The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 How To Choose

Karl realized that he hadn't even noticed that someone had sat down next to him, and gave the young woman who had been introduced as a Priestess of the Nature God a tentative smile. She smiled back, a truly happy expression, but Karl noticed that under the smell of soap and flowers, there was a coppery note of blood lingering around her.

He must have made some expression as the woman gave a soft laugh and patted him on the shoulder.

"Betty is the same way, she can smell the blood as well. I am a midwife, and there was a birth last night, or technically this morning, at the hospital on the grounds. To everyone else, I should just smell like hospital soap, but for those like the Dragon Priestesses and some really sensitive Rangers and Druids, I tend to smell like blood and babies." She explained quietly. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

"My apologies, I didn't mean to offend. I was just a bit startled when I smelled fresh blood here inside the Seminary Academy. When there is a lot of it, the smell lingers more than if there is only a scratch. I do hope the young mother is alright." Karl whispered back.

"Here, in the Seminary Academy Hospital? We haven't lost a mother during childbirth in most of a decade. Not all the children can be saved, but with magic, the actual childbirth process is much safer." She replied happily.

Sister Betty stared at the trays of food waiting at the edge of the room for the Matron to enter.

"As you can see, on the outside, we're all the Golden Dragon Church. On the inside, we all have our specialties. So don't go falling for those hussies who just want some outdoor adventures, you need to make sure that you're getting a cleric that can handle the task that you need them to.

I would say that you should pick one of those newly awakened World Dragon Clerics, but it will be years before they're allowed to play unsupervised, and you're already much stronger than they are.

The Cleric doesn't have to be the strongest Awakened on your team, but it helps if they can take a punch." She whispered.

[Yeah because you should always eat the healers and magic users first. Then watch the rest panic and despair as they're trapped in the web.] Rae added wistfully, not realizing how her spider instinct still made her sound like an edgy teen human.

"You are smiling at something. Do you hear your beasts in your mind?" The Life Priestess asked.

"I do. Rae, the Bloodbath Spider, said that it's common sense to target the healers and magic users first, because the others won't be able to get themselves free of the web." Karl replied.

The Priestess shuddered at the thought, while the Priest of the Magic God looked horrified. But Sister Betty grunted in agreement. That was part of the reason she put so much effort into her fighting skills.

[I like the dragon lady. Ask if we can polish her scales later.] Thor suggested.

Karl choked on his water as the Lightning Cerro's voice entered his mind, and Betty smiled.
