326 7.54 An Attack And Healing Red Mage Joins The Band

"Tell me, Stef...what are your plans right after this? There are no adventurers beside us and we normally stay on a camp for 90 days before we move on to another site about 10 km from here."

"We don't really do much except for mining and we haven't even grind some monsters yet. Matilda had also come back from visiting her Granny in York the other night, and the moment she came back we went off to Leeds to sell our Ginseng Hee Ling pills."

"Frankly, I do not have any plans yet. I was thinking of quitting this adventurer thingy if I do not meet a band that suits their requirements and goes back to what I was doing...which was absolutely NOTHING."

"Oh...so it means that you put up a camp here for every 90 days and then moved on to another site afterwards? Do you have a sort of binding contract with the Dwarven? They seemed awfully nice and it was a total opposite with the perception of others. They carry Obsidian picks, so they are miners, I presume."

"Not really a binding contract, Stef. Ring leader here made an agreement to supply them breakfast and dinner for the dwarves every time they come here to nine and before heading back home. Every 7 days we would set up an elaborate feast and normally 6 days we would prepare as simple as this." Matilda added as she munched on a piece of grilled bread with the sweet corn creamed soup.

"I see, so it means to say you are looking for a band to accept you, am I right Stef? I was like that before, since one look at me would disqualify me from joining any band. Who would want a warrior armed with a stick? Am I right, boss? If not for our boss here, I'm still sucking on tomatoes and nowhere else to go and turn to." Jean Lethal added as he relates how he made acquaintance with me back in the last camp.

"The Band of Vagabonds is like a band of misfits. We are considered a group of the unwanted, and our main aim is to stay together through thick or thin. Matilda came to me first with a sword like a butter knife, Jean Lethal came here with only a few tomatoes in his storage bag and Will was a slave before we bought him off and paid for this freedom. He decided to stay as he too had nowhere else to go."

Stef listened and when she heard that we bought Will.I.Am his freedom, she was surprised. "No wonder Will is your support staff and not an adventurer," she said.

"Yes, that's what he chooses to be for now. If he changes his mind kn months to come, then he would be ready to embrace his own future." I said as i slowly sipped on my cup of freshly brewed sweetened tea.

"Robin, so you knew of my intention when I decided to tag along with Matilda and JL here, am I right?" Stef asked as she lowered her mages hat to cover her face to hide her emotions.

"Well, of course, I knew but it would be best to ask the questions yourself. By the way, the person who would be making this decision would be JL himself."

"Eh Boss, why me? I don't make decisions right here Boss... it would be you and whatever you said would be the best for every one of us."

"Would you want Stef here to be part of The Band of Vagabonds? Everyone would be able to learn from her something, especially meditating. Is that right, Stef?"

Stefanie nodded her head and her mages hat which was like a witches hat shook with it too.

"I would like her to be part of The Band of Vagabonds and we would also like to learn meditation as well. What does meditation does anyway, Boss?"

"You would have an added skill on the character sub-menu and meditation would help you to gain more experience points and this you can allocate it into your wisdom and essence if you'd like to prolong your Cruising Along to be more than 45 mins."

"Ring leader, so i could allocate them anywhere I like if I gain experience points during Meditation, right?"

"Yes, I believe Stef could also guide you, Matilda on how to perform correct Chi breathing and channelling and I would show JL instead. This would also help you to achieve a burst of energy on any part of your body during an attack of defence."

"Can I also learn the fireball trick, ring leader. It would be so cool...!"

"That you could ask Stef if she is willing to teach. But why do you need to have this as an additional skill?"

"It looks cool to make a furnace to convert the herbs into pills and also to light up a dark room or a cave, and also cool whenever someone asks 'Do you have a light' and I turn around and snap my fingers and light the fellow's cigarette or something."

"Haiyaaa...these skills are not for you to play la...its bestowed upon you not to hurt or harm anyone or animals etc. Unlike yesterday, no one got killed or hurt. They just got flamed out by me, that's all."

"Alaaaaa...ring leader, you so selfish la. But nevermind, I can learn from Stef...is that right, Stef?" Matilda asked while winking at Stef who had cocked her makes hat at the back of her head and she drew small laughter.

It was her first true laughter that she had let out for many months now.

...

"Sir, here's 4 basket full of stem and leaves from the ginseng plant that O had planted yesterday and now since it was watered with the energy power, it had sprung as if it was planted 3 months ago. These stem and leaves are great for harvesting and would aid you in gaining more fame as a Pill Maker."

Will.I.Am handed me 4 baskets full of ginseng stem and leaves after we had lunch from the vegetables that we had taken from our garden, while Matilda and Jean Lethal counted the stem and leaves.

"You are the one who made the Pills that you sold in the arena yesterday? You had knowledge of Pill Making? Just how many skills do you have?" Stef asked and I replied nonchalantly.

"Quite a few, just basic ones. These pill making is also being discovered by me through an experiment. I had the knowledge of herbs in errr...my other memories. I used to make diarrhoea, constipation, headache, flu and fever pills some time back. Now we would be on to something for the food of other adventurers."

"300 stems and leaves, boss. That's the total for these round. Do you want to take the pills now? I could use a basket to catch those pills after i lined it with some clean cloth." Said Jean Lethal as he took a clean basket and lined it with some chamois cloth and readied it back.

"Ring leader, so this means we do not have to rely on your refined steel plates to sell kn case we in out of money, do we? It's a waste and you could Smith them for something else."

"Yup...we can rely on this Ginseng Hee Ling Pills for cash. Right now, it is not cash that we want, it's helping the adventurers. We will head to Leeds tonight. By the way, JL could you bring Stef to Byram later and get her a tome on Lightfoot. Here are 3 gold coins to cover the cost of the tome."

I have given Jean Lethal 3 gold coins for the tome and 10 shillings to purchase the necessary camp gear, axe and pick. Mages are long-distance fire and healing support, so for the time being, she does not need any armour but her overcoat, cape and mages hat could be interwoven and fused with steel mesh to give added protection.

I wondered what her level was and the attributes for her staff. She said she was level 2 attack and heal red mage and that's the maximum she could go, then she might need more enhancements done to her equipment and send her weapon for refinement to complete the whole basic setup.

It may look like an OP set up for her but it's nothing compared to those pay2win heroes who had more than 20k points on their own allocated stat points and they are heard mainly from Arsenal, Manchester and Liverpool.

I gathered energy around me and madeKamehameha on both my left and right hand as Matilda and Jean Lethal helped to slowly drop in a few stems and leaves every few seconds and soon an announcement rang.
