Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 120 Dragon's Protective Stone

"Take it, can't you take it back?!" Gordon looked in disbelief.

"Don't forget, after we got off the mine cart, we walked for two days before arriving at the camp here. You dug such a big bag on the first day. It is conservatively estimated that the mine just now can be dug for three more.

Four days, can you bear it?"

Weighing the huge suitcase weighing dozens of kilograms on his back, Gordon slumped his shoulders and said, "It seems to be a bit too much. I don't think I should throw it away. It's a pity."

Anhill, who has always had a big wallet, does not have Gordon's mentality which is at best "thrifty" and at worst "petty".

"Most of them are made of earth crystals and iron ore, right? In the future, the equipment will become better and better, and the demand for the quality of materials will also become higher and higher. Just collect the rough stone protection stone, Linghe stone, and Huilong stone.

If you don't have much use for these basic ores, don't bring them with you. If you really can't bear to part with them, you can throw them in the storage box. Although the settlement price is relatively low, you can always exchange them for some money."

"It can only be the."

Gordon's first serious excavation trip was forced to end on the third day after arriving in the lava canyon.

For no other reason, the cold drinks have been exhausted

The temperature in the lava canyon was higher than they expected, and heavy physical labor like mining would also speed up the consumption of cold drinks. They originally prepared enough cold drinks for at least a week, but in fact they only lasted less than half of it.

time.

Gordon originally wanted to try to see if it was possible to adapt and overcome with perseverance, but the facts proved that this was a delusion.

He suffered from heat stroke less than half an hour after leaving the camp, and his skin even showed symptoms of low-temperature burns. If he stayed any longer, he would probably be roasted alive.

In desperation, the two of them and the cat embarked on the road back to the village.

On the small mine car driving to Naguli Village, Anhil, who was motion-sick, was vomiting as usual, while Gordon happily inspected the harvest.

There are eleven rough stones in the protective stone. These rough stones alone made Gordon's nose bubble with joy.

Coupled with a large number of high-quality metal ores such as Linghe Stone and Pylonite, Gordon and the others spent a lot of effort to move these things from the lava canyon to a place within the reach of the mine car.

There should be no need to worry about ore materials in a short time.

After returning to Naguli Village, Gordon couldn't even wait to put his luggage, so he went to find the village chief with the blue-faced Ancier on his back.

Everyone in the village knows that the best stone guard appraisal and polishing master in Naguli Village is the Tulong village chief himself.

The village chief happily accepted the job, but Gordon was a little disappointed. The matter of identifying the protective stone was not as simple as he thought, and the result could not be obtained with a "swish". (?

)

Only after careful cutting and grinding to remove impurities and rust stains can they reveal their original appearance. As for the identification, it comes after that.

Seeing that he couldn't get the results right away, Gordon had no choice but to drag Anhil, who was still a little uneasy, to the assembly hall to hand in the task, and at the same time looked forward to the arrival of the agreed-upon next day.

The two of them had a big meal with one cat, took a bath in the hot springs and had a good sleep - a whole night of silence.

At noon the next day, Gordon and Anhill, who were in a completely new mental and physical state, rushed to the workshop excitedly, looking forward to good luck.

Along the way, watching Gordon take out an ancient gold coin from his collar as he walked, holding it in his hand and mumbling something, Ancil couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is this gold coin your amulet?"

"Well, it was given by a very lucky friend. I hope it can bring some good luck to her."

"Oh, 'she'?" An ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of An Xil's mouth.

Gordon glanced at him helplessly, and after getting along with him for a long time, he realized that this man was actually a very sultry guy - yesterday he heard from the sales girl, Miss Marian, that there was a girl from East Doruma who sent mail to this guy.

letter.

"Do you want to hold it and pray? It's quite effective."

"Is that okay?" Ancil was a little surprised and took the exotic ancient coin handed over by Gordon. He actually didn't believe it, but there was no need to brush off his partner's kindness.

Putting the ancient coin in the palm of his hand, he put his hands together and bowed casually, and Ansir returned the ancient coin.

They had also arrived at the entrance of the workshop at this time.

Seeing the arrival of the two men, the Tulong village chief yawned and lifted a wooden tray padded with velvet onto the table. Eleven shimmering protective stones were quietly arranged in it.

