Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Brother Ted?!" Gordon was stunned, "Aren't you in Yuechen? Why did you come here?

No, we just came here by airboat yesterday. How did you come here? ! "

Ted loudly shouted to the waiter to bring more wine and meat, and then muttered: "I came here on a pterosaur. I flew for almost three days and I am exhausted!"

"You flew back from the eternal frost on a pterosaur?! Is that pterosaur still alive?"

"So you're here this time?" Gordon asked tentatively.

He noticed something seemed off about Ted's mood.

"Bang!" Ted slammed the table, "I just came back to take a look!"

Facing the disbelieving looks from his tablemates, he muttered for a while and finally told the truth, "Actually, I just ran back and hid for a while."

Just as the waiter brought the wine, Gordon pushed the head-sized wine glass in front of Ted and said with great interest: "Come on, let's talk while drinking."

After drinking another whole glass of ale, Ted breathed out the smell of alcohol, "Hiccup, it's actually nothing, I'm just a little upset!"

Gordon Alva, the two married men, looked at each other and quickly ordered a few more drinks for Ted.

"Speak slowly, one by one!"

Ted finally started talking, "Actually, it was about the Yuechen Defense War. At that time, the area we were responsible for investigating was too far away from the stronghold. We didn't see the signal, so we didn't come back.

This is indeed my fault. If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in the stronghold, and the casualties would have been smaller."

"It's not anyone's fault, it can only be luck." Gordon comforted, he could understand Ted's mood.

For the Yuechen Stronghold at that time, the Alcohol Squad was a very important force.

If the three of them had participated in the defense, the battle might not have been so tragic.

The day the alcohol team completed their investigation and returned to their stronghold, they happened to catch up with the victim's funeral. The three of them, who had no idea what had happened, were confused and it was natural for them to feel guilty.

"In those days, I was quite irritable, and so were Maka and the others. We had a few big fights for some reasons, but they were all just to vent our emotions."

Ted did not continue to drink. After accepting Ancier's forced abstinence, he restrained his drinking a lot.

Alva handed Ted a carrot and asked him to nibble on it as a snack. "There is nothing you can do about being in a bad mood. When Rania is in a bad mood, I will find a way to run out and hide."

"So, why don't I come here?"

"Uh, that's right."

"Well, it was actually Ancil's idea. He said that since the mood is not right, we should not see each other for a while and calm down."

"As expected of Ansil Meow"

"What about Oshula and the others?" Az asked with some concern.

He and Urshula were on good terms.

"The two of them were taken by Feng Ying and the others. One went to see the Aurora and the other went to the hot springs. I had nowhere to go, so I originally wanted to drink in a tavern over there for a few days.

Anxier told me why not come to Xingchen. He said that you were going to do something more interesting and I could join you. "

Gordon twitched his lips.

He couldn't tell for a moment whether Ancil had found an assistant for his good brother or a nanny for his eldest son.

Can this be refused?

It didn't seem appropriate. I promised to practice alone, but the number of people became more and more.

This is almost enough to form a full team of high-level hunters. With three heavy-weapon swordsmen and a shooter, it seems that it would be okay to change the investigation mission into a hunting mission?

Of course that won't work. The Commander-in-Chief won't agree to it.

Having said that, there is a gun wielder, a spear wielder, and myself, a great sword wielder who has taken a series of defensive preparations.

Is it true that everyone is so stubborn?

Even if you take a bite of Gulong, you will find the meat to be of poor quality, right?

"Let's go together." Gordon said, "Anything is fine, just do whatever you want. We're tired."

"But let's talk first. Our mission this time is mainly about investigation. If there is a chance, I would like to confront that ancient dragon, but it is best not to break out into a fight."

"What the hell?" Ted asked with a question mark on his face, "Aren't we all going fishing together? Why did we turn into investigating ancient dragons?

What kind of ancient dragon? What does it mean to want a confrontation but not to break out into a fight? "

Facing Ted's series of questions, Gordon had no choice but to explain the origins of the practice plan and the commander-in-chief's commission.

"So, the ideal situation is that you help me hold the battle, and I'll 'play' with that ancient dragon for a while. It's best for everyone to stay calm and not cause any big trouble."

"It feels a bit idealistic, nya."

Pork Chop took a big bite of grilled fish and said vaguely: "Gu Long's self-esteem is very strong.

Even if it is a kind of docile unicorn, if you run in front of it and burst out with breath, it will definitely summon thunder to strike your cat. "

Gordon let out a heavy breath.

"I also know this, but I can't think of any better way at the moment. Let's give it a try."

Aziz gave a thumbs up, "Well, I understand you. What you want is the feeling of waiting before the big fish takes the bait. As for whether the fish takes the bait or whether it can be caught, it doesn't matter anymore!"

"So we won't go fishing?" Ted scratched his bald head full of scars, looking a little regretful, "It's a pity, I quite like fishing."

Gordon was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

In this way, when I was in Minagard City, when I first met Ted and the others, he was taken by Ted to go fishing in the Metabay Wet Jungle.

At that time, we also hunted shield crabs, dug crab roe, grilled meat and fish, and had a lot of fun.

More than ten years have passed, and I really miss it.

Thinking of this, Gordon couldn't help but smile.

The half-joking idea before also popped up again, "Fishing! Why not fishing? Anyway, we plan to go by boat from the sea, and fish hard for a few days on the way.

I can't find a suitable opportunity for cultivation this time, so I'll find a way later.

The Coral Plateau is rich in resources. When we get there, we can eat and drink while looking for clues about the glowing monsters. Just take it as a vacation and relax!"

Looking at Ted and Az, the three of them grinned at the same time and laughed.

They picked up their respective wine glasses and bumped them together.

"Vacation!"

"Fishing!"

"Have fun!"

Alva was a beat slower in reaction, but he also quickly raised his wine glass, which was a few sizes smaller, and joined the hunters in toasting.

Even Pork Chop got excited, holding up the fish bone in its paw, "I'll prepare more seasonings this time meow! Watch me show off my skills meow!"

The more they talked, the more excited they became. Even they themselves didn't expect that they would burst out with such high enthusiasm in the matter of "playing".

Just talking about the "playing" projects, they shouted until midnight.

Fortunately, they didn't lose their minds completely.

Before everyone went home, Gordon, who was half drunk, did not forget to remind Ted, "The target of our investigation this time may be able to manipulate water and discharge electricity, especially electricity!

Hiccup——, your Explosive Scale Dragon armor is not suitable, remember, get an electric-resistant protective stone or something, don't forget!"

Ted, who was also drunk and flushed, slammed the table hard, "Look, you look down on me, don't you? I am such a powerful avant-garde, how, how could I only have, only one set of Explosive Scale Dragon?!

This time, let me show you my guild Cross Alpha!

Whatever you want, we have it!"

Ps.

It has been mentioned before, but everyone may have forgotten that Ted is about ten years older than Gordon, and Az is about five or six years older than Gordon. Now Gordon is almost thirty years old, so the two are almost forty and thirty-four or thirty-five years old respectively.

As well as the attributes of the guild Cross Alpha, the resistance of Thunder, Ice, Fire, Water and Dragon is 2 levels each, and there are also Spirit Protection, Escape, Preparation, Flying Swallow, Unyielding, Strong Luck, and everything else.

I guess no one will use this set in the game, but in reality, it may be useful.

There are exactly five level one slots, and one of the five resistance beads is inserted in each. Resistance is +20 and 5x10 defense is stacked. Then get an Iron Wall Stone or something. It is a turtle.
