Chapter 773 Wendy Jones
Jones Junior thought about the future for his daughter, then patted her on the head.
"Why don't you see if he can get you started on an appropriate trade? If the apprenticeship doesn't work out, then we can find you another job. But I think that you might be happy here." He suggested.
Wendy Jones nodded happily and extended her hand to Karl, her red eyes sparkling with excitement.
Like her father, she could almost pass for human, if it wasn't for her eyes. But Karl could see that she did have a tail, as it swished under her skirt when she was excited. Her father had said that her mother was a magic demon, so Karl had expected feathers or wings. However, it was possible that she had a feathered tail.
That might be a bit impolite to ask about if she kept it tucked.
Besides, if he really wanted to know, Lotus would find out soon enough. There wasn't much that the Green Dragon Cleric was shy about asking, and finding out if a new friend had a feathered tail was well down the list of things that might cause her to hesitate.
Karl smiled at her as he shook her hand, then activated [Follow Me, Little One].
Wendy got an odd look on her face as he transferred the [Apprentice Runesmith] skill to her, then threw herself into Karl's arms and began planting kisses on his cheek, much to her father's dismay.
And Dana's annoyance as well, Karl realized as he gently removed the young Demoness and placed her back on her feet.
"I taught her the Apprentice level of the necessary trade skill. It's one of my talents. She just got a bit excited." He apologized sincerely, looking towards Dana.
She sighed and nodded, while Mage Jones looked confused.
"You granted a skill with a touch?" He asked.
Karl nodded. "As I said, it's a unique skill for my class. She is my apprentice now, so she got the necessary skills.
Karl could see that Dana was planning something, but he didn't know what. So, he went with relevant questions.
"Do you like painting and sculpting?" He asked.
Wendy nodded rapidly. "I love to carve things. I make wooden toys with wind magic all the time. Here, look."
She took out a small wooden carving of a dragon, which was detailed down to the scratches on the creature's scales.
Her eyes were begging for acceptance, and Dana patted her head. "That is beautiful. You have a natural talent for sculpting. I think that you will get along well with Loros, our jeweller.
But first, I should ask, what did the System classify you as? I know that Obsession Demons have some peculiarities."
Wendy shook her head at Dana. "It actually calls me a Magic Demon. My father is part, and my mother is full-blooded, so I'm a Magic Demon by default."
Dana led Wendy inside, and Karl followed them after taking a few seconds to carve a water creation rune inside the well, and then charge it, so it would fill the open cistern to the level of the rune.
That way they would have plenty available for washing, if someone should get excessively dirty while working. Or for thirsty trainees, who would likely end up doing their morning workouts in the courtyard.
Once inside, he looked around the main room and began planning where to put everything.
He had a whole stack of items to finish from Loros, but Mana Jade was only one option. Many creatures preferred wood or other materials instead of stone, thanks to their nature.
"Lotus, how is the cooking coming?" He called to the back room. "Lunch is almost ready. Did you need something?" She called back.
"After lunch, I would like you to make some wood with good mana transfer ability for our two sculptors to work on. You can make a few rough weapon blanks as well. I will put out an ad for weapon makers later." Karl explained.
"Oh, like you were doing in the lab with the blue dragon clerics? That should be fun. We can make all sorts of wild things with two sculptors." Lotus agreed, then returned to her kitchen work.
Things were coming together well for this new branch of the Darklight Host. Once they had a base stock and a few more people, they could finally start making daily visits to the Dungeon to get everyone up to the Monarch Rank.
