Chapter 97: The Journal of an Unconventional Man
Chapter 97: The Journal of an Unconventional Man
Judging from his attributes, Reyn's strength had officially reached the level of a Level 3 Knight Squire.
With the secret technique 'Roar Strike' and the core skill 'Power Surge', Reyn would likely have no rivals below the rank of a formal knight.
However, speaking of rivals, Reyn immediately thought of Endry.
According to Hamilton's description, Endry was a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, not particularly strong in combat, but possessing numerous bizarre tricks.
"If I were caught off guard by him, I'd be in big trouble."
"His strength is lacking, but he makes up for it with poison!"
But the next moment, Cookie circled around Reyn, tugging at his pant legs with his mouth as if urging him to go and take a look.

Reyn had a steel longsword and a half-sword issued to Night Watchmen, but the staff sword could be useful for stealth attacks in the future.
Reyn patted the hilt of his steel longsword, thinking, "Not bad! This nickname seems pretty cool."
Just then, a cute little head popped out from the doorway, and it was Mint.
"Oh no!"
"Damn, who writes a journal anyway?!"
Reyn had three bottles, two of which he didn't know the use of, and he planned to ask Schmidt about them when he had the chance.
Reyn didn't see anything wrong with this.
"It doesn't seem to be a beast, and Cookie isn't showing any signs of fear."
"Knock knock knock," the sound of knocking interrupted Reyn's thoughts.
She saw her brother Reyn lifting his shirt, then looked at Anna, her mouth wide open in surprise.
The journal detailed his travels, the things he saw and heard, and some juicy secrets. Perhaps the order of those two words should be reversed.
This didn't contradict what Hamilton had said.
"Of course."
After all, history is written by the victors.
Reyn, realizing he hadn't sorted the loot yet, laid out Endry's items on his desk, including the journal.
This was a typical exaggeration, probably from a Night Watchman who had participated in the investigation task during the day, claiming a three-meter-tall monster was five meters tall. "Woof woof!"
Finally, Reyn picked up the slightly old journal with its leather cover.
This immediately put Reyn on alert.
"Oh, right, Reyn, are you injured? I can use my talisman to help."
In summary, it could be described in two words: 'Specialization'.
However, Reyn's right hand was already on the hilt of the steel longsword on his back.
Then, Reyn went over the tasks he needed to complete next.
This so-called basic meditation technique was not recorded in the journal.
When Reyn went downstairs, he saw that his mother, Emma, had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Additionally, if these Wizard Apprentices were all as cunning and ruthless as Endry, going there now could easily lead to an unexpected downfall.
'Bat Marketplace' probably referred to a place where these Wizard Apprentices traded items.
It looked like an emerald ring, but on one side of the emerald, there was a tiny trigger the size of a needle, which seemed to release the hallucinogenic gas silently when pressed.
"Damn wizard qualification, my basic meditation technique has made almost no progress, and the elixir to increase spiritual power is too expensive! If only I could obtain a treasure worth a fortune..."
The four family members, plus Anna, sat around a simple wooden table, enjoying the meal together.
The latest entry, dated two days ago, was about when Schmidt invited him to participate in the investigation mission at the Elim Mine.
Reyn flipped through a few pages and realized it was indeed Endry's journal.
Basic meditation technique? Reyn's pupils constricted in an instant! He flipped through Endry's journal repeatedly, but in the end, he still couldn't find any trace of the basic meditation technique and felt deeply disappointed.
"Thank you, Anna, I'll be careful."
Since Reyn and the other Night Watchmen had fought at the Elim Gold Mine during the day, Hamilton had specially granted them two days off.
"Unconventional people like to write journals!"
After some thought, Reyn decided to wait until he became a formal knight and entered the Extraordinary rank before searching for this so-called Bat Marketplace.
".
"Hmm! Something's off, I smell blood!" Reyn's nostrils twitched.
Reyn also weighed the ring that released the hallucinogenic gas in his hand.
Three pickled herrings, a large portion of pickled pork, a whole roasted chicken, a big bowl of mashed potatoes, five one-pound white bread loaves, and a bottle of milk.
This puzzled Reyn a little.
As Reyn's appetite grew, his mother, Emma, prepared better meals, and nearly half of the food ended up in Reyn's stomach.
Next, Reyn took out the leather pouch and emptied its contents onto the table.
Secondly, he needed to visit the quartermaster to exchange a shield defense technique scroll.
But Cookie, the Lynxhound, was used to roaming at night, and after circling Reyn a few times, he barked twice towards the door.
But hearing the latter part, Reyn was speechless!
Although Reyn had walked away, in the quiet night environment, he could clearly hear the voices of his three Night Watchmen colleagues talking about him.
