The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419 Late Night Visitors

There were a few more photos taken as they sat and ate, watching the work.

The crews were really hammering through the construction, and though the buildings were simple, Karl saw that there was a logic to the design. What they were building here didn't look like a fancy rural temple or a holy spot of any sort. It looked like a storage warehouse in the middle of nowhere, which could have belonged to a defunct mine or even to the furthest branches of the nearby coal mines.

Making it look like an unimportant industrial facility as a disguise was a much better safety measure than just keeping someone powerful enough to deter intruders on staff.

The work was going much faster than Karl had expected, and the set of warehouses were nearly finished by the time that it got dark.

By then, Rae was finished as well, and she had made a simple black version of the outfit that Dana was wearing for Overlord Niall, with the same adaptive ability for the coloration. It was a beautiful set, and it would allow his stealth skills to become even more effective.

"Gentlemen, would you care to join us for dinner?" The Minister of National Treasures asked just before the sun set.

The overlords were still with Karl's group, sitting around eating baked goods and telling jokes. They had met with everyone who was on the site, but only because everyone came to them. At no point since they had taken a seat had any of them gone more than five metres from the containers full of baked goods.

But there was a full feast prepared for the workers, and Doug had called someone over to bring out the desserts for everyone to share, now that it was looking unlikely that Dana could eat even one more cookie, and he had hidden a full container of his favourites in his storage bag.

He wasn't the only one. Karl suspected that everyone had at least a small container of sweets in their storage bags now, but there were still entire piles of containers full of them.

The cameraman was there again, doing short meet and greet style photos with the Elites and the workers. Normally, those always made Karl laugh when they came out in the newspaper because they looked so forced, but the workers were enthusiastically greeting them all, and profusely thanking them for the help in obtaining tables full of sweets. The cameraman wasn't making videos, so it didn't matter what they were talking about, and a joking conversation between a Royal Rank Elite and a steelworker about their favourite type of cake made for great photos.

Once dinner was finished, Team One made their way to one of the supply helicopters, and left on whatever mission they had been assigned to next.

That was the last order of business for the evening, and everyone retired to their tents as twilight turned to full dark.

Karl had thought that the Overlords would be leaving with Team One as soon as their business was finished, as their helicopter was still waiting for them, but they set up camp in one of the new buildings to stay the night.

Karl woke in the middle of the night to the feeling that something was wrong. Rae was awake, and she didn't see anything, but she was uneasy about something.

He waited in his hammock, ready to equip his armour the moment there was something solid to go on.

[Incoming] Rae reported, and Karl silently got out of bed, not wanting to wake the others until he knew what the situation was. He waited in his hammock, ready to equip his armour the moment there was something solid to go on.

[Incoming] Rae reported, and Karl silently got out of bed, not wanting to wake the others until he knew what the situation was. His team wasn't on watch, so it wasn't his job to respond right now. He just wanted to make sure that whoever was on watch had noticed the threat.
