The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1711

Chapter 1711: A Turtle’s Tragedy

While Opal turned the spare warehouse into a luxury spa for bunny girls, Karl was turning the apartments for the new Immortals into something that looked less like rubble, and more like the traditional apartment blocks that they had been.

Only, with a few upgrades that the original designers hadn’t bothered with, or hadn’t known about.

The most notable of the changes was the fact that Karl added the basic runes for mana gathering to the main room in every apartment, and put a small mana crystal in the floor so that they could keep a diffuse collection of stored mana within the Clan.

Not only would it help everyone’s progression, it would also provide backup mana if the Clan was attacked again. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

In an emergency, every bit of mana that could be called upon to keep the barriers up mattered, and if their existing defences could have taken a few more hits, the New Home Merchant Clan wouldn’t have been doing as much repair work.

Karl could sense Leo’s despair as the turtle realized that the school had been smashed, and they were going to have to sort through it all for valuable reading materials before they could start reconstruction.

That was a tragedy to the young turtle. He had friends who went to the school.

But now that he thought about it, they should be somewhere in the compound as well, and he didn’t know if they were all okay. Not everyone who had been defeated was able to be resurrected, the Clan had taken hundreds, possibly thousands of casualties.

Now, in relative terms, that was less than five percent, versus over ninety percent permanent casualties for the Gralpedrin Templars, but that was not the point.

Those were all people that might be his friends, or the family of his friends.

The underground safe zones hadn’t been breached that he knew of, but many of his friends had powerful parents, and they would have gone to fight and defend the New Home’s territory.

Leo started to help sort through the rubble, picking out books and stacking them in orderly piles using the [Thorned Vines] spell.

It wasn’t a powerful nature magic, and was mostly a crowd control skill, but it was great at grabbing things. Then someone else’s vine tried to grab the same books he was going for, and Leo looked up to see that Cindy Lou had joined them, and was using her magic to clean the rubble from the classroom.

Her eyes were red, and Leo feared the worst, until her heard her mumbling about her backpack, which was left at school when she evacuated, and held many precious memories.

Cindy Lou liked to keep pictures, gifts from classmates and other trinkets along with her school supplies.

"We’re two classrooms over. Our class was there." Leo informed her, pointing with his chin to his left.

"You’re sure?"

Leo nodded. "I’ve been working my way over there, but didn’t want to leave work behind me."
