The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1991

Chapter 1991: Why They’re Loud

Curious about Oak’s line of logic, Dana cut in with a question.

"You say that the female blue dragons are quieter. Is this some sort of odd, ’women are demure’ cultural standard that the blue dragons have going on?"

The green dragon laughed at the question. "Oh, far from it. There are two major factions within the blue dragons. One faction who believes their primary duty is to record events as they happen, and the other faction who believes it’s their duty to gather as much knowledge as possible so nothing is lost.

The first group is mostly female blue dragons for some reason, while the second is therefore mostly male.

The thing is, there’s another aspect to it.

The ones in the first group mostly stay in one place, or follow larger groups as a supporter, working as Inscriptionists, Court recorders, Royal Transcriptionists and other tasks that bring them into contact with a lot of information.

The second group asks far too many questions in every single imaginable situation."

Dana giggled as she realized what the dragon meant. "And people snap up the first group for long-term steady jobs, while the second one either becomes Librarians or joins adventuring groups."

"Exactly. So, they’re much easier to hire. You just need to accept that they never stop asking questions. In fact, the best way to get anything out of them is to give them new information first, and then ask your own questions."

Karl laughed, while Dana pointed at him with tears of mirth in the corners of her eyes.

"So, it’s an approved method? I thought that I had worked out a secret recipe of some sort. That’s exactly how I’ve managed to get our Librarian, and the other blue dragons in the branches we were responsible for over the years.

In fact, we even managed to convince one of them to become the Branch Leader of our Drodh Branch in the mortal world."

Oak smiled. "Oh, I bet he’s still mad about that. As much as the love new information, they usually don’t want to be in charge of people who can go get it for them."

"She, actually. Her name is Sapphire. And yes, she’s still upset. But she likes the crafting skills that we got her, and she’s not mad enough to pass the branch off to someone else before she reaches Immortality.

That Mortal world is slowly recovering its power, and soon there should be a new wave of Immortals."

Oak nodded. "We looked into that world before we came here. It’s unlikely to generate more than a half dozen Immortals every century, but for a Mortal world, that’s actually not bad. Most of them will be sent away anyhow, just so that the mana balance doesn’t shift.

More Immortals require much more energy than that world can supply, and it’s locked away from the Immortal Realms, so they can’t draw outside energy to improve the total."

That wasn’t strictly true anymore, with the Tiny World open to them, and connected to the Immortal Realm.

But Karl wasn’t going to mention that now.

Fortunately, Oak continued on her own, so there wasn’t an awkward pause.

"That world suffered a major war between the dragons and giants at some point in the distant past, and it tore away a huge amount of the world’s power. Enough that the System nearly shattered. Or it might have, and then continued in a fragmented form.
