After Hayata repaired her armor, she reapplied for the promotion mission and went hunting alone.
Gordon placed the order for the Blue Fire Dragon Suit and the Fire Dragon Sword to the workshop, and it would take about ten days to actually complete them.
As a result, he has been very idle recently.
In addition to the main weapon, the Fire Dragon Flame Sword, which is being strengthened and forged in the workshop, he also has two backup weapons.
——The "Explosive Knife Kai" that has been eliminated, and the "Rusty Great Sword" that is polished with plate-shaped rust blocks dug out of the volcano, and it is unknown what use it has.
With the Explosive Knife, it's okay to at least do a three-star mission, but it doesn't seem necessary.
Gordon, who had few acquaintances in East Doruma, visited his master a few times and harassed his senior brother Julius. When he felt bored, he stayed at home to train, catch fish, and spend the holidays leisurely.
A few days later, Gordon, who was dozing on the sofa, received a reply from Anhill and the others.
The peregrine falcon that delivered the letter flew directly to the Sterling Chamber of Commerce. Jessica collected the important letters and then sent someone to deliver the small letter paper attached to the mailbox.
There is very little content on the letterhead.
[Congratulations to Five Star. I have no objection to the new teammate. ]
This is Ancier's handwriting. The content is simple but clear.
[Come on~! ]
This was written by Feng Ying, and I don’t know what she was cheering for.
I also drew something on the side that I couldn’t tell whether it was a dumpling or a flower. It was very mysterious.
Gordon looked through the letter paper and after confirming that no other information was missing, he balled it up and threw it into the wastebasket.
Then he turned over and sat up on the sofa, intending to go to Pork Chop to discuss the philosophical question of "what to eat at night".
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Gordon straightened his shirt and went to open the door.
I originally thought that the person who knocked on the door was the servant of the Sterling family who had just delivered a letter, and he had forgotten to explain something.
After opening the door, he found that the people standing outside were Julius and a strange female hunter.
Gordon crossed his arms, leaned against the door frame, and said with a smile, "Senior brother? You have such a free day today, why don't you come to me for tea?"
In fact, he is not usually such a playful and smiling person, but when he saw Julius who always kept a straight face and looked like a judge, he especially wanted to make a joke.
Julius frowned at him.
Seconds later, Gordon surrendered
"Come in, come in, tsk, I don't know who you learned how to manage your expressions from. Master is obviously such a kind person." Gordon turned sideways and invited Julius and the strange female hunter to come in.
"What to drink? Black tea?" Gordon asked as he led the two of them to sit down at the dining table.
"No."
Julius said in a calm tone, "I would rather drink hot water than the tea you made. It's really a waste of the good tea leaves from the Ancil family."
The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched, and he raised his voice and shouted: "Pork chop! Help me make a cup of black tea! And give Julius a cup of boiling water!"
"Meow!"
The huntress covered her mouth and chuckled. She rarely had the chance to see Julius' deflated expression.
"Okay, no more joking." Gordon knew that Pork Chop would make a pot of tea soon, "Why don't you introduce this lady?"
"I'll do it myself."
The female hunter smiled and said: "I am Nadia, a four-star light crossbow user. I am Julius's regular teammate. Please give me some advice."
"Gordon, five-star swordsman, nice to meet you."
Gordon bumped fists with Nadia and briefly looked at each other.
This is a young woman whose appearance can easily give people a "wild" impression. She should be about the same age as Julius, in her twenties.
There are red war lines tattooed on her brownish-black skin, even on her face. Her long black hair is braided into countless tiny braids and then pulled into a simple high ponytail. It is also dotted with many colorful beads and stones, which is very stylish. exotic.
Gordon didn't recognize her armor. Except for the wrist armor, the armor leaves were almost invisible, and her muscular abdomen was directly exposed.
There are only two types of people who like this kind of armor with almost no defensive performance. One is mentally retarded, and the other is a master who is extremely confident in his own skills and has a light and agile fighting style.
To be favored by Julius and become a regular teammate, Nadia undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
While Gordon was sizing up Nadia, Nadia was also sizing him up.
For hunters, this level of sizing is not offensive - they need it to judge each other's strength.
Even though Gordon was not wearing equipment at this time, Nadia could still see some clues from the muscle circumference, hands, movement habits, etc.
"Okay, you two are almost familiar with each other, let's talk about business." Julius said.
Gordon's expression became more serious. He looked at Julius and motioned for the latter to continue.
"Master's research needs a kind of monster material." After saying this, Julius paused, "Nadia and I are not completely sure, so I came to you."
Gordon nodded, Julius's purpose was pretty much what he guessed.
"Of course I will help with Master's matter, but it will have to wait for about a week. My main battle weapon is being strengthened in the workshop. As for the backup weapon, the level may not be enough."
"What's the sharpness of the backup weapon?"
"Explosive Knife Kai, Green Slash, I have the 'Takumi' protective stone, I can hardly mention Blue Slash."
"That's enough." Julius nodded with satisfaction.
"Huh?" Gordon was stunned.
Generally speaking, green Zhanwei weapons are standard equipment in the three-star hunter era. Four-star weapons can be used just fine, as long as you don't encounter monsters with outstanding defensive capabilities. If you deal with five-star monsters, they are basically completely useless. Pretty much. Hit anyone with the knife.
Just like Hayata's slashing sword, there is nothing you can do against the Blue Fire Dragon.
Five-star Julius is not sure about adding a four-star excellent light crossbow user, and he has to bring along a monster that can only be hunted by a five-star sword user. Why must he be a top five-star existence, right?
Exploding Knife·Change, enough?
Understanding what Gordon was wondering, Julius explained: "The target is not a five-star monster, but a two-star monster."
Gordon raised his eyebrows.
He was not surprised at all. He knew Julius's character very well. He didn't like to joke. Since the target was two stars, there must be a special reason.
"Do you know Arusselutas?" Julius asked Gordon.
"Beetle? You know something about two-star beetle monsters, right?" Gordon didn't like reading very much, but he had read all the illustrations of various monsters.
Since it is this kind of monster, Gordon somewhat understands.
"If I remember correctly, its female individual, Generu Serutas (Heavy Beetle), is a five-star dangerous monster, right? She is also known as the 'Heavyweight Empress'.
Do you need my help because you are worried about the existence of heavy beetles? "
"You could say that, but it's not quite accurate."
Julius put his index finger and thumb against his chin.
"Master needs the 'Beetle's Sharp Horn'. It seems to be used to develop special cannonballs. The demand is large. In order to protect the ecological environment, this is a long-term collection process."
Gordon nodded in understanding.
Master Craftsman is not the kind of madman who is desperate for research. As an official weapon research and development master, while collecting various materials, he also pays great attention to ecological protection.
"Not long ago, I saw a rather special mission. If it goes well, I should be able to collect a large number of 'Thunder Beetle Horns' at once.
It was a commission from Sinard Village.
It is said that the presence of the heavy beetle has attracted a large concentration of thru beetles, posing a serious threat to nearby villages. It is hoped that hunters can hunt five thru beetles. "
Gordon: "Five."
