Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

  Chapter 49 Minagarde's Workshop

   It was already evening a few days later when we returned to Minagarde City.

  Gordon and the three went straight to the hunter's gathering place—for the hunters who had just completed the mission, clearing the mission was always the top priority.

  The kanban girls standing in front of the task counter are still Tiggy and Marge.

Seeing Gordon and the others approaching, Tiggy and March were obviously stunned. Then, the latter, who was a senior, suddenly held Tiggy on the back of her neck, held her down, and bowed deeply to Gordon together. He bowed and said loudly at the same time:

   "This mission is our negligence, I am very sorry, Mr. Gordon!"

  Tiki seemed to be recalling something bad, her eye circles became red, she sniffled, and apologized aggrievedly together: "I didn't pay attention, I'm sorry."

   At first, Gordon didn't realize it, and helped the two Kanban girls up in a daze. He didn't understand the reason for all this until he heard Madge's explanation.

  As soon as they left that day, the president who learned from Amos that the mission information was wrong and missed severely punished the staff in charge of intelligence collection and mission verification.

   Although Ti Ji, who handled the task registration procedures for Gordon, was not the main person in charge, she was also scolded by the president.

  The kanban lady who was in charge of registering the mission was originally the last hurdle for reviewing the mission information. However, this guy not only failed to find the hidden danger in the mission, but also excitedly recommended it to Gordon.

  If Maggie hadn’t concealed the matter of “introducing the quest in exchange for petting cats” for her, it’s possible that the president, who was in a rage at the time, would have fired her on the spot

   Several people chatted a few more words.

When Tiji and Maqi learned from Hayata that they really encountered the king of the strange face tribe in the hunting ground, if Amos hadn't shot in time, Gordon would have almost disappeared. The mother was even more shocked.

  Tiki, who was still a little bit wronged in her heart, was overwhelmed by guilt.

  She bowed to Gordon seriously again, and solemnly promised with a rare seriousness that she would carefully check every task slip in the future.

  The process of clearing the task was not complicated. After just a few minutes, Gordon got the 4300z reward.

  According to Gordon's thinking, during this mission, Amos taught himself a lot and even saved his life. Even if all of the more than 4,000 Z rewards were paid out, it should be given.

  However, Amos's attitude was quite firm. Before the mission started, he said that he and Hayatta would not receive any rewards for this mission.

   In fact, Gordon also understands that, to put it bluntly, Amos is trying to repay the favor that Gordon saved Pine and Hayatta before going to Gordon.

   Gordon, who couldn't hold back the other party, finally accepted the money, but then he proposed that he treat guests and have a big meal together to celebrate the successful completion of the task.

  Amos did not refuse this time, and ordered meals with his preferential authority. The three people, one cat, and one sea and turf meal ate more than a thousand z, which can be regarded as a successful conclusion to this cooperation.

  After exchanging contact addresses, Gordon said goodbye to Amos and Hayatta.

  He didn't plan to bother the master and apprentice too frequently. After all, the other party also has his own training plan, and it's not good for anyone to follow them all day long.

   After saying goodbye, Gordon and the pork chop returned to the small room that belonged to him.

  After hanging the weapons and armor on the corresponding hangers, Gordon lay down heavily on the not-so-big bed, and the pork chop jumped up.

  The boy and the cat stretched together, and then yawned lazily.

  Only staying for one night, the cottage seemed a little strange, but now it felt a bit more homely.

   "Xixi, Gordon, it's time for you to take a shower, meow, if this continues, the sheets will stink meow."

   "Oh, you're right, let's go to the bathhouse to soak in the hot spring and sauna to relax."

   "Don't meow! The water there is scalding to death meow!"

   "No one is allowed to come out until it's soaked for half an hour!"

   "Reject meow!"

   Early in the morning of the second day, after washing, exercising, and eating a three-piece breakfast, Gordon no longer ran directly to pick up new tasks like a task madman.

  Relaxation and relaxation are the long-term way to combine work and rest.

   Today, Gordon plans to go to the nearby blacksmith workshop to have a look. Since he plans to spend a period of time in Minergard City, this place is always unavoidable.

Occasionally wanting to steal a wave of lazy pork chops, Gordon left them in the hunter's gathering place. There are usually many hunting cats who are not on missions there. friend.

  The workshop is also located in the trade circulation area, near the river, only two or three minutes' walk from the hunter's meeting place.

As the most famous workshop in Minergard City, its scale is much larger than that of the blacksmith shop in Cocote Village. Four chimneys with a height of two or three floors are constantly emitting green smoke. You can see it from afar, very impressive.

  Near the workshop, heavily armed hunters can be seen everywhere, and so is Gordon himself. After all, he still developed this weird habit of wearing armor as a normal suit.

  Gordon came at a good time, it was still early, and there were not many customers in the workshop, so he was able to meet the owner of the workshop directly.

  The workshop owner is an elderly male dragonkin.

In terms of human appearance, he is about sixty years old. His skeleton is relatively large, and the muscles that were once full and bulging have shrunk, but he still gives people the feeling of being old and strong, far from the dementia of the village chief. degree.

   When Gordon came to him, he was stuffing a piece of flavored tobacco in his mouth and chewing slowly.

  Gordon heard that sailors love this kind of chewing tobacco very much, and the owner of the workshop does give people a hard-core look like an old sailor.

"Hello."

  As a junior, Gordon greeted him politely, and the boss nodded to him. His attitude was not too enthusiastic, but he was not indifferent either.

   "Hello young man, have you just come to Minagarde?"

  The owner of the workshop said hello, and his eyes glanced at the armor on Gordon's body and the weapon behind him. This is the habit of a craftsman.

   "Yeah, I've only been here for a few days." Gordon responded with a smile.

   "Forging? Strengthening? Repairing? What do you want to build? To be honest, our craftsmanship is the best in the entire Micheng." The boss's character is very straightforward, and after a simple and polite sentence, he entered the topic.

  Gordon nodded, he really didn't just come to hang out.

  After the knife fight with the King of the Odd Face Clan before, one of the claws of the Explosive Knife was smashed and deformed, and could not be retracted into the blade. It must be repaired to avoid affecting the next hunting.

  Remove the Explosive Knife from the back and place it horizontally in front of the workshop boss.

   Without further explanation from him, the boss has already picked up a small hammer and checked it by himself.

   When it comes to the great sword of Explosive Knife, the owner of the workshop is too familiar with it.

  The power is good, and the materials are easy to obtain. At least half of the ten great swordsmen have used this kind of great sword. The internal structure is clear.

   After a while, he raised the Explosive Knife and operated it lightly a few times. The claws popped out flexibly and then retracted. The workshop owner couldn't help but nodded, "The craftsmanship is not bad."

  As a master blacksmith, being able to be worthy of him is already a very high evaluation.
