Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Due to the special nature of the Scorpion S suit, which releases toxins to the user, even if it does not cause any irreversible effects on the body, it will still be somewhat uncomfortable to wear on a daily basis.

Now that they were in a safe city, Orlan did not move around fully armed. Instead, he put his protective gear into the equipment box, changed into his regular clothes, and also put on his new dragon leather coat (similar to this one).

"Rent a cabin? To store your luggage?" Muti blinked, then realized what was happening and said with a smile, "No, no, you can just stay at my house. I have guest rooms."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Orlan's expression was a little stiff.

Although they are hunting partners, good friends, and even brothers, they are still of the opposite sex. Living in each other's house, even if it is only temporarily, will be somewhat inconvenient.

"It's okay, just live in my house!" Muti's attitude was quite firm.

At this moment, all she could think about was that it would be difficult for Grandpa Amos to teach her a lesson if Orlan was around!

Olang couldn't persuade her, but he didn't plan to live in Muti's house. Fortunately, he and Seabuckthorn didn't have much luggage. At most, they could visit Muti's house first and then go to the meeting place to rent a hunter's cabin later.

"Good big meow!"

A luxurious mansion on the side of the road attracted Seabuckthorn's attention.

Olang, who was discussing with Muti whether he should buy some souvenirs, turned around when he heard the voice and was also shocked by the mansion, or manor, that occupied most of the street.

He could say without hesitation that this was the largest and most luxurious man-made building he had ever seen in his life.

To protect against wind and sand, there are very few buildings higher than two stories in Loklak, let alone in Barubare, where there are only caravans and tents.

"What is this place?" Orlan asked curiously after stopping to look for several seconds. "Is it somewhere like the town center?"

"Uh..." Muti was silent for several seconds, as if he didn't know how to explain. "This is the Sterling family's mansion. Do you know the Sterling Chamber of Commerce?"

"I don't know, meow." Seabuckthorn shook his head decisively. He never cared about these things.

Aolan had heard of the name before. "I've heard it's a large chamber of commerce. Rocklark also has a branch there. So this is their headquarters? No wonder."

"I guess so." Muti glanced at the astonishingly large mansion. "Our two families are quite familiar with each other. If you're interested, I'll take you inside for a tour."

Aolan and Seabuckthorn looked at each other.

"Forget it, meow. I'm afraid of being kicked out." Seabuckthorn shuddered.

"Well, there's no need for that. We're not businessmen." Orlan politely declined.

It was already shameless enough to borrow Muti's favor and ask her teacher for swordsmanship lessons. There was no need to climb up the social ladder by relying on all kinds of relationships.

Muti wanted to explain something, but seeing that both Orlan and Seabuckthorn seemed somewhat reluctant, he stopped forcing the introduction.

The group continued to move forward. The scale of the city of Dondoruma was far from comparable to that of Lokrak and Barubare. After walking for more than 20 minutes, they came to a seemingly ordinary residential area. From here, they could see the huge stairs leading to the core area of ​​Dondoruma.

Muti's pace became slower and slower, and finally stopped completely. She was originally walking in front, but now she wanted to shrink behind Sea Buckthorn.

Aolan looked at her helplessly. "I understand that you're afraid to go home, but you have to lead the way. Otherwise, how will we know where to go?"

Seabuckthorn climbed up Muti's legs and onto her shoulders, patted her head and comforted her, "It's okay, meow. The boss is ready to take the scolding for you, meow.

Do you know why the boss put on that dragon leather jacket as soon as he got off the airship? It was to draw fire for you, meow!

"Is that so?" Muti looked at Orlan with emotion.

Orlan looked away slightly embarrassed.

With Seabuckthorn's comfort, Muti took another step and led them to a small building that was no different from the surrounding houses.

There is no decoration to be seen from the outside of this house, but the yard is very clean and it is obvious that the owner takes care of it regularly.

At this time, there was a light on in the window, obviously someone was at home. Muti swallowed his saliva, led his companions into the yard and knocked on the door.

Soon, brisk footsteps were heard from inside the door.

Muti was slightly startled. Grandpa Amos's footsteps wouldn't be so brisk. This seemed to be...

Before he had time to think about it, the door was pushed open, and the familiar figure inside made Muti cheer.

"Fish Ball!"

According to her original plan, she was to go back home and say hello to Grandpa Amos and get scolded, and then ask around for the whereabouts of her hunting partners. Unexpectedly, Yuwan was at her house.

