x was kneeling in front sitting woman. She looked like a noble woman, she was wearing a long black dress. The type one would usually wear to parties or formal occasion. It had been a few hours after the assassinations. Davra had invited to her mansion to speak.
"You did well" said Davra
"Thank you Miss" Alex lowered his head further.
"With this we've weakened the Arcane Brootherhood and taken control of the southern sea's," said Davra.
Alex stayed quiet the whole time only nodding occasionally.
"Now then as for rewards. What do you want?" Davra asked with a raised brow.
Alex thought for a while before answering: "I want all the knowledge you have in Alchemy, information on the Undead Vecna and a knighthood."
Davra was surprised by those requests. "Are you?"
Alex looked up and nodded.
"I can only give the beginners guide to alcamy, the rest of the knowledge has to be requested. So I can't give it to you until you have some alcamy knowledge. As for your second request it won't be a problem but as for your request for a knighthood it is unusual. Are you sure that's what you want?"
"Yes..." Alex replied.
"Okay, very well but why?" she asked.
He seemed to expecting that question. "I've been expecting that question. And I've been debating on how I should answer that question, and the only answer I could come up with is. That receiving a knighthood will make moving and traveling much easier."
"But aren't you already an adventurere. I thought they don't have any troubles when traveling?" she asked perplexed.
When he heard her question he shook his head, "That's not completely true. That only applies if you are a high level adventurer if not then you then you face the same problems as other people."
She listened without making sound. When Alex was finished speaking she let out a breath. "I see so that's why. Very well we shall wholed the ceremony tomorrow."
"Oh...by the way could I have clothes that help for my stealth instead of armour, Alex asked.
"That's not a problem but first I want to give you something."
She produced what looked like a white skull.
Alex looked at the skull trying to understand what it was. Although it looked like a plain skull, he thought it was unlikely that Davra would gift him with a normal skull.
"What is it?"
Alex asked looking at the skull.
"This is called the Skull Mask. I got it off the body of a enemy I defeated before. I never had any use for it so I decided to keep it until I found someone who would get more use out of it than me, Davra said.
"Hmm...so it's a mask but what does it do?" Alex asked.
"It has several abilities, it provides defense against fear, disease and paralysis. It provides immunity to life draining effects. Additionally the is able to blend into undead even intelegent undead will not be able to tell that you are one of the living."
