Chapter 508: Bernardo Village on the Plateau
"Meow! Beautiful meow!" Pork chop, who jumped off the airship, exclaimed.
This is a flat valley surrounded by mountains.
Located on the plateau, the mountain breeze mixed with the faint scent of grass and soil is so fresh that it seems to be able to cleanse the soul.
Under the blue sky, a few white clouds floated low, as if you could just reach out and catch them in your palm.
Gordon took a deep breath of the fresh air, held it for a long time before slowly exhaling, and immediately felt that his body was two points more relaxed. "Master, what you said is not an exaggeration at all. It's a good place."
"Right!" Yuna came over, looking proud, "It's not like we haven't been to the world outside the mountains. Compared to this, this place is the most beautiful!"
"You've only been to a few places? You're so arrogant." Lan sneered, "The world outside is vast!"
"I haven't been there, have you?!"
Lan brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulder armor, "How do you know I haven't been there? At least I've been to the Flassia Snow Mountain, the Great Desert, and the Shuretson Hill!"
Yuna pouted in anger.
It was a while ago that she was promoted to two stars. As a one-star hunter, she was not qualified to take on the missions to the hunting grounds in these areas.
She looked around. Her brother Iliad would not intervene in such meaningless arguments. Most of the time, he was a mute.
But Gordon's presence made Yuna's eyes light up, "Senior Gordon! Senior Gordon! You are a top hunter, you must have been to many places, right?"
Faced with this nonsense question, Gordon scratched his chin, "Indeed, I have been to many places, and I have basically been to the main hunting grounds in the Old Continent and the Western Continent."
"Compared with those places, our Berna Village is also very good, right!" Yuna asked repeatedly.
"Well, indeed, although there are different scenery in different places, the scenery of the plateau here is indeed eye-catching."
"Look!" Yuna felt that she had won and raised her chin to Lan.
But Lan didn't bother to pay attention to her at all. He was very adventurous and had always dreamed of traveling around the world. His attention was completely on Gordon's words "There are different scenery in different places."
"Senior Gordon! Are there any places that impressed you the most?"
Gordon thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "There are many, such as the endless bustling streets of East Doruma, the wind village of Sinard Village on the Sky Mountain, the sand city of Rocklak on the huge rocks of the sand sea, and the Flame Village in the Western Continent where cherry blossoms dance all year round. There are so many that I can't even mention them all."
Lan, who was full of longing, seemed to have fallen into fantasy. Even Yuna and the taciturn Iliad had a different look on their faces.
"Eh~ Not to mention the young people in the village, even an old uncle like me feels that my soul is about to fly away after hearing this!"
A sturdy uncle with a thick beard came over with a hiking stick.
"Oh, it's the village chief uncle!"
"Hello, village chief!"
"Village chief."
Yuna and the others greeted the visitor one after another, and Gordon also knew his identity.
After the old man of the Dragon Clan, more old men of the Dragon Clan, old women of the Dragon Clan, big sisters of the Dragon Clan, and young men of the Dragon Clan, is the village chief this time a human uncle?
"Hello, Mr. Village Chief." Gordon nodded to him, "I am a hunter introduced by the guild to support the Dragon Calendar Institute. I will probably stay in your village for a while. This is my letter of introduction."
The bearded village chief took the letter, quickly browsed it, and carefully confirmed the seal. The vigilance in his eyes disappeared.
It's no wonder that he is like this. It's mainly because Gordon's outfit looks like a "violent criminal".
"Mr. Hunter, thank you for coming all the way here."
The village chief stretched out his broad palm and shook hands with Gordon. "I am the village chief of Berna Village. Haha, you can call me Uncle Village Chief like the young people in the village!
As for the research facilities of the Dragon Calendar Institute, you can see them by going up the hillside."
The village chief pointed to the distance, and you can see a limestone "object" like a huge mountain.
"It's at the foot of that huge mountain."
Gordon nodded.
It is said that a team of scholars from the Book of Scriptures came here and settled here for a long time to investigate the super-giant limestone.
That was the predecessor of the Dragon Calendar Institute.
With the establishment of the Dragon Calendar Institute, the scattered herdsmen on the plateau and some small villages around gradually gathered here, eventually forming the current Berna Village.
From the beginning to the present, the two have always been in this kind of interdependent and mutually helpful relationship, and can even be said to be integrated.
"Yuna, you can help this hunter to clean up an empty house, that is, the one on the east slope."
"Leave it to us!"
The village chief turned his eyes back to Gordon, "That was the residence of another hunter, with furniture such as weapon racks and storage boxes, which is very convenient.
You can go to the chief researcher of the Dragon Calendar Institute to register your information first, and you should be able to move in directly when you come back."
"I understand, thank you very much."
Even if the village chief didn't say it, Gordon would go to find the chief researcher.
The master had told him to hand over the blueprint to the chief researcher and then ask him to pass it on to the chief engineer. Although he didn't know why he had to do this, he must have his reasons.
After thanking him, Gordon said goodbye to the village chief and the trio for the time being, and walked up the hillside with the pork chop.
After more than a quarter of an hour, he arrived in front of the research facility mentioned by the village chief.
Unlike the tall buildings in East Doruma, the research facilities here are semi-open-air, and the housing part is also composed of multiple small buildings in parallel.
Pork Chop jumped onto Gordon's shoulder and looked over, "Gordon, look over there! It feels like a large open-air dock. It should be the place where large airships are built?"
Gordon looked over there, "It should be, but the construction progress is slower than I thought. I thought it was already 70% to 80% completed, but it looks like it has just started to be built?"
"I guess the materials are really in short supply."
"Excuse me, who are you?" A man in a light blue scholar's robe walked towards them.
He seemed to be in his thirties or forties, wearing glasses, with platinum-colored hair and pointed ears.
Dragon people? It's hard to judge the age.
"Hello, I'm a hunter who came to support the guild. Can I ask where I can find the chief researcher?"
"High-ranking hunter Gordon, right? You've had a hard time."
The dragon researcher smiled happily, "We received the letter from the guild headquarters a week ago. We've been waiting for you for a long time. Welcome!
Well, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm the chief researcher of the Dragon Calendar Institute. The registration will be completed soon."
Pork Chop glanced at Gordon.
If they hadn't been lucky enough to meet the three-member cross team and get on the airship, they would have to climb over mountains and hills for at least half a month before they could reach Berna Village.
Although the other party looked unexpectedly young, Gordon didn't doubt his identity - there was no point in telling a lie that would be exposed immediately.
"Registration is not urgent."
Gordon took the heavy metal document tube from behind him, "This is a blueprint from my master, Master Campbell.
He asked me to give this blueprint to you, and then ask you to pass it to the 'chief engineer'."
"Master Campbell, that master craftsman?"
The chief researcher was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Give it to the chief engineer? I understand, the old man has a bad temper, I will go there later."
