Anhill and Gordon, who had confirmed that they had formed a permanent team, planned to go to the assembly hall tavern to have a good meal and drink to celebrate.
Before leaving, Pig Cho suddenly suggested that he could stay and look after the house.
Seeing that the pork chop was sizzling, Gordon immediately realized what this guy was worried about. Without giving it a chance to say anything, he picked up the skin by the back of its neck and walked out the door.
It was still dark, and there were not many people in the tavern. Gordon and the others quickly found a small round table in a quiet place and sat down.
The person who ordered the food was Anhil. He took the menu from the waiter and handed it back without even looking at it. He waved his finger and said: "The best dish we can order at the hunter level. Please have one of each, thank you."
Gordon & Pork Chops: "."
"I'm here to treat you to this meal. Thank you for coming all the way to support me." Anhil raised the large glass of ale that the waiter had just brought and drank it down in one gulp.
Gordon blinked, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Then let's kill the big ones today."
After finishing the first glass of wine neatly, Gordon and Ancil both looked at Pork Chop, who was huddled in a chair with a somewhat depressed expression, which actually startled the latter.
"Meow meow?"
Looking at Pork Chop with evasive eyes, as if he was back to the timid and inferior look he had when they first met two or three years ago, Gordon became furious and stretched out his hands to move it hard.
"Meow!"
Pork Chop, who didn't like being treated like a pet, struggled to break away from Gordon's hands and glared at the latter angrily.
"This look is pretty much the same!"
Gordon smiled and picked up a piece of golden fried chicken from the dinner plate that had just been served and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely: "What are you worried about? Do you think we won't need you after we form a team?"
"Meow"
Pork Chop's pointed ears drooped, "I couldn't help at all in this hunt, meow. When Gordon and Ancil were fighting, I didn't even know how to get involved, meow."
"No, you did a great job."
Anhil held his fork and picked at the dinner plate for a long time. Finally, he selected a piece of chicken that was relatively pleasing to the eye and put it on the fork. He said leisurely: "The frequency of battles at that time was too intense. If you rush into the battle group rashly, On the contrary, it will disrupt the rhythm.”
"So, with Ancier, my existence is meaningless, meow." This time, not only the ears of Pork Chop, but also the beard drooped.
Gordon opened the mouth of the pork chop and stuffed a piece of piping hot fried chicken into it, making it squeak.
Seeing Pork Chop's "energetic" appearance, Gordon said: "Your position is not an attacker, why are you obsessed with this?"
"But my father said that a hunting cat that can fight side by side with its owner is a good hunting cat, Meow." After taking several hot breaths, Pig Chop muttered.
"Your father is talking nonsense." Gordon retorted without hesitation.
"Meow?"
After sorting out his words, Gordon explained: "You can't talk nonsense. You were very timid before, weren't you? The steak might be worried about you running away or something, so he encouraged you like this.
Will you leave me and run away alone? "
"How is it possible, meow!"
"So, when your father talks about 'fighting side by side', he doesn't mean standing side by side with a knife, but rather doing what each of them should do." Gordon followed the instructions.
Although he felt from the bottom of his heart that what Beefsteak, who had never been a hunting cat, said about fighting side by side, actually meant swinging knives together.
"What should I do, meow? What should I do better, meow?" Zhupa scratched his furry face, "I used to be responsible for guarding and covering, but now I don't seem to need it anymore, meow."
Anhil, who was watching the interaction between the man and the cat with great interest, spoke at this moment. "Who says it's not necessary? You, Ellu, have hearing and smell that far exceed that of us humans. In terms of vigilance and reconnaissance, no matter how good a hunter is, you can't match it.
You are petite and can drill holes, so it is not easy to attract the attention of monsters. You can sneak in and detect monsters. You can also help attract the attention of monsters, lay traps, use many hunting props, and help treat wounds!
God, why do you think you're useless? Do you know how popular an experienced hunting cat is, even in East Doruma? "
Anxier became more and more excited as he talked. He saw through Pork Chop's character of being prone to low self-esteem.
If at first, he was still praising Pig Chops to build up his confidence, then later on, he really felt that it would be so convenient to have such a hunting cat companion by his side!
He was starting to feel jealous of Gordon.
"Hey! You're not allowed to think about pork chops!" Gordon glared at Ancil and scolded half-jokingly.
An Xil snorted disdainfully, "Pork Chop, if one day you are dissatisfied with this guy, you can come to me at any time!"
"Get out of here!"
Seeing the two people arguing inexplicably, Zhupa scratched his little head shyly, and his little ears that were drooping just now stood up again.
After returning from the successful hunt for General Sickle, Gordon and Ancil stayed in Nagulli Village for several days without going to the hunting ground.
It was not because of laziness. Ancil's armor flying beetle suit was seriously damaged in the battle with General Sickle. Although it could be repaired, it took a lot of time.
What's more, his new weapon is coming soon!
"This is your 'Crystal Rifle'!" In front of the counter of the workshop, the water beast girl Lily placed a pair of dark blue heavy crossbows in front of Ancil.
"The power is also outstanding among heavy crossbows of the same level. Except for diffusion bullets, other ammunition can basically be used. In terms of attribute ammunition, water-cooled bullets and ice-free bullets can be used.
Most monsters in the volcanic zone are weak to ice and weak to water, so they are very popular. "
"Thank you very much." Ancier tried hard to maintain the politeness and reserve on the outside, but he couldn't hide the heat in his eyes when he looked at the new weapon.
"Hehe~!"
Noticing An Xil's eyes, Lily smiled and said: "Forget it this time, don't run away again in the future, dad is really angry to death."
"I understand." Anxier nodded seriously.
Gordon poked him with his elbow and whispered: "Hey, hey! Why don't you make an armor suit? Your flying beetle suit is like that, why not take the opportunity to change to a sickle crab suit.
I've asked Lily and the others, and it seems that the Scythe Crab suit installed by the shooter has pretty good reviews? "
"It's not bad." Anhil calmly put the crystal rifle on his back, "That set of defense has the special function of strengthening the penetrating bullets, and can also reduce the drift of the sight. The defense is also higher than the flying insect set."
"Then why not make a sickle crab suit?" Gordon was a little anxious.
"It's not necessary." Ancier still looked calm, "The materials from the general's crab hunt this time are not enough to build a crystal rifle and a crab suit at the same time.
The Flying Beetle suit is not outdated for me. Although the Ore Crystal Nova is also a good weapon, the Crystal Rifle has more advantages in terms of attribute bullets. "
Lily, the water beast girl, suddenly leaned out from behind the counter and said with a smile: "Hey, Gordon, we heard from dad that you want to challenge the Fire Dragon, right?"
"Huh? Yes." Gordon nodded.
The Fire Dragon was a hurdle he set for himself, and it was also a promise he made to everyone before leaving Kokot Village.
Now, this goal is finally getting closer to him.
"The Fire Dragon is weak to both water and ice, so the Crystal Rifle is a powerful weapon against that guy! Ancil decided to make this heavy crossbow only after he heard that you planned to challenge the Fire Dragon!"
"Long-winded!"
