Chapter 769: Departure Day

After the efforts of dozens of people in the Sand Scorpion Squad who sacrificed their spare time, the airship of the Little Scorpion Group had been announced to be renovated a few days ago. However, the preparations for the departure of the hunting ship were much more cumbersome than Qin Shui Yu imagined, and nearly three days passed after the agreement to Ha Yi was realized, and the approval of the trade union and the supplies of the Ningyuan Chamber of Commerce were delivered one after another. Avoiding the scorching afternoon sun, the shipwrights finally began work at dusk, and under the supervision of small merchants, they carried crates of food and hunting gear, as well as barrels of spare fuel, into the warehouse.

"Be careful! Don't put fuel with detonators, are you going to murder? Captain Sand Scorpion was running back and forth in and out of the warehouse, his voice full of impatience, but his eyes shining with excitement.

After nearly two months of rest and training, this is the team's second actual combat commission after a long absence, and it is also an opportunity to test whether the five people who are plagued by blood poison can be qualified for the work of the hunting ship. After returning from the relic's hunting ground, the Sand Scorpions lived and worked in the airship for a long time, and they personally adjusted the small boat to the best state little by little, and they had already developed feelings for it. Now that the hunter ship is able to sail away from the nest again, the observer can feel the joy coming from the airship just by brushing his fingertips over the bulkhead of the cargo hold.

"Wait...... What are these? Hay stood still in front of the hatch and reached out to stop the convoy in front of him as it was about to enter the cabin. On the two cars at the head, the silver-gray objects were each firmly bound by ropes, and they were clearly two naval guns. The young merchant narrowed his eyes and confirmed the form in his hand: "I don't remember that there are still these things on the agreed supplies, are they also from Ning Yuan?" ”

"It was delivered to the Little Hunters by Master Tresor." The female regiment leader walked down the gangway and answered, "These naval guns are one of the weapons made from that alloy a few days ago. ”

"Hah...... If the small hunter group lacks firepower, it can be listed in the supply needs for us. The little merchant scratched his cheeks, "We are already companions, so we don't need to be polite or anything." ”

"Good intentions are understood." Qin Shuiyu smiled and waved his hand to signal the boatmen to move the cart in, "However, it is not our requirement to contain these hunting equipment, but a combat test commissioned by the master. The hunting group took as many commissions as possible before leavingβ€”even with Ning Yuan's funding, the little hunting group had to be careful in their calculations. ”

Sha Rumo registered the warehousing, turned his head and said: "It just so happens that the weapons of the hunting ship are not yet assembled, and there are two vacant gun compartments on the sternboard, so I will ask someone to assemble them......"

"Don't be busy," the girl said, waving her hand, "before I go, I'd like to make one final confirmation of your condition." Sand Scorpion everyone...... Is it really okay already? ”

"Don't worry, after seeing the situation on the ruins hunting ground, we won't be as blindly optimistic as we were last time." Sha Rumo nodded firmly, "This airship bears the lives of the little hunting group and the companions of the sand scorpion, no matter how eager I am to return to the hunting ground, I will not joke with them." ”

"So, you've got a way to remove the blood poison?"

"The law of rank is not something that can be broken casually, at least not by our ability alone." The observer turned his hand, "But Xiao Lu Shushi has found a way, what to say...... It's more like 'cheating' it than 'lifting'. ”

Although the scribes have not been able to thoroughly analyze the characteristics of the "Law of Rank", its deterrent effect on monsters is one of the most obvious applications. High-level monsters use breath as a medium and can directly affect the blood of lower-level monsters, even for hunters with dragon blood.

Inspired by the dragon marrow pulp, Lu Yingying asked the seniors of Golden Feather City to concoct a potion that could stimulate the blood breath of monsters. The potion does not have the effect of suppressing monsters or making them crazy like purple forbidden drugs, but the monster aura produced is extraordinarily strong. Just drinking one bottle will dilute the effects of any other breath on the hunter for the next ten hours.

"Inside is the blood of a low-level ornithosaurus, far below our rank." Sha Rumo poked around his waist and felt out a finger-thick medicine bottle. The liquid in the bottle was crystal clear, and it was flowing with blood in the twilight sun, "As long as we take our medicine on time, stay in the airship, and take care not to fight the monsters head-on, it won't affect the work of the hunting ship - although it is only a stopgap measure, it is already great news for us." ”

Not participating in frontal combat, it is barely acceptable to put it on the Sand Scorpion Five, but it is useless for Aosen, who does not know the skills of hunting ships. Recalling the inexplicable irritability and depression of the "One-Star Hunter" in the past two days, and the offer to stay in Locklac on the eve of the trip and take charge of the liaison work of the camp, Qin Shui finally had an answer to all this.

