Chapter 265 Wild Boar Island
Just when Joan was lost in thought, the crowd suddenly quieted down and looked back at the bridge of the cruise ship one after another.
Joan noticed this abnormal sign, and turned to look at it with the flow of people.
On the open-air balcony on the third floor of the bridge building, three men stood leaning on a railing. Judging from their attire and demeanor, they were all powerful figures.
Qiao An carefully looked at the three gentlemen who made more than 2,000 tourists stand in awe, and only recognized the middle-aged man standing on the far left, who was the owner of the manor where the "haunting incident" happened not long ago - the Director of Customs Andrew Snow.
Judging from the expressions of the three gentlemen when they talked, Andrew Snow's status was obviously lower than the other two.
From this point of view, the identities of the other two are self-evident.
"That tall, thin man in military uniform looks familiar?" Thomas whispered in Joan's ear, "He is Edward's father, General Charles Gates, Commander of Leiden Port Garrison."
"It turns out that he is General Gates. No wonder he looks somewhat similar to Edward."
Joan nodded suddenly, and then asked Thomas.
"That bearded gentleman standing between the Commissioner of Customs and General Gates, is that His Excellency the Governor?"
"That's right, that honorable gentleman is our Lord Governor of Alfheim, Sir John Norfolk, who is also the Chairman of the Hunting Competition Organizing Committee." Thomas nodded with a smile, "My Lord Governor next The competition rules for this year are about to be announced, and it is estimated to be similar to previous years."
Joan pricked up his ears curiously, listening intently to the governor's speech.
The Governor of Norfolk stood on the high balcony of the ship building. He did not deliberately raise his voice when he spoke, but every word was clearly conveyed to the ears of the audience on the deck.
It can be seen that His Excellency the Governor either possesses extraordinary strength, or secretly uses magic to amplify his volume.
There was nothing new in the speech of the Governor of Norfolk.
The first few sentences are nothing more than routine, I wish you all a happy and enjoyable time, and remind those who participate in the hunting to pay attention to safety.
Next, the governor's conversation turned to the key point - announcing the points rules for this hunting competition.
The first is the rules that Joan already knows.
The competition schedule starts from sunrise on July 3rd and continues until sunset on July 7th, a total of five days and five nights.
Each hunting team consists of four people, and can also carry up to four hounds.
The following statistical scoring rules are a bit complicated. According to the different types of wild boars hunted, they are divided into four grades.
Hunt a common wild boar and get 1 hunting point.
Kill a "Dire Boar" to get 5 points.
Kill a Razorboar for 10 points.
Finally... the governor of Norfolk smiled and said in a slightly exaggerated tone:
"If someone is blessed by the gods and successfully hunts down the notorious wild boar lord 'Prince Razor', he can get 200 hunting points!"
When the people on the deck heard this, a commotion erupted immediately.
The rookies who participated in the "Hunting Festival" for the first time, such as Joan, were mostly at a loss, and asked someone privately to ask what kind of monster "Razor Prince" was, and why it was worth so many hunting points, which was equivalent to 200 ordinary wild boars. sharp?
Or, like the Tyndale brothers, they had a sweet dream without understanding the details of "The Razor Prince", and said to Joan full of longing:
"If we meet that wild boar prince, we must kill him. That's 200 points!"
"With 200 points in hand, we can securely win a medal without hunting other wild boars!"
Joan smiled wryly at the unrealistic fantasies of the two brothers, and turned to Thomas, "What kind of monster is Prince Razor?"
"Actually, I've only heard some rumors, so I don't know much about it..."
Thomas stroked his chin, his face surprisingly solemn.
"The 'Prince Razor' is said to be the emperor that all the wild boars on the island respect deeply, there is no doubt about it."
"This guy is really too huge, too scary, and so strong that he is abnormal. It's hard to say whether he is a wild boar or not."
"In fact, those who participated in the hunting of 'Prince Razor' and survived generally believe that 'Prince Razor' has mutated into a new species, a unique magical beast in the world."
"Is Prince Razor really that powerful?" Roger asked dubiously.
"If it's not so powerful, why does Your Excellency Governor give it as high as 200 hunting points?"
Thomas asked angrily.
"'Prince Razor' has been active on Wild Boar Island for more than ten years. Every hunting festival, there are brats like you who don't know what to do, claiming to hunt 'Prince Razor'."
"Those hunters who uttered wild words, if they were lucky, they never met the 'Razor Prince' at all. As for the unlucky ones... either their belts and bones were swallowed by the 'Razor Prince', or since then, they never met the 'Razor Prince'." Don’t dare to brag.”
"Okay, these 200 points are too tricky, we don't want to provoke 'Razor Prince', so what kind of monster is 'Razor Boar' worth 10 hunting points? Sounds like a relative of 'Razor Prince'." Dick asked Thomas.
"'The Razor Boar' is the hybrid offspring of the mating of the 'Razor Prince' and the ferocious female boar on the island."
"The size of this kind of wild boar is about the same as that of the dire wild boar, but just like their father, it is covered with red bristles and is more difficult to deal with than ordinary dire wild boars. In fact, 10 hunting points are considered to be an underestimation of the 'razor boar'."
Joan has never seen a live "dire wild boar", but he has seen illustrations and text descriptions of this creature in the "Vares Monster Guide", and has also encountered a "dire badger", and he knows that any wild beast Once the "violent" prefix is added, it means all-round strengthening, and the desire to attack is crazy to the point of endless death.
"According to the description in the "Vares Monster Illustrated Book", the dire wild boar is four to eight times larger than ordinary wild boars, and its size and weight are comparable to adult bison."
"Once the ferocious wild boar attacks, it will not fear death. Even lions and tigers dare not easily provoke the ferocious feral boar. It has already been called the most difficult beast in nature."
"Thomas, you just said that the 'Razor Boar' is stronger than the Dire Boar, so what is it about?"
Joan inquired curiously.
The latest revised edition of "Vares Monster Illustrated Book" was published seven years ago, and at that time, the reputation of "The Razor Prince" had not yet spread outside the area of Leyton Port. Income from the editorial board of this series.
The "Razor Boar" was born even shorter, and of course it was not included in the series, so Joann lacked the minimum understanding of this creature.
Powerful and mysterious unknown creatures always arouse his curiosity more.
