Julius looked up and glanced at Gordon in surprise.

His thoughts were the exact opposite of Gordon's.

In Julius's opinion, Gordon and the others fought off the cologns before the village could suffer, and more importantly, no one paid with their lives.

This "perfect" result is undoubtedly above them.

"Gordon, and Julius, the old man sees where you're next."

This sudden sentence made Gordon and Julius look stunned, and they couldn't help but look up at the Great Elder.

The giant's sunken eyes were hidden under his long eyebrows, making it impossible to see his eyes.

"Danger and disaster will always accompany you, the footprints of the ancient dragon species, and your steps are staggered, only the sword in your hand, and the companions beside you, can help you split the sad future."

"Great Elder?!" Amos, who was always very calm, exclaimed.

The master craftsman also took two quick steps forward with his umbrella, "Great Elder, is this too early?" They are still too young. ”

Gordon and Julius were a little confused.

Although the Great Elder's prophetic words sounded a little scary, looking at the appearance of the master and Amos, this passage seemed to have a special meaning?

"Being young is not a problem."

The Great Elder looked down at everyone, "Their strength has reached the corresponding standard, and their courage and courage have been confirmed in the battle against the ancient dragon race.

They already have such qualifications. ”

Seeing that they still wanted to say something, the Great Elder said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the old decay will not immediately put the real burden on their shoulders, they are still growing." ”

The master and Amos looked at each other and said no more.

The Great Elder took the huge sword beside him that was famous as the "Old Cutting Knife" and smashed it to the ground.

In the entire Great Old Hall, a thunderous sound echoed.

"From today, Gordon, a five-star hunter, and Julius, a five-star hunter, will be promoted to a six-star hunter. Promote the four-star hunter Hayata, and the four-star hunter Nadia to the five-star hunter. ”

Leaving the Great Hall and walking on the long stone steps, Gordon's mind was still a little confused.

Why did he suddenly get promoted to the "top position"?

In fact, it wasn't just the two who were promoted to six stars, even Hayatta and Nadia were a little confused.

"Master, it's only been more than two months since I was promoted to a four-star, and I haven't accumulated enough basic tasks, is this okay?" Hayatta asked Amos in a whisper.

Amos smiled bitterly and said, "The Great Elder naturally has this power, that's right, you are a five-star hunter who is less than twenty years old. ”

Speaking of this, Amos paused for two seconds and said in distress: "When I submit the report, I should downplay the role played by the two of you in the battle against the Qilin.

Ayata, you can better say that Gordon's side is really in danger, and I can only hope that the Great Elder will not break his promise and give you some more time to grow. ”

"Uh, what's the point for that?" Gordon couldn't help but ask.

The master craftsman who walked slowly on the side took over from Amos, explaining: "Hunters of the six-star level and above, the so-called 'high-ranking hunters', in addition to taking tasks on their own, must also respond to the guild's call.

For example, the Ancient Dragon Observatory found traces of the ancient dragon's abnormal migration in a certain place and reported it to the guild, and the guild had the right to call any high-ranking hunter to investigate.

This type of appointment is mandatory and generally cannot be refused without a special reason. ”

When Gordon heard this, he couldn't help but recall that when he was in Locklac, before the Spirit Mountain Dragon appeared, the mustache guildmaster of Locklac forced the three high-ranking hunters to go to the depths of the sand sea to reconnoitre.

Maridan is one of them.

This doesn't happen to the next hunter.

Even if you are a five-star hunter and want to pick mushrooms for a lifetime, no one can force you to do anything.

"Will the guild send hunters to their deaths?" A rookie boy named Aiden leaned in and asked.

"Of course not."

The master craftsman shook his head and said, "The number of high-ranking hunters is scarce, and the total number of hunters in the continent is less than three digits, so we can't afford to lose."

Therefore, the guild's requirements for the upper hunters are generally reconnaissance, and when these are investigated, there are very few cases where the hunters are required to confront the ancient dragon head-on.