These protective stones come in different sizes and colors. The largest one is about the size of an egg, while the smaller one is like a broad bean. Holes have been drilled on them, and they can be easily hung around the neck with a thin iron chain.

"Hahaha, you are here!" The Tulong village chief laughed as usual and started chatting, "All eleven protective stones have been identified. You are very lucky, boys. There are two very good ones. We are all jealous after seeing them.

Na!"

Gordon and Ancil looked at each other in surprise, and couldn't help but look at the ancient coin on Gordon's chest.

Is it really that smart?

The Tulong village chief stroked his beard, touched the protective stones with his fingers as thick as a normal human wrist, and introduced them one by one:

"The seven protective stones here are the most common soldier protective stones. They only have a little bit of attribute resistance added, two for fire resistance, one for thunder resistance, one for ice resistance, two for sleep resistance, and one for paralysis.

Patience, to be honest, these patience bonuses are too small and useless.”

Both Gordon and Gordon ignored these and looked at the remaining ones.

"These two are just so-so. One of the 'Natado Techniques' can slightly speed up the movement of the sword. It is useful for swordsmen who like to draw swords. It is a warrior-level protective stone and can be used as a transitional weapon.

A 'Quick Eat', uh, can make you take medicine and eat food a little faster, it's not very useful, but it's more interesting?"

Gordon: "?"

Eat faster? What is the principle of this stone-protecting power?

"The last two are the finale!"

The Tulong village chief's big hand pulled aside the previous "junk protection stones" and pointed to the last two most shiny protection stones and introduced:

"This one is undoubtedly the best among the batch of protection stones. It belongs to the dragon protection stone. Even high-level hunters will be very greedy. I haven't seen such a great protection stone for a while!

It has two effects, 'precision shooting' and 'weak point effect'. The former can greatly improve the accuracy of the ballista's shooting, while the latter causes greater damage (critical hits) when attacking the monster's weak point.

For shooters who are good at sniping, it can be said to be the best protective stone. If it is sold at auction, it can be sold for a very high price. Do you need my help to introduce it?"

"No need! This protective stone is mine! No one can take it away!!!" Ancier's face turned red with excitement. He grabbed the king's protective stone, yelled and laughed wildly and punched as hard as he could.

Elegant and reserved?

Gordon also glared at the Tulong village chief with a face full of enthusiasm.

The latter always introduces the protective stones in order from worst to best, so the quality of the last protective stone will only be better? If that protective stone happens to be very suitable for you

"The last protective stone is very interesting. Although it is just a knight's protective stone, its effects are rare!"

Gordon: "."

Why is it several levels worse than the previous one???

The Tulong Village Chief held up the protective stone and said with obsessed eyes: "Its effect is 'cold resistance'. Protective stones with ordinary cold-resistant effects are not uncommon, and are on the same level as those previous soldier protective stones.

But the cold-resistant effect of this protective stone is very outstanding. As long as you wear it, you will not freeze even if you are wearing single clothes in the snowy mountains!"

Gordon: "."

It’s useless!!!

ps. Regarding the level of stone protection.

(mh3) The grade of the stone protection after identification is divided from high to low into - soldier's stone protection, warrior's stone protection, knight's stone protection, city protection stone, queen's protection stone, king's protection stone, dragon's protection stone, hero's protection stone,

The legendary protective stone is the protective stone of heaven.

The ten levels above seem to be average (and difficult to remember), but they are the orthodox level divisions that have appeared more than once in the Monster Hunter series.

In the official Monster Hunter novels, this scale is also used to classify hunter levels (soldier level hunter, queen level hunter, hero level hunter and so on——!).

I initially considered using this grade classification, but it was too difficult to remember, so I used the simplest few stars emmmmmmm

ps2. In this book, in most cases, mixing and matching equipment will not be considered. After all, it’s just in the game. In real life, you have to at least dress like a person, right?

Therefore, the attribute selection of the protective stone will also be biased toward versatility. After all, it is not like in the game, where you only need to move your fingers to brush the protective stone.

In terms of stone protection skills and effect settings, the mh3 series and the mhw series are mixed and as numerical as possible.
