Chapter 229: A New Mission
If you want to advance to the three-star mid-level hunter, you will have to take on a new promotion mission in the Meje Boltan Hunter Guild. So early the next morning, the combination of Wenlong, Catherine and Begonia appeared in the hall of the Mejepoltan Hunters' Guild as expected.
And the reason why I didn't bring Reina with me was because I had to leave someone to watch the house and communicate with the black cat clan.
"Although it's a bit strange to have black cat people who are good at petty theft come to see their homes...... But it doesn't matter...... Anyway, I already know where their lair is, if you really dare to steal something and go back to sacrifice, next time you will clean him up, meow. Wen Long thought in his heart.
Walking into the Hunters' Guild Hall in Mejepoltan today, Wen Long obviously felt that the atmosphere around him was completely different from the last time he came. Many hunters cast admiring glances at them, and some hunters even took the initiative to come over to greet Wenlong and his party.
"Miss Catherine, please? I'm the leader of the Thundering Hunting Troupe, and we all saw your outstanding performance in the arena last time, so I wonder if you are interested in coming to our 'Thundering' Hunting Troupe? A well-dressed middle-aged man in white armor walked over with a few of his team members and accosted Catherine.
"Don't say yes, meow." Wen Long, who was lying on Catherine's shoulder, whispered in Catherine's ear.
Wen Long's reason is very simple, this kind of guy who waits for others to become famous and immediately comes to woo people is generally not a good person, and most of them are just using Catherine's fame to promote their hunting group.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, we have no plans to join the hunting group for the time being......" Catherine immediately politely refused.
"Ahh There is no need to apologize. If you change your mind at any time, come back to me......" The middle-aged man in white armor also said very politely.
Afterwards, several more hunters came up to Catherine to talk. However, most of the content of the conversation was similar, almost all of them wanted to invite Catherine to join their hunting group. However, they were all rejected by Catherine one by one.
"Mr. Cat...... We seem to be famous......" Catherine whispered to Wenlong after declining the invitation of these hunting groups.
"Of course, as long as you have strength, there will naturally be people who are willing to woo you...... There will be more of this kind of thing in the future, and you have to get used to it slowly, meow. ”
"Oh, oh......" Catherine nodded.
Because along the way, people kept coming up to talk. So just a short journey from the gate of the Mejepoltan Hunters' Guild to the counter to pick up the task took more than ten minutes. After finally refusing these people, Wenlong and his party finally arrived at the counter.
"Oh, hey, powerful newcomers are really popular...... It's been a long time since I've seen a newcomer have such treatment, and I'm almost catching up with the treatment when a five-star hunter appears. Before Wenlong could speak, Preeny, who was standing in front of the counter, said to Catherine enthusiastically.
"No......," Catherine said embarrassedly.
"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, but I've heard that you killed two green monster birds with two great swords in the arena...... I really didn't expect that in our Mejepoltan, there are people other than President Roden who can use two great swords at the same time......"
Speaking of which, Preeny even reached out and pinched Catherine's arm.
"Yikes!"
Preeny's sudden movements really startled Catherine.
"Huh...... The thickness of my arm is about the same as mine. It's just that the muscles are a little tighter...... How can you have so much strength? ”
"Sister Preeny, I'm going to be bothered by you doing this...... Catherine said.
"Ahh Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it because I was a little curious...... By the way, what are you here for? At this time, Preeny remembered to ask Wenlong and his party about the purpose of this time.
"We're ready to take on the promotion mission...... Catherine said.
"The promotion task, too, after all, with talent and strength like you, you will definitely not be willing to stay at the level of the three-star low-level...... It just so happens that we have an urgent promotion mission here, and we need to have a hunter to deal with it immediately. If I can leave it to you, then I will be relieved. Preenne thought for a moment, then said.
"Can you show us this promotion mission?" Catherine said again.
"No problem...... Preenne quickly brought a scroll, "this is it...... A soldier patrolling the field has disappeared, and according to eyewitness accounts, it is said that he was abducted by the Odd-Faced Clan......"
"Odd Face?" Catherine was stunned for a moment, because Catherine was not familiar with this term.
"Don't you know about the Odd Faces?" Seeing Catherine's stunned appearance, Preenne also asked in some surprise, "That group of Strangeface Clan has been making a lot of trouble lately, oh yes, this time you have to face the Strangeface tribe in the hustle and bustle...... Be careful......
"Ah, yes, Sister Preene." Catherine nodded.
However, when it comes to this strange face clan, although Catherine doesn't know about it, Wen Long is very familiar with it.
Like Elu, the Strangeface is an orc race with a certain amount of intelligence. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat power of the Strange Face Clan is much stronger than that of ordinary Ailu cats. And not only that, but in terms of their attitude towards humans, the Strangeface Clan is also the most radical, often waging wars against humans, and many times also causing a lot of trouble to humans.
However, in the history of hunter hunting, there have been very few cases of the Odd-faced people becoming hunter companions and fighting with the hunters. It's just that compared to Elu Cat, the probability of this happening in the Odd Face Clan is much lower.
"It's okay if it's just the Odd Face Clan, although the leader of the Strange Face Clan is more troublesome, but most of them are still not high in combat power, and they are relatively easy to deal with. I'm afraid that I'll encounter other monsters to cause trouble...... In that case, it would be troublesome to face many enemies at the same time......" After learning that the goal of this time was to rescue the kidnapped human soldiers from the Strange Face Clan, Wen Long suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.
Because Wen Long knew that when the Odd Face clan fought with foreign races, it was not only their own combat power that they relied on, they would also raise some monsters to do things for themselves, and if they accidentally encountered the Strange Face tribe that raised powerful monsters, it would be very difficult for even hunters to clean them up.
"Then without further ado, let's go, or if we delay a little longer, the more likely it is that the kidnapped person will be in danger, meow!" So Wen Long said to Catherine.
"Hmm." Catherine immediately agreed. (To be continued......)
