Chapter 96: Three Consecutive System Prompts
Chapter 96: Three Consecutive System Prompts
Apprentice Wizard?
Reyn, standing nearby, listened with a thoughtful expression.
Clearly, the opponent had just cast a spell, and the pale green corrosive liquid ball called 'Acid Missile' was quite powerful.
Seeing the longing in Reyn's eyes, Hamilton immediately understood and said, "These apprentice wizards vary in strength."
"However, Reyn, you are a rare knight genius. Don't be distracted; focus on your path as a knight."
"Only knights are the orthodox path. Many of these apprentice wizards end up neither human nor ghost."
"Oh, thank you for the reminder, sir."
Reyn nodded, but his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
At that moment, three system prompts quietly appeared:

Thinking of the Roar Strike, Reyn quickly opened the Night Watchman panel.
"I was specially promoted by the system to become a Boulder Warrior, but I was blinded by the excitement!"
As the Mammoth Breath Technique reached level 5, it was like a bowstring being pulled to its limit and then suddenly breaking.
It seemed that the Mammoth Breath Technique did not entirely neglect agility, but improving agility required practicing the subsequent moves.
"Given your rate of progress, you can choose to sell the Stone Beast Heart to the Imperial Military Department in exchange for a high-quality advanced elixir."
"Your foreman at the gold mine has unfortunately perished in battle. Now, you must select a new foreman to manage the mine."
After some thought, Hamilton furrowed his brows and added, "By the way, Reyn, I have a suggestion for you to consider."
So, it was simply abandoned in the mine shaft.
"It seems Hamilton is facing a dilemma! If the Stone Beast Heart is included in the investigation report, the news will undoubtedly spread among the nobility, and I fear there will be a constant stream of powerful individuals seeking me, each with formidable backgrounds!"
"Instead, the most important thing is to calmly navigate through this period of weakness."
"Additionally, once the Bear Sword Technique reaches level 5, you should be able to unlock the second level of Roar Strike."
His original purpose for participating in this investigation mission at the Elim Gold Mine was to earn more Valor Points to exchange for an advanced elixir.
Reyn felt the surging power within his body, and for now, he had fulfilled the first prerequisite for the Knight Extraordinary promotion: reaching level 5 or higher in any knight breath technique.
As for the body of the Mountain Borer, after the Stone Beast Heart appeared, it seemed that all the essence had been extracted, leaving behind only ordinary granite and other worthless remains.
[Congratulations! Your Strength attribute has increased!]
And it was quite heavy.
Since the gold mine was located southwest of Shiny Gold Town, and Reyn's home was to the south of the town, it was about time for him to return.
[Congratulations! Your Physique attribute has increased!]
Only his shield defense seemed lacking, so he would have to find Hamilton or the quartermaster to exchange for a relevant battle skill.
It appeared that the foreman killed by Endry was not well-liked.
As for the second prerequisite, having 12 points or more in Strength, Agility, and Physique, he had just met the requirements.
"Although you can exchange your breath technique's corresponding advanced elixir using Valor Points, the one obtained will only be of ordinary quality."
Reyn quietly contemplated for a moment and decided to allocate the additional skill point to the Mammoth Breath Technique at level 4.
The mutation of his body's fascia, which had started earlier, intensified. The fascia fibers, which were initially thin, began to thicken and expand, connecting more strongly with his skeletal and muscular fibers.
"Clearly, Hamilton is a staunch supporter of the Knight Extraordinary path."
"Sir, here are three hundred gold coins. I might need some time to gather the remaining two hundred."
In an instant, Reyn understood.
Upon returning home, he found Anna and Mint taking care of Cookie. After greeting them, he went back to his room.
Reyn left the main group and took the opportunity to visit his home. Soon after, he arrived at Hamilton's office and handed over three hundred imperial gold coins.
Once the gold mine was properly managed, the group quickly returned to Shiny Gold Town.
Finally, the Mammoth Breath Technique reached level 5, fulfilling the breath technique requirement for the Knight Extraordinary promotion.
"Not to mention, I've also offended the Norman Family, Baron Alonso, and possibly the Wilderness Brotherhood, who might trace it back to me."
Moreover, this mission was originally an internal task for the Night Watch. If it weren't for Endry's appearance, Reyn wouldn't have claimed the Stone Beast Heart as a bounty hunter."
According to Hamilton, high-quality advanced elixirs had the potential to trigger two extraordinary traits.
After a brief contemplation, Reyn decided to seize the moment and quickly apply black lacquer to several specific areas before beginning his cultivation of the fourth move of the Mammoth Breath Technique.
The fourth move required a one-handed handstand, followed by touching the head with the feet, forming a circle with the body.
It could be said that the Mammoth Breath Technique primarily focused on enhancing strength and physique.
