Chapter 114: Unconventional Move
Chapter 114: Unconventional Move
Connor and Hamilton exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Just then, a knock sounded at the office door, and without waiting for permission, the person outside pushed the door open and walked in.
This made the young master named Gordon frown, saying, "Sheriff, it seems you're not strict enough with the basic etiquette of your subordinates."
"If this happened in the city of Macado, you'd be the laughingstock of the nobility!"
But he noticed that Connor and Hamilton didn't pay him any attention; instead, they were looking at the newcomer with peculiar expressions, which made him curious and turn to look as well.
A young man wearing Knight Plate Armor entered, carrying what seemed to be a Greatsword on his back, and he removed his Plate Helmet, holding it with his left hand at his waist.
Thus, it was easy to discern from the newcomer's appearance that he wasn't very old.
The young man was Reyn! "Mr. Gordon, I'm the lucky one you're looking for," Reyn said.
Hamilton's expression darkened as he had been displeased with Reyn for 'rashly' agreeing to Gordon's request, and now, with Gordon's sarcastic remark, his expression grew even more unpleasant. He also felt slightly dissatisfied with Connor.

Even if Reyn was at a disadvantage, he wouldn't suffer any serious injuries.
He never would have guessed that someone would obtain an Advanced Potion and choose to consume it without even an hour's delay. What immense confidence! Normally, shouldn't one adjust their physical state and mindset to reach an optimal condition before consuming it? This young man was breaking all conventions! Gordon felt a wave of annoyance as he thought about how this rare Advanced Potion was being wasted by the youth before him.
Connor sighed helplessly, knowing it wasn't appropriate to say too much in front of Gordon.
Connor patted Hamilton's shoulder and said, "Let's go! Relax!"
The metamorphosis process usually lasted two to three days, so it was very easy to discern.
"Haha, congratulations, Reyn!" Connor smiled and stood up to speak.
"Then let's go! You should have a training ground here, right?" Gordon said with a smile.
The Night Watchmen and officers practicing in the training ground paused their movements and turned to look over at the arrival of so many important figures.
Gordon's expression brightened, and he turned to Hamilton, saying, "Sheriff, it seems you're not as bold as your subordinate."
In front of this young master Gordon, his position as the sheriff of Flashgold Town was naturally far inferior to Connor's, an Imperial Army Colonel. But Connor remained silent beside them.
Reyn, standing nearby, also understood what was going on. The Knight named Carave had just whispered something to Gordon, reminding him of this matter.
Reyn took off the Two-Handed Sword he had been carrying on his back, the 'Radiant Greatsword', and held it in his hand. With the significant increase in strength, Reyn could now easily wield the Two-Handed Sword with one hand.
At this moment, a person dressed as a Plate Armor Knight standing next to Gordon whispered a few words in his ear, causing Gordon's eyes to light up. His gaze towards Reyn also changed.
This made many of the surrounding Night Watchmen exclaim in surprise. The newcomer was using a real weapon; was this still a duel? Even a formal duel wouldn't be like this! This time, even Colonel Connor narrowed his eyes, as using training weapons and combat weapons were two different concepts.
"What?"
The expression seemed to say, Reyn had just entered the Extraordinary stage, and you want him to spar with a Veteran Knight? Are you telling me there'll be a surprise? Are you the fool or am I?
The Knight named Carave walked to the center of the field and stood there. However, he didn't take the training sword offered by the Night Watchman, showing no intention to use it.
If the opponent struck with a bit more force, Reyn, the newly advanced Knight, would likely suffer a severe injury, interrupting the entire Extraordinary metamorphosis process and causing a one or two-fold decrease in his strength.
"Very well, lucky one. Then let's begin!" a deep voice sounded, belonging to the Knight Carave.
"Sir Hamilton!"
"Reyn, congratulations on finally entering the Extraordinary stage! I knew with your talent, this day wouldn't be too far off, but I never expected it to be so soon!"
When he came back to his senses, he saw his friend Hamilton glaring at him coldly, which made him both angry and amused.
So, Reyn first looked at Hamilton and Connor, giving them a signal that he was confident, and then turned to Gordon, saying, "Spar? Of course, no problem."
"Sheriff!"
He hadn't expected that Gordon had suspected Reyn hadn't consumed the Elixir but had taken some other potion, resulting in a seemingly life aura burst and the appearance of entering the Extraordinary stage.
"Reyn, is it? Since you say you've successfully entered the Extraordinary stage, it's indeed rare for someone your age. However, this Knight Carave by my side is eager to spar with you."
After hearing Gordon's words, Hamilton was momentarily speechless.
But ever since Reyn had entered the room, he had a feeling that Reyn, who had just entered the Extraordinary stage, might pose a certain threat to him.
