349 7.77 The Vagabonds To The Party

The 80 adventurers had gone through 3 small party raids against demons level 51-60 and had gotten a total of 75 gold coins so far. They had decided that it is time to move up to another level where they had gone through 5 small party raids with demons from level 61-70 and were rewarded with 27 gold coins for each round.

After the 80 adventurers had gone through 8 small party raids, they had accumulated a total amount of 210 gold coins so far. "We still have a long way to and we got 5 days at it. Why don't we take a break and then we continue?"

They all went to the tavern and sat down and occupied every single seat that's available and they can't help to be noticed by some battle-hardened adventurers and newcomers as well. A whole army wearing identical armour and coat of arms paints a rather magnificent view and they talked softly among each other and there was no demeanour of arrogance at all.

"Hello there, I've heard about you when I joined this adventure, you're from The Vagabonds, right? Would you mind me asking you a few questions?" a young adventurer in cloth armour and welding a common class sword asked.

"Sure, Young adventurer, what can we do to be of your assistance." replied the sergeant swordsman.

"Would we be able to join you even when we are at level 1 right now? We know that you are of a much higher level than us but would there be a chance since we were all new to this adventurer things?"

"Right now we do not have any openings since we are the primary tier of the Band of Vagabonds. The decisions would be made later by our leader and captains since we are now in our lull period. Furthermore, if you'd join us later, it would be under a secondary tier."

"Even at the lowest level, you still experience those points and level up since we would be grinding monsters or demons at a higher level than you should be dealing with. Worry not, just add us to your notifications and once there's an opening for fresh recruitment, you'd soon be notified and quickly join us."

"We were the lucky few that managed to enter within a 10 minute window period and its limited slots available. As I've said, the decision lies from our leader and captains. It would be best for you to grind, gather spoils, sell them and also earn experience points as you go along."

"Thank you so much for the information, I and my friends will keep in touch. We hope to be able to join you in the quest to wipe out these demons from the face of the earth. Good day and may we meet again sometime..."

With that the young adventurers turned and left, feeling a bit dejected but with a glimmering hope to join The Band of Vagabonds that had a name for themselves in helping the towns to clear the menacing demons from further harassment.

....

"So what would be going to do next? We are a bit hungry and tired after having 8 straight small party raids. It has given us some experience points and quite a handful of gold coins which we need to save up to get ourselves the tomes we require and not depending on our leader." said an Archer.

"I'm going to dispose of these broken Armor and weapons that I had picked up and sell them to collect more cash from the NPCs....would we going for another 3 rounds before we head back?" suggested another Barbarian.

"Seems like a good idea, we grind at these party raid and head back to Camp Salvation to rest. We would set out again after breakfast and hit those higher-level demons for more cash flow."

"Alright, as our Sir Robin always say, 'Let there be blood...!' H O O A H H..."

"H O O A H H..." choruses the 79 others as they finished up their ginseng ale and heads back to the bulletin board and register for another onslaught. Soon after 3 more rounds, they had collected another 81 gold coins, sold off their spoils and then headed back to Camp Salvation with not a single casualty or injuries.

....

"Will, would the 80 adventurers be coming back for dinner? If they do come back, what would you be preparing later? We had trapped more than a dozen migrating ducks, had dressed them and were now being smoked by a fireplace over there." asked Alleicea as she had finished placing some green leaves over the fireplace and thick whitish smoke emits from there to smoke the 20 ducks that had been smoked and preserved.

"I haven't tasted these smoked ducks before, Sis Ally... Is it nice? Does it taste like chicken? By the way, does smoking them makes them cooked too?"

"Ah... It tastes very nice since they had been soaked with some herbs beforehand in warm water. It's very delectable and smoking them preserves their meat from spoiling. Furthermore, these ducks had been halved so it could be properly smoked. Just need to be careful not to have flames underneath those bamboo grills that we made."

"Use the pastry brush over here to smother these ducks with their fat when it got heated up, and once the underside of the meat looks dry, turn the duck to the other side to smoke it as well. I've checked with the sergeants and they told me that they would be in their way for late dinner. They were in small party raids, they said." instructed Will.I.Am to the two girls as he handed them the pastry brushes for the ducks.

"Do you like being here with the rest of the adventurers, Will? You told us of your stories before you were liberated and choose to stay or to leave and you decided to stay."

"As long as there's a roof over my head and protected from the elements, I am truly thankful. I am an orphan just like you and I've been rougher times, moving from one household to another as a slave, not as a servant."

"The moment I was liberated, I had made up my mind to stay and render my services to The Band of Vagabonds that was made up of 4 members during that time. I am a grower, a cultivator as well as ginseng and Spirulina harvester. Heh heh heh..."

"I am glad that Sis Stef and Sis Matilda took notice of us when we were sitting at the pavement. I thought that we would die of starvation and cold since no one even wanted to look at us and we felt that we were worse than dog shit on the side of the road."

"That's all in the past, we have our own future here and the best thing is to make everyone comfortable as possible. Hurry with the rice, we need to have 40 scoops of that to feed 80 hungry adventurers."

....

Soon, Will.I.Am, Alleicea and Aventina prepared 40 'lengs' of steamed rice, 40 scrambled eggs with chopped string bean, onions and chilli. A vegetable soup made from wild mustard leaves, tapioca shoots, potatoes and carrots with 83 pieces of grilled fish that they had caught from the river.

It was a simple dish meal and when the adventurers had finally reached Camp Salvation, they were welcomed by the delicious smell of the food and everyone contributed 2 coppers each to Will.I.Am and the two support girls to replenish some of the stock required.

Even though it was not required for the adventurers to pay for their meals, but the sight of the feast before them brought them joy. They had seen the 20 ducks that were in the process of smoking and preservation and they knew that the days to come for their meals would be taken care of.

Will.I.Am took the 160 coppers and set it aside in one of the small wooden chests that is being used for groceries and checked the stocks and noted of which would need to be replenished.

Inside the small wooden chest, there are 4 gold coins and 20 shillings that were given by me so that Will.I.Am could buy the necessities if the stock runs out.
