Eldritch Creature's Guide



The was being served in one of the halls within the Grand Cathedral of the faith of the Outer Gods, which was typically reserved for greeting the high-class guests that came to visit Bishop Vilgar, who was stationed on this floor.

In fact, Samiel was eager for the breakfast because he would have food that was directly prepared for the Legendaries, as Bishop Vilgar would be eating with them, so they could enjoy some high-end ingredients that sometimes not even money would be able to procure.

He came out of his chambers, closely following after Yvraine as they went there side by side, with her leaning over his right hand, which she was gripping strongly. Mainly because she noticed the glances that the female members of the clergy were giving her man, so she got a bit territorial.

Nefertari was happily flying through the corridors of the enormous Cathedral, enjoying the scenery of the archaic gothic church, filled with countless, some may say, creepy-looking statues of the Outer Gods and some other types of the Eldritch Creatures.

Aside from him, she was probably the other person who was most eager for food.

She was sure that she would get her paws on some good high-quality meat and because she was a familiar of the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath, once again she was sure that the Bishop Vilgar wouldn't be stingy sharing his personal stash.

Some may wonder, but high-end food made from precious magical beasts or high-tiered lifeforms was worth of all money and for many people, it was also a source of strength and power.

For Nefertari and Tytos, who could push forward boundaries of their powers and evolution to the higher ends, while even Samie, as a partial Eldritch Creature, was the same because he too could grow stronger from the same thing.

That was the reason why he was never stingy with meals and ate only the best he could buy with his capabilities.

Soon enough, they arrived at the hall, where Bishop Vilgar was already waiting for them, sitting in a luxuriously decorated hall. He was seated at the end of the long table, at the place where those with the most seniority in the room sat.

While technically speaking, in terms of ranking, Samiel as the Holy Son of the Hall and also as the personal disciple of the current Hall Master, was slightly above in status compared to Bishop.

Still, Bishop Vilgar was Legendary Level Professional and the Hall of Kadath respected personal strength above everything else.

"Good morning, Your Excellency."

Samiel greeted the elderly Bishop the moment he entered the room, with Yvraine closely following suit as she gave him a small bow of respect.

"To you too, Your Highness the Holy Son, Silvermmon Princess."

Bishop Vilgar greeted them as he motioned for them to sit daw, as Samiel sat to his right while Yvraine sat next to Samiel.

"It would certainly please Your Highness that the crew of your newly bought ship has been assembled from the promising young Templars and some experienced sailors of the Northern Ocean Area."

Bishop Vilgar stated jovially while they waited for their food, to which Samiel nodded his head, that everything was going according to his plans.

"I am deeply thankful for that, Your Excellency."

Seconds after he said that, Samiel noticed a small frown on the face of Bishop before he went to explain the situation.

"Though, you could take sail only after several days because a week earlier, a terrifying frost-storm had passed through here and froze the shores... High Jarl told me that they would need at least four to five days to remove the aftereffects completely."

While this was unfortunate, it was true that they couldn't leave the Skrånøtiå under current conditions. Though on the bright side, he could at least continue studying Mythos Magic and prepare for the sailing.

There were still some things he needed to go through. He had some parts of the Intermediate Warding Magic that he needed to learn because he was missing the last parts before he could move on to more advanced forms of the Warding Magic.

"Time is not a problem for us at all... also I wanted to ask, where is Juulius, Your Excellency?"

He stated as the food was soon served to them by waiters, as Samiel salivated a bit when he smelled the fragrance of the dishes that were being served to them. He also noticed that Juulius was missing from the setup, as he guessed that he was probably dealing with the Templars.

"Your sworn knight has departed to examine the ship that is to serve and he also went to organize the Templar Knights who would be acting as your crew."

Samiel nodded; at least Juulius was the one who was responsible, but it was exactly for a situation like this, and he was also the person who knew the Templar Knights best. So, it would be better to leave that task for him... not to mention, he wasn't fond of dealing with such menial tasks.

"Then everything is as it should be... now let's eat."

With that being said, everyone started eating, especially two felines, Nefertari and Tytos, who were voraciously devouring every bit of piece of meat that was put in front of them.

Despite her small stature, Nefertari was able to keep up with Tytos because she was eating delicious high-tiered meat from Gold-Tier magical beasts.

"I must admit that your personal stash is really something else, Your Excellency..."

Samiel complimented viking-looking Bishop because he liked the food very much; even ever-picky Silvermoon Princess nodded gracefully that she agreed with what he said.

"How many people have Your Excellency recruited for the ship?"

The ship that Samiel bought was very large, probably capable of easily holding a few hundred people altogether without any problems.

All warships that were being constructed by the Skrånøtiå were humongous and were typical to accommodate a small army.

Naturally, the one that Samiel bought was no different and thus, Samiel also needed a small army for the ship, which Bishop Vilgar kindly provided for him.

"Something about 350... most of them are directly from the Templar Order that were sent here for tempering, though I have ordered for some clergy to help with injuries and also to gain Spell Casters."

While priests of some religions were rather weak because they could cast only Divine Spells that were used by borrowing the Divine Power of their Gods, the ones of the Hall of Kadath were vastly different.

All Priests of the Hall of Kadath were accomplished Spell Casters and Magic Users on their own. They were using their Divine Power granted to them, by Gods, in an entirely different manner because they used them to boost up the offensive potency of their normal Spells while also giving them Divine properties.

"That seems to be a pretty sizable crew..."

With a crew of this size, he wouldn't need to use his Undead and could delegate most, if not all, work to his Knights and Priests. Among the Templars and Priests, there was a whole bunch who were Bronze-Tiers, because they were the best of the best that the hall of Kadath sent here for tempering.

"Indeed it is... but they are one of the best from the younger generation among the Templar Order and Ecclesiarchy."

Naturally, only the best would be allowed to accompany the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath.
