Chapter 150: A Minor Trouble, Already Resolved



As Rayen's mastery of Tokkar Hammer Technique had reached Level 4 (3/1000), he was currently absorbing and integrating fragmented memories of his training into his muscle memory.

These memory fragments were scattered pieces of hammer technique training, which Rayen was quickly digesting and incorporating into his physical memory.

The process felt to Rayen as if he had suddenly gained a year's worth of intense practice in Tokkar Hammer Technique.

Some previously overlooked details of the hammer technique were also improved and supplemented.

Additionally, Rayen noticed that his Knight (Supernatural) profession level had reached Level 3 (476/500) and was about to advance to Level 4.

Of course, his Apprentice Wizard profession level was already at Level 4, so it would be a while before he could advance again.

"Cough, Rayen, I never expected you to be able to kill that guy Adams," Hamilton patted Rayen on the shoulder, his face filled with relief.

Instantly, Cuddles' dog eyes lit up!

"Aunt Emma has been brainwashing her son, thinking that once he becomes a noble lord, he can have a wife and multiple mistresses, or even more!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, then said, "Since it's an Imperial official carrying out their duties, it's a different matter."

Soon, a male voice could be heard from inside, "Who's the stray dog here?"

Hearing Rayen's words, Hamilton's mouth twitched involuntarily!

Rayen chose to break down the door.

White finger bones, Adams probably hadn't shown them before, but Rayen felt that Adams was most likely not hiding this unimpressive-looking cane.

"I just started working at this fortune-telling shop last month, and I had no idea that our boss was an Imperial fugitive," the young man couldn't help but go soft in the knees, slowly leaning against the wall, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Your boss's real name is Adams, the Imperial fugitive. Do you have anything else to say?"

As Rayen was about to leave with Cuddles to head north of Flashgold Town, he quickly realized that two familiar footsteps were following them.

The white, slender finger bone particularly piqued Rayen's interest.

Since Rayen's Mental Power had reached 20 points, he immediately discerned the distinct scent of a female wraith on the white finger bone.

"Oh well, it's no big deal to give her a hug!" Lagra thought to herself.

"It seems like Rayen and his team won the recent battle, that's great!"

Mateo quickly rushed over.

However, Hamilton's physical condition wasn't ideal, possibly due to the backlash from the 'Minor Physical Reflection Shield' he had just received.

Of course, it was also possible that his level was higher, such as a Level 3 Apprentice Wizard, and he was deliberately concealing it to appear as a Level 2.

"I'm here to capture the Imperial fugitive Adams. I believe that even the Bat Market wouldn't shelter a wanted criminal, right?" Rayen pointed to the emblem on his Knight armor.

"By the way, are you planning to claim the bounty directly, or will you report it under the identity of the Deputy Sheriff of Flashgold Town?"

After some thought, Rayen said to Lagra, "Your shield and figure are too conspicuous. Why don't you wait here with Mateo and the others?"

"There's a weak man inside, probably Adams' servant, or just a regular employee."

Could Adams' residence be in a manor north of Flashgold Town? Rayen wondered.

Rayen first looked around and noticed that no one on the street was paying attention to him and Cuddles. Without hesitation, he circled around the shop, carefully observing it.

Hamilton's implied meaning was clear to Rayen; he understood that a Level 3 Apprentice Wizard would require resources that a small town couldn't provide.

After all, the resources needed for a Level 3 Apprentice Wizard to advance were beyond what a small town could offer.

Rayen was delighted with this realization.

After tracking Adams from Flashgold Town to the county town, he had finally found a place where Adams might have stayed.

Rayen couldn't help but smile at this thought.

Soon, he discovered that one of the shop windows was half-open.

Rayen's words resonated with the night watchmen.

"Hmm," Hamilton's words made Rayen ponder.

When Lagra saw Rayen rushing towards her, her first thought was that Rayen wanted to hug her and Anna.

At that moment, Rayen's peripheral vision caught sight of two familiar slender figures appearing at the alley entrance.

Next, Rayen opened the purse and found only a meager thirty to forty Imperial gold coins.

Seeing Rayen's hesitation, Hamilton tactfully offered his opinion.

However, when Rayen approached the pile of black robe fragments, he couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded! This was a bit hard to handle! Hesitating, Rayen's hands felt sticky and warm as he searched through the black robe.

