In fact, Gordon didn't think much about the benefits of this mission.

Hunters who have been promoted to the top have gained glory and social status, and while enjoying far better welfare than ordinary hunters, they must also take on more responsibilities.

In both the Old and New Worlds, the High Hunters are obliged to accept guild summons and assignments, which are often dangerous and lack of oil and water.

Take, for example, Gordon's mission.

The total reward is 64980z, of course, this reward cannot be considered low, but if you want to convert it, it is almost equivalent to 1.5 to 2 times that of hunting dragons.

But the danger between the two is not at all on the same level.

The upper hunters are generally not short of money, and no one will go to the trouble of the ancient dragon species for these sixty or seventy thousand z.

Of course, the purpose is the ancient dragon material, which is another story.

Just like Locklac's annual "Gluttonous Feast of the Great Desert", if the sand boat group recruits manpower from outside, there will be no shortage of hunters who would rather not be paid and take the risk to participate.

However, Gordon and the others did not hunt the steel dragon this time, and even the battle did not last too long.

I didn't have a broken tail, a broken horn or something, and the materials I harvested were just a few scales picked up on the ground, and some unknown crystals that were originally attached to the steel dragon's body.

It can't be said that nothing is gained, and it can only be said that talking is better than nothing.

Gordon Hayatta didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't expect much from it at first, after all, this is the nature of the work of a high-ranking hunter.

So when they heard the commander-in-chief say that there was an "extra reward", the two of them felt a little surprised, and Pork Chop and Xianglan also came over curiously and grabbed on the edge of the huge command platform, wanting to see what the so-called extra reward was.

"You have completed the task perfectly, and those of us in the rear must not be stingy." The commander-in-chief smiled and took out a few rough stones decorated with beads and placed them in front of the two of them.

"These five rough stones are very large and of good quality, and they should be able to polish quite good decorative beads, so let's use them as a bonus for this mission."

Gordon picked up a rough stone and looked at it a few times, and smiled, "This quality rough stone is not common, so you're welcome?" ”

"When did I see you polite?" The commander-in-chief glared at him.

"Hayata, put it away!"

If it's money or something, Gordon doesn't care too much, but things like high-quality decorative beads are definitely attractive to hunters like them who are already difficult to go further in terms of equipment.

Khayata smiled sweetly at the commander-in-chief, and without giving him a chance to regret it, he quickly put away the rough stones.

"Ah, by the way, Commander-in-Chief, you are well-informed, do you know what this is?" Gordon took out a few more pieces of dark purple ore from his bag, with a texture between crystalline and metallic.

The Commander-in-Chief took a piece and carefully observed the formation, "I've seen this kind of thing twice, it's a crystallization with high energy, and it seems that it only appears in those extremely powerful ancient dragon individuals.

We named it 'Dragon Vein Stone', but as for the specific function, it is not clear due to the small number of samples.

"Sounds a bit like a dragon vein crystal? Is there a connection between the two? Hayatta asked curiously.

"I don't know." The Commander-in-Chief shook his head slightly, he would never make random comments in areas he did not understand.

"You can go to the head of the second phase of the regiment and ask what he might be able to research."

Gordon and Hayatta looked at each other.

It just so happened that the newly acquired high-quality beads also needed to be taken to the processing house for identification, and the report and inquiry on the commander-in-chief's side were almost complete, so they took their leave and left.

The three of them and the two cats plan to go to the Bobcat Pavilion to have a big meal first, and treat their stomachs well.

On the way to the Bobcat Pavilion, they met Lania, who was leading a patrol to maintain law and order.

There was nothing going on, but Xianglan suddenly ran out, grabbed Lania's trouser legs, and innocently said with round eyes that she wanted to learn the art of throwing knives from her.

He also said that in the process of fighting the steel dragon this time, a certain scrivener team member showed a very amazing throwing knife throwing technique, and accurately inserted the throwing knife into the wound of the steel dragon.

Meow~, it must be because the technique is too good, the scrivener must not have taken advantage of their inattention, sneaked to the steel dragon and threw the flying knife in his face.

Rania, who knew well that the throwing knife technique of a certain scrivener team member belonged to the level of pure face reading five meters away, and her face darkened.

Alva's face turned white, anyway, the next dinner party was nothing to do, and it was useless to hide it, as a former sheriff in the dark night, she was proficient in torture techniques.

Looking at the dejected back of Alva who had been taken away, Hayatta rubbed Xianglan's head repeatedly.

I don't know who this kid learned from such a disdainful character.

Some people say that the personality of hunting cats will gradually become like their owners, but Hayatta thinks that this is pure nonsense, if you have to say it, but the personality of Xianglan's sister Caryophyllum is somewhat similar to her.

The number of people is reduced by one, and the three-person dinner is about to turn into a two-person date, and the pork chop already wants to drag Xianglan to withdraw.

But they ran into another group of people at the Bobcat Pavilion - where the alcohol squad was eating and drinking.

Seeing the two of them, Ted waved his hand at the top of his voice and asked them to sit together, and Gordon Hayatta did not refuse, and they hadn't drunk together for a while.

After shouting and adding a few dishes, Gordon pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the drunkards amusedly, "Why, it's rare for you to come to the Bobcat Pavilion."

Wouldn't it be better to drink wine at the Star Ship's Guild House? ”

Ted, who had grown a beard, wiped his mouth and wiped away the foam of the ale on his beard, "We can't drink it every day, can we?" ”

Pork Chop stared at the huge wine glass he was clutching in his hand, "Unconvincing meow." ”

"It's just ale, the alcohol content is less than ten, soft drinks, soft drinks!" Maca on the side waved her hand indifferently.

Hayatta pursed the corners of her lips and did not comment on this explosive statement.

After eating, drinking, and chatting for a while, the topic naturally led to their respective tasks.

After listening to Ted's explanation, Gordon learned that the alcohol team had accidentally discovered the hair of the Flame King Dragon during their return trip from the end of the Dragon Shattering Mission.

There was no actual contact between the two parties, but this undoubtedly proved that the Yanwang Dragon had already targeted the Molten Mountain Canyon.

After Ted and the others learned about the activation of the ancient dragon and the "light of life", they also said that they would pay special attention.

At this moment, even if it is an ordinary mission, it is possible to encounter an ancient dragon running around.

It's okay to say to a high-level team like alcohol or silver edge, even if it encounters, there is a certainty of a safe retreat.

But the young hunters of the Fifth Regiment are not easy to say.

Gordon plans to talk to the Commander-in-Chief later, and perhaps it is time to open up the restrictions so that the young hunters can learn more about ancient dragons, so that even if they encounter ancient dragons unexpectedly, they can have a little more ability to protect themselves.

"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot, we came back from this trip and brought a souvenir for the pork chops, at Babaka's." Suddenly remembering something, Oshura put down the wine glass in her hand and raised her chin towards Babaka.

"Meow? Give a souvenir meow below? The pork chop holding a fish sausage and gnawing on it was stunned.

"Kababa!"

Strangeface jumped out of his chair and pulled out a large bottle from his bag, which was stuffed with moss and some glow-yellow slime molds.
