Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

"Lady Lilia, thank you for your exploration of the Fortress Heights. We have gained further information on the Black Eclipse Dragon.

However, there is one thing I don’t understand, and I would appreciate your guidance.”

Sensing the hidden meaning in the words, Lilia stood up, took a cup, and poured Lucy a cup of expensive coffee.

This coffee is extremely rare, but it is her favorite drink when she stays up late at night. It always makes her feel refreshed when she is tired.

Lucilla took it, but did not drink it directly. Instead, she took a deep breath and asked:

"I just read the report you submitted to our guild. It stated that you parted ways with Miss Bailong Yezi and allowed her to hunt a Black Eclipse Dragon alone as an emergency mission.

Aren't you being a little too irresponsible?"

Lilia picked up her cup, took a sip of coffee, and asked expressionlessly:

“How come you see?”

Hearing this, Lucilla's anger rose a little, and she said uncontrollably:

"Although the Black Eclipse Dragon is listed in the six-star dangerous mission list,

But you should know that even monsters with the same danger level have different levels of difficulty for hunters.

Among them, the Black Eclipse Dragon...

Even if you don't take action, it should be hunted by experienced six-star hunters or even higher-level hunters.

I think that setting the task of hunting him as a promotion task for five-star hunters is extremely irresponsible to our guild's hunters!"

Hearing these words of rebuke, Lilia's eyes did not show any ripples, but she gripped the handle of the cup tightly.

"It seems that you and Miss Bailong Yezi are good friends?"

"Since I'm here to bother you so late at night, I don't need to be so cautious...

We are soul mates who share a common ground!"

Lucilla answered resolutely.

Hearing this, Lilia smiled a little off-line.

"Hehehe, close friends and such, that's really the essence of youth..."

But soon, she responded seriously.

"Okay, Miss Lucilla, I understand what you mean. You think it was me who pushed Yezi to the edge of a dangerous cliff, right?"

"Well... that's about it..."

"Miss Lucilla, let me ask you a question. Have you ever heard of someone becoming a five-star hunter at the age of sixteen?"

Facing Lilia's somewhat off-topic question, Lucilla still answered seriously:

"No... not really.

I heard that in Kokot Village, nearly fifty years ago, a young man appeared who became a five-star hunter at the age of seventeen. He also seemed to have achieved the achievement of "Third Generation Hero".

But then it disappeared.

But I think even such a genius is not as talented as Miss Yezi."

Hearing Lucilla's words, Lilia was stunned. She looked down at her reflection in the coffee and seemed to recall a lot.

After a long while, she raised her head and said calmly:

"That's right. Not only that, Miss Yezi also participated in the ancient dragon crisis during the Hundred Dragons Night Parade in Yanhuo Village.

His master even set limits on his protective gear in order to train this hunter.

Because of this, I concluded that Miss Yezi is capable of completing this task that even ordinary six-star hunters find difficult to complete."

"But……"

However, before Lucilla could continue to defend Ye Zi, Lilia revealed the aura of a strong person and said majestically:

"Ms. Lucilla, as a scholar at the Monster Research Institute, you should know better than anyone that in recent years, there have been more and more cases of people being attacked by monsters in various countries.

The hunters' employment rate has not changed each year.

In this case, let a hunter with excellent strength and potential accept higher challenges and let him rise to a higher level.

It will be beneficial to her, the Hunters, and even the people she is responsible for protecting."

After hearing this, Lucilla's anger subsided a lot, but she still said unwillingly:

"...There's no need to be so anxious. What if she fails..."

After hearing the word "failure", Lilia's pupils shrank suddenly, but she immediately returned to normal. She turned her back to Lucilla and no longer showed her expression to her.

"The hunter death rate has never been lower, hasn't it? This is the honor of hunters."

"?!"

This directly angered Lucilla. She suddenly put the coffee cup on the table, not caring even if the hot water splashed on her hand.

"You're truly worthy of being a legendary hunter. You've seen so many storms and waves! I apologize for any offense tonight. Farewell!"

After some sarcastic remarks, Lucilla slammed the door and walked out angrily, leaving Lilia standing there alone.

However, what Lucilla didn't know was that Lilia's expression at this moment was sadder than anyone else's.

It was an expression of having lost everything.

In her heart, she hides a secret that she cannot tell anyone.

The calamity known as "Taboo" was something that ordinary scholars, not even some master hunters, could possibly explore...

