Over the course of the next hour, Karl and Dana followed the shopkeeper around while sending messages to Sapphire about books that she wanted for the Guild Library.
He had no shortage of them, and there were multiple floors of more mundane titles, away from the main showroom floor, which was reserved for the skill books that the vast majority of his patrons were here to find.
"Is it your intention to start a Library of your own? A public one, I mean." He asked as the list of titles neared five hundred and the store credit for the traded skill books was running low.
Karl shook his head. "No, we were thinking that we would reserve the Guild Library for the Guild Members and their children.
That way, they have somewhere that they can go to gain knowledge, the dragons have reference material, and we can stock skill books for them to advance their classes. As a blue dragon, you may or may not have already heard about the success of our experiments."
The shopkeeper nodded eagerly. "The Librarians at Totem Rank and higher all share a group chat. Lady Sapphire already shared the success of the Paladin progression project, and the confirmation that it can work for other classes.
If that really is all that is needed to unlock advanced classes for all these warriors, the research in that project will revolutionize the world itself.
It is wonderful, brilliant new knowledge."
The man was nearly vibrating with excitement, a state that they saw Lotus in nearly every day. But, it was unavoidable for dragons and dragon clerics when their divine aspect was mentioned in conversation.
"Indeed it is. We’re going to be doing more experiments later, both with base warriors, to see if there are other suitable classes to advance them into, and to other classes, to improve their versatility and damage output.
It is our theory that the difficulty of many of the dungeons is not so much due to the gear limits, or they would give better loot.
Instead, we have a theory that the dungeons are only difficult because of poor group composition. If the Totems entering had a properly diversified set of skills, it is possible that they would have a much easier time passing the obstacles." Karl explained.
The shopkeeper smiled. "Oh, you have a point. Like the Corrupted Naga Swamp. The monsters are all under the effect of a zombie curse, and it affects the members of the raiding party as well.
It is nearly impossible to even enter without a Shaman, as their area purification totem poles are the only effective countermeasure against the corruption.
Well, unless you have someone with [Consecrated Ground] or another holy magic purification area effect."
Karl chuckled. "And that’s not common outside the upper ranks of the Dragon Clergy. We do have a member who has it. Well, at least two that I have seen use it. But with its limited radius, I can see how it would be difficult to do a dungeon fight like that."
The old dragon turned and plucked a book from a shelf nearly two stories above their heads.
"Add this to your Library as well. It’s advanced totem crafting for Shamans. Not a skill book, but if they’re talented, they will be able to make multiple new types of them with the lessons in this book." fr.e ewebno.vel .com
He wasn’t even finished speaking when Remi appeared in her shimmering golden ballgown and stretched out all four arms for it.
