Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 108

Since the arrival of the castle would take some time and the yellow hardhats were clearing the debris, I’ve decided to visit Bruce’s and hand him the readied weapons that I had set for him the night before.

The children didn’t follow me since they were watching the progress of the moving of the castle into the premise and they were, in fact, doing some PR as they went about the production plants and the Day Care Centre. In fact, they were doing their tasks as per normal despite the expectations for their castle to move into the neighbourhood.

“System, please update me with the progress for the 750k pairs of earrings and 8k for Bruce’s.” I nudged the system awake and it groggily replied.

*Ding* Performing system check. Progress earned 758k, Level: 14,710/100,000

Unallocated Points: 111k Master Crafter 3318/100,000

“Heh… I’m already a Master Crafter now but I’m missing a few more points before the system could have a kind of upgrade? What kind of upgrade are you going to have?”

*Ding* Unable to disclose such information at this time. 290 more levels to surpass before it hits 15% progress.

“Ah… It is all right if you are unable to inform me at this moment. I’m happy at what you are right now.” I was communicating with system telepathically or else people might think the person behind the spearhead of House of Keating might be either mad or simply talking through a Bluetooth set. Hahahahaha.

….

“Good day brethren, here are the things that I had promised you. A 1000 pieces of all these items except for 500 pieces for the amulets and rings.” I greeted Bruce as I entered his store and he was happy to receive me at the door.

“I heard about the developments for the House of Keating. Here’s a little information for you. The Houses around Ingmery were now shaken, for one thing, House of Keating came up tops in wealth management. And with the development of a Castle instead of a Great Hall, House of Keating’s would rise to the tops in building and facilities management.”

“House of Keating is still in the bottom 14th position in terms of recruitment and membership management. But in terms of internal structural management, the House of Keating came up to the top 8 positions since there are 5 internal members of the House that had gone up to Level 2.”

“What an achievement brethren, this is the first time I have seen anyone who took over the household name of Keating and had saved businesses from collapsing, created jobs for many, improved the wellbeing and wholesomeness of the citizens and on top of that had accumulated wealth from humble beginnings.”

“That’s all right brethren, I am not here to compete in such trivial matters but in fact, I’m happy that the 87 Town folks around us had finally started to emerge as adventurers and its a good thing that they start early. How would you expect a middle, hunched back, wheezing aged man with a walking stick to go against a goblin? Hah hah hah… That would be me then, in years to come I guess.”

We both laughed heartily as I described myself hobbling on a walking cane and guiding the adventurers against the goblins as I waved my sword in the air like Highlander… Hah hah hah…

“Hey, brethren, I just want to ask, Blake’s got a quest right to give out, how about yourself?” I asked when I remembered that the locales so give out quest from time to time.

“Yes I do, do you want one? It’s a simple quest though. To retrieve 10 hamstrings and 20 planks of wood to make 5 light bows. These are booby quests brethren, it’s for those new adventurers only. Unlike you, your quest is to produce as many trinkets so I could sell them and you would collect the profits later on.”

“Hah Hah Hah… These quests are not for me but to build up the confidences of the adventurers around me. By the way, I might be making a small booklet on where to look for quest masters without describing the quests inside.”

“That’s a splendid idea, my brethren. At least the adventurers know where to go from one point to another.” Bruce’s agrees with my idea of making a small booklet as a guide to quests around Ingmery and I am sure the adventurers would be well equipped with the knowledge given free to them, especially if they had sworn their allegiance to the House of Keating.

I went to the Northern Forest and Noone was happy to meet me and i presented him with a whopping 750k pairs of earrings. “Last night you told me that you love those earrings and would pay 80 credits for it right? Well, here’s 750k pairs of them for me to exchange for some credits.”

“Some credits you say? 60 million credits just for these earrings… Where shall I put them? On every beast, goblin, Troll and other monsters here? I didn’t expect you to bring me 750k pairs… And I thought you bring me like a few dozens or so… This is too much… Simply too much… Tsk tsk tsk… Well, a deal is a deal mister… Here are the 60 million credits.”

I received the 60 million credits and they are just a matter of speaking and not in real currency. How the hell could a camper like NoOne has so much money on him? He is like the world bank already. Hah hah hah…

I then spent the whole morning asking the rest of the Houses and finding out if they give out quests and then to the rest of the locales as well. The quests may be simple but the knowledge of going through the town and discovering them is invaluable.

After I had compiled the list of quest, it had come up to quite a considerable amount. The House of Pallemon had 2 quests that are stacked on top of another but there is a tricky question at the end of it. Even an ordinary house belonging to a citizen also had a quest in it.

I went back to the cookhouse and saw the yellow hardhats guys were already getting ready to receive the first installation of the castle and so I went back to the cookhouse and sat there with the rest of the children and adults.

….

“Daddy… Where have you been and why are you smiling right now? Did something happen wonderfully happen? Tell us quick… We want to hear all about it.” Ingles proclaimed as she saw the look on my face and then she was clapping her hands when she saw me take out the notepad.

I showed the children what I had compiled and they were surprised at the number of quests I had discovered so far within half a day. “Do we need to do them in sequence, Daddy?” Ingles asked as she saw skeletal information on the quest because they knew I would not want to divulge too much information to make the quest any easier.

“No, you don’t need to do them in sequence at all. You may choose all the gatherings ones and then attend to the rest. There is a mix of battle quests in them. Those marked with an apostrophe would mean it’s a local while others are just citizens here.”

“There’s another 15 more quests that I hadn’t include in so it would be given by me, as a quest master once everything is done for these 20 quests.”

“Wow… There’s so much quest for us to do here. There’s nothing marked in (S) southern, right Daddy? Why is it so?” Adam asked as he saw the annotation and realised it either meant from the central or from the Northern District.

“I do not wish to include the Southern District yet. Furthermore there the Eastern and Western front where adventurers may seek to find their own quests from other 87 towns there. That’s what I heard.” I replied as to answer to Adam’s question.

“Right now there is a small quest, can anyone find me a bookstore or a printing shop to make this into a small booklet? It would be 5 quests per page and it would just be a small pocketbook about 3 inches by 2.5 inches in size. Leave some blank pages behind for anyone to take down notes et cetera.” I asked and the 4 children all raised their hands excitedly as they all wanted to have the quest to find the said stores.

“Alright, just make one copy and then head back to me once it’s done. Thank you, children, don’t lose my notepad, ok? Adam, you take care of this notepad and the three girls would go look for the stores.” I instructed and I hoped the eldest would be the most responsible.

“Affirmative, Red Leader…” Adam saluted me and off they went to the market and business district to look for the said stores to make a small booklet.
