Chapter 93 Trainee Scrivener Alva
After the airship took off, Gordon learned that the airship named Yunfei had only three crew members, except for himself and Pork Chop, who were newly added to the airship.
The "Professor" in charge of this observation project, a mysterious old man from the dragon tribe, seems to have positions in the three major organizations: the Hunters Guild, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the Wang Li Ancient Biology Scribes Team. He puts the exploration of the unknown above everything else. Hardcore scholar.
Lao Hei, an airship operator and mechanic, is a member of the logistics department of the Wang Li Paleontological Scriveners Team. He is an enthusiastic and forthright man, and Gordon has a good rapport with him.
Finally, there is a thin young man named Alva, with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and a relatively introverted personality. He seems to be a student of the professor and is responsible for assisting the professor in observing and recording work.
When the airship passed through the low-altitude clouds, rose to an altitude of more than two thousand meters, and began to fly smoothly, the three of them began their work.
Lao Hei was at the helm and recorded the route in real time. The professor scurried between several instruments like a mouse, while Alva, the trainee scrivener, followed hard behind him, hurriedly recording every set of data he reported.
Among the many instruments, the only thing Gordon could recognize was the telescope. After looking at it like a monkey looking at the moon for a while, Gordon felt bored and had to go back to the cabin.
The cabin was filled with all kinds of supplies, instruments, and information. It couldn't even accommodate beds. Instead, there were a few simple hammocks.
Pork Chops was lying on one of the hammocks, humming.
It's seasick
It seems that it would be better to travel by land as much as possible in the future.
After taking care of the little guy for a while, after it fell asleep, Gordon entered the idle mode and was in a daze for a few minutes. Unable to sit still, he returned to the deck.
The professor seemed to have just completed a round of data recording and got back into the cabin to do his own research. Alva, who was also free for the time being, was about to take out a book to kill time when he was caught by Gordon.
Facing Gordon, who was twenty centimeters taller than him and nearly twice his weight, Alva shrank his neck subconsciously.
On the other hand, Lao Hei, who was steering the helm and still had time to look around, said, "Hahaha, you two are about the same age, can we talk more.
Alva, a nerd who locks himself in a room and studies hard cannot become a formal member of the Scribes Team. Communicating with all kinds of people and acquiring knowledge and information is also one of the important jobs of Scribes! "
Out of politeness, Alva bowed shyly to Gordon and introduced himself as loudly as a mosquito, "Hello, Mr. Hunter, I am Alva, a trainee scrivener of the Scriveners Team. Please give me your advice."
Gordon, who was originally just planning to come over and get acquainted, would retreat if the other party didn't want to talk more. He also smiled when he heard this. He waved his hand and said: "Stop using honorifics, just call me Gordon. Don't look at me because I'm big. Actually, I’m only nineteen years old.”
“Eh? I am also nineteen years old.”
After discovering that the other person was the same age as himself, Alva seemed to become more relaxed. He pushed up the glasses that slid on the bridge of his nose. Just as he was about to say something else, he was attracted by the orange-red carapace and scales on Gordon's armor. Notice.
"This, this, this! Is this the carapace of a big strange bird?! Can I touch it?" The young trainee scrivener suddenly approached Gordon, showing excitement and enthusiasm that was completely different from his previous character.
"Yes, yes." Gordon leaned back subconsciously, but did not reject Alva's request.
"Obviously, it is a creature from the family Aurornitridae, but it has evolved a carapace similar to that of the family Wyvernidae. Although the shape is slightly different, it is already another manifestation that is completely different from scales! Ah! And this wing membrane! "
Alva stretched out his fingers and tugged on a wing membrane at the joint of Gordon's abdominal armor. "A variety of thin and tough skin membranes are not covered by scales, so they are not as strong as flying dragons, but they are flexible similar to chiroptera."
This guy is really interested in these things?
In order to prevent the other party from continuing to be "stunned", Gordon took the initiative and said: "Alva, have you never seen these carapace wing membranes and the like before?"
Alva was awakened from his own world and realized that he was almost touching Gordon. He quickly took a few steps back and said with some fear: "Sorry, sorry, I was rude!"
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”
Alva pushed up his glasses and continued: "There are these in the herbarium at the Minagard Scribes Station, but they are all samples preserved in glass cabinets, and trainee members like us are not qualified to get started.
And those specimens are many years old and are not as fresh as the ones you have, Gordon. "
It’s ok if it’s fresh.
Gordon jokingly said: "When you become an official member of the Scrivener Team, you will have the right to issue tasks to hire hunters to protect you into the hunting grounds and observe the monster ecology at close range. By then, what you will see will be the freshest." 'of."
"Is this possible?!" Alva's blue eyes seemed to be shining, "Do people like me also have the opportunity to go into the wild and see those magical creatures with my own eyes?!"
Looking at Alva's thin shoulders and chest, and then at his slender arms and legs, Gordon touched his chin and said, "Are you running fast?"
"ah?"
"Just run. For example, when a monster attacks and the hunter fights with the monster, you can't just stand there and watch, right? At this time, you need to run quickly, and of course you can't run too far. Don't be caught by other monsters. The monster grabbed it."
"Yuan, is that so? I'm not good at sports, but I can practice?" Alva's tone was full of lack of confidence in himself.
“I understand that the scrivener team members always have to run around in the wild, sampling, observing, painting, etc. It’s not possible if their physical strength is too low.
In addition to reading, you can also do more exercise, such as squats, frog jumps, long-distance running, etc. Although you may not be able to run away from monsters if you run fast, it is better than staying in place and waiting to die. "
“Young boy Gordon is right.” There was also a voice of agreement from Lao Hei.
“Scribes cannot rely solely on the protection of hunters when walking in the wild. Many experienced scriveners will choose to investigate alone.
They don’t have the power to fight monsters head-on like hunters, but they can use their knowledge, the natural environment, and guess the monster’s action patterns. Coupled with a pair of hardened feet, they can often avert danger.
Just like the person you admire most, the research class leader of the third New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team. Even the professor said that he is a "man like the wind". Do you think he is referring to his personality?
No, it’s running speed. "
Alva: "."
Gordon and Lao Hei's words seemed to open a new door for him.
In the past, he always felt that the most important thing for a scrivener is knowledge and the brain, and the most direct way to absorb knowledge and enrich the brain is to read books.
He is confident that no one among his peers has read more books than him, but this is not enough. If he wants to break through the shackles of written books, see with his own eyes, and get up close to those fascinating creatures, he must go to the wild.
Use your own feet to walk into the wild!
