Chapter 129 On the road again
"How come you can already apply for the assessment task to be promoted to a four-star? Didn't you just get promoted to a three-star hunter within a few months?" An Xil almost jumped up from his seat.
Gordon showed two rows of teeth with some pride: "Because I have been taking advantage of other people's three-star missions during the year I was in Minagard City, so the number of three-star missions accumulated in my hunter's notebook has reached the level of promotion. standard."
“Can it still be like this?” Anxier stared, without any trace of his previous graceful and calm look.
In fact, Gordon himself only noticed it after being reminded by the poster girl Marian. Not to mention, perhaps this was his biggest gain during his period as a "two-and-a-half-star hunter".
—Saved nearly a whole year!
Anhil cursed and took out his hunter's notebook, looked through it and calculated the formation, and said with some surprise: "Hey, actually I do too."
“Have you met the standard too?”
Ancier put away the hunter's note, "Not yet, but it will be soon. Counting the mission to capture the lava dragon, there is still one three-star hunting mission left before I can apply for promotion."
Gordon nodded when he heard this.
It’s not surprising. It’s true that he took advantage of his “privilege” during the Minagard period to participate in three-star missions crazily. Anhil didn’t fish after becoming a three-star hunter.
Over the past year or so, this guy has been traveling around in search of breakthroughs and has solved quite a few three-star monsters.
“So, should we complete another three-star hunting mission in the volcanic area before leaving, or should we find a three-star hunting mission on the way after leaving the volcano?” Gordon asked.
No matter what, he decided to help Ancier get the qualifications to apply for promotion to a four-star hunter first.
It would be best if the two of them could apply for the promotion mission together, because they are both three-star hunters, and hunting in a team is not a violation.
If Gordon is promoted to four stars first, he will not be able to participate in Ancil's promotion mission. In order to prevent hunters from cheating, high-star players are expressly prohibited from helping low-star players pass promotion missions.
Anhil naturally understood what Gordon meant. He pondered for a few seconds and then said: "Let's find tasks to do on the way to Kokot Village. The volcano is a little tired of being idle, so just relax on the way."
“Okay, then it’s decided!”
Gordon is a man of strong action, and coincidentally, so is Ancil.
The day after they decided to leave, the two immediately sold off most of the materials they would not use in the future. After packing the remaining luggage, they asked a caravan to send it to Kokot Village.
In the past few months based in Naguli Village, they spent most of their time mining in the volcanic zone.
Hence, there are not many people with whom we have friendships. There are only three people in total, and that’s all, including Marianne, the waitress.
As for the other two, they are naturally the water beast girl Lily, and the father and daughter of the Tulong tribe village chief.
There was no other way to say goodbye to the two barrels. In short, they were full of ale. That night, Gordon and Ancil, who were drunk, were dragged back by the pork chop.
As a result of saying goodbye like this, the two people's schedule was forced to be postponed for one more day.
Gordon, who has a good drinking capacity, was fine, but he woke up the next day with a hangover and a headache.
The worst thing is that Anhil, this guy who usually drinks a little bit of red wine just for fun, has been vomiting all night, and even the bile has been vomited out. At this time, he is putting the back of his hand to his forehead, lying flat on the bed and moaning.
Gordon picked up a chair and sat down next to Ancil's bedside table, as if accompanying a patient in the ward.
Gordon, who is more than 190 years old and as strong and generous as a wall, naturally cannot learn the gentle techniques of nurses. Regardless of someone's weak protest, he pinched his mouth open and poured in half a bottle of cold water. , he said:
“By the way, we haven’t decided how to travel yet. Should we walk with the caravan? Take a boat? Or take an airship?”
“Do we have to discuss these now?” Anhil said weakly.
“Hey” Anhir sighed.
He sat up from the bed, kicked away the pig that was napping on his lap, and looked at Gordon in front of the bed. He had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, like "the father is seriously ill, and the unfilial son asks about the inheritance at the bedside."
Gordon: “What’s that look in your eyes?”
Anhil waved his hand, "I suggest taking an airship. There is a line from Naguli Village to East Doruma. After arriving in East Doruma, we can transfer to the airship to Minagard or Melchita. This distance is Kokot Village is not far away.”
Hearing this, Gordon and Zhupa looked at each other and shook their heads together.
Anhil: "?"
Gordon said: "Taking an airship is too dangerous. We haven't gotten over the psychological shadow yet. Let's find another means of transportation."
"The **** has not come out of his psychological shadow." Ancier said angrily: "Do you think the ancient dragon is a big wild boar? If you say you encounter it, you will encounter it? How comfortable it is to fly in an airship, fast and safe."
Gordon and Pork Chop looked at each other again.
“Two to one, the proposal is invalid, no airship.”
“Don’t take advantage of meow.”
Anhil: "."
Where is my crystal rifle?
After a few words of chatting with each other, seeing that Gordon and the others were firm, Ancil compromised and said slowly: "If you don't want to take the airship, don't take it. Then the only option is to take the boat.
It is impossible to follow the caravan by land, because the caravan will also take a boat. The Giokeruk Sea (inland sea) separates Naguli Village and Kokot Village, so the land route needs to go around the sea.
To go west, you must first cross the land bridge, and then traverse the entire Metabe forest. To the north, it is even more outrageous. You must first pass through the unknown sea of trees, then climb over the Sky Mountain, and finally cross the Curbutios Wetland. , to finally arrive at Kokot Village. "
Gordon couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth when he heard this.
This way down, climbing over mountains and ridges is a bit too exciting.
“If we take the boat, where will we go?” Gordon asked.
Anhil opened the bedside table, pulled out a map of the continent, and said: "The most important route must be to East Doruma, in order to send the ore from the volcanic zone.
Another route is to Metabetat, which is a small city. "
Gordon nodded and said: "I know Metabetate. Although I have never been there, it is not too far from Kokot Village. Let's choose this route.
Take a boat across the inland sea and land in Metabetate City. It is best to complete a three-star hunting mission there so that you can qualify for promotion.
Then, we will walk to Kokot Village. I am familiar with the hilly terrain in the nearby area, so it is stable! "
On the third day after receiving the hero's stone, Gordon and his party, fully armed and ready for the trip, bid farewell to the village chief and his daughter and embarked on the journey again.
Gordon, who lacked geographical knowledge, originally thought that he could take a boat directly to sea after leaving Naguli Village, but the reality gave him a big surprise.
The port near Naguli Village is open to the open sea. If you want to take a boat across the inland sea, you must cross the volcano from the western foot and go out to sea from another port hundreds of kilometers away.
This is another excruciating journey.
A few days later.
Leaving the area shrouded in volcanic ash, Gordon and his party arrived at the southeastern port of the Geokrok Sea and finally saw the blue sky after months of absence.
Ps. It was a bit difficult to write this chapter. I checked a lot of map information, but looking back it seems a bit unnecessary.
