Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Sitting on several giant bobo-shaped caravans, Gordon felt quite curious.

He had been to Barubare many times, but it was his first time to move with the city.

Barubare's movement speed was not fast, at least three to five kilometers a day, and at most no more than ten kilometers.

The movement process was much more complicated than he thought.

It was not enough for the whole family to set out together and head towards the destination.

The regulations and routes must be strictly followed, and the scouting team must set out in advance to ensure the safety of the road and the temporary camp every day.

If necessary, the accompanying hunters will also eliminate the monsters approaching the route to clear the obstacles for the arrival of the subsequent team.

After that, the main team, mainly local residents and merchants, will set out in batches in blocks to go to the camping site that has been determined in advance.

Each batch of teams must be escorted by a team of hunters to avoid accidents on the road.

At the same time, the scouting team will continue to set out to ensure the next camping site, and the cycle will repeat.

For each team, the specific work of each wagon driver may not be much, but integrating them all is an extremely complex and tedious task.

Any small mistake, such as wagon damage, sick pack animals, or extreme weather, will become a huge trouble when accumulated.

It's like a precision machine. If a screw is missing or a gear is loose, it may still work normally for a while, but if it's delayed for a little while, it will start to break down.

Listening to Hayata's explanation, Gordon couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it so complicated? It seems that the captains who can command the migration of Barubare are really amazing."

"It's not enough for the commander to have experience. At that time, I heard the captain say that the key to the smooth migration of Barubare was the countless experienced drivers and team leaders.

They passed down the experience accumulated by their ancestors from generation to generation, and further improved and carried forward.

For hundreds of years, Barubare has developed from a wandering team of only a few people to the current mobile city, relying on more than a few people."

"Hear someone praise me?" The old man jumped onto the caravan they were in with agility.

"Team"

Gordon Hayata was about to say hello, but was stunned by the old guy's "new look" and was speechless for a while.

Not only did the old guy's beloved wide-brimmed hat disappear, but it was swallowed by the latter in the battle of hunting the Swallowing Abyss Dragon. After the war, he couldn't find it for a long time. It was probably blown to ashes by "Qikiya".

But why is that iconic big monster bird leather jacket gone? He has been replaced with a robe commonly seen among desert dwellers, and it is hard to recognize him for a moment.

The guild master knew what they were surprised about, and waved his hand and said, "The compensation for the damage to the Isana will be paid by the Balubare Guild to Naguli Village.

In contrast, the rebuilt Isana will be managed by the Balubare Guild. After all, it is used to deal with the Haoshan Dragon, so there is nothing we can do about it.

Isana jumped up and down and asked for psychological compensation. I had no choice but to give her the jacket."

As he said that, a trace of pain appeared on the guild master's face, "I have been wearing that big monster bird leather jacket for many years, and I maintain it every week.

That noisy little girl should not wear it out in a few days."

"I don't think so." Hayata laughed dryly, "Isana is a craftsman herself, and she should be good at leather maintenance."

"I'm afraid she will wear it to forge iron."

"Uh."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. There are two letters for you, both of which are urgent letters sent by peregrine falcons." The old man said, handing them two mailboxes.

"One is from Elgard, and the other, well, I don't know where it came from, it's more mysterious."

Gordon took the letter from Elgard, opened it and took a look, and said with some regret: "It seems that I can't go to Rexara to eat seafood this time."

Hayata opened the other one.

This secret letter without any signs or signatures only has one sentence-the equipment is complete, come and try it out.

Noticing Hayata's strange expression, the old man couldn't help but glance at the content of the letter, "Uh, you didn't order something that violates the regulations on the black market?"

"What are you thinking, it's a secret letter from the guild." Hayata rolled his eyes.

"Is the secret letter from the guild like this?" The old man was a little confused, but seeing the two people's confident looks, he didn't say much.

Gordon took the letter and understood it after reading it.

If this letter was taken by other people, they would only feel that it was incoherent, but in their eyes, the meaning was very clear.

"Where to go first?" Hayata asked Gordon.

Gordon pondered for a moment and said, "Anshil said that if things here are over, we can go there when we have time.

The situation should not be particularly urgent, let's go and check the equipment first.

Captain, can you arrange an airship for us?

And help get two peregrine falcons. We have to send a letter to Elgard and Berna Village respectively, and fill in Fengying and Oshura as the recipients. The content of the letter can be the same as above."

"Of course, whether it is an airship or a peregrine falcon, we have no shortage of it in Barubare!"

"Then trouble you."

That night, a small airship quietly took off at the temporary base of Barubare.

As for the destination, Gordon and Hayata could not say one, two, three, or four, but just gave the navigator a coordinate.

The navigator was smart enough not to ask any more questions. After marking the coordinate point on the route map, he directed the airship to turn southeast and drive quickly.

After two days and nights of sailing, the airship landed on the beach of an isolated island in the far sea of ​​the South China Sea.

Gordon and Hayata got off the airship and did not walk around. Instead, they took out a flare and fired it into the air.

Soon, they saw a team of people rushing over.

In addition to the guild knights headed by Julius, there were actually several dark nights in the team.

Their aggressive appearance made them feel a little uneasy.

Seeing Gordon and Hayata, a trace of surprise flashed across Julius' face.

He raised his hand, asking the guild knights and the dark nights to be patient, and came to Gordon and the others alone.

The tone was serious with a little helplessness, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were waiting for news?

This island is a forbidden area strictly blocked by the guild. No one is allowed to land without a pass.

Fortunately, I brought people here, otherwise those dark nights would have tied you up."

Gordon felt puzzled, "We came here from Barubare just because we received the news?"

Julius frowned, "What kind of news?"

Gordon took out the mysterious letter he had received before and handed it to the former.

Julius's face was a little scary, "This is not sent by us. Even if the official letters of the guild are secret letters, the wax seal will be stamped with the guild's emblem.

Have you told anyone about the 'taboo' equipment and this island?"

Gordon's brows also frowned, "Of course not, so we were deceived?"

"I can't say, the master is also on the island, I'll take you to see him first."

The crew of the airship was controlled by the guild knights.

Gordon and Hayata, who were confused, were taken to an underground building on the island under the "escort" of the Dark Nights.

Here, they met Master Cambe, the Dragon Craftsman, and the second-term leader of the New World Investigation Team.

After listening to the story and carefully reading the mysterious letter, Master Cambe was silent for a long time.

He waved his hand, signaling the Dark Nights to lift the alarm.

Only Julius was left, and after letting the knights and the Dark Nights leave, he said to Gordon and the others: "In fact, those equipment made of "taboo" materials were only completed two days ago, almost when you received the letter.

But the letter was indeed not sent by us.

The impact of those equipment on the spirit is stronger than we expected. Several of us are still discussing whether to let you come over for trial or to seal it directly.

As a result, you are here."

The old dragon craftsman who has lived longer than the history of the guild sighed, "There is no need to be suspicious among your own people.

It should be "them" who would do such a prank."
