hunt and eat

A young man who looked older pulled his two teammates, a man and a woman, over.

"My name is Nia, he is Guta, and we are all from Pacini Island." Nia responded politely.

"Pacini Island?" The leading young man blinked his eyes in confusion. He wanted to pretend to have heard it, but seeing Nia's sincerity, he finally told the truth.

"I haven't heard of the island, but we are about the same. I am Sanji, and they are my younger siblings, Will and Ji Lala. We are both from Chisia Island."

It is also an island I have never heard of.

But this is not surprising, surrounding the mainland where a large number of humans live, there are tens of thousands of islands, large or small, radiating around.

Except for a few particularly famous ones, not many people can remember the name of the small island like Nia and the others.

"How long did it take you on the road?" The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and Nia decided to break the silence on her own initiative.

"Three days, how about you?" Sangji breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he is not the kind of difficult person to get along with.

"Seven days." Guta spoke for the first time, looking curiously at the strange weapons behind the three of them.

It was a weapon similar to a long knife. For some reason, the blade was surrounded by a huge metal circle.

"Ah, is this the first time you two have met?"

Noticing Guta's gaze, Sanji took off the weapon behind his back with a smile, and introduced: "This is a bug stick, which is the main hunting method on the islands in our area."

"When hunting, we will release the hunting insects raised in the insect stick to assist us in the battle."

Baby flow?

The image of the summoner from the online game in the previous life popped into Guta's mind, and then he shook his head.

Not the same, hunting insects seems to be just an auxiliary for them.

"It's amazing." Nia exclaimed, and then took out a map.

The location of some of Paley's important facilities is marked on it.

"We're going to the Hunter's Guild to register and report, together?" Nia asked, taking out two chapters of animal skins stamped with special marks from her pocket.

This is the certificate issued by Layton to the two of them representing the passing of the assessment, and they can register new hunters in cities with hunter guilds.

Sanji nodded overjoyed.

The assessment ship they took was not so enthusiastic. After sending them here, they patted their asses and left.

If they hadn't met Niya and Guta, they might have stayed here for a long time before they could pluck up the courage to start asking for directions.

……

Walking up the endless steps, the row upon row of stalls along the way and the dazzling array of goods piled up everywhere dazzled the bumpkins from overseas islands.

"Hey Guta, that hairpin is so pretty."

"Brother, brother, look at that necklace, it will glow!"

The only two girls in the group chatted chatteringly, stopping for a while every time they passed a booth.

"Hey~" Guta sighed and clapped his hands.

"Ladies, do I need to remind you? We don't have any money right now, not even a Z coin."

Guta's words brought everyone back to reality.

Sangji, who was on the side, retracted his hand from the hunting knife at a booth with some embarrassment.

So you forgot about this too?

Guta looked at him with a dark face.

Z coin is a special currency issued by the Hunter Guild on the mainland, and it was born to promote commercial transactions and item circulation between continents.It is said that it is polished from the bones and scales of dragon species, and has a relatively weak elemental reaction, and it is impossible for ordinary people to imitate it.

But for people like Nia who originally lived on the island, this currency has little meaning.

After all, there are only so few people on their island, and there are no visitors from outside the island, and there is no chance to use currency at all.

Most of the time, it still relies on the traditional trading method of barter.

Because of this, a group of people can't spell a complete Z coin together.

"Don't worry, we will have money after we register with the Hunter's Guild." Nia comforted Ji Lala, who was a little frustrated beside her, "After the new hunters in the islands report, the union will issue a temporary subsidy of 200 Z coins. At least the short time for board and lodging is not a problem."

"Let's go, it's almost ahead." Looking at the map, Guta beckoned everyone to continue walking.

After walking up for about 10 minutes, with the sight suddenly clear, a half-timbered building with a height of 40 to [-] meters appeared in front of everyone on a rather large platform.

"It's so big, is this the Hunter's Guild?"

Nia couldn't help sighing as she looked at the plaque above her head that was more than ten meters wide with the four characters of Hunter's Guild written on it.

The door of the guild was open, but there was a large light-colored curtain hanging on the door, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

"It's just Paley's branch, let's go."

Guta shook his head, straightened the huge backpack on his back, and took the lead towards the door.

Opening the curtain like silk and satin, all kinds of noisy voices came head-on.

As far as the eye can see, it is a spacious hall like a football field, which is full of hunters in different clothes, as well as kanban girls and service staff who are constantly running around.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, there was order.

He glanced around and found that the most lively places were nothing more than two places.

Huge bulletin boards covered with various lists, and long queues at the union reception.

"Hi, may I ask if the new hunters of the islands are registered here?"

Guta stopped a kanban lady who had just finished sending out the order, lowered her head and asked awkwardly.

Hell, are all the kanban girls dressed so revealingly?

The big sister in front of her had chestnut curly hair pulled back, her shoulder-length loose hospitality clothes exposed a large area of ​​snow-white skin, coupled with her hip-covering denim shorts, Guta didn't know where to turn her eyes for a while.

"Hey, are you a newcomer?" The eldest sister stroked Guta's fluffy hair, and noticed that Nia beside her was looking at her with gritted teeth, and her pair of red phoenix eyes narrowed into beautiful arcs.

"Go to the empty counter over there. I happen to be free, so I can help you register." She pointed to an empty counter.

Everyone followed her with their heads down. Nia poked Guta secretly and said in a low voice, "Guta, where were you looking just now?"

Guta glanced at his mouth, scratched his chin, and looked aside guiltily.

