Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"What exactly is it?" Anshir asked bluntly.

"quite complicated."

The chief researcher sorted out the language, "In the southern part of the ruins plain, near the desert, there is an ancient fortress, we call it the 'Old Village Ruins (Old Village Ruins)'.

It is a pity that there are not many valuable things in the ruins.

The archaeological team at that time only found some large mechanical parts with unknown uses. These things were nothing special in terms of materials and forging techniques, so the archaeological team had no choice but to give up in the end. . "

Speaking of this, the chief researcher paused for a while, glanced at Gordon, and continued: "It wasn't until the appearance of the old mountain dragon that the ruins of this ancient village came back to our sight."

Gordon, who was patiently listening to the history, raised his eyebrows, "Old Mountain Dragon? Is this ruin related to Old Mountain Dragon?"

The chief researcher shook his head lightly, "The two are not directly related, it's just that when the old mountain dragon attacked Minagarde this time, the new village in Minagarde City had not yet been completed, and the situation was relatively dangerous.

In case Micheng is breached, according to the migration route of Laoshanlong, it will continue to move southward, threatening more cities.

You know, there are no suitable defensive fortresses along the way.

Inspired by Minagard's restart of the old village, the guild also armed the ruins of the ancient village and sent a large number of hunters to garrison them to prevent the worst from happening.

Fortunately, with your efforts, the old mountain dragon was repelled, and the defense line of the ancient village ruins was naturally disbanded. "

Gordon scratched his chin.

He didn't even know about this, but it was normal to think about it. The Hunter's Guild's duty was to protect all human settlements, not just Minergard City.

Having backup plans and a second line of defense is a no-brainer.

"So? Did something happen to the ruins of the ancient village?" Anshir asked.

"Hmm." The head researcher's expression became a little weird.

"At the end of last month, at the same time as you were fighting Laoshanlong, a very strange thing happened in the ruins of the ancient village.

Outside of the fort where there shouldn't be any large monsters, a very strange monster suddenly appeared.

How should I describe it, it is a super-giant mechanical monster composed of metal and boulders. "

"Mechanical giant beast?"

Gordon frowned, he couldn't quite imagine that kind of existence.

"It must be a mechanical beast left by the super ancient civilization!" The chief engineer who was studying the blueprint poked his head out of the workshop door and called out, "I want to go and see for myself, why don't I let me go!"

The chief researcher looked at the old man helplessly, "It's too dangerous, Mr. Chief Engineer, let's wait until we find out the situation a little bit."

"Hmph!" The old man retreated into the workshop again.

The chief researcher smiled apologetically at the two hunters, and continued: "What's even more strange is that the mechanical monster only appeared for a few minutes.

But during this time, it was destroyed, swallowed a large piece of city walls and defense facilities, and then burrowed into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

The super-giant mechanical behemoth with a body size of at least sixty meters disappeared just like that. "

"Eating the city wall? More than sixty meters? Drilling into the ground and disappearing?!" Gordon felt that his three views had been demolished and reshaped over and over again.

Having just fought Laoshanlong not long ago, he knows exactly what this data is.

It looks like a mountain up close!

"And then, such a big monster didn't leave any more clues?" Anshir couldn't help asking.

"Yes."

The lead researcher sighed, "Scales, hair, bodily fluids, footprints, nothing.

Even the holes it dug when it drilled into the ground were filled with dry quicksand. "

"So, the giant mechanical beast has never been found, and the guild hasn't sent additional high-ranking hunters to investigate the situation?" Anshir continued to ask.

Before the head researcher could answer, Gordon spoke first.

He has been promoted to the top position for a long time, and he has a better understanding of the guild's way of doing things, "The guild's duty is to protect, not to explore.

Take Lanlong in Lingfeng as an example. If Lanlong hadn't risen to stir up a storm, the guild would not have sent hunters to infiltrate Lingfeng to investigate its detailed ecology.

