Chapter 91 A Sudden Decision
"Hayata, do you want to go hunting with me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Gordon took the initiative to extend the invitation, "We can take on some one-star missions to collect herbivorous dragon meat and so on. It just so happens that I also need to store some materials such as dragon bones."
He found a passable excuse.
Gordon knew that Hayata, who was not yet an official hunter, could not take over the mission alone. Before Yamos returned, she could only stay in the city and waste time.
As a friend of the former, and having received many teachings and guidance from Yamos, Gordon was willing to waste some time for her, accompanying her on several expeditions, collecting tasks, and accumulating some practical experience.
"Thank you, Brother Gordon." Hayata smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine. During this time, I will follow the trainee hunters in the training camp at the assembly hall.
I have wasted too much of Teacher Yamos's time, and I can't always rely on others. "
Gordon wanted to say something more, but noticed the stubbornness in Hayata's eyes and could only sigh, "Actually, you don't have to think so much. If necessary, just rely on us friends."
Pork Chop also rubbed Hayata's palm with its furry head.
"Okay~." Hayata's smile became brighter, "The training camp's team training will start soon, so I'll take my leave now."
"Come on." Gordon waved.
The owner of the workshop also laughed proudly, "Ha, with the strength of little Hayata, he will definitely crush those bastards, no problem!"
Watching Hayata push the door open and leave, Gordon scratched his head and said to himself: "What a proud guy. Obviously, if you just ask me a favor, whether it's me or Oshula Miles, they will be happy to help." Yes."
“It’s also a good thing to have an independent personality.”
The workshop owner said as he put another mouthful of tobacco into his mouth, and poked Gordon teasingly with his elbow, "Also, you are very good at it, young man, 'please rely on me as much as you can', hehehehe."
Gordon glanced at the boss helplessly and ignored this guy who was getting older and more cowardly.
"Okay, kidding aside, Gordon, you are now officially three-star. Your weapons and armor are of a pretty good standard among hunters of the same level. If you want to go further in terms of equipment, you can consider getting a protective stone. "
Seeing that the teasing failed, the workshop owner continued to "show off" his experience.
"Stone guard?" Gordon suddenly became energetic.
He knew something about this kind of thing, but not in detail. The instructor had told him some about it before when he was still in Kokot Village.
The so-called protective stone is something similar to a pendant, which has magical power and can provide the wearer with certain special abilities.
For example, wind pressure is invalid, strength (attack power) is increased, physical consumption is reduced, etc.
If used in conjunction with armor with special effects, the effects will superimpose and influence each other, which can greatly enhance the hunter's ability.
"Sir, do you know how to be a stone protector?" Gordon continued to ask excitedly.
The owner of the workshop sat on the edge of the counter and said slowly: "I don't know how to do it. Making artificial protective stones belongs to the category of alchemy. You have to find the alchemist mother-in-law. She is the only one in the entire Minagarde city who can do it.
However, I don’t recommend that you go to her. The materials required for alchemy are rare and special, and the effect of the final product is almost impossible to control. The probability of making something good is like winning a lottery. You can’t afford it now. "
"This, that's it." Gordon was a little discouraged. He never had much confidence in his own luck. "Isn't there any other way to get it?"
"Yes, go to the old volcano."
"ah?"
"That's the Latio volcano in the Aird area. There are many relics of ancient civilizations hidden under the solidified volcanic rocks. If you are lucky, you can dig out the original stones for the stone protection. After professional appraisal and polishing, you can get the stone protection.
The effects of stone protection are various, and it is very difficult to apply them directly.
But don’t worry, there is a village called Naguli Village near the volcano, and hunters who go to the volcano to dig protective stones stay there all year round.
You can try to exchange or buy with others. If you are patient, you can always find the protection stone you like. Even if you don't get anything, it doesn't hurt for young people to go out and take a look. "
Gordon was startled by the workshop owner's words, especially the last half of the sentence, which made him fall into deep thought.
He had always been subconsciously avoiding this problem before, but it has been almost a year since he left Kokot Village and came to Minagard City.
For him, who was not planning to settle here, but only regarded it as the first stop on his journey, one year was already longer than expected.
The reason why he has been reluctant to leave was partly because he couldn't let go of the few friends with whom he had a good relationship, and partly because he wanted to concentrate on improving his own strength.
Now, he has changed into the giant scissor and giant bird suit, and his hunter level has been upgraded to three stars. His strength has improved by at least two levels compared to when he first left Kokot Village.
Maybe it’s time to step out of your comfort zone and continue your journey.
Thinking of this, Gordon suddenly squatted down so that his eyes were level with Pig Chop, "Pork Chop, do you think we should leave?"
"Meow?"
Porkchop didn't understand what Gordon meant at first, but when it noticed the reluctance on Gordon's face and the trace of expectation that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, it understood.
Wiping his beard, Zhupa said in a serious tone that was completely different from usual: "Although I can't bear to leave you all, I don't want this to be the end of the journey, meow.
As long as Gordon wants, I will follow him wherever he goes, meow! "
The news that Gordon is about to leave did not cause any sensation in the Minagard gathering hall.
As the most dangerous profession in the world, hunters are a group of people who only care about the day.
When the injuries and deaths of their companions have become commonplace, do you still expect them to show how much sadness and reluctance they have for a friend's journey?
It's not like he's dead! Why are you being so hypocritical?
Having said that, although everyone will not cry and say goodbye, it is still necessary to get together and have a good drink. If there is no chance to meet again, it is a good ending to have this drink as a foundation.
Late at night, a row of people fell down at the long table of the tavern in the gathering hall.
Hayata, Oshura, Ted, Maxine, even Not one was missing, including Tiggy, who had gotten off work early and came to join in the fun.
Only Gordon, who had a good alcohol tolerance and still hadn't been completely drunk, felt a figure approaching him in a daze.
Gordon raised his head in a daze, and when he saw the person coming, he was immediately covered in cold sweat, and even most of the drunkenness was scared away.
"Yes, President."
During the time when he used the Minagard Assembly Hall as his base, this president lady with a very long and difficult name, but full of majesty, left a deep impression on him.
He inexplicably felt like a child who was caught drinking secretly by his parents, and he was very flustered.
The tall president lady put her palm on Gordon's shoulder, indicating that the latter did not need to stand up.
"Keep this letter of introduction." The president took out an exquisite scroll and placed it on the table in front of Gordon.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, which softened her slightly cold face a lot, "Maybe it will make your journey a little easier."
"Thank you, thank you, President! "Gordon said with some stammering.
The president smiled, and his long and elegant tone gave people a feeling of chanting poetry: "If you have a chance, remember to come back and have a look.
Minagaard Hunter's Gathering, you are always welcome to return."
