Chapter 127 To hunt, form a team first
The wheel of the car rolled on the stone ground after the rain, causing bursts of noise.
Heather leaned against the back of the car with her hands behind her head, chatting with Ilsan, who was holding her knees.
Elu cat, who was driving, flicked the reins from time to time, and occasionally snuck out a small piece of dried fish from the cloth pocket beside him and threw it into his mouth.
The truck that Marutori was pulling staggered along the mountain road, driving through the rainy and sunny mountains.
After an unknown time, the speed of the car slowed down, and Heather and Ilsan stuck their heads out of the car body.
What comes into view is a village built on a mountain, first of all, the heavy wooden torii gate with a strong ancient style, and then along the stone stairs that continue to rise, you can see various buildings in the village.There are red fabrics and decorations everywhere, and the reddish maple leaves are a special view.
"Meow! Jieyun Village is here, Meow!"
Ai Lu watched the two jump from the car to the ground, and waved her small paws at them: "Goodbye~~"
"Goodbye, handsome and cute Elle!"
Ilsan energetically waved her arms towards the moving Maruti truck, then turned her head to look at Heather with her hands on her hips: "Okay! I've finally arrived at Jieyun Village, I'm going to see the village chief next, Heather, you. Want to be together?"
Heather nodded: "Let's do it together, I want to find a job here temporarily, otherwise I'll really run out of money to eat."
The two walked up the stairs, but were stopped by a young man when they passed through the gate.
"Where did you two come from?" The young man stood in the middle of the steps with his arms folded, with a scrutinizing gaze: "As long as my uncle [Ghost Guard] is here, no suspicious person is allowed to enter Jieyun Village!"
Ah, I almost forgot about him... That middle-[-] youth who volunteered to guard the door.Heather half-drooped her eyelids and motioned for Ilsan to explain.
Too lazy to listen to Ilsan trying to explain her identity as a hunter sent by the guild to the second-year youth, Heather stood on the steps and looked at the pedestrians around.
It can be seen that this is a village with inconvenient transportation, and the main means of communication is only the mountain road in front of the gate.In addition to the local residents who are dressed similarly to the youth guarding the gate, occasionally hunters wearing various suits can be seen passing by, but through [Circle], we can perceive that although the life energy of these people is much stronger than that of the humans in the previous two worlds , but far less than Irsan.
Should it be said to be the protagonist?
Ilsan tried her best to talk, but she couldn't make the young man understand what 'guild dispatched hunters' meant.According to what he said - there are hunters in our village, why do you have to send people from East Doruma?You must be fakes!
There was no way, Ilsan could only bring Heather over to explain it together, but knowing that Heather was a three-no-one person, the young man was even more convinced of his judgment.
Just as the three were entangled, a gentle female voice came from above the steps: "Rostow, let them in, it is my suggestion to ask the East Doruma Hunters Guild for help."
Several people looked up and saw a black-haired beauty in a lavender kimono standing gently at the top of the steps, with a gentle smile on her face.It is worth noting that her ears, which are pointed and long at the top, are clearly a dragon female.
"But the village chief, these two guys are really suspicious, especially this guy with glasses, he actually..."
"I said, let them come in, is it alright?" The dragon woman's smile did not change, but the three of them shivered, as if there was a chill in her words.
Not to mention the dejected middle-[-]nd youth stepped aside to make way, Ilsan and Heather came to the dragon woman at the top of the steps, and said hello: "Hello, village chief, I'm a hunter of East Doruma. The hunter specially sent by the guild headquarters is named Ilsan, and he is the traveler Heather I met on the way."
"I'm the village head of this Jieyun Village, and I'm very happy to meet the two of you." The dragon-human woman covered her mouth and chuckled and bowed slightly to the two of them. Heather and Ilsan also hurriedly returned the salute.
After a brief conversation, the village chief also knew the situation when the two came.
"What you have encountered is likely the source of the current crisis in Jieyun Village."
The three of them came to the small square in the center of the village. The village head sat on a bench covered with red cloth, with a sad face on his face: "[Carnivorous], [can release strong electric current], [accompanied by a wonderful ball of light], this It is the information that eyewitnesses can describe. Just because more and more eyewitnesses who entered the stream saw this dangerous monster, and the four-person hunting team that went to hunt it down did not return for many days. As a last resort, I had to ask East Doruma asks for help."
According to the village chief, there were no powerful monsters near this Jieyun Village, and with the comfortable climate, the hunting skills of the hunters in the village were generally not particularly high.This time, a powerful monster that had never been seen before suddenly appeared, and all of a sudden, Jieyun Village fell into panic.
The most powerful hunting team in the village seemed to be completely annihilated. The villagers who relied on cutting down and selling [Junyun Wood] in the stream area did not dare to enter the relevant area again and could only wait for outside assistance.
