Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 232 Courage and Prosperity

After explaining his purpose and intention, the wealthy merchant picked up the Nanman Sword [Shark Break] on the table, said to the waiter, "My account", and left gracefully.

He told Gordon that if he made a decision, he could inform him at any time. His trading ship was docked at the port and it was easy to find him.

Gordon knew that this was to give him time to discuss with his partners.

Obviously, Hayata lacks understanding of things like mountain dragons, harvest festivals, and desert feasts.

Looking confused.

In fact, these miscellaneous rumors and knowledge were only gradually learned after he was promoted to a four-star hunter and while he and Ancier were traveling across the continent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I happened to have a good introduction to science with Hayata.

"Hayata, do you know anything about 'Gu Long'?"

Hayata hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Master told me about some terrifying creatures that are superior to ordinary creatures, have the power of natural disasters, and can easily destroy villages and even cities.

At the same time, their every move is closely related to nature and the environment, and is an important part of maintaining ecological operation, right."

Well, he is worthy of being a high-level hunter. He summarized it accurately and rigorously. It seems that I don't need to waste any more words in this regard.

Gordon nodded and was about to continue talking when Hayata spoke again.

"Senior Gordon." Hayata's expression was a little hesitant, "Have you personally faced an ancient dragon?"

"The honorifics are all used, meow." Pig Chop complained while holding the fish head.

"Well, haven't I told you about this?" Gordon took a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment, and then told Hayata roughly about his encounter with Lan Long.

"Amazing!"

Hayata's eyes were shining, "Master said that even a high-ranking hunter can't help but feel afraid and weak in the legs when standing in front of Gu Long. Did Senior Gordon actually take the initiative to invite Lan Long to fight?"

"This guy at that time just didn't care about life and death." Pig Chop waved his paws to demolish Gordon's stage.

Facing Hayata's admiring gaze, Gordon was quite embarrassed. He cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Well, it's all in the past.

Has Hayata ever been to Loklak?”

"Nope."

"At the southern end of the great desert, there is a vast sea of ​​sand. The sand there is extremely dry and fine, and there is quicksand all over it, making it difficult to walk.

Lockak was built on a huge and complete rock platform in the middle of the sand sea.

If you want to go there, you can only take an airship or a sand boat. Well, a sand boat is a means of transportation that can travel on the sand sea."

"Uh-huh."

Hayata listened carefully and responded thoughtfully, so that Gordon would not feel like he was playing a one-man show.

"There is a huge ancient dragon living in the sand sea, Fengshanlong. It appears every year with the monsoons and sandstorms and passes by Lockark.

In order to prevent the Fengshan Dragon from colliding with the rock platform, the Lockrak Guild sends out a fleet of sand boats to intercept it every year.

For countless years, it has become a symbol of Lokrak's courage and prosperity, and is the most recognized of all ancient dragons.

After all, it happens every year.”

Hayata was very curious, "I can understand 'courage', but why do you say Fengshan Dragon is a symbol of 'prosperity'?"

"Fengshan Dragon swims in the sand sea, and its huge body will pull out nutrients and minerals buried deep in the sand sea bottom, so it is always followed by a large number of sand fish.

Although I also think that while the hunters were blocking the Fengshan Dragon, a bunch of fishermen were following around to catch fish, which was quite reckless, but wasn’t this ‘courage’ and ‘prosperity’ both reflected?”

Hayata: "."

"In addition, Fengshanlong is a filter-feeding organism. It swallows a large amount of gravel and filter-feeds the organic matter and minerals in it.

After these minerals are combined with certain substances in its body, they will be precipitated from the breathing holes and sweat glands on its back to form special ores.

It's the kind that Mr. Hao Merchant plans to acquire.

While hunters are trying to stop the Fengshan Dragon, they will also find ways to climb onto it and dig out those precious ores. For this reason, there are hunters who become rich overnight almost every year.

This battle of interception and harvest is the so-called ‘Feast in the Desert’.”

"I see." Hayata nodded in understanding, "What about the harvest festival?"

“Due to the existence of the ‘Feast’, when the monsoon comes every year, a large number of businessmen and tourists come to Lok Hark, which greatly boosts the economy there.

Over the years, a fixed festival called the Harvest Festival has been formed.

It is said that if you go to Lockhak during that time, you will have the opportunity to buy very precious commodities at low prices from foreign merchants."

"It seems very interesting!"

"So, Hayata, what do you think about whether to accept the commission from Mr. Hao Shang?"

Hayata thought carefully and said: "To me, the blueprint of the 'Nanman Sword' is a pretty good thing, but it's not worth a special trip to Lockark.

However, if we are planning to go to Lockark to participate in the Harvest Festival and the ‘Feast’, it seems pretty good to get a blueprint for free?

Senior Gordon, do you want to go?"

Seeing Hayata carefully hiding the look of expectation in his eyes, Gordon suddenly realized that this guy seemed to have positioned himself as a "dispensable" presence in the team.

Always worried about causing trouble to others.

So, he smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, just think about yourself. Do you want to go?"

".Want to go!"

"Then let's go!"

When Gordon and the others inquired about the location of the trading ship and came to the port.

The wealthy businessman was already waiting on the barge next to the trading ship.

Noticing the approach of the two men and the cat, the wealthy merchant smiled and put the account book in his hand into his lapel and put it away.

"Have you decided to join this feast?"

Looking at the former's confident expression, Gordon was speechless, deeply understanding the "treachery" of this wealthy businessman.

This seems to be a transaction, but in fact it is a kind of guidance.

The blueprint of the Nanman sword was dispensable to him, and it was far from a necessity to Hayata, but he used this reason to propose the harvest festival and the feast in the desert.

This guy must have confirmed through the previous conversation that he and Hayata were in a state of "walking around at leisure".

And how many young people with nothing to do can refuse such an interesting thing as a "gluttonous banquet"?

Coupled with Fengshanlong's attraction to him who had come into contact with the ancient dragon, and considering the possibility of opposition from his female companion, he threw out the Nanman Sword blueprint, which was not a light or heavy bait.

In this way, his involvement with Hayata has become a certainty.

"You figured it out." Gordon shook hands with the wealthy businessman and said angrily.

"You saw it." The wealthy businessman didn't mean to hide it.

"I can't guarantee anything else. Whether it's blue scales, rock shells, special ores, colored crystals or abyssal crystals collected from Fengshan Dragon, I will purchase them all at a price higher than the market price."

Hayata on the side also realized something.

She curled her lips and pretended to be surprised: "Colored crystals, abyss crystals? So can these be collected from Fengshan Dragon?"

Hearing the word "ye", the wealthy businessman's eyes lit up. He pretended to be unintentional and said: "Miss Hayata, have you purchased these ores somewhere else?"

"I have found pure crystals from the Strange Face Tribe." Hayata took out the pure crystal that she used as a talisman and shook it.

Rich businessman: "."

Gordon on the side couldn't help but grin, this was revenge and show off from the Chosen One.

(There will be more tonight, paralysis

Ps.

Just to make a complaint, I suddenly found that the protagonist's fire-attributed sword was lonely. None of the monsters I encountered were weak to fire. I finally encountered a heavy beetle that was weak to fire, and it happened to be strengthened in the workshop. I really think I am a physics master. Is the sword used?
