Chapter 813 VIP
There was a short line of VIP guests waiting to get into the Castle for the Garden Party when Karl and Dana arrived. The staff wanted each of them to walk the red carpet as a couple so that the crowd had time to get a good look at them. That slowed progress, but the cheers of the crowd when they recognized someone were deafening.
They were all turning on their Titles and Guild Tags, so Karl did the same and quietly warned Dana to do the same if she could. @@@@
{Former Lord of Bunga City} Karl {Grand War Champion of the Darklight Host}
Dana {Battle Mage of the Darklight Host}
Having names and titles active would make it much easier to meet new people inside the party as well. Everyone there was an Overlord or the guest of one, which meant that most of them operated businesses or owned large amounts of property.
But not only that. Some of the people in front of him were visiting Nobles, City Lords from other cities in Drodh, and even a few ship Captains, going by their titles.
Karl's turn came, and he looped his arm for Dana to take as they casually strolled down the red carpet.
Dana was recognized by very few, as she had not been transformed for the battle at the docks, but many recognized Karl, and they were telling the others. Having the titles active gave them a good idea who Dana was, so the crowd just assumed that she was active on a different side of the battlefield than where they had been.
As they got closer to the front, they reached the most devoted visitors, the ones who hadn't left after the speeches.
"It's the Healing Tree's Guard." Someone called, and a massive roar of approval spread through the Demons, drowning out the other noise in the crowd.
That attracted a number of the other Overlords over.
"Branch Leader, I don't suppose that your artisans will be putting other similar articles up for sale next month, will they?" One of the ladies, a lithe but athletic Orc, asked excitedly. Karl shrugged. "I can't say for certain. Overlord Ranked items only get created when the artisan is feeling inspired. So, while it is likely that we will have items at the auction, I can't say what they will be."
The Orc nodded in understanding. "That makes sense. I work for a merchant group as head of security, and my boss is somewhat upset that he lost out on all the best items today."
From the smug looks of the others, Karl suspected that was no accident. At the very least, they were not upset that her boss had been shut out of the prized treasures of the Auction House.
They were not given much time to speak before an immensely powerful aura approached, and the group spread to allow the Lord to approach Karl directly.
"The War Champion of the Darklight Host. What a fascinating thing, to have been granted such a title and a legendary Guild Name by the system." The Lord declared, speaking slowly.
Karl bowed to the Lord, while Dana dipped into a curtsy.
"Indeed it is. Though, many of the advantages were not apparent until I had a proper Guild House. Truly, I have been blessed by the World Dragon." Karl agreed.
The Lord frowned. "I see. So, you were truly granted this Guild title by the Gods?"
Karl nodded. "The first time I fought a city defence, I was granted the status of War Champion of the Darklight Host."
That took everyone by surprise. It wasn't just someone who had found a workaround in the naming restrictions. He really was a member of the legendary Guild.
"Please remain after the Party, I will send for you. We have much to speak about." The Lord insisted, then he was off to chat with other guests.