The crowd began to whisper amongst themselves.
The Knight Carave beside Gordon, according to Hamilton's intuition, was likely to be even stronger than him, and most probably a Veteran Knight.
Just in time, after his breakthrough, he was in dire need of an opponent to test his improved strength.
"Is Reyn going to duel a formal Knight?"
This way, it would prove that he had indeed consumed that rare Advanced Potion, thus avoiding the endless pestering from other Nobles for the potion.
Gordon waved his hand and said, "This training sword is unsuitable as a weapon for a Knight's duel. Let them use their own weapons!"
Of course, the first few hours after consuming the potion were the most intense period of metamorphosis, typically completing about seven to eight-tenths of the total transformation. But it didn't mean that the remaining two to three-tenths of the transformation was unimportant.
"What?" Gordon was startled and carefully examined Reyn. The next moment, he pointed at Reyn and exclaimed in surprise, "You... you really consumed the Advanced Potion directly?"
Because an extraordinary transformation couldn't be completed in just a few hours; it usually required two to three days.
Hamilton turned to look at Colonel Connor, who seemed to realize something. He approached Hamilton and whispered, "Perhaps Reyn will give us a surprise." "Hmm?" Hamilton looked at Connor with an expression of disbelief.
However, if it were a combat weapon, the danger level of this duel would increase significantly, akin to a real duel! A slight misstep could result in severe injuries.
"I have no objections!" Reyn's expression turned serious, but he didn't show any signs of fear.
"Clang!"
Indeed! He posed a threat to this Peak Knight.
"Yes, it's right here," Reyn nodded.
At this moment, Hamilton and Colonel Connor, who had just realized the situation, looked at Reyn with surprise.
If they were using training weapons—ironwood swords, and both were in a state of wearing plate armor, the danger level of this duel would be relatively low, and there was unlikely to be any unexpected incidents.
"Sheriff, why not? Is it because Lord Reyn hasn't truly entered the extraordinary realm but achieved this through the effects of some potion?" Gordon spoke with a knowing smile, as if he had seen through their act.
"Yes, Reyn is now one of the Night Watch's proud members in Flashgold Town. What are you thinking, Hamilton? If Reyn loses, won't it be a loss of face for our town?"

"Believe me, you've done something incredibly stupid!" Gordon said with an unpleasant expression.
Therefore, after a brief congratulation, Colonel Connor kept pondering over this matter.
Obviously, there were many Nobles like this young master Gordon, coveting Reyn's Advanced Potion, not just the one before their eyes.
"Hmm! Hold on, Reyn will have a duel with this Knight Carave!" Hamilton said with a gloomy expression.
After a few seconds of scrutinizing Reyn, Hamilton stood up with a smile and said, "No way!" Hamilton shook his head, directly refusing on Reyn's behalf.
Of course, the most important thing was for Reyn to demonstrate his strength and prove that he had truly entered the extraordinary realm and become a formal Knight.
Reyn glanced at the Knight and, based on his perception, judged that the Knight's strength seemed to be on par with Hamilton's, but he couldn't make a more detailed assessment.
"Is it possible that Reyn is already a formal Knight?"
"Even if I lose to a formal Knight, it's not a big deal! If it were you, you probably wouldn't even qualify for the duel!" Matteo, the short man, retorted unhappily.
However, Reyn had a vague feeling that the Knight's strength might be stronger than his, but the difference was very limited.
Reyn furrowed his brows and said with displeasure, "My Lord, isn't my successful advancement something worth celebrating?"
Thus, the group of five, led by the guards, arrived at the training ground behind the administrative hall.
Reyn drew the two Knight Swords from his waist, revealing himself as a rare Dual Sword Knight.
"Impossible! Just a few days ago, when I was with Reyn rescuing the kidnapped child, he wasn't a Knight yet. How could he have become a Knight in just three days?" One of the Night Watch shook his head.
"This..."
"Reyn's strength is formidable, but compared to a formal Knight, he might not be a match."
Because he could clearly sense the vibrant life aura emanating from Reyn, which was a typical phenomenon for a Knight Acolyte who had just advanced to a formal Knight.
Of course, if one wanted to deal significant damage, they would need to use a two-handed slash.
Seeing that Reyn was ready, Carave made his move. The next moment, a 'whoosh' sound was heard, and Carave, wearing over a hundred pounds of Knight Plate Armor, moved like a swift cheetah, exceptionally light and agile as he rushed towards Reyn.
With this move, the Night Watch members felt their eyes blur, and Carave disappeared from sight. When their eyes caught him again, he was already in front of Reyn.
"A speed-type Knight!" Hamilton narrowed his eyes and said.
