First thing in the morning, while Dana slept soundly beside him, Karl finished up the gift for Tessa. She might not need the training space for so ti, but it wouldn't do to delay her advancent gift for too long. Now that she was an immortal, he could start introducing her to the Lycans and the mbers of the New Ho rchant Clan. Everyone would simply assu that Karl had recruited a mber when they saw a new face around the Guild compound. Assuming that she ca out of the Tiny World at all.
Tessa was still a Red Dragon Priestess, despite her Class advancents. So, she had a compulsion to keep to the tenets of her God. And all the best things to keep the red dragon pleased were in the Tiny World right now, unless soone attacked them.
Karl ntally searched the space, and found that Tessa was already awake, having breakfast with the hatchlings, while teaching them to play nice with the bunnies.
The dragons often forgot that other species didn't have tough scales, so claws hurt all the ti, not just when you were trying to make them hurt. That was an important lesson before the young dragons could transform into humanoids.
Karl tossed the gem through a portal, letting it land on the table in front of Tessa, who simply smiled and shook her head, knowing that he didn't want to get out of bed to hand it to her directly.
If he got out of bed, he would have to do things and start answering questions from all the other Guild mbers who had been busy all night, making items for the shops.
Even the Alchemists here in the Tiny World had been busy helping Remi with her efforts.
They might be mostly mortals, but they could still prep all the ingredients, saving the Naga Matriarch a lot of ti when making multiple batches of potions and pills.
The concept of pills was becoming increasingly popular among the Darklight Host. They were more convenient to use as dicine than potions were, so anything that could be condensed into a solid pill had been.
Naturally, so things needed to remain a liquid, and the ointnts were perfectly balanced as they were. It was mostly just the healing dicines that they were focused on. Those were the ones that needed to be easier to use in an ergency.
Plus, the bunnies had even co up with a better way of carrying them that was Lotus approved.
They took so of the failed pills, ones that had co out at common and uncommon quality, and wouldn't be sold in the shop, and pulled a thin wire through the middle of them. Hung around the neck like a necklace, they could be eaten like candy in an ergency.
That was a tactic that Lotus had used before with dicine, but if they made them out of higher quality dicines, they would sell incredibly well as decorative jewellery.
After all, who would assu that all those small round stones were pills, and not rocks? From a distance, it was impossible to tell them apart.
Karl wasn't able to sleep in for long, no matter how much he wanted to. They had an increasing number of custors arriving at the Guild Shop this morning, all eager to see what was going to be stocked for the day. Everyone knew that the Darklight Host had the ability to make Peerless Grade items, so they were fully expecting to see sothing appear.
With thousands of Peak Immortals gathered at New Ho, and the two locations linked by a portal, this was the perfect opportunity to find custors for all the best gear, and the Blackwoods Pack knew it.
So, they were sure to get Karl out of bed and down to the shop.
"Duty calls. I should likely pick out a selection of good stuff for today before I get there, or they're going to panic. I suppose that leaving them in the Guild Store bank would have been better, but it's been so long since the last ti that I forgot it was an option."
Dana laughed at Karl's annoyed tone. "Go take care of your loyal custors. I suspect that Lotus is going to advance in the next day or two. Her aura is already unstable, and Tifa is pushing her hard against the bottleneck with her growth."
"Alright, you stay here, let know when she does advance. If you want to make so items while you wait, just toss them in the store inventory."
They split up, and Karl transported himself directly to the back room of the shop, making it look to the custors as if he had been in the back office.
"Good morning everyone. I've got a restock for the Peerless Grade items ready for sale, you're just in ti."
The Peak Immortals gathered around, watching the upper shelf where Karl had put the best items last ti. One by one, he restocked the shelves, loading them with warrior items, and then a pair of mage rings that would grant a combined mana regeneration rate higher than nearly anyone present could actually spend it, as well as a steady rate of stamina regeneration.
A matched pair of Peerless Grade rings like that for a combat mage would make them nearly unstoppable, the warriors assud.
The easiest way to defeat a mage was to wait for them to run low on mana, or exhaust themselves casting. If they didn't do either, then defeating a skilled mage was a nightmare for most warrior type classes.
There was no doubt about it, those items were going to sell, and they were going to sell to the sa person. It was just a matter of who could afford them.
While the warriors rushed to inspect the items that actually mattered to them, one more figure slipped into the room, wrapped in a soft black cloak.
She stood at the back of the room, staring at the items. Not with the sort of greed and lust for power that most had, but with a growing sense of confusion, as if she had seen sothing impossible, and was struggling to understand it.
