Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 91 Sudden decision

   "Hayatta, do you want to go hunting with me?"

   After hesitating for a moment, Gordon took the initiative to send out an invitation, "We can take on some one-star missions to collect herbivorous dragon meat, and it just so happens that I also need to store some materials such as dragon bones."

  He found a barely passable reason.

  Gordon knew that Hayatta, who was not yet an official hunter, could not accept the mission alone. Before Amos returned, she could only stay in the city wasting time.

  As a friend of the former, and having received many teachings and support from Amos, Gordon is willing to waste some time for her, and accompany her on a few crusades, collecting missions, and accumulating some practical experience.

   "Thank you, Brother Gordon." Hayata smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, during this time I will act with the trainee hunters in the training camp of the assembly center.

  I have wasted too much time of Teacher Amos, and I can't always think about relying on others. "

  Gordon wanted to say something more, but he noticed the stubbornness in Hayata's eyes, and he could only sigh, "Actually, you don't have to think about it so much. If you need it, just rely on us friends."

  The pork chop also rubbed Hayata's palm with its furry head.

   "Okay." Hayata's smile became brighter, "The training camp will start soon, so I'll take my leave first."

   "Come on." Gordon waved his hand.

  The boss of the workshop also laughed proudly, "Ha, with the strength of Little Hariyata, I will definitely crush those bastards, no problem!"

Watching Hayata push the door away, Gordon scratched his head and said to himself: "What a proud guy, obviously, if you just ask me, no matter if it's me or Oshura Miles, they will be happy to help Yes."

   "It's also good to have an independent personality."

  The owner of the workshop filled his mouth with tobacco again, and teasingly poked Gordon with his elbow, "Also, you are very good at it, young man, 'please rely on me as much as you can', hahahaha"

  Gordon glanced at the boss helplessly, ignoring the older and more cocky guy.

"Okay, no kidding, Gordon, you are officially three-star now, and your weapons and armor are pretty good among hunters of the same level. If you want to go further in terms of equipment, you can consider using a protective stone. "

   Seeing that the ridicule was not successful, the owner of the workshop continued to "show off" his experience.

   "Stone guard?" Gordon suddenly regained his spirits.

  He knew something about this kind of thing, but not in detail. The instructor had told him some things when he was still in Kokot Village.

  The so-called protective stone is something similar to a pendant, which has magical powers and can provide the wearer with certain special abilities.

  For example, the wind pressure is invalid, the strength (attack power) is increased, the physical energy consumption is reduced, and so on.

  If used in conjunction with armor with special effects, the effects will superimpose and affect each other, which can greatly improve the hunter's ability.

   "Old man, can you be a stone guard?" Gordon continued to ask excitedly.

  The boss of the workshop leaned against the counter, and said slowly: "I don't know how to do it. Artificially manufacturing the protective stone belongs to the category of alchemy. You have to go to the alchemy mother-in-law. She is the only one in the entire Minergard city.

  But I don’t recommend you to go to her. The materials needed for alchemy are rare and special, and the effect of the final product is almost uncontrollable. The probability of refining something good is like winning a lottery. You can’t afford it now. "

   "This, that's it." Gordon was a little discouraged. He had never had much confidence in his own luck. "Is there no other way to get it?"

   "Yes, to the old volcano."

"ah?"

  "It is the Latio Volcano in the Elder area. There are many relics of ancient civilizations hidden under the solidified volcanic rock. If you are lucky, you can dig out the original stone of the guard stone. After the identification and polishing of professionals, you can get the guard stone.

  The effects of stone protection are various, and it is very difficult to apply them directly.

   But don’t worry, there is a village called Naguli Village near the volcano, where hunters who go to the volcano to dig rock protection stay there all year round.

  You can try to exchange or buy with others. If you are patient, you can always find your favorite guard stone. "

   What the boss of the workshop said made Gordon startled, especially the last half of the sentence, which made him fall into deep thought.

  Before, he always avoided this question subconsciously, but it has been almost a year since he left Cocot Village and came to Minagard City.

  For him, who is not planning to settle here, but just takes it as the first stop of his journey, a year has been a bit longer than expected.

  The reason why he has been reluctant to leave, on the one hand, is because he is reluctant to part with those few friends he can talk to, and on the other hand, he wants to concentrate on improving his own strength.

   Now, I have changed into the giant scissors and the big monster bird suit, and the hunter level has also been raised to three stars, and my strength has improved by at least two grades compared to when I first left Kokot Village.

   Maybe it’s time to step out of the comfort zone and continue your journey.

  Thinking of this, Gordon suddenly squatted down so that his eyes were at the same level as the pork chop, "Pig chop, do you think we should leave?"

"Meow?"

   Pork Chop didn’t understand what Gordon meant at first, but when it noticed the reluctance on Gordon’s face and the trace of expectation that couldn’t be hidden in his eyes, it understood.

   Wiping his beard, Pig Chop said in a serious tone that was completely different from usual: "Although I miss you all, I don't want this to be the end of the journey either.

  As long as Gordon thinks, he will follow meow wherever he goes! "

  The news that Gordon was about to leave did not cause any commotion in Minagarde's assembly hall.

  As the most dangerous profession in the world, there is no one. Hunters are a group of guys who only seize the day and night.

  When the disability and death of partners around them has become commonplace, do you expect them to show much sadness about a friend's travel?

   It's not dead! What's the point of being hypocritical?

   Having said that, although everyone will not bid farewell crying, it is still necessary to get together and have a good meal. If there is no chance to meet again, this meal will be a good ending.

  Late at night, at the long table in the tavern of the meeting place, a group of people fell down.

  Hayata, Ohshura, Ted, Maxine, and even Tij, who came to join in the fun after get off work early, were all there.

  Only he could drink well, Gordon, who was still not completely drunk, felt a figure walking beside him in a daze.

   Raising his head in a daze, Gordon, who saw the comer, was suddenly in a cold sweat, and most of the drunkenness was scared away.

   "Yes, Mr. President."

  During the time when the Minagarde Assembly Hall was his base, this majestic lady with a long and hard-to-remember name left a deep impression on him.

  He inexplicably felt like a child who was caught by his parents for stealing a drink, and he was extremely flustered.

  The tall lady president put her palm on Gordon's shoulder, indicating that the latter does not need to stand up.

   "You put away this letter of introduction." The president took out an exquisite scroll and placed it on the table in front of Gordon.

  The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, which softened her slightly cold face a lot, "Maybe it will make your future journey more convenient."

   "Thank you, thank you, President!" Gordon stammered.

  The president smiled, and his long and elegant tone gave people a feeling like singing poetry: "If you have a chance, remember to come back and take a look.

  Minagarde Hunter Gathering House, you are always welcome back. "
