Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 115

"A Knight's Pledge?" Eisen muttered out and immediately a notification popped up in front of him.

[Basic Information about Knights - As some changes will appear to the Knight once the pledge has been accepted that may accidentally lead to revelation of the existence of the game, the Player has to be warned and informed about basic changes so that they can be prepared.

By becoming the Knight of a Player, an NPC will gain some usually player-specific abilities, such as the regular chat option to only communicate with their Lord or other Knights serving the same Lord. Other than that, they will also gain mock-immortality, as it will be possible for the Player to revive them. The conditions for revival will depend on cause of death.

More specific information on the Knight system has to be gathered In-Game.]

Surprised at this notification, Eisen carefully read through it and began carefully thinking. When he heard it at first, Eisen wanted to decline since he didn't want to be a Person's 'Lord'. It was a different thing with pure monsters and taming them like it was the case with Caria and Melissa, since they would otherwise just end up being wild beasts and with Kiron, who was basically just a person that was 'technically' a monster and even had a parent that wasn't a monster, having a Follower like that just seemed way too weird to Eisen.

But now there were some reasons for Eisen to accept. While he didn't want anyone else in his group to be far away from him, having someone like Kiron that was capable of taking care of himself quite well, that knew a lot about the world they were in simply because he lived in it for 150 years, and that he could talk to through the chat function was definitely useful for many things, especially the thing that was coming closer and closer without delay through Eisen's killing-spree in the monster-shop. He was only two levels away from reaching level 99, and after finishing the quest he would get then, he could reach level 100 and found a guild just as Jyuuk suggested.

Eisen already made plans to prepare for that quest as well as possible, which was part of the reason why he wanted to get the Bookbinding skill. According to Jyuuk, it would require the Originals to learn many different skills or have certain achievements to make it happen, so Eisen wanted to prepare as much as he could before getting that quest, but it seemed like that wouldn't work just as well now.

And the reason that Eisen didn't want to leave anyone in his current group behind or let them move alone was quite simple as well. Bree couldn't take care of herself all that well, since she wasn't capable of fighting all that well yet. She had been getting better with the hammer, but it would still be a while off until she could fight alone.

He obviously didn't want to let his tamed beasts go, as they were litterally just children and Eisen just didn't feel comfortable leaving them alone. As for Komer, Eisen wanted to, at least for now, keep an Eye on him as much as he could. He didn't know whether or not Komer would end up returning to scamming again because he was desperate if Eisen wasn't there.

So if Kiron joined his group, Eisen would finally have someone he could entrust with tasks such as finding a great spot to start a town, or to simply go on recon missions if necessary. This would be an immense help in the long run, but it would require Kiron to become his 'subordinate'.

While Eisen was thinking about all of this, Kiron, who was still bowing in front of him, lightly nodded his head.

"It is so. I am deeply indebted to you for freeing me from imprisonment. And I know that you are of a pure heart, you and the other four that reached the peak of existence all are. You are all my father's benefactors and friends, after all, especially you." Kiron explained, leaving Eisen to simply sigh out loud.
