Chapter 178 Target Gunpowder Rock
After exchanging a few words with Ancil, Gordon nodded and said: "We have joined this mission and can go and register now."
“Julius.” The master smiled and looked at the dual-sword user standing quietly aside.
"I understand, Master." Julius nodded his chin at Gordon and the two, "You two, come with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the task counter, and Gordon Anhill followed him.
—As the initial recipient of the mission, Julius has the right to decide who can join the mission. With him accompanying him to register for the mission, the process will be much faster.
Seeing the three people coming together, not only the triplets but also the guild manager were a little surprised.
“The former East Doruma Twin Stars, coupled with the great swordsman Gordon with equally outstanding strength and potential, are really a luxurious configuration for collection tasks.”
The guild leader held a small pipe in his mouth and puffed away smoke.
It seems that most dragon people like to smoke when they get older?
Gordon muttered in his heart.
The task registration process went smoothly, and Gordon and Ancil quickly received the task documents for participating in the task.

As the master craftsman revealed before, although it is a collection mission, you may encounter the five-star dangerous monster Explosion Hammer Dragon, so you need to be prepared for a battle.
“Get ready each other, gather at the assembly center tomorrow morning, and then take the airship to Mount Latio for the mission. Is there any problem?” Julius looked at the two of them and asked.
Gordon shrugged and said that there was no problem on his side.
Anhil raised his hand, "I saw that the number of participants in the mission is three. Doesn't your all-around shooter teammate participate?"
Julius replied: "Unfortunately, Nadia is undergoing an assessment task to be promoted to four stars and cannot participate. You are the only shooter."
“Will you recruit a fourth teammate?” Anhir asked again.
"Won't."
Julius replied without hesitation, "I know your strength well. Mr. Gordon can form a regular team with you, so his strength must not be bad.
Recruiting another strange hunter may not be able to cooperate and hinder us, so it is unnecessary. "
Gordon glanced at the proud swordsman and said nothing.
Although what this guy said may not be pleasant to hear, it is also true. Trying to gain recognition without showing your strength is just a dream.
“By the way, I didn’t even have time to ask you.”
Ancil frowned and stared at Julius, "What is your current hunter level?"
The corners of Julius's lips curled up slightly, "The five-star who was promoted last month."
“Tsk, you got the better of me again.”
Gordon and Ancil, who have spent several months in Nagulli Village, have a deep understanding of the harsh environment in the volcanic zone.
As a swordsman, Gordon still travels lightly. The fire attribute of the Fire Dragon Flame Sword is a little tricky to deal with volcanic monsters, but even if attributes are put aside, this is still a physical sword with first-rate attack power, so it doesn't matter.
Ancier brought the Sickle Heavy Crossbow Crystal Rifle, as well as a large number of water-cooled bullets and ice-cooled bullets.
Hunting props such as traps and flash bombs are also common. Since learning from Miles for a while, this guy has become more cautious in preparing for hunting.
As many old hunters say, the more experienced swordsmen bring fewer props, and the better shooters bring more props.
Early the next morning, when Gordon saw Julius, who was also lightly dressed and simple, at the door of the hunter's meeting house.
The two of them mocked Anhil, who was eager to pull a cart to load luggage, and the relationship inexplicably became closer.
The straight-line distance between Latio Volcano and Dongdoruma is actually not too far, but it is blocked by the Giogluk Inland Sea.
If you take the land route, you have to go around a large circle over mountains and ridges, and the distance needs to be measured in months. If you take the sea route, it takes about five days, but if you take an airboat, you can get there in more than a day.
This is the first time that Gordon has experienced firsthand the convenience of Dongdoruma, as the largest city in the mainland, being located at the central transportation hub of the mainland.
Obviously it was a trip over mountains and seas, but it was faster than going to the nearby Senqiu Hunting Ground when we were in Kokot Village.
“Is this Gordon’s first time riding an airship?” Julius walked up to Gordon who was standing at the front of the deck blowing the wind, and the air current blew up his long hair.
Gordon didn't expect that Julius would take the initiative to talk to him, and replied with a smile: "I took a ride once two years ago, also to the volcano, but the memory of that time was not very good."
“The airship broke down?”
Gordon laughed twice and said: "We encountered a monster and the plane crashed. Fortunately, no one died."
Julius was stunned for a moment, "I don't know whether I should say you have bad luck or good luck. Ordinary monsters can't get up to the height of the airship. Did you encounter a male fire dragon? Or some other kind of flying dragon?"
Gordon took a look at the equipment on Julius.
The weapon is the "Holy Saber" and the armor is the "Guild Knight Set". They are all internal equipment of the Hunter Guild that can only be built using "Guild Tickets".
In other words, this guy should be a direct descendant of the semi-official guild.
That shouldn’t be a big problem.
Gordon told Julius about his encounter with Lan Long, and the latter was legitimately shocked.
“Two years ago, Lanlong, were you an eyewitness to that incident?”
“Well, is this famous?”
Julius calmed down his emotions and put his palms on the guardrail, "Of course ordinary people don't know it, but it caused a sensation among the top leaders of the three major organizations: the Hunter Guild, the Gulong Observation Bureau and the Scriveners Team.
Most of the information about the ancient dragon comes from legends. This is the first time in the past ten years that professional scholars have had close contact with the ancient dragon, observed it, and completed surveying and mapping.
These things were told to me by my master, otherwise I wouldn’t be qualified to know them due to my level as a hunter.”
When talking about the topic about the ancient dragon, Julius's mood was obviously abnormal. He paused for a few seconds and asked, "Gordon, how do you feel when you face the ancient dragon?"
Gordon didn’t think much about it. He stroked his chin and recalled: “The aura was amazing. Just being stared at by it made his whole body feel like it was bound by invisible ropes.
It’s not the “ferocious” or “ferocious” feeling of ordinary monsters, but "
"But another level of life, looking down from above?" Julius continued Gordon's words and said slowly: "Every move is a natural disaster, like a god-like creature."
“You have also faced Cologne, right.” Gordon looked at Julius. Although he was asking a question, his tone was quite affirmative.
“Hmm.” Julius nodded, not interested in talking. Instead, he stared into Gordon’s eyes and asked another question.
“What would you do if you had the chance to face the ancient dragon again.”
Hearing this, Gordon grinned and said with a smile: "I think it's a challenge."
Julius was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "If you can, please invite me to join you."
