For several days, the corners of Ancier's mouth were raised.
According to the Tulong village chief, Ancier's dragon protection stone can be used for a lifetime and is a typical "graduation equipment".
There are protective stones with effects above this, but they are already "legendary treasures" level things, and generally there is no need to consider them.
Gordon, on the other hand, had a dark face, and there was no one in this batch of protective stones that he could use.
It is absolutely normal to fail to dig out the guard stone you like for the first time. It is strange for Ancier to graduate in one go. But just because of the latter for comparison, what was originally a matter of course becomes painful.
Jealousy gave him cardiorespiratory arrest
To be honest, even Ancil himself felt a little sorry for Gordon.
The guard stone was dug by two people together. Theoretically, the results should be shared equally. If the dragon guard stone was not suitable for him, it would be normal to sell it in exchange for money and share it equally.
According to Ancier's understanding of the stone protection market, if this stone protection stone is auctioned in East Doruma, there is no problem in fetching seven figures. There are many top shooters who are willing to spend all their money for it.
He also expressed his hope to give Gordon a large sum of money as compensation, but Gordon refused.
The latter believes that since they are teammates, the stone guard improves the strength of the entire team, so there is no need to make such clear calculations.
In the end, Ancier came up with a compromise plan.
He gave Gordon the "Elf Protection" protective stone he originally used. This protective stone can help the wearer resist some injuries with a certain probability.
A classic snake oil that anyone can use.
At the same time, he also promised that even if he digs until he vomits, he will keep digging with Gordon until he finds his favorite stone guard!
Time went like this, more than two months passed between the volcano and Naguli Village countless times.
Gordon and Ancil were really going to vomit.
Thanks to the help of the ruins distribution map copied from Alva, they would gain something every time.
But after appraising more than a hundred protective stones, I still couldn't find the right one. Instead, I made a lot of money by selling junk protective stones and ores.
Maybe it was the Dragon Protective Stone that raised their expectations too high.
Another batch of protective stones were wiped out after identification.
As if they were used to it, Gordon Anhill and Pork Chop sighed together, and with a "Sure enough" mentality, they ran to the assembly hall tavern to drink to relieve their boredom.
"Forget it if you can't dig it out, why can't you even receive the acquisition?" Gordon lamented angrily after taking a sip of the ale that seemed to be bitterer than usual.
"Meow" Pig Chop was lying on the edge of the table, meowing weakly.
Anxier turned the handle of the cup, not interested in drinking at all. "Stone protection is really priceless. It's hard to find something better."
"Bang!" Gordon suddenly slammed the wine glass on the table.
He suggested: "I say, why don't we take on some other missions and go hunting for a change?"
"I agree."
"Okay meow."
They were all afraid that if they continued like this, they would forget that they were hunters and think that they were miners or something.
They came to the mission counter in a swarm. Miss Marian, the waitress, looked at their faces and said consciously: "Exploration mission, right? I'll register it."
"No! We plan to take on a hunting mission this time!" Gordon quickly interrupted Marianne's record and emphasized.
"Hunting mission?" Marianne raised her eyes in surprise, "Gordon, have you dug up your favorite protective stone?"
"Not yet, just want to relax."
Marianne covered her mouth with her palms and chuckled, "It turns out that I'm tired of digging for protection stones. It's not good to be impatient. There are many hunters who have been digging for longer than you and haven't found the protection stones that they like." "
"Sister Marianne, the most unlucky hunter you have ever seen, how long has it been digging for before you dig it out?" Gordon couldn't help but ask.
"Three and a half years."
Gordon: "."
Fine?
Although she verbally advised Gordon to be patient when digging for stone protection, Marianne still took out all the task documents.
Gordon and Ancil directly skipped the one-star and two-star missions. With their strength, they could easily complete the three-star mission alone. It would be really boring for the two of them to team up to take on the two-star mission.
Perhaps it was because Naguli Village gathered a large number of hunters who came to try their luck in digging for stone protection. There were not many tasks for them to choose from. Gordon saw the Red Armored Beast and also saw the Red Speed Dragon King appearing in pairs. , but unfortunately none of them are interested.
"Yeah, I almost forgot, here is the task list that Zhang just sent from Dongdoruma with the Peregrine Falcon." Marian adjusted her glasses and took out Zhang's new task list, "The reward is very high, the requirements are But it’s weird.”
"Peregrine urgent? Urgent mission?" Gordon took the document curiously.
"It's not an urgent task, just because, well, the client is a very rich and powerful guy." Marianne's eyes trembled, as if she had a headache about the content of the commission.
——
Hunting mission: different ornamental fish (★★★)
Mission content: Capture the lava dragon
Remuneration: 30000z
Mission location: Lava Canyon
Possible monsters: Lava Beast, Red Armored Beast, Giant Bee, Red Velociraptor
Limited time: 5 days
Mysterious client: Yohohohohoho~!
I personally designed a beautiful large fish pond. Ordinary ornamental fish are not worthy of it!
Mud Ichthyosaurus? No, no, I'm so disgusted with the dirty stuff. Fish a lava dragon for me! Only a big fish that can swim in magma is worthy of my fish pond!
pay attention! The head and tail are not allowed to be cut off, I want it to be complete and beautiful!
——
"Raising a lava dragon as an ornamental fish? What a mess! It's just a request to capture it. What the hell is it without being injured? Who would accept such a task!" Gordon couldn't help complaining loudly.
But when he saw the number in the mission reward column, his attitude changed drastically, "Three, thirty thousand gold? Well, it's not like I can't give it a try."
An Xil took the receipt and looked at it twice, his expression suddenly became subtle.
He looked at Marianne and asked as if in a code: "Is it her?"
"It's her." Marian held her forehead and confirmed.
"What riddle are you talking about?" Gordon asked with some dissatisfaction: "Who is she, the 'mysterious client', and what is this guy's identity?"
Anhil shook the task document and said: "The extremely high reward, the outrageously willful requirements, and the oral habits of 'concubine' and 'ja', the client should be the 'third princess'."
"Princess?! The client is actually a princess!"
"Well, in East Doruma, the third princess is famous for her willfulness and extravagance, and those who have come into contact with her commissions from various gatherings should also be impressed.
To be honest, catching a three-star monster as an ornamental fish may seem outrageous to others, but if the client is the third princess, it can only be said to be a normal operation.
Requests such as capturing fire dragons to make pets, and capturing dragon subspecies to make alarm clocks occur several times a year.
One of her most famous commissions was to hire a team of eight- and nine-star top hunters to hunt a golden lion, a terrifying toothed beast that was as powerful as an ancient dragon.
The reason was that she was afraid of the cold and wanted to use the fur of a golden lion to make a cloak. I heard that she later threw it away because the cloak was not soft enough. "
Gordon: "."
.
Ps. The original mission seemed to be a fishing competition with her brother, and then she wanted the hunter to help her catch a lava dragon to cheat? Make some changes here 0v0
The Lava Dragon seems to be a monster that appears later in the game. I don't understand it, so I describe it in a "little" way.
