The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 Elves Reunited

The Mayor remained on the balcony as many people could be heard jogging toward his office, not particularly concerned, as they didn't sense any emergency.

But the moment that the first woman came in the door and saw the children, the screaming and happy tears started.

"Lieverd, kom nu hier binnen! De kinderen zijn gevonden en gered." She screamed out the door.

Karl could only assume that was the Elvish language because the man who came in seconds later was already smiling and crying when he arrived, and he picked up a boy to spin him in circles. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

That brought a flood of motion outside, as everyone rushed out of the homes and buildings to see what was going on, or to run to the Mayor's office to get a firsthand view of the day's newest highlight.

When you lived in a small town, new and exciting was rare, so Karl wasn't surprised that they would all want to be involved and not find out secondhand.

More Elves began to gather in the office, hurrying to get to the children. Karl retreated to the balcony with the Mayor while there were many tearful family reunions, and just watched in silence for a while.

Eventually, the Mayor whispered to him. "One of the merchant groups who trade with us saw the slaver caravan, and recognized the locals, so he paid off a mercenary group to recover them. But the children weren't with them, and we feared that they were already lost.

It's been months, more than enough time to sell them and have them shipped so far that we would never find them. I didn't want to say anything at first, in case you were trying to ransom them back. But I should have known that a War Champion wouldn't do that to his own Guild members." Karl nodded. "They were taking them to the West Coast for a better price, according to the children. They were just waiting on their contact to arrive in port and robbing travellers when I came across their ambush and cleaned them out."

"Did you get the entire group of slavers?" The Mayor asked hopefully.

"Probably not. I got all the ones that were at that camp, and all the ones at their ambush further toward the next town, but then we had a portal mage bring us here. There are likely more of them in the port city waiting for their contact, and some that just weren't at the ambush where they were working as bandits." Karl replied in a quiet voice that wouldn't interrupt the reunions.

The Mayor looked tired, worn down by stress, but hopeful.

"Well, at the very least, you got all the children back. There will be no tearful parents realizing that their baby isn't among the ones who returned." He sighed.

"Well, it looks like my work here is done. They can all go home to their families, who they weren't expecting to see again. Especially after the adults were sold off during their journey."

"We should reward you properly. What sort of class do you have? I don't recognize that shade of red." The Mayor asked.

That was the second time that someone had said that. "My Class is Beast Master. I grow my power by helping my bonded monsters grow theirs." Karl explained.

The Mayor looked a bit confused for a few seconds, then his eyes lit up in understanding.
