When he saw Gordon the next day, Ernest had a strange look hidden in his eyes.
Peeing on the Sword of Heroes, this guy is really brave.
"The village chief has already sent a letter to the Hunter Guild. It is estimated that the task documents will be sent in a few days." Ernest crossed his arms habitually and told Gordon the long-awaited news.
"Long live!" Gordon cheered and ran into the house to tell Pork Chop and Ancil the good news.
Looking at the figure who was already a full circle older than himself, Ernest smiled and left alone.
inside the house.
"In this case, we have to prepare hunting props quickly." Anhil seemed calm as usual, but couldn't help but clenched his fists.
To him, the Fire Dragon has no special meaning, but being promoted to four stars means officially catching up with a dual-sword user whom he regards as his opponent.
Yes, Gordon boasted nicely to the instructor last night, but in fact, the preparations for hunting props haven't even started yet.
Most of the materials and luggage are still on the way to be checked in. It is unknown when they will arrive at Kokot Village and there is no hope.
Fortunately, whether it is special ammunition, traps, or alchemical potions such as antidotes, you can buy them from Hongshang, but the price is a little expensive.
After asking about the location of the store, Anhir volunteered to go shopping.
Gordon brought the pork chop to the farm in the village. He wanted to buy some honey, spider webs, waterweed, hollow fruits and other things.
These gadgets may also be sold in stores, but in terms of quality and price, farms have the upper hand.
Half a day later, Gordon and Ancil returned to the former's home with a full harvest. Most of what they purchased were just raw materials. If they wanted to make them into hunting props, they would need to spend time blending them.
The first battle against General Sickle seemed to have left a deep psychological shadow on Ancil. He suggested that all hunting props, including ammunition, be prepared in double the standard quantity.
To be honest, Gordon didn't think it was necessary, but with a prepared mind, he didn't object.
In the next few days, the two of them almost never left the house and hid in their homes adjusting props.
When instructor Ernest took the mission slip sent by the guild and pushed open the door of Gordon's house, he was really startled by the rows of potions and crossbow shells that filled the table.
After being stunned for two seconds, he nodded with appreciation, "That's right, that's it. You should be fully prepared for hunting! It's better to have a little more trouble beforehand than to find out that you're not fully prepared when you need it."
Gordon, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed picking up crossbow shells, threw the water-cooled shell he had just finished to Ancier. He jumped off the bed, walked to the instructor in two steps, and couldn't wait to ask:
"Has our promotion assignment been completed?"
"Here, here you go."
The instructor handed the receipt to Gordon, "There may be unexpected risks in this promotion mission. Look carefully before deciding whether to accept it. This is not an emergency. It's okay to refuse."
Gordon picked up the slip.

"Maybe a female fire dragon appears?"
Anhill, who came over to read the task document with Gordon, immediately noticed what Ernest meant by "unexpected risk."
He frowned and said, "If the male and female fire dragons appear together, it would already be a five-star mission."
"Not really." The instructor shook his head, "It is a five-star mission to hunt both male and female fire dragons at the same time."
Ancil and Gordon looked at each other, nodded their chins, and agreed with this statement.
Seeing that they had no objections, the instructor sighed helplessly and said, "Maybe it's also because you two teamed up for the promotion mission, so the guild raised the difficulty a bit as appropriate.
The information about the presence of female fire dragons has been given to you. If you choose to avoid or fight, you should make plans in advance. My suggestion is, don't force yourself. "
"Understood."
"Thank you for your reminder."
Gordon and Anhill should be at the same time.
"Be careful."
The instructor no longer nagged and reminded them as before, but simply said something, took a deep look at the two of them, and then turned and left.
The unexpected unfolding made the atmosphere in the room a little solemn.
"Mixed doubles for husband and wife." Gordon sat back on the bed and folded his arms in the same manner as the instructor.
Anhil glanced at him and sat back on the table, "Stop being weird and tell me what you think."
"The instructor is right, we can't fight hard. A male fire dragon is within our processing range. I can withstand the opponent's attack head-on and attract attention. You can do it remotely. It's perfect.
If there are two fire dragons, it's a completely different situation. It's hard for me to protect myself when surrounded by two fire dragons. Whichever one turns to you in the middle, I can't stop you. If you don't pay attention, you may even be destroyed there, and you can't escape. "Gordon said a little discouraged.
"It's not like you got the upper hand."
Anhil smiled and said: "We really don't have the strength to hunt two fire dragons at the same time now. If you shout nonsense like 'Let's do it together!' I will reward you with two water-cooled bullets first to calm you down." "
Gordon ignored Ancil's teasing and continued: "If we don't fight, there are only two options available. Either avoid the female fire dragon from the beginning, or find a way to lure the female fire dragon away."
"It's impossible to completely avoid it. Male and female fire dragons appear in the same area. They can only be partners. When a male fire dragon is attacked, it's unlikely that a female fire dragon will stand idly by." Anhil shook his head and rejected Gordon's first plan. .
"I can try to lure away the female fire dragon Meow!" Pig Chop raised his paws and volunteered, but his slightly trembling beard proved that he was still a little scared in his heart.
Now it was Gordon's turn to shake his head, "The IQ of flying dragons is not low. It's not easy to get the female fire dragon to keep looking at you. Letting it run back in the middle will be quite troublesome."
"Meow"
"I have another idea." Anxier frowned, seemingly reluctant.
"Tell me?"
"In the face of this situation, there is a special crossbow bullet that may have a good effect, but..."
"Stop being so pretentious! Say it quickly!"
"Okay." Anhil sighed and said, "Do you know about fertilizer bombs?"
"I don't know (meow)."
Gordon and Pork Chop shook their heads together, saying that they had never heard of this unusual ammunition from its name.
"Those are special crossbow bullets made of monster excrement. The smell is strong and indescribable." Ancier looked like he was constipated.
"If you hit the monster with a fertilizer bomb without noticing you, the stench of the fertilizer bomb will drive it away. We may be able to use this method to separate the male and female fire dragons."
"This method sounds good!" Gordon's eyes lit up when he heard this. "If the male and female fire dragons are far enough away, we have a greater chance of completing the hunt before it comes back."
"I can also follow the female fire dragon after it flies away and lead her further away, meow!" Pig Chop added, raising his paw.
"Okay, let's do it then!"
