Duke lowered his head, incredulously staring at the protruding blade tip.
The official “Mystical Side person” with a double identity, Zhang, opened his mouth wide, wanting to call out to his “secret pet,” but a large hand covered his mouth. Not only did it block the cry that was about to escape, but it also pulled him back into the carriage.
His vision began to blur.
But Duke still vaguely saw the ‘Night Watcher’ he thought he’d successfully deceived, pulling a box from under the seat.
As the box opened, Duke’s life came to an end.
In his final moment, Duke’s heart was filled with endless questions.
Eventually, it became just one.
Almost simultaneously, Jason began to remind himself that he must never give up his “advantage” at any time, and absolutely could not act clever like Duke.
Perhaps one day in the future, he might face a situation like Duke’s.
But he definitely wouldn’t be as “calm” as Duke.
Nor would he be so “confident”.
After all, such confidence is already arrogance.
And the outcome of arrogance?
It’s clearly evident.
With caution, Jason pulled out the folded parchment.
After unfolding it, the Dufol Language was inscribed on it—
2. “Protection Against Evil (Proficient)”.
3. Hunt ten different types of monsters, and be well-acquainted with their characteristics (including but not limited to natural monsters, aberrations, Evil Spirits, constructs, as well as alchemical and Magic Potion monsters)
4. Have engaged in at least 3 nighttime battles
[Night Watcher advancement occupation information gathering…]
[Collection complete!]
[Night Watcher advancement occupation “Whirlwind” assessment in progress…]
[Night Watcher appointment (completed)]
[Protection Against Evil (Proficient) (completed)]
[Hunting ten different monsters, and well-acquainted with their characteristics: 6/10]
[3 nighttime battles (completed)]
[Conditions insufficient, assessment for Night Watcher advancement cannot be completed!]
Jason didn’t need to judge whether the information on the parchment was accurate,
the text before him gave him a definite answer.
“The advancement from ‘Night Watcher’ is to ‘Whirlwind,’ isn’t it?”
Jason murmured to himself, his gaze starting to sweep over the advancement conditions.
Aside from “hunting ten different monsters, and being well-acquainted with their characteristics,” everything else was complete.
At this moment, Jason finally understood why Taniel and Sir Beta found his collection of monsters unremarkable.
Clearly, they had taken it as a necessity for his advancement.
Without a doubt, it was a good misunderstanding.
Jason would absolutely not explain.
Then, instinctively, Jason began to mentally tally the monsters he “knew well”.
“I have consumed ‘Touch of Svaognir,’ ‘Laughingstock,’ ‘Guile’s Hangman,’ ‘Submerger,’ ‘Guthwulf Hunting Hound,’ ‘Kmeta,’ ‘Harken’ in its larval phase, Kierken Elf (Shattered) and ‘Kansa Burrowing Dragon’ in its larval phase.”
“Among them, ‘Laughingstock,’ ‘Guile’s Hangman,’ ‘Submerger,’ ‘Guthwulf Hunting Hound,’ ‘Kmeta’ are known to me because of the teacher’s notes.”
“Kansa Burrowing Dragon is because of the old knight’s servant’s explanation.”
“However, I do not know about ‘Touch of Svaognir,’ ‘Harken,’ ‘Kierken’ Elf.”
“‘Touch of Svaognir’ is special, so I’ll put it aside for now.”
“If I know the detailed information of the ‘Harken’ and ‘Kierken’ monsters, I’ll have a total of eight types.”
“That is to say, if I… hunt two more monsters, I can meet the ‘advancement’ conditions!”
Thinking this, Jason’s eyes lit up.
But then he frowned almost immediately.
Because while eating monsters is easy, understanding their characteristics is hard.
Unless someone explains it to him.
Or, if he obtains a set of notes similar to his teacher’s, he might be able to quickly fulfill the advancement requirements.
But this is not an easy task.
Who would selflessly tell him these things?
Jason couldn’t help shaking his head.
