Chapter 229: The Old Drunkard of Tangia Harbor
Although it is not a trip with the main goal of hunting monsters, Hayatta is still full of expectations.
When she was in Minagarde City, because Master Amos was very busy, the time for teaching hunting had to be constantly compressed, so it was naturally impossible to take her out for a walk.
After being promoted to three stars, she wanted to travel to the mainland, but for some reason she stopped in the village of Bokai in the Great Snow Mountain, where she practiced for almost a year, and then came to Dong Doruma.
The vast majority of the entire continent is a fresh "undiscovered" state for her.
It seems interesting to be able to go out and walk around and increase your knowledge, even if you don't hunt.
In the hunter's hut in the assembly house.
Hayatta hummed an out-of-tune tune and straightened her outfit for the outing.
Perhaps because of the psychological shadow left by the encounter with the Fire Dragon before, she now habitually puts a Chinese medicine in the corner of the prop bag, plus a secret medicine given to her by Gordon at the dinner last night.
I feel a lot more at ease.
After checking her luggage and necessary belongings, carefully equipping herself with the female fire dragon armor, and hanging the dragon sword [Aoi] diagonally behind her, Hayatta walked out of the hut in a relaxed mood.
It's still early in the morning.
There weren't many hunters in the hall of the guild, and those who stayed in the tavern area at this time either got up early for breakfast or hadn't woken up after drinking last night.
Carefully bypassing an older sister who was lying on the ground snoring with a wine bottle in her arms, Hayatta came to Gordon and Pork Chop who were waving to her.
"Good morning, Gordon-senpai, and pork chops."
"Morning meow!"
"Morning, good complexion." Gordon shoved a bowl of oatmeal with dried fruit in front of Hayata.
Hayatta finished eating, then took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth elegantly.
"Have you eaten? It's almost time, let's go to the airship flat. ”
"Good~!"
The air journey from the city of East Doruma to the port of Tangia took three days and two nights.
Once again, Gordon was impressed by the convenient air mobility system in East Doruma.
If you take a boat by sea, as Anhill did, it will take at least a month, and on foot, this time may be tripled or quadrupled.
When the airship landed, the prosperous port of Tangia gradually came into view.
Hayatta behaves like a wandering child, not screaming enough, but he does see everything new.
Gordon was also drawn to the huge stone pillars that stood tall in the sea not far from the harbor.
These are the "lighthouses of evil", the famous landmark of Tangia Port, with stone spires that keep their flames lit, guiding ships in the darkness and storms of the night.
It is a port, and the port of Tangia, which is also a trading city, naturally also has a hunter's meeting place.
After disembarking from the airship, Gordon inquired a little, got the location of the assembly hall, and walked there with Hayatta and the pork chop.
The Tangia Hunters' Lodge was located close to the port, right next to the pier by the sea, and to Gordon's surprise, it was open-air.
Sailors, merchants, and hunters come and go, chatting and laughing and laughing from each other, which is another lively atmosphere that is different from that of Dondoruma.
"Hahaha! Hunter you haven't seen before, come and have a drink with the old man! Tons and tons of tons! ”
Hearty laughter, accompanied by the sound of swallowing wine, came from the direction of the counter.
Gordon and Hayatta turned their heads to see that it was an old dragon man standing on the counter table and pouring wine.
He was also an old man of the Dragonhuman Clan, different from the plain attire of the village chief of Kokot, or the head of the East Doruma Guild.
He wears a white hat with a large brim on his head, a blue cloak behind his back, and an upturned mustache, which is grand and arrogant.
"Poof! Pour wine and pour wine! The old man, who had drunk half a glass and spilled half a glass, banged his glass on the table and shouted loudly.
A girl dressed in a blue sailor suit with blond hair trotted all the way to the old man, bowing and apologizing to Gordon.
"Sorry, sorry! Please don't mind, he's drunk again! ”
"What nonsense! Cathy! Pour wine for the old man, ha! Full on full! The old man shook his body and continued to pound on his glass.
When the blonde Kanban lady named Cathy heard this, she turned around and crossed her waist and lectured dissatisfiedly: "President! You can't drink anymore, you're already drunk! ”
"Impossible! When pigs fly! The old man is not drunk in a thousand cups! Raise! ”
"Babbling ——!!" Cathy hurriedly covered the hem of her skirt, and her face turned red.
"Hahaha! The old man saw it, it was blue and white stripes! ”
"Bang!"
A huge round-headed copper hammer swung around, and in one fell swoop the "Elder" flew out, drawing a parabola in the air, flying over the trestle, and finally falling into the sea. (Note (1))
Gordon: "."
The hammer was another black-haired girl in a sailor suit, who carried the hammer on her shoulder and gracefully lifted her skirt, "I'm Alina, I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”
"Really. Energetic, is that old gentleman okay? Gordon asked with a dry smile.
"It's okay, it's not once or twice." The black-haired Alina carried a hammer and said terrible things.
Walking back to the counter and placing the hammer next to a large gong, Alina turned around with a sweet smile on her face.
"Both, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Everything that had just happened made Gordon forget for a moment what he was here for, and Hayatta next to him answered, "We want to inquire about something." ”
"Ahem, ahem, what's the matter, the old man knows about the port of Tangia."
I don't know when I crawled out of the sea, and the old dragon man, who had woken up from the wine, took off his big-brimmed hat and twisted the water, and returned to his beloved counter table while muttering.
"My head hurts, what just happened, why is the old man in the sea"
Gordon glanced at the expressionless Alina, selectively ignored the old dragonman's questions, and after sorting out the following sentences, he explained his intentions, "Hello, Mr. President, we are hunters from Dondoruma.
We would like to ask if there has been a heavy crossbowman named Anhir and a shield axe envoy named Fengying who have recently arrived in Tangia Harbor? ”
The old dragon man rubbed his red and swollen skull, "Anhil, Fengying?" I don't seem to be impressed. ”
"It's Anhill Sterling, who follows the Stirling Chamber of Commerce, and a stupid . . . Well, I mean the innocent and lively little girl of the Dragonhuman Clan? ”
Gordon looked back in some surprise.
The voice was a middle-aged man of the dragon clan who was dressed in the national costume of the Western Continent, carrying a black sheath sword on his back, and his eyebrows were rude and impressive.
Cathy bowed in unison with Alina behind the counter, and the old dragon man greeted the man with a big brimmed hat.
"Hello, that's them." Gordon nodded to the visitor, "My name is Gordon, and I'm their friend, do you know where they stay?" ”
"Unfortunately, they left with the ship of the Stirling Chamber of Commerce a few days ago, and looking at the direction of the ship's departure, it seems that they are planning to go east?"
"You're mistaken, they must have gone west." Gordon smiled in response to the man's temptation.
"Hahaha, it's my mistake I'm wrong, Gordon who is facing the storm, the little girl Fengying talked about you, but I didn't expect to meet it in just a few days.
It's fate to meet each other, let's have a drink together? ”
"Okay!"
Gordon had a hearty smile on his face, but he was sighing in his heart.
Feng Ying's big mouth.
