The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1156: Winter Social Parade

The Guild had already heard their conversation, as neither Rae nor Nilla was trying to be quiet. Even Dana and Karl had come out across the street to see the show.

They were actually making sure that Rae wasn’t abducting the vampire against his will, but from her perspective, it looked the same.

“Everyone, the Vampire Druid tank, Naxxaramous Orovious Dante, has advanced his class today.

He is now a Forest Guardian.

One of his new Class Skills is a Forest Guardian. We are now accepting guesses and wagers on what it will come out looking like.” Rae declared, loudly enough to be heard over the crowd.

The crowd cheered for him, as a Totem Ranked Tank advancing was a big deal.

Especially when it was an advancement from Druid.

Karl waited for the guessing game to end while Dana played with the ring on her finger. She had transformed into Fox beastkin form today, and the ring felt strange on her hand, though it still fit perfectly.

She wasn’t originally going to go out as anything but human. But the dress looked so much better against her fox fur that she couldn’t resist.

“Alright, we have our guesses. Now, Nilla, please show us the Guardian Spirit!” Rae shouted.

“She’s a surprisingly effective hype person.” Dana laughed as Rae made a theatrical reveal gesture toward the vampire.

“Right? Who knew that was part of her skill set?” Karl agreed.

“And the winner is … BEARS!” Rae called as a massive red ethereal bear appeared beside the vampire.

Karl was reasonably sure that was not the natural state of a Spirit Guardian, but as he was a vampire, it had been altered by his affinity for blood.

It was definitely impressive, though.

Dana laughed. “You know, we can do the same thing for you and Rae when you reveal your Greater Golems for the first time.”

Karl chuckled. “You know that Rae’s are going to be bigger, better spiders.”

He had a point.

Rae would be very disappointed if her extra Golems were not spiders.

The entire population of the Zilaz Guild House came out to join them, and Karl led the procession out of the house to join the gathering in the market, where the first selections for the day’s fashion shows would be held.

The other guilds quickly joined them, as everyone was preparing to head out anyhow.

It made for a truly impressive group, nearly a thousand strong, all walking together, with most of them in Overlord and Totem Ranked formal wear, and exquisitely made accessories.

They were attracting attention with every step, and people were coming out of the stores to stare at them, as if the Guild Alliance was a parade.

In a way, they were, Karl decided.

They were almost all wearing something made by Rae, with accessories that the Darklight Host had enchanted. So, they were basically a walking billboard, or a parade of trade goods.

“Look at that. They’ve done up the whole Alliance for the show. Even the staff members are wearing luxury dresses. And trade skill accessories.”

“What the hell?”

“What sort of Guild Alliance is that?”

Karl chuckled as he heard the spectators gossiping about the Alliance.

The first thing that he had all the Runecrafters do was make something for themselves. But the most popular items from Drodh were the utility items, and that included cooking, cleaning, and other basic tasks.

But those weren’t items that a normal guild would have here.

So, seeing all the simple magical rings on the Royal Ranked staff members of the other Guilds was a shock. They couldn’t be combat members, there were no Dungeons here for them to fight in, and no wild monsters of their rank.

So, the accessories had to be profession related.

A few of the members had even decided to show off a little extra, and they had unequipped items that they were wearing, to use them as a show of wealth.

With the item worn openly and not equipped, anyone with basic identification skills could see what Stats it had.

Here, where the System was nearly fully active, that meant everyone.

It didn’t take long for the crowd to recognize that all of the displayed items were made by the same person, and that the person in question was standing with the Guild Alliance, escorting a team from his Guild in exquisite fashion through the city.

“Damn, the Nara Group managed to get an actual crafting Guild on their side. The next round of challenges are going to be brutal.” One of the other Myths sighed.

“I heard a rumour that they’re changing things next year. Perhaps they’ll cap it so that a few of the big guilds don’t get all the best dungeons?” One of the others, a white dragon cleric, suggested hopefully.

The warriors laughed. They couldn’t see the King caring enough about what they were doing here on the shores to do that. All that really mattered to him was that people kept coming, and the money kept flowing.

If you didn’t try to take a dungeon entirely off the market, he wouldn’t care.

“Well, if they don’t, I can guarantee that the Nara Group is getting at least one or two extra Dungeons. In a duel, both Hugo and Deve are monsters. If they’re fully decked out in custom tailored Epic gear, they can definitely snag an extra victory.” The warrior retorted.

Karl smiled as he heard the news. He already knew that would not be an issue this year.

The formal announcement was going to be during the festivities tonight, when the King of Sholaha came to greet the people and give them a blessing for the upcoming year.

Hugo led the column through the city, showing off at all the best spots so that they could say that they were seen, and then join the party. But they didn’t even have to finish their tour to get noticed.

“Miss, would you and your partner be interested in joining the judging? We have a category for most stylish Gothic outfits, and I believe you would both be contenders.” A woman with a clipboard asked.

Rae grabbed Nilla and pushed him forward, almost moving him out from under his umbrella as he flailed to keep his balance.

“Of course we will join the judging. The world needs to see this fashion.” Rae agreed.

“Might I get your names?” The volunteer asked.

“Naxxaramous Orovious Dante, and Rae Bloodbath.” Rae replied.

The volunteer froze. “Did you say Dante and Bloodbath?”

Rae nodded happily. “That is us. Easy to remember.”
