Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 147

When we reached Keating’s Day Care Centre, the children clamoured around us and wanted us to tell some of our tales in adventuring around the forest and around Ingmery.

The children were excited at our presence since it had been some time since I had last visited the children due to being busy with other matter. And once we were there, the children spotted us and rushed over to us.

It was a rather heartfelt welcome that the children had given us and so I decided to tell a story since their mothers would end their shift soon and would be coming to collect their children after work.

And so here I am rewriting this chapter once more since there’s a bug in this app that happens to wipe out not just a few paragraphs but the whole chapter. Uurrgghh… I think I’m going to copy this whole chapter before I close it or so a spell check.

After spinning a tale with my fingers and basically had the children eat from the palm of my hand, they were filled with awe and excitement.

“So you had slain the dragon and all the dragon did was left its dentures before it died? What good is dragon dentures do, Uncle Mars?” one of the children that were sitting on Patricia’s lap asked me. Mars was a short nick for me since the children find it hard to pronounce my full name.

“If any of you children doesn’t want to listen to your mummy and daddy and goes to bed early or refuses to brush your teeth before bed, the dentures would come and find you and BITE you in the ass… I mean knees… AAAWWWOOO…” I made a clamping motion with my hands and clamp it on the girl’s knees that were sitting on Patricia’s lap.

“Hah Hah Hah hah hah…” I laughed so hard when the children squealed and screamed in fright. It was my kind of thing to scare little kids after they listened attentively to your little story.

Their mothers who came to pick up their children can’t help to laugh as well since it scared the children and they all rushed to them and said they will listen to their mummy and don’t want the Dragon dentures to come and bite them when they go off to sleep without brushing their teeth. Hah hah hah.

Their mothers came and say their gratitude to us for employing them, giving them a chance and pace a way through their livelihood and at the same time allowing their children to be cared for in the Keating’s Day Care Centre as there are other older kids who would be doing the mentoring as usual.

When we walked back to our Castle after entertaining the children and spoken to the scholars, we discovered a group of adventurers were wearing their coat of arms of their respective houses and were waiting for our arrival.

“Excuse me, Guild Master and Mistress, we are from the Northern District and I am from a warrior from House of Lord Mountbatten, these are Rangers from House of Rising Sun, the Assassins from House of Lady Katrina and these Wizards from House of Arcane.”

“The 36 of us wanted to form our own party band and would like to ask for your kind opinions but we do not have the intention to leave the House as we had spent quite a considerable amount of credits to reach to where we are now.”

“Would you let us use your training grounds so we would be able to train and improve further? ” a young warrior who becomes the spokesperson for the whole group named Nelson spoke up.

“Sure… Whatever house you all came doesn’t bother one bit. You may use the obstacles to clear some first and every station has its explanation as well as safety guidelines. Roam one round first and observe and then you may start the run down as many times as you like.”

“Let me know if you want to use the static stations. I need to activate for you and you need to arm yourself with those wooden weapons instead. No live firing or weapons inside the FIBUA.” I explained as I pointed out to the weapons rack and they all chorused their appreciation and comprehension about the rules and regulations.

“You are really that kind-hearted to let outsiders use our training grounds as theirs. The House should be able to provide with such training facilities if not how are they going to compete with us?” Patricia pouted her lips as she mentioned the fact.

“Naaahhh… It is just a small matter, dear. It doesn’t benefit me or you whether they use this facility of not. Let them be. We can’t be too stingy and just privilege it to our members-only, right? Except for the pool, of course, it’s not open for public. Hah hah hah…”

I ribbed at Patricia and we ran around the courtyard and went inside the Castle where I wanted to observe and guide the interns next.

“Salted corn kernels with coconut gratings and butter. All these to be molten in a cup and could be steamed individually on bowls. Go on, try it. You gonna love this simple snack.” I motioned them to make some desserts since there was nothing much to do today.

“Help yourself to the kitchen and feel free to create your own snacks like pudding and steamed cakes. No worries, just inform the senior cooks and they could assist you to get the necessary ingredients.”

I advised them and went to the pool deck to have a dip and at the same time observe the members of the other house try out the obstacle course. After they had completed one round, their faces had already become red like a tomato. Hah hah hah…weaklings.

