Chapter 546 Hayata’s Flaws
Gordon thought that Hayata would not run too far, but he chased her all the way to the corner of the residential street before finally catching up with her.
She was looking behind Gordon, "Uncle, he didn't catch up, did he?"
…"I chased him out, but I didn't catch him."
“It’s okay, okay.” Hayata breathed a sigh of relief.
“Why are you going back now? Mr. Pine won’t let you out again, right?”
"I don't want to pay attention to him. I just live in the meeting hall these days."
“What about the weapons we ‘stored’ there?”
“We can go back and pick it up when the incident is over, and my uncle will help us pack it up with a lot of curses.”
Gordon suddenly felt a bit toothache. He always felt that this guy was acting more rebellious than usual. Maybe it was because he had returned home?
The two of them walked side by side towards the block where the meeting place was located.
“Hayata, have you also been recruited by the guild?” Gordon asked this belated question.
“No.”
Hayata shook his head, "The situation is not serious enough to call back all the hunters who have gone to the Western Continent. I heard from Master Samantabhadra about Lao Shanlong's approach to Minagard, so I rushed back here." of."
Gordon understood clearly after hearing this. Hayata is from Minagard, and his only relative is here, so he naturally has the idea of defending his hometown.
Along the way, the two chatted about their current situation with their companions.
From Hayata's mouth, Gordon learned that Feng Ying almost lives in an abandoned shrine now, and her practice progress is said to be good. Although her insect skills are not as "spiritual" as Lie Yan, she is still very good.
Ancil's new crossbow - "Shigure" - has been completed. This heavy crossbow is made from the fins and horns of the Arashi Dragon. It can be said to be the highest "level" weapon in their entire team. , Ancil carries it wherever he goes now. In addition, this guy helps the fat dog lose weight every day, and he still has a long way to go...
It’s a pity that the journey to the hunter meeting place is not long.
Just when Hayata said that she had completed a series of practices in using aura and learned one of Samantabhadra's box-bottom sword skills, "Shenwei Iai", through Manjusri, the building of the assembly hall was already in front of her.
When he stopped at the door of the assembly hall, Hayata looked a little regretful, "I haven't had time to hear about Senior Gordon yet."
“A lot has indeed happened in the past two months, and I even went to Bokai Village.”
“Eh?! Village chief, is she okay?”
"It's good. She even caught me and asked about you." Gordon smiled and opened the shiny salon door of the meeting place. "Go in first. I'll tell you in detail later when I have time."
"Um!"
Hayata followed Gordon's pace, and the two of them stepped into it together.
The hall of the Minagard Hunter Assembly Hall was as lively as ever.
No, it’s more lively than ever,
The long tables and benches in the tavern area were filled with people, and there was no empty seat. The rude shouts and laughter went straight to the ears.
Gordon whistled lightly and looked at Hayata, who was slightly absent-minded. "You have been in the reserved Western Continent for a long time. Do you feel a little unaccustomed to it?"
“It’s quite a bit.”
At this moment, an older hunter, who looked to be in his fifties, came over carrying two large glasses of ale.
He started with a standard manly laugh, "Ah ha ha ha ha, two strange friends, no matter where you are from, if you are willing to rush over to help at this time, we must offer you a toast first!"
Hayata took the wine glass with a smile, drank it eloquently and said: "Uncle Estine, you invited these two glasses of wine for nothing, we are not 'stranger friends'!"
“Eh? Are you...yeah? Are you little Hayata?!”
The old hunter rubbed his eyelids and widened his eyes, "And who is over here, boy Gordon?"
“Long time no see.” Gordon also smiled and took over, or rather grabbed the wine glass.
Actually, when the two first entered the assembly hall, many people paid attention to them.
Tyrannosaurus armor is not something you often see. Except for a few older, experienced, or higher-level hunters, most people don’t even know about monsters like the Tyrannosaurus. existence, my impression of this set of equipment can only remain at "it seems very powerful".
Hayata's [Hyuuga] suit is even rarer, and not many people can recognize it, but the complicated craftsmanship alone can make people realize how extraordinary this set of armor is.
Labels such as "high-level hunter" and "elite" were plastered on the two people's foreheads almost immediately.
The old hunter's view was the same, so it was impossible to connect the two people with his impression of them, especially Hayata.
Gordon came back for a while last year. Although there are several levels of difference between the Fire Dragon armor and the Tyrannosaurus armor, the impression of an "excellent hunter" is still there.
Unlike Hayata, in the eyes of an old hunter, Hayata is still a young girl who has just left the army. Why?
He even couldn't help blurting out, "Is little Hayata an adult? Can he really drink?"
“Ahem…”
Hayata choked on her drink, coughed for a while and then said out of breath: "You've grown up early! You're already twenty years old!"
“Are you already so powerful at the age of twenty?” the old hunter muttered, “The last time I saw [Hinata] was a high-ranking hunter from the Western Continent…”
“Hayata already received five stars last year, meow!” Pandan jumped out.
Bragging about Hayata and Feng Ying's hunter levels was originally Zhu Ba's favorite thing to do, but this time Pandan beat him to it, "And soon..."
“It’s bragging!” Hayata pinched Pandan’s mouth.
“Thank you for the wine, Uncle Astin, let’s go take care of things first and talk about it later!”
Putting the two empty wine glasses back into the old hunter's hands, he pulled Gordon and ran towards the counter before attracting more people's attention and discussion.
After leaving the tavern area, Hayata knelt down and pinched Pandan's cheek, "Don't do this again in the future, you hear me? Don't brag like a pig chop!"
“Good meow.” Xianglan nodded obediently, “It’s all the pig’s fault.”
"Meow meow?!"
“It reminds me.” Gordon patted Pork Chop’s little head to tell him to stop making trouble, “Hayata, are you planning to be promoted to six stars in the near future?”
"Um?"
Hayata turned her head and thought for a while, "It's not in the near future, but there is a plan within this year."
Gordon pondered for two seconds and said: "Actually, my personal suggestion is that it is better for you to practice for a while at the five-star stage, one or two years, or even two or three years.
Your level has risen too quickly. You were still a three-star at this time last year, right? "
“Hmm…” Hayata nodded slightly.
At this time last year, she had just hunted a strange dragon in Bokai Village.
"Among my peers, my hunter level has been promoted very quickly, but after I was promoted to four stars in hunting the Fire Dragon, Ancil and I spent more than a year and nearly two years settling down, traveling around, and accumulating experience. , and then was promoted to five stars.
Your promotion speed is much faster than mine. It’s okay to reach the five-star hunter stage, but once you are promoted to a higher level, you will have to face the ancient dragon under the assignment of the guild. I’m worried..."
Hayata lowered her eyelids and was silent for a while before speaking, "Senior Gordon, I understand what you mean."
She remembered clearly that when she reunited with Gordon last year, Gordon had just been promoted to five-star, but he was able to suppress the Cang Fire Dragon very stably at that time, and his strength was obviously outstanding among five-star hunters.
Later on, he was promoted to six stars because of the Qilin War. Only three months passed, but he was already able to adapt to high-level battles.
The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, Frozen Gorosaurus, Terror Tyrannosaurus, and even the most terrifying Lanosaurus can all prove this.
And after he was promoted to five stars, it was also three or four months later, and he was still in danger when he went hunting for the Sakura Fire Dragon.
This is the gap in experience accumulation.
High-level sword skills such as Air Blade Kabutu and Kamui Iai can indeed elevate one's strength to a higher level.
But the shortcomings in experience cannot be made up by sword skills. Maybe I should really settle down for a while.
Hayata raised her eyes and said, "Senior Gordon, I will think about it carefully."
