Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

(I had a car accident - five people were rear-ended on the highway, and I was the third one. Fortunately, I was fine. I was numb)

Gordon was very serious about wanting to practice alone for a period of time.

Once he made a certain decision, almost no one could change it.

Of course, he would not abandon everything and leave at any time.

After talking to his companions about this, he wrote a letter to the commander-in-chief, explaining his plan to seek a breakthrough in willpower through practice.

I hope to temporarily hand over the duties of Commander Yuechen to Anxier.

When reading this letter, the commander-in-chief's expression was very subtle.

This development is too familiar. Back then, he and the commander-in-chief were like this. The commander-in-chief said that he wanted to practice and break through, so he "temporarily" entrusted the work of managing the investigation team to him.

And then this entrustment lasted for most of his life.

Decades later, he became the commander-in-chief of the investigation team, and the commander-in-chief was still running around outside all day.

Wouldn't Gordon be like this too?

It shouldn't be possible, right? After all, he has a wife and children, not like an old bachelor.

After careful consideration, the commander-in-chief agreed to Gordon's request.

At the moment when the Ice Curse Dragon was solved, the investigation team did not have any particularly urgent matters.

The investigation on the mysterious singing and geological changes has been ongoing, but there is no clue for the time being, and it is still in the stage of constantly accumulating intelligence and information.

Coincidentally, there are two investigation tasks that are more difficult for ordinary hunters or even upper-level hunters to grasp, so they are handed over to Gordon, just as a training subject for him.

Thinking of this, the commander-in-chief was no longer entangled.

He handed the reply letter and a promotion document sent from the headquarters of the Old Continent Guild to the messenger.

Then he continued to work at his desk, dealing with the complicated tasks that seemed to never be finished.

"Ha! The commander-in-chief agreed!"

Gordon shook the letter in his hand, and then slapped the letter on Anxier's chest, "From today, the commander of the Yuechen stronghold is you!"

Anxier had an expression of "I don't believe it" on his face, took the reply letter and quickly glanced at it, his expression getting darker and darker.

He gritted his teeth and emphasized, "It's the 'temporary' commander!"

Gordon shrugged, his shoulders were extra relaxed today.

Ansel took a deep breath and adjusted his mood, "I can only take your place for a month at most, if you haven't come back after a month.

Haha, you can try it."

"I'll try my best, I'll try my best", Gordon laughed dryly in the face of Ansel's threat.

This guy in front of him is very vengeful, and it's better to take his threats to heart.

Ansel rubbed the corners of his eyes. Since the matter has become a fait accompli, complaining more is just a waste of time.

"By the way, the messenger sent Hayata's promotion documents along with the reply letter?"

"Really?" Gordon glanced at the metal letter box with wax sealing in his hand, "It should be the application submitted by the commander-in-chief to Dondoruma after hunting Behemoth.

Calculating the time on the way back and forth, it's almost the same."

As for the result of the promotion application, there is no suspense.

If the guild headquarters did not approve the application, they would only send a simple letter, instead of a delicate and gorgeous metal mailbox with a wax seal of the guild emblem on the opening.

That was the wax stamp used by the great elder.

They had received similar documents more than once, so they would not make a mistake.

In theory, the promotion document should be handed directly to Hayata by the messenger.

But the messenger was lazy, and it would be the same for Gordon anyway.

After receiving the letter, "Commander Yuechen" and "Temporary Commander Yuechen" went to the headquarters together to hand over some work.

After completing the handover, An Xier found that Gordon, the commander of Yuechen, was much more "muddled" than he thought.

Most of the work that should have been done by Gordon himself was thrown to the leader of the logistics team. His role in the headquarters was more like a mascot.

Only when important meetings were held would some necessary decisions be made.

An Xier felt much more relaxed.

Is this the job of Commander Yuechen? All right, I'll send some more supplements to the leader of the supply squad later.

The two of them returned home relaxed.

