The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 781

The base layer of the armour was just quilted cloth padding, in this case Monarch Rank silk, that had dozens of ties all over it to attach the enchanted wooden armour plates.

Once they were layered, they would make a nearly complete defensive barrier that maintained extreme flexibility.

This style of armour was originally an Orcish invention, so the plates should have been enchanted by a Shaman. But Runecrafting would be close enough for the purpose. Not authentic, but close enough.

Especially if he gave the armour some sort of spell effect.

Loros was already designing all the plates for the armour while measuring the body double.

Once she had the design drawn, Lotus created the rough piece, thicker than necessary so that it could be carved properly.

Then they tied them on the base layer as Rae and the Governor’s wife chatted quietly about the wilderness of this Dragon Isle.

She was surprisingly well travelled for what amounted to a Princess from a Noble house.

Now, Rae knew a bit about the wilderness in the area, and that there really were Overlord and Totem Rank wild monsters roaming the wild areas of the continent.

Further away, there were supposed to be much worse things. But generations of dedicated hunting had reduced the threat level in Drodh and Lared, the nation to their south.

In Madam Shin’s homeland of Unzatharb, there were wild monsters at the Mythic Rank as well. But they had an Immortal Guard to keep them under control.

After a few questions, Rae realized that referred to their Rank, one above Totem, and it wasn’t simply a title.

"Immortal Guard sounds like a good job to have." Ophelia joked as she carried lunch up for everyone working on the second floor.

Madam Shin laughed. "Well, it’s job security, for certain. They only take in new Immortals when one is permanently killed, and the Librarian Elder of the Guard has been with them for over a hundred thousand years, since the last full activation of the System and through multiple small resurgences."

Cara wondered what his power would taste like.

Probably musty books.

It took hours, but the shop was quiet as Madam Shin had the armour fitted for her husband.

Rae stood up as they finished and shook the woman’s hand. "Give us one week, and we will have it all prepared. Black with red runes, just as we discussed. Don’t worry, I know what you’re after."

With that, the customers left, and Rae dragged Loros out the window to get to work on the project.

Much to the Demon’s dismay.

Second floor windows were not appropriate exits for Demons without wings.

But Rae just Shadow Stepped as they passed through the window frame and straight to the workshop with Loros tucked under her arm.

[Yeah, if I put her under my robes, I can just carry her in my shadow. Very convenient.] Rae agreed. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Davis messaged Karl, who came down to see what the commotion was.

"Oh, that is magnificent. I can make Runes at the Monarch Rank, but it appears that weapon is already beyond my level, so I would only be adding secondary effects." He explained, while trying to understand what level that blade could be at.

It radiated immense power, but raw and unrefined, as if it only just finished forging and hadn’t been used yet.

The customer smiled, an expression that was completely unnatural on their fake face.

"That is fine. I have a skill to remedy that."

Karl nodded in understanding. The advanced classes on this continent should have all sorts of unfathomable powers available to them after the Totem Rank.

The fact that this man could carry that blade to set it on the counter, but didn’t give any indication of his Rank, was enough to tell both Karl and Davis that he was far too powerful for them to question his skills.

"Did you have a budget or particular element in mind? I have a selection of Monarch Ranked elemental Gems for the enchantment." Karl offered.

"Fire. It must be fire." The man insisted quickly.

[A customer with good taste.] Hawk cheered from his perch.

Karl could have sworn the man’s mouth turned up in amusement, but there was no way that he could have heard Hawk, who was perched on the roof of the workshop. Unless he read minds, that was.
