Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Although it is not a trip with the main goal of hunting monsters, Hariyata is still full of expectations.

When he was in Minergard City, because Master Amos was very busy, the time for teaching hunting had to be shortened, so naturally it was impossible to take her out for a stroll.

After being promoted to three stars and leaving the teacher, she wanted to travel to the mainland, but for some reason she stopped in Pokai Village in Daxue Mountain, practiced there for almost a year, and then came to Dongduoluma.

Most of the entire continent is a fresh "unexplored" state for her.

It seems interesting to be able to go out for a walk and gain knowledge, even without hunting.

In the Hunter's Lodge at the Gathering House.

Hayata hummed an out-of-tune ditty as she packed her luggage for going out.

Perhaps because of the psychological shadow left by her previous encounter with the Canghuolong, she now habitually puts a Chinese herbal medicine in the corner of the item bag, plus a secret medicine that Gordon gave her during the dinner last night.

It will feel a lot more at ease.

After checking the luggage and necessary props, carefully equipping the female Charmander armor, and hanging the flying dragon sword [Aoi] obliquely behind her back, Hayata walked out of the hut in a relaxed mood.

It was still early morning.

There were not many hunters in the hall of the assembly hall. Those who stayed in the tavern area at this time were either those who got up early to have breakfast, or those who hadn't woken up after drinking over the night.

Carefully bypassing a big sister who was snoring on the ground holding a wine bottle, Hayata came to Gordon and Pig Chop who were waving at her.

"Good morning, Senior Gordon, and pork chops."

"Morning meow!"

"Morning, you look good." Gordon pushed a bowl of oatmeal with dried fruit in front of Hayata.

Hayata finished eating in a whirlwind, then took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth gracefully.

"Have you eaten? It's almost time, let's go to the airship ping."

"Good~!"

The air journey from East Doruma City to the port of Tangia took three days and two nights.

Gordon was once again impressed by the convenient air traffic system in East Doruma.

If it takes at least a month to travel by sea like Anshir and the others, if they walk, the time may be three to four times longer.

When the airship landed, the prosperous port of Tangia gradually appeared in sight.

Hayata acted like a child who went out to make friends, not too much to yell, but it was true that everything was novel.

Gordon was also attracted by the huge stone pillars standing tall on the sea not far from the port.

These are the "Lighthouses of Exorcism", the famous landmarks of the port of Tangia. The fires on the tops of the stone towers are always bright, guiding the ships to return safely in the dark night and wind and rain.

As a port and a trading city, Tangia Port naturally also has a hunter's gathering place.

After getting off the airship, Gordon inquired a little, and got the location of the meeting place, and walked there with Hariyata and pork chops.

The Tangia hunters' meeting place was very close to the port, and it was set up next to the trestle by the sea. What surprised Gordon and the others most was that the meeting place here was actually open-air.

Sailors, businessmen, and hunters come and go, shouting and laughing, regardless of each other, which is another lively atmosphere different from Dongduoluma.

"Hahaha! A hunter I have never seen before, come and have a drink with the old man! Ton, ton, ton!"

A hearty laugh accompanied by the sound of swallowing wine came from the direction of the counter.

Gordon and Hayata turned their heads and found that it was an old man of the dragon tribe standing on the counter table with his hips pouring wine.

He is also an old man of the dragon race, and he is different from the plain attire of the village head of Kokot or the director of the East Doruma Guild.

He wore a white hat with a large brim on his head, a blue cape on his back, and an upturned mustache. He was imposing and arrogant.

"Puff! Pour the wine, pour the wine!" The old man slammed his wine glass on the table and shouted loudly.

A blond-haired kanban girl in a blue sailor suit trotted all the way to the old man, bowing and apologizing to Gordon and the others.

"Sorry, sorry! Please don't mind the two, the president is drunk again!"

"What nonsense! Cathy! Pour the old man quickly, ha! Fill it up!" The old man shook his body and continued to knock on the glass.

The blond kanban lady named Cathy heard the words, turned around and put her hands on her hips, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "President! You can't drink any more, you are already drunk!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I won't get drunk for a thousand cups! Lift!"

"Hey!!" Cathy hurriedly covered the hem of her skirt, her face turning red.

"Hahaha! I saw it, it's blue and white stripes!"

"boom!"

A huge round-headed copper hammer was swung in a circle, and the "Master Chairman" was thrown flying, drawing a parabola in the air, flying over the trestle bridge, and finally fell into the sea. (Note ①)

Gordon: "."

The one wielding the hammer was another black-haired girl in a sailor suit. She put the hammer on her shoulders and gracefully raised her skirt, "I'm Alina. Sorry, I made you laugh."

"It's really energetic. By the way, is the old gentleman okay?" Gordon asked with a dry smile.

"It's okay, it's not once or twice." The black-haired Alina held a hammer and said very scary words.

After walking back to the counter, she put the copper hammer next to a huge gong, and Elena turned around with a sweet commercial smile on her face.

"You two, is there anything I can do for you?"

What happened just now made Gordon forget for a moment what he was here for, and Hayata next to him answered, "We want to inquire about something."

"Cough, cough, what's the matter, the old man knows about the port of Tangia."

I don't know when he crawled out of the sea, and the old dragonman, who was sober from the wine, took off his big-brimmed hat and wringed the water, while muttering, he returned to his beloved counter table.

"My head hurts, what happened just now, why is the old man in the sea"

Gordon glanced at the expressionless Alina from the corner of his eye, and selectively ignored the old dragonman's questions. After sorting out his sentences, he explained the purpose of his visit, "Hello, Mr. President, we are from Dongdolu Mar hunter.

We would like to inquire whether a heavy crossbow envoy named Anshir and a shield ax envoy named Fengying have come to Tangia Port recently? "

The old dragon man rubbed his swollen head, "Anxier, Fengying? I don't seem to have any impression."

"It's Anshir Sterling who follows the Sterling Chamber of Commerce, and a silly...well, I mean a naive and lively girl from the Dragon Race?"

Gordon looked back in some surprise.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man of the dragon race who was dressed in the national costume of the Western Continent, carrying a black scabbard dagger, and had impressively rough eyebrows.

Cathy and Alina who were behind the counter bowed together, and the old dragon man also waved his big-brimmed hat to greet the man.

"Hi, it's them." Gordon nodded his chin to the visitor, "My name is Gordon, and I'm their friend. Do you know where they are staying?"

"Unfortunately, they left with the ship of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce a few days ago. Judging from the direction the ship is sailing, it seems that they are planning to go east?"

"Did you remember correctly, they should have gone west." Gordon responded to the man's temptation with a smile.

"Hahaha, I misremembered or I misremembered, Gordon, who was facing the storm, and the little girl Fengying mentioned you, but I didn't expect to meet you in a few days.

It's fate to meet each other. Shall we have a drink together? "

"OK!"

Gordon had a hearty smile on his face, but he was sighing in his heart.

Fengying's big mouth.
