Explaining the purpose and intention, the wealthy merchant picked up the Nanban knife [Shark Break] on the table, said to the waiter, "Hang my account", and left in a dashing manner.

He told Gordon that if a decision was made, he could be informed at any time, and that his trading ship was docked in port and that it would be easy to find him.

Gordon knew it was to give him time to talk to his partner.

Obviously, Hayatta lacked knowledge of things like the Peak Mountain Dragon, the Harvest Sacrifice, and the Great Desert Feast.

Confused look.

In fact, these miscellaneous rumors and knowledge were also gradually learned by him after he was promoted to a four-star hunter and traveled to the mainland with Anhil.

Take this opportunity to have a good science popularization with Hayata.

"Hayatta, do you know anything about the 'Ancient Dragon'?"

Hayatta hesitated, then nodded, "Master has told me that some terrifying creatures are above ordinary beings and have the power of natural disasters and can easily destroy villages and even cities.

At the same time, their every move is closely related to nature and the environment, and it is an important part of maintaining ecological operation, right? ”

Well, it's a high-ranking hunter, and it's summarized accurately and tightly, and it seems that I don't have to bother with words in this regard.

Gordon nodded, and was about to continue, when Madeata spoke again.

"Gordon Senpai." Hayata's expression was a little hesitant, "You, have you faced the ancient dragon in person?" ”

"The honorific titles are all used." The pork chop hugged the fish head and complained.

"Well, haven't I told you about this?" Gordon took a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment, and then told Hayatta about the encounter with Lan Long.

"That's amazing!"

Hayata's eyes flashed, "Master said that even a high-ranking hunter can't help but feel fear when he stands in front of Gu Long, and his legs are weak, did Gordon's predecessor actually take the initiative to invite Lan Long to fight?" ”

"At that time, this guy was just a meow who didn't know how to live or die." The pork chop swings its paws and dismantles Gordon's table.

Gordon was also embarrassed by Hayata's adoring gaze, he cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Ahem, it's all in the past.

Has Hayatta ever been to Locklac? ”

"No."

"At the southern end of the desert, there is a vast sea of sand, where the sand is extremely dry and fine, and the quicksand is so heavy that it is difficult to walk.

Locklac was built on a large and intact rock platform in the middle of the sand sea.

The only way to get there is to take an airship or a sand boat, well, a sand boat is a means of transportation that can travel on the sand sea. ”

"Uh-huh."

Hayatta listened attentively and reacted intimately so that Gordon didn't feel like he was singing a one-man show.

"In the midst of the sea of sand lives a huge ancient dragon, the Fengshan Dragon, which appears every year along with the monsoon and sandstorms, passing through Locklac.

In order to prevent the Fengshan Dragon from colliding and damaging the rock platform, the Locklac Guild will send a sand fleet every year to intercept it.

For countless years, it has become a symbol of courage and prosperity in Locklac, and the most recognizable of all ancient dragons.

After all, it happens every year. ”

Hayatta was curious, "I can understand 'courage', why do you say that the Fengshan dragon is a symbol of 'prosperity'?" ”

"The Fengshan dragon swims in the sand sea, and its huge body will turn out the nutrients and minerals buried deep in the bottom of the sand sea, so that it will always be accompanied by a large number of sand fish.

Although I also think that it is reckless for a bunch of fishermen to follow around to fish while the hunters are blocking the Fengshan Dragon, isn't this "courage" and "prosperity" both reflected? ”

Hayata: "."

"In addition, the Fengshan dragon is a filter-feeding organism that swallows large amounts of sand and gravel, filtering through the organic matter and minerals contained in it.

These minerals combine with certain substances in its body and precipitate from the respiratory holes and sweat glands on its back to form special ores.

It's the kind that Mr. Hao Shang intends to acquire.

While the hunters stopped the Fengshan Dragon, they would also try to climb on it and dig up those precious ores, for which hunters became rich overnight almost every year.

This battle of interception and harvest is the so-called 'feast of the great desert'. ”

"I see." Hayatta nodded knowingly, "What about the Harvest Sacrifice?" ”

"Because of the 'feast', every year when the monsoon comes, a large number of merchants and tourists come to Lockhaek, which greatly boosts the economy there.

Over the years, a regular festival called the 'Harvest Festival' has been formed.

It is said that if you go to Rockhack during that time, you will have the opportunity to buy very valuable goods at low prices from foreign merchants. ”

"Looks like a lot of fun!"

"So, do you want to accept Mr. Haoshang's commission, what do you think, Khayata?"

Hayatta thought for a moment and said, "To me, the blueprints for the 'Nanban Knife' are a pretty good thing, but it's not worth making a special trip to Locklac.

However, if we are going to Locklac to participate in the harvest festival and the 'gluttonous feast', it seems good to have a blueprint for nothing?

Does Gordon Senpai want to go? ”

Watching Hayatta carefully hide the look of anticipation in his eyes, Gordon suddenly realized that this guy seemed to position himself as a "dispensable" presence in the team.

Always worried about causing trouble to others.

So, he smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, just think about yourself, do you want to go?" ”

"I want to go!"

"Then let's go!"

When Gordon and the others inquired about the location of the trading ship, they came to the port.

The merchant was already standing on the barge next to the trading ship and waiting.

Noticing the approach of the two and a cat, the wealthy merchant smiled and stuffed the account book in his hand into the placket of his shirt and put it away.

"Have you decided you want to join the feast?"

Looking at the former's confident expression, Gordon was speechless, and deeply realized the "treachery" of this wealthy businessman.

This may seem like a transaction, but it's actually a guide.

The drawings of the Nanban Sword were dispensable to him, and they were far from being a necessity for Hayata, but it was on this basis that he proposed the harvest sacrifice and the Great Desert feast.

This guy should have confirmed that he and Hayatta are in a state of "walking around" through previous conversations.

And how many young people who have nothing to do can refuse such an interesting thing as a "gluttonous feast"?

Coupled with Fengshan Long's attraction to himself who had come into contact with the ancient dragon, and considering the possibility of opposition from his female companion, he threw out the bait of the Nanban knife drawing.

In this way, his participation with Hayatta has become a matter of chance.

"You've calculated it." Gordon shook hands with the wealthy merchant and said angrily.

"You can see it." The wealthy businessmen did not mean to hide it.

"I can't guarantee anything else, whether it is scales, rock shells, special ores, colored crystals, and abyss crystals, I will buy all the things collected on the Fengshan Dragon's body at a price higher than the market."

Hayatta on the side also realized something.

She pursed her lips and pretended to be surprised: "Colored crystal, abyss crystal? It turns out that these can also be collected from the Fengshan Dragon? ”

Hearing the word "also", Hao Shang's eyes lit up, and he pretended to be unintentional and said, "Miss Hayata, have you ever bought these ores somewhere?" ”

"I've found pure crystals on the Odd Faces." Hayatta pulled out the pure crystal she had used as a talisman and shook it.

Haoshang: "."

Gordon on the side couldn't help grinning, this is revenge and showing off from the Chosen One.

(There's still tonight, paralyzed.)
