Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1309: Man's Happiness

"Brother Ted?!" Gordon was stunned, "Aren't you in Yuechen? Why are you here?
No, we just came here by airship yesterday, how did you get here?!"

Ted shouted at the waiter to bring more wine and meat, and then muttered, "I came here on a pterosaur. It took me almost three days to fly. I'm so tired!"

"You flew back from the Everfrost on a pterosaur? That pterosaur is still alive?"

"So why are you here?" Gordon asked tentatively.

He noticed that something seemed off about Ted.

"Bang!" Ted slammed the table. "I just came back to take a look!"

Facing the disbelieving looks from his classmates, he muttered for a while, and finally told the truth, "Actually, I just came back to have some free time."

Just as the waiter brought the wine, Gordon pushed the head-sized wine glass in front of Ted and said with interest, "Come on, let's drink and talk."

After guzzling down another full glass of beer, Ted exhaled the alcohol and said, "Hickey, it's nothing, I'm just a little upset!"

Gordon and Alva, the two married men, looked at each other and quickly ordered a few more drinks for Ted.

"Tell me slowly, one thing at a time!"

Ted finally opened up, "Actually, it was about the Moon Star Defense War. The area we were responsible for investigating was too far away from our base, so we didn't see any signals and didn't rush back.

This is indeed my fault. If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in the base and there would have been fewer casualties."

"It's hard to say who's to blame for this. It's just luck." Gordon comforted him. He could understand Ted's feelings.

For the Yuechen stronghold at that time, the Alcohol Squad was a very important force.

If the three of them had participated in the defense, the battle might not have been so tragic.

On the day the Alcohol Team finished their investigation and returned to their base, they happened to arrive at the funeral of the victim. The three of them had no idea what had happened and were completely confused, so it was natural for them to feel guilty.

"I was in a bad mood during those days, and so were Maka and the others. We had a few big fights for some random reasons, but we were just venting our emotions."

Ted stopped drinking and became much more restrained in his drinking after accepting Ansel's forced alcohol rehabilitation.

Alva handed Ted a carrot and asked him to eat it as a snack. "It's okay to be in a bad mood. When Rania is in a bad mood, I will try to run away and hide."

"So, isn't that why I'm here?"

"Uh, that's right."

"Well, it was actually Ansel's idea. He said that since both of us were in the wrong mood, we should not see each other for a while so that we can calm down."

"As expected of Ansil-meow."

"What about Oshura and the others?" Az asked with some concern.

He has a pretty good relationship with Oshura.

"The two of them were taken by Feng Ying and her friends. One went to see the Northern Lights, and the other went to soak in the hot springs. I had nowhere to go, and I wanted to stay in the pub over there and drink for a few days.

Anxier told me that we should come to Xingchen, saying that you want to do something more interesting and I can go with you. "

Gordon twitched his lips.

For a moment he was a little confused as to whether Ansel had found a helper for his good brother or a nanny for his eldest son.

Can this be refused?
It doesn't seem appropriate. We agreed to practice alone, but the number of people increased.

This is almost a full-strength team of upper-level hunters, with three heavy-weapon swordsmen and a shooter. It seems that it is also possible to change the investigation mission into a hunting mission?
Of course not. The commander-in-chief will not agree.
Having said that, there was a musketeer user, a spear user, and myself as a greatsword user who had taken a series of defensive preparations.

Are all of them really hard?

Gu Long would complain about the poor quality of the meat after taking a bite, right?

"Let's go together." Gordon had an expression that said, "Whatever, it doesn't matter. I'm tired."

"But let me make it clear first. Our mission this time is mainly for investigation. If there is a chance, I would like to confront the ancient dragon, but it is best not to start a fight."

"What the hell?" Ted asked in confusion, "Weren't we going fishing together? How did it turn into investigating an ancient dragon?
What kind of ancient dragon? What does it mean to want to confront but not to start a fight? "

Faced with Ted's series of questions, Gordon had to explain the causes and processes of the training plan and the commander-in-chief's commission.

"So, the ideal situation is that you guys help me hold the line while I play with the ancient dragon for a while. It would be best if everyone could hold back and not cause any serious trouble."

"It feels a bit idealistic, meow."

Zhuchop took a big bite of the grilled fish and said vaguely, "Gu Long's self-esteem is very strong.

Even if it is a docile species like the Qilin, if you run in front of it and release your aura, it will definitely summon lightning to strike you. "

Gordon exhaled heavily.

"I know all this, but I can't think of a better way at the moment, so let's give it a try."

Az gave a thumbs up and said, "I understand you. What you need is the feeling of waiting for the big fish to bite the bait. Whether the fish bites the bait or not, whether you can catch it or not, is not important!"

"So we're not going fishing?" Ted scratched his scarred bald head, looking a little regretful. "What a shame. I really like fishing."

Gordon was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

So, when I was in Minagard City and just met Ted and the others, Ted took me to the Metabe Wet Forest to fish.

At that time, we hunted shield crabs, dug crab roe, grilled meat and fish, and ate to our heart's content. We were having a lot of fun.

It's been more than ten years now, and I still miss it a little.

Thinking of this, Gordon couldn't help but smile.

The half-joking thought from before also popped up again, "Fishing! Why not? We plan to go over there by boat anyway, so we can fish for a few days on the way.

As for my spiritual practice, I can't find a suitable opportunity this time, I'll find a way later.

The Coral Plateau is rich in resources. When we get there, we can look for clues about the glowing monsters while eating and drinking. It's like a vacation, just relax!"

After exchanging a glance with Ted and Az, the three of them grinned at the same time and laughed.

They picked up their glasses and clinked them together.

"Vacation!"

"fishing!"

“Have fun!”

Alva was a beat slow to react, but he quickly raised his smaller wine glass and joined the hunters in clinking glasses.

Even Pork Chop got excited. He held up the fish bone in his paw. "I'll prepare more seasonings this time, meow! Watch me show off my skills, meow!"

The more they talked, the more excited they became. Even they themselves hadn't expected that they would burst out with such enthusiasm when it came to "playing".

Just talking about the "entertainment" activities lasted until midnight.

Fortunately, they did not completely lose their minds.

Before everyone went home, Gordon, who was half drunk, did not forget to remind Ted, "The target of our investigation this time may be able to manipulate water to discharge electricity, especially electricity!

"Hiccup——, your Explosive Scale Dragon armor is not suitable for you. Remember to get an electric-resistant protective stone or something. Don't forget!"

Ted, who was also drunk and had a red face, slammed the table hard, "See, you look down on me, don't you? How, how could it be that I am such an awesome vanguard, but I only have one set of Explosive Scale Dragon?!
This time, let me show you my Guild Cross Alpha!
Whatever you want, you can have it! "

Ps.
　It has been mentioned before, but everyone may forget that Ted is about ten years older than Gordon, and Az is about five or six years older than Gordon. Gordon is almost thirty years old now, so the two are almost forty and thirty-four or thirty-five respectively.

　　As well as the attributes of the guild Cross Alpha, Thunder, Ice, Fire, Water, Dragon, each with level 2 resistance, as well as Spirit Blessing, Escape from Death, Preparation, Flying Swallow, Unyielding, Strong Luck, highlighting everything
　　I don't think anyone would use this in the game, but it might be useful in real life.
　　There are exactly five first-level slots, and one of the five resistance beads is inserted in each. The resistance is +20, and 5x10 defense is stacked. Then get an iron wall stone or something. It's a turtle.
