Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1358 Lying Teaching
Julius's expression was a little solemn as he tasted the food.

Especially when he saw the main ingredient of the banquet, the greedy king tuna that was more than 250 cm long and rich in fat, his face tended to continue to darken.

This trend reached its peak when Gordon smiled and hooked his arm around his shoulder, saying that he had caught the fish himself (with a fishing net).

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Julius finally calmed down, but he became a little depressed.

I can't even fish as well as Gordon.
This actually makes Gordon feel a little confused. I treated you all to a delicious meal and you were all enjoying it, why are you so depressed?
Of course Julius didn't explain, he just made up an excuse that he was seasick.

Turning around, I met Nadia's teasing gaze.
After knowing that Master Campbell was coming, Pork Chop really went all out.

The Master is not only Gordon's master, but also his teacher.

It can be said that it was only after meeting Master Campbell and accepting his teachings and guidance that its path to bombing was truly on the right track.

Before that, it couldn't be considered a "bomb cat", at most it was a "cat that could throw bombs".

The high-density dragon-killing carbon, a special explosive that is far more powerful than conventional gunpowder, has opened the door to a new world for it and strengthened its determination to keep moving forward on the road of explosives until today.

When it comes to gratitude to Master Campbell, Pig Chop is no less grateful than Gordon.

When it heard that the teacher wanted to eat fish, the kitchen utensils in its hands were almost dancing out of shadows, and all kinds of seafood delicacies were served to the master one after another.

The weak master could only eat a few bites, but he still smiled as he watched Pork Chop busying himself.

The dinner lasted from noon till evening.

The show finally came to an end only when everyone's stomach was full.

I happened to meet a guild team that came from afar, and my master and senior brothers were among them. It was obviously not appropriate to continue my vacation.

After saying goodbye to Az and everyone in the fishing fleet, Gordon, Ansel and Pork Chop boarded the speedboat.

The anchor was furled, the sails were fully raised, and the slender and light clipper continued to accelerate and sailed at high speed towards the Star Stronghold.

Travel quickly all night.

The sun had just risen and the coastline of the New World was already in sight.

The information about the guild team's imminent arrival was sent out last night using a Peregrine Falcon. Upon receiving the message, the commander-in-chief personally led people to greet them at the dock.

Some procedures were necessary, and Gordon had little patience for them.

The commander-in-chief of the investigation team, Master Campbell representing the guild headquarters, and the professor representing the Ancient Dragon Observatory were meeting together. It would not be appropriate for him to stand with any of them.

After saying hello, he and Anshil slipped away first. They would always call them when there was something to discuss in the formal meeting later.

Nadia also caught up. This pen shooter was also a free-spirited person. The work of "honor guard" and "bodyguard" could be left to Julius alone.

What Gordon didn't expect was that Jessica, who represented the Sterling Chamber of Commerce, did not go with Master Campbell and the others, but instead followed them.

This lady is nearly 40 years old, but because of proper maintenance, she looks like she is in her early 30s and has a calm expression on her face.

Noticing Gordon's puzzled look, he just tilted his head and smiled without saying anything.

Ansel explained for her, "The Sterling Chamber of Commerce is quite large, but it is not official. She was not invited this time and came here on her own.

It would be annoying to stay in such an occasion. Who knows what they are going to talk about? It is better to leave on your own than to be driven away by the dark night. "

"I see." Gordon nodded in understanding. "I'll go home and say hello to Hayata first. I didn't even tell her about my sneaking out this time, which is a bit troublesome."

"There's no rush yet."

Anhil stopped him and said, “Hayata is probably with Gail and the others now. They like to have gatherings at my house, so why don’t you go to my house first?

As for sneaking out to fish, you can put it another way.

He said that he knew Master Campbell and his companions were about to arrive, so he set out in advance with the fishing fleet to greet them.

I just received it yesterday and rushed back with their ship."

Gordon was silent for two seconds, then clenched his fist and said, "Good idea!"

Jessica thought about it, shook her head and said, "This excuse has obvious loopholes. You didn't know that Master Cambey and Mr. Julius would arrive, let alone the time and place.

If this point is not made up, the lie will be easily exposed.

Then you will be in more trouble.”

".So, I'll just say I received a letter from Julius sent by falcon?" Gordon scratched his chin. "Just tell Julius later and ask him not to let it slip."

"No."

“This is not the right way.”

Anxiel and Jessica shook their heads together, each saying:
"It is a taboo to involve others in a lie. You should try to take the blame on yourself as much as possible to make up for it."

"Letters are too easy to decipher. It would be better to use 'analysis' instead."

"What is 'analysis'?" Gordon asked humbly.

"First, we know that the guild will send a support team.

By taking the time it takes the commander-in-chief to send the letter and the speed of the liaison ship, we can reasonably calculate the time when the support team will depart.

Regarding the route, the route between the New and Old Worlds is fixed and there is nothing much to say. The arrival time can also be estimated.

The communication ship used for sending letters cannot carry enough people, and the most suitable ship is the clipper ship used by the Chamber of Commerce. Based on this premise, a little calculation can give the answer.

In addition, support team members can also make guesses through reasonable analysis.

The number of guild leaders and high-end combatants who know about the "taboo" is limited, and after screening, Master Cambe and Julius are the most suitable candidates."

Gordon was a little dazed after hearing Ansher's long conversation.

Just as I was about to ask a question, I heard the brother and sister say in unison: "All of the above is nonsense."

"Ah?" Gordon was stunned again.

Jessica straightened her wrinkle-less collar and said, "Can't you hear me? These so-called 'analyses' are based on the results and the reverse process, which is actually not very tenable."

Ansir also nodded and said, "Without knowing the results, you may be able to deduce these, but it is only 'possible'.

If you analyze it in real life, you may be able to deduce other answers for each link.”

"But it's enough to fool the servants."

"Well, at least it all makes sense logically."

"Don't rush to explain anything unless she asks."

"Act as if it's a matter of course, be prepared mentally, and tell yourself subconsciously that these are the facts."

The capitalist siblings talked to each other and taught Gordon how to cheat on his wife.

"I got it. I'll try it later." Gordon rubbed his chin.

Natia looked at him sideways. She had a very good relationship with Hayata, but she didn't want the couple to have a falling out over a trivial matter. She was thinking about when to step forward and expose the truth.

A group of people came to Anshil's house.

Sure enough, Hayata was also here, chatting with Mrs. Sterling, while Gail held little Mutti tightly and nibbled her from time to time, as if she was her own daughter.

Seeing Nadia and Jessica, Hayata was stunned for two seconds. Mrs. Sterling, who was sitting in the rocking chair, jumped up with a scream, ran over and hugged her daughter whom she had not seen for several years.

Hayata also excitedly hugged Nadiya for a while, and then glared at Gordon fiercely with her eyebrows raised.

"You went out to sea without saying anything and disappeared for days? Did you at least leave a note?"

"No, there is a reason why we are in a hurry to go out to sea."

"What do you mean no? Maka told me that you and Az went fishing without Ted, and you even went to show off to him.

He is now lying on his sickbed, shouting all day that he wants to break up with you."

Gordon: "."

Hayata took a deep breath and calmed down his anger. "You just said there was a reason? What was it?"

".Nothing, just, uh, I was bored so I went out to play for a few days." Gordon covered his face.

"It's wise. The information has been leaked. You have lost the initiative and it's useless to say anything." Ansel patted his shoulder and whispered to comfort him.

Jessica also shrugged. "The lie was exposed before it even came out. If you continue to quibble, you'd be stupid."
