The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1187

Chapter 1187: Send Them To Her

“Do you have cooking utensils? If not, I can make some for you.” Karl offered.

The Elves looked around the camp, then frowned.

“None big enough to cook for everyone.”

Karl smiled and let Tian use Earth Manipulation to make a pair of giant metal pots.

“Those should be suitable. Here, take this ring as well, it makes water. You can use mana, right?”

The old man who had come to get the bags winked at Karl. “We might be in bad shape, but we’re still Elves. I can use enough magic to make water to boil rice.

But the Giants killed all our actual mages and Clerics, so we don’t have anyone who can make food. With the forest destroyed, it’s been hard to find anything at all.”

The old woman sighed, and nodded. “Just over a thousand years ago, the Titan Gods declared a holy war on the continent. With their Immortal Lords suppressing the mana on the planet, we couldn’t even fight back. They started in the middle of the continent, somewhere near Sallo Lake.

That wasn’t Giant territory before the war, I don’t know where they came from. But as the war started, it became harder for our mages to use grand magics every day. It took them a hundred years to make their way across the continent, and the old civilizations collapsed under their relentless assaults.

Then, they retreated to the lake, and made the centre of the continent into their new nation.

But they still send armies around the continent, looking for anyone trying to repair what they broke. They steal people sometimes, but I’m told that there are no slaves in the Giant cities, so they’re probably eating them.

Savages, they are.

But what brings you here?”

Karl patted her on the shoulder. “Supreme Lady Matilda, the Chaos Dragon Elder of the Darklight Host, asked me to come here and find out what was messing with the continent’s access to the System.

We have found that it’s mostly just magic that is restricted, as we managed to restore system access to a few warriors.

Once I find the source of the problem, I will either fix it or call the Supreme Lady to deal with it for me.”

“The Ancient Chaos troubled herself over us?” A middle-aged Elf asked.

Karl nodded. “She is awake again, and your situation intrigued her because it’s not right. Anything not right, and not influenced by Chaos, is new and interesting to her. So, she sent me to go deal with it, while she takes care of her usual tasks in the Dragon Isles.”

The elderly Elf sitting next to Karl smiled. “Is she actually doing something?”

Karl patted her on the shoulder. “It doesn’t look like it, but she prevents all the attempts by the Immortal Realm to enter this world and claim the people as slaves.

Perhaps learning Mystic Cooking would be good for him, as it encouraged developing new mixtures of ingredients to improve food.

The Elves used their innate Nature Magic to help cook the food faster, and probably improve the taste with limited ingredients, which had them all eating less than thirty minutes later.

Karl got the impression that they were actually rushing through the meal on the hope that they could finish before he changed his mind and didn’t bring them back to Cyhosasa.

But he could use Portals, and it wasn’t a big deal to just send them directly to Matilda.

Once they were finished, the elves packed up their camp, which looked like they had practiced the process dozens of times before. They had clearly been here for some time, but within ten minutes, everything was loaded into packs or on to narrow wagons and ready to move on.

“Alright, I will put you near the Supreme Lady. She’s a Guild Member of mine, so I can target her, but I’m not sure where she’s standing.

Actually, that’s probably not a great idea.

I haven’t been to Cyhosasa to drop you there directly, but I can bring you to Drodh, on the Dragon Isles, and have one of our members forward you from there.” Karl explained.

Sending them directly to the Supreme Lady had sounded easy, in theory. But once it had occurred to him that she might not be at home, and he might dump the Elves on the wrong continent, or even in the Chaos Plane, the idea seemed much less appealing.

He should probably go visit her in person, in case this happened again.
