A foreigner's journey

"what are you talking about?"

Heather looked at Ershan strangely: "This is my hard-earned hard-earned money, Xiaoba can testify. Xiaoba?"

A cat head emerged from the water of the hot spring: "Meow! Master and I have worked hard to earn the money, meow!"

After that, Hachi continued to compete with Sasaki on their diving skills. I don’t know how they managed to dive for two minutes in such hot water.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood..." Yilshan stuck out her tongue: "Tell me, what kind of job is so profitable? I want to join it. Let me tell you, Heather, you don't even know the outcome. How expensive are the weapons and armors in Yuncun!"

Seeing that Elshan was about to enter the chattering mode again, Heather quickly shouted to stop: "I said, I said, it's [Cat Car]."

"Cat car? Where did you get the cat car?" Ershan narrowed her big eyes suspiciously.

Heather poured a glass of sake and took a sip, then whispered into Ershan's ear: "Don't tell others, I secretly went to the stream area today to cut down some cloud trees and make a cat cart."

"you!"

Irshan became anxious when she heard this. She patted Heather's bare shoulders with two small hands. Red marks immediately appeared on the latter's shoulders visible to the naked eye: "Jieyun Village has issued a decree prohibiting the casual cutting of jellywood trees." ! Violators may be fined in minor cases or detained in serious cases and handed over directly to Wang Lijun. You, you, you, you are going to piss me off, bad AIBO!"

Hearing Ilshan's furious voice and trying to keep it down, Heather grinned, rubbed her shoulders and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, although the materials used to make the car are a bit shady, the remuneration is fair and square."

Heather then told Elshan about her glorious deeds of bravely fighting the Wild Boar King and rescuing the hunter Luther. Xiaoba, who had nothing to do, continued to exaggerate the dangers in the process, which shocked the little girl. At first glance, I forgot to pursue the matter of Heather secretly chopping the cloud wood.

"8400Z... It's really profitable. I saved less than 1000Z after going from Dongdoruma to Jieyun Village for so long."

Elshan was full of envy when she heard this, but she did not agree to Heather's recruitment: "Sorry, I still want to continue to be a monster hunter. Ah, it's not that I look down on the cat car driver, but I really am not that material. . Growing up, I have always wanted to be the strongest monster hunter and have been working hard towards this goal. I can’t do anything except being a monster hunter, really. Sorry AIBO!”

With that said, Irshan clasped her hands and solemnly apologized to Heather. In her opinion, Heather was so powerful that he was willing to recruit her to work as a cat car driver to make a lot of money. He really regarded her as a friend. This made Elshan, who had not had any friends since she was a child, very happy and touched.

Don't apologize so seriously, it makes me feel embarrassed. Heather scratched her cheek and felt a little embarrassed: "You're out of touch now. Well, tomorrow I will also buy a weapon and take the instructor assessment. After passing it, we will form a team to pick up those more challenging ones." Mission. A...AIBO?"

Elshan's eyes lit up and she excitedly rushed over to hug Heather, splashing a lot of water in the hot spring: "AIBO!"

"Idiot! Let go!" Heather was so anxious that her face turned red, but for a while she couldn't break away from Ershan's strange bear hug. Is this guy really not an ancient dragon cub?

Good-natured laughter and whistles kept coming from the aisle outside the hot spring fence.

Xiao Hachi secretly took Heather's set meal tray aside, and he and Sasaki were chewing peanuts while watching the owners fight.

"Tachi? AIBO, are you sure?"

The next day, Ershan insisted on going to the weapons store with Heather to help him purchase weapons. Maybe for her, this was equivalent to visiting a famous brand clothing store, right?

But she didn't expect that Heather would also choose Tai Dao.

"Is it weird? I'm quite proficient in using [swords]. Well, I need to get used to a [tachi] of this size."

Heather held up a huge sword that was over two meters long, looked around, and then asked: "Boss, is this made of cloud wood?"

"Correct customer, the tachi made from the finest Yuzumo wood is not only sharp but also extremely tough. This is a special tachi sold only in Yuzumo Village." The boss said with a smile: "What you are holding in your hand is One of the most exquisitely crafted swords."

"Well, I want it. How much does it cost?"

"Shenghui 1500Z."

"Wow, it's so expensive!" Before Heather could speak, Elshan shouted in surprise. This was already more than her entire net worth.

Heather, who had just received a windfall, didn't care: "I also want to order a [Jieyun Suit]."

"If you want a complete set, your corresponding body data will need to be measured. You can pick it up in two days. Shenghui 1000Z."

Ershan no longer dared to listen, it was so scary, the prices in Jieyun Village were so scary!

Heather paid the deposit without saying a word and asked the boss to measure and record her body data. Then she walked out of the weapons store with the sword and Ershan. The latter was still pale.

