Port of Minagarde in the early morning.
Before a certain cargo ship from the Western Continent could dock, a petite figure jumped down from it.
The tourists passing by and the workers on the dock couldn't help but turn their eyes to her, consciously or unconsciously.
Her curved legs and pointed ears proved her identity as a dragon tribe, but this was not the reason why everyone focused on her. After all, dragon tribes were not uncommon in Minagarde City.
What really makes everyone find interesting is her small stature and her outfit.
The little girl, who is almost 150 centimeters tall, is so slender that she looks like she can be blown away by a gust of wind. But judging from the equipment on her body and the weapons on her back, she seems to be a hunter.
I have never seen such a small hunter.
When the girl who had been floating on the sea for a long time landed on the dock, her steps were still a little wobbly, "Ouch~!" After she regained her footing, she breathed softly and clenched her fists as if to encourage herself. .
So cute.
Such thoughts appeared in the minds of everyone around him at the same time.
He is two meters tall, with shoulders as wide as a city wall, and arm circumference comparable to the head circumference of an ordinary person. His bald head is covered with scars and his mouth reads "Clam Clam Clam". This bold and fierce man fits the standard image of a monster hunter in ordinary people's minds.
He and the little girl in front of him can be said to be two extremes.
Noticing that everyone around her was looking at her, the dragon girl trembled all over, folded her hands in front of her belly and bowed quickly, then ran away.
After leaving the dock, the dragon girl asked for directions. Finally, with the help of an enthusiastic sister, she successfully arrived at the gate of the Minagard Hunter Assembly.
She sincerely thanked her sister for leading her, and then opened the door and entered the hall of the Hunter Assembly Hall.
The arrival of the dragon girl naturally attracted the attention of the hunters in the hall.
As if seeing some kind of rare beast, the brothers and sisters who meet the expectations of the public gathered together one after another.
"Ah! What a cute little girl!"
"Is my little sister a newcomer? This equipment seems to be in the style of the Western Continent?"
"The little one is so cute, it reminds me of my sister!"
"Wake up, you don't have a sister."
"Now there is!"
"roll!"
"Hey, hey! The little girl is so thin. Did she secretly wear her parents' equipment and run out to play?"
"(ˇˇ)#"
Facing everyone's child-like enthusiasm, the dragon girl smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.
In the rented room, Gordon sat on the edge of the bed with his hands on his knees, thinking about life.
Why did I become a loner in an instant?
Due to similar ideas, Ancier was attracted by Miles and said that he wanted to teach him the experience and skills of using a heavy crossbow. An old man and a young man went to the hunting ground together and came back half a month later.
This was Ancil's opportunity, which was pretty good. It would take some time to wait for the Sickle Crab suit to be manufactured anyway. It would be better for him to "learn" with Miles than to fish in the city.
Next came the pork chop.
Zhupa, who had been away from his hometown group for several years, proposed that he would take this opportunity to go back and see his parents.
This must be agreed. Gordon also specially bought a lot of food utensils for Zhupa to take with him, and immediately asked Zhupa to say hello to Beefpa for him.
His teammates went for further training, Maomao went home to visit relatives, and Gordon, who didn't know what to do on his own, wanted to join Ted and the others to form a team. Anyway, everyone's hunter level was about the same.
After asking Ti Ji, I found out that the "alcohol" team set out yesterday afternoon and the team failed.
Right now, I have to stay in Minagard for at least half a month. Is he going to eat, play, and lie down for half a month? Or just find a mission and go to the hunting ground to relive the feeling of hunting alone?
Gordon sat by the bed and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a result.
In the end, I still plan to go to the task counter first to see if there are any interesting tasks before making a decision.
From the floor where the hunter's cabin is located to the lobby on the first floor of the assembly hall, Gordon's attention was first attracted by the movement from the tavern area before he could walk to the mission counter.
A large group of hunters gathered around the wine table, shouting and cheering.
Waiters and assembly hall staff could even be seen in the crowd, and it was extremely lively.
"Uh, it's just an arm wrestling match in the morning?" Gordon muttered.
This scene was familiar to him.
As warriors, hunters naturally like to compete, but pointing weapons at humans is strictly prohibited.
Therefore, "wine table entertainment activities" such as arm wrestling and wrestling are very popular among hunter groups and can be seen almost every day. This is how he and Ted got to know each other back then.
But most of them were after heavy drinking, this early in the morning.
Gordon was complaining in his heart, but he couldn't help but move towards the crowd.
——He likes arm wrestling the most, because he has never seen anyone who can beat him. He could beat Ted when he was 17 or 18 years old, let alone now after fully growing up in his early twenties.
Noticing Gordon's arrival, the onlookers quickly moved out of the way.
This is how the king of arm wrestling is treated!
With a reserved but proud smile on his face, he walked into the crowd and came to the table, but when he saw the two players competing clearly, his expression suddenly broke.
He knew the short, fat man on the left side of the wine table. He was a three-star giant hammer user. Although his hunter level was not high, he had a lot of strength and was a frequent visitor to arm wrestling venues.
But the person on the right side of the wine table
Uh, how old are you, little girl?
Anyway, she must be underage, barely a girl? I feel like Hayata is about the same age as Hayata when we first met, fifteen or sixteen?
According to common sense, the wrist strength of a petite girl cannot be compared with that of a strong adult man, even if the girl is a dragon tribe. After all, the dragon tribe has no advantage over humans in terms of muscle strength.
However, this unnatural scene happened in front of everyone.
——The dragon tribe girl clasped the edge of the table with one hand to stabilize her body, and held the other hand with the giant hammer user. The two were in a stalemate.
Looking at the constantly shaking solid wood tabletop and the red face of the hammer user, Gordon understood that there should be no possibility of cheating or cheating.
This stalemate lasted not long, and amid the crazy cheers of the crowd, the dragon girl gradually gained the upper hand.
The giant hammer user gritted his teeth and exerted force, his cheeks bulged high, and his eyes almost popped out, but he couldn't shake the slender little arm with no muscle lines.
The balance of victory is tilting step by step.
Finally, with a loud "Clang!", the back of the hammer user's hand hit the table hard, and an empty wine glass placed on the edge of the table was knocked over.
"Win~!"
The dragon girl jumped up happily, but immediately restrained her expression, as if she was trying to maintain her calm and mature persona.
The referee was a tall huntress who, as was customary, grabbed the winner's wrist and held it high.
"The winner is! Feng Ying from Yanhuo Village!!!"
Under everyone's speechless gaze, the dragon girl, whose height barely reached the referee's chest, was lifted up with her feet dangling in the air.
Feng Ying: "."
ps. Let’s be honest, the prototype of the character Feng Ying is young Shui Yun (in appearance). In fact, initially I wanted to write Shui Yun directly.
However, considering a series of factors such as the setting of the twins and their responsibilities, it would be too OOC to force Shuiyun (my wife) away from her sister in Yanhuo Village, so I had no choice but to give up.