The latter's reaction made Nia even more annoyed, she snorted coldly, and simply turned her head away to ignore him.

Chapter 20 Future Legendary Hunters

"I'm Lilian, the kanban lady of the Pale branch of the Hunter's Guild, with job number 751. I'm very happy to serve you."

After introducing herself as usual, Lilian took out a thick booklet from under the table and spread it out in front of the table.

Although her figure is very slender, this Kanban lady's movements are unexpectedly bold and unrestrained.

Several people thought so in their hearts and introduced themselves one after another.

"Ancient tower."

"Nia."

"Sangchi, this is Will and Gilala."

Lillian nodded, recorded briefly, and raised her head again.

"You guys, give me all the certificates for passing the assessment. I'll check it. If there is no problem, you can register directly." She explained patiently.

Everyone nodded and took out their vouchers.

Guta and Nia noticed that Sanji's assessment certificate seemed to be the animal skin of a kind of bird dragon, and the pink and tender leather characteristics were hard to be mistaken.

Combined with the fact that Layton gave them the fascia of the Frostwing Wind Drifter, it is not difficult to guess that the credentials of the so-called new hunters are all taken from the monsters they hunted for assessment.

"Well, the three of you are hunting big monster birds, right? The evaluation given by the hunters is...pass, pass, above average."

Lilian recorded the truth, and noticed that the three of them lowered their heads in embarrassment, and half-jokingly explained: "Don't think too much, it's good to pass the hunter assessment, sister, I am the one who was eliminated back then."

Hao Ran, the three of them, nodded and said yes.

"Come on, let me take a look at both of you." Lilian took Nia and Guta's assessment vouchers.

Then she froze.

After a while, she looked at the two of them resentfully: "Sorry, what kind of monster's skin is this? I didn't see it."

"The fascia of the frost-winged dragon." Guta replied.

"???"

Lillian blinked her eyelashes in confusion, and looked back and forth between the two of them.

"You're not kidding me, are you? We're talking about the wind dragon of the superior flying dragon species."

"Yes, something happened during the assessment. The examiner at that time asked us to participate in the crusade." Nia turned over her certificate and showed Lilian the part with words.

"Which examiner is so irresponsible to let you participate in such a dangerous crusade." Lilian was a little angry, frowning and looking at the certificate.

She really felt that there was something wrong with Nia and the examiner of Guta, and she simply didn't take the new hunter's life seriously.

You must know that due to the lack of sufficient experience in fighting large monsters, new hunters have a high casualty rate in conventional hunting, let alone the crusade against the dangerous high-level flying dragon species such as Fengpiaolong.

"Let me see, Layton, the leader of the four-star hunting group... hiss~"

Lillian gasped.

Four-star hunting group?Big man!

Generally speaking, the Hunter Guild has always advocated the hunting mode of a small-scale elite team, and a team will not exceed four people at most.

But this is the general case.

In the process of crusade against higher-level monsters and even ancient dragons, the four-person team is obviously to deliver food, so the organized hunting group came into being.

From low-level to high-level, the hunting group is divided into five levels, that is, one star to five-star, but it is rumored that the legendary hunters of the ancient dragon investigation team have higher star levels.

Even so, the leader of the four-star hunting group is enough to be regarded as a big shot, and he belongs to the kind who doesn't need to salute when meeting the city lord in Pale.

After a moment of silence, she looked at Nia's evaluation.

"excellent"

Raising her head, Lilian carefully looked at Nia, and her gaze stayed for a moment on the somewhat conspicuous remodeled heavy crossbow "Frost Floating Rose" behind her, and completed a few notes.

Nodding to Nia, she continued to open the evidence of the ancient tower.

What came into view was a dense row of written records.

Lilian rubbed her eye sockets in amazement, and found that it was not an illusion.

Hell, this is the first time she has seen such a large record on the hunter certificate.

[Assessment Object: Ancient Pagoda]

[Performance: During the battle against the Frostwing Wind Dragon, pinning down, severely injuring and finally killing the target]

[Strength Rating: Senior Hunter]

[Examiner's evaluation: A "monster" with strength, reaction, and skill, a suspected gluttonous talent, with amazing potential.The trade union that accepts the registration application, please file the materials as soon as possible and send a copy to the Longli Institute and the headquarters office of the Gulong Investigation Team]

Lilian looked dull, switching her eyes back and forth between the certificate and Guta.

The young man in front of him...a senior hunter?

"Excuse me, is there something wrong?" Guta looked at the kanban lady in front of her for a long time with her own voucher, but she refused to sign and scratched her head in doubt.

Nia next to her understood what was going on, she just kept laughing aside.

"Ah, no, this little brother... no, Lord Hunter, can I trouble you to sign these forms? It's best to write down some of your own situation, the weapons you are good at, and your preferred team position ..." As she spoke, Lilian took out a thick stack of documents from the safe behind her, and hugged them all on the counter in one breath.

This exaggerated scene made everyone in the hall look over.

"Eh...they are not so troublesome, why do I have to write so many things here." Guta pointed to Niya and Sanji, with a speechless expression on his face.

"I'm really sorry..." Lilian bowed and explained seriously: "Because your Excellency has been included in the seed list of the Gulong Investigation Team, so the information that needs to be filled in will be much more than others...Of course, these things After you are promoted to a three-star hunter, you still have to fill it out, and now it can only be said that it is ahead of schedule."

Before Guta realized what the other party meant, the hunters who had gathered around had already surrounded him noisily.

"What? The seed list of the ancient dragon investigation team?"

"Where is it, this boy?"
