The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1133: Master Hassan

The forges weren’t actually different. They were all the same, except for their position within the workspace.

At least for now.

“Before we start with the forge upgrade, I have a question for you. How would you like to join the Darklight Host?” Karl asked.

Hassan frowned and took out a carved stone pipe to take a long drag.

“Becoming a proper Guild Member at my age? I suppose there might be advantages. Being in the Guild will also let me access the Guild Storage, and I’m too old to be lugging raw materials across the forge, even if there is a conveyor from the storage room.

Alright, I will accept your offer, Guild Leader Karl of the Darklight Host.”

{Guild Member added} Hassan Petros

{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Dwarven Runeforging] will be transferred to the prematurely balding Hassan.

The Dwarf glared at his notifications.

“Why the hell did you have to bring that up? I’m older than Slate is by ten whole years.” He grumbled.

“The messages are actually set by the System, I don’t get any input into them. But now that you’re in the Guild, you can just grab a jar of hair growth cream and work on your hairline.” Karl suggested.

Hassan chuckled. “It’s all because of my slow childhood growth. I thought that I could do things better my own way, and I didn’t make it to Royal Rank before I was getting old. Then, I gave in and made it to Overlord and finally Totem, but my youth was long gone, even with the extended lifespan.”

“Well, now you don’t need to look like the old man anymore. At least not in the beard. But before you go off on a fashion journey, what do you want me to do with your forge?” Karl asked.

“I specialize in Earth Magic, so if you can add some deep earth element to the runes on the forge fire, I think that might be best for my work.” Hassan offered.

Karl thought about it. “What about a lava forge? I’ve seen the Demons using them, made of superheated stone. With runes, there is no reason that I can’t make a Totem Ranked lava forge, which can be hot enough to melt anything you want to work with.”

“Oh, now that sounds interesting. Alright, let’s go with that.”

Karl began writing the runes, including the spell inscriptions for Ghostfire and Earth Manipulation, onto the forge. It wasn’t a quick process, but when he was finished, the space was a masterpiece, completely covered in black runes.

It seemed to ooze darkness until the forge was activated, then the deep red glow of the forge, flickering with blue Ghostfire flames, lit up the room.

Hassan didn’t say anything, he simply took a block of Mythril from his storage and tossed it into the Totem Ranked crucible.

He worked the bellows, forcing air through the works, and nodded as the crucible began to glow and the metal softened. That was perfect for what he needed. But he didn’t need liquid Mythril, so he pulled it with the tongs and began working on an axe head.

“I will let you work. Don’t forget your new Runic skills. Once the weapon is nearly finished, you’re in for a real treat.” Karl announced, then stepped back from the forge.

“Yes, yes. See you soon.”

The Dwarf was already lost in his work, so Karl began to work his way down the line, stopping at each occupied forge to give them the runes they needed.

Unlike Master Hassan, the others simply wanted what they called “A Proper Dwarven Forge Fire.” Just Totem Ranked forge fire. They would add all the bonuses to the items themselves, while keeping the forge itself as a neutral factor that didn’t add or remove from any other effects they wanted.

That was the great downfall of a specialty forge. You could only make certain types of items with a heavily elemental forge. Like Ashbringer, and his Demonic limitations, Master Hassan would only be able to make a few types of armour and weapons at that particular forge.

But that was enough for him.

It took until late evening to get everything sorted and all the forges operational, including the unused ones that they didn’t currently have a Blacksmith assigned to.

But it revealed a small oversight on his part.

They had forgotten to get the Dwarves to pick an actual home before they got too deep into their work to care about anything else.

That was easy enough to fix, though.

He just put up a map of the work area in the tavern with a signup sheet for housing. It was included in their work contract, or in the case of Master Hassan, his Guild bonuses.

Later, Karl would ask the others if they also wanted to join, but he also hadn’t offered them the bonus skill yet. They could learn of its value from Master Hassan.

He had enough excitement for the day, and just wanted to find his Dana to cuddle up with and have a nap.

Karl found her in their room in the Zilaz house, eating snacks while helping Rae ’decorate the bunnies’. The crafters had a day off coming up, and they wanted new fashion to go out into the city that marked them as Darklight Host Guild members, but which looked good enough for a day out on the town.

The issue was that Rae wanted to dress the bunnies like Princesses, and the bunnies wanted to wear something sexy.

Karl was inclined to side with Rae. The bunnies personalities were far too innocent for the sorts of outfits that they wanted. But he did recall something about the Bunnies worshipping the Goddess of Fertility.

“What about a compromise? Rae, can you make what I’m thinking of?” Karl suggested.

He focused on the image, and Rae gave him a concerned look. But she made the dress, which was not only shorter in the hem than what Rae had wanted, but also had transparent silk panels up the sides, showing most of her belly, and a fair bit of side boob.

Dana gave Karl the same look that Rae had, and mouthed the words {No sexualizing the bunnies}. However, the other three were all gushing about how amazing their friend looked.

“The bunny god is a fertility god. As I understand it, they don’t like wearing too much clothing unless it’s a work uniform. This is a good compromise. They’re still adorable, but not all covered up.” Karl explained.

Rae looked over the effect, then added stockings with little red bows that matched the colour of Lala’s eyes, and tied a silk bow in her hair.

That was better.

But Dana just thought that it looked like Rae had gift wrapped the bunny for someone.

Lala loved it.
