Chapter 49: By the Glimmering Lake

When Ryan heard that he could exchange for ferocious beast meat like violent bear meat, he was delighted at first, but after hearing the second half of Hamilton's words, he was stunned again, and immediately looked at the other party with a puzzled look.

Hamilton didn't keep the secret and said directly: "Although ferocious beast meat is rare, if the quantity you need is not too large, you can buy it in the county town with gold coins."

"Many monster hunters specialize in this business. And if you don't mind spending a little more gold coins, you can always buy fresh, high-quality ferocious beast meat at the auction house in the county town."

"So, regarding merit points, my advice to you is to spend them on more valuable things."

"For example, secret medicine to improve your strength, or choose to accumulate merit points to exchange for advanced potions that are necessary for subsequent promotion to formal knights."

"If you want to buy advanced potions of excellent quality from the auction house, not only are the prices too high, but the most important problem is that they are hard to come by."

"This, your teacher should have told you about it. Different knight breathing methods require the use of specific advanced potions in conjunction with the use of specific advanced potions in order to be successfully promoted. The better the quality of the same potion, the better the effect of the promotion will naturally be."

Hamilton said a lot, but Ryan listened very carefully and hardly missed a word.

Before Claire left, she had never told him about how to be promoted to a full-fledged knight.

Come to think of it.

"After all, I'm starting from scratch. In Claire's opinion, it's impossible for me to encounter a promotion level within a year."

Ryan keenly grasped several key points in Hamilton's words, such as 'buy beast meat with gold coins', 'advanced potions', and 'the better the quality, the better the effect'.

At the same time, Ryan once again recalled the scene when Claire talked about 'advanced potions' last time.

At that time, Claire mentioned 'advanced potions' to him once, and then avoided talking about it, just saying that he should lay a good foundation first.

"Maybe he's worried that I know too much, which is not good."

"After all, practicing combat skills requires single-mindedness to achieve the best results."

"But it will take some time before the merit points are finalized. I have plenty of time to consider the exchange."

So, Ryan nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Hamilton, for your reminder. I will seriously consider it."

"Okay! Then you should set off as soon as possible. Willen and the others should be waiting for you at the door."

"Okay, sir!"

Although Ryan was a little surprised that he was about to set off, he had a hunch before he came that Hamilton must have something to ask him, so it was not particularly abrupt.

When he walked to the door of the administrative office, Ryan found that the elite Night Watchmen who were traveling with him all had a nag.

Although they looked far less agile than the war horses in the manor stables, they were at least a horse, which was enough for transportation.

Willen, the captain of the Night Watch, had also prepared a nag for Ryan.

"Ryan, let's set off on horseback to Twilight Lake now. It will take about two hours to reach the destination. It will take a few more hours to complete the mission, and we can return to Shining Gold Town before dark." "

As for other things, we

will talk about it on the way." Willen briefly explained the arrangements.

Ryan nodded immediately.

No wonder Willen and his men prepared a horse.

The distance from Shining Gold Town to Twilight Lake is a little farther than to the county town. If you walk on two legs, it will probably take half a day.

In that case, you may not be able to complete the mission even after dark.

The forest at night is a place that knights don't want to stay.

For the night watchmen, it is definitely the best choice to complete the mission as soon as possible and then return to Shining Gold Town to rest.

"Okay, Captain Willen, then let's set off now."

Before leaving, Ryan also sent a message to his family.

But the embarrassing thing is that Ryan has never learned horse riding, so after riding, he was very unstable. It took a long time to get used to it before he felt a little better.

"Haha, Ryan, after you join the Night's Watch, riding a horse is a necessary skill. You have to hurry up and learn it." Willen patted Ryan on the shoulder and laughed.

"In the south of Shimmering Gold Town, John Moyle at John's Horse Farm not only sells horses, but also teaches riding. The tuition fee seems to be two gold coins. Ryan, you can go and learn it when you have free time."

"After having a horse, many tasks that are far away will be much easier to carry out."

"John's Horse Farm?" Ryan thought thoughtfully.

At the same time, he also remembered that when he first learned the Giant Bear Breathing Method, he triggered the requirement of mastering riding skills in the requirements of changing his job to 'Knight Squire'.

But what Ryan was not sure about was that he had already changed his job from a militiaman to a Night's Watchman, so could he still change his job to a Knight Squire?

But after a little thought, Ryan decided that he still had to find time to go to John's Horse Farm to learn riding skills.

After all, more skills are better than less!

Two hours later.

Ryan, carrying a two-handed sword, stood on a slope with a group of night watchmen, looking at the shimmering Shimmer Lake not far away.

The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, and the sun shone on the lake, shining a thin layer of golden light. Surrounded by dark green forests, such a beautiful picture made Ryan dazzled.

Ryan muttered to himself: "This should be called Golden Light Lake, why is it called Shimmer Lake?"

"Isn't it beautiful?" Willen, who was standing aside, looked at Ryan's fascinated look and couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"More than beautiful!" Ryan said firmly.

"Then you shouldn't have been to Shimmer Lake on a summer night, right? As for why it is called Shimmer Lake, it is because on a summer night, there will be a large number of flying glowworms on the lake, and Shimmer Lake is the most beautiful at that time!" Willen explained.

"Summer night? Then I must come and see it next time." Ryan couldn't help but have a little yearning.

"Hey! Is that a fishman?" Ryan, who was enjoying the beautiful scenery, keenly caught something and immediately stretched out his hand, pointing to the farthest end of the Twilight Lake.

Willen and other elite night watchmen immediately looked in the direction Ryan pointed.

In the gradually dissipating mist, several monsters with fish heads and human bodies about 1.5 meters tall were seen wandering around the lakeshore in the distance, as if they were surprised to find a new place to live, or just looking for food.

"It's really a fishman"

"Didn't we say we have to go upstream along the Twilight Lake for a while?"

"This group of fishmen spread to the Twilight Lake area so quickly?"

"Fortunately, we came in time this time!"

Seeing the scene in front of them, the night watchmen of Willen's team couldn't help but discuss it.

Although the requirement of this mission is to drive away or eliminate this group of fishmen.

But Ryan knew that the first choice was of course to eliminate them, so that Hamilton wouldn't have to come again after he recovered from his injury.

"Captain Willen, how do we eliminate these murlocs?"

Although Ryan ranked first in terms of combat power, the Night Watchmen were experienced in other aspects, especially Captain Willen, who was definitely not comparable to the fledgling Ryan.

So Ryan did not intend to make any suggestions on tactical arrangements.

Obviously, Willen had a plan for this, and said with a smile: "We can just shoot these guys with bows and arrows. After we find the murloc camp, I plan to let Matteo lure the murlocs."

Ryan turned his head and saw the Night Watchman named Matteo. He was only a little taller than Ryan, shorter than most of the Night Watchmen, and looked thin, but he was very energetic, and his eyes were full of cleverness.
