Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 100 The heavy crossbowman from East Doruma

  The registration process was very smooth and fast.

  —Hundreds of hunters come to Naguli Village every year to mine and dig stone guards.

  After finishing the process, Gordon came to the tavern area. Isana had already drank it. She almost drank the one-liter ice beer in one gulp. Then she grabbed the skewers in front of her and chomped.

   "Long live ice ale and spicy roasted lizard!" Swallowing the food in her mouth forcefully, Isana raised her arms high and cheered.

  Gordon looked greedy, so he called the waiter to order a few of the same ones. The pork chop couldn't eat spicy ones at all, so he ordered another special sausage for it.

  The food and wine were served soon.

Gordon took a sip of the iced ale first. The ale itself was not much different from Minergard's, but the bitterness was a bit stronger. was a treat!

   Then Gordon grabbed another skewer of grilled lizards.

  The whole palm-length lizard was worn on an iron skewer, and it was sprinkled with red chili powder. It looked a bit strange. Under the encouraging eyes of Isana on the opposite side of the wine table, Gordon closed his eyes and bit down.

   And then he got kicked

   Quickly poured a few sips of ale, and the moment the cold liquid touched his tongue, Gordon finally understood the essence of it.

   What I want is the excitement of the two heavens of ice and fire!

  Isana ate and drank very quickly. Almost in a blink of an eye, two servings of ice ale with spicy grilled lizard entered her stomach.

   "Hi! It's cool! It's time to go back and continue working. Brother Gordon, please work hard~!"

  Seeing that Gordon paid her bill together, Isana didn't pretend to shirk. After thanking him generously, she smiled and promised to give him a discount if he wanted to build equipment next time.

  Gordon realized that the girl in front of him was actually the head of the blacksmith workshop in Naguli Village, which is famous for its forging, and the village head of the Tulong tribe would only act when faced with some special orders.

  Boss!

  Isana stretched her waist and left the tavern, and continued to complete the order. Gordon didn't drink too much.

He intends to ask the Kanban lady to find out where he can rent a place to rent. According to an old dragon who loves to chew tobacco leaves, if he wants to dig out the stone guard he likes, it will take at least a month or two to start. Find a foothold first.

   Came to the counter again, and the Kanban lady took the initiative to say hello.

   "Mr. Gordon, may I help you?"

  Different from large strongholds like Minergard, the hunter’s gathering place in Naguli Village has only one Kanban lady, a capable and mature older sister. (Not Sophia, sadly)

   "Miss Marianne, I would like to inquire if there are any rentable houses in the meeting place. I may stay in Naguli Village for a while." Gordon was quite polite in his words and deeds.

  Miss Marianne seemed to belong to the kind of serious person. Facing her, Gordon couldn't help becoming serious.

  Flipping through the records, Miss Marianne nodded and said, "Mr. Gordon, there is one last vacant room in the assembly hall, but it is a double room. Would you like to rent it?"

  Gordon breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "The last one? Let's rent it. Can I rent it for a month?"

   "Of course, the rent is 5000z, are you going to pay now?"

"Um."

  Gordon paid the rent happily. The rent for a double room is naturally more expensive than a single room, but Gordon has no other choice. At worst, another bed can be used for pork chops, which is not a waste.

  But at this moment, another figure came to the counter.

  The visitor was also a young hunter. He was tall and thin, with a straight nose and deep eye sockets. His light gray pupils gave off a cool feeling, which was impressive.

  Gordon, who is also a hunter, is naturally not the opponent's appearance, but the equipment.

  The dark blue and light blue armor looks very thin, without any armor at all. The skirt is painted with beautiful dark patterns, and the hem is split in two. It is almost the same as the tuxedo often worn by noble gentlemen.

   This is the flying beetle suit. Gordon has seen the same equipment in Minagarde. It has the special effect of reducing recoil and is an excellent armor for shooters.

  The flying beetle is not a large monster, but an insect similar to a giant bee, but Gordon still believes that his strength must be extraordinary.

  The reason is simple, this is a heavy crossbow envoy.

  The heavy ballista with outstanding firepower, excellent range, but insufficient agility is not a weapon suitable for dealing with flying beetles.

  These half-meter-long little guys always appear in groups, and their flying speed is extremely fast, which makes shooters feel very headache.

  At the same time, similar to the giant bee, the body structure of the flying beetle is very fragile, and a slightly powerful attack will cause their body to be torn apart, making it impossible to collect materials at all.

   Only a well-timed attack can kill them while leaving a complete corpse, which is very difficult to grasp.

  Imagine how a hunter holding a heavy ballista can accurately kill the swarm of flying beetles flying around him, and at the same time control the attack strength so as not to crush the flying beetle's corpse?

   This is an absolute nightmare for novice heavy crossbowmen.

  The strange heavy crossbow envoy spoke. His words were polite and his manners were elegant, but his tone was as cold as his expression. "Hi, I need a room. Is there any room available?"

  Miss Marianne bowed lightly, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Hunter, there are no rooms available."

  Heavy crossbow made Wen Yan frowned, but didn't say much, nodded his jaw and prepared to leave.

  There are other hotels and homestays in the village, and there are always places to rent, but it is most convenient to live in the meeting place.

   "Wait!" Gordon stopped him suddenly, "I just rented the last room, but it's a double room, we can share if you don't mind."

  When you are away from home, it is convenient to be with others.

  Of course, the most important reason is that the monthly rent of 5000z really hurt Gordon

  The single room I rented in Minagarde was only 2000z a month, and it was still a big city. Should it be said that there are too many hunters coming to Naguli Village?

  The heavy crossbowman stopped in his tracks, he seemed hesitant.

  Gordon shrugged and said: "I'm here to dig the guard stone, anyway, I spend most of my time in the volcano hunting grounds, and it's a waste of resources to monopolize the double room.

   Of course, the decision is yours. "

"Okay." After pondering for two seconds, the heavy crossbow envoy still agreed, "I rent a house mainly to store materials, and shooters have a lot of things. If you don't mind me using more space, I can be responsible for more proportions. rent."

   Gordon nodded.

  His stuff is really not too much, even with the Explosive Knife and ore suits that have not yet been delivered, it is far from enough to fill a locker.

   "Miss Marianne, can I share the previous room with this one?" Gordon asked, looking at the kanban lady Marianne.

   "Of course." Marianne responded with a smile.

   After asking about the rent, the heavy crossbow envoy happily paid 3000z to Gordon, then took off his top hat-like helmet and introduced himself:

   "Thank you for your willingness to share the rental house. My name is Anshir, Anshir Sterling, a three-star hunter, from East Doruma."
