Chapter 103 - 103. Red Mage Patricia Joins The Party (1/2)
The next morning, the children were up and running about using the staircase and the landings to practise their PK and I thought to myself that these children should have a better place to practise their newly acquired traits and hobby.
After breakfast, I discussed matters with Patricia. ”I would like to bring the children to the Northern Forest where they could practise their PK, shoot some wild boars while they are at it and also I need to ask NoOne for his appraisal on the new weapons. Furthermore, you could bring out the staff and kill some wild boars too. Wouldn't it be great?”
”Sure... Let them perform their daily tasks first and then we could head out to the Northern Forest. It's been so long since I practise my Frost and Lightning attacks. By the way, is the staff ready yet?” Patricia asked and I slapped my forehead since I had forgotten all about it.
”Haiya... I forgot to ask the wisps to help me imbue the staff for you. They had been busy doing all the other works that I had forgotten all about it. However, the staff that I would be imbuing for you is a special one. It may or may not help you to gain faster in your levels. Here, take this 100 points first and distribute to your attributes first.” I said as I passed 100 allocation points to Patricia to allocate in her attributes first beforehand.
”Here, take these earrings, bracelet, anklets and this cute headband for yourself. It's +25 for all attributes and as a Wizard, I think you have another attribute called Intelligence. Dump 40 points in there and it will also improve your Mana as well as your Attack and Damage Rating for Wizardry. Just like mine.” I suggested and she did so and the balance was divided equally and since she wore the accessories, she had gained +100 on her INT.
”Wow... I can feel the power surge within my body when it hits 145. The rest was at base 5 +15 allocated plus another +100 from these 4 accessories making them +120 altogether. How about the children?” Patricia asked and I dangled the 4 sets in front of her. I don't think Adam would be suited to wear a headband in front of his forehead and also a set of earrings. But since the earrings are a clip-on type I think it should be fine since there was no piercing involved.
”Children, come and get your accessories... Daddy made them for Mummy and now I could feel its power and strength.” and when the children came to get theirs, they were delighted to find that their +42 attributes had become +142 overall.
Since the children are actually not a full-fledged wizard since they were using shouts and some passive and active spells, the did not INT shown in their attributes and instead have 4 that would be fully emphasised. A sudden rise in the DEX made them even more agile and able to perform the rest of the traits well. The only thing is that their level of progress remained the same.
”How does one improve their progress? System, are you there... I'm using my thoughts to communicate with you.”
*Ding* Anything concerning LUCK would improve their progress level. It could be a 4 leaf clover, rabbits foot, horseshoe, acorn, a painting of a goldfish, dream catcher, a painting of an elephant, a physical key, a picture of a physical ladybug, a picture or a physical mushroom, picture of a number 7, scarab, an old shoe, a penny, a piece of quartz, a picture of a tortoise or a physical one, a picture of a unicorn, a physical wishbone, a picture of a yew tree and a zumi bean.
”That's a mouthful... A picture of any of those would improve luck, am I right? Not necessarily to be a physical one especially a tortoise and other large items like an elephant.”
*Ding* Right you are, Host. Just look at the coat of arms. Presently, you could design one of your own and have at least 5 to 6 of them to call it as Macleod's.
”Thanks, system, I made a note of it. Let me know when everything is ready since I need to make the staff for Patricia.” I said as I tried to delay the time to hand her the precious staff that I would try to imbue with the latest Level 15 Iron ingot that was made before the coma.
”We will head to the Atelier when we are in the way, would that be alright, dear? I need to see some designs and the House of Keating would soon have a new coat of arms for the Macleod's collection.” I suggested and she agreed as the children went about their duties to check the production plants were working smoothly.
Once the children had done, they went to the Strongbow Tavern and then to the Keating's Day Care Centre to help guide the rest of the toddlers and small children there.
I managed to slip into the Realm of Mind and I went to a free Fusion Chamber that had completed its task and inserted Patricia's Shepherd's Crook inside it and then I placed 2 pieces of Level 15 iron ingot in the Fusing slot. I pushed the slider to CREATE/WEAPON and then I choose the one that would make it more suitable for our new mage. It was the Mark of Magi... The one that I had created for Stef and the rest of the Mages back in series 7.
I kissed the fusion chamber's door, closed it and crank the lever. I waited for about 15 minutes before I heard a notification and it was like sweet juicy steak waiting for me to chomp...
*Ding* Santa's coming early this winter... Congratulations. Creation Success. Level 15 Iron Mark of Magi Staff. Damage +2250 Mana +2250. 10 base points x15x15. Sockets 0/5
I logged off and returned to the real world and I think Patricia would be super delighted with the design and also the damage rating and the addition of her mana.
When Patricia came back to the table, she saw me smiling like a silly kid and can't help by asking, ”Well... You sure look kind of happy today. Do you have anything surprisingly good?” I kept smiling at her and I simply said, ”You won't believe what good tidings you would going to have very soon.” and subconsciously she held her hand over her belly.
”Not that, my dear... Time will tell... Are the children done with their tasks?” and as soon as I mentioned it, the children entered the door and barged right in. ”We'd get change soon, Daddy... These new accessories were the envy of those adventurers and were asking where we got them,” exclaimed Ingles as she bounded upstairs to get changed.
”I just replied to them that our Daddy is the one that gave these to us,” replied Jane as she too bounded after her elder sister. ”I told them House of Keating would be recruiting soon and we four are going to be their mentors,” added Kayla as she too bounded upstairs after saying so.
