Chapter 202: The Ruins Plain is Not Flat
"Hey, Zoro, you look like you're recovering well."
The next day, Link came to the Hunter's Guild with a purse in his hand. Instead of rushing out to hunt, he went to visit Zoro who was lying in the ward.
At this time, Zoro's body was wrapped in gauze all over, and he looked very miserable.
The good news is that he woke up, and he is in good spirits, and he has no missing limbs.
"It's Link. Sorry to make you laugh."
Thinking about how he lost consciousness yesterday and had a sore butt when he woke up, Zoro couldn't help but put his hands over his buttocks and looked at Link with a strange look.
That's the look you give a gay.
"Why are you looking at me? We took the cat car back yesterday. My butt hurt so much from the shaking. What about you?"
Fortunately, Link was a smart man. Seeing Zoro's defensive posture, he thought for a moment and realized that Zoro was thinking wrongly. He explained casually, and made Zoro put his worries aside.
"Ah ha ha."
Hearing this, Zoro laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.
"Okay, this is for you. It contains the reward for this mission, as well as the money from selling the Black Eclipse Dragon materials."
Link didn't sit down. He threw the purse in his hand to Zoro, and without waiting for him to say anything, he turned and left.
"......Forehead."
Zoro looked down at the heavy purse in his hand and fell silent.
"Ah, never mind. It's a good thing after all."
Although he didn't know what happened after he fell into a coma, it was not a hunter's thing to reject the kindness of his companions. After thinking about it, Zoro finally accepted the money.
On the other side, Link went downstairs to the guild hall and accepted a commission regarding the giant monster bird from the dragon girl Konoha.
[Cleaning up the giant monster bird that flooded the Ruins Plain]
[Mission star rating: ★★★]
[Task Nature: Hunting]
[Mission location: Ruins Plain]
[Mission objective: Hunt 3 large monster birds or blue monster birds]
[Limited time: 30 days]
【Remuneration:】
[Client: A masked ninja who does not want to reveal his name]
[Task Description: Recently, the giant birds in the Ruins Plain have entered their breeding season. In order to maintain the ecology of the Ruins Plain, we should properly clean up some of the giant birds in heat. Of course, the blue birds are also OK.]
"...The person who issued the mission must be Instructor Ni Tai."
Thinking of the way the dragon girl looked at him when he accepted the commission, Link couldn't help but want to touch his forehead.
This kind of work, which requires a lot of work but pays little, was obviously left for himself by the instructor.
Normally, the commission for hunting a three-star monster is around 8000, but this was only given for hunting three big monster birds.
On average, 6000 each, almost the same as a two-star monster. It was obviously an internal commission issued by the guild, specifically designed to trick acquaintances like him.
"Forget it, forget it, just treat it as a family bucket."
Link shook his head, rolled up the order in his hand and put it away, found Chuchu where the luggage was piled, and set off for the post station with her.
When he arrived at the post station, Link found the front desk receptionist, rented a Marunori car, and paid the fare for the previous Marunori car.
Whenever this time came, he would miss the days when Matsutake was here.
With a dog around, he can save this expense.
"Really? You encountered a giant wild boar king that suddenly rushed out. Mr. Link is really unlucky."
After hearing about Link's experience, Caroline observed three seconds of silence for the murdered Marutori, and then took the money Link handed over.
The service staff who received Link was a girl whom Link had met a few times. Link only knew her name when he rented Marudori last time.
The first time Link and Master Shin came together, it was she who received the two of them and arranged for them to have two Blue Speed Dragon King riders, Giselle and Ariel.
"By the way, Mr. Link, did the hunter who came with you last time have any urgent business? In the early morning of this morning, he suddenly came over and asked for a Maru Bird car to go to the swamp. Did something happen?"
When she saw Link, Caroline suddenly remembered what happened in the morning and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
It was no wonder she asked this question. The senior hunter looked hurried and a little sneaky, and came knocking on the door so early in the morning. It was really suspicious.
Like an illegal hunter who goes out to poach.
"Uh... I don't know, maybe there's an urgent mission."
Link shook his head slightly at this.
Link did not reveal anything about the Black Eclipse Dragon, after all, it concerned an ancient dragon.
Although I don’t know what Master Zhen’s plans are, since he is acting secretly and alone, he must have his reasons.
"Yeah."
Seeing that Link didn't want to reveal anything, Caroline didn't ask any more questions.
Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.
After completing the formalities, Link and Chuchu got on the newly rented Marudori car and set off for the Ruins Plain.
—The dividing line of the journey—
After crossing endless golden grasslands, Link arrived at the Ruin Plains before dark.
Although it is called a plain, this hunting area is actually a huge ruins complex surrounding a mountain, with the remains of various buildings scattered everywhere.
It got its name simply because it is located on the endless golden grassland.
Those ancient buildings are all made of rocks, and even after thousands of years, they still stand tenaciously on the earth.
This also results in the place being full of rocks and steps of varying heights, which is very unfriendly to many melee hunters.
But this is a good place for Link.
He can now freely search for hidden vantage points and assassinate monsters in the dark.
"It's getting dark, let's find the camp first."
Link looked up at the sun that was about to set below the horizon.
In the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the endless grassland, illuminating the golden grassland with brilliant brilliance.
Taking out the map given by the guild, Link waved his whip and drove Marutori along a river towards the interior of the ruins.
The campsite location chosen by the guild was as clever as ever, and could be found simply by following the river upstream.
The camp is located in an abandoned ruin backed by a high valley where large monsters cannot enter.
At the same time, this is also the entrance to the ruins forest. The dense plants and vines cling to the buildings and grow wildly, interweaving into a complex vine network in the air, providing convenience for many monsters.
After finding the campsite, Link packed up briefly, caught a few fish from the nearby river, made a simple dinner, then entered the tent and prepared to rest.
Of course, the necessary vigilance would not be lacking. He and Chuchu took turns to keep watch and be responsible for the vigilance.
Although large monsters will not enter the camp, there are many strange monkeys and foxes living here.
There was once a rumor that a hunter had his weapons stolen by a strange monkey or fox while he was sleeping in the camp.
Therefore, many hunters hate this monster.
