Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

"The key point mentioned by Hayata is to 'coexist' with nature, or to put it another way, everything we see, hear, and do is just a part of nature."

Yamos's tone was calm and slow, "Children, when you gradually understand nature in depth, understand the sky, land and ocean, and understand the countless wonderful creatures living in it, you will gradually understand 'awe'.

This world is too big. For ordinary people whose sight ends at the fences and walls of towns, the vastness and magic of nature are simply unimaginable."

Gordon couldn't help but raise his head and look at the endless Xiuret Mountains in the east, where countless powerful monsters and dragons lived. He couldn't help but have a little more understanding of the "awe" that Senior Yamos said.

"If you are free, you can take time to sit in the big library. Scholars from the Wang Li Paleontology Scribes Team have left many copies of books there. Many of them will mention a method called 'Ecological Chain'.

'the concept of."

"Ecological chain?"

Hayata looked a little confused.

But Gordon, who has been crawling in the mountains and forests for several years, immediately captured something from the combination of the two words "ecology" and "chain".

"This is an extremely complex, extremely sophisticated, extremely fragile, yet extremely strong natural system." Yamos continued to describe all of this slowly. At this time, he didn't look like a hunter, but rather like a hunter.

A scholar.

“Producers and consumers, prey and prey, all living things in the world, including us humans, are just an insignificant link in this system.

Gordon, you said before that humans and nature are in a competitive relationship, right?" Yamos suddenly looked at Gordon.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Actually, you are right about competition. In order to pursue the development of the race and create a better life, human beings should compete. This is the nature of human beings as a kind of life.

In recent years, among the nobles who are hiding in the center of the city and may never have the opportunity to step outside the city walls, there has been a saying that killing is cruel, hunting should be banned, and 'noble' humans should live in fortified areas.

In the city, people live on vegetarian food.

If someone preaches this concept to you in the future, you can just spit in his face. A species that has completely lost its competitive spirit cannot stand in this cruel world.

But at the same time, you must also be aware of the impact that your actions during hunting will have."

Gordon and Hayata nodded in confusion. In fact, they still didn't understand what Yamos wanted to say.

Hayata also asked specifically, "Why is the ecological chain said to be both fragile and strong?"

Realizing that he had talked too much, Yamos patted his crossed knees and continued: "Let me give you a simple example.

A forest fire swept through thousands of square kilometers of mountain forests. Countless plants, animals, and even monsters were burned to death. Most of the Xiuret Mountains were turned into white ground under the fire.

What will happen to this land that has been burned by wildfires in ten or twenty years?"

Gordon, who had seen with his own eyes how the mountains that had been burnt black by wildfires returned to green, shrugged and said: "In the spring of the second year, new sprouts will sprout from the seeds buried deep in the ground.

In ten years, the forest will be basically restored to cover, and countless creatures will migrate to this new home from all directions.

Twenty years from now, except for the lack of some really old giant trees in the mountains, there will be no difference from the trees before the wildfires."

Yamos nodded and said with a smile: "This is what I mean, be strong. Even natural disasters can only permanently change the ecology of a region, but they cannot completely destroy the local ecology."

"Then why is the ecological chain said to be fragile?" Hayata continued to ask.

"Strongness refers to the macroscopic level, while vulnerability refers to the microscopic level." Yamos looked at Gordon again, "You asked me before why I didn't just kill the King of Strange Faces.

Now, can you predict what will happen next if I kill it?"

"What happened?" Gordon looked a little confused.

"The Qimian Clan is a highly social ethnic group. Under the call of the King of the Qimian Clan, dozens of tribes will gather together in the next half month to hold the Qimian Clan's sacrifice in accordance with customs.

Now that the king of the Strange Face Clan dies, a new king must be elected, and the various tribes will fall into battles. The sacrifice of the Strange Face Clan cannot be started, nor can it be ended immediately.

What will happen if hundreds or even thousands of Strange Face Tribes gather in one area?"

Gordon swallowed, "In order to fill their stomachs, they will hunt crazily and kill all the small animals in that area. Then they will expand the scope of their hunting, frequently attack passing caravans, and even attack humans.

Village.”

"That's right." Yamos crossed his arms, "Although that is only a possibility, of course, it is also possible that the Strange Face Tribe will elect a new king immediately, and nothing you said will happen.

If you had to fight at that time, otherwise your own safety would be threatened, then you should naturally solve it quickly and without hesitation. Even if this choice will have some consequences in the future, no one can blame you.

But since chasing the King of the Strange Face Tribe has nothing to do with the mission, has no benefit, is risky, and may even cause an ecological disaster on a larger scale, then why do we still do it?"

Gordon scratched the back of his head, finally understanding what Amos meant.

There is no reward for hunting the King of the Strange Face Clan, and there is no need to extract materials. There are still a few of them in the team, which is more likely to cause disasters. Are you full?

"In the eyes of most people, the role of the Hunters Guild is similar to an intermediary platform, which collects commissions and delivers them to hunters, while also providing some support and charging intermediary fees.

But this is just an appearance. In fact, the Hunters Guild has information exchange and in-depth cooperation with the Wang Li Paleontology Scribes Team, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, local municipal agencies, etc.

Every task posted on the bulletin board has been strictly reviewed. Hunters don't need to worry about anything else, just hunt the target with confidence and boldness.

This is also the main reason why the guild does not encourage hunters to wantonly and excessively hunt targets outside the mission. They need to maintain the balance of the local ecology as much as possible."

Having said this, Yamos paused for a moment, patted Gordon on the shoulder, and then touched Hayata's head.

"I don't ask you two little guys to immediately imprint a lot of what I said into your mind. I only hope that when you carry a sharp knife and step into the hunting ground, you will have a love for life and nature in your heart.

Awe.

Balance exists among all things. We are hunters, not butchers." (Is this sentence appropriate?)
