The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 2019

Chapter 2019: Uncanny Valley

The crowd watched the group stand silently in the middle of an empty lot, conferring either in hushed tones or through System Messages, and then stared as the walls of two new buildings began to rise.

Nobody knew what it was that they were physically building, but the renovation of the town was an ongoing project, and they had seen quite a few intriguing shops here already.

So, if this one required a whole new building, it had to be good.

Over the course of the next hour, the building took shape. First as a rough stone building, then as a fully formed hotel, and what appeared to be a cheap apartment building next to it.

That seemed strange.

Then, they saw that the second building had a basement tavern, and realized that the simple stone building was a deliberate choice for a budget hostel or inn.

The other building was a grand one, relatively simple on the outside to fit with the rest of the buildings in town, but the fittings on the doors appeared to be solid gold, and what they could see of the interior was spectacular.

The changes and magic continued for another half hour before the building seemed to settle, and the magic surrounding it faded to a more stable state.

Then, Karl and the others stepped outside.

"Ah, I see that we attracted some attention. We’ve taken a moment to open a few overnight facilities for the guests of the Darklight Host. Two hotels, one full service, and one more affordable inn for travellers.

Both will likely be full tonight, but when the city is less crowded it will make more sense.

As it’s all magic, there are no vermin, and the temperature is controlled, none of that sweltering in the afternoon sun that some of the lesser Clans would ask of guests on a budget.

Also, the majority of the staff are constructs. No fear of hired spies becoming a danger to the guests."

That made the Clan Leaders nearby laugh.

If you got attacked by a construct, it was not an accident. Either you provoked it enough that its defensive protocols kicked in, or you annoyed the creator enough that they wanted you dead.

If that happened, then there wasn’t much that was going to save you, and you really shouldn’t be spending a night at a hotel on their territory.

That was just basic survival instinct.

"When will they be open for business?" One of the Clan Leaders asked.

"The bunnies are bringing in staff for the kitchens now, and the rest of the staff are already in place. If you would like to reserve a room for the evening, you may do that now, and the dinner service will be available in an hour."

The crowd cheered, and a number of the less dignified Clan Leaders rushed toward the doors of the nicer hotel.

{Are there any Clan Leaders you want reserved rooms for?} Karl messaged Andrea.
