The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Bad Navigators

With the meeting finished, the group was escorted back to the main building by one of the younger students, who had a bit of wisdom to share with them.

"Breakfast is a half hour before full dawn. So, as soon as it starts to get light outside, the bells will ring, and everyone will be up and beginning their day. I don't know when you will be picked up to return to your Academy, but if they're sending you on the train, it's about an hour after dawn, as it arrives just after breakfast." The boy informed them.

"So what you're saying is 'don't stay up too late'?" Karl asked.

"Exactly. Many of us have considered sleeping in when we don't have morning chores, but those bells make it impossible. A few of you might manage, but we're all so well conditioned now that it is impossible." The boy explained.

One of the warriors smiled at the younger boy. "Were they afraid that we wouldn't be able to find our way back? The building is right there."

That made the student laugh. "Oh, it's not for this part. You see, the inside of the main floor was designed during an age of strife, and it is designed to confuse breaching enemies. If you're not familiar with the layout, it can be nearly impossible to end up anywhere but the main halls."

The warrior chuckled. "Which is great for students. Since that's where the food is."

"Precisely. It's why we didn't bother to give you a tour. Because it just encourages people to get lost in the corridors, and then we have to go find them. Though the building is only a few hundred metres wide, the main floor has over four kilometres of winding hallways.

I suspect that the area between the kitchen and the student dorms is actually a labyrinth with fake doors, but I can't prove it. There is no properly drawn map of the building, since we all grew up here, except for the Serum Clerics.

But they start out with magic and rank, so they never live this far back in the Seminary. Plus, they automatically know the whole set of holy books for their patron, like memorized word for word, which is completely unfair."

Karl could only imagine the hours that a student expected to be an expert on theology when there were Six Major Gods, plus the Chromatic Divine Dragons, and the Beast Gods, and who knew how many others that nobody followed anymore.

Karl barely remembered the basics of the World Dragon's teachings, since they followed it here in the Golden Dragon Nation. But the clerics knew them all.

As the boy had said, the corridor was definitely suspicious, and Karl realized quickly that it was not straight, nor was it level. It seemed that way at first, but by the time that they had walked for a full minute, Karl was certain that they were no longer on the same level as they had been.

Rae had an excellent sense of spatial awareness to help her locate anything that had disturbed her web, and some of that had passed to Karl.

But he led them around the corner, and the first thing they saw was Overlord Drake, sipping coffee and looking out the window. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
