Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 151

A military advisor from the administration of Aermagh walked in and brought in the pieces of weapons and armours that he had recently procured to equip the men and soldiers of the legion

“Your Highness, these are the weapons and armours that we had purchased to equip our men. These pieces are of better quality than the ones that our men were wearing and every single piece had been appraised and verified that they were Level 3 Iron equipment.”

“The sample pieces that had been given to the Blacksmith in Ingmery was greatly improved and we would be able to vanquish those Bandits and thieves that had been running around the towns.” explained the military advisor to the Ruler of Aermagh.

The Ruler of Aermagh instinctively took a piece of a breastplate and admired the finishing touches and discovered it was indeed a better quality than the ones that his bodyguards were equipped. He took a great sword that had been recently forged and gestured to one of this bodyguard to come over.

Thinking that the Ruler of Aermagh was going to present the greatsword to him, he walked over gingerly after he had saluted to the Ruler of Aermagh.

“SSWWOOSSHH… CCLLAANNGG… HHUUAARRGGHH…” The greatsword that was wielded by the Ruler of Aermagh suddenly struck horizontally towards the bodyguard. An afterimage of the greatsword was formed as it sliced the air like as if it was paper with a great swooshing effect.

The bodyguard was taken aback and had no way to react and the new greatsword that he was anticipating to receive did arrive and it was exactly what the Ruler of Aermagh math had in his mind. To test the weapon’s effectiveness.

The great sword was swung with no difficulty as it struck the bodyguard squarely across the chest that was protected with the earlier models of the Iron plate. The glimmer of the plate shows that it was properly maintained and polished to such a degree that it could even use as a mirror.

The glimmering plate armour that the bodyguard wore provided very little or no protection at all as the new greatsword slices through the old plate armour with ease like as if it was like a hot knife through butter.

Not only the new greatsword slices through the plate armour with ease, but with a single strike, it had even disembowelled the poor bodyguard as he stood there, clutching at his chest as a large cavity was caused by the great sword.

His eyes were wide with shock and there was no more pain as he slowly slithered to the floor in a heap as part of his body began to ooze out from the cavity. A pool of blood soon formed where he fell and the Ruler of Aermagh returned back to his throne.

“Truly sharp indeed. I like it.” that’s the first few words that the Ruler of Aermagh uttered when he sat back and admired the greatsword in his hand. The blood from the bodyguard slowly dripped down the blade of the great sword and formed a small pool on the floor where the tip of the blade was held.

“Who is the forger?” inquired the Ruler of Aermagh as he looked at the other pieces of weapons and armour on the floor that had been arranged by the military advisor.

“He’s Blake from Central Ingmery, Your Highness.” replied the military advisor as he eyed the destruction caused by the Ruler of Aermagh. He was afraid that the blade that was wielded would befall on his neck of he answered a bit too late.

“Hmm, I never heard of him before.” uttered the Ruler of Aermagh as he looked at the blade that he was holding that was dripping with blood on the first kill.

“He’s the Blacksmith the defeated Romulus and Quentin in a bet. Both Romulus and Quentin were the main forgers that had made Level 2 iron ingots and was defeated by Blake who made these Level 3 weapons and equipment for us.” explained the military advisor unhurriedly as he recalled the incident the happen some time back in Ingmery.

That incident also caused Romulus and Quentin to lose their business and then had to make their appearance scarce from that day onwards. The Ruler of Aermagh nodded his head in acknowledgement and then he voiced his thoughts to his military advisor.

“Bring Blake to me.” the Ruler of Aermagh demanded as he placed the blood-soaked great sword beside his throne and stood up. He walked up to the military advisor and said, “Make a preposition. Blake must work for us.” and then he retired back in his Chambers.

The military advisor bowed his head low and remained there until the back of the Ruler of Aermagh was turned against him as he walked back to his Chambers. “Send a messenger to summon Blake the Blacksmith of Central Ingmery to meet the Ruler of Aermagh right away.” he finally straightened his body and gestured for a guard to send for a messenger.

“Clean up this mess and compensate the family of the deceased.” the military advisor spoke to one of the bodyguards and several men quickly carried the deceased bodyguard away and a team of clean up came afterwards to clear away the blood that had begun to coagulate on the ground.

Soon after, a messenger had made his way to Ingmery with a note summoning Blake the Blacksmith of Central Ingmery to come forth and present himself to the Ruler of Aermagh.

…

“A note for me from the Ruler of Aermagh? What does he want? Ooo… I have a bad premonition about this. I better ask Audemars about this to find out what he could advise me about.” pondered Blake as he held the note from the messenger from the Courts of Aermagh as he closed his store and together with Bruce, he proceeded to the Castle of Keating-Macleod.

