Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 142

The next day ensued as per normal as I prepared gruel with cabbage, carrots, sweet corn kernels, cauliflower and broccoli with lots of minced meat and bones from chicken, pork and mutton. I used some spices, cinnamon and aniseed for fragrance and taste afterwards and uses spring onions to garnish the top.

It was like a Mediterranean breakfast that’s back to basic and the soup that was boiling with all the bones and minced meat. I soon mixed in the rice and when it was nearly done, I poured in all the vegetables, shut off the fire and closed the lid of the cauldron tightly. The smell wafted through the whole Castle and stirred up the rest of the occupants awake.

“Wah… Daddy is cooking again and I can smell its wonderful smell. I wonder what it is but I’m sure what Daddy is cooking right now smells like soup…!!!” May bounded off from bed and heads to the shower to brush her teeth as she and her companions too woke up and made their beds.

“You are sure to have a good and caring Daddy, do you know that? Others would fight over to have a Daddy like you. We are all in the same fate but you 4 are the luckier ones.” remarked a girl in her early teens as she took her hibiscus twig and dabbed some Sparklie toothpaste and used it to clean her teeth.

“Uh-huh… My Daddy is not only a warrior like us, but he is also even the Jack of All Trades. Good in business and money-making. Never scolds us but advises us in front of others. He is a good guide and a role model.”

“He treats Mummy well and every night I could hear like ‘Honey’, ‘Dear’, ‘Darling’, ‘Babes’, ‘Harder’, ‘Faster’ something like that… I think my Mummy massages my Daddy every night and it could go on like 2 to 3 hours nightly, really…”

“The sounds of slapping also could be heard and I think Daddy was being massaged by a slapping motion, I think… *Piak! Piak! Piak! Piak! Piak! Piak!*”

“Alright, my turn to wash my face and have a rinse before heading for breakfast. We have all levelled up now and I’d inform Daddy that we could head to the Southern District today for the next 5 days or so.” Kayla announced as she began to have her shower.

….

“Daddy… I mean Guild Master… Our members had all completed their Quests and collected a lot of valuable points as well as gifts and credits from the rest of the quest master in Central and Northern District.”

“We would like to seek your advice to proceed to the Southern District after this to complete the Quests there. It would likely to take more than 5 days or so.” Kayla spoke up and when I looked at her I find that she had grown more mature and rounded around the edges. I guess she is reaching her puberty or maybe she had stuffed some snacks where her chest would be. Hah hah hah…

“Alright, just to give you a heads up. There are 25 Quests there since I last updated. 18 battle Quests and 7 gathering Quests. There’s 24 of you so each one takes one per day and you would complete it not in 5 days Kayla, but in 25 days altogether.”

“Does everyone understand that? The junior members have already reached level 5 while the rest of the adventurers in other Houses were of Level 2 majority and only a handful are already Level 3. Well done everyone…”

“Everyone opened up your trade link and receive your rewards from the Castle of Keating-Macleod. 15k credits for every one of you.”

“We do not expect you to be home once you started the Quests in the Southern because all the 25 Quests requires you to travel and discover new lands and locations.”

Soon after, I transferred 15k to everyone and advised them to stock up on some health and mana generation potion from Joan. Since there was no food out there in the Southern, they were advised to grind for some hours and collect enough resources before heading there.”

“You need to chop wood, make your own fires, bedding and cook your own food. Whatever it is, pair up in a buddy or a 4 man system. Teamwork is important and never leave anyone behind. I will miss you all for the next 25 days and all I could wish for all of you if Good luck and Be Safe…!!! ”

“YES GUILD MASTER…!!!” everyone chorused as they approached one by one and kneeled on one knee and got my blessings. Everyone was solemn that morning as they prepared to move out and be back after 25 days. With their own savings and the fresh injection of reward money, they have more than enough credits to last at least 3 months.

They marched out and went to Joan’s where they bought a series of health options from 25%, 50% and 100% regeneration for both health and mana.

Next, they went to the confectionery and bought some loaves of bread and assorted cakes that were placed in the storage infinitely and won’t turn green with fungus.

They also bought some fruits, vegetables from the marketplace and cooking utensils from the Adventurer store.

After they had done with their shopping and ensuring they had enough to last a month in the wilderness, they set out to the Southern District after assembling in the town square.

Adam was leading the group as he started to sing a marching sound and everyone echoed behind. Little children were seen running behind the members and the other adventurers couldn’t help but watched with awe at the uniformity and camaraderie that our members had shown.

The rest of the adventurers knew they were already Level 5 and were about to head to the Southern District for their set of Quests. The rest of the adventurers were feeling left out since most of them are Level 2 and their Houses did not spare them free allocations like what we did not at a ridiculously high price for every 10 points.

