Chapter Twenty-Five: Preparations are over and departure begins

"That's right," Sasha immediately explained, "This quest doesn't conflict with hunting, which means that you don't need to hunt any monsters, so it doesn't matter if you can take it with the hunting quest." In addition, the bounty for this quest is much higher than that of a normal hunting quest......"

"So, what is the task? Meow. Sasha's hesitant reaction and the higher pay she said made Wenlong suddenly intrigued.

"The mission is to investigate the cause of this aberration. The reward for the quest is 10 gold coins! ”

"Ten gold coins? This is indeed a rare high bounty for your Hunter Guild......"

In Wenlong's mind, ten gold coins is not too much, after all, with Wenlong's mastery of the synthesis formula, it is not difficult to earn ten gold coins, which has been verified by Wenlong when he sold the recovery medicine G before.

However, the reward of ten gold coins was relatively rare in the commission of the Hunter Guild, so this made Wen Long a little vigilant.

"Could it be that this task is quite difficult?" Wen Long was a little puzzled.

According to Wenlong's general idea, this kind of investigation task is generally not too difficult. After all, the investigation mission doesn't require you to hunt monsters, you just need to go to the place where the monster is, observe what monster caused the mutation, and then come back and report it.

As if seeing through Wen Long's thoughts, Sasha immediately continued: "Don't think that the investigation mission is relatively simple, in fact, several hunters sent from the Mejepotan branch have already given up the investigation because of injuries. This is why the bounty for this investigation mission has been increased from 1 to 10 gold. ”

"Wait, you're saying that several hunters from Mejportan were injured and gave up their investigations? Meow. Wen Long asked again.

"Yes."

"So they were injured by an unknown monster, but they didn't find out the identity of the monster? Meow. ”

"That's it."

"So what kind of attack did you get hurt? Meow. ”

"It's not very clear, because the hunters are all in a coma with burns."

"Burns? If you only have this information, you really can't tell what kind of monster is doing it. "In the case of insufficient intelligence, even Wen Long, who is familiar with the characteristics and appearance characteristics of various monsters, cannot tell what kind of monster it is, after all, in the world of Monster Hunter, there are too many monsters that can cause burns.

Faintly, a feeling of uneasiness began to spread in Wen Long's heart, because Wen Long knew that the hunters from the big city of Mejepoltan were generally much stronger than the hunters in this Millard village. This can be seen from the fact that there is a large branch of the Hunters' Guild in Mejepoltan, while there is only a small Hunters' Guild office in Millard Village.

But in this way, the more powerful hunters sent from the branch were also burned to the point of coma, which naturally had to arouse Wenlong's vigilance.

"It would be unwise to take on such a task at random with insufficient intelligence, especially since Catherine is too weak to go deep into the dense forest far from the village...... In addition, although I am confident that I will investigate this matter clearly, the reward of ten gold coins is really not attractive to me, so it is more practical to focus on increasing Catherine's hunter level at this stage......"

So Wen Long thought for a while, and finally said, "I'm sorry, we don't take such a task, meow." ”

Hearing Wen Long's answer, Catherine, who was already a little nervous on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Sasha showed an expected expression.

"That's right, such a mission would be dangerous, and it would be too reluctant for a one-star hunter like you to pick it up. I'm also too anxious, even a three-star hunter hasn't completed the task, I actually report it to a one-star hunter like you......" Sasha said with some apologies.

"That's not the case, Uncle Ben means that the reward for your task is too small, when the bounty of this task rises to 100 gold coins, tell Uncle Ben again, meow!"

After saying that, Wen Long took Catherine and walked away, leaving Sasha a little surprised in front of the counter.

After leaving the Hunters' Guild's office in Millard, Wenlong took Catherine to visit the grocery market in Milard Village, but to his disappointment, because the trade route with the big city of Mejepoltan had been threatened by monsters, the caravan could not pass, and the grocery market did not have much of the supplies Wenlong needed. In the end, Wenlong only bought some iron pickaxes for mining and insect nets for insect catching, in order to collect a little more wild materials in the gap between the hunt and prepare for the next stage of equipment.

In this way, after all the preparations were completed, Wen Long and Catherine returned to their rooms at the Silver Dragon Pavilion Hotel, and it was already evening. In order to hunt the next day, Wenlong and Catherine both went to bed early at night and did not do other activities to ensure that they could have enough energy the next day.

Then the time came to the next day, and early in the morning, Wenlong and Catherine first went to the forge house of Granny Reth, who had customized the equipment before, and received the equipment that had been customized before.

Wenlong's equipment is a set of Elu Cat's Great Boar Leather Armor and a set of Light Bone Twin Blades, while Catherine's equipment is a Giant Bone Knife and a set of Large Boar Skin Armor.

"Oh, it feels so good, this set of equipment is obviously the size of Ailu Cat, but it is still the human system used, and Granny Rence's skills really didn't disappoint me, Meow!"

Putting on solid armor for the first time, Wen Long felt a surge of power from his body.

In the past, when playing the game, the bonus of equipment to strength was mainly only reflected in the panel data, and the player himself could not directly feel the difference from the body. But this time, when Wen Long really put on the equipment forged from the materials of the big wild boar he hunted, the power that really emerged from his body made Wen Long immediately have a feeling that he had become stronger.

Not only Wenlong, but Catherine felt the same way.

"Ahh......hhhhh

"Meow, stupid, don't talk like a female anchor."

"Huh? female cambrants, what's that? ”

"Then you don't need to know, in short, it is the soul of the great boar attached to the equipment, and now it recognizes you as its master, which means that it has lent you its power. So what you feel now is the power that comes into your body from the soul of the Great Boar. ”

"Really, really?" Catherine was a little excited.

"Of course, although your only role in the last hunt was to attract a large boar, it seems that they have recognized you as the victor, Meow." Wen Long said with some mockery.

"Mr. Cat, you're so devastating...... And this time, I will definitely not be like last time......" Catherine was also a little embarrassed when she remembered the appearance of the last hunt.

"So this time it's going to be the plan I told you to do, remember what I said? Meow? Wen Long asked.

"Hmm." Catherine nodded affirmatively.
