Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 211 Beetle Beetle

After Hayata repaired her armor, she applied for the promotion mission again and went hunting alone.

Gordon placed the order for the Blue Fire Dragon Suit and the Fire Dragon Sword to the workshop, and it would take about ten days to actually complete them.

As a result, he has been very idle recently.

In addition to the main weapon, the Fire Dragon Flame Sword, which is being strengthened and forged in the workshop, he also has two backup weapons.

——The obsolete "Explosive Knife Kai", and the "Rusty Great Sword", which is polished from plate-shaped rust blocks dug out of the volcano, and it is unknown what use it has.

With the Explosive Knife, it's okay to at least do a three-star mission, but it doesn't seem necessary.

Gordon, who had few acquaintances in East Doruma, visited his master a few times and harassed his senior brother Julius. After feeling bored, he stayed at home to train, fish, and spend the holidays leisurely.

A few days later, Gordon, who was dozing on the sofa, received a reply from Anhill and the others.

The peregrine falcon that delivered the letter flew directly to the Sterling Chamber of Commerce. Jessica collected the important letters and then sent someone to deliver the small letter paper attached to the mailbox.

There is very little content on the letter paper.

[Congratulations to Five Star. I have no objection to the new teammate.]

This is Ancier's handwriting. The content is simple but clear.

[Come on~!]

This is written by Feng Ying, and I don’t know what she is cheering for.

Next to it, I drew something that I couldn’t tell whether it was a dumpling or a flower. It was very mysterious.

Gordon looked through the letter paper and after confirming that no other information was missing, he balled it up and threw it into the wastebasket.

Then he turned over and sat up on the sofa, intending to go to Pork Chop to discuss the philosophical question of "what to eat at night".

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Gordon straightened his shirt and went to open the door.

I originally thought that the person who knocked on the door was the servant of the Stirling family who had just delivered a letter, and he had forgotten to explain something.

After opening the door, he found that the people standing outside were Julius and a strange female hunter.

Gordon crossed his arms, leaned against the door frame, and said with a smile: "Senior brother? You have such a free day today, why don't you come to me for tea?"

In fact, he is not usually such a playful and smiling person, but when he saw Julius who always kept a straight face and looked like a judge, he especially wanted to make a joke.

Julius frowned at him.

After a few seconds, Gordon surrendered

"Come in, come in, tsk, I don't know who you learned how to manage your expressions from. Master is obviously such a kind person." Gordon turned sideways and invited Julius and the strange female hunter to come in.

"What to drink? Black tea?" Gordon asked as he led the two of them to sit down at the dining table.

"No."

Julius's tone was flat, "It's better to drink hot water than to drink the tea you made. It's really a waste of the good tea leaves from the Ancil family."

The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched, and he raised his voice and shouted: "Pork chop! Help me make a cup of black tea! And give Julius a cup of boiling water!"

"Meow!"

The huntress covered her mouth and chuckled. She rarely had the chance to see Julius's deflated expression.

"Okay, no more joking." Gordon knew that Pork Chop would definitely make a pot of tea soon, "Why don't you introduce this lady?"

"I'll do it myself."

The female hunter smiled and said: "I am Nadia, a four-star light crossbow user. I am Julius's regular teammate. Please give me some advice."

"Gordon, five-star swordsman, nice to meet you."

Gordon and Nadia bumped fists and briefly looked at each other.

This is a young woman whose appearance can easily give people a "wild" impression. She should be about the same age as Julius, in her twenties.

There are red war patterns tattooed on her brownish-black skin, even on her face. Her long black hair is braided into countless tiny braids and then pulled into a simple high ponytail. It is also dotted with many colored beads and stones, which is very unique.

exotic.

Gordon didn't recognize her armor. Except for the wrist armor, there were almost no nails visible, and her muscular abdomen was directly exposed.

There are only two types of people who like this kind of armor with almost no defensive performance. One is mentally retarded, and the other is a master who is extremely confident in his own skills and has a light and agile fighting style.

To be favored by Julius and become a regular teammate, Nadia undoubtedly belongs to the latter group.

While Gordon was sizing up Nadia, Nadia was also sizing him up.

For hunters, this level of scrutiny is not offensive - they need to use it to judge each other's strength.

Even though Gordon was not wearing equipment at this time, Nadia could still see some clues from the muscle circumference, hands, movement habits, etc.

"Okay, you two are almost familiar with each other, let's talk about business." Julius said.

Gordon's expression became more serious. He looked at Julius and motioned for the latter to continue.

"Master's research requires a kind of monster material." After saying this, Julius paused, "Nadia and I are not completely sure, so I came to you."

Gordon nodded, Julius's purpose was almost as he guessed.

"Of course I will help with Master's matter, but it will have to wait for about a week. My main battle weapon is being strengthened in the workshop. The level of the backup weapon may not be enough."

"What's the sharpness of the backup weapon?"

"Explosive Knife Kai, Green Slash, I have the 'Takumi' protective stone, I can barely mention Blue Slash."

"That's enough." Julius nodded with satisfaction.

"Huh?" Gordon was stunned.

Generally speaking, green Zhanwei weapons are the standard equipment for three-star hunters. They can be used even if they are four-star. As long as you don't encounter monsters with outstanding defensive capabilities, they are basically useless against five-star monsters. Pretty much.

He will use his knife to cut anyone.

Just like Hayata's cutting sword, there is nothing you can do against the Blue Fire Dragon.

The five-star Julius is not sure about adding a four-star excellent light crossbow user, but he has to bring along a monster that a five-star sword user can hunt. Why must he be the top five-star existence, right?

Exploding Knife·Change, enough?

Understanding what Gordon was wondering about, Julius explained: "The target is not a five-star monster, but a two-star monster."

Gordon raised his eyebrows.

He was not surprised at all. He knew Julius's character very well. He didn't like to joke. Since the target was two stars, there must be a special reason.

"Do you know Arusselutas?" Julius asked Gordon.

"Beetle? You know something about it, a two-star beetle monster, right?" Gordon didn't like reading very much, but he had always read the illustrations of various monsters.

Since it is this kind of monster, Gordon somewhat understands.

"If I remember correctly, its female individual, Ganeru Serutas (heavy beetle), is a five-star dangerous monster, right? She is also known as the 'Heavyweight Empress'.

Do you need my help because you are worried about the existence of heavy beetles?"

"You can say that, but it's not quite accurate."

Julius put his index finger and thumb against his chin.

"Master needs the 'sharp horns of the beetle'. It seems to be used to develop special cannonballs. The demand is large. In order to protect the ecological environment, this is a long-term collection process."

Gordon nodded in understanding.

Master Craftsman is not the kind of madman who is desperate for research. As an official weapons research and development master, while collecting various materials, he also pays great attention to ecological protection.

"Not long ago, I saw a rather special mission. If it goes well, I should be able to collect a large number of 'Thunder Beetle Horns' at once.

It was a commission from Sinard Village.

It is said that the presence of heavy beetles has attracted a large number of thru beetles, posing a serious threat to nearby villages. I hope hunters can hunt five thru beetles."

Gordon: "Five."