Walking along the broad road in the village towards the training center, Heather put the tachi into the scabbard on her back and said to Ershan:

"Ilshan, work hard to accumulate materials. We must not only master melee weapons, but also learn to use long-range weapons."

"Huh? Why?" Ershan asked strangely.

"Some monsters are better suited to be defeated with ranged weapons rather than melee weapons."

What Heather said was based on experience (game): "I'm going to use [Heavy Crossbow] as an alternative, what about you?"

Ershan tilted her head and thought for a while: "Well...if I have to choose a long-range weapon, I would prefer a [bow]. But AIBO, are you sure you want to choose another weapon? I didn't choose a long-range weapon at the beginning. It’s just because ammunition is too expensive.”

"What are you afraid of? I am a part-time cat truck driver. I can earn back a year's worth of ammunition by doing two missions. Don't worry, your share of the ammunition fee is also under my control." Heather's tone was filled with wealth and wealth. The arrogance.

"Really?" Yilshan suddenly became happy. She didn't want to be polite to Heather now. It was AIBO after all.

The two of them walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the entrance of the training center.

"Come on AIBO, I'll wait for you at the door."

"I won't keep you waiting long."

After bidding farewell to Ershan for the time being, Heather opened the door of the training center, only to find that it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see anything.

After taking two steps forward, the door behind him closed automatically with a bang, the only light disappeared, and the surroundings fell into absolute darkness.

But Heather was not impatient at all. After opening the [Circle], he sensed a lifeform not far in front of him. He was probably planning some dramatic appearance.

laugh!

Sure enough, the surrounding torches suddenly lit up, and a tall, middle-aged man with a mustache stood on the box with his arms folded in front of his chest, looking enigmatic:

"Oh oh oh! Here comes another newcomer who wants to embark on the path of hunting (Heather: I'm just here to get the hunter qualification). I can feel the confusion and fear in your heart (Heather: No, not at all. Oh), it doesn’t matter, just put your heart in your pelvis (Heather: Guo Degang?), instructor, I will thoroughly teach you how to use the weapons in your hands, and you will be the future hunting star (Heather: Isn’t it the Blue Star? )!"

After saying that, Heather's complaint also ended, and the scene fell into awkward silence for a while.

The instructor with the mustache held his hand to his mouth and coughed: "Well, it turns out you want to obtain the hunting qualification. Boy, is this not easy?"

"Just use the weapon to pass the trial, right?" Heather touched the handle of the knife behind her left shoulder: "Do I want to have a fight with you?"

"Of course you don't want to fight me. You want to be a monster hunter, but you don't want to be a guild knight (Note 1)."

The instructor shook his finger: "To become a qualified hunter, you must have a flexible mind and rich knowledge, as well as athletic ability and strength beyond ordinary people."

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the door on the other side of the house:

"follow me."

After pushing open the door and walking a short distance along the mountain road, what came into view was a circular arena built on the mountain, the kind without an audience seat.

In the center of the field, there were three dog dragons wandering loosely.

"What you have to do is to enter the arena and survive the attacks of the three dragons for three minutes, or defeat them." The instructor raised his eyebrows at Heather: "It's very simple, right? Don't think about escaping, the arena It's so big, you can't outrun those dragons. Remember, use your weapons wisely and don't be greedy for swords."

Heather nodded, took a few steps forward and was about to jump but stopped.

The instructor thought that Heather regretted it and said loudly: "It doesn't matter. If you are not ready, you can still come later. Caution is a virtue."

"I just wanted to ask."

Heather pulled out the huge sword behind her and smiled slightly: "If I kill these dragons, you won't make me lose money, right?"

The instructor shook his head dumbfounded: "Don't worry, I won't let you pay. I said don't underestimate these dogs and dragons. Many young people in the village who want to be hunters are beaten to the ground by them. Those with outstanding strength like Luther The young man also relied on his amazing foot strength to run in the arena for three minutes, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Heather jumping out of the arena with a knife.

Tsk, young man... The instructor walked to the edge of the arena and stroked the handles of the two swords behind his waist, ready to jump off the field for rescue at any time.

Heather landed lightly and looked at the alarmed dog dragon that was gradually surrounding him. He gently shook the sword in his hand, and the blade reflected a cold light.

Just in time, try using them to see if you can use [Denglong].

Note 1: [Guild Knights] is a special response organization set up by the Hunter Guild to deal with poachers. They are hunters who hunt [Hunters] and will use assassination to eliminate those hunters who wantonly poach and affect the ecological balance. They will uniformly use the [Xunlong] suit, which is convenient for stealth operations, as their standard equipment.

PS: That move is actually not called ‘Dragon Climbing’, but ‘Air Blade Cutting’, which is considered the signature skill of Taitoman.
