Autumn passed and winter came, spring left and summer came, and it was nearly a year ago that I escaped from death under the "Queen's Market City".
An airship landed on a platform in the mountains.
"Ah! The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the mountains are green! I'm finally back!" Gordon jumped off the airship and opened his arms wide.
He kept taking deep breaths, greedily pouring the fresh, moist air from the mountains into his lungs, washing away the damn smell of sulfur, until his head felt slightly dizzy.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ancil mocked Gordon, but couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It was ridicule, but he had to admit in his heart that compared to the hot, pungent, and haze-filled turbid air in the volcanic zone, the air quality in Bernard Village was much better.
"This trip to the volcano really lasted long enough." Gordon exhaled the last trace of turbid air in his lungs, and his body seemed to become relaxed. "Look at the pork chop, hahahaha!"
"Meow--#!"
Ai Lu, whose coat color is relatively light, will gradually become darker if she stays in hot areas for a long time.
The pork chop right now is dark brown and looks like it's been roasted...
Based on the experience of digging for stone protection a few years ago, it is estimated that it will take several months for the color of the coat to slowly fade back.
"Two and a half months is indeed a long time. That man with glasses is really good at calling people." Anhil rubbed Pork Chop's head and chuckled: "I'll have someone escort you from Dongdoruma later." Here comes the hair cream.”
"I said, is that excavation equipment really that good? Is it worth squatting deep in the volcano and serving as a guard for the Longli Academy's archaeological team for more than two months?" Gordon said with a smile.
Spending two or three months for a companion is nothing, and Ancier usually spends time with him to collect materials.
What's more, this time it was Ancier's rare initiative to request.
The question is whether the compensation is appropriate.
If it is a complete set, it will only have usable equipment. It is normal to spend several months preparing materials and getting a set of armor.
But that is simply a set of "antiques" that have been passed down from ancient times!
It was in tatters, and although the main body was still there, it was obviously unusable unless the same main material could be found for repair.
But the problem is, they don't even know what monster the main material of this excavation equipment comes from, so how can they collect it?
Anhil pinched his chin, "Okay, I admit it's a gamble, but my intuition tells me that if I don't get this set of equipment, I will definitely regret it in the future.
More importantly, didn't those archaeologists say that this set of equipment reacts strongly to dragon-type energy, and the main source of the equipment should be some kind of high-ranking ancient dragon. "
"Isn't it really because of the appearance of this set of equipment that it completely touches your aesthetic taste?"
"...It cannot be said that there is no reason for this at all."
"Tsk, you appearanceists."
The two chatted all the way, and finally came to the hunter's "small" house that Ancier rented, which was more spacious, double-story, and had its own basement and workshop.
As for Gordon's own cabin, it had become a place that he and Pork Chop would only consider returning to when sleeping at night.
After returning to the hut, the first thing Gordon, Ancil and Pork Chop did was not rest, take a bath or eat.
Instead, they carefully clean up and maintain their equipment - for hunters, this is the most important thing.
Gordon took out several wrenches and screwdrivers of different sizes from the tool box, and held a pair of tweezers in his mouth.
At this time, he didn't look like a hunter, but like a mechanic who squatted in the boiler room every day.
Looking at the "Dragon Heat Mechanism [Steel Wing]·Change" lying across the workbench, Gordon let out a long sigh.
This sword uses a new energy supply system, uses dragon jade, ancient dragon's blood, hellfire stone and other precious materials, and is carefully crafted by the master craftsman and chief engineer of Longliyuan. The advanced version of the jet sword , it can be said that any place is good.
The sharpness, destructive power, and feel are all top-notch.
It’s just that daily maintenance is quite troublesome.
For this reason, he had to spend a special period of time to find someone to learn a lot of knowledge about mechanical repair and maintenance.
Just to keep this sword in the best condition at all times, so as to avoid the embarrassing accident that the propulsion device suddenly shuts down in the middle of the battle.
According to the great craftsmen and master craftsmen, the reason why this "Dragon Heat Mechanism [Steel Wing]·Change" just added the word "Change" is because the technology is still not mature enough.
It's still too delicate.
If it were a ceremonial sword used by princes and nobles, this shortcoming would not be considered a shortcoming.
But this is a hunter's weapon, especially a swordsman's weapon. Durability can be said to be the most important thing.
If it weren't for the fact that the failure rate had indeed dropped a lot after the "reform", and even if the propulsion engine failed, this would still be a pretty good metal sword.
Gordon might not even dare to use it.
Perhaps, only when a "bionic reference object" suitable for the jet sword is found one day, as well as the corresponding materials, will the delicate problems common to this precision machine be truly solved.
Ancier, after maintaining his crossbow and skeleton spider armor, put out the "antique" set he just acquired.
He even brought a human-shaped stand, carefully straightened and flattened the broken equipment, and then looked at it from side to side as if appreciating a work of art.
"Excellent design is always pleasing to the eye."
After taking a small soft brush to clean away the non-existent dust on the antique armor, Anhil couldn't help but sigh, "Even though it comes from ancient times, human beings' pursuit of 'beauty' and 'elegance' has always been there. Something in common.
You will eventually see the day when you shine again, it’s really exciting..."
Listening to Ancil's gentle voice as he "conversed" with the antique armor, Gordon couldn't help but roll his eyes.
In the past, he would only say these "love words" to his heavy ballistae, but now the symptoms have worsened and spread to his armor.
Hertha is so pathetic...
To be honest, this set of antique armor, which Ancil almost regarded as his lover, is indeed quite beautiful.
The main part is not made of hard armor, but rather like the wing membrane of some kind of monster. It looks soft but is actually tough.
The intersecting main colors of blue, white, and gold give this set of equipment a sufficiently "high-end feel", especially the golden parts. Gordon has never seen such gold.
It is not the dazzling and gorgeous golden color of gold, but the white gold with a hint of illusory cyan, like some kind of naturally formed jewelry, which is pleasing to the eye.
It's a pity that this set of equipment is incomplete...
The chest, back, greaves, and shoulder armor were damaged in many places. It is not known whether the original owner died a tragic death during his lifetime, or whether the erosion of time caused all this.
Anyway, in the eyes of pragmatists like Gordon, things that cannot be used are worthless.
"It's so beautiful!" An Xil couldn't help but praise it again.
Gordon: "..."
are you crazy!
Just when Gordon was hesitating whether he should send Anhir to East Doruma and let Miss Herta repair his brain.
There was a knock on the door of the hunter's cabin.
Gale rushed over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Yuna from the "cross team" whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
This lively sledgehammer rubbed Gale's furry dog's head vigorously, and then waved to Gordon and the others full of energy.
"Senior Gordon, senior Ancier, long time no see!"
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Hello."
After greeting each other, Yuna took out the letter.
"This was just sent to the village a few days ago. When you were away, the village chief uncle helped to keep it for the time being. I just heard the village chief say that when he saw you coming back, he asked me to send it over!"
Yuna handed over the letter, "I heard from the messenger that it is a letter from Yanhuo Village."
