Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gale tightened the bathrobe that was almost loose and untied, and walked angrily to the hall.

Anxier followed her, his face also a little dark.

Coming to the door in the middle of the night without saying hello in advance, unless it is some unavoidable emergency, is too rude no matter how you think about it!

At this time, Ancil completely forgot that a few minutes ago he had planned to go to Gordon's house to watch the latter's expression.

Gale, who was furious, had already prepared some curse words. When he was about to open the door, he didn't care about anything else. First, he would scold this bastard who couldn't tell the time.

But Anhil stopped her and asked her to go to the back first.

When he came to the door, he noticed something was wrong.

Someone suddenly called the door in the middle of the night. The most likely possibility is that something unexpected happened suddenly, just like the time Feng Ying resonated with before.

However, if it is an emergency, the caller should keep knocking on the door and then shouting to prevent the owner of the house from falling asleep and not hearing.

Instead of knocking on the door a few times like now, nothing happens.

That is, not an emergency.

Who else would it be?

Gordon? Probably not, even if he suddenly lost his mind after hearing the good news, Hayata would stop him.

Feng Ying? That guy didn't dare.

The Star Stronghold should be very safe, but there was still a warning sign in Ancier's heart.

He picked up the stripping knife hanging on the wall and hid it behind his back. At the same time, he raised his hand to make a "warning" gesture.

Gale was startled when he saw this, frowned, walked quickly and silently to the weapon rack, picked up a light crossbow, and loaded a shotgun magazine.

This reaction may be a bit extreme, but there are still children at home. What if the person knocking on the door is a dragon?

Anhir was satisfied with his wife's vigilance. He moved closer to the door and looked out through the door.

He was fully mentally prepared. No matter whether the person standing outside the door was an acquaintance, a stranger, Elu, or even a monster, he would not be surprised.

But he saw a ball of fire.

This made his brain freeze for a moment - what happened?

Pinching the corners of his eyes, Anhil looked outside through the door again. There was still the fire. If he looked carefully, it seemed to be a lamp? Did the visitor block the door with a lamp?

No, there is something else next to it. The fire is glaring, and it is not very clear. It seems to be an exaggerated face in the style of graffiti? Like a totem sculpture?

etc.

The corner of Anhil's mouth twitched twice, and he threw the knife aside, indicating that the warning was lifted. At the same time, he turned back to Gale and said, "There is someone from your mother's family."

"?" Gale was confused.

Where did my purebred orphan come from?

Anhil opened the door with a strange expression. Outside, a fat figure with a gorgeous totem pole on his head and a brass chandelier with bright lights on it waved his fat hand to greet them.

"Gala!"

Gale was stunned for two seconds, then rushed out cheering and hugged the king of the strange-faced tribe fiercely.

"Boss! Why are you here!"

"Come and see, you and Gala, your child!" The King of the Strange Face Clan also looked very happy, jumping around, the decorations on the mask colliding with each other, making a crisp sound. .

Gale pushed the King of the Strange Face Clan through the door and asked enthusiastically: "Boss, how did you come? Did you come alone? Where are the other brothers?"

"I let them camp in the forest and wait."

Anhir looked outside the door and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the arrival of the King of Strange Faces did not cause any commotion or attract anyone's attention.

Just as he was about to close the door, he saw a ghostly figure turning out of the dark corner.

Anxil's mouth twitched again, "Miss Rania, it's so late and you're still patrolling."

If he were to rank the people he least wanted to see at this moment, the former An Ye in front of him would definitely be at the top of the list.

Rania stared at him expressionlessly, "No need to worry, this king took the initiative to contact our sentry outside the stronghold, and only entered the stronghold with the permission of the Commander-in-Chief.

I will wait here and leave with it. "

Anhil was immediately relieved. Fortunately, that person didn't sneak in secretly and was discovered by Rania. How else could he explain it?

Is it because my wife is a strange-faced person?

An Xil opened the door and said, "The night breeze is still a bit cold. Come in and have a cup of tea. There's no need to wait outside."

Rania hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but in the end she did not reject Ansiel's kindness.

