Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Aha! You can see it!" The bearded old man laughed loudly, "It was built just like us, it's very handsome!"

Gordon didn't know how to comment for a while, so he had to pull out a not-so-sincere smile, "Handsome, very handsome."

"Ha! So young man, is there anything you want to come to Naguli Village, yeah? You are a hunter, do you want to mine? Digging stone guards? Or ordering equipment or something, our Naguli craftsmanship is the best in the world Nah!"

It seems to be the habit of old people to laugh before speaking.

He looked at the old man's strong arms covered with burn marks, the dirty blacksmith uniform, and the huge forging hammer that seemed to be able to crush the flying dragon's head with one blow.

Looking at the statue-like workshop door again, Gordon felt that he had guessed the identity of the other party.

According to the owner of the Minagarde Workshop, the head of Naguli Village is a blacksmith whose skills are second to none in the whole continent, and even he is "slightly inferior".

Based on Gordon's understanding of the good-looking old man, this is definitely the highest level of evaluation.

"Excuse me, is this the village chief of Naguli Village?" Gordon bowed politely, "Hi, my name is Gordon, and I'm from Kokot Village.

The owner of the workshop in Minagarde introduced me here. I plan to spend a period of time here to dig some protective stones and ores. Of course, if you need to hunt monsters, you can find me at any time! "

"Oh ha?! Was it introduced by Minagarde's younger brother?" The old man put his hips on his hips and laughed.

Calling the workshop owner "brother" stunned Gordon. The old man is a dragon-human race. Although he looks like a human in his fifties or sixties, his actual age may have passed a hundred years ago.

The old man in front of him is older than him? Is this also a dragon race?

Gordon glanced over the old man's ears, palms and legs without any trace, but it made him feel confused.

The old man's ears and calves were the same as those of ordinary people, so he was obviously not a dragon race, but his huge palm, which was much thicker than ordinary people, had only four fingers, which seemed to be the characteristics of a dragon race.

Sensitively noticing Gordon's gaze, the old man didn't care, and explained with a smile: "Hey, we are the 'Earth Dragon Clan', the aborigines in the volcanic area, and most of the residents in Naguli Village are Earth Dragon Clan."

Gordon scratched his head in embarrassment, "Sorry, this is the first time I've seen the Earth Dragon Clan."

The so-called Earth Dragons, like the Dragons, are a minority of human beings in a broad sense. Their numbers are extremely small. The Earth Dragons are generally short in stature but very strong. Everyone is an excellent blacksmith and shipbuilder.

"It's normal. Our Earth Dragon Clan can't do without magma, so it's hard to see our people in other parts of the mainland." The village chief of the Earth Dragon Clan was rough-looking but very kind, explaining to Gordon patiently.

"I see." Gordon nodded suddenly.

Immediately, he remembered the business again, "Mr. Village Chief, where is the hunter's meeting place in your village? I need to register the base first."

"The meeting place, haha, then we are too familiar, the wine there is delicious, the cold ale and the spicy grilled lizard are a perfect match of art!

Hi, I can't help it! We will take you there now! "The village chief of the Tulong tribe looked like he was about to drool as he spoke.

You obviously want to go to a bar by yourself.

Gordon was still complaining in his heart, and the village head of the Earth Dragon tribe had already shouted into the workshop: "Girl~ girl!! There is a new hunter brother! I will take him to the meeting place tavern to register!"

In less than a second, the same loud female voice came from the workshop, "Huh??! You old man just want to be lazy in broad daylight? Don't go!"

A petite girl who was also wearing a bright yellow blacksmith outfit rushed out of the workshop angrily.

She is less than one hundred and sixty centimeters tall, with light blonde long hair gathered up by a headscarf, and the small freckles around the bridge of her nose not only did not spoil her appearance, but added a bit of lively and enthusiastic temperament.

Facing the angry girl, the village head of the Earth Dragon Tribe shrank his neck and said aggrievedly: "But we really want to drink!"

"It's disgusting for the old man to act like a spoiled child!" The girl waved the forging hammer in her hand, which was bigger than her head, and growled, "I want to drink enough to drink at night! The order of the Baru Barre Grand Ship Group has not been completed yet. Go to work!"

"Then, what about Brother Gordon?" The village head of the Earth Dragon Tribe looked at Gordon expectantly, hoping that the latter would say something nice to him.

"I'll take him to register! If you old guy goes, why don't you give me a drink until dawn?" The girl's stern words interrupted the extravagant hopes of the village chief of the Earth Dragon Tribe.

"Okay, let's go to work." The village head of the Tulong tribe said dejectedly: "Brother Gordon, you must try it, iced ale with spicy grilled lizard!"

Gordon nodded blankly, watching the village chief leave.

"I made you laugh."

The girl put the long-handled forging hammer on her shoulder, and stretched out a hand to Gordon. Her tone was lively and enthusiastic without the previous irritability. Assembly hall."

Gordon stretched out his hand and shook her, "You can just call me Gordon, I am so sorry for you."

The moment the two held hands together, Gordon raised his eyebrows slightly.

The girl's hands were very powerful, which was not surprising to Gordon. People with insufficient wrist strength couldn't swing the hammer. What really surprised him was the size of the girl's palm, which was completely in line with ordinary human standards. It seemed that there were five fingers?

she is human? Is the daughter of the village chief of the Earth Dragon tribe human?

Gordon was a little surprised, but didn't ask further questions.

No wonder, at the age of the village head of the Tulong tribe, it is more than enough to be a grandpa of a young girl. They should not be biological father and daughter, but adopted daughter? Then it's not suitable to talk too much.

The whole Naguli Village was not too big. A few minutes later, Isana brought Gordon to the hunter's gathering place, which was also the only tavern in the village.

The scale of the Naguli Village meeting place is naturally incomparable to that of a big city like Minagald, but it is still very lively.

More than a dozen hunters gathered in the tavern, drinking and chatting, and the waiters brought large glasses of cold ale and sizzling barbecue from time to time, all in full swing.

It seems that no matter where the assembly hall and tavern are, this accent is the same.

Gordon smiled secretly.

"Ah! Isn't this the water beast girl!"

"The water beast girl is coming too! Haha!"

"Morning, water beast girl, no, the sun is almost setting!"

"In Naguli Village, is there a difference between day and night?"

Most of the hunters seem to know Isana very well, and greet her one after another. The strange thing is that no one calls her "Isana", but "Water Beast Girl".

"Get out!"

Isana puffed her cheeks and waved the forging hammer in her hand. Gordon couldn't help but think of the Light Crossbow Maker Usura with that aggressive look.

"Whoever calls us a water beast again, soak your custom-made equipment in sulfuric acid!" The girl stared and cursed loudly.

The hunters knew that she was joking, but they stopped making fun of the "water beast" shamelessly, and a group of people were laughing and laughing, very happy.

"Wow~!" Looking at the iced beer in everyone's hands, Isana couldn't help but take a sip of her saliva.

She smiled at Gordon and said, "The counter is over there, you go to register, let's have a drink or two first!"

Gordon couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, so what if there is no blood relationship? From oral addiction to personality to drinking to fishing, he has never seen a father and daughter who are more similar than the two of them.

"Okay! After I register, I'll treat you to a drink!"

Regarding the name of the water beast girl, I checked the information and found no official name, but later found that the dragon-fighting ship of the brigade and the remodeled airship were called "Isana Ship (イサナ Ship)", and These two ships were designed by the sailor girl, so it is possible that the girl's name is Isana