A crystal ball, two Wizardry Scrolls, three books written in Arcadian Script (Akaede Language), and a pile of miscellaneous materials.

"Should I respond or just give him a little hug too?"

"This guy is getting more and more outrageous!"

At that moment, the four couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise. By then, the sky had already begun to brighten.

"As Adams's accomplice, you're under arrest!" Rain shouted.

Now, the two of them were in separate rooms.

Rain's face lit up, and he waved his hands vigorously in the air.

The correct version can be found at 69shuba.com! 6=9+shuba.

"Sir, we might have an unexpected discovery." Rain turned to Hamilton and said.

At this moment, the person inside cautiously asked, "Who's out there?"

"Woof!" At that moment, Lintie Dog 'Cuddles' poked her head out from beside Lagra's legs.

"It's a pity that it's unlikely to locate and find the other party's secrets directly through this iron key."

"Now, please cooperate with my work. I'm asking you, Adams, where is your boss's bedroom?" Rain asked calmly.

Rain waved to Mateo from a distance.

"Obviously, the items Adams left on his body are completely mismatched with his strength, and there's a high probability that they're hidden somewhere."

"Anna, Lagra, how did you two get here?" Rain called out.

The two women had different thoughts when they saw Rain rushing over.

"Yes, sir!" Mateo said with a smile.

Rain then picked up 'Cuddles' and entered the Bat Market.

The door wouldn't open? Rain raised his right hand, which was wearing a plate gauntlet, and struck the wooden door forcefully! "Bam!"

There was nothing else, which couldn't help but make Rain a little disappointed.

"Leave it to the lieutenant!" Hamilton waved his hand with a smile.

This level of wealth was truly disproportionate to the other party's strength.

"Perhaps, this iron key in my hand is the key."

Rain then had 'Cuddles' sniff the blood-soaked black robe on the ground, followed by the short staff and the iron key.

At this moment, Rain remembered that he hadn't had time to collect his spoils of war.

Anna nodded, and at the same time, she lowered her head slightly, and her eyes dimmed.

Sometimes, as ordinary people, the night watchman was more of a livelihood for them.

After calming the excitement in his heart, Rain planned to start counting his spoils of this battle.

Soon, Rain and his party of five arrived at the north side of Flashgold Town.

Hey! This was near Frank's Tavern.

But an hour passed!

Two hours later, Rain returned home and immediately went to the storeroom, placing the black package directly on the table.

The next second, Rain's vision switched to 'Cuddles'.

After a brief thought, Rain said, "Anna, you should go home first. There might be some danger later. Lagra, you can come with me."

Could it be that Adams usually hides in the Bat Market?

"Do you recognize this?" Rain took out the staff that belonged to Adams from behind.

When Rain walked out of the Bat Market, Mateo, who had been waiting at the entrance, greeted him immediately. "Sir, how did it go?"

Oh yes, Rain suddenly remembered that Anna and he had practiced basic meditation at the same time, which was probably the effect of basic meditation.

Rain wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that after consuming the mutated growth potion, 'Cuddles' seemed to have become smarter.

"He doesn't know that we Barbarian Maidens are very traditional!"

Obviously, this was the place where 'Cuddles' recognized Adams had stayed before.

It was Lagra and Anna.

In fact, Rain was inclined towards the first option. In the previous battle, he had witnessed Adams's combat power and the potential unleashed by the second-level apprentice wizard's possession of several Wizardry Scrolls.

After that, he wagged his tail and walked back and forth in front of the closed shop door.

He could feel the active mental energy of the two people inside.

Or, if such an expert lived in the town, it would be very inconvenient to obtain resources.

And if he reported it under the name of the Deputy Sheriff of Shangjin Town, the reward in terms of Imperial Gold Coins would basically be non-existent, converted into merit points instead. Additionally, the act of killing Adams would be recorded as a separate achievement in his record.

Currently, Rain had no idea about the effects of these items.

"Are you the managers of the Bat Market?"

"No problem, sir! Valerius, Lennon, come with me." Mateo's face lit up, and he patted his chest.

As expected, it's good to have a powerful backer! Rain thought.

"Okay!" Lagra tightened her grip on the shield and nodded.

Both of them had different thoughts.

"Of course, Sir Hamilton, then let's report it under the name of the Shangjin Town Sheriff's collaborative killing. By the way, please don't be stingy with the details of your and your colleagues' combat contributions."

