Chapter 1617: Chapter 1617

The four sisters, led by Ailin, just rolled their eyes.

However, if you look closely, you'll notice their lips curling upwards slightly.

Watching these 'apprentices' prepare for battle, Morton and the four sisters felt a sense of comfort deep in their hearts.

Perhaps these 'apprentices' are impulsive.

But they're honest and kind.

They inherit their mentor's 'belief'.

They can now truly be called 'Night Watchers'.

That alone is enough.

That's naturally left to them, the elders.

When the young eagles cannot truly spread their wings, the wings of us old folks naturally shield these young people from the wind and rain!

Morton aimed a smack at the back of Sid and Elpa's heads, each receiving one blow.

The sharp sound startled the battle-prepared 'apprentices'.

Sid and Elpa staggered from the hit, seeing stars, and it took them a second or two to come back to their senses. The two young men turned their heads, looking at Morton with pained expressions.

"What are you looking at?"

"Do you think it's your turn to charge into battle?"

The old bartender scolded loudly and then, pointing at Elpa, said, "Impetuous! You just get hotheaded! When facing such situations, you must remain even calmer than usual! Otherwise, you'll remain an 'apprentice' for another year!"

Hearing the old bartender chastise Elpa, Sid instinctively wanted to laugh.

Seeing a friend in trouble and feeling schadenfreude was something the two of them were all too familiar with.

So familiar, it became instinctual.

At the same time, Sid also drew the attention of the old bartender.

"You think you're outstanding?"

"Hiding so many weapons in the 'Night Watcher's Home', impressive?"

"Wow, even a repeating rifle!"

"Isn't this a secret weapon open only by the Sewock royal family?"

"It seems a few months ago, this batch of weapons mysteriously went missing! My dear Sid, how did you acquire these top-grade weapons?"

"Do you need me to telegraph 'Old Delin' and report your recent behavior?"

Morton's voice got angrier and angrier, and finally, he couldn't help but hit Sid again.

When the Sewock royal family had a batch of advanced weapons stolen, he had laughed it off as a joke.

Little did he know it was the work of his own store's 'apprentices'.

Fortunately, he discovered it now.

Otherwise, it would have caused a major incident.

Just like his friend Elpa, upon hearing his teacher's name, Sid was immediately intimidated.

"What if I said I found these weapons by the roadside, would you believe me?"

Sid asked tentatively.

"Do you think Old Delin will believe that?"

Morton retorted irritably.

Sid immediately forced a laugh.

These weapons were obtained through a carefully planned half-year effort; if it weren't for the sudden turn of events, he wouldn't have used this batch of equipment.

"Alright, we'll deal with your situation later."

"For now, everyone go back to your rooms—I told you this so you can stay alert and understand the importance of 'family'!"

"Despite some flaws, your response… was very good."

Morton's rare compliment made the 'apprentices' smile brightly.

Then, the old bartender began to tidy up his things.

He wasn't dead yet, no way would he let the young charge into battle!

His teacher 'Dan' is a friend of his.

Naturally, Jason is his junior.

He feels he must protect him.

Of course, that's just Morton's own thought.

So, just as Morton was about to walk out of the 'Night Watcher's Home'—

Jason walked down from the stairs.

He smiled as he swept his eyes over the 'apprentices' and the four sisters.

Then, his gaze fell on Morton's face.

"If you go out looking for them, that's exactly what they want."

"That would be better than you walking into a trap yourself!"

Morton knew exactly what Jason intended to do.

Then, he shook his head.

"I'm not exactly stepping into a trap."

"Luring the snake out of its hole!"

"You're not qualified yet!"

Morton emphasized, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

This is something where even a slight mistake could be fatal.

He absolutely does not allow his juniors to take risks lightly.

Jason didn't speak immediately; instead, he walked over to those repeating rifles. Clearly, it was his first time using such a weapon, but after a simple operation, Jason became proficient, as if he had practiced for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Morton's pupils contracted.

Having guessed something, Morton looked at Jason incredulously.

Jason smiled and nodded slightly.

"Fifth-tier 'Demon Hunter' Night Watcher, is it enough?"

"How is this possible?!"

"There's nothing impossible!"

"The 'Herculean Potion' is even more magical than imagined, and moreover..."

"Who said I've only drunk the 'Herculean Potion' once?"

After thoroughly understanding the situation with the 'Herculean Potion,' Jason had a very reasonable explanation for the situation before him.

However, such a reasonable explanation left everyone present in a daze.

They stared blankly, even though they were well aware.

They all knew what the 'Herculean Potion' was about.

Not to mention the original 'Herculean Potion,' even a refined version taken twice or thrice is extremely rare in this era.

And the original version?

It's almost impossible to exist.

Even in Sewock's royal Secret Vault, it doesn't exist!

This has been confirmed.

Yet Jason could continuously drink the 'Herculean Potion'...

"Jason, are you the favored child of fate?"

Sid couldn't help but ask.

Jason shrugged with a smile.

For those who clearly express goodwill towards him, Jason doesn't mind reciprocating with kindness.

"When I need help, I will inform everyone."

"Please let me handle it myself."

With that, Jason started to walk out.

However, after just one step, Jason paused.

"I have some assets that need Morton, your help to manage." Thıs content belongs to novel fire.net

Saying this, ignoring Taniel's face twitching with pain, he handed two checks of 1000 Gold Crooks each to Morton.

Morton accepted the two checks in a daze.

Then, he stared dumbfounded at the departing Jason and Taniel.

Although he is a fourth-tier 'Sleepless,' having experienced enough things, at this moment, Morton still feels his brain is a bit overwhelmed.

Reached in just one night?!

Elevated three tiers overnight!

From a second-tier 'Night Watcher' to a fifth-tier 'Demon Hunter'!

Morton marveled, while Sid and Elpa once again exclaimed.

Evidently, the amounts on the two checks gave a greater shock to the two 'apprentices' who relied on odd jobs for a living and had to perform well just to have a drink.

The surrounding 'apprentices,' were the same, constantly exclaiming.

The four sisters of Ailin also felt dizzy.

However, the four of them still managed to suppress their shock and walked to Morton's side.

"What do we do next?"

"Maintain the status quo."

Saying this, Morton returned to his room.

He was preparing to contact Gren An.

Using unconventional methods.

This is something that should only be used in extremely urgent situations.

In a certain sense, it was indeed an extremely urgent situation.

Jason and Taniel walked shoulder to shoulder out of the alley from the Night Watcher's Home.

Just moments ago, Taniel had an expression of heartache, but now it was mixed with concern.

A friend reaching the fifth-tier Night Watcher is something to be happy about, but a fifth-tier Night Watcher still can't stand against a nation. Even if this fifth-tier is a 'Knight' and a fourth-tier 'Tomb Guardian' too, it's the same.

All three reach sixth-tier!

Even if his friend Jason is extraordinarily talented, it still couldn't be done.

"Where are we going?"

Jason continued walking and answered—
