Chapter 48 Stainless steel sword and merit points

"So, I hope you can go with a team of night watchmen today to clean up these dirty monsters full of fish smell. Or you can drive them back upstream. I will wait until next week after I recover from my injuries, and I will go there again in person. Lead the team to destroy them all!"

Hamilton said solemnly.

Shimmering Lake is the water supply for the entire Goldsmith Town. Once it is polluted by fishmen, as the sheriff, he will have an unshirkable responsibility.

When Ren heard this, he thought quickly.

It's not that he can't go on the mission of annihilating the fishmen, especially since his Night Watch professional level will be upgraded soon. It would be great if he could have a chance to have a real battle.

However, he currently doesn't know much about the situation and strength of this group of fishmen, so it's better to ask first.

"Sir Hamilton, what about the strength of this group of fishmen?"

"Don't worry, the investigators' report shows that there is only a small fishman tribe near Shimmer Lake this time, and the number is not large."

Hamilton crossed his index fingers on his chin and continued:

"The combat effectiveness of most fishmen is generally not as good as that of the militia. It's just that their number is a bit large and their reproduction speed is a bit fast. Just like weeds, they grow crazily every year, so they can't be eradicated no matter how hard they are eradicated."

"In addition, when they encounter an enemy they cannot defeat, they will quickly dive into the water and hide. Therefore, Ren, if I were you, I would find a way to lure the fishmen out, stay away from the waterfront, and then strike hard."

The injured Hamilton recounted his experience fighting the fish-men in detail.

"Okay! Sir Hamilton, but I don't have any weapons at the moment. Can you lend me a two-handed sword?" Renn thought for a while, then nodded and agreed.

Now that Hamilton has made it clear, the number of fishmen this time is not large, and their strength is not strong. In addition, he is not fighting alone, but is going with the Night Watch team.

It is very difficult to find such a suitable candidate for actual combat, so I have no reason not to agree!

Taking this opportunity, not only can I gain some valuable practical experience, but I can also improve my Night Watch professional level.

In addition, if the fishmen are allowed to multiply, it will directly affect the water security of Goldsmith Town. Defeating the fishmen by yourself can also be regarded as protecting the safety of yourself and your family.

"Hahaha, two-handed sword? Of course, come with me." Hamilton burst out laughing and glanced at Renn with amusement.

This made Renn confused for a while.

When Renn followed Hamilton to a small cubicle behind his office, he couldn't help but be extremely envious when he saw a sword rack full of various short swords, knight's swords, half-hand swords and two-handed swords.

However, there is only one two-handed sword here.

At this time, Hamilton had helped him take off the two-handed sword from the sword stand.

"Thank you!" Renne took it and glanced at Hamilton thoughtfully.

It turns out that the Sheriff just seemed to have guessed that what he was learning was the giant bear swordsmanship. No wonder he looked at him with that strange expression just now.

Most likely, he saw it when he killed the ferocious jackal last time.

After all, the characteristics of giant bear swordsmanship are relatively obvious.

Renn weighed the two-handed sword that Hamilton handed him and found that the sword weighed about forty pounds, which was just right for him to use.

The length of the sword is about 1.4 meters, with a sunken blood groove in the middle, a cross guard, and a small weighted ball at the end of the hilt. On the small ball is the emblem of the Night Watch, which is a man holding a long sword and a torch, and also carrying a bow. humanoid pattern.

Judging from the white forging patterns on the blade, this is a rare two-handed stainless steel sword. You know, a high-quality stainless steel knight's long sword costs more than a dozen imperial gold coins, and a two-handed sword is naturally more expensive!

What I’m talking about here are the excellent quality, those knight long swords that can be used for high-intensity battles, not the ordinary iron swords that militiamen can have.

The price of that kind of iron sword is more than ten times cheaper. You can buy one for a few silver coins, and it can be made by basically every blacksmith shop in a small town.

However, the craftsmanship required to make a good high-quality two-handed sword is not only higher than that of a long sword of the same level, but the quality of the steel selected for the sword body is also very critical. It requires high-quality steel and a senior blacksmith to confidently build one. A fine two-handed sword.

"It's been a long time since anyone in the Night Watch used a two-handed sword like you. This two-handed sword is still in my personal collection, Renn, do you like it?"

"Of course I do!"

In fact, what Ren was thinking was, "More than just liking it, a good weapon is half a soldier's life. It can be said that you can't put it down!"

"Ren, if you can clean up the murlocs for me this time, then I will give you this stainless steel sword. At the same time, it can also be regarded as your reward for helping me kill the ferocious jackal last time. .”

Hamilton said boldly.

"This" Ren wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't let go of this big sword.

The sword was made of fine materials, with superb forging techniques, and its weight was very suitable for Renne's current level of strength. He really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Thank you for your gift, sir!"

When the two of them returned to the office and sat down again, Hamilton suddenly remembered something, took out several documents from the office and handed them to Ren, saying:

"This is an official document for you to join the Night's Watch. You need to sign it."

"The other is the record of the last time you participated in the killing of the ferocious jackal. It also needs to be signed by you before it is submitted for archiving. This will be used as the basis for evaluating your merit points, and it is also your qualification for future promotions. "

After Ren took it, he looked at it carefully.

There is nothing wrong with the first document. It is a standard document and you can just sign it yourself.

The second document described the details of how Ren participated in killing the ferocious jackal and the role he played in it. It was very detailed.

In addition, the document already has the signatures of Hamilton and the other two captains of the night watchman. This should be to avoid forgery of deeds and facilitate verification by higher authorities.

So Renne readily signed it.

Hamilton smiled and nodded, saying: "Very good, Renn. Once your documents are officially approved, you will be a member of the Empire's Night Watch."

"It would be my pleasure, Lord Hamilton."

"By the way, Lord Hamilton, besides being used for promotion, does this meritorious service have any other uses? Can it be used to exchange for some things for training, such as ferocious beast meat?"

"Haha, of course you can. There are a lot of things that you can exchange your merit points for."

"After your merit points are counted, you can take a good look."

"However, Renn, do you plan to use the merit points after this review to exchange for animal meat? I don't recommend this." Upon hearing this, Hamilton shook his head first, and then smiled mysteriously.
