The First Legendary Beast Master-Chapter 846: Domestic Runecrafting

Karl took out one that was carved to look like Lotus’ dragon form.

It was on an oval base, which gave him plenty of room on the bottom to carve. So, he quickly planned what he needed. Cleaning intentions, organization, water for mopping floors, wind to keep everything dry and dust the books, with a modifier for gentle strength, so nothing was damaged.

That still left him with some extra space, so Karl added runes for repair, removing stains, and refreshing mana, but targeted to items being cleaned so that it would give a gentle nudge of mana to failing ancient artifacts, which helped keep them stable.

Karl took a pencil and drew the runes, then quickly carved them with a claw, before adding mana to activate the whole thing. It was a complex concept, to be certain, but when he finished, the dragon statue’s eyes glinted blue, and he knew that his efforts had been acknowledged by one of the Gods.

{Epic Grade} [Statue of Tidiness] Cleanliness is next to godliness.

Karl looked at the item description in amusement for a moment, then handed the little white and red dragon statue to Overseer Rashid.

"Why don’t you try that out and see if it’s worth the exchange? If not, I can supplement with something I have in stock." Karl offered.

Overseer Rashid pushed a bit of mana into the statue, and a ball of blue magic formed around the dragon, before soaking into the statue, making it look like a living Blue Dragon.

Seconds later, a gust of wind spread through the building, causing books and papers to shift around, but not at random. Scrolls slotted back into cabinets, books left on tables returned to carts, floors began to shine with a freshly washed gleam, decades of dirt and grime were removed from the sides and tops of bookshelves, while dozens of lost and forgotten manuscripts were recovered from hidden spots and behind shelves.

Within a minute, everything was perfectly clean and organized, and Karl heard a happy draconic rumble from the statue, before it faded back to a plain Mana Jade statue.

{I think that worked wonderfully.} Remi noted.

"I don’t remember some of these scrolls. Where did this come from?" Overseer Rashid asked as he walked to a cart, where an ancient scroll was neatly rolled and freshly cleaned.

He picked it up carefully, and Karl could hear how brittle the paper was.

The Magic Demon cast a spell on it, and the ancient parchment glowed with energy, then became visibly less faded.

Rashid unrolled the scroll, and then his eyes opened wide in shock.

"This is... impossible." He muttered.

Remi slid over to look over his shoulder, and read the notes.

It was a list of spell ingredients and instructions for an Orcish Shamanistic Ritual to pacify a major storm at sea.

{How long have the Demons held the city?} Remi asked, startling the Demon with her presence mere centimetres from his face.

"About four thousand years. This must have been left when we took and renovated the city. Then it was shifted around until it ended up here in the Library, which was built about a thousand years ago, replacing a smaller Library in the compound of the Castle.

How it survived all this is a mystery, but we don’t know a lot about ancient Orcish Shamanistic magic.

But would you mind backing up a little bit? Your tongue is dangerously close to the paper."

Remi backed up, then sighed. {Naga don’t drool. But I do apologize for forgetting about personal space.}

She was not, in fact, sorry. Not at all. However, she did move to the other side of the table to examine the scroll.

"Remi is a Shaman." Karl explained, as the Overseer was beginning to wonder what had her so intrigued by a scroll written in Orcish.

The Receptionist came out with the books, and stared in shock at the Library. The floors were actually gleaming, and there was no dust anywhere. Even the drapes over the windows were freshly cleaned. Stay connected with novelbuddy

"What happened while I was gone? I swear it was only a few minutes." She stammered.

"Overlord Karl granted us a most curious statue. It not only cleaned the Library, it organized the books onto the carts for return to the shelves, and it recovered the lost and forgotten tomes that had vanished behind or on top of the shelves."

"That is wonderful. There are a number of tomes that we have been unable to find for the entire time I have worked here, but the security spells insist that they are still in the Library."

She placed the books on a counter and went off to look for the lost tomes.

"She’s going to be incredibly frustrated when she realizes that the spell didn’t remove any of the books from the hidden compartments and secured drawers." Overseer Rashid whispered.

"Or when she realizes that her romance novel is no longer hastily stuffed under her desk, but placed in the middle of the reception counter and freshly cleaned." Karl agreed.

Remi grabbed the books they had purchased and placed them on the shelves on her altar, then looked around the Library.

{I think I need to come back here later. There are so many good things to read.} She informed Karl.

"Well, the Library is open from dawn to dusk five days a week. I will give you a VIP card." Rashid agreed.

He grabbed one from a drawer under the Reception desk, and cast a spell that bonded it to Remi.

"Overlord Karl is recorded as a Donor already, no need to carry a card. But it appears that I have a lot of work to do.

I need to make copies of this skill for use and distribution. Once the Lord and the Governor learn that so many Demons can learn a regeneration skill, it will be in massive demand for the army.

Do you know how effective it is?" He asked.

Karl nodded. "It’s not as good as a minor healing spell, of the ’heal over time’ sort. But it will close major wounds in a matter of minutes. There is a stronger version, [Trollish Regeneration], but it’s got a much more restrictive usage set."

"Is that the healing ability you have? I heard that you shrugged off blows like nothing during the battle on the docks."

Karl smiled. "I have limited Invulnerability, and a special constitution. My healing abilities are on an entirely different level."