She subconsciously half-crouched down and opened her arms. In the past, whenever she made this move, Yuwan would happily jump into her arms.

But at this time, Yuwan did not move at all, just staring at Seabuckthorn lying on Muti's shoulder, with a faint scarlet fighting spirit flashing in its eyes.

Seabuckthorn raised his paw and was about to say hello to his new friend and future partner when he shuddered violently.

Why do I feel like I'm going to be killed, meow?

Chapter 134 Take Me With You

The encounter scene, which should have been touching, froze for a few seconds. Orlan, who was standing by, noticed something and was about to speak up to help.

Another figure walked out of the door.

He was a tall old man with gray hair, looking to be in his sixties or seventies. His right arm was broken at the middle of his upper arm, but his eyes were still so sharp that people dared not look him in the eye.

What an imposing old man.

Orlan originally thought that Muti would be so frightened that he would tremble and stutter even when saying hello.

Unexpectedly, she cheered, picked up the motionless fish ball in front of her with one hand, opened her arms and hugged the old man, "Grandpa Amos!"

The old man's sharp eyes softened significantly. He raised his left arm and was about to pat Muti's back, but found that his arm was stuck by the large shield and rifle behind Muti, and he paused.

Seabuckthorn is not stupid. Since the family is reuniting, there is no need for it to move forward and it jumps off Muti's shoulder in advance.

Aolan rubbed Seabuckthorn's head and smiled at Yuwan, who was held in Muti's arms and looking at him over the latter's shoulder.

Realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood, Yuwan stopped getting angry and rubbed Muti's neck.

After several seconds, Muti finally let go of Yamos and Yuwan, but Yuwan did not let go of his claws and was still hanging on her body.

After the joy of reuniting with her family and friends subsided a little, Muti suddenly became nervous again. Fortunately, she remembered that she had brought a "target" to help disperse and attract fire.

"Ah! Let me introduce you. This is my hunting companion, and his hunting partner, Seabuckthorn.

This is Grandpa Amos, whom I told you about, and my hunting partner, Yuwan." Muti briefly introduced the two.

"Hello, old man, my name is Aolang." Aolang stood up straight, put his hands on his thighs and bowed, greeting the old man and the Elu named Yuwan seriously.

Sea buckthorn also quickly followed suit.

This polite and serious attitude added a touch of kindness to the old man's eyes when he looked at them.

Although he was once a hunter, he actually didn't like communicating with those guys who were noisy and approachable right away.

He prefers young men like Aolan who are well-mannered. Of course, it is undeniable that most of his favor comes from the sword on Aolan's back.

"Don't crowd at the door, come in." After saying this, Amos walked into the house first, and Orlan and the others followed quickly.

This is a two-story building, very spacious inside, at least it seems spacious to Orlang and his friends, although it is just an ordinary house in Dongdoruma.

Yamos asked Muti to take the guests to the living room and he went to make tea.

The furnishings in the house were not much different from before he left. Muti led Orlan and the others to put down their luggage, sat down on the sofa, then put Yuwan on his lap and helped comb its hair.

This guy has been hanging on her from the door to the sofa and never came down, but Muti has long been used to it. Her hunting partner has always been very sticky to her.

Soon, Amos came to the living room with tea sets and snacks on a tea tray.

Looking at those exquisite snacks, a somewhat absurd thought popped up in Ao Lang's mind - could these snacks be made by this old man himself?

"You're welcome. Please feel free to do as you please." Amos said after putting down the tea tray.

Muti quickly took the teapot from Amos and poured tea for everyone. Seabuckthorn, who was sitting by the coffee table, stretched out his paw stealthily, reaching for a piece of cake that he liked very much.

"Ah! That's right!"

After pouring the tea, Muti seemed to suddenly remember something and stood up suddenly. Yuwan accidentally fell from her legs, and Seabuckthorn was so scared that he shuddered and the snacks he had just picked up fell onto the table.

Muti ran excitedly to where she had put her luggage and took out a small and exquisite prop bag and a leather ivy hat from the package.

Handing the leather bag and hat to Yuwan and Yamosi respectively, Muti said with some pride, "I prepared this especially for you. It's made of Honglong leather!"

Yuwan, who had just climbed back onto the sofa, took the prop bag with surprise, but Amos's face instantly darkened.

