Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 133 Long-lost Kokot

Eli's injury was more serious than Gordon and the others expected.

Fractures are secondary. The main reason is that after the lungs are punctured by broken ribs, the rupture and hematoma of the lung lobes cannot be solved by simply drinking two bottles of recovery medicine.

After resting for a day at the hunter camp, and after Eli's injury stabilized, Gordon and others took a ride to the Metabetate caravan.

After arriving at Metabetat, Eli can get better medical treatment, and Gordon and others also plan to stay here for a short period of time as planned, complete a three-star hunting mission, and apply for a four-star promotion mission for Ancil.

Prepare for qualifications.

However, when they arrived at the local assembly hall to prepare for mission registration, they learned that it didn't seem to be such a hassle.

Eli has reported his distress and Gordon's participation in the rescue to the Hunters Guild, and the Guild has always encouraged hunters to lend a helping hand to each other.

In this way, the mission record of hunting the poisonous monster bird was counted in the name of Gordon and his team. As a result, Ancier was qualified to apply for a promotion mission.

Metabetat's poster girl even enthusiastically introduced them to several four-star tasks suitable for promotion, but Gordon politely refused.

——The return to Kokot Village to hunt the male fire dragon has special meaning for him.

Ancier can understand his thoughts. This is similar to the feeling he had when he went to the volcano to look for General Kamaki. Otherwise, there are so many four-star monsters, why would he have to seek a breakthrough from General Kamaki?

Without the mission requirement, there was no need for Gordon and the others to stay in this ordinary port town any longer. After a simple night's rest, they said goodbye to Eli and embarked on their journey to Kokot Village.

Naturally, the way to travel is to hitchhike in a caravan.

This may also be regarded as some kind of invisible benefit of the hunter profession.

Hiring hunters to accompany and protect caravans is very expensive. For the sake of profit, merchants are often reluctant to do so. Even when they must pass through certain dangerous areas, they only hire hunters to escort them for a short distance.

Therefore, when a hunter wants to take a ride, businessmen usually agree with both hands. It is difficult to say who is taking advantage of whom.

Metabetate and Kokot Village are located in the Xiuretsen Hill Zone, and the road between them is not far, only two or three days away.

Along the way, whenever the caravan stopped to rest, Gordon would drag Ancil into the forest and familiarize him with the surrounding environment and ecology.

It can be said that Gordon and Pork Chop, who grew up crawling and rolling around in the mountains and forests of the Xiuret area, felt as familiar as fish returning to the sea after a long absence. They were as nimble as two people when climbing over mountains and ridges.

A monkey.

This kind of excitement and excitement is incomprehensible to "city dwellers" like Ancier.

A few days passed by without incident, and when they came to their senses, the smoke of Kokot Village was already visible in the distance.

"Ah hahaha! I'm back!!"

"Meow meow meow meow!!!"

Seeing the scene of Gordon and Pork Chop talking in dialects that they usually didn't speak, and running happily into the entrance of Kokot Village, Anhir covered his face in embarrassment.

Putting his emotions into perspective, he thought that even when he returned to his home in Dongdoruma, he would never behave in such a rude manner similar to an intellectual disability.

Seeing that he was left alone at the entrance of the village, Anhir sighed, adjusted his dress-like armor, and followed.

The news that Gordon and Pork Chop are back has detonated this small mountain village with a population of less than three digits.

Everyone gathered in the small square in the center of the village to watch this boy, or young man, who was different from what they remembered, and it eventually turned into an open-air banquet.

"Why are you still growing?" A chubby aunt held the pork chop in her arms and moved it around. She stuffed "snacks" such as dried fish sausage into the latter's mouth while still complaining about Ge. Regarding Den’s figure, “My forehead is almost touching the ceiling. What’s the point of being so big? It’s all a waste of fabric to make clothes!”

Gordon: "."

He has always been quite proud of his body shape. As a great swordsman, being small means lack of strength and unstable center of gravity. On the contrary, being tall and strong is the best figure.

Why does it become a waste of fabric when it reaches your mouth?

A big hand reached out and pulled the aunt aside. It was the workshop owner of Kokot Village.

The middle-aged man with a beard as stiff as a steel needle said carelessly: "You woman know how to handle baskets? Hunters must be strong! Do you think you are one of those sissy gentlemen in tuxedos in the city?"

A pretty boy who can’t hold a weapon, he’ll do it when he gets to the hunting ground. Sorry, little brother, I’m not talking about you.”

Noticing Ancier's darkening expression and realizing that he had said something wrong, the workshop owner smiled dryly, rubbed his palms, and quickly changed the subject.

He came close to Gordon, first patted Gordon's shoulder hard, and then touched the blade of the explosive knife Kai behind the latter, "Isn't this the explosive knife I shot? How many years has it been? Still using it.

Oh no, it’s a little different, this is the Exploding Knife Kai?! Wow, look at this forging pattern, look at this luster, the craftsmen in the big city are different from us in the countryside!"

"Well, it was just strengthened a while ago." Gordon, who remained motionless under repeated slaps from the workshop owner's palm, said with a smile: "But it's not a big city, it's the craftsmanship of Naguli Village?"

"Naguli Village! A village of craftsmen at the foot of the volcano?!" The workshop owner came closer, "Could it be that the legendary great craftsman of the Tulong Tribe did it himself?"

The legendary great craftsman? The bald old village chief with an exaggerated beard?

Gordon cursed in his heart and replied: "It's not him, it's the handiwork of the Tulong village chief's daughter."

"Is it really the craftsmanship of the Tulong tribe? Let me see it in detail! I want to take a closer look!"

After lending the blasting knife Gai to the workshop owner to caress and study, Gordon walked through the crowd and came to Ernest, who was leaning under a big tree and looking at him with a smile.

"Instructor, I'm back." Gordon sniffed.

I was obviously happy when I returned to the village, but why did I feel a little emotional when I came in front of the instructor?

Ernest's smile became even brighter. He squeezed Gordon's thick arm and said with a smile: "I have become taller and stronger. Big strange bird suit, hahaha. It seems that you are too, kid." Don’t let up!”

"of course!"

Lifting his chin and pointing at the handsome heavy crossbow user who was surrounded by young girls in the village asking questions, the instructor continued to smile and said: "We also have a regular team of companions. He looks quite strong."

"Ha, his name is Ansir, he comes from Dondoruma, he is indeed a great partner!"

The instructor looked around and carefully looked around, crossed his arms and asked, "Is he the only teammate?"

"Ah, yes, we are a two-person team." Gordon replied, scratching his head.

Inexplicably, it feels like there is some dissatisfaction hidden in the instructor's tone?

The instructor smacked his lips, "We lost."

"ah?"

"After you left Kokot, I made a bet with the village chief. I guessed that you would come back with your wife and children many years later. But the village chief said that you would come back soon, possibly with your teammates, and there was a high probability that you would come back.

It's a male teammate.

He guessed it all."

Gordon: "."