As soon as Rain touched it, he felt a chill, smoothness, and weight, indicating that the density of this wood was extraordinary.

From the expression, it seemed that he was wondering if his position in the boss's heart had already surpassed that of the two female bosses?

At this moment, Rain also finished using the skill 'Beast Eye' and broke into a smile.

Soon, Cuddles leaped out of the window again.

This feeling was similar to when Rain had defeated a boss in his previous life's online game, only to find that the loot was trash.

Rain chuckled and turned to Mateo and the other two, saying, "Your uniforms are too eye-catching. Wait here for a while."

"Call two quick-witted ones and come with me." Rain instructed.

Thinking of the female wraith, Rain looked around and realized that she had disappeared from the spot where Adams had perished.

If he could obtain more, he could make his family's life a little better. Even if the tasks were sometimes dangerous and he got injured, he would still find it worthwhile.

Many people had been injured by the female wraith, and those who had been grimacing in pain while treating their wounds now had eased up, some even laughing.

If he directly claimed it, he would get a reward of 1000 Imperial Gold Coins, and he could further improve his bounty hunter level.

Lagra was aware of the commotion, and Rain wasn't surprised.

"Yes, sir!"

Hamilton glanced at the Lynti Dog running with its nose to the ground, and immediately understood what Rain meant.

Soon, Rain had searched through the loot and found a staff resembling a crooked cane, a white, slender finger bone, an iron key, and a small pouch containing a small amount of gold coins.

"Not to mention, the Lieutenant is very generous with the spoils of war!" This was the sentiment of most of the Night Watch's elite.

However, Rain carefully examined these three items.

Shop assistants were usually young people with relatively strong mental fortitude, selected from ordinary people.

"Okay, sir." Rain nodded.

Rain's eyebrows arched, and he smiled.

"Sheriff Sir, Lieutenant Sir, please look at this body." One of the Night Watch's elite reported.

Then, Rain gestured, and Cuddles' eyes lit up. She started sniffing and running ahead to scout the way towards the north side of Flashgold Town.

Ten minutes later, Rain emerged from the divination shop with a large black bag, followed by a young man with a dejected expression.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

She glanced at Lagra, who was standing nearby, holding a brand-new metal great shield and looking valiant. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.

This caused the two women to exchange glances, both feeling a sense of loss.

As expected!

Immediately, Mateo ordered the two Night Watch's elite behind him to detain the person and follow Rain back to Flashgold Town.

"Rain, over here," the two said, looking around. Because the alley was quite dark, they couldn't see the end of the alley where Adams' body was.

"Hmm, if it's as you say, you'll be free soon."

"It's not business hours yet, so the diviner isn't here." The other party explained.

Just as the two women were anxiously waiting for Rain's embrace, he suddenly squatted down right under their noses.

Rain's pupils constricted, and his expression turned serious.

He weighed the pouch, then put it away.

"Sir, are you mistaken? We don't have that person here." The young man replied, looking confused.

Finally, Rain held the iron key and played with it.

After a moment's thought, Rain began to use his newly acquired Beast Tamer core skill, 'Beast Eye.'

Of course, there was also a possibility that the finger bone had no connection to the female wraith in her previous life, and it was only after Adams had modified it in some way that it became a medium for casting.

"Adams?"

Perhaps, in a typical morning market, there would be early-rising merchants and pedestrians, but at the Bat Market, the flow of people was extremely scarce, and the streets were empty.

A fugitive with a bounty of 1000 Imperial Gold Coins was just a minor problem in your eyes? Well, you're the winner, and you call the shots!

"The boss's cane?" The young man's eyes widened in surprise, as if realizing something.

"A minor problem, already taken care of." Rain reassured him.

"Mateo, detain this person and interrogate him later about his connection with Adams."

Rain recalled that at the end of the fight, he had vaguely seen a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth as they dissipated at the alley's entrance.

Upon entering, Rain released the Lynti Dog 'Cuddles', and its dog eyes regained their previous liveliness. It sniffed and began to quickly scout ahead.

"Rain, do you need us to accompany you?"

How she wished she could be like Lagra, oh, how good that would be!

A diviner? It seemed that this was a fake identity Adams had used to disguise himself.

In an instant, Rain realized! Indeed, a master like Adams with such strength was most likely hiding in the county town.

