The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454 Bruse Temple

Karl sighed. The Divine Beast Nation had always sounded like an area that was just a monster wilderness, but it should have occurred to Karl that Dragons, and most other powerful divine beasts, could shape-shift.

It also made sense that they would welcome the beastkin in their nation, as those species were at least half beast anyhow.

Most of the ones here were fully furred, despite being humanoid. Not like Overlord Ahmad, who just had cat ears, most of these had animal shaped heads and fur or scales everywhere.

They were actually rather adorable when they were nervous. From beside Karl, there was a soft chuckle, and an elderly Werebear woman smiled down at him.

"You can all relax, the human isn't going to attack. Though, with the way that he looks at swishing tails, he might be dangerous in an entirely different way." She declared.

The Werebear laughed at her own joke, and most of the clerics gave Karl a strange look, but he could see that a few of them were walking with extra sway in their hips.

One of the male priests, a man with small round ears and black streaks in the light-brown fur on his head, frowned at Karl.

"Are we sure that it's safe to have a foreign predator here? This place is a safe spot for the clerics of the beast gods, not for hosting international guests." He suggested quietly.

"Would it help if I brought out a friend who recently advanced with the help of the Beast Gods? She even did so in the old temple Northeast of Baberg. It might have been in ruins, but the link to the Gods was still there, as they sent a pair of Gryphons to defend her when the Miviascan Slavers attacked."

Orthos the dragon looked skeptical. "You needed help to defend against a group of slavers?"

Karl shook his head. "No, but it's the thought that counts. But that temple was an interesting one. I could sense the anomaly there that linked it to another temple, one that was very similar, but not quite the same layout. If you go there and check with echolocation, you should find it."

Orthos looked excited. "The temple was still linked after its destruction? That is wonderful news. I will have a team sent there immediately with at least one bat. They should find your anomaly if it's still active."

The squirrel cleric with the striped head frowned at the excited dragon. "You can't think that there is a chance to link directly with the old gods again."

Orthos shrugged, as if he didn't care either way, but Karl had questions. "Why wouldn't that be possible. I could swear that I have heard the Gods speak more than once. The most recent time was a warning that the people in Orthos' town were real and not just instance mobs that I could slaughter for loot and food. But the time before that, they were mocking me for making an odd choice inside a trial instance. Instead of trying to walk up or down the stairs, I jumped straight in the air to see what would happen."

"What did happen?" Orthos asked.

"I landed on the same step I jumped from and got laughed at. But I would like to think that it positively influenced their decision when it came time for the instance rewards."

The squirrel man did not look convinced.

"Can you bring out this favoured beast for us to meet?"

[Remi, want to come and meet people?]

Remi perked up and cast her armour spell, getting prepared in her finery for meeting new people. But Cara was much more excited.

[Can I come out and meet people too? I have never gotten to meet new people.]

[Once they've gotten used to Remi, you can come out. This is a Divine Beast Nation, I would say that you're likely more welcome here than I am.]
