Chapter 1597 [Claws of the Wasteland 1] Neutralize

(This is a small chapter with Huali as the protagonist. The timeline is basically synchronized with [Hour Day Talk], that is, 10 years after the main story. I originally wanted to write it directly in Hou Day Talk, but because it is a more complete chapter A short story, think about it and make a separate title)

The young swordsman wearing a dust-proof cloak walked into the open-air tavern by the lake.

The hunters in the tavern glanced at him.

Not contaminated by sand and dust, with a fair complexion, a dust-proof cloak that never leaves his body, and a temperament that is completely different from the people of the desert.

There are various signs that this is a "foreigner" who came from outside the desert area.

Some people directly withdrew their gaze. Over the years, Lockark has developed rapidly. The strange faces in the hunter gathering hall are not uncommon, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

There were also some sharp-eyed guys who noticed the thunder wolf dragon suit hidden under the cloak. Knowing that this was a powerful guy, they raised their glasses and said hello to her.

The dual-sword user was not indifferent, but he was not the kind of guy with a warm personality either. After a slight nod in response, he walked towards the counter.

"Hello?"

Facing the imposing dual-sword wielder striding forward, behind the counter, the little poster girl, who was obviously still an intern, was a little nervous and stammered.

Fortunately, at this time, a lady wearing a red soft hat came over and said, "Let me receive this lady."

Kicking away the mustachioed president who wanted to come over, the lady wearing a red bonnet showed a generous and hearty smile to the dual-sword wielder, "Hello, I am Aisha from the Loklak Guild. How can I help you? ”

"Huali." The dual-sword user simply announced his name and handed over his hunter's notes and mission documents.

Ai Xia took it with both hands, flipped through it quickly, and looked at the visitor again in surprise.

Even now that the guild has expanded on a large scale and is known as the "Golden Age", five-star hunters of this age are still quite rare.

The dual swordsman named Huali took the initiative to speak and explained his purpose, "I am relatively new to the desert area, and the goal of this mission is a bit tricky. I hope to find one or two local hunters to accompany me."

Ai Xia nodded clearly, "I understand. I will help you with the procedures now. The receipt for recruiting companions will be posted on the bulletin board soon. If someone picks it up, you will be notified immediately."

"Thank you, um, also, I hope to rent a hunting cabin, the most ordinary one."

As soon as Huali finished speaking, a thick arm stretched out from the side and put it on her shoulder.

Huali, who didn't like this kind of physical contact, turned cold and was about to make a move to twist and hold the arm, but the man grabbed her shoulder first.

"I'm telling you, chief, this suddenly came to my territory, why didn't you inform us in advance?"

The familiar voice made Huali stunned for a moment, but she still subconsciously turned her shoulders, slid away the other person's arm, and looked sideways at the person.

She was a strong female swordsman.

She is over 190 centimeters tall, and her muscles are even stronger than many male hunters. Her hands are as big as dinner plates, making people doubt that she can kill a big wild boar with one punch.

All in all, it is very consistent with the stereotype of ordinary people's concept of "hunter".

"Haifa." Huali said the other person's name in a smooth tone, as a greeting, "Also, don't call me chief, we have graduated several years ago."

Facing Huali's cold attitude, Haifa didn't care either.

During those years in the training camp, she had long been accustomed to the other party's seemingly cold temperament.

He dragged the other party to find an empty seat, pressed Huali's shoulders and asked her to sit down, "I haven't heard anything from you in the past few years. Have you returned to your hometown?"

"Um."

Although it may not be obvious on the surface, in fact, Huali is in a good mood after being reunited with familiar people after a long absence. “I have been a resident hunter in a remote village for several years.

I hunted all the dangerous monsters near the village, and the guild sent young hunters who had just graduated to take over, so I went out to look around. "

"It's okay if the hunting is clean." Haifa grinned as if he had a toothache, "What's the mission of coming to Lockak this time?"

"Well, I'm hunting a tail axosaurus. That kind of monster is too big and extremely difficult to kill. I plan to find one or two companions with me." Huali answered truthfully.

"Tail Ax Dragon. Indeed, where the skin is thicker, your swords can't even penetrate the sebum."

As he spoke, Haifa bared his fangs like a roaring dragon, stretched out his thumb, and pointed at the red and blue heavy armor on his body.

