The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1124

Chapter 1124: Nilla

Once their drinks were empty, Cindy went and ordered one more mulled blood wine to go, and the group returned to the Alliance compound.

Rae visibly relaxed once they were out of the direct sun, as she could [Shadow Step] nearly anywhere in the compound, thanks to the directional lighting used. The others thought that she was just happy to be back home, but those with more attuned senses knew her happiness was that of a predator back on its own territory.

Rae spotted the vampire in question looking out his window and sniffing. He had clearly noticed that someone was bringing him a drink, so Rae went to recover him.

The startled squeak that he made when she [Shadow Stepped] into his room and then grabbed him to bring him outside made Reggie laugh, but Cindy was struggling not to facepalm.

"Nilla, this is Lady Rae, the Leatherworker and tailor who is making everyone’s new armour. She has the same favourite drink that you do." Marcus offered, as Cindy was fighting hard not to drop the drink.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lady Rae. I must say, your movement skills are exceptional. I didn’t even notice you enter until you grabbed me.

But Marcus, how many times have I asked you not to call me Nilla?"

The mage shrugged. "You smell like cookies."

"That’s not something that a man wants to hear. And now the Lady Rae is looking at me like she would like to taste me."

Karl shrugged. "She probably does. Cookies and blood isn’t a terrible combination."

The vampire laughed and shook his head. "You guys are the good kind of weird.

My name is Naxxaramous Orovious Dante, Totem Ranked Druid from the Dante Vampire Lineage."

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Naxxaramous Orovious Dante. I too shall call you Nilla." Rae replied, then grabbed his hand and the coffee from Cindy.

"Come along, we have wonderful things to do today."

The man was clearly confused, and a bit afraid that he was about to be taken to a private place and killed, but the others were laughing, so he had some hope that his Guild Alliance wouldn’t do that to him.

"Somehow, I should have known that the spider and the vampire would be instant friends. We should all be getting back inside, though. There is planning to be done, and the boss wants all the Totem Ranked and higher members to be involved." Cindy explained.

Karl nodded. "It’s best to have everyone on board for the planning phase of what I’m assuming is a business venture. With the fees that they took to enter the dungeon, I know it’s not cheap living here, and even the coffees were on an entirely different price scale than I was used to in Drodh."

The group broke up, and Karl returned to the Manor, then went to the basement to head for Drodh, so he could visit with the crafters there.

"Abbies, would you kindly make us some tea? I believe that the City Governor requires refreshment." Karl instructed.

"Of course, Guild Leader." The three demons replied in unison.

But they sent Mick out with the tea, as Karl and the Governor were still standing in the shop, which was looking somewhat bare to Karl.

He would have to remind them to keep the shelves stocked before they set items for export.

"Mister Karl, it’s a pleasure to see you again. I had heard that you made it to the Totem Rank, but seeing it in person is quite something." Governor Shin declared, extending his hand to Karl.

Karl shook his hand and gave the Governor a friendly pat on the shoulder.

"A lot has happened since I left to go please the Dragon Gods. Would you prefer to sit inside or outside? We have a lot to discuss."

Governor Shin flexed his wings and tapped his chin. "Outside, I think. The benches in the backyard by the statue would be private enough with a sound barrier over them."