Those who know the past here are just...

Lilia murmured:

"I'm sorry... but [that guy] is coming soon... Humanity is in danger, and I need to discover and train more powerful hunters...

My strength alone is far from enough..."

She wanted to tell Lucilla about the bitterness of living alone for fifty years and the real reason why she risked her life by offering the Black Eclipse Dragon mission to Ye Zi.

How she wishes to be understood and comforted by others.

But, she can't.

A look of sadness lingered in Lilia's eyes for only a few seconds before she drank the scalding coffee.

"Okay, the report isn't finished yet. It needs to be finished during tomorrow's morning meeting..."

Just as Han Xin thought before he traveled through time,

Perhaps there are unscrupulous poachers, selfish robbers and thieves in this world.

But in the final analysis, everyone in the Hunter organization has a sincere heart that cares for others.

But... everyone's expression may be different.

PS.

In order to facilitate the book's more realistic shaping of the world view,

Monsters are not divided into upper, lower, and G levels like in the game.

After all, the master-level Sauron in the game is more dangerous than the lower-level ancient dragon, which is really inconsistent with the real world view.

Of course, the following is just the author’s own understanding.

If you have different ideas and opinions from the author, please give priority to your own ideas.

I just set up this level division to make it easier to write stories. I hope everyone can understand it.

Please forgive me and it’s okay if you think the author is a Yunzi. It’s mainly for the convenience of readers to understand and read.

Therefore, the book sets the monster danger level as follows:

Lower position:

1★: Small monsters such as Thief Dragon, Dog Dragon, Giant Bee, etc.

2★: Weasel Dragon King, Great Thief Dragon, Dog Dragon King, etc., practice monsters,

3★: Thunder Dragon, Tengumon, Toxocara, etc., monsters with certain characteristics and difficulty in defeating; but they are not monsters that can dominate an area.

Upper position:

4★: Savage Jaw Dragon, Female Rathalos, etc., secondary map kings, or subspecies of three-star danger monsters, such as Scarlet Tengumon, Poison Dragon, etc.

(The latter monsters do not necessarily share the same ecological niche as the secondary map kings, but most subspecies are more dangerous to hunters.)

5★栮⑴sanwu⑺⒐⑹3II group teasing: Fire Dragon, Electric Dragon, Bubble Fox Dragon, Boom Dragon, Behemoth, Slashing Dragon and other map kings.

6★: A series of subspecies of Map Kings, such as the Blue Rathalos, Green Swift Dragon, and Black Horned Dragon (maybe they share the same ecological niche as the Map King, but are also more dangerous to hunters)

As well as sub-dragon species such as the Black Eclipse Dragon and Qilin, or extremely special ancient dragon species.

The ecological niches of these latter monsters are definitely higher than those of the aforementioned map king subspecies such as the Azure Fire Dragon, but they are not as good as ordinary ancient dragons, so they are classified into this level.

Of course, as mentioned in the main text, there are also differences between monsters of the same danger level, but the strength gap is not as large as that between six stars and seven stars.

Grandmaster:

7★ (Master, one star): Ordinary ancient dragons, as well as various powerful beings who are clearly rivals to ancient dragons.

For example, Steel Dragon, Flame King Dragon, Mist Dragon, Corpse Hazak, as well as Golden Lion, Tyrannosaurus, Explosive Dragon, and Tiger Dragon.

8★ (Master stars): A special individual of an ordinary ancient dragon, such as the Weird Overcoming Flame Steel Mist, the Flower Bride Corpse Set, etc.

There are various special individuals that are powerful enough to rival the ancient dragons, such as the Furious Golden Lion, the Angry Tyrannosaurus, the Crimson Lotus Exploding Scale Dragon, the Grumbling and Sky-shaking Tiger Dragon, etc.

As well as ancient dragons with more special settings but living in multiple places, such as the Sky Comet Dragon and the Sky Return Dragon.

9★ (Master stars): Various powerful ancient dragons that have been released from the ban and have their own maps, as well as powerful monsters such as the Mantis and the Dragon Tyrant that can rival the ancient dragons that have been released from the ban.

Beyond that: Above all, there is something called [Taboo].

Dawn: Chapter 204: The Groaner of Chaos

When Han Xin returned to the Thunder Wolf Dragon tribe, he captured a few beautiful sheep beasts as food.

However, since this trip was not a direct return from Elgard, Marutori was not brought with him.
