Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 370 Is this the mindset of a rich heiress?

"Huh? The headquarters of the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau is actually this... dilapidated?"

Ziyuan looked disillusioned; even the branch in Lockheed was much more impressive than this.

Rachel felt a little itchy to hit Shion on the head, but she refrained from doing so and patiently explained:
"Dondoruma is an ancient city. The Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau was established when it was first built, and this is its original site. Of course, it has been expanded several times since then, but considering that it was originally built with a wooden structure, the subsequent expansions have retained this style."

After walking for a while, Breve suddenly pointed and said, "What's that huge building over there? The people going in and out all look like scholars... Hey? They seem to be looking at us?"

Kevin glanced at it and explained:
"That's the large library of the Royal Paleontology Scribe Team, which is also their headquarters. I remember that Lin Lin has a friend who is in the Scribe Team."

"As for why they're looking at us..."

Kevin also sensed something was off. Why were those scholars gravitating towards them after they discovered them? They'd never been this enthusiastic before.

Looking back, wow, there's a Jumpy and a Guga, two huge monsters swaggering down the wide sidewalk. If you don't attract attention, who will?

This was only because they came from the airport; the guild knights didn't stop them. Otherwise, Kevin estimated that they would have been surrounded by guards by now.

Even if the guards don't surround them now, at this rate, it probably won't be long before they are surrounded by a group of scholars with a strong thirst for knowledge.

"Ahem, let's put the introduction aside for now. Let's hurry up and get you to the middle-level residential area so you can settle in quickly."

"With so many people, how do you plan to settle them all?"

Rachel glanced back and saw Bref, Yoru, Shion, Date, Zacian, Shiro, Kakashi, Afu, and a 10-meter-class Jumper and a 6-meter-class Guga. As far as she knew, Kevin was just like her, living in a hunter's hut rented from the guild. How could he possibly accommodate so many people?

"It's not like I'm short of money. Buying a house right now is a piece of cake, isn't it? As long as there are houses for sale, I can move in in five minutes!" But before Kevin could speak, he was interrupted by another voice.

"You can stay at my place!"

Ziyuan raised her hand, attracting everyone's attention.

Rachel looked puzzled. "Where?"

After bringing this girl from Lokrak to Dongdoruma last time, hasn't Shion been staying with her? Where is she going to settle down?

Ziyuan scratched her cheek shyly:

“I was thinking that I would probably be staying in Dongdoruma for quite a long time, and I couldn’t stay with you, Master, forever, so I spent some time buying a small villa.”

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"We just bought it not long ago, and then you were assigned by the guild to go to Yukumo Village. It wasn't anything serious, so I forgot to mention it..."

Since Ziyuan said she had a place, Kevin didn't need to go and buy a big house. The group walked through the road made up of slopes, and after many twists and turns, they arrived at a four-story gray stone building with its own courtyard.

"Is this the place? Which floor is it?"

Bref looked him up and down and asked.

Based on his understanding of this young rich woman, it was unlikely that she would only buy one room, and one room simply couldn't accommodate Jump and the others, so Brave immediately asked for an entire floor.

Ziyuan blinked blankly, "This is the place, but what do you mean by 'which floor'?"

Bref had already tried to guess at the wealth and extravagance of the rich, but Shion's wealth and extravagance still shocked him. "This entire building is one of them."

Even Yoko couldn't help but complain, "You call this a 'small villa'?"

"Isn't this big enough? My house in Lockhart is much more spacious than this."

Night, Brave: ...

Okay, you win.

Ziyuan took out her key, opened the gate, and glanced back. She saw a Bobora truck slowly approaching from afar, accompanied by the Seven Star Piper, Rickres. Since he had neither an apprentice nor an apprentice's girlfriend among the younger generation, he offered to help watch over the luggage and strolled leisurely at the back.

"Alright, the luggage is here, let's go inside quickly!"

Kevin nodded, glanced at Rachel, and then said:
“Let’s help them too. Let’s hurry up and pack their luggage. We still need to take them to the assembly hall to register. After all, Dongdoruma is different from other places. Without guidance, they might be completely clueless.”

However, Rachel gave her a look that indicated her disapproval:
“Have you forgotten? This isn’t the first time Ziyuan has come to Dongdoruma. They can handle this little thing themselves; we old guys don’t need to help.”

Kevin paused for a moment, then looked at Ziyuan and the others, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

These young people are, after all, a team, and as the last member to join and the one whose skills are the weakest, it's questionable whether Ziyuan can fully integrate into the group.

In this situation, it's natural to give this girl more opportunities to foster a better relationship with the members, such as in this current accommodation, and to provide appropriate guidance and assistance.

"We probably won't have much time left to be tour guides."

Rickres, who had just caught up with Popo's truck, touched his bald head:

"The guild knights just came over. The Grand Elder wants to see the three of us. I guess he's going to announce Rachel's promotion."

……

The Grand Hall.

Lin Lin had already taken his leave, leaving only the Grand Elder sitting in the center of the hall, his face solemn, seemingly lost in thought.

"rustling"

In the quiet atmosphere, a slight movement caught the attention of the Grand Elder. He turned his head and saw that the newcomer was an old dragon-man who had shrunk into a small ball and had a diamond-shaped white mark on his forehead.

"You've already met that young man? How was it? He didn't disappoint you, did he?"

The Grand Elder was not surprised by the arrival of the old dragon man. He reached up and tugged at his beard, letting out a soft sigh:

"I have great faith in your judgment regarding Shancai. She is indeed a very outstanding young woman. With more experience, she should be able to shoulder great responsibilities in the future."

"If it weren't for that last piece of news he brought, I would be feeling much better right now."

"Oh? What news?"

The Grand Elder remained silent for a moment, then finally uttered two words:
"Taboo".
