Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Autumn has passed and winter has come, spring has passed and summer has come, and it has been nearly a year since I escaped from the "Queen's Ruins City".

An empty boat landed on a platform among the mountains.

"Ah! The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the mountains are green! Finally, I'm back!" Gordon, who jumped off the airship, opened his arms wide.

He kept taking deep breaths, greedily filling his lungs with the slightly humid fresh air above the high mountains, washing away the damn sulfur smell, until his head was slightly dizzy.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Anshir mocked Gordon, but couldn't help but took a deep breath.

Sarcasm is sarcasm, but he has to admit in his heart that the air quality in Berna Village is much better than the scorching hot and smoggy air in the volcanic area.

"This trip to the volcano is really long enough." Gordon exhaled the last trace of turbid air in his lungs, and his body seemed to relax, "Look at the pork chops, hahahaha!"

"Meow-- # !"

The hair color of Elu is light, and after staying in hot areas for a long time, the hair color will gradually become darker.

The pork chop right now is dark brown and looks like it was burnt

Based on the experience of digging the guard stone a few years ago, it is estimated that the coat color will take several months to slowly fade back.

"Two and a half months, it's really long enough, that man with glasses is really good at calling people." An Xier rubbed the head of the pork chop, and said with a light smile: "I'll get someone to escort you from East Doruma later. Here comes the hair cream."

"I said, is that set of excavation equipment really that good? It's worth squatting in the depths of the volcano and serving as guards for the archaeological team of Longli Academy for more than two months?" Gordon said with a slap in the face.

It's not a big deal to spend two or three months for his companions, and Anshir usually accompanies him to collect materials.

What's more, this time was Ansir's rare active request.

The question is whether the pay is right.

If it is a complete set, it will be nothing more than usable equipment. It is normal to spend several months preparing materials and getting a set of armor.

But that is simply a set of "antiques" that have been passed down from ancient times!

Dilapidated, although the main body is still there, it is obviously unusable unless the same main material is found and repaired.

But the problem is, they don't even know what monster the main material of this set of excavation equipment comes from, so how should they collect it?

Anshir pinched his chin, "Well, I admit that there is an element of gambling, but my intuition tells me that if I don't take this set of equipment, I will definitely regret it in the future.

More importantly, didn't those archaeologists say that this set of equipment reacts strongly to dragon attribute energy, and the main source of material should be some kind of high-ranking ancient dragon. "

"Isn't it because of the appearance of this set of equipment that you have stepped on your aesthetics in all directions?"

".It cannot be said that there is no such reason at all."

"Tsk, you exteriorists."

The two chatted all the way, and finally came to the hunter's "small" house that Anshir rented, which was more spacious, double-storey, and had its own basement and workshop.

As for Gordon's own hut, it had been reduced to a place he and Pig Chop would only consider going back to when they slept at night.

After returning to the hut, the first thing Gordon, Anshir and the pork chop did was not to rest, take a bath or eat or something.

Instead, carefully clean up and maintain their respective equipment-for hunters, this is the most important thing.

Gordon dug out several wrenches and screwdrivers of different sizes from the toolbox, with a pair of tweezers in his mouth.

At this time, he didn't look like a hunter, but a mechanic who squatted in the boiler room every day.

Looking at the "Dragon Heat Mechanism [Steel Wing] Change" placed horizontally on the workbench, Gordon heaved a long sigh.

This one adopts a new energy supply system, using various precious materials such as dragon jade, ancient dragon's blood, prison flame stone, etc., and then the master craftsman and chief engineer of Longli Academy personally work out the advanced version of the jet sword. , it can be said that anywhere is good.

Sharpness, destructive power, and feel are all top-notch.

It is quite troublesome for daily maintenance.

For this reason, he had to spend a special period of time, running to find someone to learn a lot of knowledge about mechanical maintenance.

It's just to keep the sword in the best condition at all times, so as to avoid the embarrassing accident that the propulsion device suddenly turns off in the middle of the battle one day.

According to the master craftsmen and master craftsmen, the reason why the word "change" was added to the "Longhot Mechanism [Steel Wing] Kai" is because the technology is still not mature enough.

It's still too delicate.

If it is a ritual knife used by princes and nobles, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming.

But this is a hunter's weapon, especially a swordsman's weapon, and the durability of the leather can be said to be the top priority.

If it weren't for the "modification", the failure rate has indeed dropped a lot, and even if the propulsion engine fails, this is still a very good metal sword.

Gordon might not even dare to use it.

Perhaps, only when the "bionics reference object" suitable for the jet sword and the corresponding materials are found one day, the delicate problems common to this kind of precision machinery will be truly solved.

After maintaining his ballista and skeletal spider armor, Anshir displayed the "antique" set he had just acquired.

He even brought in a personal frame, carefully straightened and leveled the broken equipment, and then looked around as if appreciating a work of art.

"Excellent design is always pleasing to the eye."

After cleaning off the non-existent dust on the antique armor with a small soft brush, Anshir couldn't help feeling, "Even though it came from ancient times, human beings' pursuit of 'beauty' and 'elegance' has always been in common.

It’s really exciting to see the day when you will finally shine again.”

Listening to Anshir's gentle voice when he "dialogues" with the antique armor, Gordon couldn't help but roll his eyes.

In the past, he would only say these "love words" to his heavy ballista, but now the disease has worsened and spread to the armor.

Hertha is pathetic.

To be honest, this set of antique armor, which was almost regarded as a lover by Anshir, was really pretty.

The main part is not made of hard armor, but the wing membrane of some kind of monster, which looks soft but is actually tough.

The intersecting main colors of blue, white, and gold give this set of equipment a sufficient "high-level sense", especially the golden part, which Gordon has never seen before.

It's not the dazzling and gorgeous golden yellow of gold, but the white gold has a hint of illusory blue, like some kind of naturally formed jewelry, which is pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, this equipment is disabled

The chest, back, greaves, and shoulder armor were damaged in many places. I don't know if the original owner died tragically during his lifetime, or the erosion of time caused all this.

Anyway, in the eyes of a pragmatist like Gordon, something that cannot be used is worthless.

"It's really beautiful!" Anshir couldn't help but praised again.

Gordon: "."

are you crazy!

Just when Gordon was hesitating, should he send Anshir to Dondoruma, and let Miss Herta give him a good brain repair.

There was a knock on the door of the hunter's hut.

Lie Feng sloppily ran over to open the door, and standing outside the door was Yuna from the "Cross Squad" whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The lively sledgehammer rubbed Gale Feng's furry dog's head vigorously, and then waved to Gordon and the others energetically.

"Senior Gordon, Senior Anshir, long time no see!"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Hello."

After greeting each other, Yuna took out a letter.

"This was just sent to the village a few days ago. When you were not here, the village elder uncle helped to store it for the time being. I just heard from the village chief that when I saw you came back, let me send it over!"

Yuna handed out the letter, "According to the messenger, it's a letter from Yanhuo Village."
