Sir Gray

[Sir Gray]

The glint of light

that shines off this blade cannot be put into words. This is the weapon every Knight must have.

Yes...

Claymore!

Every Knight

would want one!

Claymore, one of the best among the famous swords you can attain in Rune-Midgarts' Prontera!! Its value is priceless when considered by a Knight.

Now, the Prontera Chivalry is making these fabulous Claymores. For Knights, they are only 74,000 Zeny.

But not only that, you need

1 Steel because of the Claymore's characteristics. If you like, I can create one for you. For the honor of the Prontera Chivalry!

Oh no...

It seems that you are carrying too many things. You don't have enough space for a heavy Claymore in your inventory.

Why don't you

go and organize

your items first.

You are ready!

You must know the

true value of

a Claymore!

I shall make

it right now!!

The basics of

making the Claymore

is easy. Watch~!

*Stir Stir*

*Ooncha Ooncha*

Okay, it's ready!

Every Knight's pride:

a fine Claymore.

You attained a reliable item.

It'll be a good companion on your adventures.

I realize you may really want a Claymore, but I can't make it without the materials.

74,000 zeny and 1 Steel!.

Come back when

you have everything

ready. I shall be

waiting...

Any Knight should be able to wield a Claymore as if it were an extension of their body. I used to look forward to brandishing my Claymore in battle...

Believe it

or not, I was

once a Novice

as well.

I never really planned to become a Knight, but I did decide to become a strong person. Somehow, along my journeys, I ended up joining the Prontera Chivalry. Ha ha ha!

Young one,

use your time

wisely.

No point in

harboring regret

once time has passed.

Oh...

A young Swordman.

Yes, what can

I do for you?

Hoho, I see.

So you took

everyone else's

test?

Then shall

we begin mine?

It's not really

a test though.

Let's talk

casually,

shall we?

First...

Why did you

decide to become

a Knight?

Take care!

Ah, you again.

What brings you

to me?

Is that so...

I wonder if you

truly have...

Then...

Like last time,

I will ask again...

Health is

every man's

treasure!

To become stronger, you say?

Yes, Knights are indeed strong.

But why gain strength?

Is it to show off to others? To attain fame? Or do you have a diferent reason? What do you think is so good about gaining strength as a Knight?

Of course, wealth and fame have their place in the world. But we as Knights must live for higher virtues.

Good thinking. You must first be able to protect yourself in order to protect others. To this end, you must constantly train, and never give in to laziness.

Ah, a wonderful idea. A Knight's strength must be used to protect the weak and defend righteousness.

Sadly, there are a few Knights who shame us by forgetting the ideals that should be basic to Knighthood...

Ah, to help your guild, or maybe even your party. Our wise and benevolent King Tristram the 3rd gave us these golden words...

Beyond the calm river, lies a dangerous waterfall. Therefore, you must always be prepared for everything...

So how do you

think you can

help your guild?

Anyone, anywhere in this world,

has a place where they are needed. Never neglect someone in need, even if he is not a guild member.

Of course wealth is important.

But we Knights must live for higher virtues.

Satisfaction, you say.

It seems like you are

already a fine Swordman.

Is there a particular reason you wish to be a Knight?

I don't know about

Swordmen, but Knights do not allow self-indulgence. There are those so obsessed with gaining strength that they cannot control themselves.

So...

What part of yourself

are you not satisfied

with right now?

Skill is something you gain with experience as a Knight. It cannot be your highest goal. Otherwise, you'll never be satisfied as a Knight.

I see...

Always having a goal is very important. You may be full of ideas upon becoming a Knight, but that may change with time.

What you see isn't what really counts. A Swordman may be stronger than a Knight, and even Knight may grow weak if he becomes lazy.

I understand your thoughts,

but there are those who wish to

become Knights without thinking.

Those are the ones who instigate problems and shame the honor of Knights, bringing irreversible results.

The same goes for you as well. Once you become a Knight, you can never become a Swordman again. The duties and responsibilities of a Knight will always be with you.

If you become a Knight right away, what are you going to do first?

Battle...?

And then?

Don't be in too much of a hurry to become strong. Even if you become

a Knight, you are still yourself.

Testing yourself is a good thing. It's okay to be happy about how you change, but don't forget about the true qualities of being a Knight.

Even if you become a Knight, you are not changing your inner self. No need to overwork yourself.

Relax and take things step by step.

Who is

waiting for you?

I see, they would share in the joy of your achievements. Don't ever lose your kind heart, and always give help to your friends.

Those who would share in your happiness and hardship. As a Knight, you must always protect them.

Oh, youth!

Becoming a Knight

for your beloved!

Always protect

Even at the sacrifice

of your own life!

Also...

Love them forever.

Sincere affection

is hard to find.

Good attitude...

What do you plan

on learning?

There are many places that are comfortable or uncomfortable in this world. However Knights must

be able to survive anywhere.

There are many similar Knights outside in the world. Think of them as your seniors and ask many questions.

Oh no. Do you hold wealth as a priority of being a Knight? We're not meant to be that way. Come again when you have thought

more about it...

Oh no, we've been

talking too much...

I apologize for

keeping you here

for so long.

I enjoyed talking with you. You remind me of myself as a young recruit. Shall we talk to the captain and decide on your

job change?

Don't worry too

much, I have a very

high opinion of you.

Now, go~

I enjoyed speaking with you. You can think about the principles of Knighthood more once you become a Knight.

Then, shall we go to the captain and decide on your job change? Don't worry too much. You are good enough to be a Knight!

I enjoyed talking with you. Although, there were some

things that bothered me...

You should go

to the captain

so we can decide

on your job change.

Don't worry too much, coming to take my test means the others have acknowledged you as well.

Go now...!

Conversing

with young ones

is always enjoyable...

But it seems as though your dream is elsewhere, or that your focus is hazy. Spend more time as a Swordman, and come back

to me later.

If you truly wish to become a Knight, you must change your outlook first. Then, we shall see.

I told you

to go to

the captain.

Everyone will

carefully make

their decision,

so go now!

What can I do for you?

Hoho~

There are many

other younger

Knights in here.

If you talk

to all of them,

I may review

you as well.
