Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 121

Patricia replied as she introduced herself and the children to Cyrus. She eyed him with suspicion and is able to read his body language and his intent even before he opened Cyrus opened up his mouth to speak the next sentence.

Cyrus, from the House of Light, was licking his lips as he eyed the Mark of Magi staff and asked, “May I know where you do acquire that staff that you wield, oh wise one? I have not seen that kind of staff before and it might not be in our books of lore.”

Patricia looked at me with a glanced look and I took the cue that it was my turn to speak, literally.

“Cyrus, that staff was acquired by me and I handed it to my wife as she is the wiser one to wield it. Furthermore, she does qualify to handle the Mark of Magi as it represents the pinnacle of her career.” I choose my words and laid it out to him and he was pleased to no end when he heard the name of the staff.

“Oh wise one, could you let me handle the staff a while as I inspect it at closer proximity?” Cyrus turned and looked at Patricia and he simply ignored me, bloody fool…

“Here, take a look at it but no touching it at all.” Patricia shoved the staff near Cyrus’ face at an angle with one hand and letting him see clearly the Mark of Magi that was clearly adorned on top of the staff.

Seeing the staff at close range near his nose, Cyrus could feel its strength, its power emitting from it and also the grandeur of wielding it during battles. He knew that this staff is the top legendary model that one could have in the fantasy world and in some cases, it is one in a million that someone could actually possess it.

“Yes… The Mark of Magi… The most powerful staff in this whole wide world and its the only one that’s available. Ownership and wielding this staff is comparable to the Archmage himself. Good Heavens… I wouldn’t imagine that this Mark of Magi would be so close to my nose at all right now … ”

Cyrus was basically inhaling so deep as his flared nostril happened to be flared more viciously as took in a deep whiff that might suck in the Mark of Magi if given the permission to do so. His nostrils simply looked like a big vacuum cleaner right now…

“Aahh… Yesssss…if I could only possess this then the tables would turn against them. By the way, don’t you mind me asking… Is this for sale and would you be if interest to be our mentor at the House of Lights?” Cyrus was in an orgasmic state after he inhaled the Mark of Magi deeply that it filled not only his lungs but clouded his pea brain as well.

“You are asking me to join the House of Lights? What if I were to knock some sense into you with this Mark of Magi and knock the lights out if you right now? How dare you, little imp, asking a representative of Castle of Keating-Macleod to leave and join other Houses?”

Patricia was basically fuming mad as she blew smoke that comes out from her nostrils and sides of the mouth like a fire breathing dragon, as she had taken a long pull of her Virginia slims earlier and exhaled right in front of Cyrus.

Seeing Patricia in a raging mad temper, Cyrus took to his heels, pulled his pants higher up his waist, as he ran off into the other direction towards the House of Light. He regretted his last sentence and all he wanted was to wield the Mark of Magi once in his life before he loses his virginity.

“Wow… You really got a temper there, sister in law. I had never seen anyone so fierce before. You really knew his intentions, yes?” Rebecca said as she held Patricia’s waist and walked off towards the Castle.

The children walked along with us back and Patricia simply replied, “He got the eyes of a hungry wolf and I can sense that in him. He’s so naive and didn’t even think twice that I could use Insight on him as a fellow Wizard.”

“Mummy, Mummy… Can you teach me about Insight and Perception? It’s really shameful for me to enter the house of Auntie Becky and not realising that the 2 hoodlums were waiting for me and jumped on me.” Kayla asked Patricia and the latter pulled her closer and walked beside her.

“Don’t worry, Mummy will guide you in case Daddy is busy with his two hands at the moment. Not only you, but Mummy will also guide Jane, Ingles and Adam as well… And also our junior members too.”

Hearing that, I felt relieved as finally, Patricia has the courage and determination to lead ever since she picked the Mark of Magi in her hands. That staff alone had built walls of confidence around her and nothing could bring it down.

It was close to dinner time when we reached our Castle and I went to pin the menu up on the pinup board in the kitchen to prepare the necessary menus for tomorrow. When the present cooks saw the list, almost everything looked alien to them except for some meals that were available in the House of Sanders.

“There are 4 types of menus for each day, Master? Which is for lunch and dinner then?” one of the cooks asked and I told them that 2 would be for lunch and the other 2 would be for dinner. Since they had gotten the raw ingredients ready for tomorrow, the 2 cooks were excited to learn new menus and impart others to the new interns.

After dinner with the family and junior members, we all sat at the courtyard as we discussed on the Quests that they had done. Most of the Quests they had gone to had not to lead them out to the Northern Forest yet, which means our children would be able to head to Blake’s one at a time since the side quest for them is to talk to NoOne as he gives a clue to where the main quest could be solved.

Having dinner under the stars despite within a courtyard do being back sweet memories of my past leap. So much so, at least those experiences that I had gained or obtained could be used for the junior members here, especially the knowledge of some basic spells that are being stored in my large so-called library of crates in the Realm of Mind.

Completing quests does not improve on their progress but is just accomplishing tasks as they get along. Some of the junior members asked if some would grind for some time and then head to perform their next quests. As there are no set of House rules that restrict one’s movements and achievements, I couldn’t say no to their requests at all.

“The best is to perform your routine regime in the morning and then move off to your task at hand. The seniors had their daily morning task to perform as well and may join you later once they had completed their dailies.”

“Furthermore, don’t hesitate to put up anything for suggestions in the future. There’s 20 of you and all of you might not have the same minds and thoughts at the same time.”

I passed the message down to the rest of the juniors and understood what I’m trying to deliver. Furthermore, seeing their seniors had levelled up, they too wanted to Level up and at the same time to bring the name of Castle of Keating-Macleod up the rankings.

“Guild Master, do you organise night raids?” one of the junior members asked. “Not really, why do you ask? Do some of you intend to do night raids?” I eyed them as I answer the question with another question. “If we may, Guild Master, we would like to grind after dinner right till about 9 pm. At least the quests would be done during the day and grinding be done at leisure time after dinner.”

Rodney, the spokesperson for the junior members, was enthusiastic when some of the junior members asked about the night raids. “Wild beasts are more aggressive when night falls, you may encounter a wild boar aggressiveness about 1.5x or even 2x from the day time. It’s not that I don’t allow night raids before, but extreme care bed to be exercised at all times, do you all understand?”

“We understand, Guild Master. And that means you’ll allow us to go for night raids then. We would be most careful since we knew the beasts are much more aggressive than in the day. We will always ‘Be Prepared and Expect the Unexpected’.”

“Alright, since you all knew the consequences and dangers of night raids, proceed with caution.” I reluctantly have to agree as I’ve said before, there are no House rules that don’t allow a member to progress and level up.

“Guild Master Daddy… Could we go with them for the night raids? Don’t worry… We will also ‘Be Prepared and Expect the Unexpected’…” asked Ingles whose eyes sparkled with interest and enthusiasm. I sighed inwardly as there no Parent’s Handbook that doesn’t allow a child to develop progress on their own.

“Alright, all of you be careful… Extremely careful. Here… These are 20 spellbooks for each one of you to learn how to heal yourself in the outdoors. Read and learn before you leave for the night raids.” I reached into my storage bag and retrieved the said amount of spellbooks in case the situation arises and it did at the last minute.

The spellbooks were called Heal Me. And our children had already learnt it beforehand. It was a shout and they gained +5 health points every second for 15 seconds and only affect themselves. Cooling period of 2 minutes.
