Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 25

Eisen and Bree made their way out of Jekyll's Hides for the day. On their way out, Eisen was stopped by Jekyll so that he could take a look at the leather apron. Just like Denmir and Folmirra, Jekyll ws quite shocked to see that Eisen seemingly so easily broke through the limits of his skill, especially considering the leather he was using.

But in the end, Jekyll simply looked really tired and waved both of them out of the shop. He did talk to Denmir and Folmirra, after all. They probably told Jekyll about Eisen breaking the limits of two skills already, so he might have been expecting it to an amount, but was still surprised to actually see it happen.

Either way, Eisen and Bree simply made their way over to the Inn again, and Eisen quickly paid for a room to bring all of his items there before eating. After setting them down and finally having his hands free, Eisen left his room again. To his surprise, he noticed a young man standing at the end of the corridor, looking out of his room. But when he noticed that Eisen saw him, he immediately panicked and pulled his head back.

Trying to ignore this, since there wasn't a simple way to find out what this was all about, Eisen locked his room and stepped down the stairs, walking toward the restaurant. After enjoying a nice Dinner with Bree, both of them continued talking for a while, although mostly about unimportant and casual things.

About an hour later, they said goodnight and Eisen made his way back to his room. This time, after turning the corner to his room, he saw the young man from before standing in front of the door to Eisen's room.

He looked to be about twenty years old, his skin was dark, and he had pointy ears like an elf. Eisen looked up some things about the fantasy game genre, just to build up his general knowledge a bit more, and from what he could tell this young man was a Dark Elf. His body was quite scrawny, and he was wearing dark blue clothes bordering on black that made it easy to hide in the shadows.

Again, the young man immediately reacted when he saw Eisen and ran off before the old man had any chance to react. "What was that about?" Eisen muttered to himself and shook his head. He would need to be more careful, since it seems like there could be thieves targeting him and his possessions even in this game.

Eisen stepped into his room and locked the door behind himself. First, Eisen checked all of his belongings to make sure the young man didn't manage to steal anything. Luckily, everything seemed to still be there, so Eisen sighed loudly and sat down on his bed.

"I really need to figure out a place I can put all of these. I can't just carry all of this stuff around with me all the time. And I definitely can't leave them in here..."

Eisen sighed and shook his head, lying down in the bed while he thought of how to go forward with everything. Once he made a carriage, most things would be taken care of while he's travelling. He would have a place to sleep, somewhere to put all his items, and probably also enough space to craft some items. But then there would be the problem of security. After all, Eisen couln't just bring the carriage everywhere when he was hunting outside, and leaving it alone would be a dumb thing to do. There could be thieves roaming around everywhere, and Eisen didn't want to risk losing all of his items.

Maybe he would be able to find some kind of magical way to make sure his items won't be stolen. Of course he could always fortify the carriage with steel to make sure it's not easily broken into, but since this is a fantasy world, Eisen wanted to take advantage of every single opportunity to make great items with the help of Magic.

He already did so with his own Zweihänder, as he infused it with Magic while making it, and with Bree's Dress, which he created from something that is basically a purely magical substance.

Obviously there were different ways to work with magic, and Eisen was sure he wasn't aware of the big majority of them.

However, he hoped to find out more about Magic when he would start working with Morrom two days later. But that would also mean he only had a single day left to finish Bree's backpack, as well as his leather armor, as well as some shoes. Although the shoes were the thing that could probably wait the longest. There might actually be a designated shoemaker in Melroe, so going there might be the best idea, and that could wait until after Eisen finished his time at Everything Magic.
