"Aha! You can see it!" The bearded old man laughed, "It's built just like us. It's very handsome!"
Gordon didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to put on a not-so-sincere smile and said, "Very handsome, very handsome."
"Ha! So young man, what do you want to do in Naguli Village? You are a hunter. Do you want to mine? Dig protective stones? Or customize equipment or something? Naguli's craftsmanship is the best in the world. Na!"
It seems to be an old man's habit to laugh before speaking.
He looked at the old man's strong arms covered with burn marks, his dirty blacksmith uniform, and the huge forging hammer that looked like it could crush a flying dragon's skull with one blow.
Looking at the statue-like door of the workshop again, Gordon felt that he had guessed the identity of the other party.
I heard from the owner of Minagarde Workshop that the village chief of Naguli Village is a blacksmith whose skills are second to none in the entire continent, and even he is "slightly inferior".
Based on Gordon's understanding of the good-looking old man, this is definitely the highest level of evaluation.
"Excuse me, are you the village chief of Naguli Village?" Gordon bowed politely, "Hello, my name is Gordon, from Kokot Village.
It was the workshop owner of Minagard who introduced me here. I plan to stay here for a while and mine some protective stones and ores. Of course, if you need to hunt monsters, you can always come to me! "
"Oh?! Did Minagarde's brother introduce him?" The old man put his hands on his hips and laughed.
Gordon was startled by calling the workshop owner "brother". The old man was from the dragon race. Although he looked like a human being in his fifties or sixties, his actual age might have been over a hundred.
Is the old man in front of him older than him? Is this also a dragon tribe?
Gordon's eyes swept over the old man's ears, hands and legs without trace, but the result was that he felt confused.
The old man's ears and calves were the same as those of ordinary people, and he was obviously not a dragon. However, the huge palm, which was much thicker than ordinary people, only had four fingers, which seemed to be a characteristic of the dragon.
Keenly noticing Gordon's gaze, the old man didn't pay attention and explained with a smile: "Hey, we are the 'Tulong tribe', the aborigines of the volcanic zone. Most of the residents of Nagulli Village are of the Tulong tribe."
Gordon scratched his head in embarrassment, "Sorry, this is my first time seeing the Earth Dragon Clan."
The so-called Tulong people, like the Dragon people, are a minority group in the broad sense of the human race. Their number is extremely rare. The people of the Tulong people are generally short in stature but very strong. Everyone is an excellent blacksmith and shipwright.
"It's normal. Our Tulong tribe cannot live without magma, so it's hard to see our tribe in other parts of the mainland." The Tulong village chief, who looked rough but kind, patiently explained to Gordon.
"That's it." Gordon nodded suddenly.
Immediately, he remembered the business again, "Mr. Village Chief, where is the hunter gathering in your village? I need to register the stronghold first."
"It's the meeting place, haha, then we are too familiar with it. The wine there is delicious. The cold ale and spicy grilled lizard are a perfect combination of works of art!
Hey, I can't help it anymore! We'll take you there now! "The Tulong Village Chief said as if his mouth was about to drool.
You obviously want to go to a bar.
Gordon was still complaining in his heart, but the Tulong village chief had already shouted to the workshop: "Daughter!! There is a new little hunter brother! I will take him to the meeting place and tavern to register!"
In less than a second, the same loud female voice came from the workshop, "Haha??! You old man just wants to be lazy in broad daylight? You are not allowed to go!"
A petite girl, also wearing a bright yellow blacksmith uniform, rushed out of the workshop angrily.
She is less than 160 centimeters tall, and her long, light blond hair is tied up with a scarf. The small freckles around the bridge of her nose not only do not ruin her appearance, but add a bit of lively and enthusiastic temperament.
Facing the angry girl, the Tulong village chief shrank his neck and said a little aggrievedly: "But we really want to drink it!"
"The old man's coquettish behavior is disgusting!" The girl waved the forging hammer in her hand, which was bigger than her head, and roared: "I'm going to have a drink at night! I haven't finished the order for the Balu Barre Ship Group yet. Get to work!"
"Then, what should we do, little brother Gordon?" The Tulong village chief looked at Gordon expectantly, hoping that the latter would say a few good words to him.
"I'll take him to register! If this old guy goes, why don't you let me drink until dawn?" The girl interrupted the Tulong village chief's extravagant hopes with stern words.
"Okay, let's go to work," the Tulong village chief said dejectedly: "Brother Gordon, you must try it, iced ale with spicy roasted lizard!"
Gordon nodded blankly and watched the village chief leave.
"It made you laugh."
The girl put the long-handled forging hammer on her shoulder and stretched out a hand to Gordon. Her tone lost the previous irritability and seemed lively and enthusiastic. "Understood, everyone calls me Lily. I will take you to the assembly hall." Bar."
Gordon stretched out his hand and shook her hand, "Just call me Gordon. I'm really sorry for troubling you."
The moment the two held hands together, Gordon raised his eyebrows slightly.
The girl's hands were very powerful, which was not surprising to Gordon. People with insufficient wrist strength would not be able to swing the hammer. What really surprised him was the size of the girl's hand, which was completely within the standard of ordinary humans. There seemed to be five fingers?
Is she human? Is the daughter of the Tulong village chief human?
Gordon was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions.
No wonder, at the age of the Tulong tribe village chief, he is more than enough to be a young girl’s grandfather. The two of them should not be biological father and daughter, right? Adopted daughter? Then it's not appropriate to talk too much.
The entire Naguli Village was not that big. A few minutes later, Lily took Gordon to the Hunter Meeting House, which was also the only tavern in the village.
The size of the Nagulli Village Assembly Hall is naturally incomparable with that of a large city like Minagard, but it is still very lively.
A dozen hunters gathered in the tavern, drinking and chatting. From time to time, the waiters served large glasses of cold ale and sizzling barbecue.
It seems that no matter where the meeting hall or tavern is, the tone is the same.
Gordon smiled to himself.
"Ah! Isn't this the water beast girl!"
"The water beast girl is here too! Haha!"
"Morning, water beast girl, no, the sun is going down!"
"In Naguli Village, is there any difference between day and night?"
Most of the hunters seemed to be very familiar with Lily and greeted her one after another. The strange thing was that no one called her "Lily", but they all called her "Water Beast Girl".
"Get lost!"
Lily puffed up her cheeks and waved the forging hammer in her hand. Her aggressive look reminded Gordon of the light crossbow user Oshura.
"Whoever calls us a water beast again will soak your custom-made equipment in sulfuric acid!" The girl glared and cursed loudly.
The hunters all knew she was joking, but they no longer shamelessly teased the "water beast". The group of people laughed and laughed, very happy.
"Bah!" Looking at the ice ale in everyone's hands, Lily couldn't help but take a sip of saliva.
She smiled at Gordon and said, "The counter is over there. You go and register. Let's have a couple of drinks first!"
Gordon couldn't help laughing when he heard this, so what if they weren't related by blood? From his oral habits to his personality to his love of drinking and fishing, he has never seen a father and daughter who are more alike than these two.
"Okay! Once I register, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Ps. In the official information, neither the Tulong village chief nor the village chief’s daughter in MH4G has a name. Let’s give the village chief’s daughter a name that is most common and does not violate the rules.
And, I always like water beast girls!
