as big as a wild boar, with immense strength, and she had birthed a large litter of pups, which \"Dog King\" Cole let roam in the dog-fighting farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those five hyenas were all offspring of the Hyena Queen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After raiding their loot, Rein pondered as he walked towards home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to reach the front door, he saw Anna and little Bo He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both seemed to be anxiously explaining something to a few Night Watchmen, frequently pointing towards the forest, with expressions close to tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Rein took a closer look and recognized these three Night Watchmen; they were Captain Weilun and the two elite members of the Night Watch he had stayed with previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was naturally quite familiar with them, after all, they had fought against vicious Worgs together and slaughtered murlocs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why have they come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that Anna called for them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Rein quickly stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Rein return, Anna and little Bo He immediately rushed over excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, Sister Anna and I were so worried about you!\" little Bo He plunged straight into Rein's arms, holding him tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Anna was going to the administrative hall to call for the guardian officer, but halfway there we ran into Uncle Weilun and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein's heart warmed, and turning his head, he saw Anna looking at him with concern; her face was pale, and her chest was heaving, clearly from running with her frail body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Rein look at her, their eyes met, and Anna shyly lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Weilun stepped forward and said to Anna and little Bo He, \"You two worry too much! I told you nothing would happen to Rein, but you didn't believe me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you believe it, huh! Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rein, what's the situation? Was it a few scumbags from the Hyena gang?\" Weilun turned and asked Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, four or five Hyena gang lackeys came here with their hyenas, they were investigating the disappearance of Blackbeard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter!\" Weilun glanced at little Bo He without saying much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein immediately understood and patted Little Bo He's head, saying, \"Bo He, you go home with Sister Anna first. Big brother and Captain Weilun have something to discuss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo He blinked her large eyes, glanced at Rein and Weilun, then turned to take Anna's fair hand of her own accord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, big brother, make sure you come back early, okay? We'll wait for you to have dinner together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein smiled and nodded, saying, \"Go on, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the two of them enter the house, Rein's expression became solemn before he spoke to Weilun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Weilun, there are the bodies of some of the Hyena Gang members I killed in the forest. I might need your help dealing with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement immediately caused the other two elite Night Watchmen to change their expressions and cast sidelong glances at Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weilun's face hardened. \"You killed them all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't spared even a single dog!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll take care of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However... once the Hyena Gang finds out, they're likely to target you like mad dogs! Rein, be careful on your own. I'll strengthen the nighttime patrols around your house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Captain Weilun. I'll be careful,\" Rein said with a warmth in his heart as he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weilun patted Rein's shoulder and quickly led his two subordinates in the direction Rein had indicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered his house, Rein could sense something odd about the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard his mother ask, \"Rein, I heard from Sima that a group of people with hyenas were loitering at our doorstep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But when I just asked Anna and Bo He, both of them said they were in the yard planting vegetables and hadn't noticed,\" his mother Emma continued with a hint of suspicion as she looked once more at the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein immediately had a clear understanding in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Anna harbored the same thoughts as him, not wanting to overly worry their parents about the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, Aunt Sima must have seen wrong, as I didn't see anyone with hyenas when I came back either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Sima really is getting old; her eyesight is going!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Rein say the same, Mother Emma finally relaxed and stopped probing into the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Rein went back to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But shortly after, there was a knock at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Anna knocking, and little Bo He was also peeking around the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on in, both of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the two women were inside, Rein closed the door and said in a low voice, \"Don't worry about the Hyena Gang, I'll handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, Anna, thank you for not telling my parents about this. Otherwise, it would have just caused them unnecessary worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no! It should be me thanking you, Rein... you've helped me once again!\" Anna said, lowering her head with interlocked fingers, nervously twisting the hem of her long waist-clinching dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Bo He giggled and said to Anna, \"Sister Anna, if you pull any more, the dress will tear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\" Anna immediately let go of her hands, but realizing Bo He was teasing her, a blush couldn't help but spread across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Anna and Bo He had left, Rein remembered to check the system notifications:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your skill Giant Bear Sword Technique has been improved, Experience +67]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have been through a battle, Night Watchman Professional Experience Points +34]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The experience points were not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was expected, after all, a few gang members were involved, and their contribution to the experience points probably largely came from those few hyenas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein glanced at the remaining 1 Skill Point he had and, after a moment of thought, decided to continue to allocate it to the Blacksmith's Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was about to go do a job, naturally, he had to invest points in a skill that could \"Decisive Hammer\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Blacksmith's Strength was upgraded from lv3 to lv4, the text suddenly distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1430,"2026-06-05T17:04:00.912Z",1,"novelbin.me","99edd234e1c7bf52069756b4de75e23f3dcb1d77b99c431e32962d7c8201b398","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-165","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-66",1660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-cover.jpg"]
