Chapter 85 Onboarding and Testing

"The hyena gang in the county was wiped out. 'Dog King' Cole and a group of key members of the hyena gang were found dead three days ago in their lair, the Fighting Dog Manor." Willen slowly recounted.

Willen had not never considered whether this matter might have been done by the young man in front of him, who was only a few years older than his daughter.

But after thinking about it, probably not.

Although the body of 'Dog King' Cole has been burned to ashes and cannot be identified.

But judging from the other members of the Hyena Gang who died, they basically died of poison.

This technique should be done by a well-trained assassin.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the Hyena Gang was accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, and unintentionally offended a certain noble, and was completely eliminated by the killer hired by the other party.

"Oh? Captain William, do you know who did it?" Although Ren knew it well, he still pretended to be surprised and asked.

"It's unclear, but according to colleagues in the county and based on the on-site investigation, it should be a professional killer. Many hyena gang members and dogs in the manor that have not been burned died in the drama. Under poison." Willen shook his head and explained.

Hearing this, Renn felt relieved.

"Originally, I just wanted to increase the killing efficiency by smearing the poison. I didn't expect that it would actually have the effect of misleading the investigation."

"If necessary next time, you can continue to use it."

After chatting for a while, Willen remembered the purpose of his visit and said again:
  "By the way, Ren, if you have nothing else to do now, come with me to the town administration hall. Lord Hamilton is waiting for you in the office."

"Okay, let's go now." Renn nodded immediately.

Because he happened to have a question and wanted to consult Hamilton.

When Renne arrived at Hamilton's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Renne found that Sheriff Hamilton, an official knight, had a tired expression at the moment, rubbing his eyebrows with one hand while flipping through the case file.

Hamilton saw Renn coming in, nodded and said: "Renn, sit down."

"Something hasn't been right lately."

"There are too many various security incidents happening, and there are also some mysterious incidents involving cults, monsters, etc. Even the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Churches in the county are busy non-stop."

Hamilton complained casually.

"By the way, Ren, I called you here this time because your night watch procedures have been completed." Hamilton smiled, and at the same time, he placed a round silver emblem that was two circles larger than a gold coin. , handed it to Ren.

Ren took it and looked at it carefully.

On the front, there is a pattern of an upper body holding a torch in one hand, a sword in the other, and a bow on the back. On the back, there is something similar to the bounty hunter emblem, which also says Ren Callan and a long series of numbers.

In terms of material, Renn also quickly judged that it was mainly pure silver, with a small amount of other metals mixed in to prevent the emblem from being too soft.

"This is the emblem that represents the elite of the Night's Watch."

"Generally, it takes about two years for ordinary night watchmen to be promoted to the elite level before they can accumulate enough merit points to be promoted to the elite level." Hamilton said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Hamilton." Renn looked happy and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"You don't need to thank me. It's just a little effort on my part. It's Ren who has worked so hard for himself. This is the reward he deserves."

"By the way, this is the exchange book. It contains all the items you can exchange for currently. You can take a look first." Hamilton handed a booklet to Renne.

"In addition, your merit points should be more than 119. I have to check the details. For Renn Gnoll and Murloc, you currently have a total of merit points."

Hamilton quoted a number.

"Thank you, sir." Ren couldn't tell for a while how much this amount of merit points could be exchanged for, but it was only over a hundred, so he couldn't exchange it for anything useful even if he thought about it.

Wren opened the pamphlet Hamilton handed him.

I saw a few big words written on the cover of the booklet: 'Empire Security and Guard Force Merit Point Exchange Book (Non-Commissioned Officer)'.

"Hey! Isn't he a night watchman alone?" Renn looked up at Hamilton in slight surprise.

"Haha, of course not. Night watchmen, security guards, including city guards, all fall under the category of imperial security and guard forces, so merit points are universal." Hamilton explained with a smile.

"I see." Ren suddenly realized, but this was reasonable, so he opened the booklet and started reading. "Elite level, content that can be redeemed. There are potions and weapons."

Ren soon discovered that his 119 points of merit were more or less.

Basically, his merit points are enough to exchange for 4 stainless steel swords.

"Hey! There are actually Dragon Empire military swordsmanship and matching military breathing techniques that can be redeemed?"

"Is this merit point worth 1200 points?"

This made Renn a little stunned!

You must know that you now have a total of 119 points, which is not even one-tenth.

I really don’t know if any of the elite members of the Night Watch have successfully redeemed this Dragon Empire military sword technique and the matching military breathing technique!

However, the Dragon Empire Military Swordsmanship and the Military Breathing Technique can be redeemed separately, with 400 and 800 merit points respectively.

At the same time, the military breathing method is also the only breathing method in the redemption booklet.

In other words, the imperial military swordsmanship he obtained from that middle-aged man was actually worth 400 merit points.

Sure enough, for things like 'counter-killing', money comes in the fastest!

It's a pity that he didn't see the black tung oil or some redemption content related to the giant bear breathing method.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m not at the elite level of the Night Watchman yet, or for some other reason.

However, according to Claire, the Giant Bear Breathing Technique is widely spread and has been spread and studied by many noble families. Logically speaking, the imperial military will naturally have more research on it.

In this way, there is a high probability that it is because his level is too low.

"By the way, sir, does the Night Watch have a special training ground?" Ren asked.

For him, improving his strength is always the most important thing.

The woodland near his current home is definitely not suitable for him to visit in a short time.

As for Anna's family, it's okay to make do with it once or twice, but it's not a long-term solution.

"Haha, of course there is, right behind the town administration hall." As if he thought of something, Hamilton wiped away his tired look and stood up with a big smile.

"Come on, I'll take you to see it. By the way, I'll introduce you to other people."

"At this time, except for those who were on night duty yesterday, most of them should be at the training ground."

After walking out of the office, he turned right twice and followed Hamilton to a training ground. The venue was not big, only a few hundred square meters, but it was basically equipped with various dummies, archery targets, and long swords.

At this moment, there were many people training on their own here. Ren glanced at them and saw that the most people practicing archery accounted for 60%.

"grown ups!"

"Lord Hamilton!"

"Lord Sheriff!"

Seeing Hamilton's arrival, the night watchmen, security guards, etc. in training all stopped what they were doing and said hello.

"This is Renn, a new member who just joined our night watch today. You can get familiar with it." Hamilton introduced.

"By the way, Renn, in order to let everyone know your strength, come on, use all your strength and punch here." Hamilton turned his head, smiled and extended his palm to Renn.

In fact, for Rennes, Hamilton has always wanted to test the opponent's strength and qualifications.

Renn had actually had this idea since the last time he was able to stop the injured ferocious jackal.

But firstly, he was troubled by his own injury at the time, and secondly, Rennes had not officially joined the night watchman, so Hamilton did not speak.

But this time Renne became the official night watchman and was already his direct subordinate. Hamilton naturally thought of testing the young man he was optimistic about.
