Chapter 583: Hunter's Workshop
"Old hunter?"
Maria paused, and then said, "Anyway, you will see her soon, so I will tell you in advance, and I can be prepared." ”
Li Yunfeng, who was following behind Maria, said, "I want to hear about it." ”
Maria:
"Actually, Old Hunter (Old Hunter) does not mean that people are old, but a title, as the title of the manager of the hunter's workshop, such as the current Old Hunter, who is very young, is a woman who is less than thirty years old."
"I see."
Li Yunfeng nodded: "If it weren't for your explanation, I would have thought the old hunter was an old man." ”
Maria admits: "It's easy to misunderstand the title Old Hunter, and that's what I thought when I first heard it. ”
Li Yunfeng then asked, "Then what is the name of the old hunter?" Or rather, what should I call her? ”
"It's a shame that she doesn't have a name of her own, so we all call her Old Hunter."
"No name?"
Hearing Maria's words, Li Yunfeng felt a little puzzled: "How can a person not have a name?" ”
Maria explained: "It is said that the old hunter escaped from the ruined city of Yanan, and in the process of escaping, he was stimulated a little, which caused physical problems and even a loss of memory. So the old hunter could not remember his name, and he had to sit in a wheelchair with inconvenient legs. ”
"But fortunately, the old hunter knew that Yanan's nightmare was about to spread here based on his remaining memories, so he formed the hunter organization, which is the hunter workshop we are about to arrive, to fight those monsters."
Li Yunfeng nodded and said, "The old hunter did the right thing, in the case of not being able to cure those monsters, the only way is to kill them all." ”
"Oh, yes, Maria."
"Li in a foreign land, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Maria, you haven't said what the city under our feet is called?"
"Oh, I was negligent."
As she spoke, Maria stopped in front of an iron gate outside the wall, turned back to Li Yunfeng and said, "This is Mulun City in the east of Yanan, of course, but we hunters prefer to call this the city of hunting. ”
Immediately, Maria pushed open the iron door and said to Li Yunfeng: "We have arrived, and inside is the hunting workshop." ”
Then, Maria was the first to walk in the door, and Li Yunfeng also followed.
The so-called hunting workshop should actually be regarded as a manor the size of a football field, and Li Yunfeng, who was advancing along the stone road, noticed that there were many tombstones of different sizes on the side of the road.
"Those are the tombstones of dead hunters."
Maria turned her head and said, "By now you should understand how much we need new people. ”
Soon, the two of them came to the middle of the manor, at the door of the two-story building, and Maria knocked on the door first, in a rhythm of three long and two short, as if it were some kind of code.
After waiting for a few seconds and finding that there was no movement inside, Maria pushed open the door with confidence and walked into the hall with Li Yunfeng.
Li Yunfeng also understood the reason why there was no response in the room.
I saw that there was only one nameless old hunter in a wheelchair in the hall, and the other hunters were no longer here at all, thinking that they should be hunting monsters, and the old hunter was unable to move, so it was impossible to come and open the door.
"Ah, Maria, you've done a good job of bringing new hunters here."
The old hunter in a dark brown trench coat and a brimmed hat raised his head, first looked at Maria not far away, and then turned his head to look at Li Yunfeng:
"Hunter in a foreign land, I believe Maria has already introduced me to you, so can you introduce yourself?"
"My name is Li Yunfeng, you can call me Li."
Li Yunfeng replied without humility or arrogance: "I am willing to become a hunter, but I also hope that you can provide sufficient information and other support." ”
Yes, from Li Yunfeng's point of view, there is no harm in uniting local forces.
Of course, while talking, Li Yunfeng also took in the appearance of the old hunter, she was a blonde white beauty, judging from her appearance, she was indeed less than thirty years old, but she had the title of an old hunter.
Just when Li Yunfeng was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly found that on the chair in the corner of the hall, there was a beautiful female doll that looked like a real person and was dressed all over her body.
What a delicate doll.
Just when Li Yunfeng was admiring in his heart, the puppet lady actually took the initiative to bow her head slightly at Li Yunfeng, as if she was greeting.
"Huh?"
Li Yunfeng couldn't help but exclaim, the puppet has no life, why would she move?
"What's wrong?"
Maria's voice woke up Li Yunfeng, who turned to Maria who stepped forward and replied, "What's the matter with that puppet?" ”
"Oh, which."
Maria turned her head to look at the old hunter, who nodded in agreement, and then Maria said: "That doll is something that the old hunter brought out from Yanan City, and it is said that the doll belongs to the old hunter of the previous generation, that is, the items of Yanan Hunter's Workshop. ”
Speaking of this, Maria paused, glanced at the doll herself, and then continued: "That doll is amazing, in the eyes of some people, the doll can act and even speak like a real person, but in the eyes of others, a doll is a doll. ”
Li Yunfeng couldn't help asking, "What about you?" ”
"Me?"
I only heard Maria reply: "Sometimes, I also see dolls saluting me, but then I carefully confirmed that the doll is just a doll, but the workmanship is exquisite and looks like a real person, which is easy to dazzle, so now I don't care if the doll will move or not." ”
Then Maria added: "After all, there are monsters out there to hunt, and there is no extra energy to care about any dolls." ”
When Maria had finished speaking, the old hunter spoke:
"Li in a foreign land, since you are willing to be a part of our workshop, then hurry up and join the hunt night, we ......"
