Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 339 Lanlong’s self-protective behavior

A week later, Gordon and Hayata returned to Yuyun Village.

The two brought back a large amount of fire dragon materials, including the mission target female fire dragon and the male fire dragon.

It can be said that they returned home with a full load, but their faces were not pretty.

He didn't even go to the counter to hand in the task, so he called An Xil directly, and then the mayor of Jieyun Village and the manager of Jieyun Assembly Hall, an old dragon man who loved drinking.

The five people met for a meeting.

"The 'source' of the storm should not be the direct cause of the gathering of monsters and frequent intrusions." Gordon didn't like to beat around the bush and gave his opinion straight to the point.

The eyes of the old dragon man who was in charge of the meeting, who was still a little drunk, suddenly became clear.

The eyes staring at Gordon suddenly became sharp.

He noticed that Gordon said "the 'source' of the storm" rather than "the storm."

"Mr. Gordon, are you referring to the 'Tianjin Disaster'?" The village chief's lady's voice also sounded.

The manager of the assembly hall suddenly turned his head and asked in a very stern tone: "Why do you know this name?"

"The culprit" An Xier looked calm and calm.

He didn't think that the village chief's lady would be the kind of person who was brainless and quick-tongued. Looking at her like this, she was probably ready to clarify her attitude with the guild members.

The narrow-eyed village chief lady looked a little confused, "The name of Tianjin's troubled land has been circulated in the land of Jieyun for a long time. My mother has told me the story of Tianjin Dance Style since I was a child.

Is there anything wrong with this name? Is the legend true? Mr. Management, do you know something?"

Listening to the village chief's lady's repeated questions, the wrinkled face of the assembly manager twitched.

He always felt that something was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with the village chief's remarks.

Noticing the hesitant and confused look on the face of the assembly hall management, the village chief confirmed that the guild had indeed concealed key information from her.

This made her, who had always been good-tempered, a little angry.

"Mr. Management, I understand the guild's consideration of covering up certain taboo information in order to avoid causing panic.

But the ‘abnormality’ has arrived.

The storm has been lingering for half a year, monsters are rampant, and hunters in Yuyun Village are suffering casualties almost every day. Not only does the guild fail to send reinforcements and provide help, it even deliberately conceals important information from us.

Are you planning to sacrifice our Jieyun Village as a sacrifice?!"

People who are usually mild-tempered are the most terrifying when they are angry. As the head of the guild in Jieyun Village, the management of the meeting can't help but be a little panicked.

He wiped his sweat and quickly explained: "Of course not. In fact, the guild temporarily concealed the news out of some cautious considerations.

Moreover, haven’t six-star hunter Gordon and five-star hunter Hayata also come to support? The guild determined that the current combat strength of Jieyun Village is sufficient, so it did not continue to send additional assistance.”

Ancier, who never had a good temper, glanced at the manager sideways and said, "Gordon Hayata was the one I wrote to ask him to come over to help."

What does the implication have to do with you?

Management selectively ignored Ancil's taunt.

After being silent for a few seconds under the village chief's gaze, he raised his head and said, "I can share the information I have with you, but it must be kept confidential.

In history, there are many examples of similar information leaks leading to larger-scale panic and disasters.

The current situation in Jieyun Village is actually not as dangerous as you think, and I hope you will not disturb the balance."

The village chief nodded seriously, "Of course, I still understand the importance of this, but I have a request. Gordon, Hayata, and Anhir, these three hunters should also know the truth.

They are the current main force in Jieyun Village, and they are not locals, so the risk of information leakage is not high."

Seeing the hesitation on the management's face, Gordon said: "We have had the experience of facing ancient dragons more than once, which can be found in the guild files.

I even faced Lan Long head-on, three years ago, in the Xiuret area.

Based on all this, I think we should be relatively trustworthy."

An Xil on the side crossed his arms and nodded.

The experience of facing Gu Long had nothing to do with him, but Gordon didn't name him anyway, right?

