Chapter 70: For the Delicious Crab Roe
Gordon and Ted hid in the corner until Miles led Oshura and Marcosin out of the mission counter and out of the assembly hall.
The Kanban girl on duty today is the fish monster Tiji.
Trying to maintain a business smile, she was about to lay down and doze off as she saw off Miles and the group, when suddenly she felt that the light around her had dimmed a lot.
Looking up in a bit of confusion, she found two huge shadows and wall-like pestles in front of the counter, blocking her vision.
Tiki swallowed a little frightened at first, and only then did she roll her eyes and return to her usual lazy appearance when she saw the appearance of the person who came against the light.
"What~, it turned out to be Gordon and Ted, huh? Ted, didn't you set off with Old Man Miles? I just watched him go out, huh? ”
Ted grinned, revealing a mouthful of big teeth that were much bigger than ordinary people, and said with a smile: "I won't hunt with my dad today, go with our good brother Gordon!" ”
Tiki blinked, her eyes scanning between the two of them with curiosity.
"When will you two become good brothers with Little Brother Gordon?" Ever since she knew that Gordon was younger than herself, she always liked to call Gordon "little brother", although the age gap between the two was less than half a year.
Immediately afterward, she looked at Ted again, and teased with a wicked smile: "Ah yes, I just heard that someone broke his wrist and lost to Gordon's little brother, isn't it, 'Lord Ted, who has the best wrist strength in the world'?" ”
"No, I can't say that, mainly because of that...... Hey, well, it's Uncle Ben who lost. Ted stared at him for a long time, but finally admitted his defeat.
Gordon flexed his arms and patted his biceps slightly meaningfully, but he had absolute confidence in his strength.
"That's not the point, Uncle Ben just didn't eat enough today!" Ted defended forcefully, then quickly changed the subject.
"Little Tigi, let's see if there's a suitable collection task! Three stars is OK, if you want Metabe, let's go on vacation! ”
"Gathering tasks? Jungle? Holiday? A few question marks popped up above Tiggie's head.
She really couldn't sort out the logical relationship, and it wasn't until Gordon and Ted explained a little that she suddenly realized: "So that's the case, wait, I'll find it~." ”
Gordon grinned, turned around and hugged the still drunken pork chop to Tigi.
Looking at the big doll like a fluffy pork chop, Tiki "whin~".
As if a thief stretched his neck and quickly looked left and right, after confirming that it was temporarily safe, he stretched out his hands and frantically rubbed a wave of pork chops' little heads.
"Don't let the president know, or I'll be scolded again!"
Reluctantly letting go of her hand, Tiki looked down and quickly rummaged through the large to-do list.
Soon, she found three documents that met the requirements.
The mission locations are all in the Metabe Jungle, and the first document is "Dragon Mushroom", the second is "Fire Dragon's Egg", and the third is "Best Crab Roe".
"Brother Gordon, what do you think?" Ted pinched his broad and square chin and said, "I'll forget about the dragon mushroom, it's too rare and too lucky, but don't even fail to complete the task by then." ”
Gordon agreed with Ted, and he himself flicked open the dragon egg's slip in disgust, and he had some psychological shadows about it......
Then the choice is only the last slip.
——

Content: Pay 5 copies of the best crab roe
Remuneration: 5,000 gold

Chef of a high-end restaurant: Recently, I have been developing a new dish, and ordinary crab roe can no longer meet my needs for extreme deliciousness.
Please go and help me get five servings of the best crab roe, my culinary soul is already burning!
——
"It feels good." Gordon licked the corner of his mouth, "I haven't eaten the crab roe of the shield crab yet." ”
"Aha! That's this task, Uncle Ben hasn't eaten that thing before, it should be very fresh, little Tiji, help us go through the formalities! Ted rubbed his big hands together, his face full of impatience.
Tiki didn't handle it immediately, but stretched out her finger and clicked on the "possible monsters" column, and said in a slightly serious tone:
"According to the hot air balloon report, there are traces of the Daimyo shield crab in the vicinity, and it is possible to encounter it during the mission, have you noticed it?"
The Daimyo Shield Crab is a three-star monster with a danger level, and if it weren't for the possibility of encountering it, the difficulty rating of this quest should only be two stars.
"See, see, see!" Ted waved his hand very indifferently, "Uncle Ben is a four-star hunter, a famous shield crab or something, as long as it comes, we dare to cook it together!"
In other words, can you eat the crab roe of the daimyo shield crab? Is it tasty? How to eat? ”
Tiki Gordon: "......"
"I really can't do anything about you, anyway, you have to be careful!" Tiki crossed her waist and reminded again, then took the task slip and left the counter to find the president.
- Although this is only a three-star collection task, if Gordon wants to participate, he still needs to go through the special approval process of the president.
It didn't take long for Tiggie to return, and the president didn't say much about Gordon's participation in this mission, and the four-star gun made Ted strong enough to calm the field.
With the permission of the president, the task was completed quickly.
Gordon and Ted, who are also swordsmen (melee generally), don't have anything special to prepare, and the two of them, who are full of crab roe dishes, can't wait for a long time.
"Let's go! Let's go! ”
"Wait, what about the pork chop that is still drunk?" Gordon, who was almost out of the assembly hall door, suddenly stopped.
"Give it a day off and let Tiki take care of it?"
"Well, isn't that a bit inappropriate......
"Bring some crab roe to him when he comes back, and bring some more specialties or something as compensation?"
"That's it!"
......
After leaving Minagard City, Gordon and Ted rode along the coastline in a herbivorous dragon cart, and a few days later, they arrived at their destination, a hunting ground along the coast in the northwest corner of the Metabel Forest.
Unlike the hunting grounds where the Odd-Faced Clan had gone, there was a vast blue sea, a warm and humid sea breeze, and a sunshine that was extremely bright.
If it weren't for the hungering monsters everywhere, this would be a great place to get.
In the face of this sea, wind and beach, Ted, who has obviously completely let himself go, even wanted to wear a pair of beach pants to complete the task, but was reprimanded back by Gordon, who maintained the last bit of sanity.
Relaxation isn't so relaxing! Is it really a hunting ground or a resort?
"But it's really hot......," said Ted, who was forced to be fully armed, looking a little lost, taking off his sultry helmet and snorting.
Gordon rolled his eyes and didn't answer.
Ted was equipped with a set of armor called the "Rock Dragon Suit", a sturdy carapace that covered every corner of his torso, and a swaggered shoulder armor that made him look even bigger than he was already tall.
Considering that as a gunner, he is positioned as a defender in the front row of the team, and this ironclad shape is really full of security......
