The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415 Cookies

They made their way out of the dungeon, and found Colonel Valerie, along with a large number of researchers, waiting for them.

"How did the run go?" She demanded, notepad at the ready.

"The twenty-four-hour cooldown is confirmed, it notified me as we finished. So the timer starts after the last boss dies. Mostly we got armour and some accessories that we all have better versions of, but we also got one skill book. I will make a copy of it later." Karl explained.

"You used the book right away instead of passing it to the Inscriptionists?" A portly researcher asked in horror.

"I have a skill for making copies of the skills I already know. It's a bit odd, but I have already given the skill to Bob and Ophelia, and that used up my creation attempts for the day." Karl explained.

Colonel Valerie smirked, as she knew that was an outright lie. He could make more than just two books a day, she had the reports from his interview with the Archmage.

"Alright, we will let you get to the birthday celebration that your team is preparing. There will be a large team arriving this evening to build the structure over the dungeon entrance, and we will be holding a small social event to welcome them." She explained.

Bob chuckled. "That sounds an awful lot like more important people are coming, and we need to keep them entertained while the news cameras hound you and the other team leaders for information." "I am not going to say that you're wrong. But what I will say is that attendance is compulsory, so put on your very best outfit, and maybe trim your beard."

Bob scratched at his stubble and shrugged. "I will see what I can do. You're welcome to come over for lunch. Dana wanted turkey and dumplings, so the other half of the team has been working on it all morning while we were in the dungeon."

"So that is why you're with them and not Lotus. They needed someone else who could cook. Alright, they've been over to steal enough ingredients from us this morning, I will have to come visit to see how it turned out." That startled Karl. He had brought everything that they requested for the birthday meal that was planned, so if they were looking for more, they must have added more to the menu that the two Nature Clerics couldn't create on their own.

When they entered the fort, it looked like someone had been prepping for a church bake sale.

There were four large pizza ovens lined up along one wall, three long griddles with pressure cookers, or possibly steam pots, on top set along the other, with two massive mixers in the middle next to dozens of tubs full of baked goods.

Doug waved as Karl entered the tent. "You're just in time. Help unload the small cakes from the steam pots, and get them out on the cooling racks. We've got another batch ready to go. Happy birthday, Miss Dana. Here, have a cookie."

Doug gestured to what looked like a three gallon bucket full of gingersnap cookies, and Dana laughed, pulling one still warm cookie from the top of the pile.

"Oh, these are amazing, but how did you even get so many of them made, we were only gone an hour or so." Dana asked.

"Magic." Doug deadpanned.

Lotus nodded, and loaded fresh cupcakes into the steam pots that Karl was emptying. They had three layers of racks and a bit of water in the bottom, so the contents steamed to perfection, which was a bit different from a baked cupcake, but they looked delicious. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Then she cast a spell over the pot as she put it on the grill and went to load the next.

With that as a reminder, Karl noticed that the cookies in the ovens were flattening suspiciously quickly, and realized that the clerics must know some spell for rapid baking.

Doug gestured to one of the ovens. "We need more hands. Everyone but the birthday girl, hop to it, keep the line moving, and we will have sweets for weeks.

Dana, enjoy your cookies. Lunch will be ready in a half hour."
