Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon, who has a hero-level protective stone and has no pursuit of the protective stone, is a little moved at this time.

He had hoarded too many monster materials in the storage boxes in East Doruma and the residence in Berna Village.

From the skin of the most common big wild boar, to materials for large flying dragons such as booming dragons and male fire dragons, there are everything. There are also materials for ancient dragons, such as the crystals of Lingshan dragon. Of course, the last ones are the bottom of the box.

Except for a few materials that are especially cherished or have special functions, such as the materials needed to make jewelry beads, most of the materials can only be locked in the cabinet to shed dust.

Or send it to the guild recycling merchant and exchange it for money.

However, the high-level hunters are basically not short of money

It is a brand-new option of "waste utilization" to bet on the protective stone, but it is a pity that these materials cannot be transported for a while, otherwise, if you refine a hundred or eighty of them in one go, how can you get two good ones, right?

It's just that the little fat man in front of him might be exhausted to death.

After teasing the little dragon-human alchemist and the huge frog on his head for a while, Hayata and Fengying came back in a hurry.

They didn't know which villager they borrowed a wooden cart, which was full of various materials.

Among them, only a small pile of armored dragon materials are Fengying, and the rest are all harvested by Hayata's practice with the brigade for more than a year.

"Are you kidding me? Why are there so many?!" The little fat man flinched.

"You have already agreed, the chief alchemist of Sinard Village, the 14th generation of the Maca Alchemy House." Hayata turned the cart with a smile, and dumped the huge pile of materials in front of the alchemist.

".Got it. Give me three to four days. I'll refine them into protective stones first."

A few days of idleness were spent in the village of Sinard.

Gordon and the others thought about exploring Sky Mountain, a rarely visited hunting ground, as Fengying suggested before.

But considering the existence of the restricted area, in order to avoid suspicion, they chose to stay in the village obediently.

The head of the group also said that the Isana will stay in Sinard Village for a week. If things don't turn around, it's time to consider disbanding the brigade or finding another travel destination.

A few days later, in front of Maca's alchemy house, Gordon and others saw a haggard little alchemist.

The thick dark circles under the eyes made people suspect that the little fat man hadn't slept in the past few days, and the chubby cheeks were a little sagging, and Hayata felt a little embarrassed.

"These are all the products. Well, they haven't undergone the second alchemy of ancient alchemy. Let's have a look first."

The little alchemist brought out a wooden tray, on which were placed twelve or thirteen protective stones of different sizes and shapes.

"That's all?" Feng Ying stared, "So many materials for four- and five-star monsters can be used as equipment to equip a four-person hunting group, and these ten or so have been refined?!"

Gordon was also a little surprised. He didn't think that the little alchemist would be greedy for Mohayata and the others' materials, but the conversion rate of using monster materials to bet on the protective stone was far lower than he thought.

It’s no wonder that betting guard stones can’t become the mainstream. Most people still have to honestly bring their picks and go to ruins like volcanoes to knock them one by one.

"That's all!" The tired little fat man exclaimed angrily: "The process of using alchemy to smelt monster materials into protective stones, to put it bluntly, is to extract the energy in monster materials and condense and solidify them.

For example, the energy required to manufacture a city fortress-level protective stone is at least 300 units, and the energy of a fire dragon scale is 20 units, then at least 15 scales or materials with corresponding energy are required to have, can, can, and condense Out of the king's level of protection stone.

Considering the energy loss in the process of refining and condensing, the amount of consumed materials will double again.”

"Okay, okay." Feng Ying, who had a headache, interrupted the little alchemist's long speech, "I misunderstood you, let's just look at the results!"

"snort!"

The little fat man snorted, and first took out two protective stones, one large and one small, "These two are yours, luck is so-so, one is knight-level and the other is fortress-level.

The protections are [Water Attribute Resistance] and [Sleep Resistance].

Although the strength of the protection is not high, and its versatility is not strong, at least it has no negative effects, and it can still play a role when dealing with some special monsters.

If you sell it directly, you should be able to exchange some money. "

Fengying's expression was subtle.

She didn't know whether she should be happy or not, the things weren't too bad, they belonged to the most common type of protective stones, but she didn't seem to need them?

She looked at Gordon subconsciously, and Gordon shrugged, "You can sell it, or you can melt it with ancient alchemy. It's not a rare thing. You can decide by yourself."

Fengying gritted her teeth and said, "Gamble, help me use ancient alchemy!"

"Gah!"

