Chapter 100 The Heavy Crossbow Envoy from East Doruma
The registration process was very smooth and fast.
—Hundreds of hunters come to Naguli Village every year to dig for mines and protective stones, and the waitress has long been familiar with them.
After finishing the processing, Gordon came to the tavern area. Isana had already started drinking. She almost drank the one-liter ice ale in one go, then grabbed the skewers in front of her and munched on them.
“Long live the iced ale and spicy grilled lizard!” Isana swallowed the food in her mouth hard and raised her arms high in cheers.
Gordon looked greedy and asked the waiter to order several of the same thing. The pork chop couldn't bear the spicy one at all, so he ordered another special sausage for it.
The food and wine were quickly served.
Gordon took a sip of the iced ale first. The ale itself was not much different from the one in Minagard, except that the bitter taste was stronger. After being chilled, he drank it with a big gulp in the hot Naguli Village. The heat dissipated. What a treat!
Then Gordon grabbed another skewer of grilled lizard.
The whole palm-long lizard was threaded on an iron stick, and it was sprinkled with red chili powder. It looked a bit strange. Under the encouraging gaze of Isana across the wine table, Gordon closed his eyes and bit it.
Then he was burned
He quickly took a few sips of ale, and the moment the cold liquid hit his tongue, Gordon finally understood the essence of it.
What I want is this exciting feeling of ice and fire!
Isana ate and drank very quickly, and almost in the blink of an eye, two servings of ice ale and spicy grilled lizard entered her stomach.
“Hey! I feel so good! It’s time to go back to work. Come on, Brother Gordon~!”
Seeing that Gordon paid her bill together, Isana did not pretend to be evasive. After thanking him generously, she smiled and promised to give him a discount next time she wanted to build equipment.
Only then did Gordon realize that the girl in front of him was actually the head of the blacksmith workshop in Naguli Village, which was famous for its forging. The Tulong Village Chief only took action when faced with some special orders.
Big brother!
Isana stretched herself out of the tavern and continued to complete the order. Gordon didn't drink too much.
He planned to go to the landlady to inquire about where he could rent a place to live. According to an old dragon man who loved chewing tobacco leaves, it would take at least a month or two to dig out the protective stone he wanted. Find a place to stay first.
When I came to the counter again, the waitress took the initiative to say hello.
“Mr. Gordon, how can I help you?”
Different from the large strongholds like Minagard, the hunter gathering place in Naguli Village only has one lookout girl, a big sister who looks capable and mature. (Not Sophia, sad)
"Miss Marianne, I would like to know if there are any houses available for rent in the assembly hall. I may stay in Naguli Village for a while." Gordon was quite polite in his words and deeds.
Miss Marianne seemed to be a more serious person, and facing her, Gordon couldn't help but become serious.
After checking 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. Do you want to rent it?"
Gordon was relieved when he heard this, "The last room? Let's rent it. Can I rent it for a month first?"
“Of course, the rent is 5000z. Are you ready to pay it now?”
"Um."
Gordon paid the rent happily. The rent for a double room was naturally more expensive than a single room, but Gordon had no other choice. At most, it would not be a waste to use another bed for the pig to sleep on.
The visitor is also a young hunter. He is tall and thin, with a high nose and deep eye sockets. His light gray pupils give people a cold feeling, which is impressive.
As a hunter, Gordon is naturally not concerned about the opponent's appearance, but the equipment.
The dark blue and light blue armor looks very thin and has no armor at all. The skirt is painted with beautiful dark patterns, and the hem is split into 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 Minagard. 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 user.
The heavy ballistae, which has outstanding firepower and excellent range, but lacks agility, is not a weapon suitable for dealing with flying beetles.
These little guys, which are more than half a meter long, always appear in groups. They fly extremely fast and are a headache for shooters.
At the same time, similar to giant bees, the body structure of flying beetles is very fragile. A slightly powerful attack will cause their bodies to fall apart, making it impossible to collect materials.
Only a well-placed attack can kill them while leaving intact corpses. This strength is very difficult to control.
Imagine how a hunter carrying a heavy ballista can accurately kill the flying beetle swarms flying around him, while also controlling the intensity of the attack so as not to crush the flying beetle's body?
This is an absolute nightmare for novice heavy crossbow users.
The strange heavy crossbow user spoke. His words were polite and his manners were elegant, but his tone was as cold as his expression. "Hello, I need a room. Is there any room available?"
Miss Marian bowed slightly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hunter, there is no room available."
The heavy crossbowman frowned when he heard this, but he didn’t say much, nodded his chin and prepared to leave.
There are other hotels and B&Bs in the village, and there is always a place to rent, but it is most convenient to live in the meeting house.
"Wait!" Gordon suddenly stopped him, "I just rented the last room, but it's a double room. If you don't mind, we can share it."
When you go out, being convenient to others means being convenient to others.
Of course, the most important reason is that the monthly rent of 5,000z really makes Gordon feel a little bit pained.
The single room I rented in Minagard was only 2000z per month. It was still a big city. Should I say that there were too many hunters coming to Naguli Village?
The heavy crossbowman stopped, and he seemed to be hesitant.
Gordon shrugged and said: "I'm here to dig for stone protection. Anyway, I will spend most of my time in the volcano hunting ground. It is a waste of resources to have a double room exclusively.
Of course, the decision is yours. "
"Okay." After pondering for two seconds, the Heavy Crossbow user agreed, "I rent the house mainly to store materials. There are more things for shooters. If you don't mind me using more space, I can be responsible for more proportions. of rent.”
Gordon nodded.
His things really don't have much. Even if he adds the blasting knife and ore set that haven't been delivered yet, they can't even fill a locker.
"Miss Marian, can I share the room with this one?" Gordon looked at the waitress Marian and asked.
“Of course.” Marianne responded with a smile.
After asking about the rent, the heavy crossbowman happily paid 3000z to Gordon, then took off his hat-like helmet and introduced himself:
“Thank you for your willingness to share the rental house. My name is Anhil, Anhil Sterling, a three-star hunter from East Doruma.”