There was silence for a few more seconds.

The management of the conference still compromised. He sighed and said, "Gordon, I have read your information and know that what you said about facing Lan Long is true.

Could it be said that it is the guidance of fate?"

Gordon and others did not answer, but listened quietly.

The assembly manager continued: "Let me first explain why the situation in Jieyun Village is actually not as critical as you think.

Tianjin Disaster, also known as Lanlong, lives on the top of the Lingfeng Peak in the north of the Western Continent all year round. This is a fact that the Guild has long confirmed.

Since the summer of this year, after the abnormal storm occurred, the guild has sent high-level hunters several times to approach Spirit Peak to investigate.

The Paleontology Scribes Team and scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau summarized the information brought back by the hunters, analyzed it, and finally came to the conclusion.

——The abnormal storm is a self-protective ‘defensive behavior’ of the mist dragon, rather than an ‘offensive behavior’ such as migration or territory expansion.”

"Self-preservation?"

Gordon frowned and asked: "What kind of situation would make a being like Lan Long have the idea of ​​'self-protection'?"

The management of the gathering place replied: "Actually, there are many possibilities, including injury, molting, childbirth, etc., all are possible.

According to reports from the scouts, the originally indifferent Lanlong became extremely aggressive and they could not really get close to it.

After discussion, the senior leaders of the guild decided to deal with it conservatively and not to irritate Lan Long, so that he could survive the "period of self-danger" safely in Lingfeng.

It's better than forcing it to escape and wreak havoc everywhere, right?

The tragedy in the Moon City must never happen again."

Gordon and others looked at each other.

It turns out that this is the case, so the guild's practice of concealing information makes sense.

Hunters in Jieyun Village, and even the entire northern part of the Western Continent, have lost many of their partners, relatives, and friends in the sudden changes in recent months.

Just imagine.

A certain hunter who was blinded by hatred, after learning about the existence of Lanlong, rushed to the spiritual peak regardless.

Not to mention whether it can pose a threat to Lan Long, if it irritates him, he will leave the spiritual peak in anger and attack human settlements.

Such a loss is unimaginable.

In comparison, the inconvenience of the storm continuing to block the northern seas, blocking shipping lanes, and affecting tourism seems to be inconsequential.

"I see, I understand, Mr. Management, I apologize for my previous attitude."

The village chief stood up, folded her hands, and bowed.

"But I still have a question. Since the storm is an act of self-preservation by Lanlong, why are the monsters in the stream area and even the entire northern part of the Western Continent so chaotic?"

Gordon raised his hand at this time and said, "This brings us back to the original theme of this meeting.

I just mentioned that the mist dragon and the storm caused by the mist dragon should not be the direct cause of the monster chaos."

The village chief and the assembly hall manager looked at him.

"What's the reason?" the meeting center manager asked.

This is an issue that the guild has been trying to figure out.

"Originally, I thought it was the aura of Lan Long that stimulated the monsters, but when I actually came to Yuyun Village, I found that this was not the case.

The Elu clan is very keen in sensing breath, and is not inferior to all kinds of monsters, and my hunting cat partner Pig Chop told me.

It did not feel any so-called 'pressure and threat from the ancient dragon'.

You know, Pork Chop has faced Lan Long with me, and his judgment is very reliable."

(There will be another chapter tonight

Ps.

The p3 plot is about to officially begin, and I will adapt and expand it within a reasonable range. After all, many things in the original plot are just two simple sentences, which are too obscure.

There is also a question about the strength of the village chief of Jieyun Village that some readers mentioned. It is said that an NPC in x mentioned that she is actually very strong? (Maybe I skipped the plot?)

All in all, in this book, the village chief is not a hunter, and he has nothing special to hide his identity. Otherwise, it would be too disdainful for him to watch the hunters in the village working hard and drink tea at the entrance of the village every day.

But it is confirmed that she has quite a wealth of hunter-related knowledge and experience in traveling, and it is written in the setting book.
