Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

A group of people went to the public tavern.

It's not to drink, they don't have the leisure and mood to drink now, but the studio where the master most often stays is in the basement of the tavern.

Regardless of the atmosphere outside, the inside of the tavern is always lively. Most of the hunters are optimists, and they won't frown because of a mysterious monster that hasn't even shown itself.

Seeing Gordon and the others coming in, there were quite a few people who toasted and greeted them. Some even called Anshir a "rich man", which made the latter's face extremely dark.

He intends to take revenge.

After you have some leisure time, find someone to give Gail a nickname as well. What should I call him, poor ghost? Cat head? Nema's?

No one knew Anshir's dark thoughts, Gordon was familiar with the road, and soon brought everyone to the master's studio.

Knocking on the door, and hearing the response from inside, Gordon smiled and pushed the door open, "Master, I'm coming to see you!"

"Teacher meow!"

"It really is you." The master craftsman who was modifying a certain blueprint raised his head.

Several other people greeted each other, and the master also said "Welcome" with a smile.

Habitually wanting to hand something over, he suddenly realized that he hadn't prepared any presents. Gordon scratched his neck in embarrassment, "I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything."

The master waved his hand, "It means you are always so polite, cough cough cough... Julius never thinks about these things, everyone find a place to sit.

You are here to inquire about the latest situation, right? Is Yanhuo Village doing well? "

As a senior member of the guild, Master was present when the Great Elder ordered Yinbian to rush back to East Doruma.

Gordon and the others briefly talked about Xiayanhuo Village. The master was silent for a moment and sighed.

"It's a troubled time, ahem, everything is really crowded together."

Gordon's expression also became serious, "It seems that it's just as I guessed, Dongdoruma is so nervous, not just because of the attack and destruction of that small fortress."

"Yeah." The master nodded, pulled up a chair and sat down, "Ahem. In fact, it can be said that the tense atmosphere in East Doruma has nothing to do with the fortress at all."

The few people in front of me are all high-ranking hunters, and the master didn't mean to hide it, after taking a breath, he continued: "Let me start from the beginning.

You should also feel that in recent years, due to unknown reasons, incidents related to ancient dragons have occurred frequently. The Great Elder Keke ordered the local guilds to strengthen and repair the city defenses and fortresses, store supplies, and prepare for possible dangers in the future.

East Doruma is no exception, led by the guild, funded by the royal family, nobles and merchants, to fully renovate East Doruma Battle Street, ahem

This project started a year or two ago, and the city walls are almost completed now, and the final step of replacing and installing defensive weapons is in progress.

The disassembled weapons, including the first-generation dragon gun, were sent to the destroyed small fortress for storage, waiting for follow-up arrangements. "

Hayata got up and poured a glass of warm water for the master.

The craftsman took a sip and continued: "Julius and the others have been busy with this aspect recently, ahem, collection of some special materials, and cleaning of transportation lines."

Hearing this made Gordon a little embarrassed. Compared with his senior brother Julius who often helped the master with things, his second disciple was really a little "jumped" and ran around.

Fortunately, the master didn't mean to insinuate him. Julius was mentioned because of another matter.

"During this process, they found some, ahem, ahem... found some traces of the Kuanglong virus."

"What?!" The one who reacted the most among the crowd was Hayata.

During the period of traveling with the brigade, she had almost been fighting various monsters infected with the mad dragon virus, so she naturally knew how dangerous those things were.

"But, isn't the Tianzhulong already solved?" Hayata pointed at Anshir, precisely pointing at the Tianzhulong armor on Anshir's body.

At that time, in order to prevent Tian Hailong from being revived again, they deliberately burned the corpse to ashes.

"Professors from the Institute of Mad Dragon Disease believe that there are two possibilities, ahem, one is that there are other black dragons and even sky dragons in the world.

The second is that the death of the original body does not mean that the virus spores will also die, and the infected monsters will still infect each other. "

Hayatta fell silent.

"Don't worry." The master comforted her, "The guild has also arranged for hunters to follow up on this matter, ahem. The reappearance of the mad dragon virus can only be regarded as a small part of the recent troubles at best."

Hayatta: "."

You are a real comforter.

"The Gulong Observation Bureau sent an alert two days ago. They observed that a steel dragon active in the Flasia area had entered the 'molting period', which is the so-called rusty steel dragon.

Steel dragons in this period are very irritable and will actively attack large cities.

Some scholars put forward a point of view that the Rusty Steel Dragon's attack on the city was not for predation or other reasons, but to deliberately trigger battles and assist it in shedding its skin. "

"It's like, when some kinds of snakes shed their skin, they rub their bodies against rough and sharp stones?" Anshir asked.

"similar."

The craftsman nodded, "There are quite a few people who support this point of view, if you think about it from this perspective, cough cough cough

The city it is most likely to attack is East Doruma, which is not too far from the Frasia region and has a fighting street.

After all, that guy also came here ten years ago. "

Hearing the last half of the sentence, Gordon was startled, and looked up at the master, "Is it 'that' steel dragon?!"

"It should be it." The master craftsman didn't show any abnormality.

But Gordon knew that the steel dragon was the chief culprit for Master's serious injury and retirement, and it was also Julius' "heart knot".

That guy Julius probably didn't know about the news, otherwise he would have rushed back to East Doruma as soon as possible, sharpening his knife and preparing to go to war.

"Wait." Anshir suddenly raised a possibility, "You just said that the steel dragon might attack, so could it be the steel dragon that attacked the fortress?"

It was Kurt Aiz who answered this question, "At first we also guessed this way, but after investigation, it doesn't feel like it should be.

Steel dragons belong to the ancient dragons that come and go frequently, and the research on its ecology by the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau is relatively thorough.

Although they are called 'steel dragons', they do not have the habit of eating steel. If the attackers were steel dragons, the disappearance of steel weapons, dragon-striking guns and other steel creations cannot be explained. "

Gordon rubbed his forehead, "So there are three problems that the headquarters needs to face, the mad dragon disease of unknown origin, the steel dragon that may attack at any time, and the unknown mysterious monster that attacks the fortress and is suspected to be a mantis?"

The master sighed, "There are four, and there is another biggest trouble that you have ignored. Ahem, I just mentioned that the facilities on the Battle Street in East Doruma are being replaced and upgraded.

The new dragon-slaying gun that has been stepped up to be installed is still in the running-in and debugging stage, and the "Dragon Slayer Cannon", the ultimate weapon against ancient dragons, has not yet been fully completed.

Cough cough cough. At this moment, Dongdoruma can't be said to be completely defenseless, but it is also in a state of lack of defense. "

The hunters looked at each other, no wonder the air pressure around the old man was so low when they met the elder.

It turns out that the pressure is all in his heart and brain vessels.

"In terms of defense line preparation, is there anything we can help with?" Hayata asked with some concern.

The master smiled at her, "Ahem. No need, the guild is trying to mobilize more forces. Right now, you just need to do what you have to do, which is to find out the real body of the monster that attacked the fortress."

Ps.

The plot of 4G is reorganized and mixed (adaptation is inevitable), it can be understood that the original plot is happening, but the protagonist and others are not following the original plot, but are working hard in other directions.

Of course, there may be some intersections.

This is a large and comprehensive incident, and it is impossible to rely on one person or a few people to solve all the problems.

Whether it is the writers or the protagonists of this book, they are just a part of the big event.
