Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter Chapter 231

Chapter 231 The Purpose of the Rich Merchants

The dragon-human man led Gordon and his party to an open-air restaurant near the counter of the assembly hall, and found a seat to sit down.

"This restaurant is not ordinary."

When he was seated, the man from the dragon tribe introduced with a smile: "'Xi Dinesia' is the name of this restaurant. We have traveled all over the world for many years, and there are not many restaurants that can compare to this restaurant."

"Looking forward to meow!"

Looking at the huge fish head on the grill at the entrance of the restaurant, the pork chop excitedly raised its little paw.

Gordon and Hayata, who had been eating dry food on the airship for a few days, were also hungry. They ordered a lot of dishes that looked very delicious, and they also ordered some local specialty cachaça.

While waiting with great anticipation for the food to be served, Gordon chatted with the Dragonborn man.

"Ah, this gentleman, haven't had time to ask for advice yet...?"

"Many people call me 'The Rich Merchant', you can call me 'Mr. Rich Merchant' like Anshir, or 'Uncle Rich Merchant' like the little girl Fengying.

I am indeed at this age, hahaha! "The wealthy businessman folded his hands in his wide sleeves and smiled heartily.

"Is Mr. Hao Shang a businessman?"

Hayata glanced curiously at the large sword with a black sheath behind the merchant.

As a Taidao user herself, she can naturally see that this is not a weapon that ordinary people can use, but a typical hunting sword.

"Yes, I have a few trading ships, and I usually run around the mainland to do some business." The wealthy businessman said quite amazing words casually.

"Mr. Haoshang used to be a hunter, right?" Gordon asked the question, but his tone was quite affirmative.

"Oh? Brother Gordon, why do you think so, because I have a big sword behind me?"

"And the emblem of the Hunter's Guild on your cuff." Gordon said with a smile: "Ordinary people would not use this pattern as a decoration."

"The eyes are sharp!"

The wealthy businessman glanced at his cuff, smiled vaguely, "It's all happened many years ago, don't mention it, don't mention it."

Gordon didn't intend to continue to ask questions, and the two continued to chatter.

At this time, the meals they ordered were delivered one after another.

Gordon picked up a string of seemingly ordinary grilled small fish, tasted it, "Oh! This taste, this aroma!"

"That's great, isn't it!"

The wealthy merchant smiled and said: "Tangia Port is a trading port, and it is close to a desert country rich in spices, so you can find all kinds of spices here.

This restaurant is particularly good at using a variety of spices for barbecue, which is not available in other places. "

Delicious food can always whet one's appetite. The pork chop buried his head directly in the plate, and Hayata chewed much faster.

After the amount of wine and meat on the table dwindled, the few people who were getting full started talking again.

"If I'm not mistaken, what Ms. Hayata is carrying on her back is the famous sword 'Flying Dragon Sword [Aoi]'. She is really powerful at such a young age."

Hayata put down his wine glass and showed a reserved smile.

You can't reply directly to others. If you hunt a female fire dragon, you'll have everything, right?

The wealthy merchant changed the subject at this time, "Speaking of which, does Miss Hayata have a water-attribute Taidao?"

Hayata was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't quite understand what the other party meant by asking this question, and he didn't know how to answer the question.

Gordon took over the conversation at this time, "Does the senior businessman have any suggestions?"

"Well, I won't play tricks."

Haoshang untied the black sword from behind, laid it flat on the dining table, stretched out his palm and pointed, "Take a look at how this sword looks."

Gordon and Hayatta immediately became vigilant.

Except for a few novice-level weapons, weapon trading is strictly prohibited by the guild. Once someone is caught violating the prohibition, the suspension of hunting qualifications is considered light.

Realizing that the two had misunderstood, the wealthy businessman waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I am not planning to sell you the knife, I will not do illegal things.

This knife is called 'Nanman Sword [Shark Break]'. It is a style from my hometown - Shiguo. The mainland can't make it, but well, I have its manufacturing blueprint.

If you guys can do me a favor, I will give you the blueprints. In this way, as long as you prepare all the materials, you can make the Nanban knife in any workshop. "

In order to avoid further misunderstanding, the wealthy businessman stated his purpose in one breath.

