Chapter 85: Employment and Testing
"The Jackal Gang in the County Capital has been eradicated. 'Dog King' Cole and the core members of the gang were found dead in their lair, the Fighting Dog Manor, three days ago," Valen explained slowly.
Valen couldn't help but wonder if this incident was the doing of the young man before him, who was only a few years older than his daughter.
But after some thought, he concluded that it was unlikely.
Although 'Dog King' Cole's body had been burned to ashes and was unrecognizable, the other deceased members of the Jackal Gang seemed to have all died from potent poison.
This method was likely the work of well-trained assassins.
Therefore, it was highly probable that the Jackal Gang had inadvertently offended a noble during their usual arrogant and domineering behavior, and the noble had hired assassins to eliminate them.
"Oh? Captain Willen, do you know who did it?" Rain asked, feigning surprise, although he already knew the answer.
...
"Thank you, Sir Hamilton," Rain said with a delighted expression, slightly bowing as a gesture of appreciation.
"I see," Rain exclaimed, realizing that it made sense. He then opened the small booklet and began flipping through it. "The Elite Rank allows for exchanges in potions and weapons."
Sir Hamilton stated a number.
Rain took it and examined it carefully.
At the same time, the Military Breathing Technique was the only breathing technique listed in the exchange catalog.
For now, the nearby forest was not a suitable place for him to visit in the short term.
In terms of material, Rain quickly determined that it was primarily made of pure silver, with small amounts of other metals mixed in to prevent the emblem from becoming too soft.
Indeed, 'retaliation' was the quickest way to make money!
When Rain arrived at Sir Hamilton's office, he was slightly surprised and looked up at Sir Hamilton. "Isn't it just a Night Watchman?"
"That's right, Rain. I called you here because your Night Watchman paperwork has been completed," Sir Hamilton smiled and handed Rain a round silver emblem, slightly larger than a gold coin.
It seemed that the most likely reason was that his own rank was too low.
On the front of the emblem was a pattern of a person holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, with a bow on their back. The back of the emblem resembled a bounty hunter's emblem, also bearing Rain Calan's name and a string of numbers.
"By the way, Rain, to demonstrate your strength to everyone, come and punch me with all your might." Sir Hamilton turned and extended his palm towards Rain with a smile.
"There's no need to thank me. It was just a small effort on my part. It's a well-deserved reward for your hard work, Rain."
Rain was aware that he currently had only 119 points, not even a tenth of what was needed.
"Here's the exchange catalog. It contains all the items you can currently exchange for. You can take a look." Sir Hamilton handed Rain a small booklet.
"Sheriff!"
"Sir!"
Sir Hamilton casually complained.
"There are too many law and order incidents, as well as some mysterious events involving cults, monsters, and more. Even the Gale and Sea Goddess Church in the County Capital is busy dealing with these issues."
"Let's go, I'll show you around and introduce you to the others."
"This is Rain, a new member of our Night Watch. Everyone, get to know him." Sir Hamilton introduced Rain.
Apparently, the Imperial Military Swordsmanship he learned from that middle-aged man was worth 400 Valor Points.
Rain wasn't sure if it was because his Night Watchman Elite Rank was still insufficient or if there were other reasons.
"It usually takes about two years for an ordinary Night Watchman to accumulate enough Valor Points to be promoted to the Elite Rank," Sir Hamilton explained with a smile.
For Rain, improving his strength was always the top priority.
However, according to Claire, the Mammoth Breath Technique was widely known and studied by many noble families. Logically, the Imperial Military should have conducted even more research on it.

"If necessary, we can consider using it again in the future."
"Lately, something feels off."
"At this hour, most of them should be at the training ground, except for those who were on night duty yesterday."
As soon as Rain entered, he noticed Sir Hamilton, a formal knight, looking weary as he rubbed his forehead with one hand while flipping through case files.
Upon seeing Hamilton's arrival, the night watchmen, guards, and other personnel in training paused and greeted him.
"Haha, of course not. The night watchmen, guards, and the city guard all fall under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Security and Guard Force, so the valor points are universal." Hamilton explained with a smile.
Hamilton noticed Rain's arrival and nodded, "Rain, have a seat."
"Sir Hamilton!"
"Alright, let's go now." Rain nodded in agreement.
"I'm not sure, but according to the investigation at the scene, it seems like the work of professional assassins. Many of the Jackal Gang members and dogs in the estate were killed by poison." Valen shook his head and explained.
"By the way, your valor points should be over a hundred. Let me check... For the werewolf and the fishman, you currently have 119 valor points."
After exiting the office and turning right twice, Rain followed Hamilton to a training ground. The area wasn't large, only a few hundred square meters, but it was well-equipped with various dummies, archery targets, and a good selection of longswords.
On the cover of the booklet were the words: 'Imperial Security and Guard Force Valor Points Exchange Catalog (Officer)'.
After chatting for a while, Valen remembered the purpose of his visit and spoke up, "By the way, Rain, if you're not busy, come with me to the town administration. Sir Hamilton is waiting for you in his office."
"Is this valor point worth 1200 points?"
"Haha, of course! It's right behind the town administration." Hamilton's previous fatigue vanished as he laughed and stood up, as if suddenly remembering something.
Rain couldn't help but be amazed.
With these valor points, Rain could exchange them for four fine steel greatswords.
"I originally thought poisoning my weapons would only increase my killing efficiency, but I never expected it to also mislead investigations."
"By the way, Sir, do the night watchmen have a dedicated training ground?" Rain asked.
However, the Dragon Empire Military Swordsmanship and Military Breathing Technique could be exchanged separately, requiring 400 and 800 valor points, respectively.
"This is the emblem representing the elite night watchmen."
Rain wondered if any of the elite night watchmen had successfully exchanged for the Dragon Empire Military Swordsmanship and its accompanying Military Breathing Technique.
"Wow! Even the Dragon Empire Military Swordsmanship and its accompanying Military Breathing Technique can be exchanged?"
"Thank you, Sir. I can't quite grasp how much these valor points can get me, but with just over a hundred, I doubt I can get anything useful."
Rain also had a question he wanted to consult Hamilton about.
At that moment, several people were training on their own. Rain scanned the area and noticed that the majority, about sixty percent, were practicing archery.
Rain opened the booklet Hamilton had given him.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar First Release of this Novel.
Hearing this, Rain felt relieved.
Rain quickly realized that his 119 valor points were neither too many nor too few.
In fact, Hamilton had been wanting to test Rain's strength and aptitude.
Ever since Rain stopped the injured rampaging werewolf, Hamilton had been thinking about it.
However, he hadn't brought it up due to his own injuries and the fact that Rain wasn't officially employed as a night watchman.
But now that Rain had become an official night watchman and was directly under Hamilton, he decided to test the young man he had high hopes for.
