Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 93: Apprentice Scribe Alva

It was only after the airship took off that Gordon realized that there were actually only three crew members on this airship named Yunfei, except himself and the pork chop who had just joined——

The person in charge of this observation project "Professor", the mysterious old man of the dragon race, seems to have positions in the three major organizations of the Hunter's Guild, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the Wang Li Paleontology Scholars Team at the same time, and he puts the exploration of the unknown above everything else. hardcore scholar.

Old Hei, an airship operator and mechanic, and a member of the logistics department of Wang Li's Paleontological Scholars Team, is a warm and forthright man, and Gordon gets along very well with him.

The last one was a thin young man named Alva, with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and a relatively introverted personality. He seemed to be a student of the professor and was responsible for assisting the professor in his observation and recording work.

When the airship passed through the low-altitude clouds, rose to an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and began to fly smoothly, the three started their work.

Old Hei took the helm and recorded the route in real time. The professor scurried around among the several instruments like a mouse, and Alva, the scribe trying to follow behind him, frantically recorded every set of data he reported.

Among the huge pile of instruments, the only thing Gordon could recognize was the telescope. After the monkey looked at the moon for a while, Gordon felt bored and had to go back to the cabin first.

The cabin is full of various supplies, instruments, and materials, and even the beds cannot be put down. Instead, there are a few simple hammocks.

Pig Chop was lying on one of the hammocks, moaning.

it got seasick

It seems that it is better to go by land as much as possible in the future.

After taking care of the little guy for a while, after it fell asleep, Gordon went into the mode of doing nothing. After a few minutes of daze, he couldn't sit still and returned to the deck.

The professor seemed to have just completed a round of data recording, and went back to the cabin to do his own research. Alva, who was also idle for the time being, was about to take out a book to pass the time, but was caught by Gordon.

Facing Gordon, who was 20 centimeters taller and nearly twice his weight, Alva shrank his neck subconsciously.

On the contrary, Lao Hei, who had time to look around while steering the helm, said, "Hahaha, you two are about the same age, you can talk more.

Alva, a nerd who shuts himself in the room and studies hard cannot become a full-fledged member of the scrivener team. Communicating with all kinds of people and obtaining knowledge and information is also one of the important tasks of the scriveners! "

Out of politeness, Alva bowed shyly to Gordon, and introduced himself with a voice like a mosquito, "Hello, Mr. Hunter, I am Alva, a trainee scribe of the scribe team, please give me more advice."

Gordon, who was just planning to come over to get acquainted, retreated if the other party didn't want to talk more, waved his hand and said: "Don't use honorifics, just call me Gordon, don't think I'm big, Actually, I was only nineteen years old."

"Huh? I'm also nineteen."

Finding that the other party was the same age as himself, Alva seemed to be more open-minded. He pushed the glasses that had slid on the bridge of his nose. Just as he was about to say something, he was attracted by the orange-red carapace and scales on Gordon's armor. Notice.

"This, this, this! Is this the carapace of a big monster bird?! Can I touch it?" The young scribe suddenly approached Gordon, showing excitement and enthusiasm that was completely different from his previous personality.

"Yes, yes." Gordon subconsciously leaned back, but did not refuse Alva's request.

"Obviously a creature of the family Ornithodontidae, but it has evolved a carapace similar to that of the Flying Dragon family. Although the shape is slightly different, this is already another expression that is completely different from scales! Ah! And this wing membrane! "

Alva stretched out his fingers and pulled a piece of wing membrane at the junction of Gordon's abdominal armor. "All kinds of thin and tough skin membranes are not covered by scales, so they are not as strong as flying dragons, but they are flexible like chiropteras."

Alva babbled like no one else, but Gordon's face was full of black lines.

This guy is really interested in these things, huh?

In order to prevent the other party from continuing to be "stunned", Gordon took the initiative to say: "Alva, have you never seen these carapaceous membranes before?"

Alva, who was awakened from his own world, realized that he was almost attached to Gordon's body. He hurriedly took a few steps back, and said with some panic, "Sorry, sorry, I was rude!"

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

Alva pushed his glasses, and continued: "The herbarium of the Minagarde Scholars team has these, but they are all samples kept in glass cabinets, and trainee members like us are not qualified to use them.

And those specimens are many years old, and they are not as fresh as you, Gordon. "

Fresh is okay.

Gordon jokingly said: "After you become a member of the official scribe team, you will have the right to issue tasks and hire hunters to protect you from entering the hunting grounds and observe the ecology of monsters up close. At that time, what you see will be the freshest." 'of."

"Is this possible?!" Alva's blue eyes seemed to be shining, "Do people like me have the opportunity to go into the wild and witness those magical creatures?!"

Looking at Alva's thin shoulders and chest, and at his slender arms and legs, Gordon touched his chin and said, "Are you running fast?"

"ah?"

"Just run. For example, when a monster is attacking, when a hunter and a monster fight together, you can't stand still and watch, right? At this time, you need to run quickly, and of course you can't run too far, don't be caught by other people. The monster got it."

"Yuan, is it like this? I'm not good at sports, but I can practice?" Alva's tone was full of unconfidence in himself.

"As far as I understand, the team members of the scribes also have to run around in the field, sampling, observing, painting, etc. If they are too weak, they can't do it.

In addition to reading books, you can also exercise more, such as squats, leapfrog and long-distance running. Although if you run fast, you may not be able to run away from monsters, but it is better than staying in place and waiting to die. "

"Boy Gordon is right." There was also a voice of agreement from Old Hei.

"Scholars can't just rely on the protection of hunters when they walk in the wild, many experienced scribes will choose to investigate alone.

They don't have the power to fight monsters head-on like hunters, but they can use their knowledge and the natural environment to speculate on the monster's action patterns. Coupled with a pair of hard feet that have been worn out, they can also save themselves from danger repeatedly.

Just like the one you admire the most, the leader of the research class of the third New World ancient dragon investigation team, even the professor said that he is a "wind-like man", do you think he is referring to his personality?

No, it's running speed. "

Alva: "."

The words between Gordon and Old Hei seemed to have opened a whole new door for him.

In the past, he always felt that the most important thing for a scholar was knowledge, his brain, and the most direct way to absorb knowledge to enrich his brain was to read books.

He is confident that no one of his peers reads more books than him, but this is not enough. If you want to penetrate the shackles of writing, witness and get close to those fascinating creatures, you must go to the wild.

Go wild with your own feet!
