The First Legendary Beast Master-Chapter 1019: Tian The Persuasive

Tian wasn't sure quite what she meant, but the Dana Mage was a big sister, and big sisters knew things.

Moving to the Tiny World had been a good call on their part, as the commotion hadn't been noticed by anyone but Karl. But now that they were done, they could go and chase Lotus out of bed to make a celebratory breakfast.

{Oh, good idea. I want blueberry pancakes with honey.} Tian declared.

{It's Dana's celebration.} Remi reminded him.

The fox gave her his best pleading look, and Dana laughed.

"Alright, we can have the breakfast you want, but you have to be the one to wake Lotus up to cook it. You will find that my cooking skills are somewhat lacking in comparison."

Tian laughed as she carried him out of the Tiny World and placed him on the hammock that Lotus and Ophelia were sharing.

Tian immediately rubbed up against Lotus' face, and her eyes shot open.

She had been sound asleep a half second ago, but the soft fox fur was very different from Ophelia's fur, and Tian smelled like holy magic after his morning exertion.

After training in the Seminary Academy, the smell of holy magic in the morning always got clerics right out of bed. The dorm matrons would use switches made of holy magic to chase you out of bed if you slept in, and nobody wanted to be on the receiving end of that.

Even Tessa and Nachtia had been dragged from slumber by the lingering aura of holy magic.

"What's going on and why does Tian smell like holy magic?" Tessa asked sleepily as she changed from night wear to her usual robes.

Dana placed a hand on either of Remi's shoulders and pulled the Lamia forward.

"Yes, why does Tian smell like healing magic. You should explain to the group." She insisted.

[Karl, help!] Remi pleaded. freēnovelkiss.com

[I think you're stuck this time. I'll rescue you after.]

Remi shifted uncomfortably. {I made a potion to help our Dana Mage reach Overlord Rank, and it was a bit more potent than expected. So, it took a bit of healing to prevent damage, but look, we have an Overlord Dana!} Remi insisted, then twisted out of Dana's grip to push the mage in front of her for examination.

Tessa chuckled at the Naga trying to hide, when it was clear that her potion had more issues than being 'just a bit too powerful'. But Dana was an Overlord, so it wasn't a complete failure.

If she had all the details, she would certainly be much more upset with the Lamia's lack of common sense, but she was only half awake, and Dana looked unharmed.

"Well, now that we have an advancement, I suppose that we should have a celebration meal." Tessa replied, as she realized that was the reason to wake them up so early, and for giving Tian to Lotus.

Everyone knew that she wouldn't say no to anything that the fox requested as long as he was willing to suffer her attention.

Karl wrapped an arm around Dana and picked her up to rest against his side.

"Why don't we move this to the Tiny World? There is much more room to celebrate in there. We can have a Golem watch the door." He suggested.

"Speaking of Golems, where is Rae? She's usually around first thing in the morning." Tessa asked.

"She also had an advancement last night, and she's asleep right now. The advancement baths take a lot out of her, so we're letting her sleep." Karl explained.

Lotus turned her full attention on Karl. "Rae made it to Totem Rank? Did she change a lot?"

Karl nodded. "Yeah. I suspect that it was the reason that everyone got so worked up about advancing Dana. But I will wait for Rae to be fully mobile again so that she can show off her new power level without spoilers."

Karl opened the Tiny World's entrance, and Remi assigned her bodyguards to watch the shelter. This close to the swamps, it shouldn't be too shocking to anything passing by if they sensed Naga by the river.

Lotus was happy to make all the fancy ingredients for breakfast and show off her new food creation skills for Tian, who was quickly covered in flour after an attempt to help with the cooking.

The lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult for him, but Lotus was happy to have him as a mascot on the counter as she made the blueberry pancakes that the little fox wanted.

"Is there a reason for the rush to make Dana an Overlord?" Tessa asked Remi as they waited for the food to be ready.

Remi shrugged. {She was still a Monarch, but Rae reached Totem. Plus, we had the ingredients, since she's a human mage, and Tian's fur would be compatible. I considered how to do it for dragon priestesses, but I don't have the ingredients that we will need.

I might be able to do it for Ophelia as well, but I need to adjust the recipe.}

"So, basically, just because you could? Alright, I believe that I understand how things happened now. But I don't think that you're going to make friends if you keep turning out potions that risk killing the imbiber for the chance to advance." Tessa chastised her, while Remi looked suitably contrite.

"Well, not here in the Dragon Isles. If we sent the recipe back to the Golden Dragon Nation, they'd start giving it to everyone who hit a bottleneck." Ophelia retorted sarcastically.

Karl shrugged. He had seen firsthand what people would do for even one more Rank. If there was a chance for Royals to become Monarchs, and especially for Monarchs to become Overlords, they would definitely risk giving them an experimental potion.

They'd do it with healers present because those people were all valuable assets to the nation. But they would definitely do it.

[I am going to have to set an alarm to wake me up before you do something crazy again. To think that you even dragged young Tian into your plans.] Thor admonished.

[Hey, some of this was his idea.] Remi countered, but Thor wasn't buying her excuses.

Tian was much more sensible than that.

Dana smiled. "You know, that's not a bad idea. I don't mean this potion, that's too risky. But I'm sure that Remi has something that will help grow an Elite's potential to a lesser degree that she used as the base.

I can send a message to Ahmad, and let him know that we have something helpful for him."

Karl chuckled. "How about I send him the message instead? In fact, I can send him one of the potions as well."
