14. Processing house
Sardin was awakened by a sharp ache all over his body.
The pain began in his chest and abdomen, and from the inside out, it seemed to swell into his stomach, as if a steel balloon had been stuffed into his stomach, and it continued to expand with his breathing, as if it was about to crush the organs in his body.
The moment he felt like his entire body was going to be torn apart, he woke up.
When Sardin opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Fichte's sad eyes and haggard, dirty hairstyle.
Seeing that Elu on the bed opened Carslan's big eyes, Fichte couldn't help but be overjoyed.
But the first sentence of Sardin's mouth made his face half darken: "Yo, it turns out that Fechte is so worried about his father's safety, come on, come on, Dad will give you a big reward!" ”
"Get out!"
This guy is really dizzy and cute.
Fichte forced the word "#" from all over his body, and finally did not knock his fist on his skull.
When he's healed, let's bad him again.
"You have a good rest first, and I'll go out and inform them." Fichte threw Saldin a "rat tail" expression and slammed the door shut.
Saldin couldn't help but shudder, he just seemed to be dead again?
In the second-class cabin, several acquaintances surrounded Saldin and praised him for being an excellent attendant; The white cat Nila chirped and became a little fan girl, asking how she felt in the face of the brute-jawed dragon.
Fichte and Kuro clasped their hands to their chests and stared at Saldin, who was lying on the bed with a smug expression.
"You think he should be lying down all the time, right?"
"Indeed, this guy is happier in bed."
"Let's do it when they get out."
"Good ......"
Saldin, who was enjoying the top-notch service, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
"Salding, what do you think this is? Fichte's predecessors left something for you! He said it would be for you to make up for it! Fichte's senpai really cares about you. Alyssa pulled out a thick, long, strangely shaped rod wrapped in dead leaves from behind her, and said enviously.
"Ahaha, yes, it's really worthy of my partner for many years......" Saldin took the stick, couldn't wait to untie the dead leaves, and rewrapped it the moment the stick's true face was revealed, with an inexplicable lewd expression on the cat's face.
"Eh, what's the gift?"
"Emmmm, a secret between men, women should not know."
"Hey, don't talk about it."
“......”
Saldin, who was still from his injuries, needed more rest, and after the doctors made sure they were out of danger, they drove the others outside. It is more appropriate to take care of the wounded to professional personnel.
As soon as he stepped out of the second-class hut area, he saw Barn walking towards everyone.
"Is Saldine alright?"
"Thanks to your timely arrival and timely delivery, we are out of danger now." Fichte nodded at him.
"That's good. By the way, the Commander-in-Chief told you to report back to him when you're done, and he's waiting for you on the bow deck meeting area. ”
"Got it, senior!" With an energetic smile, Kelly pulled Alyssa and her attendant Nila the cat towards the meeting area.
The three men looked at each other and nodded, talking as they walked side by side.
"Kuro, the processing house helped you fix the ballista, and by the way, I added some materials for you, you can go to the training area and try it later."
"Oh Huo~ Uncle Ben has been looking forward to it! Which of the New World's forging techniques is stronger or weaker than the Old World? ”
"Try it yourself, won't you? Fichte, it's unbelievable that you've hunted a prime-like brute-jawed dragon alone, you're strong! ”
"That's it. Besides, it wasn't me who killed the Jaw-Jawed Dragon, it was the King of the Sky. ”
"Haha, don't be modest, in the entire stronghold, the hunters who can challenge those two big guys head-on are only a handful, and you are already very strong. By the way, the processing house used the materials you brought back to create a set of Jaw Dragon armor for you, and I'll take you to try it later. ”
"That couldn't be better."
It is said that the forging technology of the New World is very good, and the equipment forged according to the materials of different monsters will not only improve the defensive performance and attribute resistance a lot, but also have the skill effects derived from different monster characteristics.
Several people soon arrived at the meeting area.
Because it was not operational meeting time, the meeting area in peacetime consisted only of the commander-in-chief and his two assistants.
Oh yes, and there's an old hunter who always wears full-body armor and is known as the "Master of Swordsmanship".
It is said that the material used to make the armor of the master's body is completely taken from a super giant female fire dragon, and the sword in his hand is also a precious material on the female fire dragon's body, forged with various metals, sharp and strong, and with the poison of the female fire dragon.
Legend has it that he once fought against the ancient dragon alone in the Old World, and his strength was unfathomable!
Fichte couldn't help but look at the hunter who was sitting in the corner, motionless and seemingly meditating with his eyes closed, and compared himself to the other.
But in the end, he found that he was far inferior to the old man in front of him in terms of experience, experience and fame, only in terms of age, he was much younger than the other party.
"You're all here, so let's all report on your situation." There was still the large map on the table in front of the commander-in-chief, and it was vaguely recognizable that the piece in the southwest corner of the map was the Ancient Tree Forest.
Kelly had already put together all the information submitted by the other hunters when she arrived.
Because the hunters of the fifth group first came to the New World and did not explore too deeply, the content collected by the investigation was mostly information about the vicinity of the investigation base, and no one except Fichte had observed the information of large monsters.