Finding that Hayata and Muti were not at home, Gordon turned around and went to Anshil's house next door.

Sure enough, they were all here.

Hayata, Gail, Mrs. Sterling, and Fufu, who was playing with little Muti, looked like a girls' gathering.

Anshil sat alone in a farther place, looking out of place.

Gordon walked to Hayata, hid his hands behind his back, and said with a grin, "I brought you a gift."

Hayata hadn't said anything yet, but Gail, who was lying on the sofa, sat up straight, "Oh? What's that? Take it out and show it to everyone."

Facing the expectant eyes of everyone, Gordon, who was just planning to make a little joke, touched his nose.

He took out the mailbox with the promotion document and handed it to Hayata.

Hayata took it with some surprise, but Gale rolled his eyes fiercely, "Neh, this can be considered a gift? This is at most a gift from the Great Elder, right?

But it is indeed worth celebrating, Gordon, you treat us, hehehe!"

"Okay." Gordon accepted the blackmail helplessly.

Hayata carefully opened the letter tube and took out the document inside. As they thought, it was the official document promoting Hayata to the eight-star hunter.

Although there won't be a significant difference between an eight-star hunter and a seven-star hunter in terms of treatment and other aspects, this represents a kind of recognition.

It also means that Feng Ying, who is still a seven-star hunter, will once again become the lowest-level hunter in the team.

"Then you really have to put in some thought this time." Mrs. Sterling smiled and raised the red teacup in her hand, "I have some ideas for the design of this set of armor, just consider it as my gift."

The in-depth dissection of the Ice Curse Dragon is still going on, but the materials such as scales, shells, and wing membranes have basically been settled.

As the main force in hunting Ice Curse Dragons, the Silver Edge team is naturally allocated the most materials. If they are concentrated, it is more than enough to build a set of armor, even more weapons.

It is obviously not appropriate to leave such excellent materials in the storage box to accumulate dust.

Even though it has not been long since the last time the four Silver Edge members changed their clothes, there is no need to change new equipment for the time being, but they still plan to make a set, which will always come in handy.

As for who this set of equipment is for, it depends on the characteristics of the materials.

After the second-term leader's appraisal, he said that the material of the Ice Curse Dragon has the characteristic of accumulating cold air.

After being made into protective gear, the accumulated cold air can be injected into the weapon and released at the moment of the hunter's attack, causing huge damage.

In other words, protective gear made of Ice Curse Dragon materials should be quite suitable for the so-called "sword-drawing style".

An Xier and Feng Ying expressed their withdrawal at that time. It is not uncommon for katana users and great sword users to like to use the sword-drawing style, but it is too strange to use shield axes and heavy crossbows to draw swords.

So the choice fell on Gordon and Hayata.

Both of them planned to let the other use it.

Hayata hoped that Gordon would replace the [Crazy Mark] with new equipment. After all, that set of protective gear was too evil, and she didn't want Gordon to become more and more crazy.

Gordon believed that as the main vanguard of the team, the guerrilla-oriented sword-drawing style was not suitable for him. However, Hayata's positioning and the sword skills he practiced were highly compatible with the sword-drawing style.

Moreover, he really couldn't bear to give up the series of protections of [Crazy Mark] that were extremely suitable for greatsword users.

The two argued for several days, and in the end, Hayata still couldn't beat Gordon.

The new armor made of the Ice Curse Dragon material will be used by Hayata.

As for the regenerated short and thick ice blade tail, it will be matched with other materials to make a brand new greatsword for Gordon.

Ps.

The Ice Porridge Set is too weird for a muscle man like Gordon to wear. Feng Ying is not right in all aspects. Anxiel is quite suitable in terms of image, but the face-crawling bug fighting style of the Cold Air Heavy Crossbow, emmm, seems to be only Hayata can wear it.

As for the weapons of the Ice Curse Dragon, they are all fake goods according to the standards in the game, but Gordon still needs a greatsword with attributes. As for the reason, everyone knows.
