The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1971

Chapter 1971: Fashionably Late

A party wasn’t a party until the band started to play, and that meant that Tian had a captive audience, with the help of a band conjured by Opal.

He was in humanoid form for a change, a preteen boy with fluffy white fox ears and a long tail, dressed in a bright blue and gold suit. That was what he had decided a Noble Bard should look like, and they were playing for Clan Leaders, who were basically dignitaries.

The rest of the group was much more colourful, though Opal had made them all foxkin, and Karl was forcibly reminded of a beastkin mariachi band.

Especially when they started to sing and play upbeat party music.

With just a faint hint of [Fox Charm] on his singing, nobody would ever complain about Tian’s voice, and when paired with a table full of Divine Cooking created snacks, everyone had quickly forgotten that they had serious security concerns about the Darklight Host.

All those discussions could wait for later.

Half of these Clans didn’t even have a formal alliance with each other, and the Clan Leaders didn’t actually like one another. But for the night, they were not going to cause any trouble in the home of the region’s undisputedly most powerful crafting Guild.

In Almeixei, the reports were flowing in fast from the spies that they had embedded in the other Clans of the region.

All their intelligence department Elders now knew the basics of the new members that the Darklight Host had gained. Not their names or classes, but that they were all Supreme, and supposedly all had a crafting skill.

They had refrained from sending members today, as not only did they not have an alliance with the Darklight Host, except through the New Home Merchant Clan, they didn’t want to get caught up in Karl’s pace when he was coercing a group of fellow Clan Leaders into seeing things his way.

Lord Almeixei had very little doubt that he’d be able to do it, and he didn’t want his own Elders to get caught up in the mess.

They had the numbers to assert absolute dominance over the region, controlling the majority of the wilderness, the hidden realms, and other training spaces that appeared within hundreds of kilometres of their city.

But if their members began to get individually outclassed out in the wilderness, then they would quickly lose the respect that made them a Sect that everyone had to obey.

Once that was gone, everything would start to crumble, including their forced alliances.

So, they would work out a deal with these new craftsmen that Nerissa had found, but not today.

Going tonight, with all the minor clans, would look overly eager to curry favour. Going tomorrow was not so late as to look disrespectful. So they would arrive after noon, in consideration of the after effects of a welcoming party.
