350 7.78 The Peddler In York

*Bling Bling* *Bling Bling*

"Who is this sending me a PM from an unknown person? Boss Hugo, leader of The Flaming Arrows...I wonder what he wants." I said as I accepted the incoming PM.

"Hey, mate. Wonder if I could use your men to party up with mine for the Party Raid that we are currently engaged in? We were having a stalemate and hoped the addition of your men could boost up the success rate. Furthermore we had been at it for some days and was wondering if you guys would assist in battling for one day. Regards, Hugo. (TFA)"

"Hmm, the usual air of arrogance is still there. I think he got rejected by the sergeants when he approach them personally and now he's asking me to be a proxy for our men to send to their deaths... *Haiyaaaa*"

"What is the matter, Robin?" asked Stef as we sat down in the fireplace of the front of Matilda's Granny thatched hut. "Yeah Boss, I thought no one would be disturbing you at all." commented Jean Lethal as this was a lull period and earlier he had received some notifications about the tomes that the adventurers were interested in learning and also the small party raids that they were involved.

"Arch... Its nothing really. Just an old acquaintance. I'd do a quick reply and asked him to inquire with the adventurers themselves since I am not with them. Our 80 adventurers were busy with their own small party raids as well."

"Hello old friend. Sorry I'm out of reach right now. Please do ask the sergeants of my band if they wanted to join you since they themselves are busy with their own party raids. The answer lies with them and not me since I am not with them. Cheerio. Robin (TBOV)" I composed a quick response and sent it back to him and put my status as busy so u won't be getting any new broadcast except within our team. Hahahaha.

"Hello Elder, how are you? It had been many moons since I'veast met you."

"Ah, Robin... I'm fine. You didn't do anything to my cutie pie, do you? You brought friends along, that's good. At least they could keep your hands and feet where they belong." said the Elder as she patted her little hand on Matilda's head.

"So what had been happening for the past few months that I've never heard news from. I told you to stay out for a few days and you were gone like how many months already? Did you try to scamp away from your archery training?"

"Oh, don't worry about this archery thingy. I just carry this around for formality purposes only. Oh yeah, did the Sheriff of Nottingham harass you in anyway?"

"He didn't, of course, since I'm a respectable old lady, you know. He had his hands busier now since the incoming of demons into the King's land now. He had been gathering bands to organise party raids and there's a rather famous band, The Band of..."

"Vagabonds... Granny... And that's us...!!!" shouted Matilda in delight.

"Aww... Don't be silly cutie pie, its not the Vagabonds or the Vengaboys... Its the Band of Brothers. Its made up of 240 Archers and they are also melee combatants like Robin here. Cloth armour, and impervious to Heat, Cold and Lightning magic."

"Wahhhh... It sure sounds powerful. 240 archers and all were aimed down to the enemies, 240 arrows every few seconds. No one can escape from the rain of arrows in that manner." remarked Jean Lethal as he imagined 240 archers marching down the battlefield and each of them unleashes 15 per minute.

"Quit dreaming JL, you and silly boy here is always up to ideas which are either too big to digest or simply not feasible. How you going to find so many archers...? By the way silly boy here have just informed us about the new finding of new tomes that would enhance some of the members."

"Just wistful thinking, old granny's cutie pie. Hoo Hoo Hoo... Nothing to it and it wouldn't hurt to dream about such fantasies, right Boss?"

I ignored both of them due to their incessant bickering after finding out Matilda's pet name from her granny.

"Here, try my new recipe to rejuvenate yourself. It's called Bandwreck, it's boiled water then with brown sugar, lemongrass, ginger, screwpineleaves, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Try it, it's very nice, mild gingerish taste with a hint of lemongrass and scents of these herbs."the leader gestured as she handed out cups of these wonderfully scented drink and added some goat's milk for taste.

"We had been doing mostly physical attacks, except for Stef here and was wondering the names of our moves during battles. Would you guys want some spells to add to your physical attacks? I would like to add to mine, what do you guys think about yours?"

"I would like to rename my 3 main spell attas as Frostbite, Hellfire, Lightning Strike as Death from Above and FrostBeam remains." said Stef as she straighten her Mages hat and sipped the Bandwreck the Elder had handed to her.

"I would like to see any spells available for Swordsman. The Doppelganger sounds nice to have but I would to see any others or not that suits me."

"Yeah Boss, we both been using the physical attacks and having spells and also naming some of our moves sure make it more 'swee', don't you think?"

"Yup, it sure is. Elder, please excuse us after this, the 4 would like to go around York and see whats in store. I never got the chance to move about in York merchant District since I had come here before."

"Where did you come from, Robin?"

"Before this, I think I remember it was Battersby, a small little town in the middle of the woods with some paths passing through it. I was in the marketplace and something horrible happened and made me flee from the scene and chanced upon the Elder, after being more than 9 hours on the run."

"Just forget about my past shall we? It had been long forgotten and I also didn't recall much of what's happening there before. Let's put the past behind us and we could go to the merchant district and see what the Peddler has in store for us."

....

"Wow...! This place is just like Leeds and they got alot of new merchants selling their wares this we have never seen before... Simply wow!" commented Jean Lethal in a remarkable manner as he had never seen quite a galore as this since he was in Leeds before.

"Here's a Peddler, maybe we can ask him what he have for those staffers." said Jean Lethal as he approached the Peddler and asked for the sales list for Staffers and he got himself a list based on a Paragon or a pole wielder.

"These are the new group of adventurers that had been named since the old one had been dropped. Any adventurer who holds a quarterstaff or a pole arm would fall automatically in this group. Have you not heard of the new system upgrade?"

The peddler mentioned and handed us a saleslist based on the new current warrior class that we had never heard on the system notifications before. Maybe we are just plain busy building hearths out in the forest while other adventurers stays in towns and villages.

"Cool...!!! I never knew I could have these spells to help those around me. Look, Boss, here's a SHOUT spell called 'Brace Yourself'. Prevents the next knock-down and deals 15...63...75 damage to all foes near target ally within 15 seconds. No cooling time required. Cost 15 gold coins."

"Here's another SHOUT spell called 'Fall Back' Allies in earshot gain 5...13...15 Health per second while moving and move 33% faster within 10 seconds. No cooling time required. 15 gold coins."

We looked at Jean Lethal who was flipping the sales book excitedly and were smiling at him as if he had just unwrapped his Christmas presents early in Easter. Hahahahaha.
