Fichte glared angrily in the direction where the barbecue was flying, and saw a pitch-black Eru cat lazily crossed at the waist, and his contemptuous little eyes carried unspeakable provocation.

"Yo~ Fichte has arrived successfully, congratulations! Come, try the thigh meat that Lord Saldin gave you! ”

Fichte only felt the "abrupt" jump of his temples, and he estimated that he could reach out and touch the green tendons of the word "#".

No, this guy has only been arrogant for half a day without a lesson, and he must take a day to show him why the night is black!

Take three steps and make two steps, pick up Sardin, who has not yet reacted, and start the "cat hair removal" plan.

At this moment, the person at the table in front of him who was gently drinking broth suddenly raised his face and greeted him softly.

"Alright Saltin, stop making trouble······ Long time no see, my partner. ”

Fichte froze.

"Ahaha! I didn't expect Fichte, Uncle Ben is back! The man stood up, and was a man of nine feet long, half a head taller than Fichte.

"Hey, hey, hey, give me some face! Uncle Ben finally pretended to be literary and artistic, and the old friend who had been away for a long time couldn't give Uncle Ben a warm hug? With his big hand that can strangle the herbivorous dragon, the big man of Angzang gave Fichte a "man's friendship", "How's it, are you so moved that you are about to cry?" ”

Fichte looked at the big man's right leg, which was only supported by a steel prosthetic, gently rubbed his sour nose, and replied in a muffled voice, "Let go of your fart." ”

"Hahaha......"

Saldin lay lazily on the round table, his black paws clutching a skewer of roast meat, eating a bite after bite. One of the two big men in front of him is enthusiastic, and the other is silent, if you want to say that there is no story, even the cat doesn't believe it.

Fichte sat down with the tower-like man, and an Elu cat served him a "hunter's set" of the day.

Fichte lifted the soup bowl and touched the other's wine glass lightly.

"Hey, old man, you're not giving Uncle Ben face! Come on, come on, change the wine, come on, do it! ”

"Don't make a fuss, Kuro, you know, I've sworn never to drink again, no matter what······" Fichte closed his eyes, and the big man named Kulo did not interrupt him, but put down the wine glass, and his eyes showed a look of remembrance, nostalgia, sadness, and ······ Relief.

"You still can't put it down."

"I ······ Not to mention this, how have you been doing all these years? ”

"Uncle Ben has been terrible all these years!" Kuro raised his head and took a sip of wine, laughing, "Five years!" Five years! Do you know how Uncle Ben has spent the past five years?! Uncle Ben studied ecology, biology, and kingdom history for five years!! Are you saying it's all something that people learn?! I can see that Uncle Ben is one head and two big! ”

"It's really not like you're going to learn this thing." Fichte's eyebrows drew a knowing smile, "But you're not returning from school, congratulations." ”

"No, I don't see who Uncle Ben is. Genius, it's a person like Uncle Ben! Heaven does not give birth to my Kuluo, and the scholar world is like a long night! Kuro patted the rest of his thigh and laughed, "In order to fight side by side with you again, Uncle Ben has spent a lot of effort!" Impressed, right? Hahahahi! ”

Fichte looked at him with a blank face and laughed stupidly.

Then.

"Woo~-woo~——"

The hunters, who were talking, suddenly heard a desolate and mournful trumpet.

"It's time for the combat meeting, let's go." Barn greeted and led Alyssa and Kelly to the cable car, where the battle meeting took place in the circulation area, on the large bow deck.

Alyssa looked up at Fichte, who was chatting enthusiastically not far away, and got an encouraging look, and then excitedly followed her partner who was participating in the combat meeting.

"Hey, hey, old partner, is that your rumored little object? What a Fechte who eats young grass! ”

"Drinking can't stop your broken mouth, be careful that I cut you off······"

…

The leaders of the investigation base had been waiting around the meeting table for a long time, and the latecomer who arrived with Barn was the core member of the fifth investigation team, the recommendation team.

As the main force of the investigation of the fifth regiment, the number of people in the recommendation group was not large, and there were only two representatives participating in the combat meeting - Alyssa and Kelly - two complete newcomers.

As for the reason, I guess it is that a more beautiful picture can be made on a blank sheet of paper.

In today's investigation base, there are not many real cadres, except for Alyssa and Kelly, there are only nine members of the fifth group.

Standing at the head was the white-haired old man commander-in-chief, who looked around and found that everyone had already arrived, and then slowly spoke: "All the staff have arrived, then, now start the combat meeting." ”

"After a long voyage, the fifth group finally arrived in the New World. This is an important combat force, and it also means that this long-standing investigation can finally be completed. First of all, I invited them to attend in my capacity as a representative. ”

Holding the satchel and heavy books on her waist, Kelly said a little nervously: "I am a member of the fifth group, the rookie editor Kelly!" Please advise! Next to me is my partner hunter, Elisa! ”

"Hmm." The Commander-in-Chief nodded, and continued, "The people here are all important members of the investigation team, and the two of you remember it well. ”

Counting from Alyssa's left hand side to the right:

Captain of the supply squad: A black pearl beauty with jet-black hair.

Captain of the technical squad: A rickety old man with a white beard, white eyebrows and a red nose.

Study Team Leader: A tall, lanky male drake with a goatee, gold-rimmed glasses, and a bookish look.

Investigation squad leader: The young hunter with a muscle coil, Barn.

Commander-in-Chief: The person in charge of the investigation base.

The leader of the second regiment: the chief blacksmith of the machine shop, has a steel tong fixed to the forging material instead of a catapult on his left arm.

Swordsman: A mysterious man who wears a female fire dragon suit all day long and does not show his face.