Kelly quickly reported the hunters' findings in a coherent manner.
"I see, although the habitat area has not changed much, the number itself has increased." The commander-in-chief was obviously satisfied with the speed of adaptation of the new members of the Fifth Regiment, and a smile appeared on his face, "The investigation of the thief dragon has been hard. ”
The ecological niche of the raptor in the New World was not high, so the investigation team arranged for the members of the recommendation team to investigate the raptor gathering community in the ancient tree forest. Alyssa is one of them, and it turns out that Fichte should be the same, but he encountered such an accident as a brute-jawed dragon on the way.
After the commander-in-chief finished speaking, the investigation squad leader Barn said: "Commander-in-chief, we have found that it is not only the raptors that have become more dangerous, there are reports that the herbivorous dragons and crested dragons in this place have also become very irritable. ”
The commander-in-chief pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said slowly: "...... Sure enough, it was influenced by the molten mountain dragon. Okay, then the task of the fifth regiment is to investigate the habitat of the crested dragon and defeat the rampaging individuals in it. ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" The hunters at the meeting reacted quickly.
"I'll go too, I'm very worried, after all, as a native of the New World, I'm still familiar with this place." Barn glanced at the leading Kelly and asked the commander-in-chief for his life.
"Approved." The Commander-in-Chief's face became serious again, "Then, the meeting is disbanded, and now go do what you have to do." ”
The meeting was dissolved, and the hunters dispersed to meet to drink and play cards, or go back to their rooms to rest.
At the top of the survey base is the "Star Ship", a gathering area with entertainment services, where hunters can have fun and return to their huts directly by cable car when they get tired of playing.
According to the plan, at this time, Fichte's team should go to the assembly area to have a good time and celebrate the successful completion of the mission. However, on the one hand, because Sardin was seriously injured and could not drink, on the other hand, Barn had just informed them that the leader of the second group had something to do with them in the processing house.
So, you can't go to this meeting area, but the processing house is worth a visit.
The group took the cable car in turn and came to the gate of the processing house on the second floor.
Although they had been here before, they did not enter it to explore it carefully, and Fichte and the others walked into this hot steel hall with full interest.
In the hall of the processing room, several half-naked men wielded various forging tools, either sending pieces of materials into the furnace, or forging rough blanks of equipment, or sending fuel to the furnace, all in full swing. A tall, honest-looking, bronzed, bald man stood aside, directing the apprentices at the top of his voice how to forge them.
The bronze bald man was the leader of the second phase of the regiment and the chief forging master of the investigation team. When he saw a few people walking in the door, he went back to the counter of the processing house and sat down, holding a sledgehammer in his hand, and said with a smile: "The newcomers of the fifth group, welcome to the processing house!" Complete your first mission! Got the material? ”
"Hahaha, don't be nervous, you don't know what I'm doing here, right?" The leader of the second phase of the group said very enthusiastically, "In our processing house, you can use the materials obtained to make weapons or armor, and in the future, when you go out to investigate, this will be one of the indispensable places." If you get new materials, you can come here and we can help you upgrade your equipment or forge new ones. ”
"Of course, it's not free! You have to pay a certain amount of gold, after all, the forger also has to eat, hahahaha! However, for the sake of your first time, I'm going to give you a free copy of the material, let's see, what do you want? ”
The leader of the second phase of the group looked at the shocked and expectant expressions of the four people in front of him, and his smile became even happier.
On the counter in front of him, one after another of different styles of sophisticated equipment slowly slid over the conveyor belt, and Fichte's eyes couldn't help but follow.
If he and Saldin were wearing these equipment at that time, even if they were hit by the Brute Jaw Dragon, they would definitely not be seriously injured.
Good equipment is almost the equivalent of a second life for a hunter. Because no one can guarantee that they will not miss a moment, at a critical moment, a good set of protective gear may be able to save their lives.
Thinking of this, Fichte suddenly remembered that although the materials on the body of the brute-jawed dragon he "hunted" had been extensively damaged, the part he brought back, even if the union deducted half of it and charged all kinds of fees, the rest should be enough to make a set of armor for himself.
Didn't Barn tell himself that the processing house had already done it for him, so he asked.
"Uncle, I'm Fichte, and I heard that you forged a set of armor for me with my materials, and I want to try it now." Fichte smiled, he thought, the scar on his face should not affect his affinity.
The leader of the second phase of the regiment was stunned for a moment, and the honest smile on his face became even brighter, "I said who is that lucky boy, who can actually meet such a good thing as a fire dragon killing a barbarian jaw dragon, it turns out to be youhahaha!" Not bad, yes, indeed like a qualified hunter.
Feed! That kid over there, go and take out the set of 'Barbarian Jaws' that you made yesterday! ”
An apprentice answered the door in the corner of the processing room.
"What is good luck, with my strength, I can hunt that big guy alone." Although he was slandered in his heart, Fichte did not say it, strength is such a thing as being proven by time, and if you want to win the respect of others, you have to rely on the accumulation of countless glory.
He was looking forward to the Jaw-Dragon suit more than "good luck" now.
