Chapter 441 Quest Objective
Karl took a moment to check the location of the quest objective, hoping that the System would give him some sort of hint. But it only gave a direction, with no distance.
That wasn't going to help much. All he could do was follow the general direction and hope that it wasn't too far. There was no time limit on the quest, he just had to find the perfect pet. Karl wasn't even certain that such a thing existed, but if it did, he would certainly go looking for it. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not just for the power, but because he wanted to know what the system thought was the absolute peak pet for him. It was likely something so impressive that he had never considered it on his own, but the method of taming it was unlikely to be an easy one.
He was imagining what it would take to tame a dragon when the kids began to surround him, demanding that he bring Thor back out to be a climbing obstacle for them.
The older Elves had no idea what a Thor was, but when Karl called him out, they seemed enthralled with the strange Cerro.
"I have never seen anything like that before." The Mayor noted.
"He has been evolving as he grows in power. A normal Lightning Cerro where I'm from doesn't get this powerful. It's my class that is helping him grow. But he came across a holy resource and it helped him learn new skills.
A Lightning Cerro that can use a Circle of Protection is unheard of, at least in my homeland. So, he's one of a kind. Now that he's begun to change, I think that he's got even more advancement potential ahead of him, and he won't get stuck at this level.
Some of the others had more potential from the start, so I'm not too worried about them, but I've got a Naga Spirit Snake who is about to hit the advancement bottleneck."
The Mayor nodded. "So, she will have to decide if she's going to stunt her powers and remain a snake, or if she will evolve in a different direction. What is her class now?"
"Naga Spirit Snake Shaman Princess" A number of the Elves turned to stare at him.
"Did you say that you have a Naga Princess with you? A Shaman Princess?" One of them asked.
[Remi, come out and say hello.]
Remi was already behind the rest due to her youth and slow growth.
Karl thought about the options. "I take it that the Queens are the most powerful, on a raw power level, but not among the usual group of combatants?"
The Elf nodded. "Most of them remain home with their broods, as they are the only ones that can make the whole variety of Naga Eggs that a clutch will need. The others can only make baby versions of themselves."
[But does it come with a new hat?] Remi asked.
She hadn't made a new crown in a while, but she had good materials in her swamp for one.
[I think it can come with a new hat. Or I can get you one.]
"You seem distracted." The Mayor noted.
"Remi was wondering if the Queen position comes with a new hat. She doesn't always come out decorated, since it's hard to make anything stay on a snake's body, but she's a big fan of bling." Karl explained.
The nearby Elves chuckled at the explanation, and the eager look that Remi was giving them.
"Well, I don't know if a crown is part of their skills, as Naga Queens usually wear many gold necklaces instead. But if anyone had the right to wear a crown, it would be them." That settled it. Remi had to look into becoming a Naga Queen. It would be the best of everything. New powers, still being a cute snake, and a crown.
What more could a girl ask for?
"I suppose that we just need to find her some information on the topic. She's been with me her whole life, so we don't have all the information that a regular Naga Queen would have grown up with." Karl sighed.
"Why not ask the Nature Gods? Not the Green Dragon, the Storm Gods. They govern shamans, so they should know how to get a Shaman Princess to evolve." One of the Priests suggested.
"Oh, that is a wonderful idea. There is a temple nearby. You can go pray there and ask them in person. They shouldn't ignore a devoted Royal Adherent. Especially as they are Beast Gods."
