The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464 Separate Rooms

Rae appeared in the middle of the room, looking very much like she always had. So, why she would be a surprise for anyone present was a mystery.

However, after a quick check to make certain that nobody else was watching, she stepped forward, and through the table next to them, using [Ghost Beast] to pass through the solid stone table.

"Did she just?" Tessa asked quietly.

"She did." Karl agreed, before Rae returned to her nap. She was fairly certain that she still had a ways to go to master that skill, even if she could make it function right now. There was much more to an Epic Grade skill than simply being able to make it activate.

Nobody else said anything about it out loud, as the acolytes were beginning to return with dinner now. But that didn't mean that they were not all silently celebrating.

Dana gave Karl a meaningful look, quietly asking him if this is what he had been up to since his arrival. It hadn't been planned, at least not by him, but even a single skill for his beasts was a huge win, and Rae's new skill was an incredible one.

"So, are we here as substitute teachers for beastkin Acolytes? As adorable as they are, I suspect that will not be enough to keep the Red Dragon happy. It's been a while since we fulfilled the terms of the contract now." Ophelia reminded them.

Tessa declined to mention that whatever Karl had been up to while he was gone had been counted toward their timer. Anyone listening didn't need to know that they had extra time. But she had an idea.

"Maybe we can convince them to let us head back to the battlefield? It's not that far from here to the back side of the Mountain Giant Nation. They shouldn't hold it against the beasts if a few humans are let loose on them."

From somewhere on Karl's right, a derisive snort of laughter caught his attention.

"While I don't doubt that the Monster Man can take on a Monarch Rank Giant, you should realize that they send them out ten at a time in border patrol teams. Not even the Red Dragon would be impressed if you committed suicide, human."

Tessa turned to look at the speaker, and saw that it was a large and muscular Lion type beastkin, nearly as large as Ophelia's Werebear form.

He was on the strong side of Commander, but he lived here, so he would be more of an expert on the situation at their border with the Mountain Giants than they were. But to think that they put border patrols that strong along the border with the Divine Beasts. That had to be cutting down on the strength they could put against the humans, even though they were at war.

The Golden Dragon Nation didn't have hundreds of Monarch Rank Elites to throw around, and if the Giants were using them as border patrol, they clearly did.

Tessa smiled at him. "Don't underestimate a War Priestess. But you have a point, we're not up to that. I don't suppose you have any suggestion on how to keep the Red Dragon happy while we're waiting for what the representative called 'their earliest convenience' to make sure we get back home?"

The beastkin shrugged. "No idea. But the border is a bad idea."

The group finished their dinner and headed for bed, escorted by the Acolytes.

"Um, we usually have two to a room, so Mister Karl will have to sleep alone, unless you want to share with an Acolyte." A small wolf kin boy explained as he led them to the visitor quarters. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

"Or I could share with Dana and High Priestess Lotus could share with an Acolyte." Karl offered.

The boy looked horrified. "You can't share a room with girls. They might have cooties."

Karl did his best not to laugh at the panicked look on the boy's face, while the others tried not to laugh.

"Um, no offence. I'm sure you don't really have cooties." He stammered when he remembered that everyone could hear him.

Karl smiled at the others. "Well, ladies, you heard the young Acolyte. It looks like you're sharing, and I will have one of the Acolytes as a roommate."

Lotus stuck out her tongue at Karl, even though he had tried to set her up with an Acolyte to bunk with. They probably wouldn't get much sleep. Only Tessa could reliably make Lotus sleep before she wore herself out, but it would have helped the Nature Cleric's mood.

Karl didn't actually expect them to transfer someone into his room, as the Acolytes should have all had their own rooms, but when he got inside, one of the beds was already taken by a dragonkin of some sort, with white hair and silver horns.
