Chapter 17 I'm still a child
In an instant, Ryan's basic swordsmanship level 3 was upgraded to level 4.
And in his mind, hundreds of training scenes flashed through his mind like slides.
Suddenly, Ryan burst out with a fierce spirit, waving the wooden stick he had just picked up, and stabbed the opponent's face with a step!
"Since I can't escape, I'll fight for a chance of survival!"
Ryan's super-fast attack made Hamilton feel a little surprised, and at the same time, his appreciation for Ryan rose to a higher level.
This kind of mentality, speed and swordsmanship, placed on a civilian boy, is really a rare talent!
"Snap!"
However, in response to Ryan's sudden full-strength attack, Hamilton only stretched out his right hand, and then, with a very ordinary grip, he firmly fixed the high-speed wooden stick in front of him. No matter
how hard Ryan tried, he couldn't shake the wooden stick at all, which made Ryan's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.
"It's over! The gap in strength is too big!"
Hamilton then continued slowly:
"Don't be nervous, young man, I will help you deal with that drunkard Jack. I will let him stay in the detention room for a while, and I won't let him have the chance to trouble you again in the future."
"Ah! Detention room?! You... You are the new sheriff?" Ryan was stunned, but he reacted instantly and blurted out.
Immediately, Ryan looked at the other party carefully.
He saw that the other party was tall and burly, with an imposing aura, wearing a decent male noble hunting suit, with a long sword on his waist. He did not look like a robber or bounty hunter, but more like a noble.
This made him feel a little relieved.
"Smart young man, I am the new sheriff of Shining Gold Town, Hamilton."
Looking at the shock on Ryan's face, Hamilton couldn't help but smile on his serious face.
It's not that he wanted to scare Ryan, but Ryan's previous series of reactions were so fast that they were a bit beyond his expectations, leaving him no chance to speak.
"My Lord, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were..." Ryan obviously heard the good intentions in the other party's words.
"Hehe, there's nothing wrong with what you did to Drunk Jack. After all, he attacked you first, and you just fought back in self-defense."
"But..."
"Just now you waved your weapon at an Imperial Lord and the Sheriff of Shimmering Gold. How do you think I should punish you?" Hamilton said with a hint of joking.
"Ah! This..." Ryan was dumbfounded. How could the Sheriff in front of him change his face so quickly?
"However, considering your young age, I can forgive you once, but you need to do something for me." Hamilton didn't seem to want to provoke Ryan anymore, and immediately changed the subject.
"What is it? I don't do anything illegal!" Ryan immediately glanced at Hamilton vigilantly. It turned out that the other party was waiting for him here.
Hamilton was speechless!
Illegal things?
As the sheriff of a small town in the empire, would he let a child like you do something illegal?
However, he thought about it and decided to reveal some information to Ryan, saying:
"I can't tell you the specific content now, but you should know that there have been cases of missing children from time to time recently. I am focusing on this matter."
After hearing this, Ryan was relieved!
So it was this matter!
For him, even in his previous life, he hated people like human traffickers.
Now, Sheriff Hamilton has caught his tail. If he just wants him to work together to crack down on missing children cases, it is not impossible for him to agree.
In fact, he has to agree even if he doesn't want to. The situation is stronger than people!
But are the sheriffs now so responsible?
This suddenly made Ryan a little less disgusted with the guy in front of him!
No!
I'm still a child!
In terms of strength, he is not much stronger than ordinary militiamen. How can I help him?
Ryan immediately reacted. It seems that something is wrong here!
Reject directly?
No!
He has a handle in his hand.
Forget it, just pretend to be polite and agree to it first.
Strength!
It seems that I still need to improve my strength!
"Okay! But, sir, my ability is limited now. I am still a child and can't help much." Ryan spread his hands and said with an expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
This made Hamilton laugh!
He thought to himself: "Still a child? With your character, swordsmanship and speed, I am afraid that most militiamen are not your opponents!"
"Don't worry, it won't be beyond your ability." Hamilton smiled and shook his head.
"Then respected sheriff, can I go home?"
"Of course!"
As soon as Hamilton finished speaking, Ryan ran away like a frightened rabbit without looking back!
This made Hamilton shake his head helplessly again, a smart brat!
"But, for this case, we really need someone like Ryan. Maybe he can be effective!"
Ryan ran to the door of his house in one breath, then slowed down his pace, his chest rising and falling.
"Hu~Hu~"
At this moment, he was excited and scared, and at the same time, he felt a little pity and regret!
"Originally, everything about the evening was under control!
But, by sheer coincidence, I ran into the new sheriff Hamilton.
He's too strong!
Ryan thought that Humbert, the swordsmanship instructor of the servants, should not be his opponent. It seems that only the instructor of the noble boys, Mr. Perez, can fight with him!
Fortunately, the opponent doesn't seem to be a particularly strict person.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble this time!
Also, how does the other party want me to help?
However, thinking about the fact that I have added some agility and militia swordsmanship, I am still no match for Hamilton. I can't even force out the opponent's true strength. It's really discouraging.
The gap in strength is too big!
I still have to think of a way to quickly improve my strength!"
However, the events experienced today were almost actual combat, which also made Ryan gain a lot.
Ryan focused his attention on the system, and the prompts were as follows:
[You have experienced a battle, militia professional experience +23]
[Your basic swordsmanship skills have been improved, experience +11]
[You have experienced a battle, militia professional experience +8]
The only thing that made Ryan feel a little bit regretful was that he didn't have time to take the waist bag of drunkard Jack!
Otherwise, the money in it should be enough to buy some delicious food to reward himself and his family.
Ryan, who was a little depressed, returned home soon.
"Brother! You are back!" Mint came up and gave Ryan a big hug.
After a while, the family of four sat at the simple dining table and started dinner.
Warm oil lamps.
Cozy atmosphere.
The frustration in Ryan's heart was dispelled in an instant!
Money!
I will definitely find a way to earn it.
