Chapter 1262: Easy Money
With the interruption by Karl, the conversation about fluff versus feathers was quickly derailed, and the healer was brought back upstairs to prepare for their departure.
“Don’t look so excited to be going to work.” The Guild Master joked as the annoyed Werebear came upstairs with Karl.
Lotus and Ophelia were right behind, but they headed for their room to get prepared for an outing into the Overlord Rank Dungeon.
“We were having a good conversation. But it is time. Has everyone been briefed on the dungeon?” The healer asked.
“Indeed.” The Dwarf got to his feet just as a pair of blue dragons ran into the room.
“Wait, before they go, I don’t suppose that the Darklight Host’s experts have the new Golem Spells ready for the Library?” One of them panted, out of shape from spending his life in the Library.
Dana smirked as she realized it was the same one who had been beside her in the crowd the day before. He was a mage, and an Inscriptionist.
The perfect victim.
Her thoughts made Karl smile. The beasts were turning the Dana Mage into one of them already.
Even Thor agreed it was best to make the dragons do all the writing.
Karl gave the mage a benevolent smile, and then placed a hand on his head, as if he was blessing the dragon.
{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Greater Golem] will be transferred to the hapless Librarian Duke.
{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Epic Golem] will be transferred to the hapless Librarian Duke.
{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Golem Duplication] will be transferred to the hapless Librarian Duke.
{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Refreshing Lightning Barrier] will be transferred to the hapless Librarian Duke.
“There you go. I didn’t have an opportunity to write them out, but you can do it for the Library.
We’ve signed an agreement with the Blue Dragons already, the standard ten percent royalties on all future copies of the books that we donated, so I do hope that you will work hard for our benefit.
The last one they already have, but it’s very restrictive, mostly Blue Dragon exclusive. Consider it a delivery fee paid for your service in writing the hard copies.” Karl announced, as the dragon simply stood and stared at him in stunned silence.
Golem Duplication and Epic Golem were also likely to have massive restrictions on them as well, but Karl would let the dragons find that out for themselves once they had the copies made.
He had given them the knowledge. After that, it was no longer his problem.
“Now, should we head out?”
“You broke the dragon.” The Dwarven Guild Leader joked.
Dana smirked. “That happens fairly often, actually. He will recover. Oh, I think he’s in the class advancement screen. That’s why he’s not moving at all.”
That made the Dwarf stop. Nobody wanted to miss the event when a high-ranking mage advanced. The new class could be something exceptional, and if Karl really had taught him Golem related skills, then it might be a Golem Specialist class that had been unlocked, and that would be a huge benefit to his Guild.
Assuming that they had similar luck in activating it on more mages.
After nearly five minutes, the blue dragon was back in reality with a huge smile on his face.
“I got the Library Guardian class!” He announced proudly.
The room went silent as everyone simply stared at him, questioning the life choices that had led the dragon to this point.
“What? No, it’s actually spectacular. It’s blue dragon exclusive, and it gives me a bunch of Golem and defensive barrier exclusive buffs, as well as the option to get the Gargoyle spell further up the skill tree.
It’s not just good in the Library, I will also be very strong in combat, so I’m not slacking off on my duties to the Guild.” He insisted.
His excitement made the gathered Alliance Members laugh, and one of the maids brought him over a celebratory cupcake with a lit candle on top.
He looked like he was going to question the choice, but eventually blew out the candle and ate the cupcake, before his eyes went wide in shock at the flavour and energy content.
The cupcakes were all made with Mystic Cooking, and were an Overlord Ranked recovery item, created by Lotus.
The dwarf pointed out the door. “We need to get going, or we will never leave at this rate. The dragons can ask their questions after we return. Don’t forget to make copies of those books for your partner, so they can copy them.”
Dana laughed as she made her escape. That dragon had countless reports to write. Not only had he gotten all the skills, he had unlocked a rare class. The Librarians would have a field day with all that data, especially coming from one of their own, and not secondhand.
But they had fulfilled their promise, and had given the Blue Dragons all the Golem spells to copy and distribute.
The berserker laughed as they left the Alliance House. “The look on the dragon’s face when he got that new Golem Spell. Priceless. I need a recording skill so that I can keep those memories for later.”
Dana winked at him. “Supreme Lady Matilda has one that makes a painting of a moment in time that’s almost photo realistic. I’m sure that the spell you want does exist. The real question is if a Berserker can use it.”
That made him chuckle. “Perhaps if I convince myself it’s for making battle videos and not for laughing at confused dragons? Fighting happens way more often than someone manages to startle a dragon at our Rank.”
Their healer, the Werebear Shaman, huffed in amusement. “It’s not difficult to startle and shock the young ones, though. There is a young Forest Dragon living at the Darklight Host house, and she is curious about everything.”
The big berserker shook his wings in a shrug. “The young of every species are curious. But Forest Dragons are odd ones. They’re a bit too Fae, and it makes them want to play all day long.
Not like the Chromatic Dragons, who have the guidance of their patron deity to keep them on track.”
That was an excellent description of Button. But it was also a good description of Lotus, and she had the guidance of the Green Dragon. Karl thought that it was more of an affinity for the Nature Gods’ than a lack of direction that made them flaky.
“Alright, we will have to take the portal platform, the dungeon is across town. No need to walk the whole distance.” The Dwarf declared.
Zilaz had formed around the Dungeons near the shore of the lake, and the urban sprawl was very real. It was nearly thirty kilometres to the Dungeon for the day.