Upon reaching there, Blake was flustered and had informed me of the note that he had received from a messenger in Aermagh’s Court. He had a bad premonition about it as he knew what kind of person is the Ruler of Aermagh.

I took the note from Blake and read it and it was a simple one-liner asking Blake to present himself to the Ruler of Aermagh. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this.” I simply explained to Blake as he sighed a huge sense of relief. Little did he knew that I would be representing Blake in every manner when the time comes.

“I knew why he wanted you to be there, brother. Don’t worry much. I would take the matter and save you and the rest of the business. The wisps would be readying the weapons and armours that were meant for the other 3 cities and once I had passed them to you, I would proceed to meet the Ruler of Aermagh.” I reassured Blake and Bruce as I knew that they were scared shirtless whenever they meet such powerhouses.

Furthermore, the Ruler of Aermagh is not someone that could be contested by anyone else. It would take wits to overcome him. As the deadline for the duplication of weapons and armours were nearing, it would be a matter of hours before I would be delivering to Blake and Bruce.

“Dear, are you sure you know what you are doing?” Patricia inquired as Blake and Bruce left the Castle grounds and head to their own destination.

“Yup, there’s no doubt about it. Don’t you worry much? A person of such power would be powerless against wits and wisdom with a sprinkle of bullshit along the way. I won’t go and present myself if I’m not sure about it myself.” I explained to Patricia as I patted her hand gently.

“I would be making arrangements to head there in the next coming few days. Furthermore, I have the equipment that I had promised to Blake and Bruce.”

“Moreover, I need to inform the interns and make sure they would stick to their schedule. Another day or two the 36 adventurers would be coming back with 21 plants that I had made them procure.”

“Once the adventurers had returned, their rewards would be promptly handed over to them as well as their reward money. I would leave when everything had settled by then.” I concluded my plans with Patricia and she understood my every single plans and procedure.

She knew I wouldn’t leave everything hanging in the air especially when our own members had just been recalled back to the Castle due to the unpreparedness of their Quests and also the Perils of facing those beasts and monsters in the Southern Plains.

“Daddy, would you be leaving us to go to Aermagh?” inquired Kayla with a meek voice as she overheard the conversation earlier with Blake and Bruce and them with Patricia.

“In a few days time, Kayla. Is there any matter that you need to bring up?” I asked since she was standing rooted to where she was when she came and asked me the question.

“Ahh… Nothing, Daddy. Just be careful, that’s all.” she replied but deep in her eyes, I knew that there are a lot more stories that wanted to relate. I gestured her over and she leaned against me like a cat as I slowly patted her head and said, “Don’t worry, I would only be gone for a few hours and I would leave when I had settled the matters here first.”

I reassured her as I patted her head and she unexpectedly gave me a hug and a kiss on my cheek. She looked up and said, “I know you would be doing so Daddy. Love you…” and right after she said that, she skipped away and joined the rest of the members.

“Hmm, how fast these kids grow under our wing…” I thought inwardly as Patricia held my hand and gently squeezed it. I looked at her as she gazed into my eyes and leaned her head on my chest.

Since there a few more days before I proceed to Aermagh, it would be best to settle all my task and tomorrow the 36 adventurers doing their Quests would be arriving. Hopefully, I would be able to get my hands on the 21 plants that I had requested.

I went to the Beauty World HQ with Patricia to clear away the duplicate plants and planted them over at our production plants. In that way, I would have more spaces for the 21 plants that would be arriving soon from the adventurers.

By evening time, we had transplanted all the duplicate plants over to our production area and I told the line leader to pick any of the products if they need. Furthermore, these plants had been imbued with Psi Healing Energy so it would bear fruit even if it had been totally harvested the day before.

“Come on dear, we’re quite done here. There are a few more things that need to be cleared in the kitchen. There’s dinner to be set as well as supper. I hope these interns would be properly guided when I’m not here in the next few days.” I reassured Patricia as we both heads back to the castle grounds.

Back in the kitchen, everything had been going smoothly and the interns were briefed in tomorrow’s menu:

Hawaiian Pizza

Japanese Yakiniku

Sloppy Joe’s Grilled Cheese

Indian Keema with Garlic Bread

“Alright, tomorrow’s schedule would be Indian keema with garlic bread for lunch, Japanese yakiniku for a mid-afternoon snack, Hawaiian pizza for dinner and sloppy Joe’s grilled cheeseburgers for supper. The list of ingredients are on the board here and please read and if you are not sure, please feel free to ask. Now, prepare for dinner and the supper as well.” I instructed the interns and they busied themselves preparing the meals.

I looked back at them and the members are all expecting a great buffet for dinner and supper later on. It had been quite an achievement that these interns had shown for the past one week and are sure that they would be able to whip up great meals tomorrow, especially the pizza and burgers. Hah hah.
