Chapter 56: Meeting the mysterious NPC again (1/2)
Rudra completed the test , SSS at that , and went on to get the best possible skill set he could gain to increase his battle strength .
Rudra wondered if all this was enough to catch the eye of the catwoman.
He walked out of the test area and yes there she was looking at him with a grin , Rudra was sure she ment no harm , however her catlike facial features made the grin look like she was ready to devour Rudra as if he was a big fat tasty fish!.
The catwoman said ” Hello adventurer , my name is Patricia won knight , my family hails from the famous knight Augustus Won Knight and we are responsible for mentaining and evaluating all the new recruits of this knight's hall. ”
Rudra was shocked! Augustus Won Knight was a legendary tier 5 NPC , hands down one of the strongest knights in the history of the game. In the history of the then Hazelgroove Empire , he single handedly defended the eastern battlefield from the onslaught of a beasttide. He was a legend amongst legends who slayed a dragon!.
” You are the first otherworldly adventurer to walk into this hall and your aptitude does not dissapoint , you walked in like just any other adventurer taking the test however being the first SSS assesed promoted in the last 20 years your strength has increased by leaps and bounds in a short time ”. Patricia continued
” Your meritorious deeds indeed donot dissapoint and as actions speak louder than words , they are the proof of your righteous character ... Say kid would you like to follow the steps of Augustus Won Knight and become a Legendary knight? ” .
Rudra was blank for a moment .... This was too much information to process in a short while, however he nodded unconsciously
[ Hier to Augustus Won Knight ] ( S ) ( Quest ) : succesfully promote your tier from 1-3 with a SSS rating to get the legendary class Knight Of The Empire
It was the quest that lead to the selection of a legendary class. There were no special methods to reach legendary classes in ' Omega ' or so Rudra thought , never had he heard about the legendary class Knight Of The Empire , and never had he heard about a quest leading to one.
Ofcourse it was not a special method , it still needed him to get a SSS rating in tier 3 promotion quest , which also gave a list of legendary classes upon completion.
However this quest also demanded him to get a SSS rating in the tier 2 promotion. How odd.
” Remove the armour kid and follow me ”. The catwoman said. Rudra followed her into what seemed like a mansion behind the Knights hall ..... The mansion was huge and studded with riches , it seemed more luxurious than even his guild hall! Just who is this woman?
Rudra was lead into a study type room with lots of books and a small burning fire in the room , above which was a chimney , in the fire there was a steel rod and what seemed like a brand .
Patricia picked up the brand and murmured something in a tongue that Rudra did not understand ” blazakich umitri dovana unredra makano valak zuma divitri no mikadeva ”.
The brand which was red hot before now began to glow golden. ” Brace yourself boy ” Patricia said as she branded Rudra's arm with the Golden brand.
It stung ..... It was almost like Rudra's entire body was burning not just his arm ..... The pain was almost unbearable ..... Just when he felt that he would pass out under the pain , Patricia held his head with her two palms and started speaking something in a tongue he did not understand again ... But the pain started to ease .... 2 minutes later it was all over.
System notification : Congratulations player , you have been branded with the mark of the Von Knight family , you are now a Von Knight, having the same influence as a duke in the Hazelgroove kingdom .
As Rudra was staring blankly at the system notification Patricia stood there grinning , she said ” Welcome to the family , little brother”.
What was going on here??? Why was he being branded , why does he have the same influence as a duke? Why am i part of a family? Just what the hell is going on?
As if reading his thoughts Patricia said ” The Knight Augustus Won had no biological children , as you know he was a human, not hailing from the beasttribe ”.
Rudra felt silly now , ofcourse he knew he was human , yes then why is Patricia a catwoman .why did he not think about it before .
” He adopted two children who he thought were supremely talented in the way of the knights and made them his hier , The then legendary mage and Augustus Won Knight's friend the mage Cassanova made this brand and this spell for his friend. Whoever is branded with this brand using this spell would become a part of the Von Knight family gaining the Eyes Of Truth and the Earthquake skill , special to our lineage”.
Rudra nodded as he inspected the two new skills he earned , surprisingly he also earned a title .
