Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 114

As Eisen was looking at the group of monsters seemingly getting along great with his tamed creatures as well as the Fey-Kin Sky, a notification popped up in front of his face.

[New Message]

[Jyuuk] Hey Eisen, I'm not in the wastelands yet, no, but I'm passing by near Ornier right now. It may take an hour or two, but I can be there if you need me to. Where should we meet?

Eisen smiled as he read through this message. Seems like he just perfectly managed to message Jyuuk while he was moving near Ornier, so all would hopefully work out as he planned as well.

So, Eisen messaged the Monkey-Beastperson back while grinning widely.

[Eisen] What a coincidence! I will tell you the exact location later, but it will be outside of the town itself. I will explain the situation later as well. See you then.

Eisen waved the window in front of him away and looked forward at the group standing in front of him. "Alright, do any of you know if there's a secret tunnel in here, maybe? I doubt they would be able to just smuggle you in here through the regular gate." After Eisen asked this, the Half-Dragon Kiron spoke up immediately.

"Yes, I remember it quite well. There should be a wall that can be opened up somewhere in this room. I shall help you look for it." Kiron said, but Eisen simply shook his head.

"That's fine. Caria, can you look for it?" Eisen asked, and the small Myconid nodded before numerous plants, whether they were weeds, flowers or just roots, began growing everywhere in the room, until one of the walls began to move and slid to the side, pushed open by those plants.

"See? It's that easy." The old man bragged while placing his palm on the top of Caria's head before looking toward the hole that was now opened up. "Everyone, follow me. We're leaving town. A friend of mine will come meet us soon, so we only need to wait for him. He can be trusted, don't worry." Eisen assured all of the monsters before they quickly rushed out toward the tunnel seemingly leading out of town, while Eisen was walking in the front to make sure that they really were making their way toward the outside.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally reached the end of the tunnel, which seemed to be basically just a hidden cave entrance. It really was quite out of the way, so it was unlikely for anything or anyone to find their way their coincidentally, but it was still in the realm of possibilities.

Either way, for now, Eisen would just need to wait for a while. Eisen told Jyuuk the rough position when comparing where they were to the town, and then chose to sit down somewhere where Eisen could start experimenting a bit. After all, he had quite some freetime until Jyuuk got there. As such, Eisen took out the eight soul stones that he got from slaying the High-Grade products from the Monster Shop. When Eisen looked a little bit closer at the small orbs, it looked like something was shifting inside of them.

Judging just from the name, it seemed like this literally contained a monster's soul, but Eisen wasn't really sure. "Wait, if it's that, then could I...?" Eisen muttered to himself quietly as he grabbed the first soul stone he got together with that monster's Mana Crystal. "I definitely have to try that out..." Eisen muttered out quietly, internally beating himself up for not bringing his alchemy gear, even though that would be a slight bit insane.

"Just gotta do that later, then..." He muttered out while starting to play around with the mana crystal in his hand, using transmutation in whatever way possible so that he could rank up his Alchemy skill sometime soon to allow him to do some more new things.

While the monsters were all mostly just sitting or laying down near Eisen, basking in the sun and breathing in the fresh air, two people came up to Eisen. Kiron and Sky.
