Chapter Forty-Seven: Good Luck Gets You a Little

It took Gordon a long time to peel off the corpses of the Strange-Faced Clan.

Hayatta also came to help at Amos's instructions, but judging by her shrinking appearance, it was clear that she was not very used to this kind of blood collection.

Fortunately, the peeling of the Qimian clan is relatively simple, and it is mainly to check their bags, and there is no need to peel the skin and remove the bones, otherwise the girl who has just become accustomed to the bloody picture will have to spit it out on the spot.

Gordon's luck was still desperately poor, and the corpses of a dozen or so Odd-faced people were scavenged, and the "most valuable" thing found was actually a half-eaten specialty dried shiitake mushroom.

Gordon rolled his eyes and tossed the pile of garbage aside, taking only the fragments of the Oddface's mask as proof of completion of the crusade.

If that's all there is, Gordon wouldn't be too depressed, after all, it's common sense for him that "the Strangemian only have garbage on them".

However, Hayata, who stripped the monster to collect materials for the first time, told him with his actions that you are the only one with a black face.

There were only two corpses of the Strange Face Clan that had been disposed of by Hayata, but just these two corpses allowed her to harvest an enviable treasure.

She found a metal pendant around the neck of a strange-faced person, and after a little scrubbing away the dirt, she found that it was an exotic gold coin in good condition.

According to Amos, although the main material of this so-called "gold coin" is brass, it is also an antique in the true sense of the word, and it should be sold to merchants who have a preference for this area, and it should be a few thousand gold.

Just as Gordon glared at the foreign gold coin in the girl's hand with envy and jealousy, Hayatta pulled out a small piece of crystal rough about the size of a finger from the carry-on bag of the second Strange-faced corpse.

Even Amos couldn't help but look at it.

He took the rough crystal from Hayata's hand, looked at the sun at the texture inside the crystal, and then pulled out the white ape naginata, and rubbed the surface of the crystal a few times with the blade of the knife to check its hardness.

Finally, with a subtle expression, he handed the small piece of crystal rough back to Hayata's hand, and said in a slightly strange tone: "This is a brilliant crystal, well, or a higher level of pure crystal."

The only pity is that it is too small to be used as a material for equipment, but even as jewelry, the value is not low, you can keep it for yourself to make a piece of jewelry, or you can ask your uncle to find a jewelry craftsman to refine and process it, and sell it to those noble ladies in the city, which can be worth a lot of money. ”

Gordon: "......"

Dare to love this guy touched the corpse twice, and the harvest was several times more than the total reward for his mission?

Emotion to emotion, but Gordon didn't intend to keep these two good things for himself.

The Odd-Faced Clan didn't hunt alone, and if Amos hadn't anticipated the appearance of the King of the Strange-Faced Clan and joined the mission to help, he might have died in the mountains and forests this time.

Asking for treasures or something, he doesn't have that thick skin.

But it's still so angry!

"Damn, is this the luck of a novice! But I haven't pulled out anything good back then, have I? Silently crouching next to the pile of garbage he had discarded, Gordon began to read it with resentment on his face.

"Luck is such a thing, it's a meow destined by God, and it's useless to regret it!"

The comfort of the pork chop's low emotional intelligence didn't help, and Gordon grabbed it and gave it a mess.

"Poof~"

Noticing Gordon's interaction with the pork chop, Hayatta, who was admiring the luster of pure crystal, couldn't help but laugh.

She whispered a few words to Amos, and when the latter nodded indifferently, she trotted to Gordon, who was holding a pork chop and looking as low as a giant shiitake mushroom.

"Senior Gordon~, this is for you."

Hayatta smiled and stuffed the exotic gold coin into Gordon's hand, "Those who see it have a share, I've been lucky since I was a child, I'll share a little bit with you~." ”

Looking at the ancient coin in his palm, Gordon was stunned for a moment, and then stood up in a hurry, ready to decline.

Unexpectedly, Amos spoke first, "Take it, it is the rule to share the spoils according to the merit after the team hunts, most of these strange faces are killed by you, you should have taken the lion's share." ”

"The King of the Strange Faces is your ......"

"The appearance of the king of the Strange Face Clan is an accident, it has nothing to do with the task itself, the value of that pure crystal is far higher than that of an exotic gold coin, you can accept it with confidence."

Amos interrupted Gordon again with a smile and steered the topic in a different direction, "The number of 20 odd-faced crusades should be enough, right?" ”

Still a little embarrassed, but knowing that it was not appropriate to continue his resignation, Gordon smiled at Hayattana, and finally put away the gold coin.

Then, as if to hide the surprise and shame in his heart, Gordon replied with a serious face: "Enough, there are fifteen corpses of the Strange Face Clan here, plus the previous nine, it is more than enough." ”

"Very well, let's get ready to go back."

......

The one-week crusade mission was completed on the first day without danger, and Gordon inevitably felt like a tiger.

It took them more than an hour to return to the camp, rest for the night, and the next day they left the hunting grounds, hitched a ride with a passing caravan, and set out on their journey back to Minagarde.

In fact, according to Gordon's previous habits, if the task is completed early and his condition is very good, he will choose to continue to stay in the hunting ground for a while, collect some minerals, herbs and other materials, as well as settlement items such as specialty shiitake mushrooms, to maximize the benefits.

However, he could also understand Amos's decision to return immediately, after all, the king of the Strangeface clan was still alive in the forest.

After the Sacrifice of the Strange-Faced Clan is over and the King of the Strange-Faced Clan returns to the deep mountains, this place is no longer suitable for two-star hunters like himself and beginners like Hayata.

But he still couldn't figure it out.

Why did the Amos seniors let go of the king of the Strange Face Clan when they had an absolute advantage?

On the van back to Minagard City, Gordon asked his own question.

"I knew you were going to ask that."

Amos's expression became serious, and he even went so far as to call down Hayata, who was lying on the top of the pile and teasing the pork chops, and waited for the two young men to sit down obediently in front of him, and then continued:

"What do you think is the duty of a hunter, and what is the relationship between man and nature?"

Hearing this, Hayatta and Gordon looked at each other.

Is this a theory class? Philosophy class? Or is it a moral lesson?

"The hunter's duty should be to rid the dangerous monsters, and as for the relationship between humans and nature, it should be competition."

Gordon's answer was modest, and Amos nodded, then looked at Hayatta.

Hayatta thought for a while and said: "The duty of a hunter is to escort the survival and development of human beings, and the relationship between human beings and nature, the competition that Gordon's predecessors said is one thing, and there is coexistence, right?" ”

A smile welled up in Amos' eyes.

Obviously, Hayata's answer was more in line with his heart, but Gordon's slightly radical approach wasn't wrong.

At least in the current era when the area of human activity accounts for less than 10 percent of the world's total, Gordon's idea is absolutely mainstream.
