Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"What do you think the guild master is looking for us all of a sudden?" The eccentric shield-axe user Ahun chirped in his partner's ear.

His skin was a brown from the sun and wind, and his long black hair was messily draped over his shoulders, tied into a sloppy braid that might as well not be tied.

"I don't know." The taciturn spear user Bika had a stern face, and he didn't seem to want to pay attention to the noisy companion beside him.

The latter often had to say a lot before he would simply respond with one or two words.

It seemed that most spear users in this world looked like this, calm, reliable, and not talkative.

Pushing the door to enter the meeting hall, two young men and women who looked like they were less than 20 years old just blocked them.

This should be a pair of hunter lovers, the two of them stared at each other affectionately, and it seemed that they were about to kiss.

"Ahem——!" Ahun coughed hard.

The young hunter couple shuddered and noticed that the two hunters with luxurious equipment were blocked by them. They panicked and quickly stepped aside.

Ahun and Bika walked over expressionlessly, and the couple could be heard discussing in a low voice behind them.

"Wow! I don't recognize the armor, but is that the Dragon Shield Axe?"

"The armor of the spear user is the Steel Hammer Dragon Suit. I have seen it on Instructor Altman. They should be two high-level hunters!"

"Recently, there seem to be many powerful hunters coming to East Dorma. Those two are probably famous masters. Should we go and ask for their autographs?"

"No, I only have room for you."

"Ah--you are so annoying~."

"."

Ahun's facial features twisted, "Although we are all seven-star hunters, we are also famous masters, and those two little guys may not even have two stars.

But we lost, and we lost completely. Why is my teammate not a lively and cute beautiful girl, but a dead face like you?!"

The corners of the mouth of the spear user Pica, who had no rich expressions, could not help twitching twice.

Shield Axe Master Ahun continued to mutter, "I've decided. When this incident is over, I will go back to my hometown to get married!

When I find a wife, I will part ways with you!"

Pika glanced at him and was too lazy to answer.

One cursed and the other ignored him. The two of them came to the second floor of the meeting place, the office of the guild master.

Knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from inside, the two pushed the door open and entered.

In addition to the guild master, there was another person in the office. They both knew that person - the eight-star sword master with the reputation of "Swift Sword", Amos.

The two greeted each other politely, and Amos nodded to them.

Then he turned around and said to the guild master: "I'll join."

"You can think about it carefully. This is not an ordinary mission." The guild master reminded calmly.

"I understand. I've made up my mind."

"Okay." The guild master nodded and wrote down Amos's name.

Then he looked at the two people who had just arrived, "Seven-star Spear User Pica, Seven-star Shield Axe User Ahun, there is a special mission with extremely high risk, and the mortality rate is conservatively estimated to be over 50%.

But correspondingly, the reward is also generous. Do you choose to join?

An additional reminder, this mission is completely voluntary. If you don't want to take risks, you can leave now."

The two exchanged glances.

To be honest, when they heard "the mortality rate is over 50%, their first reaction was to refuse."

Even if the reward is generous, it is meaningless if you don't have a life to spend.

In order to protect hunters, the guild generally does not issue such a mission that is almost like sending death, and since this mission exists, it means that its significance is extraordinary.

So they did not rush to make a decision.

Instead, it was Pica who asked: "Excuse me, can you tell me the general content of the mission?"

Ahun also added: "Is it related to the strange 'assessment' we participated in before?"

"Yes." The guild leader briefly summarized: "In short, some very terrifying monster has awakened, and its existence may even destroy human civilization.

We need a team to venture into a certain area for reconnaissance.

The evil eye you saw in the assessment before is the fossil of the monster's eyeball after death.

From this point, you can roughly imagine how dangerous that monster is.

I emphasize again that this mission is voluntary. If you carry out the mission with a reluctant mentality, you may go crazy the moment you see the monster."

After hearing this, the two were silent for a long time, and the guild leader did not urge them, just waiting quietly.

After a few minutes, the spearman Bika spoke up, "I will participate. Although I can't imagine what kind of existence can destroy human civilization, since you said so, it must be true.

Someone has to take the risk. I have no relatives and few friends, so I am the most suitable person to go."

"If you go, I will definitely go too." Ahun shrugged.

Bika looked at him and said seriously, "This time it's a matter of life and death, you don't need to follow."

Ahun crossed his arms and sneered, "You talk as if you are the only one who is not afraid of death. If we don't get rid of that thing, won't everyone be doomed?

By the way, Boss, how generous is the reward you said? Help us make a decision?"

“.After you have made a real decision, I will tell you the reward, otherwise it will affect your judgment.”

“Go ahead, go ahead, anyway, I am just an older single man.” Ah Huen waved his hand, “If you die, you die, the chance to survive should be left to those sweet young couples.”

After confirming the intentions of the two again, the guild leader wrote down their names.

Then he took out the task sheet and handed it to them.

——

Special Task: Until the End of Death (★★★★★★★★★)

Task Content: Investigate the Black Dragon

Reward: 1500000z

Task Location: Ancient Shulet City

Grand Elder: Investigate its information as much as possible, and then come back alive.

——

“1500000z?! That means 500000z per person, is this the value of a nine-star task?” Ah Huen couldn’t help but swear.

The guild leader corrected him, "It's not 1500000z in total, but 1500000z for each participant. The elder specifically said that the reward for this mission will be tripled.

If anyone dies, there will be a large pension, also tripled. You can choose the beneficiary, whether it's a relative or someone else."

"What else is there to say?" Ah Huen looked eager to try, "After this job, I can really retire and go home to get married!"

The guild leader glanced at him and continued, "These are the mission rewards, but there is another special benefit, which is also specially ordered by the elder.

Participants in the mission can enter the guild warehouse before departure and freely choose the protective stones and decorative beads. As long as they can be used in the mission, there is no limit to the type and quantity, and they can be kept after the mission is over."

"?!!"

This time, not only Ah Huen and Bika, but even the calm Amos couldn't help breathing heavier.

After being stunned for several seconds, Ah Huen, who has a lively personality, suddenly jumped up.

"F*ck! You should have told me earlier. If I had known there was such a benefit, any hesitation for a second would be disrespectful to the guild warehouse!"

"Knock, knock, knock!" The knock on the door sounded again.

The guild leader said, "Come in."

Lieyan leaned into the room and saw that there were already several seniors. He raised two thumbs as a greeting.

Ah Huen clenched his fists, "Wow! I really have a beautiful hunter as my teammate! I have no regrets in death!"

"?"

Ps. To be honest, she is still very cute, a bit like Yuffie