Even if there were, they would often gather multiple high-ranking hunters to accompany them, or rely on the Fortress to fight. ”

"Then Master, why did you fight with that unicorn?!" Hayatta couldn't help but ask Amos.

Amos explained helplessly: "Due to factors such as size, the unicorn is a rare ancient dragon species, and it has been defeated by hunters alone many times.

In addition, not long after I was promoted to eight stars, the guild thought that I had such strength, but unfortunately there was an accident. ”

"You've been promoted to eight stars?! When and why I don't know! ”

"Didn't I say that?"

"Nope! Say! Pass! ”

“.”

Ignoring the quarrel between master and apprentice over there, the master craftsman said to Gordon and Julius, "The thing we are most worried about is 'accidents'.

Even for the most frequent species of ancient dragons, much remains undiscovered.

Whether it is reconnaissance or combat, it is extremely dangerous, and accidents are frequent.

If there are ancient dragon-related tasks that fall on you in the future, it is best to find other high-ranking hunters to accompany you, and under the cover of each other, the probability of coming back safely will be much higher. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Several of the people present had experienced the battle with the ancient dragon species, so they naturally knew what kind of terrifying scene the "extreme danger" in the master's mouth was.

They are walking natural disasters.

"Come and sit with me for a while, Julius, I want your help with something." The master suddenly changed his words and said to Julius, who had always been silent.

Julius, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was stunned for a moment when he heard his name, and quickly looked up and said, "Okay, Master." ”

Amos, who was being questioned by Hayatta on the side, hurriedly said that he wanted to rush back to the airship to Minagard City, so he would not join in the fun, and then left in a hurry.

Hayatta puffed out, but she couldn't do anything about him.

The group came to the master's studio.

Gordon, who was already quite familiar with his master, knew that the master and craftsman's so-called asking Julius for help should be just a rhetoric or an excuse.

Julius's experience as a teenager made his mind very sensitive.

The death of his two companions in the previous battle stimulated him, and the best way to help him out of his emotional trough was not to persuade him, but to find him something to do.

The master craftsman pulled out a letter from the paper drawings on the table.

"It was sent to me by an old friend of mine, a former clerk of the Barubare Guild who is now an explorer and is traveling around the continent to form his own brigade.

He asked me for help and said he wanted to find two hunters with him, so I recommended you and Nadia to him. ”

"But."

Julius was about to speak, but was interrupted by the master with a smile, "If you want to become stronger, exercising with your head and hunting repeatedly may not be the best way."

You've been staying in Dondoruma all the time, and even if you leave, you're only going to hunt in an airship to the hunting grounds, which limits your horizons.

Like Gordon and Anhill, go around the world and take a look.

The world is bigger than you can imagine, and maybe before you know it, you will become stronger. ”

(There's another chapter in the evening.)

Ps.

I've thought a lot about the way the protagonist is promoted to the top hunter.

I've thought about hunting a six-star monster like before, I've also considered fighting the ancient dragon as a "premise", and I've even thought about doing a collective assessment like the Naruto Shinobi exam or something (it's good water, but it's weird).

But then I felt that the upper hunter was not the same as the hunter who engaged in the ancient dragon, and the ancient dragon should only be the most dangerous part of his job.

Six stars are forced to engage in ancient dragons, and it is difficult to talk about seven, eight, or nine stars, after all, the forced quality of ancient dragons should be very high.

Just like the "Shame of the Ancient Dragon" like the Qilin, an eight-star hunter like Amos can also be seriously injured or even killed if he is not careful.

Therefore, the protagonist who was promoted by the Great Elder after experiencing the battle against the ancient dragon should be relatively reasonable and more consistent with the form in the game.

As for the other high-ranking hunters, they are more promoted by hunting regular six-star monsters.

In addition, the story line of MH4 will not be developed immediately, and the game mentions that the brigade commander and Julius are old acquaintances, so this is the story of their acquaintance before the plot begins.

As for Brother Sunshine, he has to brush up on the hunter level for a while, and now he is not even a "newcomer to the pen".
