Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Passing between the incredible number of large and small aircraft.

The airship landed on the airship pad of Bernard Village.

Before they even stepped down the gangway, the three drunkards all took a deep breath and exhaled it again.

"Suck--, exhale!"

"Wow, Gordon and the others are telling the truth!"

"What's going on with the air here? It's like the lungs have been washed!"

“It’s kind of cool!”

"Kababa!"

Next to the airship platform, the chief researcher who was walking up to prepare to greet them couldn't help but smile when he heard their comments.

"That's right, the most delicious 'drink' in Bernard Village is not wine and goat's milk, but the mountain air."

Seeing that the other party was coming to meet them, Ted and the others certainly couldn't continue to stay in the airboat and "put on airs", so they all walked down the gangway.

Although their status may not be as high as Babaka's on weekdays, in front of outsiders, Machayoshula and the others still give Ted face.

The two of them were half a step behind, highlighting the identity of Captain Ted.

But in contrast, tasks such as formal negotiations with people were also left to him.

With a warm smile on his face, the chief researcher reached out his hand and shook hands with Ted.

"Mr. Ted from 'Iron Wall', Maka from 'Flying Spirit', and Miss Urshula from 'Air Strike', welcome to Bernard Village."

Maka and Oshura both shuddered.

As a high-ranking hunting group second only to Silverborder, the Guild will promote them a lot, so the so-called titles and other things are naturally arranged.

Although they are all quite "fair" titles, when I visited relatives in Minagard before, I was still teased a lot by Maxine and the old friends at the gathering place.

This makes them feel embarrassed when they hear these titles from others.

Only Ted was thick-skinned enough and even a little smug.

"Just call us by our names." Maka mentioned with a smile.

The chief researcher's glasses flashed, and he, who was very good at observation and communication, was keenly aware that the two ladies seemed a little unhappy with their respective titles, so he never mentioned this matter again.

"I just heard you mention 'Gordon', are you referring to the one from the Yinbian Hunting Group?" The chief researcher asked knowingly, "Those Yinbian guys have a lot of connections with our Longli Academy.

One of our most mainstream hunting styles, the courage style, was perfected and established by Mr. Gordon. "

Ted, who is tall and strong, has a sinewy face, and has a big bald head, can easily give people a "rough" impression, but in fact, he has no lack of experience in interacting with people.

Ancil even commented that he was the one with the highest emotional intelligence among the trio of drunkards.

Of course he could see that the chief researcher was trying to get close to Gordon and the others, but it didn't matter. That was how interpersonal communication was.

Shaking the chief researcher's thin arm vigorously, he also laughed and said: "We have also heard Gordon and the others talk about many things about Bernard Village and Longli Academy.

Although this is our first time here, we feel very familiar with this place! "

"Haha! If so, you must have heard of our specialty cheese fondue in Bernard Village, right?"

"Of course! I have long thought that I would try it if I had the chance to come over!"

"What a coincidence. Jie Feng's feast has been prepared a long time ago. Come with me, you three! There are super fresh prawns caught from the mountain lake in the morning!"

The two laughed like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.

Under the guidance of the chief researcher, they left the air landing and walked along the village road towards the village.

Makhaoshura looked at each other, shrugged, and followed.

There is a free meal, why not take advantage of it?

Although this Jie Feng Banquet was served at a roadside stall, Ted and the three of them ate very happily.

A huge skewer as thick as an arm is stuffed into the boiling cheese pot, stirred a few times, twisted around a few times, pulled out, and the ingredients are covered with a thick layer of cheese.

He looks like he will fatten you to death even if he doesn't burn you to death.

The chief researcher who was accompanying them looked at them enjoying their meal with a smile.

He had done his homework in advance. If a hunter like Ancil or Yamos came, it would not be appropriate to treat them to these.

He also asked someone to bring a barrel of ice ale for drinks.

What surprised him a little was that the trio whose hunting group was named "Alcohol" did not drink wildly, but drank quite restrainedly.

This gave him a higher opinion of the three of them.

After eating and drinking, the chief researcher led them to wander around the village.

When I was walking around to eat and came to the vicinity of the Longshi ship's dedicated air launch platform, I "happened" to meet the three members of the cross team.

"Oh! You are here too!" The chief researcher said in surprise: "Let me introduce it to you."

The young female Sledgehammer put her hands on her hips, puffed her mouth, glared at the chief researcher dissatisfied, and interrupted him, "You didn't even call us when you were having a big dinner! And you asked us to wait here!"

"Uh." The chief researcher hesitated.

"Hee~! You're kidding!" The Sledgehammer put aside the chief researcher and stretched out his hand towards Ted, "My name is Yuna! The Seven-Star Sledgehammer, a member of the Crossover Team!"

Two hands, one big and one small, are held together.

Ted could feel that the opponent was slowly gaining strength.

Ted, who understood what the other party meant, smiled and bared his teeth, and began to exert force.

Soon, the wrist armor of the two men made a "creak" sound.

The chief researcher was about to say something when the blond light crossbow user put his arms around his shoulders and said with a playful smile: "It's okay, this is how we hunters say hello.

Just go about your business and leave the job of receiving the seniors to us! "

After glancing at the faces of Maka Oshula and others, he found that they were also smiling and watching the show, and the chief researcher was relieved.

After confessing his crime to them, he left silently.

The "handshake" between Ted and Yuna lasted for nearly a minute, and finally ended with the latter taking the initiative to relax and admit defeat.

She waved her hands and muttered, "As expected, I still can't compare."

Ted chuckled, but his heart couldn't help but tingle.

If his strength hadn't increased by 20 to 30% in the past few years in the New World, the outcome this time would not have been certain.

"Yo ho, you can convince Yuna, this big brother, you are really super strong!"

The blond male light crossbow user gave a somewhat exaggerated salute, "I am Lan Screech, the seven-star light crossbow user. Just call me Lan."

"Iliad, the Seven-Star Swordsman." The remaining swordsman simply introduced himself in a calm tone that was inconsistent with the flamboyant appearance of his armor.

"Fork Meow." Beside him, a somewhat lazy-looking Elu also said.

The alcohol team also introduced themselves.

Before Babaka could finish his words, Yuna asked impatiently: "Seniors! I heard that all the hunters from the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team have withdrawn. Are you familiar with everyone in Silverside?"

"That's so familiar!" Ted grinned.

"So how does our strength compare with Feng Ying's? Do we have a chance to win?" Yuna asked expectantly.

Lan laughed and broke the story, "She has competed with Feng Ying countless times before, but she has never won. She has been training hard these years and said she wants to find a chance to avenge her past humiliation."

Yuna kicked him away angrily.

Ted scratched his bald head and said, "Compared with that guy, I might be a little behind."

Maka also winked and smiled: "And just a few days ago, Feng Ying was promoted to eight stars."

Yuna was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.

Suddenly he held his head and howled, "Lost again!"
