Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 247 Hunter’s Jewelry

Pandan's training is in full swing.

Hayata, who has recognized it to a certain extent, will visit him from time to time with gifts of condolence.

Gordon quickly lost interest in the matter of "training kittens with pork chops" because he discovered an interesting hidden shop through the introduction of the gangsters of the Shachuan Group.

It was a small alchemy shop.

As expected, the owner of the alchemy shop is an elderly dragon-human mother-in-law.

Ordinary humans seem unable to learn this complex and mysterious technology. Even the long-lived dragon tribe can only truly master it after a certain age.

From this point of view, the little fat man from Sinard Village is really talented. Gordon has never seen such a young alchemist elsewhere.

"It turns out that the 'beads' used by hunters are made from alchemy?"

In the alchemy shop, Gordon watched with curiosity as the old dragon woman in the alchemy shop wrapped a translucent crystal-like jewelry in some kind of monster's bag of flames.

It then goes through a series of complicated steps, such as adding powder ground from fire dragon scales, soaking it in a special solution, and burning it with strangely colored flames.

Finally, after cleaning the impurities on the surface of the jewelry and simply polishing it, a red orb was obtained.

The color of the orb is as red as fire, and it also has a faint burning smell.

Holding it in your hand, it feels similar to the flame bag, as if all the special substances in the flame bag have been absorbed into the original jewelry crystal.

This is a "Fire Flame Bead".

The mother-in-law of the alchemy shop was a slow-tempered person. After Gordon carefully looked at the Fire Flame Bead, she explained slowly:

"Hmm, making jewelry beads for hunters~ requires using 'original beads' and some special, um, special monster materials.

By transferring the special energy contained in the monster materials to the original beads, you can create jewelry beads with special protection.

The number of raw beads that can be used to make jewelry beads is rare, and they are rare to find in big cities. Especially high-quality beads, there are naturally fewer finished products circulating on the market.

In addition, there are not many people who have mastered this alchemy technique, so there is this misunderstanding that ‘beads are naturally occurring’.”

Granny Alchemist pushed up her glasses, tilted her head and thought for a while.

"However, this statement is not absolute. My old friend who retired from the New World Survey Team said that the energy in the natural environment there is frighteningly high.

Sometimes special crystals with effects similar to beads will be condensed directly into the monster's body. After simple polishing and processing, they can also be used as beads.

Nature is really wonderful.”

"New World? That's really interesting." Gordon handed the Fire Bead back.

"Mother-in-law, in addition to these attribute beads, can you make any other jewelry beads?"

The Fire Bead, which improves fire-attributed attacks, is a slight improvement for Gordon who uses the Fire Dragon Sword, but it is of little significance - the Great Swordsman does not originally pursue the special attributes attached to the weapon.

Granny Alchemist opened one eye and glanced at him.

"Swordsmen use it, let me think about it, let me think about it."

She straightened the hairpin on her head and continued: "The most common ones are attack beads, which only require ordinary quality original beads (water-light original beads), scales of big strange birds, and seeds of strange power.

Defense beads, raw beads and shield crab shells are sufficient. Physical beads that can increase physical strength require the skin of the Big Boar King.

These beads are versatile and the material is good. Although the effect is not obvious, it is not bad."

Gordon held his chin, feeling a little moved, "Mother-in-law, do you sell raw beads here?"

"No, you need to find ways to find the monster materials and original beads. I am only responsible for the alchemy processing."

This answer was within Gordon's expectation.

He continued to ask: "Can you make beads of a higher level? It doesn't matter if the materials are difficult to obtain. I can think of a way and maybe I can have them."

The alchemist's mother-in-law thought for a while while holding the stirring rod used for alchemy.

"Onslaught beads are high-end decorative beads that are more effective than attack beads. They require a higher level of original beads (Yangxiang original beads), as well as the fire dragon's wing claws and ghost medicine. The disadvantage is that it weakens the defense ability.

The Fortitude Bead, a better defensive bead, requires the carapace of a black armored dragon, but the disadvantage is that it reduces attribute resistance."

Gordon grinned, it still had negative effects.

Granny Alchemist reported again the effects and materials of a string of decorative beads, which gave Gordon a headache.

No wonder many hunters don't use beads. Not only are raw beads expensive, but beads of slightly better quality often require high-level monster materials.

Perhaps only high-level hunters have the financial resources and strength to spend a lot of time to slowly put together a suitable set of decorative beads.

Gordon planned to wander around the commercial streets more during this time. It was the harvest festival right now, and merchants from all over the country gathered together. Maybe he could meet someone selling raw beads.

If the price is not too expensive, you can buy some and make some low-end defense beads and strength beads, which is better than nothing.

"The dragon-slaying beads that increase dragon attribute resistance require the blood of ancient dragons, and the quick-recovery beads that increase the speed of injury recovery require albino raw meat slices."

Granny Alchemist was still announcing the names of the dishes, and Gordon planned to listen patiently to the end.

Suddenly, the name of a bead that interested him very much came out of Granny Alchemist's mouth.

"The craftsman bead requires a high-quality original bead (Shura original bead) and the heart of a horned dragon, which can increase the sharpness of the weapon."

"The heart of Dioceratops?" Gordon became interested.

He has already tasted the benefits of "Takumi" in improving the sharpness of weapons in the protective stone. It may seem inconspicuous, but it is very versatile, not to mention that the effects of the protective stone and beads can be superimposed.

"But why can the heart of a horned dragon increase the sharpness of a weapon?" Gordon was confused.

Granny Alchemist maintained her unhurried tone, "There is a special substance in the heart of the one-horned dragon that can make the blade harder."

"That's it." Gordon remembered this in his heart.

Whether it was low-grade materials such as crab shells and pig skins, or the precious Dicerosaurus heart, he had kept it in a storage box at Dongdoruma's residence, so it was naturally impossible to suddenly take it out thousands of miles away (?).

But in a city as big as East Doruma, there should be dragon alchemists. Once you get the suitable raw beads, you can go to the alchemists to customize them.

In the next week or two, Gordon frequently appeared in the shopping street.

I also asked my friends in the sandy boat group more than once where there were reliable jewelry stores or jewelry dealers.

Cessna, who has a gossipy personality, thought this guy was going to make some "big move", such as customizing a ring or a token.

I even followed him secretly and made inquiries for a while.

In the end, I learned that this guy just wanted to get the raw beads for making jewelry beads, so he retreated angrily.

The monsoon has not yet arrived, making this year's harvest festival extra long.

Gordon and others had their own things to do, and they didn't feel bored.

The merchants and tourists in the city are very happy. Everyone hopes that this lively festival can be longer. When the monsoon comes, the dust will be overwhelming, how annoying.

However, the leader of the Mustache Guild in Lockrak, the leader of the Sand Ship Group, and others became increasingly anxious.

No one can explain the specific relationship between Monsoon and Fengshan Dragon. They only know that the two always appear together.

They are not afraid of the Fengshan Dragon's attack, after all, it happens every year. What they are worried about is that the Fengshan Dragon has not arrived yet.

Because that means "abnormal".

The most dangerous situation for all events related to ancient dragons is "abnormality".

(Lately, my sub-health has been a bit serious due to prolonged sitting. I went to exercise after a long time. No more tonight orz.
