The Ruined Death Knight

Making firstly a trip to the local stores, he went ahead and bought supplies for his runesmithing.

Since now he had someone who would actually get rid of all of his stuff inside the storage ring, he had to make sure that he wouldn't run out of items to give Honor.

Through his experience, he was pretty confident that that item would be sold in a frenzy.

With Honor having the same opinion as I, he wanted to go and start carving some runes right now.

As he deeply doubt that those 40 contracts that he gave Honor would be enough.

Through he had a bunch of runed weapons lying in the church and his storage ring, Honor decided against selling them for now.

Although he didn't understand the reason why, in the end, he agreed and shrugged it off as a merchant doing merchant things.

Since he accept supplying him with weapons and armor in the meantime, he didn't care much as when the things are going to be sold.

As long he was getting the resources needed to continue his craft, that being runesmithing. He didn't care as much.

But since the supply from Honor would be ready to be picked in a week, he had nothing else to do currently.

After buying several small daggers and paper, ignoring the weird looks he was getting he made his way towards the church.

And before long, he arrived at the deserted part of Nercana in front of the church.

"Hmmm?"

Feelings a presence watching him from the front, he looked around until his gaze met with a pair of eyes watching him from the church.

Realizing he was been found, the one watching him more hastily out of the way.

"From there must that kid Kayn saw me killing those guys..." Shaking his head, he unlocked the door and went inside.

The first thing that caught this attention was a small boy that nervously looked at him.

'This eyes...so it was him' 

With him recently evolving into a Wight and with the huge increase of his agility, his senses have improved for the better.

'If it weren't for having a curse on an enemy, being able to even sense someone like this would be impossible.'

Naturally, he didn't just grind XP through the following week.

Instead, he explored the limits of his newfound body.

As suddenly acquiring such power and speed took time for him to control. If not he wouldn't be surprised to accidentally break the key to his front door.

Another problem was that armor that he couldn't feel the weight of his armor anymore, which made it difficult for him to get used to being so weightless once again.

The first day he tried to use [Swift Movements] after his evolution he almost threw himself to the ground face forward.

In the first place, if it weren't for the wildlife and this body he could probably earn more than twice the amount of XP at the end of the week.

Although it was quite annoying at first, it was an unavoidable task that he had to deal with.

And besides how his stats had grown, what surprised him was the difference between a Wight's body and a Draugr one's.

The toughness of his bones the better flow of dead mana was miles better than his body of before.

It was similar to the Alpha wolf he killed.

Although his stats were higher than the wolf's, just the massive body of the Alpha wolf was enough to negate his advantage.

Putting the key of the door away, he went down to the basement and let all the staff he was carrying down to the stone table.

"The bottles seem to be still fine...I guess no one came here while I left."

After organizing the stuff he bought, he nodded to himself and made his way towards the main floor.

Appearing from the trap door, the kids who were doing their own thing turned around and looked confused at him.

"Isn't he suppose to stay another week down?"

"Maybe he will for another week."

"..." 

Hearing those commands Danzel couldn't help but shake his head internally.

Those kids sounded as if a freeloader just came without even permission insider they're home.

'What's wrong being at my own house?'

Moving his gaze through the hall, he stopped at a particular group.

'Over there.'

Going down the stage, he walked slowly towards that group.

The group he was referring to was that of Kayn, Marcus, and Anna.

Anna who was sitting on the side stared at the two boys in front of her having an intense fight.

Kayn who move swiftly and accurately without showing a hint of mistake seemed like he was bullying Marcus who in comparison each punch he did leave a big gap for Kayn to take advantage of.

Although the punch itself was quite strong for a 1st-tier, the hot-blooded nature of his made him make many unnecessary mistakes.

Even though Kayn could probably end the fight in an instant, since he was going easy on Marcus he had to focus all the more as a hit from him wouldn't go unhurt.

With both of them concentrating on their spar, they failed to notice the tall figure that was slowly approaching them.

But that wasn't the same for Anna who just saw Danzel coming their way.

'Why is he. Coming here?'

"Kayn, Marcus, the knight is coming to us-" Anna said in a hurry with a worried face.

Unfortunately, the two boys being in their own world didn't hear her warning.

'Marcus should be reaching his limit by now' Kayn thought.

Seeing Marcus heavy breathing, he dodges the incoming punch of him by moving his head to the side and punching Marcus on the guts.

Falling to the ground, Marcus grabbed his belly out of pain.

"Aghh, Kayn you idiot. Did you really have t-" stopping mid-containing, Marcus' eyes widen up.

The next moment, a big shadow covered Kayn.

Seeing Marcus' expression and the feeling of someone being behind him, he swiftly turned around and throw a first as fast as he could.

"Mhhm, Not bad. You even improved " Danzel said as he grabbed Kays shoulder from behind.

'How did he appear from behind me?' Kayn thought as he gazed at Danzel's arm as if he was currently experiencing some kind of trauma.

The pain of him being thrown away like a rag doll was still fresh on this mind.

"That's not important right now. What is important is that I got a deal for you guys?"

Hearing that, the drop fell silent and a feeling of dread came upon them.

"Hmpf, you just want to use us! Like hell we are going to wo-"

"Marcus, please shut up," Anna said from the said.

"..." Like a fish trying to speak the native language, Marcus opened and closed his mouth.

Moving away from Danzel's arm, he gazed at Danzel with suspicion.

"...What might you be talking about?"

Putting his hand inside the cloak, Danzel pulled out a small bag.

"You see, I observed you guys being in lack of food recently. So I thought I might be able to help you guys with your current situation"

Handing over the bag to Kayns hand, he stepped two steps back and waited for their response.

Feeling the weight of the bag, he opened it and what he saw made Anna and him suck their breaths.

"Gold coins-"

"So much-"

Gulping their saliva, they looked at each other as if they found hope once again.

But remembering what the man in front of them just said the hope turned into doubt.

"What do you want from us?" Kayn said with a cold voice.

Shrugging his shoulder at them, he started explaining.

"You see, one merchant friend of mine is currently supplying me with resources that I am in desperate need to further my research."

"With how busy I am, wasting just an hour to pick that stuff would delay some of my projects. That's why I want you guys to go and pick it up for me. Nothing more, nothing else."

"For that, I am willing to give you guys 100 gold coins per month if you help me with that."

"100!?"

"Seriously!?"

Hearing that their which became as big as their doubt.

"Why us? For you, we should be just a bunch of kids freeloading at your house. Why hire us and not someone else?" Anna said with doubt.

'The deal is way too good for us. It's way too suspicious.' She thought to herself.

'So you are self-conscious...' Danzel cursed internally before continuing.

"I could hire someone, but you see... The supplies that I am in need are of a high value to me. And I don't want to risk it getting stolen after I paid for them from some greedy mercenaries."

"In comparison, if I hire you, even if you steal from me. You will be forced to leave the church." Danzel said with an amusement tone.

Reaching my hand out for I handshake, Danzel said with a deep tone.

"Is it a deal then?"
