The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1080: It’s a Rae Day

A tinkling chime from upstairs informed everyone that the play was ready, and the guests started to filter up the stairs.

Only a few stragglers were left, but Karl waited downstairs for the final guests, who were coming from their own Guild Houses nearby.

While he waited, Karl made a few trinkets with [Beast Form] on it. Those ones seemed much easier to make than most spells, perhaps a side effect of his class, or possibly the favour of the Beast Gods, as he was visually turning people into beastkin.

The spell was also remarkably simple to write, compared to most other illusion and transformation type spells.

So, when Six new Mythic Rank visitors entered together, he had the spells ready, and the armour still waiting on the table for the Rogues.

There were three Rogues, but only two women, who would hopefully be suitable for Rae’s fashion. The male Beastkin Rogue was more interested in Karl, staring at him as if he would see through the disguise if he just looked hard enough.

“It’s a physical transformation, not an illusion. If you have [Nullify] or [Dispel] you could probably force me back to my natural form. But you can’t see through Beast Form.” Karl offered.

The man smiled and adjusted his hat as small round ears shifted it out of position.

“How much for the token? Even if I’m not impressed with the armour, I want one.” He asked.

Karl laughed, and tossed him the amulet. “On the house. The Beast Gods want you to have it.”

Technically, it was Karl who thought it would be entertaining, but that was the same thing, really.

The Rogue caught the token, and transformed, turning fully furred, with a badger’s head. But not all black with white on the back like Cara. It was more brown, with white and black stripes.

“Oh, Grizzly Badger. Good choice.” Karl realized.

The Rogue laughed as he moved to inspect the armour, then his hands, then his companions.

“I shrunk. The world looks different from down here.” He realized.

His Guild Master, a Mythic Ranked Paladin named Alfred, patted him on the shoulder. “Well, there are no more concerns about you being able to sneak through small spaces.”

“Or about him looking down into our cleavage constantly. He’s not tall enough anymore.” One of the female Rogues joked.

The badger rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the demonstration set of armour, then to the female sets.

“What is with this bias? There are multiple skills on those, but none on this.” He asked.

Karl chuckled. “Lady Rae prefers women’s fashion. But that set was the demo model for the Totems. We can make you a set equal to the female sets, it will just take a few days.”

The Rogue who had been teasing him about perving on her picked up one of the others, a bodysuit with many pockets.

“I don’t see a restriction on it, so technically, you could wear this one. It would just be a bit sexier than you’re used to.”

Karl noticed that she wasn’t putting it down, though.

It was the set with [Sharpness] and [Shatter] on it, and stats for maximum damage output.

“I love it. How painful is this going to be for my pocketbook?” She asked, already sounding pained at the thought.

“As guests of the Alliance, I will cut you a discount, the same as the other Myths got. Three weights of the item in Totem Ranked raw materials, or Mythic items and materials of equivalent value.” Karl offered.

Deve nodded. That was what he had charged the others, though only the Warrior who had been rude about the Idol dress had to pay the three weights price.

The Mythic Rogue took out handfuls of treasure with an extremely reluctant look on her face that reminded Karl of Cara. It seemed that the reluctance to part with treasures was not exclusively a Badger Species trait.

Karl also noted that the badger thought he was being smart as he picked up the Totem Ranked demonstration armour and took out Totem Ranked metals and leathers, which were the heaviest of resources that he could pick, reducing the cost of his loss.

But he had not realized that as a crafting Guild, the Darklight Host was just going to turn that into more gear and sell that new gear for the same price.

Their warehouse floor was going to suffer.

Speaking of which, there was a warehouse attached to the manor, and marked for their use. So, they could load it up with all the loot they got here, once Karl figured out how to link it as a Guild Warehouse so that others could actually get the materials back out.

While the Badger Rogue was counting out his materials, the bodysuit had been equipped, and his Guild mate was checking herself out in the mirror, admiring how it hugged her curves just right and gave that extra bit of lift to carefully control sag and bounce when she moved.

“Lady Rae is a genius. She really does know what it takes to show off.” She giggled.

Rae nodded happily. “It is important to make a dramatic entrance when you face an enemy. If not, how will everyone else remember that you can kill them?”

That made the Myths all laugh. Even for a Blood Destruction Demonic Spider, Lady Rae was particularly bloodthirsty even when she was in a good mood.

The third Rogue came to inspect the armour set out for her and smiled. “Did you make the armour for us, or choose us to visit because you had the armour?”

“The second one.” Karl agreed.

“The advanced Class that I got specializes in poison-based damage over time effects. So, [Perfect Disguise] and [Life Steal] with maximum bonus poison damage is practically my dream wishlist.

This armour alone will nearly double my damage output, and the amount of healing that I will gain might make our Cleric cry tears of joy.”

Her guild Master laughed. “That’s because you keep getting hit when you push for an extra stack of damage. If you’d just back off one step earlier, he wouldn’t hate you so much.”

The two ladies stared at each other for a second, then sighed and began stacking Mythic resources on the counter.

“That should be the value equivalent of three times the weight in Totem Resources.” The poison specialist declared.

Karl nodded in satisfaction. It was close enough, and he didn’t know the local prices. In Drodh, it was far more than equal.

Karl clapped his hands once in satisfaction. “Wonderful. Now, would you like to join us for a show? Our Guild’s Glasswing Butterfly is putting on a retelling of a Guild Challenge Duel tonight, for the ranking members of the Alliance and their guests.”
