The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417 Overlord Upgraded

Overlord Johann strode directly to Karl with a smile on his face. "It is a pleasure to meet you, young Prince. We have heard much about your talents and exploits lately."

Karl took his outstretched hand with a smile. "It's an honour to meet you as well. It isn't often that we are graced with the presence of Overlords out here in the wilderness."

The Shining Knight laughed and nodded. "That is true. But this is a unique situation. There are only a few repeatable dungeons active in the nation, and only one other is at the Commander Rank. The fact that this one is entirely Ogres and far enough from the border that it won't be easily contested is enough to pull us out here for the day to take a look."

Overlord Niall was more interested in Dana's outfit, and he was silently inspecting her, turning Dana side to side to get a better look.

"Was that a reward from this Dungeon? It seems too high level for that." He asked in a low voice that was clearly altered with some sort of voice changer.

Dana shook her head. "It was a gift from Prince Karl, made by his Royal Rank Bloodbath Spider."

Dana looked shocked that she had said that out loud, and Karl began to suspect that the Overlord from the Inquisition had a skill that made people tell him the truth.

The final Overlord made his way across the rest of the group before settling on Karl.

"I am told that you can make skill books. Do you suppose that you could make me one of the Fire Element?" He asked, though the tone suggested that the request was merely a courtesy and declining was not an option.

"Certainly. I have an excellent Fire Element skill if you are compatible. Tell me, do you have any sort of bestial affinity? The skill was designed for use by a beast, so it can be considered a prerequisite to using the skill book directly. I believe you can still learn by studying the book, but you know how that goes." Karl agreed.

The mage lifted his hood upward slightly, and Karl caught a glimpse of fluffy blonde ears on the top of his head.

"That should work wonderfully. I can make it for you before you go, or whenever we get time this afternoon."

[Finally, not an evil magician.] Hawk cheered.

Then Ahmad the mage paused and sniffed the air. "Was there a celebration already planned? I smell all sorts of fancy baking."

Karl nodded and gestured behind him. "It is Commander Dana's birthday today, and our Nature Clerics were kind enough to make a remarkable number of baked goods to celebrate. Would you care to join us?"

"Once we finish with the rest of the welcoming. But do save me some of those cupcakes that I can smell, if you would."

That shouldn't be a problem, there were hundreds of them made. One case full reserved for the Overlord wouldn't be a hardship to anyone else. The Overlords moved on, saying hello to everyone, or in the case of Overlord Niall, saying hello to his fellow Inquisitors and the Magic Knights, then standing back, so people didn't bother him.

He wasn't really the talkative sort, but that wasn't all too surprising for a member of the Inquisition.

While everyone else was busy, Karl walked over to Overlord Niall and lowered his voice. "I don't suppose we get to know what happened that you all came here today? It's a monumental occasion, but you are an emergency response team, and there are still two Princes here and only one man with a camera, no reporters."
