Chapter 19: The Fafnir Jungle
A true high-level hunter only thinks that this is a difficult hurdle when hunting powerful wyvern or beast dragon monsters, not a high mountain that cannot be climbed, but looking at Loki's current strength, when he really observed the dragon, he knew that he had no chance of success at all.

So Loki wants to become stronger, this is for himself and to protect Li Hong. The purpose of his existence is to protect the owners of the system, but now he can't even do that. It's all because I'm too weak. ’
――――――――
After the hunter team went up the mountain, the village of Bokai resumed its previous operations, with the woodcutter chopping wood, Hans crafting weapons, Anna waiting for the hunters at the hunter's tavern, and the three hunters training themselves and doing tasks.
Because there were people on the snowy mountain on a mission, Loki and Garina did not run into the snowy mountain, and Li Hong thought that he would not let them pass. Li Hong looked beyond the snow-capped mountains, and spread out the map he had picked up earlier, the snow-capped mountains only occupied one-third of the map, and one-third were woods in the southwest of the village, well, or arguably, the Fafnir Jungle.
The name of Fafnia Mirin is more proven, this place was not originally called Fafnir, but there were traces of several ancient dragons here, and it was changed to its current name by the scholars of the kingdom. However, now, there are very few traces of the ancient dragon monsters, and this place is also occupied by other monsters. The village of Pokai is close to the edge of the Fafnir Jungle, and it has a not very harsh living environment, and the monsters that survive in such an environment are not too fierce. This is the reason why Li Hongxin let Loki and Garina enter the exploration.
Because Li Hong released an exploration mission, it doesn't matter if there is no task reward, there is an unwritten rule on this, and many villages do the same, Li Hong has no money on him now, and Li Hong, the foot merchant he sent out, doesn't know when he will come back. However, the quest is not counted in the hunter's pass, which makes Karina complain for this reason, but in the end she goes with Loki.
Li Hong was not idle. Hans built a few pickaxes, and Li Hong began to mine stones in the barren ridge south of the village, and according to the development of the game, the next stage of the wooden house was the stone house, which required a lot of stones, and Li Hong had to prepare for the future now.
Of course, mining stones will not only be stones, the resources of this world are relatively rich, in addition to the stones in one day, Li Hong also harvested a bunch of iron ore, a small amount of chaffinite and whetstone, not only that, but even the rarer dragon stone Li Hong also mined a few pieces. Li Hong took this large pile of ore back to Hans, and Hans's eyes lit up, for these are the real treasures of the craftsman.
However, now there is a headache for Li Hong, Hans has created a lot of equipment in a month, except for Li Hong's equipment, the rest are equivalent to surplus, these are all money, but there are not many hunters passing by in Bokai Village now, and the hunters who pass by have their own weapons and armor, and they don't need to buy them in Bokai Village at all.
The amount of equipment that has accumulated is not much, and it is hanging on the wall of the blacksmith shop for the time being, but it will definitely accumulate more and more in the future, and the area of the blacksmith shop is so large. There's no sales channel.
――――――――
At dinner, Li Hong talked about this trouble, and the old woman didn't seem to care very much, and seemed to have a solution.
"Young Master Thor, have you forgotten that there is a huge family behind you?" The old woman didn't say that Li Hong really forgot about it, but so what, he was not very popular in this family, the old woman continued, "Although there are not many people who support Young Master Thor, it is not completely absent, but you are also the eldest young master, plus the connections that Madame has accumulated before, there is no problem at all to solve your current predicament." ”
"The clan is training new hunters every year, and the clan's guards need to be armed. This is a large expense, and even a large family like the Gloria family is more or less a burden. The old woman continued, "Anyway, the family purchases weapons and equipment every year, and it is better to use this money for our development than to throw the money to other people." The quality of the equipment built by Mr. Hans is also good, and I believe that those people in the family will make the right choice. ”
"But who shall I send to tell the people of my family? There are no extra manpower in the village for the time being. Li Hong had a bitter face, except for the old woman, everyone in Pokai Village had their own things to do, and there was time to go back and forth from here to East Dolma and wait for the family to discuss the relationship, and he would definitely not be able to come back for more than ten days. Li Hong doesn't have that much time for them to waste now.
"Master Thor, don't you have carrier pigeons that can send messages to the Hunters' Guild? Wouldn't it be okay to send a letter to the Hunter Guild and let it be handed over, and the Hunter Guild would not sell face to the Gloria family, which only required them to send someone to run errands for half a day. ”
"It's a good choice." Li Hong considered the pros and cons, for the time being, the benefits are still very cost-effective, the price of finished equipment is not one or two times more expensive than raw materials, and the development of Bokai Village can also be accelerated a lot with the money to sell equipment, but this kind of business will not work for a long time, and if Bokai Village wants to develop, it must have something that hunters need to sell in the village. Li Hong thought about it for a while, and asked the old woman to write a letter to the family to explain the situation, Li Hong himself didn't know who to talk to, and it wasn't dark to let Li Hong write a letter.
The issue of the sale of weapons and equipment was temporarily resolved, and Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief. The development speed of Bokai Village is much faster than that of other villages, he is a person with a lord system, if it is not faster than other villages, then Li Hong can jump off the building, but this speed is slow enough for Li Hong. But Li Hong has no choice, there is no one available.
Under the careful work of the woodcutter and the daily chopping of wood, many empty houses have been built in simple houses, but it is strange and scary that there are rows of empty houses that are not inhabited. Now Li Hong has not built another house for the time being, and most of the originally divided material storage place is occupied by firewood, which can be used for a long time just to heat the fire. Li Hong asked the woodcutter to rest properly for a day or two, maybe he couldn't be idle, and followed Li Hong to quarry.
"Village Chief, why don't I plant some trees on the other side of the two fields you have cultivated. I saw a lot of saplings on the other side of the woods, and these saplings are a waste if they are cut down, and it will affect the future expansion of the village, why don't I transplant them there? The woodcutter suggested to Li Hong.
