The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1149: No More Warriors Initiative

The celebration for the tanks grew by the minute, until it not only filled the main and top floors of the house, but also the garden, the street outside, and many of the nearby yards.

That was excellent news to Sapphire, as she had received so many more volunteers to test her class advancement theories and provide research data that could be presented to the church.

The larger the sample size, the better. Especially if they were at multiple Ranks.

It would be a lot of work to make all those skill books, and she couldn’t ask for Karl to do all the skill transfers, as that would mess up the data. But she had patience.

Probably more patience than the hundred warriors who were eager to become crusaders and find out what life was like as more than a basic warrior.

[Holy Blast] really would be the best spell to try to trigger the advancement. Sensing truth was also one of the signature skills of a Crusader. But if she gave that to them instead, there was no telling if they would end up as an infiltration specialized class, or if it would advance them at all.

However, giving them holy magic certainly would.

Today had saved her days of work gathering a suitable group of volunteers, even if these were more powerful volunteers than they had been planning to use at the start.

The party was in full swing when Karl got a message from Wendy at the Drodh Guild House.

[Mister Karl? There is a large group of strange people here to see you. They say that the Governor sent them.]

Right, they were still waiting for the gardeners.

Constantly adding more people like this was too much hassle, and Karl was glad that it was almost over. At least he had gotten the Tiny World ready for their arrival, even if he was still working to optimize the Fundamental Rules in the space.

He should be able to continue that after they were there, it was just the expansion of the space that he really needed to do in advance.

”Guild Masters, if you will excuse me for a moment, I need to go pick up a few more workers for the Guild, and then I will return once they are settled in.” Karl explained.

Hugo smiled and nodded. ”We can sort out the chaos with the Overlords later. I suspect that Lady Sapphire will be willing to help us over the next few days so that we can get better damage dealers on the main Overlord Ranked team.”

Karl shook his hand and then went downstairs to use the portal instead of opening a new one to go to the Guild House.

What he found when he arrived was certainly not what he expected.

He had been told that they were nature lovers who lived in a temple, and that they didn’t get along well with the towns in their area. But he hadn’t expected this.

The group was a mix of beastkin, dragons, demons and Elves. But they were all wearing next to nothing, and what they did have on was basic tanned hide or rough cloth.

”How about we move this to a new location? It will help me explain.” Karl suggested, then opened the Tiny World’s entrance for them.

The Elf in the lead bowed politely, and then led her group through.

That was when Karl noticed the real oddity. There were no men.

He had been convinced to take in even more random women.

Was he told about this?

Probably.

He must have just forgotten who they were sending.

”Alright, we might as well start the introduction here.

These fields are all magical plants for the Alchemists. Right now, I’ve been using illusionary workers to do the gardening, but that’s not optimal. To my left are the swamps, also home to many magical plants, and three species of fish.

They help balance the ecosystem, so try not to overfish them or let them overpopulate the swamp.

To my right is the lake, again, more fish, and the bottom of the lake has been optimized to grow water element magical crystals.

There is an empty village within the mountain range over there, and that house is a replica of the Guild House that we just came from. I don’t know where you prefer to stay, but there is currently nobody else in here.

The Alchemy rooms in the Guild House get regular use, as well as the dragon perches on the mountain. There should be more than enough for everyone, no need to fight for a spot to rest.

Now, ask any immediate questions you have, and I will try to answer them.”

”All of this is free for us to wander? Like, there are no off limits areas?” The Elf who was leading the group asked.

”Yes, it’s all free for you to explore, live on, maintain. In fact, visiting most of it will be a necessary part of your employment, as we’ve planted magical resources everywhere.

Just don’t mess with things that others have left here. The training grounds can be changed for use, but don’t destroy the equipment left behind.

The same with rooms in the Guild House. Pick any empty room, don’t mess with other people’s stuff.

There is an Alchemy room through the Library, in the hidden city area. It’s best not to mess with that at all. Alchemy is a precise process, and Remi will not be happy if someone ruins a potion in progress.” Karl explained.

”So the rule is basically just ’be good neighbours’. Are any of the others prudish?”

Karl shook his head. ”Not particularly. There are a few dragon clerics, and some magical beasts. Remi, the alchemist, is a Naga Queen. But none of them are particularly prudish or strict about rules.”

The Elf looked around, her eyes glowing with some sort of spell, and then turned to her group.

”What do you think? Is this suitable?” She asked.

One by one, they nodded.

”This place is good. It’s got plenty of farmland, everything else that we need, and he said that we can do what we want as long as we don’t bother anyone or let the magical crops wither.”

That made some of them laugh. They were mostly Nature Goddess aligned Druids or Witches, and more than capable of taking care of the crops and the wilderness.

”You have a deal, Guild Master.” The Elf agreed.

Suddenly, one of the dragons transformed, revealing a shaggy green leaf covered body. A forest Dragon, Karl realized. He hadn’t seen one of them in ages.

But she was already gone, flying off to go splash in the lake.

”Thank you for your kindness, Guild Leader. We will assess the state of all the crops and make sure that everything is perfect.” The Elf explained.

That seemed like a dismissal to Karl, and he turned to leave while the druids began to argue about who got to go to the best areas first, and whether they should opt for indoor rooms or set up an outdoor camp.

”Wait, before you leave, does it rain here? This place feels like a separate space.” The Elf asked.

Karl nodded. ”I have set up day and night cycles, as well as weather. It rains one day a week, but the humidity is much higher around the swamp, and the temperatures aren’t the same everywhere.”
