Chapter 202: Deceased Paladin Armor
Digby felt sour after speaking about Zahn.
After he respawned from his death, Zahn quit the game completely because he believed that he'd failed his trust.
Thus, Digby lost one of his best friends, and whenever he thought about it, his anger towards Victor would consume him.
"Anyway, I am glad you're back." Digby said. "I guess your next step is to go to the promotion test?"
"That's right." Adam nodded.
"It'll be in two weeks." Digby said. "What test do you want to do? You'll skip Beyonder and go straight for Holyman?"
"I was thinking of doing the Grandeur test." Adam dropped a bomb.
"Grandeur?!" Lucette exclaimed and put her hand on his shoulder. "Are you sure?"
"Average Grandeur mercenary would become one as level 16." Digby said. "It's unheard of that someone became one as level 12."
"I am confident." Adam said. "I would go for Archwarrior, but I feel like that's pushing it. I don't think I am ready for that yet."
'This level of growth is unprecedented.' Digby thought. 'If he can really become Grandeur in a year's time, his level of talent would rival that of King Moriarty's.'
"Very well, I'll be sending the letter." Digby said. "Lucette, go show him his room."
Lucette nodded with a smile, and as they headed to the door, they heard Digby say:
"For the foreseeable future, we are forbidden from going beyond the wall," he said.
Adam nodded and then followed after Lucette, leaving the second floor and heading up one floor-the third floor was where all the living quarters were.
They had been saving a room just for Adam-it was at the end of the floor, by the corner room that was slightly bigger than an ordinary room and had a good view outside.
It was already furnished, as they remembered that Adam wasn't that fond of furnishing himself as he didn't make any changes to his previous room back in the Dawnwatch.
He dropped his backpack on his bed and let out a sigh of relief.
"What're you sighing about?" Lucette asked with a smile as she fixed up some books on the shelf so they wouldn't fall.
She was solely responsible with furnishing his room, and she wanted it to be perfect before he returned.
"It feels strange to be back, that's all," he said and sat down on the bed.
"We were missing you." Lucette said and smiled. "Glad to see you back in one place."
for.
While he liked Gladius Sword and Heater Shield, they were still second-rate weapons compared to what he hoped to find at Dr. Locksmith's.
Luckily for him, he didn't need to purchase another armor as he found one he liked very much
from one of his treasure escapades-a full set of Deceased Paladin Armor.
It belonged to a Paladin of Holy Order that used to roam these lands a long time ago.
Now, old and forgotten, but the armor was in perfect condition.

It was made out of polished silver steel-the helmet was a full helm, protecting the whole head with a slit for the eyes and an ornate design of a griffon wrapping around the sides.
The chestplate was broad and muscular. As if it were designed to mimic the idealized form of the human torso. It also had holy symbols, such as crosses, sunbursts, and the old emblem of
the Holy Order.
The pauldrons looked large and rounded, providing ample protection for the shoulders. It was also very spiky, giving the appearance more of a dramatic and tough appearance.
The gauntlets that were usually wrapped around the sword hilts were sturdy and articulated, allowing more flexibility. The fingers of the gauntlet were pointed and reinforced, also spiky around the knuckles for added protection and to look more tough.
The armor used to have a cape, but Adam removed it as he didn't want to wear any other cape than the crimson cape as it was a trademark of their guild.
"I suppose I'll go visit that store." Adam said and stood up. "It was nice to meet y'all." "Be careful out there." Knoxx offered a word of advice. "These people don't like scarless like
us. I even thought about giving myself a scar so they would stop pestering me, but I have a hunch they will know if its self-inflicted."
"I'll be fine." Adam said with a smile and waved his hand as he walked away. "See you later."
