Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After clearing the hunter's hut that had been lost for almost a year, I packed up all the materials and personal items in the storage box, and asked the caravan to send them out.

Before dawn, Gordon quietly left the hunter's gathering place with his pork chops and light clothes.

There is no need to say hello to my friends. At the farewell reception last night, everything that needs to be said has been said. At this time, I just need to set off quietly.

"Where are we going now, meow?"

The pork chop carrying its own small package noticed that the direction they were heading at this time was not the route to Sunrise City, so it couldn't help asking in doubt.

"West of the city, let's go to the west of the city to take the airship."

"Airship meow?! We're going to take an airship to the volcano this time meow?" Pig Chop pricked up his ears excitedly.

Gordon, who was also riding an airship for the first time, was equally excited.

"Yes! The president told me yesterday that an airship from the Scholars team will go to Naguli today. If necessary, you can take her letter of introduction to hitchhike!"

One person and one cat almost trotted all the way to the airship platform in the west of the city. It was a huge platform composed of two high stone platforms about two stories high.

The gondola of the airship is fixed between the two stone platforms by steel cables, and the airbag is floating above the stone platform. Two technicians are climbing on it with the help of cables, adjusting the propeller and rudder.

Slightly different from the observation hot air balloons that are occasionally seen in hunting grounds, airships are larger and more complex in structure.

The huge gondola looks like a wooden sea ship, the airbags and slings replaced the original sail mast, intricate cables, power mechanisms, auxiliary sails, and all kinds of strange devices that are unknown Explain that this thing is much more complicated and advanced than those sailboats.

"Wow~!" Looking at the airship, Gordon couldn't help exclaiming inexplicably.

"Oh meow!" The pork chop is the same.

"Haha, she is Yunfei, a pretty beauty, right?"

Laughing and coming to Gordon's side, it was a muscular, dark-skinned middle-aged man. His hands and feet were thick, and his canvas sleeves and trousers were tied with string, giving him a neat and sophisticated look.

"Ah, hello, yes, she is extremely beautiful." Gordon looked at the airship in front of him and admired it sincerely.

The man was very satisfied with Gordon's heartfelt praise. He took the initiative to shake hands with Gordon, and introduced himself: "I am the operator of this airship. Everyone calls me Old Hei, a young hunter. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Gordon was not surprised that the other party could call out his occupation. After all, only hunters in this world would run around wearing heavy armor all day long.

"My name is Gordon, and I'm going to Naguli Village. The president told me that I might be able to hitch a ride. Oh, yes, this is my letter of introduction." After speaking, Gordon handed over the president to him. handed over the scroll.

The old black middle-aged man glanced at Gordon in surprise. After taking the scroll, he didn't open it directly, but turned around and yelled in the direction of the pod:

"Professor! Professor! Come here, there is a hunter holding a letter of introduction from President Vatican!"

"boom!"

A flap on the pod deck was pushed open, and a short figure came out, climbed onto the side of the ship two or three times, and then slid along the fixed cable hanging on the pod to the rock where Gordon and the others were. on stage.

It wasn't until he came in front of him that Gordon saw clearly that this was a short old man barely reaching his thigh.

Pointed ears and recurved feet showed his identity as a dragon.

The wrinkled face and thin body made him look almost as old as the old village chief of Cocot Village, but his incredible agility was no worse than any hunter Gordon knew.

He seemed to be in a hurry, before Lao Hei handed him the scroll, he jumped half a meter high and snatched the scroll.

Unrolling the scroll with a "swish", it took him almost two or three seconds to read it all.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped in front of Gordon again, and saw him pull down some kind of optical instrument composed of many glass lenses and fine metal parts attached to the top of his head, put it on in front of his eyes, and looked at Gordon.

Lenses of different sizes were constantly switching under the adjustment of the professor. Gordon watched his eyes zoom in and out for a while through the lenses.

"Yeah, the letter of introduction is fine, so it's okay to give you a ride. The little girl Fanti said that you are from Kokot Village. Is that old guy okay?"

The old dragon man called "Professor" by Lao Hei speaks very fast and moves very fast. It feels like a tin toy that has been wound up too much, and even a little neurotic.

The "old guy" in the professor's mouth obviously refers to the old village head, who is also an old dragon tribe, and the slow-moving old village head is simply two extremes.

"The village chief is pretty good, but in recent years he has been a bit of an old man, I mean he feels in a daze."

"He pretended."

The professor interrupted Gordon's words with a wave of his hand, and commented unceremoniously: "When you have dementia, that old guy who likes to waste his life will not be demented. Obviously, he can use his limited life to explore the infinite mysteries of this world. , I don’t know what he is doing in that small village all day long.”

Gordon twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to answer, feeling a little toothache.

"The departure time is coming soon, you two big and three rough don't waste your time here, quickly move supplies for me!" The professor jumped on his feet, and his sharp reprimands blurred the faces of Gordon and Old Hei.

"Ah, yes, yes!" Gordon subconsciously stood up straight, trotting along with Lao Hei who was also shaken all the way to work.

"And you!"

The professor turned to the pork chop, which was about the same height as him, "Do you think Elle cat doesn't have to work, and you should hurry up and move the supplies for me!

One more person, one cat plus luggage and equipment counts as a load of 200 kilograms plus corresponding drinking water and dry food. You tell them to prepare at least six more units of burning rock carbon. Remember? Remember to go! "

"Follow me, obey meow!"

When he actually boarded the Yunfei with a bunch of boxes, Gordon once again marveled at the size of the airship.

In his eyes, the Yunfei, which has a ten-meter-long pod and a huge airbag several times the volume of the pod, is of course a giant, but in fact, it can only be regarded as a small one among airships.

As for the real big airships.

The "Fourth New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team" that was discussed among the hunters a while ago took a large airship when they went to the New World.

According to rumors, that kind of airship can carry the people and supplies of the entire village together, and after landing, it will be a complete hunter stronghold with a little construction.

The preparations before departure were in full swing. As for the official take-off of the Yunfei airship, it was already more than an hour later.

During this period of time, as a qualified cow and horse, most of the supplies on the airship were carried by the strong Gordon alone.

Seeing that Gordon was carrying at most one thing, the professor who valued efficiency the most decisively pointed Old Hei to check the airbag and power unit again, but gave the airship platform staff who were originally in charge of moving a holiday.

It’s 200,000 words, and the application for signing the contract still fails. Sigh, it’s a good thing we don’t rely on writing books for a living, otherwise we would have starved to death.

Well, although I may run naked all the time, I will continue to write this book, using love to generate electricity?
