337 7.65 Be Humble And Know Where We All Come From (2/2)

”That's really unfortunate to hear if this tale. So it means you three had suffered defeat in a party raid as commandeered by Sheriff of Nottingham himself?”

”Not really, the Sheriff gave us the word to our leader and there are 5 bands grouped together with a total number of more than 50 men. Are you adventurers too, to gain abit of fame and fortune in this world?”

”You need to have better equipment than those you are wearing right now. That's the Normal armour in the Light class you are wearing. You'd be dead before you enter 200 paces before those demons.” sneered the 1st man who was a swordsman after he sized the four of us who were just wearing Studded Leather armour.

”This is not Normal...” Jean Lethal spoke up as I held him back, as he retaliated to the swordsman who had looked down upon us and wanted to withdraw Gotham from his back.

”What my friend here was saying, it is not normal for us to be in this gear if we are not adventurers. Actually, we are traders and we trade in items that are not available through normal means.”

”We are not into party raids or boss raids and these weapons that we hold are merely ornamental and has no purpose and all are Common items. Take no heed at our equipment, they nothing more than decorative for us to hold and for everyone else to see.”

”Whoops... Its already been quite late and past dinner time. We would be taking our leave now. It has been a pleasure talking with you. Pleased to be of your acquaintance, Gentlemen. We would make our move. Don't worry about food and drinks. They are already been paid for.”

”I performed soldier's salute and ushered the 3 of the others to walk on ahead when we were stopped by the 2nd man who asked,” May we know your band's name? ”

”It's the Band of Vagabonds...” and when I mentioned the band's name, all 3 of the haggard-looking men were surprised and was somehow delighted to meet the people whom others were praising highly before due to the single-handed duel with the Flaming Arrows, 3 weeks ago. Then their faces turned sullen as they had looked down on those that were highly praised.

”Should we make our stats visible, Robin? This would prevent anyone from looking down on us anymore.”

”No... Let them be. If not we won't know who our next soldiers would be. Might as well take in free to play adventurers and groom them instead. I won't mind going back to basics to let them learn the ropes.”

”Remember, be humble and do not forget where we had come from.”

.......

”Whaaaatttt...?!? 5000 gold coins from me? Sir, I don't understand all this... I am not an adventurer, I'm just a support member of the band and you've given me so much for little work that I had done.”

”I haven't even used a single coin from the past you had given me and now you had given me so much...! A former slave like me earns 1 copper per day and it would take many years of working before we could attain a single gold coin.”

”And yet, you gave away gold coins to me as if there were coppers to you. I appreciate it but this is way too much for me, I could easily live very comfortably with a few hectares of land, a barnful of livestock and a few wives in bed... *ahem*, that's what a rich man would be having right?”

Will.I.Am sheepishly looked at us as he looked down at his feet as he shuffled it. All of us laughed at his naiveness and asked about the dinner that he had prepared for the dearves earlier and he gave the 4 pouches of shards to me.
