As they stepped outside, all of Karl’s other guesses about whom the visitor might be arrived at once. Domesk, Rashid and Jones all followed them around the back of the house, and Jones erected a privacy spell over them, while Karl inspected his Golems.
They were all Overlord Ranked, and he could certainly make better ones now. But they looked comfortable on the walls, right at home and familiar with their surroundings.
No need to change what wasn’t broken.
"First off, congratulations. Secondly, more congratulations on joining one of the Sholaha Guild Alliances. Tell me, have you managed to get a spot on one of their Dungeon teams yet?" Governor Shin asked.
Karl nodded. "Indeed. Not only have I gotten a spot, but the ladies are all Overlords now, and in high demand for large group dungeon raids. The combination of skills with multiple talented healers seems irresistible to the locals."
The Governor nodded in agreement. "I can’t argue with that. They’re an excellently balanced group, and they don’t have three or four warriors like most others would. I swear that the imbalance of warriors has to be a cruel prank by the Gods.
But it seems to be getting better recently.
That’s not why we’re here, though.
Now that you’re a Totem Ranked resident, there are some considerations. I’m sure that you’re well aware, as you were here when Jones advanced.
Did you wish to claim a portion of the city for yourself? Or perhaps an honorary title?"
Karl shrugged. "Honorary titles are fine. I am not so interested in the management of more people than just my Guild members, and we’ve already got a Guild Villa in Zilaz as well, with more crafters being recruited.
There is a Totem Ranked blue dragon among the new arrivals, so you might be getting another powerful visitor soon.
She will be leading a large part of the training team once she’s fully settled into her new skills, but the focus will be on equipment for the Totem and Mythic Ranked adventurers in Sholaha.
The Dungeons there have terrible loot, for the most part, and the crafting skills of the Darklight Host are in high demand.
We even sold out of soap."
The demons laughed at the complaint. The scent nullification soaps and cleansing soaps, that prevented getting dirty for the whole day, were hugely popular in the city. They were quickly becoming the Guild’s signature item, as not only wealthy adventurers could afford them, and they were used daily by an increasingly large portion of the city’s population.
The fish markets might riot if the supply stopped.
"So, if we just slap a polite title on you, that’s all you’re after?" Jones asked.