"Is that so...... That's hard work for everyone. The little head bowed and said, "Without the help of the sand scorpion, the preparation for this commission would not have been as smooth as today." ”

"If we want to thank you, we should thank the little hunting group, especially the head of the group, you and Xiao Lu Shushi." Sha Rumo made a hunter's salute, "To be honest, after the battle of Ryan Yelu, I don't have much hope of returning to the hunting grounds. I didn't expect that in that case, the sand scorpion could still be taken in by the small hunting group. ”

"You are the ones who are willing to sign the roster." The little regiment commander returned the salute and said playfully, "If you encounter the scene of being besieged by two rare species in the future, I hope you will not regret it - speaking of which, where are the other combatants in the regiment?" I've patrolled the bridge once, but I haven't seen them. ”

…………

"Identification and Classification of Ruins Fragments", "Tracing the Origin of the Ancient Wars", ...... Hunter glory, are you going to bring the entire library to our ship? Xiong Fuji held a thick stack of books, one of which was stuffed into the bookshelf of the bulkhead. Outside the cabin there were two bookcases that needed to be cleaned urgently, and the books inside seemed to be more than enough to fill the bulkhead on all sides.

"Providing knowledge and intelligence to the small hunting group is also my own work, how can I not make more preparations before leaving?" Lu Yingying lay lazily on the bed, looking at the hunters who were sorting out books around her, "Besides, I just brought everything I needed for this trip, you should really look at my home." ”

Lu Wen's badge has the right to borrow without restriction below the third floor of the library, as long as it is not a unique book, it can be taken out of the library at will, and even the confidential information on the top floor is not completely free to turn. It was the first time for the girl to know that Daddy's badge had such a big authority, and with the idea of making full use of the resources, she almost brought out the slightly related bibliography.

The little scribe turned over comfortably, and the plank bed to which the hunter was accustomed was too cruel for the frail scribe, she brought a soft blanket and duvet with herβ€”of course, on credit from the shop for her father's badge.

"Hey, why is she the only one there in a daze, aren't these all her books?" Xiao Yang stacked a handful of books on the crook of Lu Xiu's arm, glanced at Lu Yingying in the cabin, and complained in a low voice.

"She's the only one here, she's not a hunter, don't you really mind that?" Jia Xiao swept past his companion and patted the shoulders of the double knife hands, "After taking care of this cabin earlier, we still have to go to the command cabin to rendezvous." ”

"Let's take care of it a little bit......" Xiaolongren smiled shyly, glanced at the hatch with some concern, and saw the scrivener on the bed yawning and curling up into the futon, "Knowing that we are leaving Locklac, Yingying has been staying up late in the library for the past two days to verify it, and she has not rested much until now." ”

"So, does Sister Yingying have anything to gain? About the portrait of the weapon? Hearing the whispers outside the cabin, Shentu Miaoling couldn't help but ask aloud.

"Not much......," the little scribe rubbed his reddened eyes, "I haven't had time to finish all the selected books, so I'll have to continue working on the road." ”

"I thought the scribe knew everything," Xiong touched his nose and muttered in a low voice, "I've been busy for a long time, and I still have to learn and sell now......

"Hey, don't underestimate us scribes!" Lu Yingying sat up and pointed to the classics around the bulkhead, "Aside from the knowledge we already know, the library itself is a profound science. Even if we don't know a particular knowledge, we know how to get it, and that's the most powerful thing a scrivener can do. ”

"The Secret Story of the Human Dragon Contract...... Is there really a record of that contract in the union's library? The archer stopped tidying up and flipped through the top one of the stacks. It is a quaint and rough panel painting, in which you can vaguely distinguish hunters running on the ground, large and strangely shaped airships in the air, dark clouds on the horizon, and thunder and lightning hitting the ground. The text in the book was probably the same as the lingua franca of today, but the grammar was obscure, and the girl only glanced at it a few times, and then closed the page with a headache.

"If this is an important historical process, it's really strange that there is no record, right?" The little scribe asked rhetorically.

"I can't believe the contents of the contract have been buried for so long...... I'm afraid not many people remember it anymore. The female archer shook her head.

"The safest way to keep a secret is to forget about it. Throw the secret into the pile of old papers, and let the most paranoid scribe pass it on to it. Lu Yingying said abruptly, "That's what the predecessors of the scribes seem to think, and now it seems that they are doing a good job." ”

Ying Ying lay lazily on the bed, looking at the hunters who were sorting out books around her, "Besides, I just brought everything I needed for this trip, you really should see what my home looks like." ”
