Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

However, this is not the case for the elite hunters who are able to come to the New World. They have already established a closer relationship with their Palico partners. They are comrades-in-arms, companions, and family.

Reya smiled and explained to Meliuchina:

"The young man and the old man you just mentioned are actually from the same race, called the Dragonmen."

"They have long lifespans, but their bodies gradually shrink as they get older, which is why they are small in stature."

Besides the pointed ears mentioned by Melyuchina, there are many other differences between dragon-people and humans. For example, dragon-people only have four fingers, and their feet are not human feet, but rather animal feet, etc.

While strolling through the circulation area, suddenly, a brisk female voice rang out beside me—

"Bai Feng, Re Ya, are you busy?"

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Bai Feng turned around, smiled, and nodded. Reya greeted him warmly.

"Ladia!"

Ladia is a beautiful, cheerful woman with dark skin. She is a member of the Fourth Survey Corps and the captain of the supply team at the base.

After greeting Bai Feng and Re Ya, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiliu Qina, and smiled with amusement:

"These two must be the legendary guests from another world? Hello, welcome to the base [Starry Sky]."

"But speaking of which, it seems the guests don't understand our language, do they?"

While Ladia belatedly realized the language barrier, Fujimaru Ritsuka also remembered that neither the other party nor many others in the base had been subjected to magic.

So, to the other person's astonishment, she took out her Druid's Staff and cast a general knowledge spell again, completely covering everyone in the stronghold, before smiling and greeting them:

"Hello, my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Ah, hello."

Ladia stared in surprise at Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips, then at the druid's staff she had put back, and exclaimed:

"Is this what they call magic? It's really amazing."

After her initial surprise, her gaze finally settled on the spatial fluctuations beside Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, her eyes sparkling as she said:

"And I really want storage space too!"

Chapter 268: Guild Leader, Lava Mountain Extra, and Nergigante Extra

At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka with a playful smile:

"Is this common where you live? If you could, could you sell me one?"

“The price is negotiable!”

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled apologetically:

"These were specially prepared for me by my companions. They're not very common, so I apologize."

"That's it..."

Ladia looked disappointed; it seemed she really wanted it.

"Squad leader, come quick!"

"Wait a moment!"

Hearing someone call her name, Ladia immediately perked up and smiled at them:

"You guys continue, I'll be going now. See you later!"

"goodbye!"

After saying that, he left full of energy.

After saying goodbye to Ladia, they strolled around the circulation area for a while before Reya led them up the stairs to the second floor, which was built against the cliff.

As soon as she got close, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately felt the temperature in the area rise, and the increasingly clear and frequent sound of hammering metal.

Upon reaching the top, she immediately saw a forge built by hollowing out a rocky mountain. The forge was bustling with activity, and as far as the eye could see, besides the busy blacksmiths, there were hunters dressed in weapons and armor.

"The second floor is the equipment forging area, which is the most important area for hunters."

At this moment, Bai Feng glanced at Reya and nodded to her.

"Ah, I see."

Reya seemed to understand immediately, and then smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Aibo wants to go into the forge to take care of some business. It's a bit stuffy inside. If you don't want to go in, you can wait outside for a bit. It'll be done soon."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Umeya Shiina exchanged a glance, nodded, and then smiled:

"It's alright, let's go in and take a look."

After entering the forge, Bai Feng became much more proactive, taking the lead and going straight to the forge's head, Trevor, who was also the leader of the second squadron.

Trevor was a burly, dark-skinned, bald old man with a wild beard and a pirate-like eyepatch over his right eye.

The moment the white wind appeared, Trevor grinned and said:

"I knew you couldn't wait even a little while, you little girl."

Bai Feng came to the forge for a simple reason: to acquire new equipment.

During the battle against the Zorah Magdaros, she obtained a considerable amount of materials from its back, which should be enough for her to craft a new weapon and armor primarily made from Zorah Magdaros materials.

However, the forging of equipment, from design to creation, is not a process that can be completed instantly like in a game, and the quality of the finished product largely depends on the skill of the blacksmith.

Therefore, Bai Feng went directly to Trevor, the leader of the second-generation guild who was the most skilled in the forging workshop.

"Don't worry, I knew you were coming, so I made time specifically to wait for you."

Trevor said with a chuckle.

Although he had specifically set aside time, most hunters knew that Bai Feng would definitely come to ask him to forge equipment, so they wisely refrained from doing so.

After all, everyone knows that Bai Feng is currently the strongest member of the investigation team.

Putting aside other things, Bai Feng basically carried out the most dangerous investigation missions, so no one had any objections to the privileges she enjoyed.

Upon hearing this, Bai Feng immediately smiled with relief and nodded gratefully to the other party.

At this moment, Trevor looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other person, and smiled:

"You must be guests from another world. Welcome, welcome."

He greeted her like that, but his gaze was fixed on Meiliuqina, or more precisely, on the armor she was wearing, his eyes filled with intense longing.

Mei Liuqina frowned slightly and said:

"What?"

"Ah, sorry sorry."

After realizing what had happened, Trevor quickly apologized and smiled sheepishly.

"I was very interested in the armor you were wearing, so I became a little fascinated by it."

"Is that so?"

Considering the other party's refined taste, Melyuchina didn't say much. Then, Trevor asked curiously:

"May I know how your armor was made?"

This wasn't a secret question, Meryuchina replied casually:

"It's nothing, it was woven from a part of my body and magic."

Part of the body? Magic? Weaving?

Trevor was completely bewildered and could only sigh in the end:

"Is this the technology from another world?"

"Ah, right."

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka was curiously examining the forge behind Trevor when she suddenly remembered something. She then took out a small pile of materials from her [Treasury of the Minister], placed them in front of Trevor, and asked:

"Can these be used to create something?"

Trevor glanced at it, then his eyes widened in surprise.

"This is... material from Nergigante!?"

"um, yes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded somewhat embarrassedly, because the source of these materials was not exactly honorable.

These materials were mostly dropped by Nergigante during its battle with Melyuchina the day before yesterday. They included Nergigante scales, relatively hard spines, small pieces of hard shell, and a little congealed blood, but not much of any.

Because a small bit of her hunter genes from the game was triggered at the time, she subconsciously collected these materials, but unfortunately she didn't know what they were for.

"Um……"

Looking at the excellent materials before him, Trevor fell into deep thought.

The materials dropped by Nergigante are undoubtedly top-notch for making equipment, but the problem is that the quantity is too small, making it difficult to craft anything.

At this moment, he happened to glance at Xia Lu at Bai Feng's feet, and his eyes narrowed instantly. He said:

"These materials are enough to make a set of Ailu equipment, but..."

However, the owner of these materials is not Hakufu, but Fujimaru Ritsuka, so he cannot decide the use of these materials on his own.

However, upon hearing him say that, Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed:

"Then please have a set of equipment made for Xia Lu."

"Meow?!"

Xia Lu immediately looked up at Fujimaru Ritsuka, her eyes widening in shock. Her round eyes, combined with her shocked expression, were incredibly cute.

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately bent down, smiled, and patted her head, saying:

"Anyway, I don't have any use for it, so I might as well give it to you. It will be helpful for your battle, right?"

Xia Lu immediately showed a touched expression and happily hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka's leg, saying:

"Meow~! Ritsuka, you're so kind, meow! Thank you so much, meow!"