"High-quality Great Bear Palms are rare, and even if they do appear, the competition among the nobility is fierce! Therefore, the Imperial Military Department is the best choice.
"Now, by selling the 'Stone Beast Heart' to the Imperial Military Department, not only will I achieve this goal, but I will surpass it."
But Reyn knew that without Hamilton holding off the monster and wounding it first, it would be unlikely for him to succeed in the kill.
As Reyn opened his eyes again, it was as if he had endured months of intense training in the Mammoth Breath Technique.
"Hamilton considered this, so he politely suggested it to me."
This movement differed from the previous three in that the focus of the first three was on training the upper body's muscles and fascia, while from the fourth movement onwards, the Mammoth Breath Technique seemed to emphasize the training of the body's flexibility, stretching the fascia.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his body warming up, his muscles noticeably swollen, and his fascia becoming more resilient, like a network of ox sinews connecting his entire skeletal and muscular system.
This made sense; otherwise, no matter how strong a knight's power was, if they couldn't hit their target, the Mammoth Breath Technique wouldn't have become so widely known.
"Greed is indeed a sin!"
After understanding all this, Reyn smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "Of course, your suggestion is excellent, Lord Hamilton. I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Lord Hamilton, what is it?" Reyn looked at Hamilton's slightly troubled expression and asked curiously.
After a moment of thought, Reyn suddenly realized!
Instantly, a flood of memories about the Mammoth Breath Technique's cultivation flooded into Reyn's mind.
He only needed to practice riding, shield defense, and archery to level 3 and above, and he would have achieved his goal.
According to the bounty hunter's loot distribution rules, he didn't need to give this much.

"I'll find a suitable time to read it later."
Reyn understood the principle of 'guilt by possession'.
"In a short time, it's impossible for me to successfully change jobs while holding the Stone Beast Heart!"
"If I keep asking about the wizard apprentice, it will only make him uncomfortable."
But what Reyn didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived, three system prompts appeared one after another!
"Good! Good!" The more Hamilton looked at Reyn, the more pleased he became. He exclaimed 'good' twice, and the investigation report he was writing also proceeded without any further hiccups.
The miners glanced at each other, their faces showing no signs of sorrow.
Suddenly, Reyn's eyes widened, as if he had broken through some kind of limit.
The Crystal Lizard was loaded onto the minecart, and the elite Night Watchman slowly pushed it out.
But he didn't say much and directly collected it.
This... Reyn couldn't help but laugh out loud! It had been a long time since he had experienced an increase in his attributes while cultivating breath control.
Riding and archery were manageable.
In a moment of thought, Reyn inadvertently glanced at Hamilton, who was personally drafting the 'Investigation Report'. He noticed that Hamilton had just finished writing about the 'Mountain Stone Beast' section when he suddenly stopped.
[Congratulations! Your agility attribute has increased!]
Hamilton's quill pen moved swiftly between his fingers, and with a few swishes, he completed the investigation report on the Elim Mine.
"Alright!" Hamilton looked at Reyn with relief, though he was a bit surprised at how Reyn could come up with so much money.
Reyn, on the other hand, took out the 'Stone Beast Heart' from his waist pouch, which emitted a soft yellow glow, and solemnly handed it to Hamilton.
Reyn immediately understood Hamilton's intention and nodded, beginning to think seriously.
In this regard, Reyn had indeed gained a great advantage.
Soon, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a wrinkled face was pushed forward to temporarily take on the role of the supervisor.
After whispering to Hamilton for a while, Valen stepped forward and said loudly:
These scattered fragments of breath control cultivation memories flashed through Reyn's mind, awakening his muscles and fascia's memory like an innate instinct.
If Reyn had to pay as a Night Watchman, it would be far more than this.
As soon as they stepped out of the gold mine, the watching miners saw the Crystal Lizard's corpse on the minecart and couldn't help but cheer for Hamilton and Reyn.
"My top priority now is to advance to the Extraordinary rank as soon as possible. This world is so vast, and there must be more treasures than just the Stone Beast Heart." "As my strength increases, the chances of obtaining treasures will also rise."
Reyn focused his mind on an icon located above the Mammoth Breath Technique and Bear Sword Technique, which depicted a 'headshot' of a roaring bear! This was the icon for Roar Strike.
He glanced at the small text in the lower right corner: "Roar Strike lv2 requires the following conditions: 1. Mammoth Breath Technique lv5 or higher, Bear Sword Technique lv5 or higher; 2. Strength 12 points, Constitution 12 or higher."
(Note: Roar Strike is a secret technique and cannot be upgraded directly through skill points.) Reyn nodded, confirming that he hadn't remembered incorrectly; as long as his Bear Sword Technique reached lv5, he could unlock Roar Strike lv2.
This made Reyn anticipate the future!
The power of Roar Strike lv1 was already impressive, and he wondered what lv2 would be like!