Chef: A devil muscle Elu cat, the Commander-in-Chief's retinue, responsible for the cooking and management of the dining area.

Director of the Institute of Ecology: A white-bearded bald old dragon man with a white beard who shrinks because of old age, less than half a person tall, and holds a book all day long.

Alyssa carefully remembers their looks one by one, this is the seniors who will work together for a long time in the future, and they must get along well.

"Let's get to the point." The commander-in-chief had a serious face, "This time it's the Molten Mountain Dragon that is going to migrate, it is a giant ancient dragon with a volcano on its back. And the biggest purpose of our investigation team is to 'explore the truth about the migration of ancient dragons'. ”

The commander-in-chief looked at the director of the Ecological Research Institute who was flipping through the book on the side, and the old dragon man took over the conversation: "Every ten years or so, the ancient dragons will cross the sea with the goal of going to the New World, and this is the fifth time since we started our investigation······"

"The migration of ancient dragons can alter the ecosystems and topography of the places they pass through, and sometimes cause disasters······ Ancient dragons have been like this since time immemorial. ”

The Commander-in-Chief nodded with satisfaction, re-faced Alyssa and said, "Why on earth did they migrate to the New World?" This time, we must find out the truth! ”

"So, let's investigate!"

"In the future, we will trouble the hunters to investigate the small monsters and ensure the safety of the investigation base. The two of them can assign their own tasks with their companions in the fifth regiment. ”

"The first thing to investigate is the habitat area of the raptor, because of the arrival of the molten dragon, they have been a little manic recently, and the hunter can consider crusading according to the situation."

"Roger! We'll be sure to try to investigate! Kelly gestured to struggle, and Alyssa sat silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

The commander-in-chief turned his head to look at the rest of the people: "The others will do the same as usual, and vigorously assist the hunters." ”

"Then, the first goal of the fifth regiment is to adapt to the style of doing things here, so you should ask the leader of the investigation squad for help for the time being."

Barn waved to the two men, as if to say hello.

"Alright, Hunter, I'm looking forward to your next performance, the people recommended by the guild, I hope you can be like that banner and help the investigation team." The commander-in-chief clasped his hands on his chest, and his eyes drifted to the flag of the investigation team fluttering in the wind at the top of the stronghold, "Then, the meeting is over, disband!" ”

…

At the same time as the combat meeting was underway, Fichte, Russell, and other "idle people" were gathering in the second-class cabin of the cabin, and after selecting the weapons they had in the equipment box in their room, they gathered in the room assigned to Alyssa and Kelly, waiting for the "delegates" to come back and tell them about the content of the meeting.

"Hey, old man, you're not going to have a problem, are you? How could you think of such a girly thing as playing with a sword?! Even if you don't need a knife, you have to choose a domineering one! ”

Kuro Splitter knocked Fichte's one-handed sword and small round shield down, and with a flick of his hand, smashed the heavy ballista folded on his back into his arms.

"You can't hold it at all, it's not for you! Let's try Uncle Ben's 'human cannon', I guarantee you are refreshed! ”

Fichte hurriedly picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground and glared at Kurlo, although what he said was true, he Fichte was not someone who would give up easily.

There is really no problem with the Katashou Sword in the Old World, it is lightweight, and the sharpness is passable, but since it arrived in the New World, it has only encountered a common beast dragon species, and its shortcomings in lethality and defense are immediately exposed!

Fichte's own fighting style is not biased towards the low-lethality weapon of the Katamate sword, but rather the large-open, fast, and flexible lethal weapon of the Taidao is more in line with his fighting style.

In the past, in their four-person team, he had always been the main force with the Taidao; Saldin's flank harassment distracts the monster; Kuro is controlled and remotely output with special ammunition in the rear; And the figure who wielded the Katahand sword......

……

"The core of hunting is to use everything at your disposal to expand your advantage. Each of us is too weak for monsters, and a single blow from a powerful monster can leave us seriously injured and dying, and our strength can't even hurt them. ”

"That's why we need armor to protect our bodies, and weapons to break through the monster's defenses."

"And weapons and armor are not enough! We need something more. ”

"The hunters' old-timers have found many incredible things in the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom."

"Scholars have invented many useful applications of knowledge by translating the documents of the ancient kingdoms. For example, the cultivation of 'qi', a method of developing the body, allows hunters to discover their own talents through continuous hunting, so as to condense the 'qi' in the body as their own unique skill for better hunting. ”

"Another example is the forging method that uses the materials on the monster's body, equipment enhancement, and derivation in different directions."

"And the magical alchemy of refining 'qi' into 'talisman stones'······"

"All of this has greatly improved the hunters' ability to hunt."

"But boy, you have to remember that a truly powerful hunter always relies on knowledge. A veteran hunter can use the power of the environment to hunt a prey that is a hundred times stronger than him without much effort, and safety is the core of the hunt! ”

"Remember, only alive can you hunt, and a living hunter is a qualified hunter."

"Do you know why I don't use other weapons, but I love Katakure swords?"

"Use your brain, stinky boy······"

“······”

The old fellow's smile on his beard seemed to be yesterday, but Fichte no longer had the courage to raise his sword. His sword became a drag on the old fellow, and he could have escaped······

"Hey, old man, are you alright?" Kuro stood aside and gently scooped up a cold-lit iron sword.

Fichte glanced at it, shook his head and did not speak.

The air suddenly fell silent, and a rush of footsteps rang out from outside the hut.

Before he could see the figure, Kelly's cheerful voice was already heard.

"Good news, everyone! Our first mission to the New World is here~! ”
