The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1510

Chapter 1510: Retail Punishment

Other than the fabric, as Karl quickly realized.

The uniform that prisoners wore was deliberately designed to make them miserable, in tightly woven heavy canvas that didn’t breathe at all. It appeared to be waterproof, fireproof, and self repairing, despite being coarsely woven.

It was also two toned, with light and dark grey stripes, so nobody would mistake a convict for anything else, even from a distance. Though, it did at least have short sleeves, presumably so the convict couldn’t hide weapons or steal from orders.

Karl subtly activated [Eternal Lightning] under it, which solved the temperature regulation issue, and stepped out of the changing room to meet the Elder to see what his task would be.

"During the evening hours, at the very minimum, you will be here until your hundred hours are up. You take the orders, write them down, and the runners will fill them.

You do not have clearance to enter the herb rooms. Though I suspect you are trustworthy, as you have your own stockpile.

Take the payment, put it in the register, which is linked to the Clan Bank.

Simple."

Karl nodded. "Alright, I don’t see any issues here."

One of the other Alchemy Hall Elders snorted in derision, then caught himself.

"Mocking and harassing convicts is common. But you can’t get into fights, as it will extend your time for fighting during punishment detail. Learning to hold your temper will be an excellent learning experience for someone who thinks that instant kill skills are the appropriate response to harassment."

One of the girls behind the counter gave Karl an assessing look.

Karl might be in a lot of trouble with the Elders, but she totally understood. If she had the option to simply kill men who harassed her, she would have done it decades ago.

Unfortunately, her so-called "Divine Training Manual" had actually been a Mortal Rank item, and she had struggled to advance after reaching Immortality.

None of the methods she had tried worked properly for her.

"Come stand over here, I will teach you the basics. Do you at least know the names of some of the herbs? The petitioners often forget them or use nicknames."

Karl nodded. "I know names from my world, but I don’t know if they’re the same as in this world."

She sighed. "I don’t know if we’re lucky or cursed that the Elder chose to put you on counter duty for your public service. Sweeping the courtyard would have been fine, too."

One of the other girls nodded. "Yummy. Shirtless in the sun with those muscles, I would definitely vote for sweeping duty if we got a choice."

Karl winked at her. "Well, if this is a prisoner fashion show, I have transformation spells."

The two girls laughed. "I don’t think that a World Dragon is going to fit in the reception area."

"Hey, I’m not that lame. I can do Cat Demon and Tengu as well."
