The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 The World Dragon's Luck

The whole group, minus Sergeant Rita, was seated at the same table, with Brother Choi and two Church Guards, who Karl hadn't seen before.

"I take it that you two are the evening shift? My apologies for the trouble." Karl greeted them.

The guards smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything as they waited for the meal to begin.

The process here was a bit different from the Seminary Academy, as everyone here was already graduated and working, so they only waited for the staff to bring the meal, and then someone rang a bell and everyone began to eat.

Karl realized quickly that the Guards on duty were not supposed to speak, as they simply gestured to be passed items from the table, instead of asking. If they had been able to speak to anyone, it would have made sense to just ask Brother Choi for what was closest to him, but it all worked smoothly enough, as the other Clerics knew the routine already.

There was no ritual packing of the rice balls at the end of the meal. Instead, the few leftovers that came from the tables would be kept for snacks, and whatever wasn't served to the tables would be distributed to the needy citizens of the Capital.

They were led back up to their rooms after dinner, and Karl prepared to spend the night in meditation and focusing to build up the energy focus in the three spaces.

It was a bit embarrassing to admit that he had entirely skipped the first step that the Monks would have taken, and that it had caused him to hit a dead end in his growth, but he would have it sorted out soon enough, and from there, hopefully the beasts would be able to reach their full potential.

There wasn't much to do in the Cathedral in the evening. Only the major areas had lights, and the rest of the building kept their schedule from sunup to sundown. The Cathedral was primarily a working church, so the daily visitors were the vast majority of the workload, and it was only on a full or new moon that anyone would come to worship at night.

That made the sleeping quarters nearly as silent as the meditation room when Karl settled in for the evening, and allowed him to focus on building the energy cores right until the first rays of sunlight hit his face in the morning.

He couldn't say that he was well rested, but the act of meditation did refresh the mind to some degree. Fortunately, he had [Refreshing Lightning] to soothe everything else away and leave him ready to face the day after a long shower.

Dana stepped up on one side of him, and Karl tucked an arm around her shoulders. Lotus did the same thing on the other side, and giggled as Karl did the same, while she was silently mouthing the word "Spider" over and over until Karl relented and called out Rae to play with her friend.

The two of them took off out a window, leaving the guards staring at them in shock, but they didn't go far. They were just in the trees outside, still clearly visible from the hallway, playing in the branches.

Brother Choi walked over to see what the commotion was about.

"Nature Priests, you never really get used to them. Where did she find a Bloodbath Spider?" He wondered.

"Rae is one of mine. They became good friends while we were hunting." Karl explained.

The Monk nodded. "That makes sense. Beast Master and Nature Priest are even more of a natural choice than Druid and Nature Priest. Those two are too similar, their little differences always seem to cause friction."

Karl shifted to hold Dana's hand as they made their way to breakfast, and Rae returned to her space after returning Lotus to the hallway a few seconds later. He suspected that they had been yelled at by the guards, but Lotus didn't seem like the sort that took it too personally if she got in a little trouble for reinterpreting rules.

They were met at the table by two High Priests today, an older man and a younger, who took the seats of the relieved looking Church Guards, who went to eat with their comrades. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
