"Keogh, you invited me because you want to ask for something, right?"

"Huh?"

Faced with the sudden change in topic, Keogh looked up in surprise.

Looking at Keogh's prepondered expression after being carefully exposed, Gordon couldn't help but laugh: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, in fact, we are very similar."

I didn't choose to come to Jiangbo Village, but went to Minagarde, and when I first went to the big city, I didn't know the place well, so I had to rack my brains to ask for help.

With the small savings you have, you invite the veterans to drink and find out the information about the monster.

Volunteerly reduce your share of task rewards, join someone else's team, and gain experience.

Bring back the specialty 'Filial Piety' from the hunting grounds, get advice on weapon enhancements, and more.

Of course, in this process, I also received the selfless help and care of many seniors, which is a tradition among hunters.

It's not a shame to ask for help from your seniors, you can straighten your back, and one day you'll be a 'senior'.

You don't want your juniors to shrink back when they ask you for help, do you? ”

When Keo heard this, most of the crampedness and tension in his eyes dissipated, he stood up, took a deep breath, and bowed to Gordon vigorously, "Senior Gordon, can you tell me how to become stronger quickly?"

Although I have grown now, I am still not strong enough, and I want to respond to the expectations of everyone in the village! ”

"That's the problem."

Gordon pinched his chin, "Let me ask you a question first, Keogh, if the price of becoming stronger is to leave Jiangbo Village, how would you choose?" ”

"Huh?" Keogh froze.

"There is a way to get stronger. Listening to Rosie, you are already a four-star hunter, and this stage is about the same.

I can introduce you to the Dragon Calendar Academy to learn 'hunting style' and 'hunting skills', as long as it takes one to two years, your strength will definitely reach a higher level. ”

"One to two years?" Keo stammered, and then shook his head decisively, "No, Jiangbo Village is now in a stage of rapid development, and I can't do without it."

Everyone in Jiangbo Village takes such good care of me, this is already my home, and the purpose of my becoming stronger is to abandon Jiangbo Village at the price, which I can't accept. ”

And so it was.

Gordon muttered to himself, then continued to propose, "What about Rosie and Eddielika?" How about discussing it with the village chief and them? ”

Keoh smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Gordon, you may not know that I am actually the only resident hunter in Jiangbo Village, and Rosie and Edirica are not.

As my companions, they have been active in Jiangbo Village more frequently in the past two years, but the people who really benefit from the village are me, not them, and it is impossible for me to force my own responsibilities on them and then walk away.

The most important thing is that an old gentleman recently expressed his willingness to support Jiangbo Village, provided that he provided a large number of various specialties and materials, and now is the time when the village needs me the most, so."

Gordon glanced at the huge package, "So you get up early and hunt alone until midnight?" ”

Keoh bowed his head.

I glanced at the equipment on Keo's body again, the Sharon armor, and the Blue Speed Dragon King Dagger (Piece Hand Sword), which may be quite suitable for a three-star hunter, but for a four-star hunter, it is obviously a bit outdated.

Don't you even have time to upgrade your equipment in order to complete the task of building the village?

Gordon didn't know what to say.

This guy obviously belongs to the kind of person who is good to me and I am better to others, and Jiangbo Village is led by such a village chief, and the villagers are all enthusiastic.

From the time he first arrived, the villagers took care of the young Keoh, and as he grew up, Keo naturally worked hard to reciprocate, and the villagers who witnessed Keo's efforts became more and more loving and close, and Keo became more and more desperate

Is this a virtuous circle or a vicious circle?

"I said Keogh"

Looking at the young man who couldn't hide his tiredness and his eyes were a little dark, Gordon said helplessly: "I think that what you need more now is to rest for a few days than to think about how to become stronger quickly." ”

"Not yet, Mr. Gordon, the special matsutake mushroom in the dense forest is about to pass the season, the number of spirit antlers is not enough, and there are still many gaps, if you don't hurry up, the order will be broken." When it comes to completing tasks for the village, the young man is particularly paranoid.

Gordon sighed lightly, he patted Keogh on the shoulder and stood up, "At least sleep well tonight, I won't continue to bother, as for the way to become stronger or something, let me think again." ”

Keogh pursed his lips and nodded, "I see, thank you very much, Mr. Gordon." ”

Sending Gordon out of the house, Keogh looked back at the huge package.

Before going to bed, let's sort it out."

Keoh, who had fallen asleep near dawn, felt in a daze that someone had dragged him out of the warm bed.

But he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, and his heavy eyelids opened the slits, and he fell asleep again.

I don't know how long later, Keogh, who opened his eyes again, sat up abruptly and blurted out, "It's over!" I don't want to pick the specialty matsutake mushroom anymore, thank you! ”

Then he was pushed back to the bed by a pair of big hands.

"Huh?"

Rosie's big face poked into his line of sight, and the expression of this big blond man, who was always giggling, was extremely serious and even a little angry at this time.

"Mr. Gordon has already told us that he is collecting materials alone until midnight, and that 'you are the only one who is the resident hunter, and it is you, not us, who is favored by the villagers' or something, Rosie is very angry."

Edrica, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, said in a flat tone, "Of course, me too. ”

"Uncle Ben said why haven't I seen you recently, it turns out that you have been secretly running out to collect materials alone? What do you think of us! Rosie yelled.

Keogh's face froze.

Only then did he realize that he was not lying at home, it seemed that this was the house of the village doctor?

Hearing the movement inside the house, the doctor and the village chief who were waiting outside ran in, and it seemed that there were more people blocking the door.

The old doctor of the dragon clan quickly checked it for him, nodded to the village chief and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm too tired, I need to replenish nutrition and sleep, it's best to recuperate for a while." ”

The village chief nodded solemnly.

After the doctor left, the chief of the village looked at Keoh.

"Village Chief."

Keogh whispered, "I know what you're trying to say, but if you don't hurry, you really won't be able to meet the delivery date." ”

The village chief said seriously: "That's not important, the village pursues development, but it can't be at the expense of anyone's health."

I'll go and talk to the old gentleman if he can give him some time, and if he can't, I'll have to apologize for canceling the transaction. ”

"Are you blind? Isn't there still Uncle Ben?! Rosie shouted, "Uncle Ben doesn't like collection tasks, but it's not that he can't collect!" ”

"But."

Edrica interrupted him, "I'll help too, isn't there something more important for you to complete than collecting materials for delivery?" ”

"That's it! Uncle Ben traveled thousands of miles to Kokot Village to help you collect intelligence, and gave you the qualification to challenge that guy, don't you prepare well for Uncle Ben and run to pick mushrooms in the middle of the night?! ”

"What are you going to challenge? If you want to go to our hometown to gather information, would you mind telling me about it? Gordon asked with a smile as he pushed open the window from the outside, leaning on the windowsill.
