Chapter 2120: Shared Use Plan

Karl sensed the arrival of Ashbringer in to the Tiny World, and assumed that there was something important about the order that he had just sent the Demon, so he headed over the moment that he was free of meetings.

"Ashbringer, welcome back. What brings you in? Was there a problem with the design? The Church said that they had others made to that exact pattern, so I didn’t think that it would be an issue," Karl greeted him.

"The issue is, that mortals can’t work that material without stripping the holy energy, and we can’t put Immortal Holy Energy back in, because mortal Holy Power is mana based.

It’s simply not possible for us to do that job."

Karl sighed as Ashbringer held nothing back.

"Damn, and it was such a good plan. I was hoping the higher grade materials would help more of the workers and sculptors in the Drodh Guild House advance. They do such a good job with the Immortal Rank mana stone, and this shares the same basic structure."

Ashbringer looked at Karl as if he was crazy. "This is not the same at all. Even if mana stone is an ingredient in whatever recipe was used to make this, it’s not the same thing."

"Well, then I guess that one is out. It was such a good plan too.

Hi Wendy. Have you been getting all the reports on new magic I send to Sapphire?"

The little demon giggled. "Indeed I have. I work in the Library now, cleaning and organizing books. So, I have lots of time to study new magic when I’m not working on my Runecrafting."

Ashbringer nodded. "Sapphire set a schedule for her, so she doesn’t forget to sleep."

That was a real danger with Wendy. She was even worse than Karl for getting lost in a research project and forgetting that she had other things to do.

Karl smiled at her, and then poked her forehead.

{Pet Sitter Karl Grants Knowledge} Skill [Epic Golem] will be transferred to the voracious reader Wendy.

The little demon grabbed him around the waist in a hug as she cheered.

"Yes, that is the perfect spell. I am going to do so many wonderful things with it. Now, I just need to meet more compatible boss monsters, so that I can get them all. You have so many options, but I’ve only been in a few dungeons."

Ashbringer smiled. "And that brings us to my next question. We would like to move some of our more powerful members into the Tiny World to help them advance. You say that the mortal mana here isn’t what it used to be, but it’s still much stronger than even what we have in Drodh Guild House with the gathering array you left behind."

Karl shrugged. "There is plenty of room to work. We’ve got smithy stations, carving stations, rune tables and inscription desks, plus the alchemy labs. If you want to send people over, I don’t see an issue.

We can always expand if there is crowding, but I think that we made all the spaces large enough. It should also help your teams learn a few new recipes.

Well, maybe not your smiths.

We only have a few people with Divine Smithing skills, and they’re both newer smiths, not lifelong ones like you and the Dwarves. So, you might actually be able to teach Tian a few things about the craft, even if he’s got advanced skills."

Ashbringer frowned. "Did you just say that Tian, the fluffy little ball of white fur, Tian, is a blacksmith?"

Karl nodded. "It’s well aligned to his earth and holy magic. Though he did actually start using his transformation skills when he started working, so that he didn’t get forge soot and ash in his fur."

Wendy giggled, while Ashbringer gave a full chested laugh at the thought of Tian’s outrage about dirty fur.

Everyone knew he was a clean freak.

"Can you show me to the forges? I know that my people can’t do the work this time, the material makes it impossible. But if we can keep working here, then our Mythic and Totem Ranked smiths should be able to make some real progress.

I see that nearly everyone here is Immortal now, which has been a bit of an issue for us, as we’re short on people to send to Zilaz to the dungeons.

But other than that, all has been going well.

Karl patted the big demon on the shoulder. "That is wonderful news. Of course, I’ll show you the forges. Plus, we have a training tower here, where we can help your Totem Ranked members level up. If they can push to Mythic, then your branch won’t be short on members for Zilaz anymore.

Though, we should likely do the Overlords as well, right? So that you don’t just run out of Totems?"

That made Ashbringer laugh. "Running out of Totems because we have too may Mythic fighters is a good problem to have. I don’t think that anyone will complain, but if the Tiny World is open to us mere mortals, of course we will take full advantage."

Karl rolled his eyes. "Why wouldn’t it be? I was your branch leader when I made it, and the door is not just unlocked, but open at all times. Make yourselves at home, and ask Lala if she’s got any new recipes that she wants you to test.

Not this Lala, of course, she’s not a cook. But Lotus is.

We have new magical plants here, both advanced from lesser species and hybridized in the Tiny World. So, there are plenty of new things to test out, and some of them could have huge effects on mortals."

Wendy stared longingly at Lotus, who winked at her.

They were both on restricted snacks, because they would just snack all day, possibly while reading, if they were not stopped. But if it was for a good cause, nobody could complain. Plus, Wendy was growing fast, and if she could get a good push, she might even be able to become an Overlord.

Okay, that was a stretch, as she had only just reached the peak of Royal Rank, but a girl could dream.
