Chapter 85 Onboarding and Testing
"The Hyena Gang in the county city was destroyed. 'Dog King' Cole and a group of Hyena Gang backbones were found dead in their old nest - the Fighting Dog Manor three days ago." Willen narrated slowly.
Willen had considered whether this incident might have been done by the teenager in front of him, who was only a few years older than his daughter.
But after thinking about it, it shouldn't be.
Although the body of 'Dog King' Cole had been burned to ashes and could not be recognized.
But from the perspective of the other dead Hyena Gang members, they basically died of poison.
This method should be the work of a well-trained assassin.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Hyena Gang was used to being arrogant and domineering, and accidentally offended a nobleman, and was completely wiped out by the killer hired by the other party.
"Oh? Captain William, do you know who did it?" Although Ryan knew it well, he still pretended to be surprised and asked.
"I don't know, but according to my colleagues in the county, judging from the on-site investigation, it should be done by professional killers. Many of the hyena gang members and dogs in the manor that have not been burned died from the poison." Willen shook his head and explained.
Hearing this, Ryan was relieved.
"I originally applied the poison just to improve the efficiency of killing, but I didn't expect that it would have the effect of misleading the investigation."
"Next time, if necessary, I can continue to use it."
After chatting for a few words, Willen remembered the purpose of his visit and said again:
"By the way, Ryan, if you don't have anything important now, come with me to the town administration office. Lord Hamilton is waiting for you in the office."
"Okay, let's go now." Ryan nodded immediately.
Because he also had questions to consult Hamilton.
When Ryan arrived at Hamilton's office. As soon as he
entered the door, Ryan found that Sheriff Hamilton, as a formal knight, had a tired expression at this moment. He was rubbing his eyebrows with one hand while flipping through the case files.
Hamilton saw Ryan come in and nodded, "Ryan, sit down."
"Something is not right recently."
"There are too many public security incidents, and there are also some mysterious incidents involving cults, monsters, etc. Even the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church in the county city are busy non-stop."
Hamilton complained a few words.
"By the way, Ryan, I called you here this time because your night watchman procedures have been completed." Hamilton smiled and handed Ryan a round silver badge that was two circles larger than a gold coin.
Ryan took it and looked at it carefully.
On the front, there was a pattern of an upper body holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, with a bow on his back, while on the back was a bounty hunter badge, also with Ryan Kalan and a long string of numbers.
In terms of material, Ryan also quickly determined that it was mainly pure silver, mixed with a small amount of other metals, in order to prevent the badge from being too soft.
"This is the emblem of the elite Night's Watch."
"It takes about two years for an ordinary Night's Watchman to be promoted to the elite level, and then he can accumulate enough merit points to be promoted to the elite level." Hamilton said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Hamilton." Ryan's face lit up, and he bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"Don't thank me, it's just a small effort on my part, but you worked hard, Ryan, and this is the reward you deserve."
"By the way, this is the exchange book, which contains all the items you can exchange for now. You can take a look first." Hamilton handed a booklet to Ryan.
"In addition, your merit points should be more than 100. I need to see the specifics. Ryan, the jackal and the fishman, you currently have a total of 119 merit points."
Hamilton reported a number.
"Thank you, sir." Ryan couldn't tell how many things this number of merit points could be exchanged for, but with only more than 100 points, he didn't think it could be exchanged for anything useful.
Ryan opened the booklet Hamilton handed him.
There were a few big words on the cover of the booklet: 'Empire Security and Guard Force Merit Points Exchange Book (Non-commissioned Officers)'.
"Hey! Isn't it for the night watchmen alone?" Ryan looked up at Hamilton with a little surprise.
"Haha, of course not. Night watchmen, security guards, and city guards are all under the category of the Empire Security and Guard Force, so the merit points are universal." Hamilton explained with a smile.
"I see." Ryan suddenly realized, but this made sense, so he opened the booklet and started reading it.
"At the elite level, the content that can be exchanged includes potions and weapons."
Ryan soon discovered that his 119 merit points were not too much, but not too little.
Basically, his merit points were enough to exchange for 4 fine steel swords.
"Hey! There are also Dragun Empire Military Swordsmanship and the matching military breathing method that can be exchanged?"
"So this merit point is 1200 points?"
This made Ryan a little surprised!
You know that I now have a total of 119 points, which is not even one-tenth of it. I
really don't know if any of the Night Watch elites have successfully exchanged for the Dragun Empire Military Swordsmanship and the matching military breathing method!
However, the Dragun Empire Military Swordsmanship and the Military Breathing Method can be exchanged separately, 400 and 800 merit points respectively.
At the same time, the military breathing method is also the only breathing method in the exchange booklet.
In other words, the Imperial Military Swordsmanship he obtained from the middle-aged man is actually worth 400 merit points.
Sure enough, things like "counter-killing" make money the fastest!
Unfortunately, he did not see any exchange content related to black tung oil or giant bear breathing.
I don't know if it's because my level of the Night's Watch is not high enough, or for some other reason.
However, according to Claire, the Giant Bear Breathing Method is widely spread, and many noble families have spread and studied it. Logically speaking, the imperial military is more researched.
So, most likely, it's because my level is too low.
"By the way, sir, does the Night's Watch have a special training ground?" Ryan asked.
For him, improving strength is always the most important thing.
Now the woodland near his home is definitely not suitable for him to go again in the short term. As for
Anna's house, it's okay to make do with it once or twice, but it's not a long-term solution.
"Haha, of course there is, it's behind the town administration hall." Hamilton seemed to have thought of something, and swept away his previous tired look and stood up with a big laugh.
"Come on, I'll take you to see it, and by the way, I'll introduce you to the others."
"At this time, except for the ones on duty yesterday, most of them should be at the training ground."
After leaving the office and turning right twice, Ryan followed Hamilton to a training ground. The ground was not big, only a few hundred square meters, but it was basically equipped with various dummies, targets and long swords.
At this moment, many people were training here on their own. Ryan took a glance and found that the most people were practicing archery, accounting for 60%.
"Sir!"
"Sir Hamilton!"
"Sir Sheriff!"
Seeing Hamilton coming, the night watchmen, security guards and others in training stopped what they were doing and greeted him.
"This is Ryan, a new member who just joined our night watch today. Everyone can get acquainted with him." Hamilton introduced.
"By the way, Ryan, in order to let everyone know your strength, come on, use all your strength and punch here." Hamilton turned around and smiled and stretched out his palm to Ryan.
In fact, Hamilton had always wanted to test Ryan's strength and qualifications.
He had had this idea since the last time Ryan was able to stop the injured and violent jackal.
But firstly, he was troubled by his own injuries at the time, and secondly, Ryan had not officially joined the Night Watch, so Hamilton did not speak up.
But this time Ryan became an official Night Watch and was already his direct subordinate, so Hamilton naturally thought of testing this young man he was optimistic about.
