The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1934

Chapter 1934: The Great City

Leo came out in tortollan form, and waved happily toward the portal, while not speaking out loud.

Just like the Cerro packs, his people could speak to each other mentally, and he had received a thread of awareness from the Elven City the moment that he arrived.

"Oh, that’s cool, he’s fully become the city. I like it.

That’s a unique path for a turtle, but it’s working out amazingly well for him, isn’t it? It’s even made him a Demigod."

The Elves looked confused as Leo fell silent, so Karl tried to explain.

"The turtle gets a bonus to its growth from the people living in the city on its back. It takes a massive amount of energy for it to do anything, and it may not know how to transform like Leo does.

So, it hibernates, or cultivates, depending on how you look at it, and your people actually provide the energy it needs by simply living on its back. The mana that you radiate, the excess life force of however many Elves are in the city, are fuelling its slow path to Divinity."

The Captain frowned. "You’re saying that the turtle is still alive? Our history with the Great Turtle is a long one, and our people have mourned its passing for centuries. To hear that it is not dead is... hard to accept."

Leo looked up. "I can confirm that she is not dead. Not likely to wake up any time soon, it would take too much energy. But not dead. I don’t know the details, it’s like talking to someone who is dreaming."

Karl shrugged. It was truly difficult to kill a demigod.

"You can likely keep that knowledge to yourselves. If my guess is right, it won’t make any difference in the next few thousand years while the turtle heals from the damage it took."

The Captain nodded. "We will treat it as a rumour. There have been others like it before, shamans who said that they sensed support from the Great Turtle as they rose to power."

After a moment, an Elder of the Blue Elves arrived with a group of students in what Karl guessed were their equivalent of student uniforms.

They all matched, anyhow.

All youths, all with the same blue grey skin and white hair. All wearing the same black leather pants with white linen tunic shirts and red silk bandanas hung around their necks.

"I thought you didn’t need red?" Karl asked.

"It’s not that we don’t use it. That’s the colour for students, so that we know they’re not fully trained. It’s just that we’ve got enough and didn’t need more."

"Ah, that makes sense. I will have to ask them about all the formal dress codes for the Blue Elves, so that I don’t offer them things that are inappropriate. The dress code on the high sea is most likely very different than it is on land.

Especially here in the south, where the waters are cold."

The Captains nodded. "They have brought a guide for you, just in case."

"Very considerate. The only Elves we have here at the moment are the forest kind, and they’re ... a bit different."

The thought made the Captains chuckle. "Well, at least they appreciate a good tan."
