Chapter 273: An old friend, no, an NPC who provides information
Standing on the steps at the entrance of the village at the foot of Jieyun Mountain, Lieyan raised his hand to catch the maple leaves falling from the sky, his eyes full of nostalgia.
Back then, when he became a hunter, this was his first stop when traveling from Yanhuo Village.
Here, he met Master Yi, who had already obtained the title of "Sword Saint".
This master hunter debuted many years earlier than him and can be considered his predecessor.
Although he was surpassed by Yi later, the two met several times in the first few years after their debut. Yi even taught him some katana techniques and experience in dealing with Lanlong.
The two of them can be considered as both teachers and friends.
It has to be said that Lanlong really loves this precious land of Lingfeng. Even though he was driven away by Yi many years ago, he would always come back after a few years, and then be driven away by a new master hunter.
Over and over again, like a goalkeeper firmly guarding the threshold to mastery.
"Let's go to the guild together. If someone in the village falls into the water, there will definitely be someone there to post a commission."
Lieyan quickly put away his memories of the past and turned to speak to his wife and children beside him.
"Well, I haven't been to the hot springs in Jieyun Village for a long time. This time I can relax and take care of my skin."
Fiorina stretched and touched her face, looking very sad.
Sure enough, women of all ages love beauty. Even though Link is so old, she, as a mother, still has a heart that loves beauty.
Lieyan doesn't care much about hot springs.
The geomagnetic energy in the New World is extremely active. Even in the ice and snow of the ice field, hot springs can be dug out. He was tired of soaking in them long ago.
The investigation team even built a meeting house at the location of the hot spring to reward the hunters for their hard work.
To be honest, although there are a lot of useless people in the investigation team who basically do nothing, they are doing a good job in logistics.
Especially the chef there, who specializes in all kinds of food and has made dozens of different gourmet sets. Even after eating them for more than ten years, he has never gotten tired of them.
Sure enough, if you want to capture a hunter's heart, you must first capture his stomach.
"Anluka, slow down."
It seemed that it was time for dinner. An Lujia smelled the fragrance of food in the air and trotted into the village before Link and his companions.
Seeing this, Link had to quicken his pace and catch up.
Lin Ya walked in front of the mother blue bear and took it to the animal stable specially prepared for riders.
This dog is very smart and knows the rule that wild monsters cannot walk around in the village.
Link quickly caught up with Anluga who was running in front.
Because of her amnesia, this girl seemed like a new person, full of freshness and curiosity about everything in front of her.
As soon as she arrived at the human village, she was like a little bird that had just left its nest, staring here and there with her clear eyes wide open.
She would even reach out and grab the passing Felyne cat.
If the cat hadn't thought the girl looked silly, it would have been scared away long ago.
Soon, Anluga let go of the cat whose hair was pulled into a mess and turned his eyes away.
He was a candy vendor, carrying a straw target on his shoulder, with brightly colored candied haws stuck on it.
Link vaguely remembered him. A few months ago, when he came to Jieyun Village with Huoya and Shuiyun, he bought a few apple candies from his stall.
"Little girl, do you want some candied haws?"
The middle-aged man selling candied haws was smiling and greeting people warmly.
When he saw the little girl in front of him who was only slightly shorter than him (a little over 1.6 meters tall) with a pair of clear big eyes, staring at his candied haws with curiosity, he couldn't help but think of his daughter at home.
He took a string of candied haws from the target that was the same color as An Lujia's hair and put it in her hand.
This is a string of traditional hawthorn candied haws. An Lujia smelled the sweet aroma of honey and curiously stretched out her tongue to gently lick the sugar coating on the outside. The sweet taste immediately melted on her tongue, making her eyes light up.
"Is it tasty?"
The middle-aged man asked with a smile, his eyes full of kindness.
An Lujia nodded vigorously, with excitement shining in her eyes.
"It's delicious! Sweet and a little sour!"
As she said that, she couldn't wait to take a big bite, and the pit of the hawthorn almost knocked out her teeth. The sour wild hawthorn flesh made her look at Link with tears in her eyes.
Link had no choice but to gently rub her cheek.
"Don't eat it too hastily. Lick it first. Eat off the sugar coating and then eat the hawthorn flesh bit by bit. That's how it tastes."
