The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1066: Naga Temple

The procession attracted huge amounts of attention from the Temple Guards as they approached with multiple Totems and five Mythic Guild Leaders in their number.

That was not the normal process, as each should be welcomed individually if they were going to visit the Temple.

But when they noticed that there was a Naga Queen leading the procession with one of their own at her side, the Temple Guard nearly forgot that they had duties other than as greeters. They all prostrated as she approached, and Karl felt Remi’s happiness at the chance to have random people worship her just for showing up.

[Don’t get used to it.] Karl reminded her.

[Just for a little bit. I mean, how often do I get to meet so many new Naga?]

Once Remi passed, the Temple Guard turned to the rest of the group and bowed politely, though not nearly as low.

{Welcome honoured guests. What brings you here today?} The Guard Captain asked.

“We are the Guild members and escorts accompanying Queen Remi. If you could find us a place to wait while she finishes her visit to the Temple, it would be appreciated.” Karl explained.

The Guard looked briefly confused, but nodded.

{Of course. We will arrange that now.}

[These Naga are acting particularly sketchy. If anything seems off, return straight to your space, don’t wait to find out how bad things can get.] Karl informed Remi.

[Yeah, now that we’re away from the group, all the worship is getting super creepy. People keep trying to touch me.]

Karl tried not to laugh at the mental image of bowing Naga reaching out to touch her scales as she slithered by.

The Temple Guard led them all to an empty dormitory full of small rooms around a large common area, similar to the ones at the Seminary Academy, or the Capital Cathedral. Rooms intended for simply sleeping, while everything else was done elsewhere.

But it had comfortable seating in the main room, and a pair of Naga in servant’s uniforms waiting in the kitchen.

Hugo settled onto a recliner that groaned under his massive bulk, and turned his attention to Karl.

“Now, I don’t suppose that you could make a few custom items while we wait?”

Karl shrugged. “I don’t see why not. I have the materials. What did you need?”

The mage smiled. “I don’t suppose that you can buff spell power directly with your skill, can you?”

Dana snorted in amusement. The man had set his expectations far too low.

“I think that I can come up with something suitable for a mage. I’ve got an Elven Steel bracelet here that will do the job.”

Karl mentally worked out the best way to put Spell Damage, Skill Activation Speed, and Mana Cost Reduction on the item, then quickly carved them and empowered the runes.

The Guild Leaders watched with rapt attention as the runes flashed through the colours, then settled on inky black at Totem Rank.

It wasn’t Epic Grade, just Rare due to the limited runes on it. But the combination was perfect for a mage.

“How is that? Better than what you have? Or should I try with something a bit more precious?” Karl asked.

It wasn’t like they could possibly know that the outcome was based entirely on his efforts, not the actual materials.

Hugo turned the item over in his hands reverently as the others examined its System information.

“That is beautiful. Exactly what I was hoping for and more. Even though it’s Totem Ranked and Rare Grade, it’s still worlds better than the one that I have been using.” Hugo agreed.

Then he took out a number of Mythic Ranked gems and metal bars.

“Suitable payment?” He asked.

Follow new episodes on the “N0vel1st.c0m”.

“Perfect choice.” Karl agreed.

Deve cleared his throat, but Raj stepped in front of him with a challenging look.

Karl laughed. “Don’t worry, I have more bracelets to work with, I can make one for everyone easily enough. Just tell me what you want.”

“Strength, speed, skill power.” Raj insisted.

“What Hugo got looks good.” Deve replied, still giving the item envious looks.

The other pair of warriors gestured at Raj. “What he said. Warriors are simple creatures, and we’re all the main tanks for our Guild Raid teams.”

So, Karl got to work, first making a duplicate bracelet for Deve, and then starting on the Warrior Class specials. There was limited room for runes, and he couldn’t go overkill with Elven Steel, as it was an Overlord Ranked material, and he was already overloading it a little making Totem Ranked Rare items.

They had more material at the Totem Rank, but there hadn’t been any reason for anyone to use it with Karl gone. So, there were no premade items available.

Draconic Strength, Improved Agility, Skill Damage and Damage Reduction all complemented each other with a bit of Dwarven Poetry on Karl’s part. Each of them might not be as high as only adding two or three buffs to the item, but as Karl added the mana, the bracelets were stable.

The effort of making three at a time left Karl panting, and gave the others the impression that was his daily limit. But the success was undeniable, and the three Warriors cheered as they looked at the identical items.

Even the percentage bonuses and flat damage reduction of 350 points were the same on them all.

That wasn’t a lot of Damage Reduction, especially for Mythic Ranked warriors, but it was not a primary bonus for the items. The greatest of the bonuses was the extra strength, followed by the skill damage, which best matched with Draconic Strength.

“Well, Gentlemen? Is that what you needed? If not, I can try to make something different tomorrow.” Karl offered.

The three Warriors shook their heads. “No, this is perfect. It’s got everything that we wanted, plus a bit of damage reduction. Flat Damage reduction isn’t worth nearly as much at Mythic Rank, but it’s enough to nullify the damage from weaker creatures.”

“Perfect. Now, did you want to stay here the night? Or are you heading home? I suspect that Remi will be a while.” Karl asked.

“We will wait. Something is off about these Naga, and I suspect that if we leave, they will start to cause you trouble. Our Alliance agreement did say we’d help, so call this a preventative intervention.” Hugo insisted.