The old hunter looked at the empty halls around him, and said, "We need men. ”
As he spoke, the old hunter glanced at Maria, who said understandingly, "Come, Lee from a foreign land, I'll take you to the arsenal." ”
Li Yunfeng followed Maria and walked towards the room on the right side of the hall, and interestingly, Li Yunfeng's eyes caught a glimpse of the puppet's expression on himself again, this time with an expected smile.
In this way, Li Yunfeng followed Maria, passed through several doors, and came to the weapons store, where various weapons were placed on the shelves.
Meat sawing knives, saw meat spears, sharp canes, pile drivers, etc., in addition to cold weapons, Li Yunfeng noticed that there are also firearms here.
Of course, due to the scientific and technological reasons of the Bloodborne World, all the flintlock pistols placed in the arsenal are ancient flintlock pistols, and there are no modern automatic high-firepower weapons.
The flintlock pistol does not have a magazine, the bullet needs to be loaded into the chamber from the muzzle, and it can only be fired one shot at a time, and it cannot be fired continuously, and there is no double line in the barrel, which leads to the poor shooting accuracy of the firearm, and the medium and long-range hits are very unstable.
But the bullets that accompany the guns are very interesting, the little finger-sized, silver cone bullets, which Maria calls mercury bullets.
Of course, mercury here does not refer to the element mercury in chemistry, but to holy water and metallic silver. Yes, according to legend, these two substances have the effect of destroying evil spirits, so they are made into bullets and used to hunt monsters.
Normally, hunters can choose a cold weapon and a musket, so Li Yunfeng chose a one-handed sword with a sword body about one meter long and a cold light on the blade, and a short and powerful pistol for gunpowder weapons.
Li Yunfeng will choose the sword, quite the romance of the Oriental in it, think about it, the heroes in martial arts are generally swordsmen, or swordsmen, after all, the sword is the gentleman of the hundred blades, and the sword is the overlord of the hundred blades.
But have you ever seen a hero with a mace?
The kind of weapons that can't be put on the table are generally used by bandits......
"Well, good eyesight."
Maria looked at the sword in Li Yunfeng's hand and said, "It's called moonlight, don't live up to its sharpness." ”
"Understood."
Li Yunfeng inserted the moonlight back into the scabbard and hung it on his left waist, then raised the pistol in his left hand at Maria and asked, "Does this gun have a name?" ”
Maria blurted out: "Hunter pistol." ”
Well, as you can see from the name, the pistol is ordinary, nothing special.
In addition to weapons, Maria also prepared a lantern for Li Yunfeng that could be hung on his waist to facilitate searching in the dark, a belt with many cloth bags hanging in which there were many mercury bullets, and ......
"This is a blood collection bottle."
Maria picked up a thumb-sized bottle filled with red liquid and said to Li Yunfeng:
"With the invention of blood therapy, it became popular. Look closely, there is a needle on the lid of the blood vial, and when you want to use it, you will prick the blood vial directly in the thigh, arm, chest, and everything that can be pierced anyway. It is a simple version of blood therapy that can be used anytime and anywhere, and as for the effect, you should have already experienced it. ”
Li Yunfeng nodded, his injuries were recovered under the effect of blood therapy, of course he understood its effect.
"And then, that's it!"
While speaking, Maria brought a dark windbreaker that could cover her whole body and asked Li Yunfeng to put it on:
"The emblem of our workshop hunters, the hunter's coat, have you noticed the sword-shaped emblem on the left side of the chest? That's the hallmark of our hunter's workshop. From now on, you're a Workshop Hunter, and I hope you'll help us complete the hunt. ”
Afterwards, Maria saw Li Yunfeng put on a windbreaker and was neatly equipped, and then said: "After leaving the hunter's workshop, you have to rely on yourself, but before that, I want to have a drink, what about you?" ”
Li Yunfeng understood that after receiving herself, Maria, who was a crow hunter, also had her own job, so this cup before leaving was not only for Li Yunfeng to practice, but also for herself.
"Okay, let's have a drink."
Li Yunfeng had no reason to refuse, so Maria took Li Yunfeng out of the arsenal and walked to the restaurant on the other side, of course, it was still empty, only the blood moon outside the window hung in the sky.
Maria took out a bottle of wine and two wooden glasses from the cabinet, one with Li Yunfeng, and drank it quietly without saying a word.
Li Yunfeng also took this opportunity to see Maria's appearance without a mask, her unpleasant snow-white and delicate skin, and her beautiful face, but unfortunately her blonde hair was a little messy, probably because she hadn't taken care of it for a long time.
"Let's go, it's time to go."
After drinking, Maria put on the crow mask again and led Li Yunfeng back to the hall, and on the way, Maria also said to Li Yunfeng with deep meaning:
"Hopefully, you'll be able to complete the hunt, and hopefully I won't run into you."
The crow hunter is a hunter who hunts hunters, and Li Yunfeng certainly understands the meaning of her words.
And just like that, the two returned to the hall.
The old hunter also officially issued them the quest, starting with Maria:
"Maria, he's crazy."
Although she didn't have a name, Maria knew who the old hunter meant by "he", so she nodded and turned to leave the room.
Next, it was Li Yunfeng's turn, and he only heard the old hunter say:
"Li in a foreign land, I have seen many strangers like you before this, but most of them have never returned after leaving the workshop, either dead or running away."
Li Yunfeng knew that the strangers in the old hunter's mouth should refer to other members of the main god space, after all, the mission of the Blood Source World, many colleagues had tried, and it was not surprising that they would come to the old hunter to learn about the information.
So, Li Yunfeng asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Hunt."
Old Hunter says:
"The hunter's duty is to hunt, kill all monsters, that's all."
