Chapter 533: The Dragon-Piercing Stick
Gordon felt
very good about the fact that Pig Pork went to learn the art of animal transformation without consulting him.
Pork Chop is no longer the rookie hunting cat that was scared away by the ferocious look of the blacksmith uncle when he first came to Kokot Village. Now his strength even surpasses that of most hunters.
However, the path of the Boltcat with Bolts as its core has an end.
Unless he gives up his identity as a hunting cat and becomes a researcher like a master craftsman, focusing on developing explosive bombs with new structures and more powerful explosive formulas.
But it doesn’t want that!
When the long board cannot continue to grow, improving the short board is the best way to improve strength.
Cure cats? Fighting cats?
I was not entangled between the two pork chops, and decisively chose the latter.
It just so happened that among the hunting cats in Bernard Village, there was a magical technique known as "The Art of Beast Transformation" that could improve the combat power of fighting cats in a short time.
Learn from it!
More than a week has passed since the last time I hunted the giant beast and returned from Bokai Village.
Gordon and Pork Chop were a little itchy after learning the new moves. After a few brief discussions, they decided to take on a somewhat difficult but not so dangerous mission to adapt to the actual combat. .
Run to the task counter of Ryūliyuan, and with the help of the researcher who worked part-time as a receptionist, one person and one cat picked a task that was moderately difficult for them.
——
Hunting Mission: Searing Blade (★★★★★)
Quest Content: Hunting and Slaying Dragon
Reward: 25,000 gold
Mission location: Ancient Forest
Possible monsters: Big strange bird, jumping dog dragon, big wild boar
Limited time: 10 days
The head of Bernard Village: I heard that the terrifying dragon-slaying dragon appeared again in ancient times Lin, the Ryūliyuan investigation team was attacked and suffered huge losses. Hunters, hurry up and hunt that dragon-slaying beast!
——
The ancient forest has a warm climate and rich resources, so the preparation before hunting is not complicated.
After receiving the mission, Gordon and Pork Chop checked the equipment, packed the necessary supplies and hunting props, and set off in the airship.
No words all the way.
One day later, the small airship landed near the hunter camp. After greeting the pilot of the airship and the flight attendant Ellu, Gordon and Pig Chop jumped off the airship and walked to the camp. .
They had been to this camp two months ago, and their encounter with the trio of crossover teams was nearby.
Considering the number of large monsters like Zhanlong and the stability of the territory, the target they are going to hunt this time will most likely be the one from last time.
Just in time to continue the unfinished battle from last time.
With this thought in mind, one person and one cat walked into the camp talking and laughing.
As soon as they stepped into the entrance of the camp, they were stunned - there was actually a hunter here.
That was a middle-aged man with a gloomy temperament.
Gordon was surprised to find that he had never seen any of his armor or weapons.
This set of armor is made of some kind of ancient-looking black and red fabric, paired with many hideous monster skeletons, exuding an ominous aura from head to toe.
The weapon is even more strange, it is a two-handed weapon similar to a pair of swords.
But it is definitely not a double sword. The length of a single sword is more than one meter. Double swords are rarely this long, and in terms of shape, they are more like blunt weapons.
Stick?
Wait
Gordon suddenly remembered that when chatting with the master craftsman before, the latter had said that in the remote border area, a weapon from ancient times had been restored.
This weapon is called "Dragon Penetrating Stick".
Due to the extremely high difficulty of use, only high-level hunters are allowed to use it.
Gordon didn't know what the dragon-piercing stick looked like, and the master didn't elaborate. He just briefly mentioned that it was a two-handed weapon like the double swords.
There are many types of hunter weapons, but there are only a dozen types in total. The probability of encountering a completely unknown type of weapon is really low.
In addition, the two elements of "dual-wielding" and "stick" can be matched, Gordon felt that this person should be using the extremely rare "dragon-piercing stick".
Noticing the arrival of Gordon and the others, the middle-aged hunter frowned and stood up from the campfire.
Aware of the other party's vigilance, Gordon did not continue to approach, but first revealed his identity, "I am Gordon, the great swordsman from Bernard Village, and I have accepted the mission of hunting and slaying the dragon.< br>
Senior, you are the way "
The middle-aged hunter's frown deepened. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gordon carefully, and then said: "I also received the order to hunt and kill the dragon, show me. Your task document.”
Got an order?
This statement made Gordon a little interested. He took out the mission document sandwiched in his hunter's notebook and showed it to the middle-aged hunter, but did not hand it to him directly.
The middle-aged hunter also realized Gordon's distrust. After a few seconds of silence, he took out a shiny metal badge, displayed it in front of Gordon's eyes for two seconds, and then put it away.
"Guild Knight?" Gordon raised his eyebrows.
Although the other party did not display it for a long time, he could clearly see the entirety of the badge.
Of course Gordon recognized the badge.
Only a very small number of hunters directly connected to the guild will obtain the status of "Guild Knight". Unlike ordinary hunters, they are official personnel and even have certain law enforcement rights.
His senior brother Julius is a guild knight. In fact, with his master's relationship, he himself can apply to obtain the status of a guild knight.
Compared with ordinary hunters, guild knights have better benefits and greater power. The guild will even directly provide them with some elite equipment, such as Julius's favorite "ace suit".
But guild knights must always obey the guild's dispatches, and their freedom is even lower than that of upper-level hunters. This can be regarded as the price of those benefits and power.
Gordon had played with Julius's badge, and naturally he could see that the badge was real.
What's more, pretending to be a guild knight is an extremely illegal act in itself. It will attract the guild to pursue you in the dark, and few people will do this.
"Are the tasks overlapping?" Gordon muttered.
This situation is not common, but it is not uncommon. Especially in a remote and independent village like Bernard Village, the problem of poor information communication is particularly obvious.
Just when Gordon was hesitating, the guild knight glanced at the sword behind him.
The middle-aged hunter was startled for a moment, and then he took the initiative and said: "There should be a problem with the registration process. The mission goals of both of us are to hunt and slay dragons, and there is no conflict.
We can cooperate in hunting, and then I will report this to the guild and there will be nothing Additional influence."
Gordon thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Although personally he didn't want to cooperate with this mysterious and gloomy senior, but Considering the status of the other party's guild knight, it would be inappropriate to refuse.
The guild knight sat down by the campfire again and gave Gordon a "come and sit" look.
Gordon did not refuse. He sat down opposite the guild knight, took out the food he carried, and started chewing slowly.
The atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward. Pork Chop looked this way and then that, scratched his ears, and took out a piece of dried fish and chewed it.
The silence lasted for a while.
Gordon noticed that this strange guild knight seemed to be quite interested in the jet sword behind him and had already looked at it several times.
He simply explained, "This is a new type of sword developed by my master. It is still a trial model."
The guild knight looked at Gordon twice in surprise, "Are you Cambay's disciple?"
"Yes." Gordon smiled and nodded.
There should be no problem with this person’s identity.
The reason for this judgment is that there is an inconspicuous mark on the blade of the jet sword near the hilt.
This is the mark of the equipment manufacturing department of the guild headquarters.
There are many people who can recognize this mark, but those who can notice a certain inconspicuous pattern nested within it should be core members of the guild, or people who are familiar with the master.
——That is the signature seal of the master craftsman.
"That's it."
The guild knight nodded gently, "Your master and I are old acquaintances. You can call me 'Black Eagle'. That sword, do you mind giving it to me?" Shall I take a closer look?”
Ps. The character Black Hawk is only mentioned once in the introduction of mhwi’s Black Hawk design drawing, and will be expanded on this basis (end of this chapter)
