The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1125: City Leaders

As they stepped outside, all of Karl’s other guesses about whom the visitor might be arrived at once. Domesk, Rashid and Jones all followed them around the back of the house, and Jones erected a privacy spell over them, while Karl inspected his Golems.

They were all Overlord Ranked, and he could certainly make better ones now. But they looked comfortable on the walls, right at home and familiar with their surroundings.

No need to change what wasn’t broken.

“First off, congratulations. Secondly, more congratulations on joining one of the Sholaha Guild Alliances. Tell me, have you managed to get a spot on one of their Dungeon teams yet?” Governor Shin asked.

Karl nodded. “Indeed. Not only have I gotten a spot, but the ladies are all Overlords now, and in high demand for large group dungeon raids. The combination of skills with multiple talented healers seems irresistible to the locals.”

The Governor nodded in agreement. “I can’t argue with that. They’re an excellently balanced group, and they don’t have three or four warriors like most others would. I swear that the imbalance of warriors has to be a cruel prank by the Gods.

But it seems to be getting better recently.

That’s not why we’re here, though.

Now that you’re a Totem Ranked resident, there are some considerations. I’m sure that you’re well aware, as you were here when Jones advanced.

Did you wish to claim a portion of the city for yourself? Or perhaps an honorary title?”

Karl shrugged. “Honorary titles are fine. I am not so interested in the management of more people than just my Guild members, and we’ve already got a Guild Villa in Zilaz as well, with more crafters being recruited.

There is a Totem Ranked blue dragon among the new arrivals, so you might be getting another powerful visitor soon.

She will be leading a large part of the training team once she’s fully settled into her new skills, but the focus will be on equipment for the Totem and Mythic Ranked adventurers in Sholaha.

The Dungeons there have terrible loot, for the most part, and the crafting skills of the Darklight Host are in high demand.

We even sold out of soap.”

The demons laughed at the complaint. The scent nullification soaps and cleansing soaps, that prevented getting dirty for the whole day, were hugely popular in the city. They were quickly becoming the Guild’s signature item, as not only wealthy adventurers could afford them, and they were used daily by an increasingly large portion of the city’s population.

The fish markets might riot if the supply stopped.

“So, if we just slap a polite title on you, that’s all you’re after?” Jones asked.

He was more aware of Karl’s personality than the others, and knew that the Monster Man really didn’t care about such things. As long as the city didn’t interfere with him and his Guild, they would just continue doing as they pleased and using Drodh as a crafting base.

Karl nodded. “We might need to recruit a few more people soon, with all the added demand. But mostly for the Drodh market. With the powerful Dungeons, Sholaha, and especially the Zilaz region along the shores, wants Overlord Ranked and higher craftsmen to make what they need.

So, for the bulk products, I might recruit another half dozen junior Alchemists. Powerful gear is best as a limited supply item, and the Immortal Regent has asked me not to go overboard with it.

So, it’s mostly the little things and housekeeping items that are in huge demand.

There are millions of people gathered around Lake Naraleddum, and with the head tax, it’s impossible for them to get affordable help. Therefore, everyone we meet wants the simple things, like rings that can clean their house in minutes.”

“So, you are looking for more staff for the Darklight Host? Well, we can’t really object to that. It’s clear that while your members don’t really live extravagant lives, they are clearly very wealthy.

We heard from Davis’ Grandmother that you give them all a share of profit on their products, and they have been buying up bulk reagents lately to supplement what they are obtaining elsewhere, or growing somewhere.” Governor Shin noted.

Karl nodded. “We are going to have to obtain either a large space for reagent farming, or trade deals for everything that we need soon. Buying them really cuts into profits, but it’s simply not viable to continue to produce all our own materials with the way that demand has grown.”

They did grow a lot of it in the illusionary city, on the roof of the Alchemy Lab, but what they needed was another [Tiny World] set up for them just to farm.

Karl’s was filling with resources already, and that was a good start, but he kept leaving the Guild House.

Karl had thought about loading them all into that copy of the Guild House, but it would be rather empty in Drodh if he did. Now that they had the Guild Alliance link in Sholaha it wasn’t so bad to move around, anyhow.

Either he or Remi could send materials back home every day, and the Tiny World was growing them at a remarkable rate.

“Perhaps a handful of farmers, druids or nature clerics as well. We need someone to tend to the resources and ensure that they are growing to their potential in the space we have.” Karl added.

Jones chuckled, as he knew what Karl meant. At Totem Rank, the Tiny World was only Tiny in comparison to an actual planet.

The amount of space inside was far larger than any farm or even a small city.

“Alright. We can find suitable applicants for you if you would like? We have connections, and we have a decent idea of what you need. Powerful, without trade skills, and suitable for either Alchemy or taking care of precious resources.” Governor Shin agreed.

“That would be wonderful. Make sure that you get ones that don’t have strong ties to family or others in the outside world, as they will be rather isolated as they work, and I will bring them back here on their days off.” Karl explained.

“Got it. No kids who need to support their families with more than money.” Jones replied, giving Karl a sly smirk.

Families who mostly needed money were the majority of people on the outskirts, outside the walls. They didn’t have the power to get decent treatment inside the city, but they could definitely live well where they were if they could just get a bit more money.
