Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Anshir accepted a wave of complaints from Hurley and Fengying, but under the suppression of the triplet sisters Hetty and Gordon, they did not continue to ferment.

It doesn't make any sense to bring this kind of thing into the booing of others. To put it bluntly, it's just for fun.

After Anshir apologized earnestly, Herta did not continue to put on a show of face. Leaving aside personal relationships, it was her job to receive hunters and handle various related matters.

"Mr. Gordon, Ms. Fengying, and Mr. Sterling, your information has been registered and entered into the local file. Welcome to the East Doruma Hunter Gathering Hall."

Hertha smiled and returned the Hunter Notes to them, without any abnormality on his expression.

At least on the surface.

Feng Ying glanced at An Xier, and wanted to say something more, but Gordon pressed her head down.

Afterwards, he looked at the kanban lady Heta, and asked, "Miss Heta, I want to ask if there is a mission to hunt down the shield crab group."

"Okay Mr. Gordon, do you have any special needs?"

"Small Shrimp Shells are required for settlement rewards."

"Understood."

Hertha nodded, and together with Hetti Heli, quickly rummaged through several thick mission documents.

Fengying's eyes were shining brightly, and the matter of An Xier was also forgotten by her. She wasted so much effort when crossing the swamp before, wasn't it just for now?

A few minutes later, Hertha put the five mission slips on the counter and said with a smile, "There are five commissions that meet your requirements, whether or not."

Before Heta could finish her words, Fengying couldn't wait to pick up her luggage, and dumped all the stuffed shield crab head shells on the counter with a "crash".

"It's all done! These are my proofs for hunting shield crabs!"

Triplets: "."

Gordon \u0026 Anhill: "."

Noticing everyone's stiff expressions, Feng Ying, who lacked experience in this field, finally realized that something was wrong.

"Eh?" ∑(っ°Д°;)っ

Gordon stretched out his hand and slapped her hard on the head. While knocking her into the state of crouching with her head in her arms, he smiled dryly and said to Herta and the others:

"Ahem, what, can you pretend you didn't see it?"

"I saw it, old man." The voice of the guild supervisor came faintly.

Gordon covered his face, numb.

Crusading small monsters in advance, collecting crusade vouchers, and then accepting tasks for settlement, this behavior is undoubtedly illegal.

Although hunters often do this, they do so secretly.

For example, after accepting the task, come back to settle the settlement in a few days, pretending that you have just completed it.

Experienced guild staff can easily tell from the freshness of the materials that these monsters were hunted down before the mission was accepted.

But because of the mentality that one thing more is worse than one thing less, most of the time it will pass with one eye closed.

However, people like Feng Ying not only accumulated the number of missions at one time, but also used all of them in front of the guild manager for the face-jumping behavior.

outlaw outlaw belongs to yes

This time, not only Fengying, but also Gordon and Anshir suffered miserably. They were dragged aside by the black-faced guild director, and they were educated on the concept of ecological protection for several hours.

The reason the guild forbids this behavior is simple.

The mission entrustment of hunters has never been randomly set, which involves complex ecological balance considerations.

Take the crusade against Blue Velociraptor as an example.

If it is necessary to reduce the population of blue velociraptors in the Shretsen Hill area, the guild will set up multiple tasks and assign hunters to carry out crusades, so as to achieve the goal of overall stable reduction.

And the act of concentrating on the crusade is equivalent to exterminating the blue velociraptor on a certain mountain.

Although the number of blue velociraptors is the same between the two, the latter may cause more serious ecological disasters.

"There are at least one hundred and twenty shield crabs here. You won't really wipe out the shield crab population in a certain area, will you?" The guild manager's expression was stern, completely different from the original kind and kind appearance.

"No, no, no, really no"

Fengying, who was focused on education, sat down on her knees, sobbing, "I, I came all the way from the Kulbutios wetlands, and I collected these along the way, suck"

The guild director looked at Gordon and Anshir.

The two assured repeatedly that what Fengying said was true.

"The little girl is indeed not lying." A slightly hoarse, gentle male voice came.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously and found that it was a man in his fifties.

He was wearing a brown robe, with dark skin, not tall, and even a little sickly, holding a bamboo umbrella in his hand, like a cane.

Gordon also noticed that the knuckles of his fingers were thick, showing signs of years of weapon use.

The head and face exposed outside the robe were also covered with scars, especially the one on the cheek, which almost divided his entire face into two halves.

Anshir looked at the visitor in surprise, as if he knew him.

The man came to the large pile of shield crab head shell fragments in front of Fengying and squatted down. After picking and observing for a while, he said:

"Although Kulbutios and East Trad are both wetlands, their environments are different, and there are also subtle differences between the populations of shield crabs that inhabit them.

This can be seen from the texture of the carapace. In addition, the freshness of these carapaces varies greatly, so it should not be concentrated in one area. "

The director of the guild looked better when he heard the words, "Since it is your judgment, I naturally believe it. Fortunately, it is like this, otherwise it will be a big trouble, and I have to send a special investigation team to confirm the ecology."

Feng Ying glanced at the man gratefully, and muttered "Thank you".

The guild director, who was about the same height as Fengying who was kneeling on the ground, walked up to her, hugged his chest and said, "I won't punish you this time, but these carapaces have to be confiscated.

If you don't teach you little guys a lesson, you'll know what to do all day long! If things go on like this, aren't you afraid that 'Guild Dark Night' will come to you? "

"Oh..." Fengying who had been taught a terrible lesson didn't dare to raise her opinion at all, and so did Gordon and Anshir, who stood obediently aside with their necks curled up.

Fengying didn't know what "Dark Night of the Guild" was, but they did.

On the surface, it was an elite unit belonging to the guild knights, but in fact, it was an "executor" targeting serious violators of discipline. (Official novel setting)

The mysterious man stuck one arm in the skirt of his clothes, leaning on the umbrella with one hand, and said, "It is time to learn the lesson.

But director, this little guy has just hunted down so many shield crabs, and if they confiscated them all, he will hunt again, isn't the number of shield crabs reduced too much? "

The director of the guild said with a dark face: "If you say that, can't you punish her?"

The man scratched his short hair, which was not very thick, and said with some embarrassment: "Punishment is inevitable, what do you think?

Calculate the number of shield crab carapaces and cancel the corresponding crusade mission, but the mission reward will not be settled, nor will it be included in the number of missions she completed. "

Hearing this, the guild leader's expression improved a bit.

The man's proposal is not beneficial to Fengying, it is purely to avoid excessive hunting of shield crabs.

"However, blindly confiscating and punishing her is a bit inhumane." The man looked at Fengying's equipment and continued:

"At the level of the little girl, if you hunt down shield crabs in large numbers, it should be to collect 'small shrimp shells' to make lobster suits. Can the supervisor give me face and give her the shrimp shells in the settlement rewards alone?"

Fengying sniffed hard, and looked at the guild leader expectantly with her eyes wide open.

The guild supervisor's expression changed several times, and finally he let out a heavy sigh.

"Write a review for me first, don't make an example!"

ps. Poaching is quite serious in the original world view, especially for large monsters. If encountering them in the wild, hunters cannot actively hunt. Of course, it’s okay to fight back to protect themselves.

An Xier was relatively indifferent before, mainly because, um, the family is rich and powerful.
