The First Legendary Beast Master-Chapter 841: Task Successful
Karl discretely went over to inform the younger Dryad that there was work waiting for her at home before checking on the rest of the people at the Guild House.
The assigned tasks for the teachers from Lared had been a stunning success. Not only had they managed to find an inscription that would increase the ability of a trade skill by over thirty percent, they had managed to find one that would improve any trade skill that the wearer had.
It wasn’t a flat thirty percent improvement in all aspects, but a thirty percent chance of creating a higher quality item, which was even more impressive in some ways than just increasing the chance of success or the maximum capacity of the items created by the skill.
Thirty percent more than low Overlord was still an Overlord Ranked item. But an Epic Overlord Ranked item versus a Rare Quality Overlord Ranked item were worlds apart.
"That is excellent work. If we combine this with a few other Runes, we should be able to reliably produce enhancement items for crafting professions." Karl noted.
The four teachers smiled. "There is only one problem with that. Take a look at the items that we made."
Karl inspected them again. "I don’t see the issue. One made by each of the four of you, at Royal Rank, though you used Monarch Rank Mana Jade, which is a bit of a waste."
Moira nodded. "That’s the problem. We couldn’t bring them up to more than Royal Rank, and they bonded to the creator the moment that they were crafted.
You can’t sell these, they appear to be an exclusive item for Runic Craftsmen."
Karl sighed. "Well, that is a bit of an issue. But they’re going to be remarkably useful for the four of you, and the others as well. But we need to work on getting Loros to the Commander Rank first."
Loros cleared her throat, but Karl patted her on the head. "I know you’ve got it in you, despite the bloodline limitations. A few trips to the Dungeon should help you grow, and you’ll be able to say that you experienced the dungeon in all its glory.
How many others at your power level can say that?"
Loros frowned. "None that have working brain cells. Well, maybe one. I seem to recall that the little Gecko’s father threw her into the dungeon once to work as a cleanup helper for a four-person group. She didn’t die, but nobody saw her for weeks after that."
Karl extended his senses to see how the little lizardfolk cleaner was doing, and found her in the backyard, hanging laundry on the line with Caretaker Jo.
The pair of them had become quite adept at moving around the house without being seen or heard. They were almost part of the furniture. Always there, never in the way.
Except when Lotus was bored.
The gecko girl was one of the few people her size, and she loved having others to play with who weren’t taller. But Wendy was always busy, and Caretaker Jo was too kindhearted to complain that her assistant had been stolen.
Wendy was more optimistic. "Do you really think that going in the Dungeon would do something useful? I might only be a Commander Rank Mage, but I could surely do something useful."
Karl thought about that for a moment. "That’s right. You’re a mage. There is no reason that I can’t teach you mage type skills. With a few combat spells, you should be relatively safe to accompany them, even though the standard mobs are a full Rank above you."
The Oni Demon smiled at the idea. Her brothers would have never let her anywhere near the Dungeon, much less inside it.
She was only just beginning to realize how reliant she was on others. Even at work, she usually waited for Loros to tell her what they were making, and did that until they changed tasks.
Then she would catch herself just mindlessly doing what she was told, like the ’Wendy Doll’ that the System had called her when she got her Runesmithing skill.
She wanted to be more than that, but it was such an ingrained habit that it was hard to break free of.
"You know, we could spend the rest of the day making store items, and then go tomorrow. If we went with Remi and Thor or Remi and Dana, we should be safe enough and able to do the whole dungeon." Wendy suggested.
All the golems seemed like the best idea.
Karl nodded. "I don’t see why not, as long as they agree. And why don’t I teach you some new spells as well?"

Wendy nodded, and then went to stand under Karl’s hand. She was still under the impression that the head pats were part of the skill and not just because Karl enjoyed it.
Dana resisted the urge to laugh, and Thor chuckled at her enthusiasm. The little Oni Demon knew what was important in life.
{Pack Master Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Golem] will be transferred to the precious Wendy Doll.
{Pack Master Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Chain Lightning] will be transferred to the precious Wendy Doll.
Karl realized that he didn’t actually know a suitable barrier spell for mages, but Wendy didn’t have any problem with Chain Lightning, so he tried the next best thing.
{Pack Master Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Refreshing Lightning Barrier] will be transferred to the precious Wendy Doll.
It actually worked. Perhaps Demons with an appropriate Elemental affinity were easier to transfer Beast type skills to?
Wendy giggled, and her eyes glowed blue as she activated [Refreshing Lightning].
"I am all that is Lightning!"
Thor came out of his space in human form to hug the girl and pat her head.

"Excellent work. That was my first skill ever, and not many people can use it." He explained.
"Oh? We’re Lightning Friends now." Wendy decided.
[This one is precious. We need to make sure that she doesn’t get injured.] Thor informed the others.
[That’s not a problem. I will take good care of her. But she has golems now, we should test them out.] Remi agreed.
Thor picked Wendy up and carried her to the side of the house where the casting wouldn’t bother anyone. He wanted to see what she summoned for Golems too.
