324 7.52 Piggyback And A Trip To SafeHaven.

"Just who is this Robin from The Band of Vagabonds...?!?! He carries a sword and a bow, had arcane powers and be able to battle blindfolded, wears simple armour and was polite to ask for the rewards, spends lavishly for his team members without batting his eyelids and now off walking away as obscurely as the way they came."

"Low profile, just leaving their names in Leeds' battle arena and definitely going to be up there for a very long time indeed. He never intimidates the opponents that had lost to him single-handedly and just took his rewards and bowed to the crowd as he was left the arena."

"Just who is this Robin and the group of band members. They all looked pretty ordinary, down to earth and wore modest armour and hold reasonable weapons as well. But from what I heard from their dialogue earlier, he is young but is a deeply professional warrior that is able to lead, not by mere words but through his actions as well."

"A leader that does not executes merely use his voice but leads as a true leader as well. Hmm...would he obliges an additional team member? I'm afraid of rejection and once more repudiation like this would end my career as a red mage or even a mage as well. Might as well get incarcerated and married with a commoner, or a farmer or whatever..."

"I searched for Robin on the interface and came up with more than a few dozen similar names and I gave up after a minute or two. It would be formal and polite if I approach him since they were nearing the edge of Leeds" town."

"Excuse me... it is me again, Stef the red mage that chatted with you before your duel...do you have a minute?" I implored, hoping they would at least acknowledge my existence after his triumphant victory and was half expecting to see a bastard after that win that had made his head bigger...

"Ah, hello Ms Stef, we aren't expecting you to join us as I thought you were revelling after a successful bet, I reckon? Do you have anything to ask or would you like to have a cup of tea back on our camp? Or you have elsewhere you need to go and attend to?"

"My Lord...this guy talks too much too..." I thought as i replied, "I actually have nowhere else to go, and I do not make a bet since I am not a gambler and do not take chances much in life."

"Yes, I would join you for tea back in your camp...is it very far away?"

"Ohhh... it is just 5 hours away from here on foot and under 2 hours on Cruising Along technique. Do you have the technique that I had mentioned earlier?"

"Errrr...not really, no...I do not have the technique that you had mentioned earlier."

"Oh...that's not too bad though, however, if you'd like to be on piggyback with my right-hand lieutenant here, he would definitely be glad to carry you, would it be ok JL?"

"Eh...? I piggyback...? Eh...I...I..." answered the man named Jean Lethal in a very bashful manner.

"Hii...Hii...Hii...I don't have the Cruising Along and Mr Robin here would carry me on piggyback, too...right, ring leader?"

"Matilda...you...errr...nevermind...I...I..." stammered the man named Jean Lethal as he seemed to be in a trap he can't escape from.

"Go on, ride on his back, he wouldn't mind at all. He is such a gentleman and would do anything that could please a new friend." beckoned the young bandleader to his comrade as he slowly squatted down to let me ride on him. I slowly wrapped my robe and held on to my staff and mage hat tightly as I raised my legs and he held on to it and wrapped it around his waist.

I have never been on a piggyback on a stranger before as he sped up alongside with the bandleader and Matilda on his piggyback as well and we cruised along on his Cruising Along technique across the plains for about 45 minutes when the one I'm riding on piggyback shouted 'H E A L'.

I saw the bandleader clasped his hands together and released 2 bluish-white spheres from his palms and aimed at the man I'm riding piggyback on as he continues his journey onwards. I sense an intense amount of healing powers from the bluish-white light as it entered the man's body and coursed through it.

"Whaaaatttt...?!? This bandleader has got fire and healing powers in his body as well?! He's a red mage, an archer, a swordsman too? Just who is this mysterious Band of Vagabonds? The name of the band itself is very simple and Vagabonds means they didn't join any clans and preferred to stay as what they are, as warriors..." I speculated to myself as I rode on the man named Jean Lethal.

Every 45 mins, the man named Jean Lethal would shout for 'H E A L' and once again the bandleader would imbue his band member with the healing powers with intense healing properties. It seems that the healing level itself was considerably high of more than level 6.

When we had cleared the plains and arrived at a wide stream, we slowed down and the man named Jean Lethal slowly let me off his back and I am once again back on solid ground. The man I rode piggyback on turned around and asked, "Are you alright, Ms Stef? I'm sorry if the ride was a little bumpy earlier since I've never carried anyone before on piggyback over a great distance before. In fact, I've never carried a girl on piggyback before at all...Hoo Hoo Hoo..."

"I'm alright...thank you. Have we reached your camp yet? It's quite a distance from the main city, I suppose. Are there any towns nearby here?"

"Yes, Stef, there a town here nearby called Byram and welcome to 'SafeHaven' a place where it's unmarked and unnamed on any maps in the world. Hahahaha. Come, let's cross this river to get to the other side. This is a floating bridge platform and built singlehandedly by our friend here, JL"

"JL as in Jean Lethal...Hii Hii Hii...He seems a bit bashful don't you think? Oooo...this floating platform is really a piece of art...! There's a guiding rope and a relay rope to pull it from either both sides...The idea is so clever...!"

I looked at the contraption on the river and it was either a raft not a bridge but it's a floating platform with a guide rope that was anchored on both ends with a height of 7 feet. A relay rope was attached to it to pull the floating platform from both sides of the river. It's unmanned so it's quite manageable, it seems.

"Everyone all aboard now...be careful Ms Stef, here, held out your hand..." Jean Lethal offered his hand as he helped to hoist me on board and when everyone was on it, he pulled the guiding rope that was running through the middle platform and it smoothly glided across the river.

"I wonder if Will is awake right now. The birds had not chirped yet and it indicates dawn would still be in about 2 hours from now or so. I'm hungry all of the sudden...do you happen to have any sna....." The bandleader spoke midway as he glared at his other team member as she was munching on a piece of twinkie that she had removed from the wrapper with as little noise as possible and she smiled with her mouth full.

"Just call me Stef and you may drop the honorific...its more informal and casual this way."

"Sure thing Stef, so you are a Mage right? Well, at least we both are holding on to staffs. I last heard that you can attack and heal at the same time, just like our Boss here too, even though he is not a Mage at all."

We soon arrived after we crossed the river and a short distance away, I saw rows of fruits and vegetable plantations that seems to glow with some sort of magic imbued in it. The leaves were luscious and everything seemed to grow at a much faster rate than normal.

There was somebody huddled on the barren floor of the incomplete hearth with stacks of planks which I presumed will be used to make the walls. "SafeHaven, it's sure a great name for this camp."
