The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1706

Chapter 1706: Do You Call It Adoption?

Back in Gralpedrin, Rae did a casual backstroke through the diminishing pool of blood.

Opal had been refilling it with illusionary blood, so the level didn’t drop, but the energy level was nearly depleted, which would mark the end of her bath time.

"Are you going to let the blind girl go?" Opal asked as she fluttered overhead into Rae’s line of sight.

"No, that one is interesting, I think that I will keep her."

"Do I get a vote?" The blind girl asked, vaguely aware of what was going on by the sound of swimming, and the auras of the two monsters.

"Not on this.

Besides, where would you go anyhow? Did you have family somewhere outside the city? I didn’t sense any more in Gralpedrin." Rae explained.

"What do you mean more? I am an orphan. I was raised by a single mother, who passed away years ago."

Opal frowned as she circled the girl’s head.

"Utter nonsense. I might not be as good at the whole aura matching thing as Rae is, but your mother was a member of the Gralpedrin Templars. She looked just like you."

"Looked?"

"Her head is currently spiked to the wall of the New Home Merchant Clan."

"Oh."

Rae dipped under the water, then came up and spit up a fountain of blood like a breaching whale.

"Your father was here in the compound as well. His blood is in the pool." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"What the actual fuck?"

"Right? They let the blind kid think that she was an orphan, and just moved across town while you suffered alone."

That was not her major concern with Rae’s answer.

"Are you swimming in a pool of blood?"

"Naturally. I am a blood destruction spider. It’s essential to my advancement. Plus, it’s thicker than water, so I float really well."

The girl shuddered at the mental image, though she couldn’t see anything that was happening around her, and had no idea how she had come to be here. She was hiding in one of the Clan’s less used buildings, but she had felt herself being moved, and then she heard the conversation between the spider and whatever small flying creature the other voice was.

"What are you going to do to me? I’m not good with pain."

Rae laughed. "No, it won’t be painful. I’m just going to relocate you somewhere safe.

You can see me with whatever skill you have, and that means that I can’t leave you out here to grow up unattended. So, I will put you with a bunch of other interesting creatures, and some baby dragons.

It will be fine, the Clan Leader even lets us send them to school."

"So, you’re... adopting me?" She asked hesitantly.

Rae paused her swim and frowned.
