Chapter 167: Chapter 136 Actually.......I am very interested in forging! (Two in one big chapter)_3

"The handle is made of wood?"

"Uh... yes, my lord, the handle is made of oak, which is very flexible and durable."

Rein nodded.

Clearly, there wouldn't be any suitable high-quality weapons for him in the military storeroom.

After all, the majority of the equipment there was intended for ordinary members of the Night Watchman and the peacekeeping officers.

Noticing the look of disappointment on Rein's face, Thompson carefully asked, "Deputy Officer, are you perhaps looking for a better quality weapon or armor?"

"Don't you know, at your level, the equipment that needs to be exchanged can only be viewed at the military supply office in the County Town."

"Hm? Go to the County Town?"

"Isn't there a booklet?"

Rein gestured the size of the booklet that Lord Hamilton had shown him before.

He still remembered the large characters written on the cover of the booklet: 'Imperial Law Enforcement and Defense Forces Merit Points Exchange Booklet (Junior Officers)'.

Thompson had a sudden realization!

"That's right, as a deputy law enforcement officer, even your Merit Points Exchange Booklet is different from the previous ones, it's for the level of junior officers, considered confidential, and can only be viewed with the military supply officer in the County Town," he said.

So that was it, Rein nodded his head.

Indeed, the higher the rank, the more one could exchange, and many of the items might involve some secrets.

When Rein returned home, he intended to study the Akkadian language, but just as he sat down, a Messenger arrived, stating that Lord Hamilton had requested to see him.

Soon, Rein arrived at Hamilton's office.

The moment Rein entered, Hamilton said with a smile, "Rein, the merit assessment for your last killing of three Black Flame monks and one Black Flame Apostle has come out. With your previous Merit Points, the total is 1489 points."

Hamilton himself was somewhat astonished when he first saw the number.

He had expected Rein to definitely reach 1000 Merit Points this time, but he had not anticipated it to exceed the amount by so much.

It seemed that the Black Flame Apostle alone contributed over 500 points.

"That many?" Rein couldn't help but exclaim.

"Surprising, isn't it? I was surprised too," Hamilton said.

Seeing Rein's wide-eyed and astonished expression balanced out Hamilton's feelings quite a bit.

Rein had given him quite a few shocks recently!

Now, it was time for him to surprise Rein in turn.

"Here, this is the relevant documentation for participating in the ennoblement assessment, you need to fill it out yourself," Hamilton handed him a thin document.

"Okay." Rein took it and began to read carefully.

The document consisted of two pages, with very brief content.

Actually, it was a waiver indicating that there are risks associated with the assessment and that participation should be cautious.

One could opt out anytime before the assessment task was given.

However, if one chose to withdraw after the task was set, they would have to wait five years before they could apply again. Two consecutive withdrawals would result in a lifetime ban from applying.

After quickly scanning the document, Rein immediately picked up a quill and briskly filled in his name.

"By the way, Rein, I heard you were practicing with a heavy hammer at the training ground this morning?" Hamilton took the document Rein handed over and asked casually.

"Yes, my lord."

Rein was a bit surprised; news traveled that quickly?

The morning's events had reached Hamilton's ears by the afternoon.

Hamilton frowned slightly and said, "Although the damage from a heavy hammer is astonishing, I fear it will be difficult to make any substantial progress if you don't practice for a long time."

"My advice is to focus on the Giant Bear Sword Technique, and practice the hammer after the ennoblement assessment is over."

Rein nodded, not disagreeing, knowing that Hamilton meant well.

But he had a Modifier, it was different!

"By the way, regarding the ennoblement assessment, there are two things I would remind you of," Hamilton thought for a moment before speaking again.

"The first is, if you encounter a multi-person or team task, you must be wary of some of your teammates."

"By team members, I don't mean just the nobles' children but also the commoners."

Perhaps reminded of something, Hamilton's expression turned solemn as he mentioned the last sentence.

"Of course, it would be better if you could draw a solo mission. Although it may be more difficult, the situation is relatively easier to control."

"Moreover, according to your current strength and age, as long as you can complete the task normally, the score should not be low. Securing a knighthood should be quite assured."

"As for the baron title, I think it's not necessary to force it. Everything should still put personal safety first."

"Thank you for your concern, my lord, I will pay attention," Rein said seriously, nodding at Hamilton's grave tone.

"Then you should prepare well in the coming days. According to tradition, once you submit the application, someone will contact you within a month."

"One month?" Rein pondered.

A month's time was enough for him to take his power to the next level!

Evening.

Walking in the twilight, Rein, clad in plate armor and carrying the sheepskin-wrapped Glimmering Greatsword, arrived at Habsburg Manor, a place he hadn't visited in nearly a month.

In the glow of the sunset, Habsburg Manor was like a golden building draped in a thin layer of gold, mesmerizingly beautiful.

For the first time, Rein discovered that the scenery of the manor was truly beautiful.

Possibly due to his previous state of mind, he had not appreciated it properly before.

It was like a five or six-year-old boy, held in the arms of a stunningly curvaceous woman, completely oblivious, while actually being entranced by a stick of candy, unable to look away.
