Morton, the elderly bartender in the 'Night Watch House', waved to Jason and motioned to follow him.
Jason winked at Taniel, and after the latter nodded slightly, he walked around the bar and walked inside. This is the room behind the bar's wine cabinet. Enter through the small door on the side of the wine cabinet.
The small door is only less than 1.5 meters tall. You need to bend down to enter. Taking one step forward is a downward step. If no one reminds you, it is easy to miss the step.
There are five steps, and you can straighten your back after going down.
A room of about 30 square meters with a fireplace.
There is no electricity, but candles are used.
Morton put the candlestick on the table. Apart from the table, there were only four small sofas, a round coffee table, and a shelf not far away with wine, drinks, and food on it.
Wine is ordinary wine.
The food is dried food.
Jason lowered his head and glanced at the knife and chopping board on the table with the candlestick.
This appears to be a small gathering place?
Jason guessed.
Afterwards, Morton's words confirmed Jason's guess.
"This is where the boss Green Ann takes care of his acquaintances. His friends are all elderly people or guys with quirks who find it difficult to adapt to the outside world, so a semi-secret room was opened here.
"
"After all, can you imagine a guy seeing electricity and going crazy mumbling about demigods, Tesla or something like that."
"Then, I was severely beaten by my boss, and then I returned to normal."
"He's a weirdo after all."
Morton concluded, and then took a bottle of drink from the shelf.
It's sparkling water.
Added honey and blueberries.
The taste is very unique.
Then, Morton cut some cheese, took some dried fruits, and placed them on the round coffee table.
After Jason sat down, the elderly bartender asked.
"Have you seen your teacher lately?"
"No."
"When I was at Lord's, I had been searching for his whereabouts since I lost touch with my teacher."
"The information I got is that he once came to the 'Night Watch House'."
Jason shook his head and said truthfully.
"Well, I came here not long ago."
"Dan's tracking that bastard 'Shepherd,' as he calls himself."
"Then he left something for you."
As he spoke, Morton took out something similar to a note.
Proof of the Night Watch!
Jason recognized what it was at a glance.
Morton didn't show any pretense and just pushed it in front of Jason.
Jason raised his hand and picked it up.
In an instant, words appeared before my eyes
[Nighthawk advanced career information is being collected...]
【Collection completed!】
[Nightwatcher’s advanced occupation ‘Nightwatcher’ is being determined...]
【The Night Watchman's inauguration (completed)】
[Protection from Evil (Mastery) (Complete)]
[Hunt five different monsters (explosion level) (completed)]
[6 night battles (completed)]
[Possess third level ‘Night Watchman’s Certificate’ (completed)]
[Meet the conditions, yes/no spend 15 points of satiety, 1 point of excitement of food, and complete the Night Watch advancement?]
…
Looking at the text in front of him, Jason took a deep breath.
'Night watchman' is his job.
It is also the career he most wants to improve.
Originally, he thought he would have to meet his teacher ‘Dan’ whom he had never met before.
However, he didn't expect that his teacher "Dan" would actually leave him the "Night Watchman Certificate" for his promotion.
Although Jason has never met his teacher until now, there is no doubt that he is a good teacher.
From being cautious at the beginning, but following the instructions, to preparing everything in advance now, it all shows this.
Morton, who was sitting opposite, clearly guessed what Jason was thinking.
The old bartender laughed.
"We 'Night Watchers' are different from other professions. We don't have one master and multiple apprentices like a 'Pharmacist', nor do we have the rigid observance of a 'Knight', nor do we have the mutual killing of a 'Grave Keeper'."
"Every 'Night Watcher' comes from the same line, so every 'Night Watcher' treats his apprentices with great caution."
"'Dan' is no exception."
"Maybe you don't know."
"Before 'Dan' accepted you as his disciple, he came to the boss of 'Green Ann' for psychological counseling. He was worried that he would not be a good teacher."
"At that time, he was so worried that he wrote a book full of precautions for 'professor's apprentice', and then asked the boss of 'Green Ann' to supplement it three times in a row."
The old bartender told some secret and interesting things.
Jason listened quietly.
He wouldn't mind hearing more about Dan.
This helps him understand 'Dan'.
"It's a pity that 'Dan' has made so many preparations, but Jason you made his preparations go to waste. Don't worry, he is not upset, he is happy for you. Of course, he is still a little disappointed."
"The courses he planned to give you are no longer needed."
"No one thought you would grow to this point in such a short period of time."
Morton sighed.
Then, he took out another notebook.
Or the evidence of the night watchman!
