Chapter 91 A sudden decision
“Hayata, do you want to go hunting with me?”
After hesitating for a moment, Gordon took the initiative to extend the invitation, "We can take on some one-star missions to collect herbivorous dragon meat and so on. It just so happens that I also need to store some materials such as dragon bones."
He found a passable excuse.
Gordon knew that Hayata, who was not yet a formal hunter, could not take over the mission alone. Before Yamos returned, she could only stay in the city and waste time.
As a friend of the former, and having received many teachings and guidance from Yamos, Gordon was willing to waste some time for her, accompanying her on several expeditions, collecting tasks, and accumulating some practical experience.
"Thank you, Brother Gordon." Hayata smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, I will follow the trainee hunters in the training camp at the assembly center during this period.
I have wasted too much of Teacher Yamos's time, and I cannot always think of relying on others. "
Gordon wanted to say something more, but noticed the stubbornness in Hayata's eyes and could only sigh, "Actually, you don't have to think so much. If necessary, just rely on us friends."
Pork Chop also rubbed Hayata’s palm with his furry head.
"Okay~." Hayata's smile became brighter, "The training camp training will start soon, so I'll take my leave first."
“Come on.” Gordon waved.
The owner of the workshop also laughed proudly, "Ha, with the strength of little Hayata, he will definitely crush those bastards, no problem!"
Watching Hayata push the door and leave, Gordon scratched his head and said to himself: "What a proud guy. Obviously, as long as you ask for a favor, whether it is me or Oshula Miles, they will be happy to help. Yes."
“It’s also a good thing to have an independent personality.”
The workshop owner said as he put another mouthful of tobacco into his mouth, and poked Gordon teasingly with his elbow, "Also, you are very good at it, young man, 'please rely on me as much as you can', hehehehe."
Gordon glanced at the boss helplessly and ignored this guy who was getting older and more cowardly.
"Okay, kidding aside, Gordon, you are now officially three-star. Your weapons and armor are of a pretty good standard among hunters of the same level. If you want to go further in terms of equipment, you can consider getting a protective stone. "
Seeing that the ridicule failed, the workshop owner continued to "show off" his experience.
“Stone guard?” Gordon suddenly became energetic.
He knew something about this kind of thing, but not in detail. The instructor had told him some about it before when he was still in Kokot Village.
The so-called protective stone is something similar to a pendant, which has magical power and can provide the wearer with certain special abilities.
For example, wind pressure is invalid, strength (attack power) is increased, physical consumption is reduced, etc.
If used in conjunction with armor with special effects, the effects will superimpose on each other, which can greatly enhance the hunter's ability.
“Sir, can you be a stone guard?” Gordon continued to ask excitedly.
The owner of the workshop sat on the edge of the counter and said slowly: "I don't know how to do it. Making artificial protective stones belongs to the category of alchemy. You have to find the alchemist. She is the only one in the entire Minagarde city who can do it.
However, I don’t recommend that you go to her. The materials required for alchemy are rare and special, and the effect of the final product is almost impossible to control. The probability of making something good is like winning a lottery. You can’t afford it now. "
"This, that's it." Gordon was a little discouraged. He never had much confidence in his own luck. "Isn't there any other way to get started?"
“Yes, go to the old volcano.”
"ah?"
“That’s the Latio volcano in the Aird region. There are many relics of ancient civilizations hidden under the solidified volcanic rocks. If you are lucky, you can dig out the original stones for the stone protection. After being identified and polished by professionals, you can get the stone protection.
But don’t worry, there is a village called Naguli Village near the volcano, and hunters who go to the volcano to dig protective stones stay there all year round.
You can try to exchange or buy with others. If you are patient, you can always find the protection stone you like. Even if you don't get anything, it doesn't hurt for young people to go out and take a look. "
The workshop owner's words made Gordon startled, especially the last half of the sentence, which made him fall into deep thought.
It was always subconsciously escaping this problem, but it has been almost a year since he left Cokkart Village to Minnagard.
For him, who was not planning to settle here, but only regarded it as the first stop on his journey, one year was already a little longer than expected.
The reason why he has been reluctant to leave is partly because he can't let go of the few friends he has become close to, and partly because he wants to concentrate on improving his own strength.
Now, I have changed into the giant scissors and the big strange bird suit, and my hunter level has been upgraded to three stars. My strength has improved by at least two levels compared to when I first left Kokot Village.
Perhaps it’s time to get out of your comfort zone and continue your journey.
Thinking of this, Gordon suddenly squatted down so that his eyes were level with Pig Chop, "Pig Chop, do you think we should leave?"
"Meow?"
Pork Chop didn’t understand what Gordon meant at first, but when it noticed the reluctance on Gordon’s face and the trace of expectation that couldn’t be hidden in his eyes, it understood.
Wiping his beard, Zhupa said in a serious tone that was completely different from usual: "Although I can't bear to leave you all, I don't want this to be the end of the journey, meow.
As long as Gordon wants to, Meow will follow him wherever he goes! "
The news that Gordon was about to leave did not cause any sensation in the Minagard meeting hall.
As one of the most dangerous professions in the world, hunters are a group of guys who seize the day and night.
When the injuries and deaths of companions around them have become commonplace, do you still expect them to show much sadness for a friend's trip?
It’s not like he’s dead! Why are you so pretentious?
Having said that, although everyone will not bid farewell with tears, it is still necessary to get together and have a good drink. If there is no chance of seeing each other again, having this drink as a base can be considered a good ending.
Late at night, a group of people lay down at the long table in the tavern of the assembly hall.
Hayata, Ohshula, Ted, Maxine, and even Tikki who came over from get off work early to join in the fun, there are no one missing.
Gordon, who had a good drinking capacity but was still not completely drunk, felt a figure walking beside him in a hazy state.
Gordon raised his head in a daze, and when he saw clearly who was coming, he was suddenly covered in cold sweat, and most of his drunkenness was frightened away.
“Yes, Mr. President.”
During the time when he used the Minagard Assembly Hall as his base, the president, whose name was too long and hard to remember, but full of majesty, left a deep impression on him.
He felt inexplicably like a child who was caught by his parents secretly drinking, and was extremely panicked and embarrassed.
The tall lady president put her palms on Gordon's shoulders, indicating that the latter did not need to stand up.
“Put this letter of introduction away.” The president took out an exquisite scroll and placed it on the table in front of Gordon.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, which softened her slightly cold face a lot, "Maybe it will make your subsequent journey easier."
“Thank you, thank you, Mr. President!” Gordon stammered.
The president smiled, and his long and elegant tone gave people the feeling of singing poetry: "If you have the opportunity, remember to come back and take a look.
Minagarde Hunter Gathering Hall will always welcome you back. "
