Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 45

Eisen and Bree walked through town, and before going to the Inn made their way to the General Store to buy some equipment for which Eisen didn't have the time to make them himself, as well as some spices that might be useful while cooking.

The first things that Eisen bought were bags with salt and sugar, as well as some different spices like pepper, basil or rosemary, and at last some garlic cloves and onions, as well as a bottle of cooking oil.

On their way to the different kits, though, Eisen also saw some other herbs that he knew. Amran and Byron. And this alone gave Eisen some ideas to experiment. If these herbs could be used while making potions, maybe they also had some effect when included while cooking. So, Eisen also bought some small bags filled with these, and then walked over to the different kits.

There were all kinds there. Mining kits, lumbering kits, or even smithing kits. Eisen chose two different ones, once the basic camping kit with two tents, and the basic cooking kit.

Eisen and Bree decided that from tomorrow on, they would camp in the forest until Eisen's level reached 50, or preferably even higher. Since Eisen figured cooking counted as a crafting skill, he was also hoping to figure out how his Crafting Space skill worked when cooking in the forest.

After they bought the supplies they needed, the two of them walked back to the Inn to eat a bit, so that they could save the meat for the next day with the help of a short-term preservation spell from Bree. She really had a variety of spells she could use.

After Dinner, Bree talked to the owner of the Inn.

"H-Hey, Boss... Could we talk about something?" Bree walked up to the Innkeeper standing behind the front desk while fidgeting around with her fingers. He smiled and nodded. "Of course, what's the problem Lass?"

"It's not a problem, but... First, I want to thank you for your help. Without a place to stay I don't know what I would be doing right now. But it's about time I move on to someplace else... Eisen and I want to go on a Journey soon, so I won't be here too much longer."

"I see... Then thank ya for always doing such a great job, Bree. Ye were our best waitress, always wearin' a smile on yer face. We'll miss ye here. When are ya leavin' though? Right off the bat?"

Bree shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Boss. But no, not directly. Eisen and I wanted to camp outside of town tomorrow, and then we'll return to town to get some more things ready before we actually leave... But I can work when we're staying here the night, of course!"

"Don't worry about it, lass. Ye don't need to work anymore. I can spare the costs of a few nights' stay."

"R-Really, are you sure?"

"Of course! See it as a goobye present, lass."

"Thank you so much, Boss!" Bree smiled brightly and walked around the counter to give the Innkeeper a giant hug.

In the meantime, Eisen already went to his room and was cleaning his sword and thinking about combat tactics. It's been about 45 years, but he remembered a few things about the martial arts that he learned in his younger days while he was fighting today. He wasn't really able to completely do these things perfectly again, but at least his feel for his sword grew sligthly.

If Eisen met up with Brody at some point, maybe he could help Eisen out while practicing in return for making some equipment for him.

Either way, for now Eisen had to think about what to do next. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Eisen would fight as much as he could, and hopefully get close to level 50 so that he could properly fight in that Dungeon that Bree was talking about.