Adam started with a line and everyone started to follow the marching band song.

Hey, hey baby…

I want to know…

If you’ll be my girl…

Hey, hey baby…

I want to know…

If you’ll be my girl…

When I saw you…

Walking down the street…

I said that’s a kind of girl…

I’d like to meet…

She’s so pretty…

Lord, she’s fine…

I’m gonna make her …

Mine, all mine…

H-E-Y B-A-B-Y…!!!

…..

Patricia was holding to my arms when she watched the seniors left the Castle grounds and finally discovered that they had all grown matured and were able to shoulder responsibilities.

Tears seemed to well up on her eyes as she watched our children stepped out and would be pronounced as hardened Adventurers after they had completed the 25 Quests in the Southern District.

Even though Southern District is just beside the Central Ingmery, but each quest may require them to be out on the open for 12 hours or more and that includes day and night quest.

Even if our 4 children were not if our lineage, but we consider them as our own children. Soon, our interns arrived and headed into the kitchen as usual.

…..

Day Four… I’ve put up a note in the kitchen that today’s meal would consist of only 4 household members, 6 staffs and 10 interns and I showed them the menu and told them to decide which is which for lunch and the rest of the meals.

They have decided that lunch would be Garlicky Spaghetti, dinner would be Lemon Pepper Chicken Curry with steamed rice, supper would be Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken while afternoon snacks would be Beef Tocino with hot bread.

It was a good choice for the meals and since we need to cover the Western Borders and the rest of the checkpoints today, only Patricia and I were left to perform the tasks. Prius and Rebecca had already gone for their daily tasks and ensuring the main ingredients for all the production plants had been replenished.

Something was gnawing at my insides and before we embarked to the Western Borders, I allocated 10k points into my attributes just in case anything happens. A total of 60k points were used up and the sudden increase of points make my awareness, perception, as well as my battle prowess, went up some notches higher.

“Honey, bring along Mark of Magi today. I don’t know… Something gnawing at my insides and its not a rat that tries to get out. We would be in full battle gear and with our cloaks on as well.” I recommended to Patricia as we prepared for ourselves ready and sat in the caravan as I activated the teleport function to head to the furthest checkpoint in the Western Border, the Westend Town.

….

“I am not called the FAT BASTARD for nothing…!!!” bellowed a rather fat, baldy, about 30ish-year-old man with just a moustache and goatee on his face. *BBAAMM* he slammed his fist on the table and he reached for his throwing knives and threw them across the room where his minions suddenly ducked to avoid getting hit by the wild throw.

“Uhhmm…Fat Bastard. The report that had come in was true. There are no more highway robbers and all of them were christened Booty Whirl and had sworn their allegiances to them. Not only we lose 80% of earnings but the gang of Booty World in the East had new uniforms and weapons.” a minion replied to Fat Bastard as he slowly picked himself up and returned the throwing knives for his master.

“Who the fuck is Booty Whirl and I heard the person who runs the operations is called Night Ryder? What kind of name is that? Is this kind of joke they going to pull on me or what? What do you mean we had lost 435 members in our Association?” bellowed Fat Bastard and a sputter of spit ejected from his mouth and landed all over his table.

“That’s right Fat Bastard. All of our deployed men in all the checkpoints had turned tail against us and refuses to comply with our directions at all. This is a mutiny, Boss… We cannot sit around and so nothing…” another minion, presumably, a contracted Assassin spoke up as he picked his teeth with his fingernails and sucked on its leftovers.

“You’re damn right we won’t sit around and do nothing. You, Assassin… Go and find out who this Night Ryder is and what’s the BIG DAMN DEAL with Booty Whirl. Give me the statistics on the number of men we have right now on all the 87 Towns.”

“We must stop this cockroach once and for all for disrupting our plans.” Fat Bastard waves his hands off and his other minion that acted as his advisor soon took off from the dilapidated house somewhere in one of the towns of Western Borders.

Fat Bastard looked at his dwindling wealth and had found that he had only few thousand credits left that that means he had only a few weeks to enjoy his time with the ladies in the whorehouses, drinks in the pubs and meals at his favourite Tavern.

Ever since he had been part of this organised crime syndicate, he had been enjoying his lifestyle and these interruptions sure blew him up.

“I’m going to get that Night Ryder and crush his organisation. Bloody hell… He dares to dishevel my joint, I make sure he would be meeting Hell soon…” he barked at no one in particular as he took a long drag at a bottle of whiskey that he had kept hidden inside his drawer and smashed the half-empty bottle against the wall opposite him.

“I will personally SKIN HIM ALIVE…” he caterwaul and took another small bottle of scotch next
