325 7.53 Jack And The Beanstalk

"Welcome to SafeHaven, everyone and welcome back to our humble little camp. Let Will sleep some more, it's still early for him to wake up and furthermore, we had left him behind the whole night before. Let me start the fire first, and Stef make yourself comfortable." I spoke up as I removed my equipment and placed them on the ground next to the prep table.

I went over to the fireplace and stacked some kindling before I snapped my fingers to produce the Kamehameha on the fingertips to light it up. From the corner of my eye, I noticed that the Mage was eyeing me when I lit up the fire and fussed around.

Matilda had cleared a pot for boiling water as I placed it near the two pieces of wood used for a stand for the crockery. Jean Lethal was asking what to cook for breakfast and I simply said we are going to have grilled bread and he immediately scooped some flour from a sack and into a mixing bowl.

Matilda was talking to the Mage and they were engaged in both their adventures as I placed some oil from the pork rinds that I had prepared beforehand and some salt into the mixing bowl.

"Boss, I'd help you knead the flour into the dough. You can sit back and relax first. Ah, Will...you're finally awake. Sorry to make you arouse so early. We had just come back from Leeds and boy, our Boss sure had a lot of fun earlier...Hoo Hoo Hoo..."

"Good morning Sirs, Ma'am...let me wash up first and help you prepare breakfast. I thought you might be back later so I thought of making grilled bread. Sir JL, is that 4 scoops of flour in there?"

"It's 5 scoops of flour, it would be enough for another guest of ours."

"Sir, we have another guest?"

"Yes, she is right over with Boss and Matilda there... Go and say hello or something first."

Jean Lethal motioned to Will.I.Am to be acquainted with our new guest as he quickly washed his face and cleaned himself before saying hello to our guest, Stef the Red Mage.

"Hello Ma'am, my name is Will.I.Am and I am the support staff for The Vagabonds and I tend to the daily needs for the team as well as tending to the garden just behind there."

"Oh, hello there young Will.I.Am, I am Stef the Red Mage. Delightful to meet you, it means you are not an adventurer or in any class at all for the moment? Aren't you a bit too young to be a support staff?"

"Ah, Ma'am, my story goes way back about 10 chapters before this. Let me do about with breakfast this morning," he said while he went to stoke the fireplace to make the pot of water boil faster to prepare tea for the adventurers.

"Sir Robin, how was the sales of the Ginseng Hee Pills yesterday? I heard from Sir JL that you had fun last night in Leeds. What actually happened there?"

"Hahaha...JL will tell you more about it. By the way, the Ginseng Hee Ling Pills were snapped up within an hour despite having slight interruptions yesterday. Matilda, pass him his share, will you...?"

"Alright ring leader. Will, open up your trade interface. Here are some proceeds from the sales yesterday. We all had taken ours and as usual, our ring leader never takes any."

A trade link was established and soon Matilda passed 58 gold coins. "Sir Robin...!!! These are gold coins and there are 58 pieces altogether...!!! Why is that so much...?!? I had never had a single gold coin my entire life and both Sir Robin and Ma'am Matilda passed me so much of this...!!!"

"Aye...take that as your contribution to the Band. It's yours to keep and use it according to what you need. Have it for your future and rainy days too...If not for you, we won't have any sales yesterday. You had a good knowledge of basic herbs."

The moment Stef heard about the 58 gold coins that were transferred as instructed by me, she was equally surprised and wide-eyed. To earn a single gold coin would take 20 shillings and a single shilling makes up for 50 coppers each. This ring leader just passed 58 gold coins to his support staff with batting an eyelid.

"Alright, don't fret about it. There's more to come. Assist JL in the kitchen and then to the garden and let me know if the changes you may see from the watering jug that I had told you not to empty last night."

With that, Will.I.Am excused himself before thanking me and Matilda for the coins that we had passed to him from the sales proceeds.

A little while later he came back with an excited look in his eyes.

"Sir Robin, the ginseng plant had all grown as if it was about 3 months old...!!! The vegetables and fruits last night that I had watered had all fully grown and can be harvested...!!! We could have our own vegetables and need not buy any more of those already...!!!"

"That's great to hear. It's what it's supposed to be and just continue to water them as normal. They just need the energy power once in a while or else we going to have the giant coming down from the skies and Jack won't be around to kill it"

"Ring leader, who is Jack and who is the giant you were talking about?" Matilda asked as she cocked her head sideways to look at me.

"Oh...just a common guy who had exchanged his goat or cow for some magic beans that grew right into the sky. He climbed to the top and got himself a goose that lay golden eggs. He was chased by a giant that owns the goose. When Jack reaches the grounds, he chopped the beanstalk tree down and the giant plummeted and broke its neck. The end."

The rest of the group listened with mouths wide open at the incredulous story that I had concocted up regards to the garden which was totally irrelevant with watering and tending them at all.

"Are the corns already for harvesting, Will? If it does, could we have 10 ears so I could prepare them and you could make sweet corn creamy soup to complement with the grilled bread?"

"Yes, Sir Robin, it's ready for harvesting. I'd get the 10 ears ready for you now." With that, Will.I.Am took his dagger and went to the end of the garden to bring down 10 stalks of xorns and gingerly came back with the ears and prepared to un-kernel them.

"We would be having some Dwarven over for breakfast and dinner every night for another 83 days or so, Stef. So, don't be too wary of them. They are good characters and they are here to mine for minerals."

Soon Matilda and I were telling our cock and bull story about the early beginnings right till the time we chanced upon Will.I.Am and how we gave his freedom.

Stef listened while nodding in agreement and can't help wonder how I am so generous with strangers and how easily I make friends with them as well. Soon, the sweet corn creamed soup was being readied in the pot. A while later, our 7 guests arrived to have breakfast with us.
