Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 203 Emergency Departure

Gordon took the pork chop and jumped off the airship arriving in Hong Kong.

A piece of true red horn that was more than half a man long was carried on his shoulders and wrapped in oilcloth. It looked like a thick stick, attracting the curious eyes of many people.

Gordon, who was walking on the street, couldn't help but feel happy.

Fortunately, the packaging was covered up, otherwise the number of people watching might have been several times greater.

After squeezing through the crowd and walking all the way to the hunter assembly hall located in the center of the mountainside, Gordon pushed open the door of the assembly hall.

Different from those ordinary people on the street.

Several hunters who were having a drink at a nearby wine table accidentally glanced at this place, and their eyes suddenly straightened. The "stick" seemed to have a magnetic force, firmly attracting their attention.

"Hey hey hey?! Is that so!"

"Yeah! That shape!"

Several hunters dropped their wine glasses and quickly ran to Gordon's side, surrounding him.

The movement here attracted the attention of more hunters in the assembly hall, and more and more people gathered around.

It would be stingy to keep secretive at this time.

Gordon grinned, held the "stick" in front of him, and ripped off the oilcloth wrapped on it, revealing the huge red horn that seemed to be soaked in blood.

The hunters who were watching suddenly exploded.

"Ooooooh!"

"True Red Horn!"

"I knew it was the 'proof of hero'!"

"By the way, I'm so young. Is Dioceratops a five-star?"

"Tsk tsk, he's not any worse than that kid Julius!"

"It seems his name is Gordon? I saw him and Ancier together before."

Some people patted their shoulders, some toasted, some stuffed large pieces of barbecue into Gordon's hands, and some were secretly eating pork chops. Everyone in the assembly hall made a fuss around the two of them for a while before slowly dispersing.

And the name "Gordon" finally left a special impression among the hunter groups in East Doruma.

The True Red Horn is lying quietly on the mission counter.

The three salesgirls all bowed to congratulate her. Even Hurley, who had the most out-of-the-box personality, showed her serious side at this time.

The True Red Horn, or the "Proof of Heroes", has extremely special significance to both the hunter group and the Hunter Guild.

——It symbolizes the beginning of the profession of "monster hunter".

The guild leader personally took out the seal, burned it red with charcoal fire, and stamped the fifth star seal on the cover of Gordon Hunter's notebook.

From today on, he is a five-star hunter.

Gordon scratched his cheek.

The day when the big wild boar king chased him around seems like just yesterday, but now, is he only one step away from becoming a "high-ranking hunter"?

“It’s a bit lacking in realism”

While Gordon was sighing with emotion, a thin man wearing a scholar's robe and glasses knocked open the side door and stumbled over.

"Supervisor! No, the information is wrong! Urgent message from the Peregrine Falcon Observation Balloon in the northwest of the Sea of ​​Trees, the information is wrong!"

Gordon stepped aside, allowing the young scrivener to rush to the guild director.

Looking at the scrivener's delicate and almost feminine side face, Gordon felt that it looked familiar. After recalling it for a few seconds, he suddenly blurted out: "Alva?!"

"Huh? Ah! You are." A few years ago, the young scrivener who had faced Lan Long with Gordon screamed out in surprise.

Gordon quickly raised his hand to interrupt, indicating that he should ignore him and continue the report just now.

"Which piece of information is wrong?" The guild director also frowned and asked urgently.

Alva immediately put the note in his palm into the hands of his supervisor and reported the report very quickly: "Intelligence No. 124 of Shuhai, the related mission is Hunting No. 73.

Original intelligence showed that a male fire dragon had migrated to the northwest edge of the Sea of ​​Trees, threatening the safety of the trade routes, so a hunting mission was established.

But just now, we received an intelligence update. Because the male fire dragon was observed late at night, the observer made a misjudgment.

That one is not an ordinary male fire dragon, but a subspecies of blue fire dragon!"

Gordon, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but grin with toothache - the difference between the blue fire dragon and the male fire dragon is not just as simple as the color of the scales.

Like some subspecies of monsters, the Cyan Fire Dragon is more likely to be discovered by predators from the moment it hatches, and is also more likely to be rejected and attacked by its own kind.

Any blue fire dragon that can survive to adulthood is far superior to ordinary male fire dragons in terms of strength and physique.

According to the danger level determined by the guild, the Blue Fire Dragon belongs to the top level of five-star monsters, even close to six-star levels.

Even compared to the one-horned dragon he hunted before, it was only slightly stronger.

I can only pray that the hunter hasn't taken over that mission yet. If I go hunting the Blue Fire Dragon with the preparation of hunting the Male Fire Dragon, something big will happen.

"That mission has been taken over."

The guild director's face was frighteningly dark, "Just yesterday morning, I was accepted as an assessment task for promotion to four stars."

The three waiters who were quickly checking the task registration form raised their heads when they heard this, their faces pale.

Gordon's brows also frowned.

If a five-star hunter takes the mission and discovers that the opponent is not a male fire dragon but a blue fire dragon, you can choose to retreat, or you can curse and try to kill the blue fire dragon.

If you are an experienced four-star hunter, as long as you are cautious, you will have a high degree of confidence in safely evacuating from the pursuit of the Cang Fire Dragon.

But the three-star hunter who has not yet been officially promoted is different.

First of all, it is basically impossible for them to have experience in hunting large flying dragon species. The kind of pressure is completely different from that of bird dragon species such as giant strange birds.

Moreover, their equipment is not of sufficient quality.

Take the explosive knife used by Gordon during his 2nd and 3rd years, for example. That sword was almost enough to cut down the male fire dragon, but when used against the blue fire dragon, it would only be bounced off by its scales.

——The sharpness is completely insufficient.

The same goes for armor. Without equipment replacement during the four-star period, no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to pose a threat to five-star monsters.

"She went by airship. It only takes one day from East Doruma to the hunting ground on the west side of the Sea of ​​Trees. She may have encountered the Blue Fire Dragon now!"

Hurley said with red eyes: "We must issue an emergency mission immediately and find someone to rescue her!"

"It's too late to issue the mission."

The guild leader looked at Gordon and said, "Gordon, I know you have just hunted a horned dragon and are still very tired, but the situation is urgent. Can you please come?"

"No problem." Gordon nodded immediately, "It's mainly a matter of schedule. It's definitely too late to walk. Is there a suitable airship?"

Alva on the side immediately raised his hand and said: "We can help with the airship. We have an airship on standby and can set off within twenty minutes at the fastest!"

"That's it."

The director of the guild said: "Alva will inform the airship now to prepare for takeoff. If Gordon needs any additional props, I will have them delivered immediately."

"Recovery potions, antidote, and flash bombs, these are the three main ones. The base is full. Others are troublesome to prepare and are not important."

In this emergency situation, melee hunters are particularly convenient.

"Hetty! Remember to bring some Kampo medicine!"

"Let's go get it now!"

"There is also Gunpowder Meow! I can adjust the Explosive Bomb Meow on the airship!"

"Then take them all!"

ps.

The real relationship between Cang Ying and male and female Fire has not been officially stated clearly. It only talks about subtypes. What I say here is considered self-made, similar to Pokémon of different colors?
