Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

To be honest, Jianmaowan's imitation of a wealthy businessman is not in place.

In Gordon's view, a wealthy merchant belongs to the kind of person who looks heroic but is actually shrewd, while Jian Maowan feels more like a passionate young knight.

Perhaps in the eyes of the latter, that's the case with the squinting-eyed dragon-human uncle.

The trading ship departs.

Gordon learned from the chat with Jianmao Maru that this ship regularly travels between Moga Village and Tangia Port, and is an important, even the only bridge for the isolated overseas Moga Village to communicate with the outside world.

The seafood produced in Mojia Village needs to be transported to Tangia Port by trading ships, and when returning, the ships will be full of various daily necessities ordered by the villagers.

The trading route is single and the distance is short, so there is actually no profit in this round-trip.

However, the wealthy merchant still arranges this trading ship to go back and forth all year round. The main reason is that the old village head of Mojia Village used to be a hunting partner with him.

Thanks to his efforts, the high-quality catches of Moga Village, as well as by-products such as pearls, have opened up the market in Tangia Port.

Even in the future after they passed away, this line should always exist.

This incident made Gordon's perception of luxury businessmen a little better.

—at least a loyal fellow.

The straight-line distance from Tangia Port to the isolated island is not far, about two to three hundred kilometers, and it took two days for the trading ship to arrive at Moga Village, which is located in the southern bay of the isolated island.

This was Gordon's first visit to Moga Village.

Similar to what he imagined, this is a small fishing village that is far from prosperous.

There are many fishing boats docked beside the simple pier made of wooden boards. The plank road connects the pier with several large reefs nearby, forming the foundation of the village. The houses of the villagers are built on these reefs.

Perhaps because of the abundance of fish, although Mojia Village is remote, it is not dilapidated.

The fishermen and villagers who come and go are strong and vigorous, and they all have satisfied smiles on their faces. It is a village full of vitality.

"He's back!"

Back in her familiar hometown, the quiet and bookish Aisha also became excited. She was the first to jump off the trading boat and happily greeted the familiar villagers by the pier.

"Meow appeared in the dialect." Pig Chop muttered.

"It's little Aisha!"

"Wow! What a beautiful dress, Aisha has completely turned into a girl in the city!"

"Ai Xia comes to Er's house for dinner at night, and Er asks your aunt to stew crab soup!"

The nearby villagers gathered around and chattered.

Pig Chop scratched his beard, "It feels like there are a lot of Azimeows."

"What is dialect meow?" Pandan, who left the desert for the first time, looked at everything around her curiously, especially the rows of dried fish and shrimps on the bamboo racks on the bank.

"It's the 'me' meow you often say."

"I understand meow, it's like the 'below' meow that Senior Pig Chop likes to say!"

"'Zaixia' is not meow, the 'zaixia' used here is a polite term meow."

"It's meow!"

Ever since Pandan became Hayata's hunting cat, Pig Chop liked to preach to it as a senior, and Panlan also liked to argue, so they often bickered.

Ignoring the meowing of the two Ailu cats all the way.

Under the guidance of Jian Maomaru, Gordon and Hayata met the village head of Mojia Village who was sitting cross-legged and fishing at the end of a plank road.

It was an old human being wearing only a loincloth and a cape.

"Hunters from East Doruma? You are welcome."

The old village head's common language is very standard, "Thank you very much for sending Ai Xia home. Although the child loves to read, he is sometimes a little rash, which is worrying."

Gordon exchanged a few words with him briefly, and after introducing himself, he explained the purpose of his visit.

"Mr. Village Chief, I heard that on this isolated island near Mojia Village, a material called 'Ancient Shark Skin' can be obtained.

We would like to ask you about this material and the corresponding monster. If you agree, we hope to obtain your hunting permission. "

Mojia Village is remote and has not yet set up a special hunter gathering place. As the head of the village, the village head has the right to issue tasks and approve some hunting behaviors that are not excessive.

"The skin of the ancient shark?" The village chief was obviously taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked: "Can you ask me more, what do you need the skin of the ancient shark for?

As far as I know, there are relatively few pieces of equipment that can use this material. "

Hayata took over and said: "Mr. Village Chief, we have obtained a blueprint for making the Nanman Knife from Mr. Haoshang. This material will be used in the production and subsequent enhancement of the Nanman Knife."

The village chief held his forehead and sighed, "I knew it, that guy"

Gordon had a bad feeling.

"About half a month ago, a villager reported to me that in the waters a little north of the isolated island, there were sharks, which is the current name of the ancient shark. There were more sharks, and fishing in the sea became dangerous.

It just so happened that that guy came to visit me in Mojia Village on a trading ship a few days ago, so I mentioned this matter to him. "

Gordon's mouth twitched.

More than half a month ago, wasn't that the time when they had just arrived at Tangia Port, and then a wealthy businessman approached them and used the blueprint of the Nanman knife as a "bait" to trick them into going to Locklark to participate in the feast.

Was it still calculated? !

Noticing Gordon's expression was wrong, the village chief coughed lightly and said, "That guy was always like this when he was young, calculating and calculating. I apologize to you on his behalf."

The village chief lowered his head and continued: "If you want to refuse, please don't be burdened, it is quite dangerous to deal with multiple sharks in the water at the same time.

It just so happened that a hunter who walked out of the village will come back in the next few days, so I asked him to go there.

Of course, if you are still willing to crusade against sharks, I will also issue you a receipt for the crusade mission, and calculate the reward according to the regulations. "

Gordon and Hariyata looked at each other.

To be honest, although they were calculated again, compared to the previous commercial purpose, the reason this time made them a little angry.

After exchanging a few words in a low voice, Gordon said: "You don't need to apologize, Mr. Village Chief, we will be responsible for hunting down sharks, which is also the goal of our trip."

"It's really troublesome for you." The village chief bowed his head again and thanked him.

Tired of bickering, he finally chose to suppress it by force, and the pork chop that knocked Pandan off a head suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Village Chief, the hunter you are talking about is Azimeow?"

He also quite likes the spear user who is keen on catching "fish", is good at cooking all kinds of fish dishes, and always has a fishy smell on his body.

The village head was startled, "Do you know Azi?"

Gordon also smiled. He nodded and said, "I traveled with Kulbutios Wetland for a while, and hunted the Emerald Water Dragon together. Very interesting guy."

"Really, I'm relieved that the child is fine."

"I seem to hear someone calling me?" A green head like a water ghost suddenly poked out from the sea beside the trestle bridge.

"Meow!" Pandan's whole cat flew up in fright.

At that moment, Hayata had the urge to draw his sword.

"Az?!" Gordon shouted in surprise.

A fisherman with skin-like emerald green tight scale armor and a strange hood crawled out of the water. The scene was really scary.

The village chief knocked Aziz on the head with his fishing rod angrily: "Don't play tricks, take off the helmet quickly, it's creepy."

Aziz took off his helmet, revealing a brown face and big white teeth, "Hello, village chief! Hahaha, and Gordon and pork chop, when did you come to Mojia?"
