The Tricksters Way Book 1: The Mortal Universe

Chapter 51 - Arrival At Bandit Mountain.

(Sorry i missed the Saturday release day, i was ill all last week and fell behind in my college work.
I hope this Chapter will give you a taste of what is to come in Lux's Assault on Bandit Mountain.
-sorry Author.)

They traveled 200,000km over 10 days, they kept busy by training in the onboard training area.

On the 11th day, they stopped at an oasis in the middle of a desert which they were traveling through.
The desert's name was the Red Sand Desert.

The Trio created a campsite next to the oasis, it consisted of huts made of compressed sand (Made by Lux), a glass Fire Pit (Made by Lux) and wooden Chairs (Made by Lux).

They then sat and began to chat with each other.
Lux sat in his chair and created a Glass cauldron which he placed over the Fire Pit.
He then magically engraved a Fireball Inscription inside the Fire Pit with a Universal Energy Gathering Inscription inside it to power it.
When he was finished, a medium sized Fireball grew out of the Fireball inscription and floated underneath the Glass Cauldron.
Lux then used his Rain Spell to fill the cauldron half way. (2 litres)
He then added chopped Fire Bull meat into the cauldron. (500g chopped 1 inch X 1 inch X 1 inch.)
He then added chopped Orange Tomatoes (100 grams) and finely chopped Silver Garlic (3 cloves).

He then created a Glass Lid for the cauldron, from the nearby sand using fire and earth magic.
He covered the Cauldron and let it boil away.

As the Soup was cooking, he then reached into his Vault Bracelet and took out 3 bottled of Wine from his Wine cellar.
He hands one to Aerin and Jared and says "Cheers!"

Aerin and Jared both shout "Cheers" and take a swig from the wine bottles.

They Chat about what they plan to do once they reach Bandit mountain.

"So what is the plan Lux?" asks Jared.

"Well the plan is to sneak into Bandit Mountain and try to blend in.
I will try to find some weak bandits to enslave using my Tyrants Grasp spell, which I gained from the Sanguine Magicka Tribe in black leaf forest.
I will force them to work for me and become my spies.
What do you both think?"

Aerin frowns and says "We shouldn't enslave people, we should offer them a choice."

Jared shakes his head and says "I agree with Lux, we should enslave them quickly and quietly.
Once we are certain they can't betray us, then we can slowly take over Bandit mountain.
I went to the City of Miracles and bought a Politics file for bandit mountain.
The mountain is controlled by 3 Large Bandit groups which rule the thousands of small bandit groups which live on Bandit mountain.

The 3 Bandit groups are Called; The Thunderbird Group, the Lava Toad Group and the War Monkey Group.
The Thunderbird group live on the mountain peak, they are the strongest as they have the most Air mages of the 3 major Bandit groups, also you need to fly if you want to reach their base.

Next is the Lava Toad Group, they live half way up the mountain where the volcano caves are. They have the most Fire Mages of the 3 clans, they have an alliance with the Thunderbird Group, they act as warriors while the Thunderbird group supply food to the Lava Toad Clan.

And last is the weakest member of the 3 groups, the War Monkey group.
This group live at the bottom of the mountain, in the swamps and waterfalls.
They are deadly because they use the surrounding waters to drown any trespass, because of the War Monkey group, the Lava Toad group can't gather supplies, hence why they have an alliance with the Thunderbird Group.

We will need to infiltrate the War Monkey group first which means we will need to transform the car into a Boat or at least make it float on the water, not above it."
