Morton sat up straight as he said this.
In a tone that was both serious and admiring, he said,
"Well done, young man.”
Having said that, he handed over the fourth-tier ‘Night Watcher’s Token’ to Jason.
Jason received it with both hands.
The words imdiately gushed like a spring—
[Collecting advanced profession information for the Night Watcher…]
[Collection complete!]
[Determining advanced profession ‘Sleepless One’ for the Night Watcher…]
[Night Watcher profession (incomplete)]
[Protection Against Evil (Expert) (complete)]
[Hunting three different monsters (Strong level) (complete)]
[9 night battles (complete)]
[Possess fourth-tier ‘Night Watcher’s Token’ (complete)]
[Conditions t, spend 20 points of satiety and 2 points of Excitent of Feast to complete the Night Watcher’s advancent? Yes/No]
…
Sleepless One?
The fourth-tier profession of the ‘Night Watcher’ is ‘Sleepless One’.
According to the experience of the ‘Tomb Guardian’, each profession experiences what is almost a cross-stage enhancent at the ‘fourth tier’.
Just like the [Corpse-speaking Contract] and [Resurrection Skeleton] of the ‘Corpse-speaker’ at the fourth tier.
So what would the ‘Sleepless One’ be?
Jason speculated.
Across from him, Morton’s heart began to panic slightly.
Wouldn’t it be found out?
Damn it!
I knew I couldn’t do it!
Anyone would get suspicious if benefits are forced upon them like this!
Even if it’s for the other person’s good, it might backfire!
How should I redy this?
How should I redy this?
As Morton thought, he cleared his throat softly.
"These are all what you’ve earned.”
Morton emphasized, then paused for about one or two seconds before continuing, “As for the fifth tier of the ‘Night Watcher’, I don’t have a fifth-tier Night Watcher’s Token — in fact, it’s not just , as far as I know, there isn’t a fifth-tier Night Watcher’s Token right now.” ŕа𝐍𝔬ꞖĘṦ
"After all, there’s the limitation of ‘profession’ numbers.”
"You know about this, right?”
Morton was worried Jason didn’t know, so he asked directly.
Jason nodded.
"Good that you know.”
"There’s another point where the ‘Night Watcher’ differs from other professions, which is concerning the making of the ‘Night Watcher’s Token’—unlike other professions, aside from accidental death, our ‘Night Watcher’s Token’ is inheritance.”
"Inheritance?”
Jason looked up curiously.
"Yes, inheritance.”
"Do you know why each generation of ‘Night Watcher’ only consists of master and apprentice?”
Morton asked.
When Jason shook his head, the old bartender imdiately said,
"Because each apprentice of a generation inherits their master’s ‘Night Watcher’s Token’!”
"Using the secret technique of the ‘Night Watcher’, it keeps the level of the ‘Night Watcher’s Token’ as high as possible, making it easier for the inheritor to reach a high-tier ‘profession’.
"Of course, one’s own ‘Night Watcher’s Token’ will reappear sowhere else, in a beginner form, and at this ti, the ‘Night Watcher’ needs to find their own ‘successor’—each ‘Night Watcher’s Token’ has its own mark, and though it’s difficult to search, it’s not impossible.
"And ‘Dan’ inherited his teacher’s token.”
"In the future, you will need to inherit ‘Dan’, or…”
"Advance to the fifth tier yourself.”
Morton shared the secrets of the ‘Night Watcher’.
"What does the fifth tier require?”
Jason asked directly.
Hearing such a question, Morton smiled.
As if to say, of course.
The ‘Night Watcher’ follows tradition yet is not bound by tradition.
The most straightforward example is that each ‘Night Watcher’ retains the inheritance at the last mont of life, but no ‘Night Watcher’ rests on their laurels.
They choose to strive by themselves, then leave everything to their apprentices.
And the apprentices?
They also strive by themselves, working hard to improve themselves.
Trying their best to reach or even surpass the level of their masters.
Then, they wish their master a long life.
And themselves?
Find an ‘accidentally’ lost ‘Night Watcher’ to take as an apprentice, while carefully instructing them, once again advancing themselves, leaving everything to their apprentice.
It’s not just one or two ‘Night Watchers’ who do this.
All ‘Night Watchers’ do this.
Morton is no exception.
So, Morton ‘clearly understands’ what Jason is thinking right now.
No wonder he’s one of us ‘Night Watchers’!
With such admiration, Morton smiled and answered,
"The fifth tier of the ‘Night Watcher’ is called ‘Demon Hunter’, and so call it ‘Demon Slayer’.
"To advance from the fourth to the fifth tier, aside from needing to have held the fourth-tier ‘Sleepless One’ profession at least, you also need master-level [Protection Against Evil], then have hunted a ‘Fierce’ level monster solo, and solved or eliminated 3 ‘Explosive’ level bizarre occurrences and 1 ‘Strong’ level bizarre occurrence, and accomplished a salvation—a salvation of a city targeted by monsters, bizarre, or weird, with the city having a population of at least one hundred thousand.”
Jason carefully morized Morton’s account.
After Morton finished speaking, Jason imdiately asked,
"What else?”
"What else?”
"Nothing more!”
"It’s already difficult enough, not to ntion the difficult upgrade of master-level [Protection Against Evil], the difficulty of solo hunting a ‘Fierce’ level monster, and those bizarre occurrences are not trivial; they are hard to explain with common sense, so can even be terd immortal and indestructible, and many excellent ‘Night Watchers’ have had accidents at this stage.”
"As for saving a city?”
"Those kinds of monsters, bizarre, and weird are already beyond what one or several ‘Night Watchers’ can handle.”
"A team of ‘Night Watchers’ is needed to accomplish it.”
"At least one ‘Master’ leading the team to possibly complete it.”