"this?"
Jason was stunned.
"I just said that if you pass the test, you will naturally be rewarded. According to the reward rules, you can get a third-level Night Watchman's Certificate, but 'Dan' has already prepared it for you, so I can only
I’ll give you the fourth level.”
"Don't think this is an extraordinary reward."
"It is both a reward for the test you just passed and a reward for what you did in Lord."
When Morton said this, he sat up straight.
Said in a serious and praising tone.
"Well done, young man."
After saying that, he handed the fourth-level 'Night Watchman's Certificate' to Jason with both hands.
Jason took it with both hands.
Words immediately flowed out like a fountain
[Night watchman advanced career information is being collected...]
【Collection completed!】
[Nightwatchman’s advanced profession ‘Sleepless One’ is being determined...]
[Night watchman taking office (unfinished)]
[Protection from Evil (Expert) (Complete)]
[Hunt three different monsters (strong level) (completed)]
[9 night battles (completed)]
[Possess the fourth-level ‘Night Watchman’s Certificate’ (completed)]
[Meet the conditions, yes/no spend 20 points of satiety, 2 points of excitement of food, and complete the Night Watch advancement?]
…
Sleepless person?
The fourth-level profession of 'Night Watcher' is 'Sleepless One'.
According to the experience of the 'Gravekeeper', every profession will receive an almost cross-stage enhancement at the 'fourth level'.
It's like the [Corpse Whisperer Contract] and [Resurrection Skeleton] of the 'Corpse Whisperer' at the fourth level of 'Grave Keeper'.
What will the ‘Sleepless One’ be?
Jason guessed.
Opposite him, Morton was slightly panicked.
It won't be seen, right?
damn it!
I just said I can’t!
This kind of forced benefit will make everyone suspicious!
Although it is for the good of the other party, it may be counterproductive!
How to remedy it?
How to remedy it?
Morton coughed lightly as he thought about it.
"You deserve this."
Morton emphasized, and then paused for about a second or two before continuing: "As for the fifth level of 'Night Watcher', I don't have the fifth level Night Watchman certificate here. In fact, it's not just me. As far as I know,
You know, there is no fifth-level night watchman certificate yet."
"After all, there is a limit to the number of 'professions'."
"You know this, right?"
Morton was worried that Jason didn't know, so he asked directly.
Jason nodded.
"It's good to know."
"The 'Night Watchman' is also different from other professions, that is, the production of the 'Night Watchman's Certificate' is not like other professions. Except for accidental death, our 'Night Watchman's Certificate' is inheritance."
"inherited?"
Jason raised his head curiously.
"Well, inheritance."
"Do you know why there are only two masters and apprentices in each generation of 'Night Watch'?"
Morton asked.
When Jason shook his head, the old bartender said immediately.
"Because every generation of apprentices inherits their master's 'Night Watchman's Certificate'!"
"Using the secret method of the 'Night Watch', we can maintain the level of the 'Night Watch Certificate' to the greatest extent possible, making it easier for the successors to reach high-level 'professions'."
"Of course, your own 'Night Watchman's Certificate' will reappear somewhere, in a preliminary way, and what the 'Night Watchman' needs at this time is to find his 'successor' for each copy of the 'Night Watchman'
The evidence has its own mark on it. Although it is difficult to find it, it is not impossible."
"And 'Dan' inherited his teacher's."
"You need to inherit 'Dan' at some point in the future, or..."
"Promote yourself to level five."
Morton tells the secrets of the 'Night Watch'.
"What is needed for Level 5?"
Jason asked directly.
Morton laughed when he heard such questions.
It looked like it was indeed the case.
‘Night Watch’ follows tradition but is not bound by tradition.
The most intuitive example is that every 'Night Watcher' will retain the inheritance until the last moment of his life, but every 'Night Watcher' will not sit back and enjoy the benefits.
They will choose to struggle on their own, and then leave everything to their apprentices.
Where is the apprentice?
It is also about self-struggle and striving to improve yourself.
Try to improve as much as possible to the level of your own teacher, or even surpass your own teacher.
Then, I hope that my master will live a long life.
Own?
Find a "night watchman" who was lost by "accident" as his apprentice. While teaching him carefully, he improves himself again and leaves everything he has to his apprentice.
It’s not just one or two ‘night watchmen’ doing this.
That's what all the 'Night Watchers' do.
Morton is no exception.
Therefore, Morton 'understood' what Jason was thinking at this time.
As expected of us ‘night watchmen’!
Morton sighed and replied with a smile.
