked.

Everyone hesitated, and Karl sighed. ”I will. I am not an Inscriptionist, but I know the skill, so there is no risk of me activating it.”

Karl used [Reverse Gravity], one of Leoʼs core skills, to flip the cover open, and the Skill book shone with faint golden light as it settled to the first page.

The Elders sighed. The pages were nearly translucent, they were so thin. This was going to be an immense amount of work to copy. But they could copy it, that much was clear.

Even if some of them failed, they could put it in the Skill Library as study material to help acolytes research new skills they werenʼt compatible with the books for.

Given that there were multiple systems in this world, and that they had come not only from multiple mortal and immortal worlds, but also multiple Gods, there was always a chance that not being able to use a skill book did not mean you could not learn the skill.

They all took out their supplies, then realized that there was a minor issue. None of them could agree on what materials were needed to copy the book. They all had different interpretations of the requirements, and none knew which was right.

”Well, we can all make the book, and see what works. Just take notes of the methods so that there are no mistakes when itʼs done the next time.” The Clan Leader suggested.

It was also possible that more than one method would turn out a functional book, given that they all had slightly different skills.

Elder Socrate smiled at Karl and Dana.

”Why donʼt we head out? Theyʼll be at this for ages, and I have work to do back at the Alchemy Hall. The staff were sad to see you finish your time!”

”I should go to the Skill Hall and work on finding something that will help me finish my Immortal Spirit.

Dana has a skill for it, but I donʼt. So, Iʼm going to have to put in the work to finish the process.”

Elder Socrate cleared his throat. ”There are many waiting for you to return and use the Obelisk that you built. Now that youʼve finished your show with the new skill, they all want to see what sort of class you can awaken.”

”Right, we were doing something before we got distracted, werenʼt we? Alright, letʼs head back to the Obelisk, and I will try to get a new Class. Who knows, even the Dana Mage might get something that she likes.”

They made their way out of the Clan Leaderʼs home, much to her dismay, as she now realized that she had to flip the pages herself and risk accidentally triggering the book.

But Socrate hadnʼt been joking about everyone waiting for them to come back. The Immortals had a great deal of patience, and with the promise of another spectacle after Karl had activated his last trump card skill in preparation to advance, none of them wanted to go home yet.

Even Nyan was there, holding Geoff in her arms as the baby dragon napped.

It was worse for him than it was for Brother Chin. He was barely a hatchling, and normally dragon hatchlings slept close to eighteen hours a day.

They woke up, got excited, wore themselves out, and then napped again, in an endless cycle.

There was a lot of hushed betting as they approached, and one of the Elders who was not on the Council came forward with a smile.

”Immortal Karl, if you wouldnʼt mind going first? We have a few wagers on how your progression will go.”

”Of course. Elder Socrate was quite insistent that I return here to settle the matter of what class I might get, now that Iʼve used the final hidden skill of my mortal class.

It was a bit flashier than expected, but the outcome was exceptional.” Karl agreed.

”What happened with the skill?”

”The inscription Elders are working on duplicating it now. They will be announcing it soon, but I suspect that they will want to make it the Clanʼs signature skill for traders.

Though, those of you who are training as guards will find it useful as well. Call it a pay bonus and secret buff.”

The ones who had seen the description of the skill laughed at the thought of calling it a ”Pay Bonus”. It was a straight-up cheat code.

You could accompany a powerful merchant, buy a bit of what he didnʼt want, and then upgrade the quality to make a fortune. It might actually be more profitable to work as a Merchantʼs assistant, building goodwill by buying up the lower quality items, than the actual merchant was.

They could rely on the power of a strong Ascendant or Peak Immortal, use his transportation, and protection. All while supplementing their income with the Clanʼs Hidden Skill.

It was diabolical, but not against any rule that they were aware of.

”Will Dana be getting a new Class as well?” One of the ladies asked.

”Probably? Sheʼs gotten some great skills since advancing, so she should qualify for a better option now that weʼre in the Immortal Worlds. I would say, her skills are already pretty amazing.

But if it gives her something even better, I wonʼt complain.”

The mage laughed at Karlʼs ʼKept Manʼ act, when they knew that he was insanely powerful for his development level. But he wasnʼt wrong about how

skilled Dana was.

He had raw brute power, but she had insane blade skills.

”We will start another betting pool. Do we have all the basics covered?” She

asked.

One of the Immortals held up a bag. ”I think so. Weʼve got all the major bets covered for Karl. You can start the collection for Danaʼs attempt.”

The Immortals cheered, and Karl wondered if betting on advancements and challenges was a universal pastime, or if the Immortals were actually quite

bored.