More importantly, since the owner of the family had no objection, she really wanted to confirm for herself whether the purpose of the King of the Strange Face Clan's nightly visit to the Star Stronghold was really as outrageous as it said.

In the living room.

The King of the Strange Face Clan was not used to sitting on a chair, so he sat cross-legged in front of the stove, as if he thought it was a bonfire, looking around curiously.

Gail ran into the kitchen again and again and took out almost everything edible.

The King of the Qimian Clan was not polite. He took a bite of cheese and then a bite of ham. Maybe he thought it was a little salty. Then he took a bite of cabbage and was quite happy.

Taking advantage of this moment, Gale, who was only wearing a bathrobe, changed into casual clothes and came out, still wearing the armored dragon S helmet on his head.

She knelt down next to the King of the Strange Face Clan and stuffed a bunch of grapes into his hand. "There is still a lot of food in the storage room. I will find a bag to put it in and take it out for everyone to taste."

The King of the Strange Face Clan quickly put away the food in his hand and patted his belly, "No need to bother you yet. I came to the southern part of the continent this time specifically to deliver something to, gala, your child."

"Huh?" Gale was confused.

"Didn't those hunters talk to you?" The King of the Strange Face Clan was also puzzled.

Gale became more and more confused, "Who are they? What did they say?"

Anhil on the side had serious doubts that this guy's IQ would be lowered when communicating with the Strange Face Tribe, and he interjected: "Are you referring to Feng Ying, Aiden and the others who met you in the Dragon Crystal Land?"

"Feng Ying, Aiden and Jean, this is the name." The King of the Strange Face Clan nodded, and the stacked totem pole decorations above his head shook.

"I told them that I would find time to come here and bring your child a mask that belongs to her."

As if it finally recalled that Gale was actually a human being, it added, "This is the most important custom of the Strange Face Clan. Parents will prepare masks for their children.

The mask is more important than the name. It should be prepared before birth. You don't know how to make the mask. I should prepare it for you. "

Rania, who stood quietly and listened silently, couldn't help but hold her forehead. Is this such a ridiculous reason? !

An Xil planned to give Feng Ying a good beating tomorrow. The guy probably turned a deaf ear to what the King of the Strange Face Tribe said and forgot about it.

Although if it were him at the time, he probably wouldn't take it too seriously.

After all, he traveled across the entire New World just to deliver a mask.

"Haha." Gale's laughter was a little dry.

Back then, she happily put on a cat helmet and declared that she would join the Strange Face Clan. On the one hand, she really got along well with these lively and manic friends.

On the other hand, isn't there a bit of a joke?

The kings of the Strange Face Tribe take this "family" relationship very seriously.

Gale rubbed his nose and suddenly jumped up, "I'll bring Fufu over!"

An Xil looked strange, but he didn't stop her.

Soon, Gale ran back with Fufu in his arms. A sleeping child would not wake up easily, so Gale sat down cross-legged and held her in his arms.

The King of the Strange Face Tribe patted the crumbs of food on his hands, turned around and took out a wood carving from his bag, dyed it with bright patterns with natural dyes, and then decorated it with feathers and a red mask decorated with monster claws.

It is no different from the common Masked Mask.

"This is the mask I prepared before."

Gale solemnly stretched out his hands and was about to take it, but the King of the Strange Face Clan put the mask aside.

"But, on the way here, we encountered these scattered gold, and found this inside."

The King of the Strange Face Tribe took out a palm-sized piece of shiny gold from his luggage. The gold piece took on the shape of a mask and was engraved with mysterious lines of unknown origin.

"This is a gift from the Earth Mother Goddess. It is more suitable than what I prepared." The King of the Strange Face Clan smiled and put the golden mask on Fu Fu.

The golden mask was a bit heavy, which made the sleeping Fu Fu feel uncomfortable and twisted her body.

Gale blinked and put Fu Fu and the golden mask into An Xil's arms.

Then he reached out and picked up the wooden mask carved by the King of the Strange Face Clan himself, and put a set on his head.

"Then give me this mask!"

PS

Princess Mononoke is also a strange-faced tribe (explosive theory)

She even rides a toothhound (disordered)

Ahem, just kidding, but it seems like this is really possible? Japanese games really like to find inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki’s works.
