The airship fell off the clouds and descended steadily.
The green of the trees, the light blue of the lake, and the pink of the cherry blossoms filled the vision of everyone on the deck of the airship.
"Wow, these cherry blossoms!"
Looking at the prosperous village on the island in the middle of the lake, overwhelmed by countless cherry blossoms, Hayata couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Anhil, who just passed through Yanhuo Village half a year ago and has lived here for several weeks, explained: “It’s like spring here all year round, and the cherry blossoms are blooming all year round.
It happens to be early spring again in March, the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
It is said that many tourists from the Western Continent and even the Old Continent will take advantage of this period to come to Yanhuo Village to enjoy the cherry blossoms. We have caught up with it at a good time. "
"Pink meow!"
"Yeah, it's really pretty."
Gordon and Pork Chop lay side by side on the railing of the ship, admiring everything below.
He considered himself a rough man, and flowers and plants were not among his preferences, but even so, he had to admit that this sea of flowers was rare in the world.
】
The airship finally landed at the dock of Yanhuo Village.
Although it is just a lakeside pier with no access to the sea, there is at least enough space for airboats to take off and land.
If we parked directly in the village square, the airbag might get caught on those lush cherry blossom branches.
Hunters don’t carry much luggage with them.
Gordon's Epitaph Sword, the Fire Dragon Sword, the Blue Fire Dragon Suit that was reduced to a backup armor, Ancil's Mithril Rifle and Artillery [Ferocious Bird], and some miscellaneous materials, were all before leaving Yuyun Village. Entrusted to the Sterling Chamber of Commerce.
The storm has subsided and the sea route has been opened. These equipment and materials will be safely sent back to East Doruma via sea route.
Only Hayata, who planned to practice in Yanhuo Village for a period of time, still carried all four weapons with him. He looked strange and arrogant while carrying four large swords, attracting the curious eyes of many passers-by on the pier.
Hayata was thin-skinned, so he struggled to hold the three Odachi swords in his arms.
As a result, more eyes were focused...
Ancil gave Gordon a wild wink, and Gordon shrugged, stretched out his hand and "snatched" the three knives that Hayata was holding in his arms.
He is much thicker-skinned than Hayata. Passersby can look at him if they like. It doesn't matter if he is regarded as a weapons dealer.
However, due to his size and the "ungood guy" appearance of the Dino Tyrannosaurus armor, there were really not many passers-by who dared to stare at him.
In order not to cause too much trouble to the people on the dock, the airship quickly took off again and set off to leave. Gordon and the others also walked towards the assembly center under the leadership of Ancil.
"It's more lively than I thought." Gordon looked left and right in the crowded village road.
Wherever he went, the flow of people naturally parted to both sides to make way for him.
There is no special reason. Anyone with eyes would not want to get too close to him, lest they be poked into pieces by the ferocious spikes on the Terror Tyrannosaurus armor.
"Didn't I just say that it's the peak tourist season in Yanhuo Village right now." Anhil replied casually.
"Hmm? Mr. Ancil!" A pleasant female voice with a hint of humor came from the roadside.
Gordon and the others turned around and found that the person who stopped Ancil was a young woman from the Dragon Tribe sitting on a bench by the roadside.
In her hand, she held several bunches of colorful and cute glutinous rice dumplings, and she was chewing them with her mouth puffed out.
"Miss Huoya."
Anhil nodded to her, and after saying hello, he briefly introduced the two parties, "Great Sword Master Gordon, and Tai Sword Master Hayata, I mentioned them to you before.
This is Huo Ya, Feng Ying’s, eh, sister? He is also a bow hunter. "
Huo Ya took all the rabbit dumplings into his mouth at an astonishing speed, puffed out his cheeks and chewed hard twice. After swallowing, he stood up gracefully, bowed and said:
"It turns out to be Mr. Gordon and Miss Hayata. I have often heard Feng Ying mention you. When the child is away, he relies on you to take care of him. When he comes to Yanhuo Village on this trip, please be sure to let us entertain him well."
While Gordon was thinking about whether he could swallow those few strings of glutinous rice dumplings that looked very solid in such a short period of time, he exchanged a few words with the other party.
The next task of leading the way was naturally taken over by Huo Ya.
Under her leadership, Gordon and the others quickly arrived at the assembly hall. They passed through the door curtain decorated with cherry blossom branches and entered the assembly hall. Gordon and Hayata could not help but be stunned.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" An Xil looked at the show with an expression that said, "I guess you will be shocked."
"I think I'm quite knowledgeable. Even the public tavern in East Doruma, which is the largest hunter gathering place in the world, can only be described as 'magnificent'. In terms of 'exquisiteness', this place surpasses East Doruma." a street."
"They actually planted cherry blossom trees directly inside the building..."
Hayata stroked the winding trunk of the huge cherry blossom tree in the center of the assembly hall, "It's like being in a cherry blossom forest."
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
The fat old man sitting cross-legged on the head of the ghost frog cub said with a smile: "But the little girl was wrong about one thing. She did not plant the cherry blossom tree in the building, but the assembly hall was built around the cherry blossom tree."
"Mr. Sui Fengmin, long time no see." An Xil took the initiative to say hello to the old man.
"Brother Anxier, these two are probably the 'Master Gordon' and 'Sister Hayata' that Feng Ying calls. She misses you so much."
"This is the manager of the Yanhuo Village Assembly Hall, Mr. Sui Fengmin, and he is also the person in charge of the assembly hall." An Xil introduced the old man's identity.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries again.
"Do you think people in this village pay great attention to etiquette?" Gordon muttered in his mind.
With the help of Shui Yun, the hostess at the meeting place, and Sui Fengmin, the person in charge, Gordon and the others quickly completed the temporary registration procedures, updated the hunter's notes, and received the rewards for previous missions.
After learning about Gordon and the others' record of repelling Lan Long, Sui Fengmin, who was always smiling, couldn't help but open his eyes.
As a former elite hunter, he knew the value of this very well.
"The next generation is to be feared..."
"ah--!"
Sui Fengminzheng sighed in an old-fashioned way, and a figure rushed in from outside the assembly hall cheering.
It was Feng Ying who got the news.
"Sister Hayata! Master Gordon! And Pork Chop Pandan, you are really here!"
Feng Ying ran headlong into Hayata's arms, and her forehead hit the solid metal armor of [Hinata] suit, making a "winter" sound.
Rubbing her red forehead, Feng Ying didn't care, and chirped and asked: "Is everything over in Jieyun Village over? Is it going well?
Sister Hayata, how long will you stay here? I will take you to eat delicious food!
Ah, by the way, Sister Hayata doesn’t need to rent a hunter’s hut anymore, she can just stay at my house. Although I can’t cook, I can go to Sister Huoya Shuiyun’s house to have a meal~! "
"Take the rabbit dumplings?" An Xil couldn't help but interjected.
"Nonsense! There are other delicacies besides rabbit dumplings in Yanhuo Village!"
Gordon smiled as he watched Feng Ying and Hayata chattering and bickering with An Xil. He stretched out his hand and patted her on the top of her head. "By the way, I have something to tell you. Our team name has been decided. It's called ' Silver edge'."
Feng Ying was stunned for several seconds when she heard the words, and suddenly sniffed.
During the days when she returned to Yanhuo Village, she was actually not in a good mood.
The thought "Have I been abandoned?" came to her mind more than once, and she was not even sure whether Gordon and the others would really come to pick her up.
Feng Ying actually didn't care too much about the name of the team and its meaning.
Just confirming that she was not left behind was enough for her to be happy.