"Hey! By the way, how did you know that we just hunted the dragon, promoted to five stars, and made the dragon-slaying suit? Since you invited me so sincerely, I will go with you!"

"I didn't invite you, please go and reveal the mission documents yourself."

"You are still so arrogant. By the way, I just heard that you want to rent a hunter's cabin? You have already arrived at my door, and you want to rent a * room? Stay at my house!

Come on, let me put your luggage at home first, and then I will take you for a walk around the city. This food festival is about to begin, and the city is very lively! "

After finishing his words, without waiting for Huali's response, Haifa stood up directly, picked up the former's luggage and walked out.

Seeing this, Huali had no choice but to follow.

As expected, I still can't handle this guy.

Under the leadership of Haifa, the two of them followed the path, twisting and turning, and soon came to a straight street.

Compared with other neighborhoods in Loklak, which are bustling with stalls and stalls everywhere, it seems a bit too quiet here.

Haifa introduced as he walked, "Over there is the Scribes team's station in Lockak. The building on the left is the largest library in the desert. The Gulong Observation Bureau also has a research institute here.

After all, well, you also know that there is a feast in the desert every year, right? Scholars love it here.

So, there are a lot of 'guys with glasses' living on this street, so in order to avoid disturbing the research, they are generally not allowed to set up stalls. "

"Do you live here?" Hua Li asked incomprehensibly.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I thought your home would be in a slaughterhouse or something."

"We do think so." Haifa curled his lips, "In this damn place, if you speak louder, your dad will scold you. If it weren't for the convenience of the old man's research work, he would have moved to another place long ago."

Huali looked at Haifa with heartfelt shock.

"Your father is a scholar in the Scriveners Corps?!"

"Yeah, isn't that what you look like?" Haifa looked back, "Is it weird that my dad is a scholar?"

"I remember you had a basic foundation when you entered the training camp. I thought your parents were both hunters."

"Mom is indeed a hunter. Here we are!" Haifa stopped in front of a sandstone house, raised his big foot and kicked open the door.

"I'm back!"

It can be seen from the footprints on the door that she kicked the door like this not once or twice.

Hua Li, who was following behind, lowered her head. Even though this was Haifa's home, she felt inexplicably ashamed of Haifa's rude behavior and didn't dare to face her parents directly.

Haifa dragged Huali to the living room, "I'm at home, I'm bringing my friends back!"

Huali quickly raised her head, ready to say hello to Haifa's parents.

She was mentally prepared to look up and see a thin, elegant, old scholar wearing glasses and a scholar's robe, sitting behind a large desk filled with books and looking at them with a smile.

However, the style of the scene in front of her was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

"Bang!"

I don’t know how much it weighed, but the huge barbell that I definitely couldn’t pull up with my own strength was thrown to the ground with a loud noise.

A wild lady who was more than a hair thicker than her friend Haifa, and whose dark skin was covered with indigo war tattoos, walked forward, shaking her sweaty thick arms.

It can be seen from the gray hair and wrinkles on his face that the other party is no longer young.

But Huali believed that it wouldn't be too stressful for this lady to wrestle with the Green Bear with bare hands.

Putting titles such as "Mrs. XX", "Mrs. XX" and "Mother-in-law XX" with a hint of weakness on her head is too inconsistent.

"Hey, Thunder Wolf Dragon? The little girl is pretty good." The lady bared her white fangs exactly like Haifa's and commented with a smile.

"Let's go buy some food and come back. You two little guys can play by yourselves. Treat it as your own home and feel free to do whatever you want."

After saying that, the lady who looked like an iron tower left with a bang.

"."

Huali withdrew her gaze and stared at Haifa, who was tall and strong but still within the category of "normal person" for a few seconds. "I now believe that your father is a scholar."

"What do you mean?"

"It should have been neutralized."

"?"

"Nothing, your mother must be a very strong hunter, right? Wait. Lockak, the strong female who uses heavy weapons, is that Ms. Maridan?!"

Haifa shrugged, "She will be happier if you call her Black Boom Dragon."

"You are actually her daughter, so why didn't you choose to use a sledgehammer?"

"Because my idol is the 'brave' man!"

Hai Faxu held the hilt of the big sword behind him, "The big sword is the strongest!"
