Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 93 Trainee Scrivener Alva

After the airship took off, Gordon learned that there were actually only three crew members on board the airship named Yunfei, except for himself and Pork Chop, who were newly joined -

The person in charge of this observation project, the "Professor", is a mysterious old man from the dragon tribe. He seems to have positions in the three major organizations: the Hunter Guild, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the Wang Li Paleobiology Scribes Team. He puts the exploration of the unknown above all else.

Hardcore scholar.

Lao Hei, an airship operator and mechanic, was a member of the logistics department of the Wang Li Paleontology Scribes Team. He was an enthusiastic and forthright man, and Gordon had a good rapport with him.

Finally, there was a thin young man named Alva, with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and a relatively introverted personality. He seemed to be a student of the professor and was responsible for assisting the professor in observing and recording work.

When the airship passed through the low-altitude clouds, rose to an altitude of more than two thousand meters, and began to fly smoothly, the three of them began their work.

Lao Hei took the helm and recorded the route in real time. The professor scurried between several instruments like a mouse, while Alva, the trainee scrivener, followed hard behind him and hurriedly recorded every set of data he reported.

Among the many instruments, the only thing Gordon could recognize was the telescope. After looking at it like a monkey looking at the moon for a while, Gordon felt bored and had to go back to the cabin first.

The cabin was filled with all kinds of supplies, instruments, and information. It couldn't even accommodate beds. Instead, there were a few simple hammocks.

Pork Chop was lying on one of the hammocks, humming.

it's seasick

It seems that it would be better to travel by land as much as possible in the future.

After taking care of the little guy for a while, after it fell asleep, Gordon entered the idle mode. After being in a daze for a few minutes, he couldn't sit still and returned to the deck.

The professor seemed to have just completed a round of data recording and got back into the cabin to do his own research. Alva, who was also free for the time being, was about to take out a book to kill time when he was caught by Gordon.

Facing Gordon, who was twenty centimeters taller than him and nearly twice his weight, Alva subconsciously shrank his neck.

On the contrary, Lao Hei, who was steering the helm and still had time to look around, said, "Hahaha, you two are about the same age, can we talk more.

Alva, a bookworm who locks himself in a room and studies hard cannot become a formal member of the Scrivener Team. Communicating with all kinds of people and acquiring knowledge and information is also one of the important jobs of Scriveners!"

Out of politeness, Alva bowed shyly to Gordon and introduced himself in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "Hello, Mr. Hunter, I am Alva, a trainee scrivener of the Scriveners Team. Please give me your advice."

Gordon, who was originally just planning to come over and get acquainted, would retreat if the other party didn't want to talk more. He also smiled when he heard this. He waved his hand and said: "Stop using honorifics, just call me Gordon. Don't look at me because I'm big.

In fact, I am only nineteen years old."

"Eh? I'm nineteen years old too."

After discovering that the other person was the same age as himself, Alva seemed to become more relaxed. He pushed up his glasses that slid up the bridge of his nose. Just as he was about to say something else, he was attracted by the orange-red carapace and scales on Gordon's armor.

Notice.

"This, this, this! Is this the carapace of a big strange bird? Can I touch it?" The young trainee scrivener suddenly approached Gordon, showing excitement and enthusiasm that was completely different from his previous personality.

"Yes, yes." Gordon leaned back subconsciously, but did not reject Alva's request.

"Obviously, it is a creature from the family Ornithidae, but it has evolved a carapace similar to that of the family Wyvernidae. Although the shape is slightly different, it is already another manifestation that is completely different from scales! Ah! There is also this wing membrane!

"

Alva stretched out his fingers and tugged on a wing membrane at the joint of Gordon's abdominal armor. "A variety of thin and tough skin membranes are not covered by scales, so they are not as strong as flying dragons, but they are flexible similar to chiropterans."

Alva was chattering as if no one was around, but Gordon's face was full of black lines.

Is this guy really interested in these things?

In order to prevent the other party from continuing to be "stunned", Gordon took the initiative and said: "Alva, have you never seen these carapace wing membranes and the like before?"

Alva, who was awakened from his own world, realized that he was almost stuck to Gordon. He quickly took a few steps back and said with some panic: "Sorry, sorry, I was rude!"

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

Alva pushed up his glasses and continued: "There are these in the herbarium at the Minagard Scriveners' station, but they are all samples stored in glass cabinets, and trainee members like us are not qualified to get started.

Moreover, those specimens are many years old and are not as fresh as the ones you have, Gordon."

Fresh but okay.

Gordon jokingly said: "When you become an official member of the Scrivener Team, you will have the right to issue tasks to hire hunters to protect you into the hunting grounds and observe the monster ecology at close range. By then, what you will see will be the freshest."

'of."

"Is this possible?!" Alva's blue eyes seemed to be shining, "Do people like me also have the opportunity to go into the wild and see those magical creatures with my own eyes?!"

Looking at Alva's thin shoulders and chest, and then at his slender arms and legs, Gordon touched his chin and said, "Are you running fast?"

"ah?"

"Just run. For example, when a monster attacks and the hunter and the monster are fighting, you can't just stand there and watch, right? At this time, you need to run quickly, and of course you can't run too far, so as not to be attacked by others.

The monster grabbed it."

"Yuan, is that so? I'm not good at sports, but I can practice some?" Alva's tone was full of lack of confidence in himself.

"As I understand it, the scrivener team members always have to run around in the wild, taking samples, observing, painting, etc. It's not possible if their physical strength is too low.

In addition to reading, you can also do more exercise, such as squats, frog jumps, long-distance running, etc. Although you may not be able to run away from monsters if you run fast, it is better than staying where you are and waiting to die."

"Young boy Gordon is right." There was also a voice of agreement from Lao Hei.

"Scribes cannot rely solely on the protection of hunters when walking in the wild. Many experienced scriveners will choose to investigate alone.

They don't have the power to fight monsters head-on like hunters, but they can use their knowledge, the natural environment, and guess the monster's action patterns. Coupled with a pair of hardened feet, they can often avert danger.

Just like the person you admire most, the research class leader of the third phase of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team. Even the professor said that he is a "man like the wind". Do you think he is referring to his personality?

No, it’s running speed.”

Alva: "."

Gordon's words with Lao Hei seemed to have opened a new door for him.

In the past, he always felt that the most important thing for a scrivener is knowledge and the brain, and the most direct way to absorb knowledge and enrich the brain is to read books.

He is confident that no one among his peers has read more books than him, but this is not enough. If he wants to break through the shackles of written books, see with his own eyes, and get up close and personal with those fascinating creatures, he must go to the wild.

Use your own feet to walk into the wild!
