Chapter 142 - 142. Farewell And Good Luck...!!! (1/2)

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...
