Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The Locklark guildmaster organized a meeting.

Participants included the captain of the ship, the anthropologists of Wang Li's Paleontological Scholars Team, the local dragon researcher of the Gulong Observation Bureau, the leader of the guerrillas in the city, and representatives of the citizens.

Due to his high level of hunter, Gordon was also drawn to participate as an important force in the attacking team.

The guild leader no longer smiled as usual, and the narrow corners of his eyes even gave people a "sharp" feeling.

Even Aisha who brought tea couldn't attract his attention.

He got straight to the point, "In previous years, the monsoon came mostly in the middle to middle to late October, and rarely in the late October.

And now it's November, and the monsoon still hasn't come, what do you think? "

The representative of the town was a potbellied spice merchant.

He stroked his meticulously combed beard, and there seemed to be some disapproval in his eyes.

In his opinion, the guild leader is making a big fuss. The monsoon comes a few days earlier, and it is up to God to come a few days later, so what's the point?

He also wished that the monsoon would come a few days later so that the Harvest Festival could be extended for a while longer.

There are many people, it is lively, and the business is easy to do, how good is it?

As for Fengshanlong, would it become more powerful as the monsoon comes a few days later? It's been fine for so many years, what's there to worry about?

Of course, he dared not say these words in front of the guild leader.

Any businessman with a bit of reputation in Locklark knows that this little man will have "energy" in trade.

If you offend him, your own chamber of commerce can also prepare to close down.

The Scholars team and the two scholars from the Gulong Observation Bureau looked much more serious.

"In theory, occasional monsoon delays are not uncommon, but it is difficult for us to determine whether this climate anomaly will cause more direct and serious impacts."

The anthropologist frowned and said, "After all, this is not an ordinary monsoon, but a monsoon that descends with Fengshanlong."

The dragon-human scholar nodded in agreement, "Whether the Fengshan dragon came with the monsoon, or the existence of the Fengshan dragon brought the monsoon, this point has not yet been determined.

If it is the latter, it means that there is an abnormality in the migration of Fengshanlong. This is not something that can be summed up hastily by saying 'the monsoon is late'. "

Gordon, wearing a helmet, folded his arms and nodded slowly.

Although he didn't know why he nodded.

I just feel that the two old scholars seem to have said something very important, but they seem to have said nothing

At this time, the head of the ship said, "We have searched through all the records and materials left by the heads of the previous sandy ship groups.

In the past two hundred years, the monsoon, or the situation that Fengshanlong did not appear until November, has only appeared once, and that was 120 to 30 years ago. "

"So what happened then?" the anthropologist asked eagerly.

The captain of the ship took out the notes that were aging and scattered, and said helplessly: "I don't know, the key pages of the book are damaged and lost, and we don't even know the exact year.

The approximate time was obtained by rummaging through the warehouse, the succession and replacement documents of the captains of the previous generations. "

The guild leader added: "Moreover, we know from the few words at the end of the notes that the casualties of the Sand Fleet Group were very serious that year.

This is one of the main reasons why the captain and I were nervous. "

"The information from more than a hundred years ago? It's too old."

The dragon-human scholar frowned, "In the past, the management of Loklark was chaotic, and it was difficult to keep the materials for such a long time, but there may still be archives in the headquarters of East Doruma and the archives of the large library.

Have you sent a letter to assist with the investigation? "

"certainly."

The guild leader nodded and said: "Just after confirming the approximate age of the notes yesterday, the letter has already been sent by a peregrine falcon. The journey is far away, and it may take a few days before there is an answer."

The anthropologist of the scriveners team answered: "Although the hope is slim, the scriveners will still try their best to search for past documents, hoping to get some clues."

"Please."

The guildmaster turned his head to look at the dragonman scholars of the Gulong Observation Bureau, "I hope you can send out all the observation balloons, with Loklark as the center, and spread them around to look for possible anomalies.

Once you find something, immediately report it with a peregrine falcon. "

Theoretically, the Gulong Observation Bureau and the Hunter's Guild are equal organizations, and the former does not need to obey the latter's instructions.

But the dragon-human scholar knew that now is not the time to care about these things, he nodded his chin, and readily agreed: "I will arrange it."

Gordon raised his hand now.

"I have a suggestion. Since the situation is serious, should the high-ranking hunters be organized, just in case?"

The guildmaster knocked on his forehead when he heard the words, "Yes, I almost forgot about them, Aisha, go to the kanban girls to check, which high-ranking hunters are still in Locklark."

"Okay President." Miss Ai Xia, who was standing by the table like a secretary, left in a hurry.

"Is there a need for martial law in the city?" The person in charge of the walled city guerrillas asked a black-faced strong man who looked like a sand bandit with two knives on his back.

"No need." The guild leader immediately shook his head, "Don't cause panic, citizens, tourists and businessmen flee in chaos when Fengshan dragon strikes, it is the most dangerous.

But be prepared to organize and avoid danger at any time. The giant rock platform is strong enough. As long as the citizens hide in the city well, they will not be in danger. "

"clear."

After discussing a few key points about organizing and avoiding risks, Aisha trotted all the way back.

She reported to the president: "The seven-star sledgehammer Mary Dan, the six-star bow hunter Abel, and the six-star long spear Hisham, these three are currently in the city of Locklark."

Gordon grinned.

Good guy, a female seven-star sledgehammer is really rare, and I don't know what kind of female warrior she is.

"Send someone to find them, and let them come here as soon as possible." The guildmaster ordered with his head turned.

"Okay." Aisha trotted away again.

"Should I organize them into the sand fleet and participate in the subsequent counterattack?" The guild leader looked at the captain of the ship, "Don't worry about the 'cost-effectiveness' issue, money is a trivial matter right now."

——He is not good at commanding battles, and the guild leader doesn't want to make random decisions.

The captain of the ship hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, joining the sand ship regiment requires a break-in, and Gordon Hayata and the others also trained for half a month before they were qualified.

Mary Dan has stayed in the boat regiment, so it's okay.

However, the heavy bed crossbows, artillery and dragon guns of the sandy fleet are the main weapons, and their addition will not significantly improve the strength of the fleet.

not as good as"

"If you have any ideas, just say it."

"I suggest that the high-ranking hunters can join in the preliminary reconnaissance work. I will send three fastest sand boats to carry them to the direction where Fengshan Dragon may attack to conduct active reconnaissance.

Once you find something, report back immediately.

Of course, the hot air balloons of the Gulong Observatory are also doing similar work, but the perspectives in the air and on the ground are different, which may make up for the loopholes.

Using high-level hunters like this may be a waste of their combat power, but the opponent is an ancient dragon, and ordinary hunters may not be able to do scouting work. "

"Then do as you say!" the guildmaster said.
