Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 31 Minagarde

  If Hayata learns hunting from Amos, at least she shouldn’t develop into a muscular type, right?

  With this idea in mind, Pine discussed it with his niece, but Hayata didn't object.

  It has nothing to do with courage, faith and other factors, no matter how unrestrained a girl is, she always loves beauty.

  And as a good friend of her uncle, she has also known Uncle Amos since she was a child. Compared with group training, it is obviously more appropriate to learn from such a powerful and familiar master.

  Amidst the noise all the way, the uncle and nephew came to the door of Amos' house.

   "Oh, I'm just as stubborn as your father, I won't listen to any persuasion, hunter training is very hard, if one day you find it too hard.

  I said Hayata, do you really not think about it anymore? Why don't we learn painting, how about being an artist."

  Pine, who was standing in front of the Amos residence, turned around again, rambling.

  Hayata rolled her eyes, walked over Pine, and knocked on the door.

  The straight-line distance between Minagard City and Kokot Village is not too far, only about four to five hundred kilometers.

  The Kexiulet area is a hilly area with dense mountains, and the straight-line distance and the actual distance are fundamentally two concepts.

  Gordon and Pig Chop hitched a ride with a merchant selling mountain goods to Minergard City. It took nearly ten days along the way before the tall city walls of Minergard finally appeared at the end of the horizon.

  As the distance gradually shortened, the city wall became more conspicuous, and Gordon's mouth opened wider and wider.

  The city wall with a height of more than ten meters is made of dark gray giant stones. Hundreds of years of wind and rain can't shake it, but it adds a bit of vicissitudes of life to it.

  On the wall wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side, there are many defensive facilities and watchtowers.

  As one of the most important seaside cities for human beings, Minergard City has a strong enough defense force, no matter whether the opponent is a human army or a monster.

The large bed crossbow fixed on the city wall requires at least three people to operate smoothly. With the assistance of the eccentric wheel and the winch wheel, these war weapons with composite steel as the crossbow arm can send heavy crossbow bolts with thick arms into two hundred meters altitude.

  Obviously, this terrifying weapon was not designed with humans as imaginary enemies. Their targets were monsters.

  Within the best killing range of 100 meters, even the flying dragon will be severely injured, and this is only the most basic weapon in the Minagarde city defense system.

  Whether it is a movable fort that pushes huge shells with gunpowder, or a mysterious device called "Dragon Shooter" that is hidden in the city wall and powered by a giant steam engine.

  All of this is the confidence accumulated by generations of pioneers in Minagarde so that future generations can live in the crisis-ridden Shulet area.

  Unfortunately, Gordon at this time couldn't notice so many details.

  The attention of him and Pig Chop has long been attracted by the endless stream of caravans inside and outside the huge city gate, as well as the crowds of people pushing them forward.

  Gordon dares to swear that the people he has met in his life combined are not as many as the people at the gate of Minagard City at this time.

   Finally squeezed into the city gate, Gordon kept turning his head around.

  Anyway, he is a country bumpkin who has just entered the city for the first time, so what is there to feel ashamed of? Without deliberately concealing his surprise and novelty, Gordon looked around all the way, wantonly satisfying his curiosity.

  As he gradually approached the trade circulation area where commercial activities flourished, Gordon clearly felt that there were more hunters passing by around him.

   After all, Minagarde's hunter gathering place is in the nearby area.

  For young hunters, compared to the dazzling array of goods on the stalls and the wide variety of shops on the street, it is indeed those "peers", to be precise, the equipment on them, which is more interesting.

   "Wow! Look at the pork chops! That set of red armor is so handsome! The shoulder armor is superb and flamboyant! It should be made of some kind of crustacean monster material?"

   "Aha, that set of armor looks like an iron barrel, but it seems to have a high defense!"

   "Huh? Pork chop, look at that big sister's equipment. It doesn't look like much fabric, and her belly is exposed. Doesn't she feel cold?"

  Pork Chops cautiously lowered its head, begging Gordon's impolite comments not to attract the attention of the equipment owner.

   It's also fortunate that this guy pays attention to lowering his volume, otherwise he might attract a certain "big sister who shows her belly" to scold her.

  My wife is looking for lightweight shooter equipment!

  Wandering around for a long time, until the sun began to set in the west, Gordon finally recalled that the instructor Ernest had given orders before departure.

  The first thing you should do after arriving in Minagarde is to report to the Hunter's Gathering.

  Fortunately, the Hunter's Gathering House is not difficult to find. After asking a random passer-by, he soon came to this huge building located in the center of the trade circulation area.

  Looking at the wooden salon door that had been pushed and touched by countless people, Gordon was a little excited, but also a little uneasy, and was stunned for a while.

   "What are you doing at the door, go in quickly!"

  A bold female voice with a little dissatisfaction in the tone came from behind. Gordon felt a hand pushing behind him, and subconsciously took a few steps forward and entered the gate of the assembly hall.

  Rough laughter, the bang of oak barrels hitting the table, and the loud sound of bills from the kanban girls all rushed towards him.

   It's really unprepared and hilarious.

  The strong aroma of ale, rows of long solid wood tables, waiters passing by, men and women who started drinking and bragging before it was dark.

  The first impression of the Minagarde hunter's meeting place on Gordon was more like a tavern than a place where hunters applied for quests.

"Hey, it's the new face I met for the first time, silly boy, where did you come from?" The huntress who had just pushed him at the entrance of the meeting place walked around in front of him, looking up and down curiously with him.

  Gordon noticed that this huntress in pink leather armor was the "big sister with her belly exposed" she saw on the street before.

  She looks like she is in her twenties, her skin is a healthy wheat color, and the exposed abdomen outlines extremely obvious muscle lines. The **** waves and the chest-on-hips movement give off a heroic feeling.

  Gordon, who has little experience in communicating with young women, seemed a little shy at this time. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Hello, big sister. I'm Gordon from Kokot Village."

  Hearing the words, the corners of the huntress' mouth twitched fiercely.

  The title "big sister" gives people a feeling that they are five years older than "sister" and ten years older than "miss".

   Damn upset.

   "Sister, how old are you? Are you much younger than me?" The huntress hugged her plump breasts, raised her chin, and looked provocative as if her nose wasn't her nose or her eyes.

  The pork chop shrank into a ball in fright, and Gordon was a little at a loss, and subconsciously replied: "I am seventeen this year?"

   "Hahahahahaha!"

A long-haired male hunter who was attracted by the female hunter's loud voice laughed and teased, "This little brother is almost ten years younger than you, Ursula, he didn't call you auntie." Even if it is very face-saving! Hahahaha!"