Gordon is still a little wary. Although the wealthy businessman said that he had a relationship with Anshir and the others, this did not make him completely trust the other party.

After pondering for a moment, he said seriously: "Before I promise you, I still have two questions to ask, I hope you can answer them."

"That's natural." The wealthy businessman put his hands into his sleeves again.

Gordon picked up the Nanman knife, drew it out of its sheath, inspected the blade, and handed the knife to Hayata.

After the two roughly confirmed the grade of this knife, Gordon said: "This knife is of a very high grade, and it has completely reached the level of high-level equipment.

Can it be built directly, or does it need to be strengthened to reach this level, and what materials are required. "

The wealthy businessman didn't mind Gordon's inquisitive questions at all. On the contrary, he quite appreciated this kind of caution and was willing to put everything on the table for discussion.

"It needs to be strengthened once. Using some simple materials that can be obtained around here, you can create the 'Nanban Sword', the level of the Nanban Sword, um, it's about the same as the 'Flying Dragon Sword [Cui]'.

Using the materials of the Yan Gelong subspecies, it can be strengthened into a "Nanman Sword [Shark Break]", which can truly reach the upper level. Of course, the drawings I gave you also include subsequent strengthening methods. "

Gordon nodded.

He is not surprised by the answer of the wealthy merchant. If it is easy to create a high-level weapon, it will make him suspicious.

"In addition to the weapon blueprint itself, I also want to ask, why do you want to find the two of us? There are not so few four-star and five-star hunters in Tangia Port, right?"

Hearing this, the wealthy businessman said with a smile: "Well, let's answer this question together with 'what do I want you to do'.

The reason is actually very simple. Of course there are four-star and five-star hunters in Tangia Port, but five-star hunters who have encountered ancient dragons are really too rare. "

Gordon: "."

This guy, he doesn't want to call himself a cologne, does he?

"Jean Moran (Feng Shanlong), have you heard of this name?"

Gordon raised his eyebrows, "Feng Shanlong?"

"That's right, it's the Fengshan dragon, a very small number of ancient dragon species can be known to lower-level hunters, and even common people in certain areas have universal recognition.

A symbol of courage and prosperity, the "dragon of abundance" that nourishes the desert. "

"So that's how it is. It's just autumn, and the monsoon in the desert is coming soon. Is it the Harvest Festival of Loklark?"

Gordon roughly guessed the opponent's purpose.

"You want us to participate in Locklark's annual 'Great Desert Feast', and you want to get that special ore?"

Speaking of this, Gordon frowned.

"But if it's for ore, as a businessman, you can just buy it directly. Even if we participate in the 'Great Banquet', it is impossible to bring you back too much quantity."

The wealthy businessman clapped his hands and smiled, "Brother Gordon, you have a wide range of knowledge and a quick mind. That's right, my ultimate goal is the Fengshan Dragon Ore.

It's just that I don't need you to bring me ore back, all you need to do is participate in the feast. "

Gordon didn't understand, "With all due respect, if you just participate in the 'dinner feast', what good will it do you?"

"I heard that Brother Gordon, you faced Gu Long head-on, but you were able to return unscathed. Coupled with the fact that you were promoted to five-star at a young age, your strength is naturally beyond doubt.

If you can participate, this 'Great Banquet' will surely proceed more smoothly. "

The tycoon folded his arms and smiled boldly, "I don't need you to bring back the ore because I plan to buy all the ore produced by the 'Great Feast' this year.

If you can participate, the sand fleet will have a big harvest, and the amount of ore I can buy will be more? "

Ps.

Here is a hidden setting. It is stated in the setting book that the wealthy merchant (the captain of the trading ship) was born in "Shi Country" and has a very high status in Shi Country.

This country is not marked on the map, but judging by the clothing style, it should be a country in the Western Continent. (all Japanese style)

At the same time, the equipment made of Mineyama Dragon materials (obviously Japanese-style armor style) was once equipped by a certain country's army. This should refer to the Shiki country.

I won't mention the country, the war, etc., but it is reasonable for the rich merchants to buy a large amount of ore.
