The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 820

Now that everyone was gathered, plus one new addition, Karl began to explain the situation to the rest of the Guild.

"Alright, I will start with the core of the issue, then we can find solutions.

The Lord of Drodh has decided that letting us bulk sell Royal and Monarch Ranked items with combat buffs is encouraging merchants to violate trade agreements and weapons embargoes.

So, he is going to buy all the ones that we want to sell directly. The Overlord Ranked items we don’t sell in bulk, and he has agreed to allow them to continue going to auction. We can keep selling Commander Rank items, noncombat items and potions. We can also do custom orders, one per customer per month. That didn’t violate the agreements.

So, the question is: What are we going to make?"

Karl paused to let everyone mull over this new information. They had been making combat enhancements for so long, that they hadn’t even considered doing something else unless the demand dropped.

But the advanced combat enchantments were the entire reason that two of the teachers from Lared Capital Academy were here. If they stopped making them entirely, it would stunt their growth in the field of Runic Weaponry.

Davis, ever the professional store manager, frowned. "So, you’re thinking of changing the lineup of items in the shop completely?"

Karl shook his head. "The case with weapons will have to change. But we can keep the accessories case the same if we change the enchantments to be noncombat buffs. Explore stories on freewebnovel _{freēwebnovel.com}

Then we put up a sign that we take custom orders, and refer them to the Castle for purchase of the rest."

Davis nodded. "At least there is a guard station right outside. They’ll be able to tell customers where to find the rest of the items, but this is quite the hit to our business. Who demanded this?"

Karl sighed. "The Lord himself. I wasn’t really in a position to tell him to pound sand."

That made the Fallen Angel smile. "But I would have paid good money to see you try.

Alright, we can work with this. We will inform them that the combat items have been made part of the strategic reserve and will be at the auction or available through the Castle store rooms.

Then we can fill the shelves with day to day sort of magical items to show off the workers’ creativity. But what about the apprentice works?"

Karl shrugged. "He said that Commander Rank and under is no big deal. We can sell what we like at that power level. But the first thing that I am going to do is upgrade the workshop a bit for higher mana density. It might allow Loros to break through soon, and it will make items easier to enchant for everyone."
