The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1096: Adorable Demon

Raj laughed at Wendy’s expression, then looked up at Hugo for an explanation.

“Who might this tiny agent of chaos be?” He asked.

Hugo patted Wendy on the head, and the girl smiled as she returned all the shopping to her storage items.

“This is Miss Wendy, the delivery agent for the Darklight Host. She has all the common items that the Guilds requested to be delivered from Drodh, and the Darklight Host will message you later with the total.” Hugo explained.

Raj chuckled, as all the items were Commander Rank or lower. The total would literally be pocket change for a Mythic Raid team member.

Wendy smiled and handed Guild Leader Raj a piece of paper with a number on it.

“That’s the total, per customer order, so you can collect it from your Guild members.”

Now he couldn’t resist, and pulled the small mage into a hug.

“You are absolutely adorable. Here you go, payment for the order, and you can keep the change as a delivery fee.” He insisted, passing a small bag of coins into her hands.

“Just place the orders along the wall in the main room, so everyone can come get their orders.” He added as Wendy laughed and pocketed the money.

Doing deliveries was a lucrative trade. Plus, there was new magic everywhere.

Wendy was swarmed by Guild Members as she set out the orders, but nobody tried to interfere with her work.

“You forgot to order the good soap.” One of the warriors joked.

The man beside him held up a stick of descenting deodorant. “I did one better. It’s on the out-of-stock list from the Guild House, but they managed to find me one for the order.”

One of the others sighed as he opened his bag. “Damn, not everything on backorder made this shipment. How often are the deliveries coming?”

“Once a week is the schedule for now. If it gets too busy, we might be able to come twice a week and still get most of the items.” Wendy informed him.

A female Cleric of the White Dragon came over and ducked to give Wendy a hug.

“The Darklight Host are devious geniuses. Sending this girl to do the deliveries, how could we be mad even if the orders were wrong?”

Wendy giggled, then took out a small wooden token with a hole for hanging it as a necklace charm. Then she wrote the rune for ’lucky in love’ on one side and empowered it to the Commander Rank, the strongest she could.

“For you, lovely Priestess.”

The Cleric stared at it for a moment, then took the talisman from her.

“What sort of skill is that?” She asked.

“Runecrafting, of course. Though I am not at the level of the Karl. He’s way better, but that’s only one rune, so it’s easy to get right. It’s for good luck.” Wendy explained.

The Cleric held the simple wooden disc in her hands, just now realizing that it held an incredible value, as only a handful of crafters on the entire continent could manage what this young girl had given her.

“Can we keep her?” The Cleric asked, looking at Hugo.

The big mage laughed. “No, she’s already a full Guild member. But I’m sure you can convince her to visit more often. Perhaps after she finishes visiting my Guild’s Library. We have quite a few obscure magical tomes.”

Wendy’s eyes lit up. “Magical tomes?”

Raj’s Guild Mates chuckled. The pure innocence of this tiny demon was impossible to resist. There was no question that the Guilds would likely try to poach her from the Darklight Host in the future.

Just not yet.

As she was still only a Commander, it would be hard to find a proper spot for her. Their Guilds were already full, and someone would have to be ejected if they wanted to actually make her a member.

But in the meantime, they could build goodwill.

“Lots of them. But first we need to run off and do the rest of the deliveries. Miss Wendy will be back next week.” Hugo added.

“Oh, right. Raj, talk to Karl when you get a moment. He should have a suit of armour ready for you soon.”

Raj practically sprinted out of the house as Hugo and Wendy discussed magical theory on their way to the next Guild Manor. While Wendy wasn’t technically an Obsession Demon, the big mage was beginning to discover just what it meant for a Demon to share an interest in their favourite topic.

Wendy already knew more about the fundamentals of magic than most of the mages in his Guild did, even if they had a wider variety of spells and far greater power.

If anything, she should likely be rerouted away from combat pursuits and towards magical research, using her Runecrafting skills to attempt to forge new skill books. Once the first one was written, the Inscriptionists could duplicate it.

The problem was the first one.

In theory, every skill could be turned into a functional skill book. But for some reason, very few of them ever were. Either because the ones who could use them weren’t the same people as the ones who could make the books, or simply because it was just too difficult.

The knowledge of how to create a truly unique Skill Book was lost before recorded history.

Hugo planned to bring that up once they were in the Library, where she was surrounded by knowledge. The Darklight Host was already in their Guild Alliance, and it didn’t matter how powerful an Inscriptionist was.

Only that they could make the books.

It might not be practical to recruit this adorable mage yet, but he could help her build a base of skills as well as a stronger bond to his Guild.

They went to the other Warrior led Guilds next, so that Hugo could inform them that Karl had armour incoming, and Wendy managed to charm the mages and clerics at all of them. To the point that Hugo was beginning to wonder if she had some sort of passive skill equivalent to [Fox Charm].

Darklight Host members were all a bit strange. He wouldn’t put it past Karl to have taught her one.
