Chapter 29: Save it when I come back
The conversation lasted for a long time.
Middle-aged men are really easily sentimental. This was confirmed by Gordon in Ernest.
The old guy actually wiped away tears after talking about it. What else was he blaming himself for? Was it because he failed to provide Gordon with a good enough growing environment?
After listening in confusion for a long time, Gordon finally understood what the instructor and the village chief meant.
—Kokot Village is too remote and lacks the "soil" necessary for growth. If he wants to continue to become stronger, he should go out for a walk.
Then, let’s go out for a walk?
Although I feel a little reluctant to leave everyone in Kokot Village, I think of the opportunity to see a wider world and challenge those unheard of mysterious monsters.
The sadness and reluctance in my heart have long since disappeared!
Of course, he didn’t forget to ask Pig Chop’s opinion, and it turned out that Pork Chop’s idea was simpler.
For it, coming to Kokot Village is just a part of practicing away from home. As long as it can continue to follow Gordon, what difference does it make in Kokot Village or somewhere else?
In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about. Gordon's super mobility is his shortcoming, but it is also his advantage.
Once he makes up his mind, he will move towards his goal with the highest efficiency.
It took Gordon nearly a week to sell and dispose of the various furs and medicinal materials collected in the past two or three years. Except for some necessary materials related to hunting, the rest were replaced with precious metals and cash that were easy to carry.
He felt that he had never been so rich!
Fortunately, there was an instructor to wind it up for him.
Ernest was like a talkative old lady, nagging and reminding Gordon repeatedly that unlike in remote villages, where many things could be self-sufficient, in the city, everything had to be spent.
Even though you have a lot of money on hand now, if you don’t pay attention to it when the time comes, you won’t be able to afford spending this little money.
Hunters actually belong to the high-income group. It would be too miserable to be reduced to hunting for tomorrow’s meal and accommodation expenses.
ˆAbout where to go as the first stop after leaving Kokot Village.
Gordon decided to ask the instructor and the village chief for their opinions, but what he didn't expect was that the instructor and the village chief actually had differences on this issue.
The destination recommended by the instructor is East Doruma City, the largest and most prosperous metropolis in mankind, standing in the center of the continent.
The headquarters of the Hunter Guild, the headquarters of the Wang Li Paleontology Scribes Team, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the largest hunter gathering in the world are all set up there.
East Doruma not only gathers the best hunters in the world, but also has the best blacksmith workshops, trading markets, survey teams, transportation facilities and other related resources in the world.
In East Doruma, you can even take an airship and reach any hunting ground on the mainland in just a few days. This is a convenience that Gordon, who lives in Kokot Village, could never imagine.
However, the village chief objected.
He said that the city of East Doruma is indeed very good, but it is too good and too perfect. If Gordon, who has little knowledge, chooses it as the initial stop of his journey.
Then, it is very likely to become the terminal point of the journey.
Excessive prosperity is a chronic poison that wears away the will.
Hearing these words, Gordon realized clearly for the first time.
—This old man’s usual appearance of Alzheimer’s disease is really all fake? ? !
The village chief, who didn't know what impolite thoughts Gordon had in mind at this time, continued to make his own suggestions.
There are two places he recommended. One is Jiangbo Village in the coastal area in the southeast of the mainland.
He also knows the head of Jiangbo Village, a young and very thoughtful descendant of the Dragon Tribe. He is convinced that under the leadership of the young village head, within a few decades, another big city will be built in the southeast of the mainland.
If Gordon goes there, it is a very good choice whether it is for a short stay or a long-term settlement.
Another recommended location is more conservative.
—Seaside city, Minagard City.
This is the closest human city to Kokot Village. Although it is not as good as Dongdoruma, it is still among the top ten prosperous cities in the mainland.
The biggest advantage of choosing here is "familiarity".
Whether it is daily life aspects such as diet, dialect, climate conditions and folk customs, or hunting-related aspects such as hunting environment and ecological distribution of monsters, they all have something in common with Kokot Village.
At the same time, Minagard City has abundant resources that Kokot Village cannot match, which is enough to provide Gordon with the best growth environment.
It can be said that it is the most suitable "pedal" for Gordon, a young bird that has just learned to fly, after leaving the nest.
Three options were placed in front of Gordon for him to choose from.
Gordon was holding the pork chop, choosing from left to right, and first eliminated the option of Jiangbo Village.
Keket Village is located in the northwest corner of the mainland, while Jiangbo Village is located in the southeast of the mainland. The climate environment and natural ecology of the two places are very different.
Gordon really has no interest in crossing the entire continent as soon as he leaves home, running to another remote wilderness to engage in construction. Everyone admires pioneers, but not everyone can be a pioneer.
After hesitating for a long time between the two options of East Doruma City and Minagard City, Gordon and Pork Chop finally chose the latter.
The reason is also very simple, just like no restaurant will put the main course on the table at the beginning.
Instead of indulging in the best from the beginning, it is better to leave an expectation in your heart and wait until the future to reveal it step by step.
Soon, the day of departure came.
At the entrance of Kokot Village, almost all the people in the village gathered here.
Gordon, who was always carefree, was at a loss at this moment. He really didn't expect that so many people would come to see him off.
“Remember to come back and take a look when you have time~” the neighbor’s aunt kept wiping her tears.
The owner of the blacksmith shop, who was as strong as a bear, beat Gordon's chest and said in a bold voice, "A man should wander around. Ha, when you become a hunter, I will put up a sign at the door of the shop!"
‘The legendary hunter Gordon’s first weapon was made here by me! ',Ha ha ha ha! "
The merchant at the prop stall, the proprietress of the tavern, and the village children who want to be hunters all the time.
Everyone in the village came up to say goodbye to Gordon.
Some people also gave gifts to practice, maybe a bag of dry food, or an amulet made of a leaf from his hometown. They were not valuable things, but Gordon carefully collected them one by one.
The pork chops on the side received even more, and most of them were just for food.
Dried fish, ham, cheese, sausages, dried bread, celery, everything is available.
The little guy was also in tears. When he first arrived in Kokot Village a year ago, everything here made him panic.
Now I am about to leave, but suddenly I feel reluctant to leave.
“Okay, let’s set off quickly. It’s just a long journey. We will meet again one day.” Ernest crossed his arms and looked heroic.
But everyone can see that this man who always presents himself as a tough guy has redder eyes than anyone else.
Gordon also sniffed, and while he backed away, he waved his hands vigorously to everyone, his lips widened with a cocky smile, "Soon, when I can defeat the male fire dragon, I will come back and kill it." Come on, it won’t be long!”
ps: Kokot Village may be more "famous" in the original setting, but if the villages that appear in each game are really set as important locations (as if they are the center of the world), the plot will be very complicated. It is difficult to deal with, so there will be some degree of adaptation.
