The difference in strength is just too great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Hamilton slowly continued speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be nervous, young man. I'll handle that drunkard Jack for you. I'll make sure he spends a good while in the solitary cell, and afterward, I won't let him trouble you again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Solitary cell? Are... Are you the newly appointed sheriff?\" Rein was stunned at first, but then immediately realized and blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Rein carefully sized up the other man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was tall and imposing, wearing a male noble's hunting outfit that fit perfectly, with a longsword at his waist, he indeed looked more like a noble than a bandit or a bounty hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slightly eased Rein's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clever young man, I am indeed the new sheriff of Flashgold Town, Hamilton,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the astonishment on Rein's face, Hamilton couldn't help but show a trace of a smile on his serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he wanted to scare Rein, but Rein's quick reactions were somewhat unexpected, leaving him no chance to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were...\" Rein clearly detected the goodwill in the other man's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, there's nothing wrong with what you did to that drunkard Jack; after all, he attacked you first and you were merely defending yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just swung a weapon at an Imperial Baron and the sheriff of Flashgold Town, what do you think I should do to punish you?\" Hamilton said, slightly teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! This...\" Rein was dumbfounded, the sheriff before him had changed his tone so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, considering your youth, I can forgive you this time, but you need to do something for me,\" Hamilton seemed not to want to stress Rein further and quickly changed his tone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it? I won't do anything illegal or disorderly!\" Rein immediately became alert and shot a glance at Hamilton, realizing that he had been waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hamilton was left speechless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illegal or disorderly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sheriff of a town in the Empire, would I ask a child to do something illegal or disorderly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after thinking it over, he decided to reveal a bit of information to Rein, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't tell you the details right now, but... you should know about the child disappearances that have been happening from time to time. I'm closely monitoring this issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Rein sighed in relief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was about that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in his past life, he had a deep disdain for human traffickers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, since Sheriff Hamilton had caught him in a bind, if it was just about him cooperating on the child disappearance cases, he could agree to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, even if he didn't want to agree, the situation compelled him to!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although... do all sheriffs nowadays have such a sense of responsibility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Rein didn't dislike the man in front of him so much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am still a child!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of strength, I'm barely stronger than an ordinary militiaman; what could I possibly help him with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein immediately realized that something might be amiss here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he just refuse outright?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won't work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They've got something on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, just play along for now, and agree first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like I need to enhance my strength after all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay! However... Sir, my abilities are limited, I'm still a child, and I can't help much,\" Rein spread his hands, his expression showing no fear of boiling water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This couldn't help but make Hamilton laugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he thought, \"Still a child? With your disposition, swordsmanship, and speed, I'm afraid most of the militia aren't a match for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, it won't exceed your capabilities,\" Hamilton said, smiling and shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... respected Sheriff Sir, may I go home now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Hamilton finished speaking, Rein ran off like a startled rabbit, without looking back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Hamilton shake his head helplessly again. Such a shrewd little guy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However... handling this case, indeed requires someone like Rein... it might just have surprising effects!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein ran all the way to near his house before he slowed down, his chest heaving greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff~ Huff~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his mood was both excited and scared, along with a bit of regret and disappointment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything about tonight's incident was under control!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, unfortunately, I ran into the new Sheriff, Hamilton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength is too great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein thought about it, skill-wise Humbert, the servant swordsman, probably isn't his opponent; it seems only the noble young men's instructor, Lord Perez, could possibly fight him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he doesn't seem to be a particularly harsh person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I might have been in trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, what exactly does he want me to help with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, thinking about how even after continuously boosting my agility and Militiaman Swordsmanship, I'm still no match for Hamilton, not even forcing out his true strength, it's indeed a bit disheartening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap in strength is just too great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still need to think of a way to enhance my strength quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... today's events, which were almost like actual combat, greatly benefited Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused his attention on the system, and the notification was as follows:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have undergone a battle, Militiaman Professional Experience Points +23]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your skill \"Basic Swordsmanship\" has been enhanced, Experience Points +11]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have undergone a battle, Militiaman Professional Experience Points +8]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that Rein slightly regretted was that he didn't manage to grab Drunkard Jack's waist pouch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the money inside would have been enough to buy some treats to reward himself and his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a tad disappointed, Rein quickly returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother!
