Now that they have decided to go to the Sand Sea City of Lockhak, Gordon and Hayatta are not prepared to stay in Tangia Harbor for too long.

Although there is still some time before the monsoon blows into the desert, there is always a good time to prepare and familiarize yourself with the environment.

Mr. Hao Shang admired their idea of being prepared.

And offered to say that if they wanted to go to Lockhack as soon as possible, he could help communicate and contact the airship.

"I always feel like you can't wait to throw us over." Gordon folded his arms and said with a wooden face.

"Hahaha, I don't want to make it as convenient as possible for you."

Mr. Haoshang said beautifully, "Lockhack's side will be very happy to get two strong reinforcements." ”

Gordon won't be flustered just because the other party slapped two sycophants.

"Come on, I'm still self-aware, in terms of strength, I may be pretty good among my peers, but compared to those experienced hunter seniors, it's too far behind."

When the wealthy merchant heard this, his face became serious, "Little Brother Gordon, you don't think about it, in fact, high-ranking hunters rarely participate in the 'gluttonous feast'.

In the sand fleet responsible for stopping the Fengshan Dragon, the four-star and five-star hunters can be regarded as the top combat power. ”

"Why is this happening?" Hayatta on the side frowned and asked, "Isn't it only the high-ranking hunters who are qualified to participate in the mission against the ancient dragon?" ”

"That's usually the case, yes."

Hao Shang patiently explained: "But the battle against the Fengshan Dragon is more special, and it is not very necessary to use a high-ranking hunter.

The Peak Dragon is huge in size and has a heavy carapace, and unless it targets certain weak points, it is extremely difficult for a hunter's weapon, even a high-level weapon, to deal effective damage to it.

The real main attacking force is actually the sand boat and the dragon boat.

Well, to be precise, the cannons, bed crossbows, and heavy weapons and traps like dragon guns.

That's why I invited Anhill to the 'feast' in the first place - as a marksman, he's also very comfortable with those heavy ranged weapons.

It's a pity that he is going to the Western Continent, and the itinerary is empty. ”

"But the experience and skills of the above hunter must be more advantageous, right?" Hayatta was a little upset about her master.

"Of course."

Hao Shang continued to explain: "Just like you said, the skills and experience of the high-ranking hunters, especially the experience of facing the ancient dragon, will play a big role.

Ordinary hunters will feel weak even if they see the Fengshan Dragon from a distance, and the upper hunters will not have this problem. ”

Speaking of which, the merchant gave Gordon a meaningful look, as if to say—that's why I like you.

"But, as you know, most of the upper hunters are busy, and the price of hire is quite high.

For the sandy fleet responsible for stopping the Fengshan Dragon, it is less cost-effective, and it is better to train local hunters.

The first time I participated in the 'gluttonous feast', I might be scared in the face of Fengshan Dragon, but the second, third and fourth times, will I be much calmer?

Therefore, the combatants of the sand fleet are mainly composed of low-ranking hunters who are local to Locklac and have experience, and most of them are two, three, or four stars.

Firing crossbows, artillery, and rushing to the back of the Fengshan dragon at the right time to dig for minerals is their main task. ”

Gordon pointed to himself, "So what is our role?" ”

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Haoshang's mouth, "I have higher expectations for you, as for what to do, just improvise."

Maybe you'll know when the time comes. ”

The name of "Wealthy Businessman" is not a joke.

The captain of a trading ship from Shikikoku has quite a good network in the port of Tangia.

This can be seen from the attitude of the previous Tangia drunkard president and the Kanban girls towards him.

With the help of his communication, Gordon and the others boarded an empty ship carrying precious items.

This airboat was supposed to take off and set off half a day ago, but in the face of the wealthy businessman, he had to wait until now.

The attitude of the merchants on the boat was even more enthusiastic towards them.

Even in the extremely narrow cabin, a small compartment was left for them.

Knowing that the merchant had misunderstood something, Gordon left the compartment for Hayatta and the pork chop, and ran to sleep in the hammock with the crew.

Anyway, the trip was only one day and one night, and it was over.

Crossing the undulating sand dunes of the Sexemer region (the old desert), the airship entered the sandy sea the next day.

It's a vast plain.

Due to the extremely fine and dry gravel and the almost non-existent presence of rocks, the dunes are difficult to form.

From the air, the sand surface is flat, the ripples are rolling, and the horizon is far away, as if connected to the horizon, almost like the ocean.

The name of the sand sea comes from this.

At some point, the friendly merchant who changed into a loose and breathable desert robe walked to the two people and a cat who were on the deck, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sand sea.

"Is this the first time the two hunters have come to Rocklac?" The merchant's tone was amiable and respectful.

Gordon had actually visited the sand city, and was even familiar with the local guild leader, but he didn't talk much.

Hayatta nodded.

"It's a really welcoming city."

The merchant sighed, "Don't look at it in the dry desert, but there is no shortage of water, as long as you do a good job of sun protection, it is a good place for vacation!" ”

"Is there any specialty from Locklac?" Hayatta asked casually.

"Of course there is, not to mention the special ore of the Fengshan Dragon for the time being, the precious spices with a very small output, the strange jewelry, the sand fish dragon liver, and the leather of the Sand Sea Monster are all good commodities!

Every year when the monsoon comes, the merchants of Locklac bring out their best goods.

At the same time, the merchants of the entire desert and even the whole continent will gather here, which is the real 'harvest festival'! ”

Hayatta was stunned when he heard this.

In fact, the special ore of the Fengshan Dragon only serves as an "introduction", and the so-called harvest festival is more of a grand event for merchants, tourists and local residents.

"Mr. Merchant went so early, what did he plan to buy?" Gordon asked with a smile.

"Hey, I'm mainly in the jewelry business, and every year I go to buy jewelry, and I bring some silk to sell it, and silk is very popular in Locklac."

Gordon thought no wonder.

The main reason why airboats are rarely used for merchandise transportation is that they are too expensive, but since they are jewelry, then no problem, the unit weight value of this thing is really scary.

At the same time, the merchant's words reminded Gordon of a special kind of jewelry.

- Ornaments, or as the hunters call them "beads".

These precious gems are similar to talismans, with mystical powers, and when embedded in equipment and weapons, they can provide hunters with additional protection.

High-quality beads, like talismans, are rare to see on weekdays, but in the Locklac Harvest Festival, where merchants gather, there may be a little?

If you're lucky, if you can get one or two, it's not worth the trip.

Ps.

The pit of beads is too deep.,There won't be a plot of "brushing beads" or even "equipping" in this work.,The sense of game is too heavy.。

At most, only a few will appear as an embellishment in line with the worldview.