As expected, the book from his previous life stated that a dog's sense of smell was thousands of times stronger than a human's, and it was true!

The sound of wood cracking!

Inside, he had been injured by some unknown energy and was coughing incessantly.

Rain's heart couldn't help but swell with a long-lost sense of anticipation.

Obviously, these all required money, Imperial Gold Coins! But would he still lack money if he continued to climb the ranks?

As Crowley's family hired him as a Guardian Knight, the offered reward was a clear indication of their wealth.

Meanwhile, the four individuals beside them were astounded as Rain suddenly disappeared before their very eyes!

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I won't go. It's a burden, you choose a few people to accompany you."

So, Rain first opened the three books written in Arcadian Script.

Soon, the man and his dog arrived at a shop with a sign featuring stars, the sun, and the moon.

Although Rain could almost confirm that the employee before him was just an ordinary person, the only difference being their slightly higher mental power compared to the average person, which was a common occurrence within Bat City.

Rain, with Cuddles, quickly approached the pile of shredded black-robed meat.

Suddenly, a void the size of a face appeared on the wooden door, and Rain pulled the door bolt, opening it and walking in.

Practicing basic meditation, mental power gradually increased, and naturally, perception abilities also improved.

The gap in strength between her and Rain was significant, so she didn't voice any objections.

Rain approached and knocked on the door.

It seemed that the finger bones were likely the remains of the deceased.

Additionally, if Hamilton and the Night Watch colleagues reported this, their resumes would undoubtedly receive a boost and earn a certain amount of merit points.

For a moment, Rain couldn't determine the value or rarity of the materials.

Cuddles continued sniffing and running, and as they approached the county town, the distance grew shorter.

Anna was a bit conflicted.

Just as Rain was about to leave Bat City, two black-robed figures wearing hoods approached from the street ahead.

Rain's closeness made Mateo feel that his recent performance should have satisfied the adjutant.

Huh! A flash of insight crossed Rain's mind, and his eyes lit up! He saw him running towards the alley where Lagre and Anna were.

The bottles and jars in his waist pouch had shattered, but their contents had not yet leaked.

As expected, the Lintu Dog, Cuddles, entered the alley with the bat emblem and barked a few times, looking at Rain with a dog-like expression.

"Huh, Rain is running towards me, he must be coming to give me a hug after his victory."

Rain pulled Cuddles and said, "Cuddles, come with me."

He wondered what spoils the strongest enemy he had encountered so far would bring.

"Based on your combat performance, I believe you will earn a substantial amount of merit points. Once you pass the enfeoffment assessment, you will most likely receive a promotion."

First was a short staff, more accurately described as a short staff with a slightly thicker head and a smaller base, made from a single piece of unknown wood, giving it a dark gray appearance.

"Who are you?" asked a man in his twenties inside, seeing Rain in his knight armor and backing away in fear.

So, Rain was cautious and chose to search for other items first instead of touching them.

But how did Anna wake up?

His movements were identical to his sister Mint's! Rain couldn't help but complain in his mind.

It seemed to say, 'It should be here, but the aura ends here, there's nothing ahead!'

"Good boy, you're thoughtful!" Hamilton coughed and laughed.

This time's haul could be considered enormous!

Cuddles took a running start and leaped through a window about one and a half meters high.

It seemed no less impressive than Rain, reaching the level of a second-level apprentice wizard.

"This..." The two black-robed men were surprised by Rain's answer.

"Woof!" Cuddles barked softly.

The group of five quickly passed through the city gate, and Cuddles ran towards a place Rain was increasingly familiar with.

"It should be easy to handle."

"Sir, I'm innocent!"

Indeed, Rain felt like a burden.

However, Rain was slightly puzzled as Cuddles continued running towards the northern edge of Flashgold Town without stopping, showing no signs of slowing down.

He turned to see Lagre standing there.

"Young man, no fighting is allowed within Bat City. Any disputes must be reported to the city's management," said one of the black-robed men.

A flash of insight crossed Rain's mind! In an instant, he thought of an excellent location.

After all, the barbarian girl had combat experience, and this intense battle took place not far from her bedroom. If she hadn't noticed it, Rain would have found it strange.

"Not bad!"

"He's not a decent person."

"There's a diary!"

"In that case, I should be able to identify the origins and uses of these items in my hands!" Rain smiled as he held a book.
