Chapter 1588 [Extra] Female Heavy Crossbowman from East Doruma
The girl with a cold face walked down from the airship.
The hot, dry, and pungent sulfur-smelling air of the Latio volcanic zone was completely different from the warm sea breeze of East Doruma, which made her frown.
She subconsciously took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, but then she remembered that she might have to stay in this damn place for a long time.
All I can do is adapt to it.
He adjusted his beetle suit, which looked more like a party dress than a piece of armor, and the little hat with a cute lace trim.
He found a passerby and asked for the direction of the tavern in the meeting place, then hurried towards that direction.
As a hunter from other places, if you do not complete the registration at the local gathering place, you will have trouble whether you are renting a house or accepting a mission to enter the hunting ground.
Enter into the tavern.
Noisy laughter and shouting filled her ears, and a mixture of alcohol, food, and all kinds of messy smells hit her in the face, almost knocking her over.
This is the main reason why she doesn't like going to pubs.
Due to the hot climate, the smell of the pubs here is much more "horrible" than the public bars in Dondoruma.
She held her breath, ignored the curious looks from several hunters, and walked quickly towards the counter.
When I arrived at the counter, I found that there was someone handling business, so I had to be patient and wait in line.
She subconsciously looked at the person in front of her.
The other person was at least thirty centimeters taller than her, wearing a large orange-red monster bird suit, and the weapon on his back should be a giant scissor sword (red claw sword) made of daimyo shield crab materials.
A three-star level greatsword user?
Just as she was thinking, she heard the poster girl say to the great swordsman, "Mr. Gordon, there is one last vacant room in the meeting hall, but it is a double room, and the rent is 5000z per month. Would you like to rent it?"
"The last one, but a double room?" The greatsword user named "Gordon" seemed a little hesitant.
Is it because of the price of a double room, and your wallet is not full? The rental fee of 5000z is not expensive, right? The space is more spacious.
The female shooter was guessing in her heart. She really wanted to walk up and say, "I'll rent this one."
But everything has a sequence. At least you have to wait until the other party refuses before expressing your opinion.
Reject it now. Reject it now. Reject it now.
Gordon felt a little uneasy when he was stared at from behind. He felt that the latter was in a hurry to handle the business and was getting impatient because he had to wait for too long. However, he was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble for others.
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll rent it."
Female shooter: “.”
"The rent is 5000z, should I pay it now?"
"Yeah." Gordon paid the rent for the double room with a painful heart.
After getting the key, he stepped aside and said to the female shooter behind him: "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come in."
Female shooter: “.”
"Miss, is there anything you need?" Seeing that the female shooter was silent, the poster girl bowed slightly and asked with a smile.
".Well, I'm a hunter from East Doruma. I want to complete the registration first and then see if there is a suitable room to rent."
"Uh."
Gordon, who was about to leave, stopped.
The poster lady was also startled, then she bowed again with an apologetic look on her face and said, "Sorry, the last vacant room has been rented out.
If you have any needs, we can help you communicate with the village chief to see if we can find a suitable residence for you to stay in.”
The female shooter's expression was a little gloomy.
She didn't really want to, or rather, she really didn't want to stay at someone else's house, but there seemed to be no other way. She couldn't just sleep on the streets.
Gordon stopped and coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the huntress and the poster girl.
"Well, Miss, I just rented a double room. It would be a waste for me to live alone. If you don't mind, maybe you can move in."
"?"
"?!"
The poster girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Gordon again. The female shooter subconsciously took a half step back, looking at him as if he was trash.
Even the somewhat timid Pork Chop couldn't help but raise his paw and kick Gordon's knee, "What are you talking about, you pig?"
Gordon waved his hands, realizing that he had expressed himself incorrectly.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I wanted to give this double room to this young lady while I go find a place to stay.
To be honest, 5000z is still a bit expensive for me, I might be able to save some money by staying at a private residence."
"Oh, so that's what you mean." The poster girl looked at Gordon with a hint of blame, "Mr. Gordon, you should have made it clear from the beginning. It would be bad to cause misunderstandings."
Then she turned to the archer, "So what does this lady think?"
The female Sagittarius still had a slightly frown on her face. Although the misunderstanding was resolved through the other party's explanation, she was still not used to accepting the kindness of strangers.
But on the other hand, she really needed that room.
Even if we don't consider the reasons of habit and preference, as a Sagittarius, she really has a lot of luggage on this trip.
After thinking for two seconds, she briefly introduced herself and then said, “Hello, I’m Ansel Sterling, a three-star hunter from East Doruma.
Thank you for your kindness, but you have already rented this room, so there is no reason for you to give it to me for free.
I will sublease it from you for 7000z, is this okay with you?"
Gordon scratched his head. "That's not necessary. It's not a big deal. I just arrived at the counter half a minute earlier than you."
Ansier shook her head slightly and said bluntly: "I don't like owing favors to others."
The poster girl at the side tilted her head and watched for a while, then suggested, "How about this? Miss Ansel can treat Mr. Gordon to a meal as a thank you.
Both of you have just arrived at Naguli Village, and your hunter level is the same. You should be here to mine and dig for protective stones?
Take this opportunity to get to know each other, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation.”
Gordon and Ansel looked at each other.
Flying Beetle Set, the weapon is an unfamiliar heavy crossbow, but it doesn't look like a novice weapon. This lady who uses the heavy crossbow is quite powerful.
The giant bird suit and the giant scissors and greatsword are equipment that will not be outdated even if they are used to four stars. Judging from his age, he should not be older than me. Is he also a so-called "genius" level person?
