Chapter 60: 'Steel Plate Mail' and the Future 'Poison Sword Saint'
"Damn, is this some kind of noble feud? Do they think eliminating me will secure their victory?"
"Or do they see me as a mere chicken, a warning to others, or an ant to be crushed without a second thought?"
"Damn! Being weak is indeed a sin!"
Hamilton glanced at Rain, whose face was as somber as still water, though he had no idea what or whom Rain had offended.
There was one thing that puzzled Hamilton, though—why didn't Rain seek guidance from his 'teacher,' Perez?
Perhaps it was because Hamilton was his superior? "Rain, when your strength is still relatively weak, don't rush to retaliate. Focus on growing stronger first."
Rain nodded, his expression slightly relieved.
Damn, he also wanted to take revenge without delay, but he had to bide his time.
Besides the sword rack, there was also a large coat rack leaning against the wall in the room.
In addition, the Night Watchman's profession level increased significantly, reaching level 2 (207/300).
[You trained in Grizzly Sword Technique, and your understanding improved!]
"But ten years is too long."
Rain opened the document and finally understood the concept of 'Plate Mail.'
Rain's face showed confusion.
Rain was clear in his thoughts; regardless of nobility or cunning, survival was the priority.
Hamilton frowned slightly, then said, "Besides improving your own strength, enhancing your defense is probably a better way to deal with assassin attacks."
"Seize the day, that's what we young people should do!"
Indeed, on the front and back of the garment, Rain easily felt the hard, two-finger-wide metal plates sandwiched between the lining and the outer layer.
Additionally, the arms seemed to have metal plates for weight reduction.
As Rain left Hamilton's office, he now had a new piece of plate mail.
Suddenly, the Grizzly Sword Technique jumped from level 3 (499/500) to level 4 (0/1000). Fragmented memories of training in the technique began to flood Rain's mind, and he quickly absorbed and integrated them into his muscle memory.
A system notification appeared:
"Yes, it's going quite smoothly."
Hamilton took out a cotton waistcoat and handed it to Rain.
"What about this outfit?" His mother pointed at Rain's clothes and asked.
"Oh, this is the 'Plate Mail' given to me by the Sheriff."
"By the way, I have a piece of plate mail here that you might find useful."
After all, these poisons were practically free, so what's the harm in wasting a little? If they proved effective, he might consider keeping them on hand.
These metal plates were stacked and connected to the lining of the cotton garment with horizontally arranged rivets.
"Really?" His mother looked at Rain doubtfully, as she clearly remembered him wearing a different outfit earlier.
Hamilton waved his hand and said, "Rain, as a member of the Night Watch, I am your superior, and this is one of the few things I can do for you."
This was the pouch of money from the assassin.
Rain smiled and patted the plate mail, emitting a dull 'thud' sound.
[Your skill, Grizzly Sword Technique, has improved. Experience gained: 1]
Hamilton stood up and gestured for Rain to follow him. The two of them returned to the small compartment behind his office.
"Why are you so late? I heard you went out on a mission today?" His mother approached and took the pie from Rain's hand.
Soon, a smile appeared on Rain's face.
"With this plate mail, it'll be easier to defend against regular assassination attempts." Hamilton motioned for Rain to put it on.
[Your skill, Grizzly Sword Technique, has improved. Experience gained: 101]
Rain realized that the poisons and antidotes he had obtained were the most significant gains of the day.
By the time Rain returned home, it was already past dinnertime.
As soon as Rain touched it, he was slightly surprised by its weight. He found that the cotton waistcoat was quite heavy, weighing around 20 to 30 pounds, indicating there was something hidden inside.
Rain was deeply convinced!
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary cotton garment, but its essence was completely different.
Of course, Rain also brought back the pile of bottles and the black dagger.
Immediately, Rain settled down to inspect them:

His mother touched the garment and immediately noticed the difference, her face showing surprise.
"So, when I go out on missions in the future, you won't have to worry so much."
Rain took the opportunity to reassure his mother.
After a hasty dinner, Rain returned to his room to sort through his gains.