"The fifth level of 'Night Watch' is called 'Demon Hunter', and some people call it 'Demon Hunter'."
"If you want to be promoted from the fourth level to the fifth level, in addition to having at least the fourth level 'Sleepless One', you also need the master level [Protection from Evil], and then, you need to have hunted a 'ferocious' level monster alone once, and
Cracked, eliminated 3 'explosive' level weirdness and 1 'strong' level weirdness, and rescued a city that was targeted by monsters or weirdness once. This city is at least the level of 100,000 creatures."
Jason remembered Morton's story carefully.
After Morton finished speaking, Jason immediately said.
"anything else?"
"besides?"
"Gone!"
"This is difficult enough, not to mention the difficulty of improving the master level [Protection from Evil], and the difficulty of hunting 'ferocious' level monsters alone. Those weirdness cannot be underestimated. They are difficult to explain with common sense, and some can even be
Call it immortality, many outstanding 'Night Watchers' have had accidents at this stage."
"As for saving the city?"
"Monsters like that are so weird and weird that one or a few 'Night Watchers' can no longer solve them."
"What is needed is for the 'Night Watch' to form a team and complete it."
"It requires at least a 'master' to lead the team to make it possible."
Morton reminded Jason.
He didn't want the young man in front of him to have any accidents because of his carelessness.
If something really happened, let alone the other party's teachers and the three 'masters' who were optimistic about this young man, he himself would not forgive himself.
Therefore, Morton did not notice the strange color flashing in Jason's eyes.
When Morton looked at Jason again, Jason had returned to normal.
"Grandmaster?"
Jason was very interested in this title.
"That's the honorific title for the sixth level of 'Night Watcher'."
"Most of them have retired and are living a life without competing with the world, or living a life that interests them."
"Except for occasionally paying attention to his disciples, he will only appear in front of people when a real disaster occurs."
"Even quite a few of them, one of them is already dead."
Morton said and stood up.
He pointed outside.
"I still need to greet those guys."
"Jason, is there anything else you need to know?"
Morton said.
In order to divert Jason's attention and cover up, he had said enough.
If I continue talking, I'm afraid the secret will really be revealed.
"there is none left."
"Thanks."
Jason shook his head, picked up all the snacks on the table, put them in his pocket, drank the drink in one gulp, then stood up and walked out with Morton.
"The 'Nightwatch House' can be your place to stay."
"You will be provided with free food and accommodation here."
"Of course, we will also provide you with protection."
Morton said as he walked.
"There are no obligations, and there are no mandatory requirements."
"The 'Night Watch' has a complete economic system. Most of the retired old guys will hand over their properties to the 'Night Watch Home' to take care of them. The extra wealth generated, apart from the pension, is enough for the entire 'Night Watch House'.
The house is run.”
"Of course, we have to thank those guys who failed the test."
"Not only do they have to work for free, but their teachers also have to donate a large sum of money to the 'Night Watch Home' for their apprentices."
"So, when these teachers beat their apprentices with canes, they used extra force."
The bartender raised his voice when he said this.
Moreover, at this time, Jason and the old bartender had already walked out of the small party room.
Therefore, Sid, Alpa and others heard clearly.
These people felt inexplicable pain all over their bodies.
When their teacher whipped them, they were really merciless.
Not only is it cruel, but it is also heavy.
None of the people present could get out of bed after being whipped.
If it's less, just lie down for a day.
If there is more, lie down for a week.
Sid and Alpa are the latter.
So, at this time, after hearing what the old bartender said, they all immediately gave the old bartender their middle fingers.
"Jason, don't look at how proud this old guy is now. He was also a 'trainee' back then."
"yes!"
"Moreover, he is still a three-term 'trainee'."
Sid and Alpa begin to expose Morton's background.
The old bartender smiled and did not get angry.
He just said it calmly.
"Next month, Sid and Elpa's mission will be doubled."
The voice fell.
Sid, Alpa started wailing.
"No!"
"It will kill people!"
"Please, let us go!"
The surrounding 'trainees' were making noises one after another.
"come on!"
"We are optimistic about you!"
"Yes, if you can't finish it and the 'trainee' time is extended, we will come back to see you!"
lively.
Even noisy.
However, Jason was rare and did not hate such an environment. He sat next to Taniel and looked at everything with a smile.
The old bartender tapped the glass again mysteriously.
Ding!
"The welcome ceremony is not over yet, the most exciting part has just begun. Next, we are going to..."
In the crisp sound, the old bartender lengthened his tone, and everyone except Jason and Tanier shouted in cooperation.
