Karl nodded in acceptance. "Well, then I suppose that I should take you all into the branch. I suspect that at least one of you will likely want to challenge for branch leadership in the future, as you’re more powerful than I am by a fair margin.
I can assure you that I won’t object too vocally."
Louie laughed. "Oh no, you don’t. You’re not pawning that workload off on us."
"Well, I must say that the Guild really was generous. The only thing that they didn’t send us was another blacksmith to help with new recipes."
"Oh, I can help with that. My blacksmithing skills might not be at the level of a prime blacksmith in the Guild, but I have centuries of experience at the forge making items for Blood Arrays.
You see, most Blood Arrays need to be set into a specific sort of item, so basic crafting is included in the trade skill. I use it for making buildings and fortifications, but I can also do metal weapons and armour, while Luminaria can make all the wooden and organic items that you might need.
Not as good as the Divine Smith who made some of the items in the front shop there, but I have experience."
Karl smiled. "Tian will be happy to hear that you praise his skills. He doesn’t like actually working in the forge, he just likes being useful."
"Clean freak?" Oak asked, her green eyes showing her curiosity.
"Yes. Stonefur Divine Fox, but he hates getting dirt or soot in his fur."
Leon shrugged. "Understandable. I hate having to clean debris from my wings. That’s why I put them away most of the time. You have no idea how long it takes to feel clean again after you get blood on your feathers.
Even with magic, it just doesn’t feel clean."
So, the Seraphim was also against messy battles, even though he was a Holy Crusader, a melee combat class.
The Darklight Host really did attract oddballs.
{Branch Leader Karl offers a Branch Transfer}
{Accepted} x6
"Well now, I can safely say that the Darklight Host is the most powerful single Guild on the Continent. Even most of the Alliances couldn’t boast as many Supreme Ranked members as we have, and crafting Clans are exceedingly rare on this world.
We’ve been doing business with the Blue Elves, and everyone is eager to get their hands on anything that they can." Karl announced.
Louie chuckled. "This world really is trash. No offence. But I can see why we were sent. Oak has a whole Library with her to help build up the Guild’s Library. Not Skill Books, but we do have a lot of related knowledge.
Do you have someone who can make skill books, other than yourself, as a Runemaster?"
Karl nodded. "The other Runecrafters I trained can do it. I have [Follow Me, Little One] to transfer skills. But I also have the [Skill Book] skill, so I can make copies of skills that I know.
Karl offered Andrea the {Demonic Cultivation Manual} Unholy God’s Path of Eternal Destruction.
The demon took it, turned it over in her hands, and then shook her head.
"It’s incompatible with my System as well. I think it’s only for certain types of Systems that require you to actively train inner power. I progress the same way that you do, with practice, not cultivation and resource intake.
But it does look like it’s a good one. Perhaps the others will be able to use the summoning spell?"
Karl shrugged, and realized that he would have to use [Follow Me, Little One], as he couldn’t conveniently make that spell into a book.
Epic Grade skills were a pain to write out.
{Pet Sitter Karl Grants Knowledge} [Army of Nature’s Vengeance] will be granted to Tree Fort Artisan Oak.
{Pet Sitter Karl Grants Knowledge} [Army of Nature’s Vengeance] will be granted to the misguided child of the White Dragon, Luminaria.
"You know, that spell would be much more popular if it refrained from insulting people every time you activated it," Luminaria complained.
It did make Karl wonder what she had done that the Gods called her misguided, though.