The same is true for the giant mechanical beast. The guild executives probably judged it to be some kind of special ancient dragon-like creature.

If it causes trouble everywhere, the guild will definitely send more forces, and even organize crusades.

But if it just squats deep in the ground and pretends to be a ghost without showing its head, the guild would like it to squat for thousands of years. "

"That's right."

The chief researcher said with a wry smile: "Scholars from the Scholars Team, the Gulong Observation Bureau, and our Longli Academy generally agree after discussions.

It was because a large number of people, weapons, and equipment gathered in the ruins of the ancient village and made too much noise that the mysterious mechanical beast would passively wake up.

With the resolution of the Laoshanlong crisis and the evacuation of personnel and equipment, it naturally fell into silence again.

Based on these judgments, the guild also withdrew the hunter team responsible for the investigation. "

"So that's the case, but it's quite a reasonable judgment."

An Xier nodded his head to express his understanding, and then changed the topic suddenly, "So what's the matter with your Longli Academy? What you want us to do is not to explore the ruins of the ancient village and look for mechanical giants, right?"

Facing Anshir's straightforward question, the chief researcher actually nodded simply.

"That's right! The archaeology of ancient civilization relics is also an important research direction of our Longli Academy.

The existence of the giant mechanical beast proves that the ruins of the ancient village are not as simple as they seem, and there are still too many unknowns waiting for us to discover! "The more the chief researcher said, the more excited he became.

Although the focus of his work today is more on the administrative side, deep down, he is still a scholar who pursues the unknown.

But the way of thinking of scholars and hunters is always different.

In Anshir's eyes, it is inevitable that there is some suspicion of seeking trouble for nothing.

Noticing the strange sight of the former, the chief researcher who reacted hastily added an explanation:

"You don't have to go after the giant mechanical beast, just explore the ruins themselves, and if you don't make too much noise, you shouldn't disturb it.

If there are key discoveries, we will also issue further 'guild tasks' to the two as rewards. "

Anshir's expression twisted for a moment.

The reward for one task is another task. Which neuropathy invented the reward mechanism? !

"This is not a rigid assignment from the guild, but an archaeological research independently initiated by the Longli Academy, right?" Anshir asked, staring at the chief.

"Yes, but the guild also allows our research."

"Please allow me to refuse." Anshir interrupted the other party unceremoniously.

Gordon folded his arms and stood aside with a hey smile. Anshir was always in charge of the bargaining.

Anshir's straightforward way of refusing made the chief researcher realize the problem, "Of course, whether to accept the exploration mission for the ruins of the ancient village is entirely voluntary.

But you may have misunderstood the nature of the 'guild mission'. "

"Tell me specifically." Anshir relaxed a little.

"The so-called 'guild mission' is just a way of saying, the mission content is varied, it may be to protect the archaeological team, or it may be to crusade against some monsters approaching the ruins.

But these are not important, the key lies in the special reward settlement mechanism of the 'Guild Mission'.

The settlement rewards for this type of task are very rich, sometimes it will be precious materials, and sometimes it will be other things.

For example, in the process of archaeological excavation, the archaeological team found some weapons and equipment handed down from ancient times, which will also be settled into rewards.

Do you really not think about it? "

"To put it bluntly, it is to reward hunters with some precious things in a reasonable and compliant manner?"

"You can also understand it that way."

"How about this."

The merchant's son waved his hand with a look of "then we will suffer a little bit".

"It's over this time, send us a guild mission that can solve the dragon jade, and we will accept this exploration commission."

"ah?"

Ps.

Unexpectedly, no one guessed Jin Glitter because of Laoshanlong. This plot will be a little different from the original, but it can be understood as the change and expansion of the skeleton.

Here leads to the concept of "guild mission", this is the content of 4g

Of course, the guild missions in the game cannot be "customized rewards". This time, it's just Anshir's choice. The main rewards of the guild missions are all kinds of excavation equipment.