It seems that the Houses have no training facilities or simply left their members at their own wits to train and level up. I wonder if they would reveal anything if I were to ‘interview’ some of them.

“Server, could you inform those adventurers who were using our training facility to stay back for some supper? I would like to have a little chat with them afterwards.” I implored to the person who was in charge of serving drinks and snacks at the pool area and she passed the message down to the housekeepers and down to the Adventures below.

Since our Castle was lit by surrounding lights around the obstacle area, the group of adventurers continued their training well into the evening. Seeing their tenacity of training after dark, they seemed to improve their timings and agility in clearing the obstacles below.

“Come on dear, let’s go and meet those adventurers and have a little chat after we have dinner. Maybe we could uncover a thing or two from their internal operations of each House and see if there’s room for improvements on our side that we could learn from them.” I reckoned to Patricia and got out of the pool and towelled myself dry.

Thanks to the addition of the server, lifeguard and a housekeeper that maintains the pool and the 2nd floor, our place looked pretty neat and tidy. It was a small investment made to run things smoothly around the Castle. Even though our home was a Castle, but we don’t need so many servants, unlike those nobles that had so many cooks and butlers to attend to them.

We got dressed and went downstairs to meet with the adventurers from the other House that were using our facilities and gestured them aside after we had our light dinner. The adventurers were taking a breather in the courtyard and were having their refreshments down by the water stations.

“Tell me, how do you find the training facility here that tests your endurance and stamina?” I question the one that had introduced himself as Nelson, the spokesperson for the group of mix and match of adventures from the various Houses.

“Fuwee… This is the best training facility that you got here, Sir. Our Houses cannot be compared to yours and I’m sure you had groomed the best adventurers through your training regime.” Nelson spoke up after he sipped from his cup.

“Does your House encourages you to leave and train at your accord or something?” I asked since he finds that training here does bring about some benefits.

“Actually Sir, the Houses does have a strict rule. Every each of us must be trained in a certain stamina building area before he or she could join the House, take their preliminary tests and then if they succeed satisfactorily, they would be allowed to be in the inner circle of the organisation.”

“They don’t accept anyone who looks unfit or just there to take advantage of the recruitment system. We paid dearly for the application and if anyone here did fail, we would lose the deposit and there’s no second chance for us unless we prove ourselves to be able to enter the House on the next second round, which would be in a 30 day’s time.”

Nelson replied to me as he looked forlornly at his group of friends that had gathered to try out the training facility that we had. They were 36 of them and all came from 4 different Houses in the Northern District.

“Have you completed all the Quests so far in the Central and Northern District? There’s a total of 25 Quests so far and how have you been getting along?” by this time everyone had gathered around us to listen to a few tips and tricks up my sleeve and it wouldn’t harm them one bit if I were to draw out a quest for them.

“Yes Sir, we had completed the 25 Quests and was wondering if you do have any hidden Quests that you may want to reveal to us,” spoke Nelson with enthusiasm in his voice since he saw that this Guild Master in front of him was quite friendly compared to the other Guild Masters.

“Well, there are 25 Quests in the Southern but more than half is battle Quests while the remaining are gathering Quests. These Quests would take more than a day to complete and you would traverse in the Southern Plains, The Terraces and also The Wastelands.”

“These Quests may seem simple but the treacherous terrains that you need to pass as well as dealing with the beasts and monsters would be much higher than you meet in the Northern Forest.”

“If you think that dealing with the Trolls would be hard, wait till you meet the beasts there in the Southern Plains. The dangers that you would meet would be 150% higher in the day compared to at least 300% after dark. There are Bosses that you may deal after you had eradicated their minions.”

“Their Bosses high levels, as well as HP, would be considered as if you were dealing with a dozen or more Common Ranked foes. Do you have that capability? All of you are Level 3 and just barely hit 25% of the progress and all your allocation points for 4 or 5 attributes are considered as extremely atrocious.”

I explained to them the dangers and their incapability to enter just the Southern Plains to achieve further Quests. One would need Level 5 just to fulfil its bare requirements.