"I have no objection." Ansel nodded.
Gordon also grinned and rubbed the pork chop's head. "I'm fine with that too. Just a reminder, we both have big appetites."
As he said that, he threw the key to the rental house to the other party.
Ansel took the key calmly.
Even if you are a peach-haired beast king, how much can you eat?
The two of them had no interest in making another appointment, so they just found an empty seat in the pub and sat down.
Ansel took the menu and glanced at it. She found that there were no special dishes in this place, so she marked all the recommended special foods and ordered two of each.
"Enough, enough. How can two people and a cat eat all this?" Gordon quickly called for a stop.
I had just had a couple of drinks with the blacksmith girl named Isana and had some snacks, so to be honest, I wasn't that hungry.
Ansier frowned, "It's just over 1000z. Didn't you say you have a big appetite?"
She originally planned to treat Gordon and the others to a meal worth 2000z to repay the favor.
"It's not that exaggerated," Gordon said helplessly.
He could see that this Archer lady, who had an air of refinement rarely seen in hunters, was really not short of money and didn't like to owe favors to others.
The food at the Hunter Tavern may not be exquisite, but it is definitely large in quantity and served quickly.
Soon, a table full of delicacies unique to the volcanic area was served.
Huge steaks covered with chili sauce, a bright red soup stewed with tomatoes, chili peppers and belly meat, and a glossy jelly made with the skin of the weevil dragon and a variety of spices.
Of course, there is also the most local specialty, spicy grilled lizard.
The small lizard, with its roasted and crispy skin, is sprinkled with a lethal amount of chili powder. To be honest, it doesn't look very good, but it is a perfect match with the ice beer brewed by the Earth Dragon Tribe.
Gordon grabbed a skewer of grilled lizard and put it into his mouth. Before he had time to chew it, he found that the host was sitting like a sculpture, not moving at all.
Out of politeness, he picked up another string and handed it to the other party, saying vaguely: "Eat it? This thing doesn't look very good, but it's really delicious.
Be careful, there are some tiny bones, but you can chew them up and swallow them, just like eating chicken ribs.”
Ansel's eyes twitched, and every eyelash was filled with rejection.
She doesn't like alcoholic beverages, spicy food, meat with lots of thin bones, and has no interest in exotic ingredients.
This spicy grilled lizard almost hit all her sore spots.
She habitually wanted to decline.
But suddenly I remembered what my brother had said to me - if you keep people at a distance, even those who could have been your friends will stay away from you.
From the time she entered the training camp to the time she graduated and became a formal hunter, she had gained some fame in Dondoruma, but she didn't have any real friends or partners to talk to.
Julius, who teamed up with Nadia, has been promoted to four stars. If I continue to be a lone ranger like this, I may never catch up.
Maybe I should try to deal with others.
Let’s start from this step!
She took a deep breath, her face tense, and took the skewer of spicy grilled lizard from Gordon.
Looking at the little lizard's burnt yellow eyeballs and the tiny teeth in its mouth, Ansel closed her eyes in pain.
He put the roasted lizard's head into his mouth, but found that he didn't have the courage to bite it off, so he took it out again.
Gordon was a little helpless, "If you don't want to eat, there's no need to force yourself."
"I'm fine." As if to encourage herself, Ansel adjusted her breathing.
Then he closed his eyes again, bit off the head of the roasted lizard in one bite, and chewed it quickly a few times while covering his mouth.
The hard and brittle ones are the skull and teeth, the sticky ones are the brain, the slightly tough ones are the tongue, and the juicy ones are probably the eyeballs.
Ansel shuddered violently, forcibly interrupted the associations in his mind, and swallowed the lizard head with all his strength.
"call--!"
She opened her eyes again and clenched her fists.
Great, I did it!
But before I could feel happy for two seconds, the pungent and spicy smell rushed straight to my head.
Ansel, who was not used to spicy food, started coughing violently. It seemed that she accidentally choked on the chili powder into her trachea, and her coughing became more and more intense.
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
Seeing this beautiful young lady coughing until her face turned purple, Gordon Pork Chop became a little panicked.
Zhuchop jumped off his seat, came behind her and patted her back.
Gordon also quickly picked up the ice bitter ale that the waiter had just brought and handed it to the other party, "Hurry up and drink a sip of cold one to wash it down."
Ansel subconsciously took the wine glass and took a big sip.
But she couldn't drink at all, and bitter ale tasted much more pungent than ordinary ale, plus she was coughing violently.
The big gulp of wine sprayed out as soon as it reached his throat, mixed with food residue, and sprayed all over Gordon.
Gordon: "."
It took her a long time to finally recover. Ansel, who always paid attention to her image, lowered her head and covered her mouth and nose. She could vaguely hear a faint whimper.
"Um are you okay? Crying?"
"I'm not crying!"
Ansier glared with red eyes and slammed the table angrily, "I just choked!"
"Wipe your nose, it's starting to run." Gordon handed her the towel.
Ansel, who had no image left, took the handkerchief viciously and blew her nose hard.
----------
P.S. This is a parallel world that has nothing to do with the main story. The "Ansil" in this world is similar to Ansil in personality, but there are still some differences, and there will be follow-up plots.
I want to emphasize that even in this world line where Anshiel's gender is changed, there is no romance between the two (but there can be some Shura field caused by misunderstanding?)
Hiss, the above comment seems to make sense. Let me think about how to write it in a more interesting way.
The Easter egg chapter puts a picture of the decisive battle scene. I just found an artist to draw it. There is a high-definition file in the group 0v0