The frog on the little alchemist's head stuck out its tongue and rolled the two protective stones into its mouth.

This big frog seems to be the little alchemist's alchemy assistant?

"And there is this sister."

The little fat man looked at Hayata, "This sister's luck is really good, and the quality of the materials provided is also high. Two fighter stones, two knight stones, three city fort stones, and one queen stone , two king stones.

Well, there’s nothing fancy about fighter knight-level amulets, you can do whatever you want with them. There’s a pretty good one among the city fortress amulets. The protection is [heat resistance], and the level is not low. Wearing this amulet to go to the desert shouldn’t be necessary. Drink a cold drink. If you go to the volcano, you may not be able to bear it in a particularly hot place.

My suggestion is to keep the [Heat Resistant] stone in the city fortress, and the other two stones have more serious negative effects and have no meaning, so they can be smelted. "

"Um."

Hayata was kind, and put away the chestnut-sized heat-resistant stone.

"The remaining three are the key." The little alchemist picked out the three most dazzling protective stones, and poured the rest into the frog's mouth.

"Even if you don't look at the attributes, the energy levels contained in the Queen's Amulet and the King's Amulet are not low. Even if they can't be used, they are still good materials for performing ancient alchemy.

Let’s look at this queen-level protective stone first. The protection is [wind pressure resistance]. Fire attribute resistance will be significantly reduced. "

Hayata did not pick up the protective stone, the meaning was obvious.

Useless things, melted!

"Croak!" The big frog licked away the queen-level protective stone.

"The protective effect of this king-level protective stone is [hearing protection], which is often called earplugs. The protection level is quite high and has no negative effects.

Even the roar of a large wyvern like a wyvern can be suppressed by it.

Moreover, the structure of this protective stone is relatively good, and a decorative bead can be inlaid without affecting the effect of its own protection.

I don’t really recommend using ancient alchemy to smelt this one, it’s pretty good in itself.”

Hayata said happily: "Senior Gordon, you can use this protective stone!"

Gordon couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice.

His previous Canghuolong armor had the effect of ear plugs, and to be honest, he really missed it.

Unlike equipment armor and monster materials, protective stones and decorative beads are allowed to be traded or gifted.

Noticing Gordon's heartbeat, Hayata directly picked up the protective stone and stuffed it into Gordon's hand.

The ear plug protector can also be used as a Taisword user, but this kind of protection effect is more obvious for the Great Swordsman.

Having ear plugs meant that while monsters were roaring, they could take the opportunity to prepare for a powerful slash, which was quite a practical protection.

Gordon hesitated for a moment before accepting the gift.

Naturally, this protective stone was not as good as his own hero-level protective stone, but if he planned to hunt some monsters that were good at roaring, such as Booming Dragon, this protective stone might be more suitable.

"There is also the last king-level protective stone, the protective effect is [evasion distance], which allows the wearer to flash a longer distance under evasive actions such as rolling and sliding, and the protective strength is also very high.

The fly in the ointment is that it has negative effects, and the person who wears it will be more likely to be dizzy, uh (qi-death). "

Speaking of this, the little alchemist struggled for a while before continuing: "This protective stone is large in size and has a good structure. Maybe it can make two inlay holes and remove the negative protection at the same time.

I'd rather suggest smelting, but to be honest, I'm not so sure.

The energy level of the king's protection stone is already very high, and to make it further, some higher energy substances are needed, such as the energy crystals in some monsters. "

"You mean Longyu?" Fengying asked with blinking eyes.

"Something like that."

"Believe Kiranai, the cost is so high, what if the smelting fails?" Fengying asked.

"Of course, even the protective stone and materials are gone." The little fat man rubbed his cheeks, "That's why I said it, and I didn't say it with confidence."

Several people looked at Hayatta.

Hayata thought for a while, and said: "Let's smelt it, although this protective stone is not bad, but the negative effects are too obvious, so it is not suitable for use.

For high-energy matter, wait a moment."

Hayata left for a moment, and when she came back, she brought back a black-purple crystal-like substance.

"Mr. Alchemist, can you see this?"

The little alchemist took the crystal, went back to his alchemy studio to inspect it, poked his head out of the door frame and said, "It should be possible! Although it feels a bit ominous, it has a high energy density and can be used as a material.

By the way, what is this? It's not like a naturally occurring mineral, it's the first time I've seen it. "

Hayata replied with a smile: "I'm not too sure. It was taken from an infected monster, and the guild confiscated some of the samples. Scholars call this 'Crazy Dragon Crystal'."