Aolan was so shocked that he wanted to cover his face. "It would be fine if you just took out the gift, but why did you bring up Hong Long specifically? Are you looking for trouble?"

The reason I wore this leather jacket was to draw more attention to myself when Mr. Amos brought up this topic, but you jumped out first.

After she said that, Muti realized something was wrong. She turned her head stiffly and looked at Ao Lang, as if asking for help.

Amos, who was staring at Muti, subconsciously turned his gaze to follow her and then fell on Orlan's leather coat.

Amos had no knowledge of various leather materials and did not care about them, but a comparison showed that the new leather coat on Orlan was made of the same material as the leather hat Muti had given him.

The difference between a leather bag, a leather hat, and a leather coat

Amos narrowed his eyes slightly.

Olang shuddered. Although he wanted to share some of the firepower with Muti, why did he feel that there was something wrong with the old man's eyes?

Amos felt a subtle sense of unease. This kind of emotion had only occurred twice in his sixty-plus years of life, the last time being twenty or thirty years ago.

He stared at Orlan deeply for several seconds, then turned his gaze back to Muti, who was huddled up like a frightened crake, looking pitiful and worried about being scolded.

"."

The dissatisfaction in Amos's heart subsided instantly. He raised Muti by himself, and her parents could not compare to him in understanding this girl.

Therefore, he was sure at a glance that he had just overthought.

These are the two children.

They hunted the Boom Dragon together, and Muti prepared gifts for them using the Boom Dragon skin, so it was normal for the boy to get a leather jacket for himself.

The unhappiness had dissipated, but the anger that had ignited in Amos was still there.

He stared at Muti, "Boom Dragon? Huh? You said before that you wanted to go out and hone yourself and become a true three-star hunter.

So the 'real three-star hunter' you're talking about is just poaching a dinosaur and using its skin as a bag?"

Amos pointed at the leather prop bag in Yuwan's arms, but he chose to ignore his leather hat.

Yuwan hugged his prop bag tightly and turned around. From today on, this thing would be his most important treasure.

Muti stammered, "Th-that was...an accident."

"Accident? Miss Sophia explained the matter very clearly in the letter she wrote to me." Amos said coldly.

Orlan sighed silently.

In front of this old gentleman, Muti seemed to have forgotten how to apologize and admit his mistake. He stood up, bowed 90 degrees and shouted, "I was wrong! I will never do it again!" Ah!

"Sorry, it's my fault." Orlan stood up from his seat, bowed his head, and said, "I thought I'd take a chance, so I dragged Muti along."

"Sit down." Amos pointed to the sofa. "Don't even think about taking the blame for her. Even if it's true, as you said, that you were the one who wanted to take the risk, her biggest mistake was not to stop you and instead to join in the action."

Yuwan, who was rubbing his baby's diaper, also raised his head and tugged at Muti's sleeve, "Don't take risks like this next time, meow."

After saying that, it mouthed to Muti silently: Remember to bring me meow, I can protect you meow.

Muti smirked and nodded at it.

Although Amos didn't hear what they exchanged, he could guess from Muti's silly smile.

The veins on his forehead twitched a few times, and he stood up and slapped the man and the cat on the back of their heads several times.

Chapter 135 Wait a minute?!

The way Amos disciplined Muti was much milder than Oran had expected. It was just a few slaps on the head and a scolding.

To be honest, seeing Muti's expression of despair before, he thought that Muti would be punished by being made to kneel down and beaten to death with a wooden sword.

Well, maybe it’s because the old man feels embarrassed to use any harsh force with me as his guest here?

"Sorry to embarrass you." After slapping Muti on the back of the head, Amos nodded to Oran, temporarily putting the matter behind him.

Muti touched his head foolishly, thinking to himself: Bringing Orlan back was indeed a wise decision!

Aolang gave the old man an awkward yet polite smile, not knowing how to respond.

You can't just say "Good job!" or "Why don't you hit me a few times too?", right?

Sophia's previous complaint letter did not contain any specific information about Orlan and the others, so Amos only knew that Muti had a fixed partner and knew nothing more detailed.

He had originally wanted to get to know him better, but who would have thought that Muti would bring up the matter of the Boom Dragon himself? He couldn't help but scold him. Now that the scolding was over, it was time to get back to the original topic.

"Young man, are you from Barubare?" Amos sat back on the sofa and leaned back slightly.