As he spoke, Link fished out some change from his pocket and handed it to the vendor.
"Hmm."
An Lujia, whose teeth were hit, puffed up her cheeks slightly and looked a little angry.
She encountered the second biggest problem in her life: how to eat fruit with pits.
By the way, the first difficulty is how to easily eat the marrow in the bones.
If Link knew what she was thinking, he would probably tell her with a smile that she would face many difficulties in the future.
For example, how to eat fish with bones in big bites, and how to quickly peel off shrimp shells and eat the shrimp meat.
Fortunately, there are no mantis shrimps in this world, otherwise, with the mantis shrimps’ thorny shells that are so difficult to peel and their thin bodies, An Lujia would probably go berserk.
"see you next time."
After the candy seller sent Link and his companion away with a smile on his face, he immediately fell into deep thought and began to think about the relationship between the two.
Couples, brothers and sisters, sisters and brothers...
As an honest farmer, the boss probably would never have dreamed that the two were half-siblings...or even siblings.
-
"Oh! Oh! It's Link, long time no see."
Link was about to go to the guild with Anluka, but met an acquaintance on the way.
We can’t be considered acquaintances, after all, this is only the third time we’ve met.
They are Barus and Emily, two new hunters.
A few months later, the two hunters also replaced the Cloud Set that they had originally worn as novice equipment with new equipment.
Barus, the sledgehammer hunter, wore a slightly thick blue bear suit, while Emily was dressed in a dog dragon costume, and the weapons in her hands were also replaced with a one-handed sword and shield of corresponding materials.
"Yeah, it's been a while, a few months now. It seems like you've adapted well to life as a hunter."
Link responded with a smile, his eyes flicking to Barus's face, where there was a vague claw mark, which looked like it was scratched during a battle with a monster.
Compared to Link, who was born into a professional hunter family and had a smooth sailing life, it is not easy at all for civilian hunters to fight monsters, and getting injured is a very normal thing.
"Ah, haha, it's not bad, I just earn some hard-earned money."
Emily scratched her head with a silly smile on her face. Compared to when she was just starting out and was impatient, her temper has calmed down a lot now. It seems that fighting monsters has made her grow a lot.
Unlike Emily, Barus's focus was on Link's equipment.
Being a calm man who liked reading, he recognized that the equipment belonged to the five-star monster, Rock Piercing Demon Frog.
Although he had long guessed that Link's family was not simple, he was still a little depressed that in the past few months, the other party had grown from a hunter of the same level as the two of them to a five-star boss.
Well, he didn't know that Link was actually only four stars and had been at the one-star hunter stage for three years, otherwise he would never have had such emotions.
"By the way, there is something I want to ask you."
Thinking that both of them were locals from Jieyun Village, Link glanced at An Lujia who was standing beside him and silently licking the candied haws, and immediately told them her story.
"A person who fell into the water and lost his memory? No, there is no one who fell into the water in the village. And judging from her clothes and hair color, she doesn't look like someone from our area."
After listening to Link's words, Barus shook his head. He and Emily had just come out of the Hunter's Guild and he clearly remembered that there was no missing person notice on the bulletin board in the hall.
"Hiss, that's it, sorry for the trouble."
Looking at Anluga who was still heartless and only cared about eating, Link sighed slightly.
But then I thought, my parents really like raising this girl, and I thought this was a good thing.
I just don’t know if this girl’s relatives are worried.
"Hmm."
An Lujia looked at Link, who suddenly reached out to touch her head, with a little confusion. She tilted her head slightly, thought for a while, and handed the candied haws in her hand to his mouth.
This should have been a very heartwarming picture.
The premise is not to look at the bare bamboo stick.
(Question: Why does the ecological niche of the sickle-tailed dragon king be higher than that of the dog dragon king?)
(Answer: Because the value has expanded. The HP of the Dog Dragon King in 3G Village is 800, and when it comes to the Rising Kamaitachi Dragon King, it is 2000. I have tested it myself.)
(Seriously: No matter how you look at it, the Kamaitachi Dragon King is more than one level more handsome than the Dog Dragon King. Just the sickle tail looks dangerous. And this guy has many attack moves, which is much stronger than the Dog Dragon King who can only use the Iron Mountain Reverse.)
