The First Legendary Beast Master-Chapter 861: Nature And Earth

Dora led Karl to the hotel, and then looked hopefully into the fancy restaurant attached to the side.

"Meals on the road are included in the Guild Contract, right?" She asked hopefully.

Karl laughed. "Naturally. That necklace you’re wearing is worth well over ten thousand gold coins. The Guild can afford to eat well."

It was one of the finest restaurants in the town, though that wasn’t saying much for most Orcish Cities. Orcish cuisine wasn’t well known for flavours, but this spot was run by an old Elf, and Elvish food was usually incredible.

Karl handed Dora a pile of cloth, and she simply stared at it for a moment, wondering why she was holding it.

"Equip it. It’s an evening gown so that we meet the dress code for the restaurant." Karl explained as he changed to a white silk suit with a black shirt.

They walked into the hotel, and Karl gestured for a concierge to come to them. Dora looked a bit horrified, but the staff member came over with a smile.

"We require a room for the evening. Two beds, and a reservation at the restaurant. Is it possible to eat now?" Karl asked.

The concierge bowed politely. "Yes, Sir. I can arrange that for you. Staff will come to settle accounts during the apéritif."

Karl nodded, and handed the man a silver coin, then escorted Dora, who was now in a flowing black gown, to the restaurant’s host.

He quickly seated them, and asked if they preferred wine or a harder liquor, then vanished again.

"This is so exciting. His daily dinner specials are legendary." Dora whispered.

An Elf accompanied the Orcish host back to the table with a polite smile.

"My name is Oakleaf, and I will be your chef for the evening. Have either of you sampled Elven cuisine before?" He asked.

Dora shook her head, while Karl nodded. "On the Neia Continent, in the Republic of Maria, there are a number of Elven villages. Their food is most excellent."

The chef looked shocked. "You have been to Neia Continent?"

"And to the Kabtumia Continent, as it is called here. I wouldn’t say that I have travelled the entirety of either, but I did get a chance to enjoy traditional Elven cuisine in the village of Glatt."

The chef smiled happily. "Then this should be nostalgic for you. For the lady, I would like to warn you that most Elven cooking is vegan, but if you prefer meat, I am skilled in its preparation."

Dora shook her head. "I can eat anything, thank you."

The first course was some sort of nut and berry meatball in a sweet barbecue sauce, after which the concierge came in with the paperwork for the hotel and their room key. Karl signed and returned it with payment, then the server brought out a butternut squash soup.

Dora was nearly in ecstasy with the flavours, and Karl made a note to have the kitchen staff add this to the menu. They had all the ingredients, or Lotus could make them, it was just a matter of making them into a soup.

Course after course, the meal was delivered, until Karl was beginning to suspect that the half-orc was going to fall into a food coma at the table.

Then they brought out a sweet dessert cake, and Karl became quite certain that he would be carrying her to their room.

Fortunately, she was light, and after a few minutes worth of nap, she was riding a sugar high from the dessert and wide awake again.

"Feeling better now?" Karl asked as Dora groaned and held her distended stomach.

"I ate too much. So full." She mumbled, slowly getting to her feet to walk it off.

"Then how about something to take your mind off of your overindulgence?" Karl suggested, before activating [Follow Me, Little One].

"This... this is a skill? I learned a whole trade from a skill? That is incredible!"

Dora began doing a happy dance around the room, cheering and laughing. Her stomachache was completely forgotten, and her mind was fully overtaken with the possibilities that came with the [Apprentice Runesmithing] skill.

"That is what I hired you to do. There are two sculptors on the team who aren’t capable of creating materials from nothing, so they needed someone just like you to keep them stocked." Karl explained.

"Absolutely brilliant. And now I am one of them. I can make anything. Even as great as the new choker. Well, maybe not better than that, but really good."

Karl considered spinning her around the way that her mother had with Misty, but reconsidered almost immediately. She might have forgotten that she was ready to burst from overeating, but spinning her in circles might not be a great idea.

"Now, that ability transfer skill is a Guild Secret. Everyone in the Guild knows about it, but you can’t tell anyone else, not even your mom." Karl warned.

Half of Drodh likely knew about it by now, but if the other half didn’t find out, that was better than nothing.

"Got it! No telling anyone that we all learned the most amazing crafting skill with a memory transfer. But does that mean that you know this crafting skill too?" Dora asked.

"Indeed. I actually know a more advanced form of it, but it’s easier to transfer just the basics and then let the crafters advance the knowledge on their own. For one, it has far fewer restrictions on who can use it, and for two, the increase in skill level within the System comes with crafting bonuses." Karl explained.

Dora abruptly sat down in the middle of the floor, conjured another bracelet, this time in smooth metal, and then began to write on the outside in runic script.

Then she realized that she had messed up the character linking, and smoothed the metal to start over.

That was going to make her training phase much easier. She could just erase runes that she had carved incorrectly, and wouldn’t waste an item.