"I see... I understand!" Ilsan tapped her left hand on the palm of her right hand, with a bright expression: "I will hunt that dangerous lightning monster as soon as possible, please rest assured."
The village chief caressed his chest and resumed his gentle smile: "That's great, you are really a reliable hunter. The residence has been prepared for you, just opposite the big house, this is your own residence completely. , the relevant household items have been prepared, if there are any household items that need to be supplemented, please let me know, and all the members of Jieyun Village will do their best to meet your requirements."
Having said that, the village chief stood up and saluted Ilshan solemnly, and Ilshan hurriedly bent down and bowed in return.
Then the village chief looked at Heather again: "Mr. Heather, do you say you are a traveler who has traveled through this place?"
"I originally wanted to investigate the quality of [Jieyun Wood], but I didn't expect to get lost."
Heather shrugged: "To be honest, I'm penniless now, so I want to find a job in Jieyun Village, at least to make up for the travel expenses."
"Village Chief, Heather is very good! When I met that thunderbolt monster before, Heather took me to escape from its feet." Ilsan added in a timely manner.
The village chief's eyes lit up slightly: "Are you also a hunter?"
"Uh, not really, at least I haven't registered with the Hunter's Guild." Heather scratched her head: "Moreover, I want to join the [Royal Paleontology Scholars Team] more than being a hunter. That's where my ambition lies."
Ilsan and the village chief were instantly in awe.
[Royal Paleontological Scholars Team] is a public organization that observes, investigates, and studies monster ecology, referred to as [Scholar Team], and is known as [Kingdom Mind].
Whether it is a docile and lovely herbivorous monster, or a mysterious and unpredictable ancient dragon species, as long as it is a monster, it is their research object.The reason why the Hunter Guild and other organizations have received so much information on monsters is the result of the Scholar Team, and its contribution is indelible.
Jieyun Village suffered from the loss of not having members of the Scholar Team stationed locally, which led to the unusually slow progress in collecting information on thunder and lightning monsters.
"It turned out to be a sergeant candidate." The village chief showed an apologetic expression: "There are indeed some jobs that are suitable for a strong person with rich knowledge and strong ability to act, but the incident happened suddenly, and Jieyun Village recently took over again. Several tourist groups came to experience the hot spring culture, but there are really no spare hotel beds, and I'm really sorry."
"Uh, I can't blame you, it's my appearance that was too abrupt." Heather waved his hands again and again.That being said, do you really want to sleep on a bench?
At this time, it is necessary for the protagonist to strike decisively!
"It's okay, I'll find a way!"
Ilsan's energetic voice sounded, and she said with her hands on her hips, "Wouldn't it be better to let Heather live in my big house?"
"Huh?" Not to mention Heather, even the village chief looked surprised: "Mr. Heather, he is a male, this..."
"We have faced that terrifying thunder and lightning monster together, and we are teammates worthy of entrusting our backs!"
Irshan patted Heather on the back, and the latter almost fell to the ground: "And I heard that in the 'recommendation group' going to the New World, the hunter will form a two-person team with the editor or the book sergeant, and most of them are A combination of a man and a woman. In this case, I can team up with Heather, right AIBO?" (Note 1)
Who is your AIBO... Heather rubbed her back, is it an illusion?I always feel that this girl has more strength.
"The room can indeed accommodate more than two people... Since Lord Ilsan and Lord Heather don't mind, then I will notify the store to send one more living material."
The village chief bowed slightly: "It's getting late. I'd like to ask the two of you to rest for a while. Dinner will be delivered to your room. I'll take the two of you to visit Jieyun Village tomorrow morning. Then, I'll take my leave."
Seeing the figure of the village chief walking away, Irshan poked Heather's arm: "So Heather likes this type?"
"Where do you see that I like the village chief?" Heather sighed, and stretched out her right hand to Irsan: "Anyway, thank you for helping me solve the big problem of accommodation."
"It's easy to talk~" Irshan took Heather's hand and shook it vigorously: "If you need your help in collecting monster data, I hope you can help me."
"Don't worry, when it comes to 'collecting' monster data, few people are my opponents."
Heather smiled confidently.
--------------
Note 1: [Recommended group] comes from "Monster Hunter World" (MHW). As the name suggests, they do not need to be selected. They are elite investigators appointed by the guild to directly join the New World Pioneering Team.It is recommended that the group work in groups of two, one hunter and one editor, so as to record first-hand information on monsters while hunting. [AIBO] is the pet name of the fellow editors for the MHW protagonist controlled by the player. Players also like to call this female editor companion AIBO.
PS: I strongly recommend UP Eschenbach at station B here. The collection of monster hunting materials is really comprehensive, and I also refer to a lot of materials from his videos.