"Yeah! Don't you know him? Today, he used a longsword to slay a five-meter-tall monster at the Elim Mine.
"Reyn, can I come in?" Anna's soft voice called out from outside.
If something were amiss, he could react immediately.
Reyn suddenly felt like he was searching for knowledge in a steamy novel.
Could it be some kind of beast? But Reyn, preferring to avoid trouble, had no intention of venturing into the woods at night to investigate.
Reyn thought to himself, it seems like 'Mage' is much richer than 'Assassin'.
He usually didn't need to use it.
"Alright! Let's go take a look."
"No wonder Cookie wanted me to come over."
But now, Reyn was also a specialist!
An hour later, Reyn closed the diary he had obtained from Endry, deep in thought.
If this had been a month ago, it would have been an unimaginable luxury dinner.
"I really don't have any, trust me," Reyn said, rolling up his sleeves and then lifting his shirt to show her.
'Greatsword Reyn?'
"Is this the Barbarian girl with the great shield?" Reyn exclaimed.
Basic meditation techniques were crucial, and perhaps he could find related information at the Bat Marketplace.
As for Hamilton's kind reminder, Reyn understood that he wanted him to focus his limited energy on the path to becoming a Knight Extraordinary.
Reyn turned and saw Anna, still with her head down, walking in, seemingly hesitant to look him in the eye.
".On the way to Emerald Bay, we went to the Emerald Tavern, where the strippers were so hot that they wore almost nothing. For three days straight, I never left the inn."
As they passed each other, Reyn smiled and greeted her.
Reyn immediately understood what Cookie meant; he wanted him to take it on the night patrol! So, amidst Mint's giggles and Anna's serene smile, Reyn had no choice but to take Cookie for a walk outside.
"A bard?"
Reyn immediately used his dark vision to focus on that direction. In the mottled moonlight of the woods, a woman he remembered vividly was lying on the ground, with her signature great shield beside her.
But now, whenever Reyn was home, this had become a daily occurrence.
"Hey, isn't that Greatsword Reyn?"
It was difficult for a girl to speak such caring words, especially someone like Anna with her personality.
Based on the diary's description, the location of the Bat Marketplace was most likely somewhere in the City Capital.
However, when he reached the end, his expression turned solemn.
".Considering I have to participate in an investigation task tomorrow, I went to the Bat Marketplace in Maister City and bought a small bottle of hallucinogenic gas, which I infused into a ring."
It was just a matter of specializing in three skills: blacksmithing, night watch, and dog training.
This entry had Reyn's teenage blood boiling with excitement, his mind racing.
"Why does she seem even more like an assassin than the last one?"
The rest was just a matter of following the routine.
As Reyn carefully flipped through the pages, he heard Mint's crisp voice.
"Brother, it's time for dinner."
Suddenly, Cookie started barking fiercely at the woods by the roadside.
But in the next moment, Anna's slightly raised chest heaved, as if gathering courage. Soon, she lifted her head and said to Reyn, "Reyn, I heard that several night watchmen sacrificed themselves this afternoon. Please be careful when you go out."
Unfortunately, he had already caught the attention of the eldest son of the Duke Habsburg, Baron Alonso, so going to the City Capital was still a bit too risky.
First, he hid the weapon that resembled a staff but concealed a sword inside, tucking it under his bed.
Reyn muttered to himself.
The first step was to raise his Bear Sword Technique to level 5.
For example, there was a lengthy description that read: "In the month of green grass, I traveled to York County, where Duke Charles introduced me to the Duchess of York. Her tall, graceful figure and milk-white skin captivated me, and the pink nails on her slender feet shone with a mesmerizing light. After much effort, I found the love grass and finally obtained her. (Omitted 300 words)"
Cookie dashed ahead, quickly darting into the woods, and thanks to Reyn's significantly improved physical condition and dark vision, he was able to follow the lynx into the night woods.
"What are you thinking, little one? Brother wants Anna to check if there are any injuries!" Reyn said, patting Mint on the head with a smile.
Reyn understood!
After calming down, Reyn continued reading attentively.
"Not bad, there are over sixty gold coins and many silver coins."
Cookie stopped ahead, turned, and barked at Reyn, seemingly indicating that this was the spot.
"Mint, it's not what you're thinking," Anna said, blushing and waving her hands in denial.
The Barbarian girl's signature shield was almost half-broken, with the broken parts showing wood splinters and jagged cracks, suggesting it had been smashed by some heavy hammer-like weapon.
The girl's body showed no obvious wounds, but her shield arm was twisted in an eerie manner, likely dislocated or fractured.
Wait, that's not right!
Reyn suddenly noticed a dark aura emanating from the twisted arm, giving off an unsettling vibe.
