Chapter 37 Triggering Job Change - [Night Watcher]
"Knock, knock, knock!"
In the astonished eyes of old Ryan after he opened the door.
Ryan walked into his home in the town of Shining Gold. Except for his sister Mint who had already fallen asleep, Ryan's mother and Anna were also awakened by the sound of the door opening and walked out of the room.
"Ryan, why are you back? Did something happen in the manor?" The cold wind when the door opened made old Ryan sober up a lot. Seeing his son's expression, he guessed what must have happened.
Ryan thought about it and decided to tell his parents directly. This matter would probably spread quickly.
In addition, if the violent jackal continued to hunt humans around Shining Gold, farmers like his father who worked on the farm in the suburbs would be one of the most dangerous groups.
"Father, a servant dormitory in the manor was attacked by jackals just now. Two people died on the spot and one was abducted."
"Ah?"
"Hiss!" Old Ryan couldn't help but take a breath.
He still knew about the gnolls. He had seen a gnoll from a distance once when he was young. These ferocious humanoid creatures usually live in the depths of the forest. How did they run out this time?
"But don't worry too much. Lord Lloyd Knight and Lord Perez of the manor have already dealt with it on the spot. The town of Shining Gold has also been notified. I believe this matter should be resolved soon."
In order to comfort his family, Ryan did not mention that the other party was a ferocious gnoll with a height of more than two meters and strength comparable to that of a formal knight.
Because if he told the truth, it would only increase his family's worries.
"Mother, don't go to the woods to pick up firewood or anything else tomorrow. If you are in the town, there should be no problem."
After thinking about it, Ryan turned around and said to his father.
"By the way, father, you'd better not go to the suburban farm tomorrow."
"Okay! I'll listen to you." Old Ryan nodded!
Since the last time Ryan told them that the new sheriff, Lord Hamilton, invited Ryan to join the Night Watch, Old Ryan thought that Ryan had grown up.
It was no longer a child who needed their care, but an adult who could shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Therefore, the persuasiveness of Ryan's words rose sharply!
Ryan nodded, and went up to the second floor with Anna.
Now that Ryan was back, Anna could only share a room with Mint, while Ryan still slept in his original room.
But not long after Ryan lay down, suddenly, there was another knock on the door.
When the alert old Ryan looked through the crack of the door and found that there were three night watchmen holding torches and wearing black leather jackets standing outside the door, he immediately opened the door.
Ryan also walked down from the second floor.
The leading, somewhat familiar night watchman said, "Ryan, we are short of manpower tonight. Just now, Sheriff Hamilton notified you to join the night patrol in this area."
"Okay! Wait for me for two minutes." Ryan agreed without thinking too much.
Because he was familiar with this night watchman, the other party's patrol area included the vicinity of his home.
If it was somewhere else, Ryan would consider it again.
But if he patrolled his own door, he would definitely agree for the safety of his family.
Ryan turned and went upstairs, intending to take a short sword from the storage room on the second floor.
"Are you going to get your equipment? Don't bother, I've prepared it for you." The night watchman behind him took out a full set of black leather armor, a bow, a quiver and a half-handled sword and handed them to Ryan.
This immediately made Ryan happy. He didn't expect the other party to be so thoughtful.
When Ryan put on the standard equipment of the night watchman, except for his slightly childish face and slightly shorter height, he was not much different from the night watchman in other aspects.
"Ryan, be careful." The mother warned with a worried look on her face.
Originally, she thought it was a good thing for Ryan to join the night watchman, but now that she saw that her child had to deal with the crisis personally once it happened, there was an unresolvable worry between her brows.
"Don't worry! Mother, I will take good care of myself."
After that, Ryan said goodbye to his parents and started the night patrol with three night watchmen.
"Ryan, I heard that the people who had an accident were the child servants who participated in the training of the manor?" asked the capable night watchman.
"Yes! I witnessed the violent jackal rushing out of the servant dormitory in a violent manner, knocking the guards away in an instant, and escaping." Ryan said with a serious face.
He still has lingering fears when he thinks of the opponent's strength and agility that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
If this level of strength is converted according to the quantitative standard given by the system, it would probably be 18 or 20 points!
It can be said that it greatly exceeds the limit that ordinary people can reach.
The other three saw Ryan's solemn expression, and they looked at each other immediately, their faces becoming more serious.
In their eyes, this young man who killed two gangsters last time and won the praise of Lord Hamilton, although young, has good strength and is meticulous.
Even he attaches so much importance to it, it seems that the strength of this jackal is really strong and should not be underestimated!
No wonder Lord Hamilton emphasized that all night watchmen, no matter who found the trace of the jackal, must send a signal as soon as possible.
As long as they are within the scope of the town of Shining Gold, other teams of night watchmen will arrive continuously within half a minute.
And Lord Hamilton will arrive immediately!
During the conversation, Ryan also quickly understood what the mission of the four of them was this time, which was to be responsible for the patrol and safety of the two streets here.
"Let's light up these street lamps first." said the capable captain of the night watchmen.
Generally, unless there are special circumstances, the street lamps (oil lamps) in the town are not all lit, but a few will be extinguished to save fuel.
Just now Ryan learned that the street lamps in the town used a mixture with whale oil as the main raw material as fuel.
The fuel consumption of a single street lamp is not high, but if there are dozens or even hundreds of them, the cost will be high.
Seeing that the night watchmen were lighting the lamps, Ryan took the initiative to help and said, "Let me try."
As a new night watchman who is about to join, it is obvious that it is always good to be diligent.
You can quickly get along with the old people.
Just as Ryan put a match into the lampshade and lit the oil lamp, suddenly, the system prompt sounded:
[Ding! Detected that the host is refueling the street lamp, triggering the job change - Night Watchman! 】
[Prerequisites for promotion to Night Watchman are: 1. Militia lv3 or above; 2. Strength 7 points or above, Agility 6 points or above, Constitution 6 points or above; 3. Any sword skill lv3 or above, any archery skill lv2 or above! . The current conditions are not met, promotion to Night Watchman failed! 】
Hey! It's actually a new combat profession!
