Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1354 What are you doing, meow!

"What you mean is that the guild headquarters not only did not ask us to withdraw to the Old Continent, but instead sent us more support?" Ansel asked in a confirming manner.

The commander-in-chief did not dwell on why Ansir had made these guesses in advance. He nodded and said, "Yes, the amount of information that can be transmitted through the fast track is limited."

The commander-in-chief showed the piece of letter paper, or rather the note, which was less than half the size of his palm, in his hand, "So the letter from the guild headquarters didn't go into too much detail.

It was just mentioned that a support team would arrive and they should be on their way now. More information will be known after they arrive."

Feng Ying poked An Xier curiously, "That fast track was established with the help of your Chamber of Commerce, right? Why is the amount of information that can be transmitted limited? Is your fee particularly high?"

"Your focus is always so strange."

Ansel sighed and briefly explained to her, “The distance between the old and new continents is too far, and neither airships nor peregrine falcons can make the leap.

Originally, communication between the two places could only rely on liaison ships, but even under the best circumstances, the round-trip time would be more than a month.

Jessica found a way to seek help from falconers in the Fenglong area to train a kind of puffin that could fly across the ocean, and there have been some results in the past two years.

By sending messages via seagulls, the communication time of urgent information can be shortened to about half a month.

However, the auks are small and can only carry the smallest of mailboxes. They are also prone to flying around and getting lost, so multiple auks must be released at the same time to ensure the message is delivered, so the content is kept as simple as possible."

"Oh!" Feng Ying suddenly realized, "So the words can't be written smaller?"

"Shut up."

Ignoring the popular science exchange, Gordon asked the commander-in-chief, "The letter didn't mention the configuration and number of support personnel?"

The commander-in-chief shook his head, "No, but the scale will definitely not be large, after all, the manpower over in the Old Continent is also very tight.

Moreover, the support team will definitely not be mainly composed of hunters. The investigation team is not short of hunters. The people who come are more likely to be scholars who know something about the "taboo".

I think so."

"Yeah." An Xier pushed away Feng Ying who had a lot of questions and said, "The commander-in-chief's guess makes sense.

Among the scholars in the investigation team, even the director of the Ecological Research Institute and the leader of the third group had very limited understanding of taboos.

And this information is obviously not suitable for communication through written letters.

If the Great Elder believes that the 'taboo' may appear in the New World, it would be most reasonable to send scholars and guild leaders who know the situation here."

After looking at Ansir approvingly, the commander-in-chief continued, "I sent someone to call you here just to tell you about this time so that you can be prepared.

There are many high-ranking hunters in the investigation team, but only your Silver Edge team has ever been involved in any 'taboo' related missions."

Gordon and the other two all looked at Feng Ying.

The mission to blow up the "Forbidden Skull" was indeed accomplished by the Silver Edge Team, but Feng Ying did not actually participate in that mission.
"What do those looks mean?!" Feng Ying pouted angrily, "I also participated in the Fenglong Ancient Pagoda mission!
The girl in ancient costume, wasn't that also related to 'taboo'? "

"It really is."

"Almost forgot."

Gordon Anhill looked at each other and shrugged.

The commander-in-chief chuckled, "That's roughly how it is. Any incident related to 'taboo' has the highest priority.

Anshil doesn't have to go back to Yuechen for the time being. The work there will be temporarily handled by the leader of the logistics team, so it won't be a big problem.

As for the date of departure for the northeastern sea, there is no need to be too anxious. Let's talk about it after your vacation is over. The guild supporters will almost arrive by then.

With relevant information, the direction of the investigation will be clearer and safer.

Before that, take a good rest and relax. Once the investigation officially begins, you won’t know when you’ll find free time. ”

The days off are leisurely and boring.

After getting used to high-intensity investigation operations, I suddenly relaxed and didn’t know what to do.

At the invitation of Xixi, Fengying took an airship to Yuechen, saying that she wanted to continue the special training for Xiaozi.

I don’t know what they will eventually train into.

Hayata focuses all her energy on her daughter.

The little guy is one year old and has started to babble and learn to walk.

The sight of her falling down with every step she took was very amusing, and Gordon liked to watch her fall. Sometimes, after she had taken two steady steps, he would poke her down with his fingers and then burst into barbell-like laughter.

After being discovered by Hayata, she tried to argue that she was training her to roll over, but of course she was severely punished.

After imposing a punishment of not allowing him to touch his daughter for a few days, Hayata left home angrily and went to find Evelyn and her husband with Muti in her arms.

Gordon couldn't be relied upon, so she hoped to learn more parenting experience from others.

As for Gale
Fu Fu was indeed well educated, lively and polite, but that was probably not her credit.

Gordon, who had nothing to do, originally planned to go to the training ground to vent his excess energy, but Az came to him and invited him to go fishing.

Gordon, who didn't have a great time last time, readily agreed, but he was not sure whether he would be given the cold shoulder by Hayata when he came back.

I'll talk to you when I get back.

He also called Anhil.

Anshil was not interested in such activities and did not want to go at first, but after hearing that Pork Chop and Fish Roe would be there, he joined in with interest.

They also visited Ted and expressed regret for his absence.

Ted's injury was serious this time and he has not yet recovered. He can only lie in bed. When he heard that they were going out to the sea to play, he immediately wanted to get out of bed.

The natural result was that he was pushed back onto the bed by the furious doctor.

In the end, he could only howl and watch the three people walk away with laughter.

Unlike the last time he went out to sea, Az did not borrow a small boat or anything, but directly took Gordon and the others to join the fishing fleet.

Now he doesn't have to steer the boat himself and sail it, he can still enjoy fishing.

Gordon originally had a glimmer of hope in his mind: "Maybe we can stop by the northeastern sea to have a look?" But the person in charge of the fishing fleet had apparently also gotten some information from the commander-in-chief.

After leaving the port, we turned directly and sailed towards the warm waters in the southwest of the continent.

There's no way to get through this time.
Since this trip was purely for vacation and there was no mission, Gordon did not even bring any protective gear or weapons, and boarded the ship wearing the standard leather armor of the Survey Corps.

Ansel was also in casual clothes, and like Gordon, he was unarmed, which was very rare.

His reason was very simple. Unless specially modified, ordinary heavy crossbows would not be able to exert their power in the sea. If he was really unlucky and encountered a monster attack, he would just leave it to Az.

In the sea, they are really no match for those water ghost-like sea hunters.

Compared to Gordon Anhill's light travel, Pork Chop brought a lot of bags and prepared a lot of things.

Gordon took a quick look and found that there were mostly ingredients, condiments, and kitchen utensils. It was obvious that they were preparing to show off their cooking skills, and he immediately burst into admiration.

Ansel also smiled and nodded at it.

Under the meaningful gazes of the two people, the hair on Pig Chop's body stood up.

"What are you doing, meow!"
