Chapter 308: Ailu's Secrets
"Let this guy walk to the right, and I feel some monsters that I don't want to mess with. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "Black Charcoal has adjusted everyone's course several times, "Large predators during the war period tend to be more short-tempered, and are especially sensitive to xenomorphs that step into their territory, even herbivores. ”
"Looks like we were lucky enough to find a safe place last night." Jia Xiao sighed, and at the same time looked at Xiao Ailu, who was full of grievances, "Having an accompanying Ai Lu as a companion really helps a lot." ”
Black Charcoal's distorted expression squeezed out a touch of pride: "Of course, the Ailu clan is an existence whose hunting talent is not lost to humans. ”
"Little brother Black Carbon, I've always wanted to ask, is 'Black Carbon' your real name?" Feng Chen picked out the mushrooms in his hand, threw some of them that looked poisonous on the ground, and ate them all into his stomach by Dajin.
"Of course not," explained little Elu, "the various ethnic groups of the Elu have their own language systems, and we hired servants to use a code name in the human language. This code name may have been given by the first employer, or it may have been made out casually. ”
"Is it taboo to use your real name?" Jia Xiao also became interested in the culture of the Ailu clan. "No, it's just hard to read." Black Carbon shook his head, "It's like my name in the clan is Nigurig Galabenno. Elu demonstrates that most of the pronunciation of the name is common to humans, but there are a few sounds that are only made by Elu's oral anatomy. Feng Chen and Jia Xiao tried twice, but they had to give up in a daze.
"Does it have any special meaning when it feels so profound?" grabbed an orc, and sealed the dust with a curiosity to break the casserole and ask the end. The little hunter has spent so much time south of the Great Snow Mountain, but in fact, there are not many Ailu people who have really come into contact with them, one is the cat or two cats that have only seen one or two sides, and the other is only Amphinis. Although the old cat misbehaved, he was everyone's instructor after all, and Feng Chen didn't dare to ask questions at will.
"Well, translated into human language...... "Eru thought for a moment as she bit her lower lip, "I guess that means 'black charcoal'." ”
The two teenagers coughed violently.
"But then again, Brother Black Tan is Uncle Zhong's hired entourage." Jia Xiao asked, "If you participate in the competition together...... Is it also allowed by the Hunting Rite Committee? ”
Black Tan glanced at Jia Xiao strangely: "I never said that I was also a contestant. ”
Of course, only hunters can participate in the hunting festival, and there are very few people who can be qualified as hunters, just by looking at how famous the anomaly is in the northern part of the continent. The Commission treats accompanying cats as the weapons and equipment of hunters, and can follow them into competitions, although there are certain restrictions on them.
Each official hunter contest can register a maximum of one Eru follower, and the monsters killed by the accompanying cats independently and the information obtained independently cannot be counted as the hunter's competition score, even if it is a commission that participates at the same time, the hunter's own contribution to the commission must be at least half or more to count.
"To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that a powerful retinue will cheat with the hunter," Feng Chen teased Dajin with a mushroom, and the lone king monster was obedient like a pet under the little Orion, "The committee really won't let us take advantage of any loopholes." ”
"Even so, Ai Lu is still very helpful to hunters," Jia Xiao pondered, the abilities that Black Tan showed in just half a day, whether it was combat power or the ability to stand guard, explore, trace and transmit intelligence, were all necessary for every hunter in the hunting ground, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them treasure chests, "It should be very popular among formal hunters, but I have only seen a dozen hunters in the base camp with an entourage...... Are there any special restrictions? ”
"Then I'll have to ask you humans." Black Tan spread his hands, "From here, you can take the straight road, and there are no powerful monsters nearby." ”
The team between the Hunter and Elu is mostly a simple transaction, with the hired cat taking a cut of the hunter's commission or taking a fixed salary in return. Most of these relationships are short-lived, and some of them even have unique abilities that roam around certain areas to make a living by receiving short-term entourage commissions. Those who can follow a master for a long time are all Ai Lu, who has gradually cultivated tacit cooperation and deep feelings with hunters in a large number of commission practices. In other words, only if the orcs meet the requirements of the hunter in terms of ability, strength, personality, and growth potential, and Eru is very satisfied with the master, can a relatively stable employment relationship be maintained.
"It's like me and Boss Zhong." "He is my second employer and the one who has been with him for the longest time. Although he always has a bitter face, as if he made the mistakes of the whole hunting group alone, I still like to follow his time. ”
The friendships that come from hunting beyond the employment relationship may be the key to maintaining the hunter and his retinue.
"It doesn't matter." Feng Chen said, "Wouldn't it be okay to hire some Ailu in the short term." ”
"How is that possible?" Jia Xiao retorted, "This is a challenge festival, a swamp. No one wants to go with a Elo who doesn't know the details, maybe a small mistake in cooperation can cause an irreparable accident. ”
"Hmph, we Ailu don't want to walk with humans who don't know the details." The young man's words made Xiao Heitan feel a little offended, "What's more, there is no commission for the challenge festival, if you can't get the ranking, it's equivalent to doing a long-term task in vain." If it weren't for the boss's sake, I wouldn't want to come. ”
"That's not what I meant......," Jia Xiao hurriedly scratched his head and explained, "Hunters and Ai Lu always have to run in for a while, this kind of dangerous task is not suitable for running-in." ”
Suddenly, Daikin's body, which had been stable all along, shook and almost threw everyone on his back away. The three of them hurriedly grabbed the fur on the back of the golden retriever, but when they saw its body raised, its two forelimbs clenched into fists and slammed into its chest, and it let out a muffled roar with a whimpering throat.
"Seal the dust, what's going on?" Ailu's expression froze, "The golden retriever is disobedient?" ”
"No, Daikin is full of war intent now, there may be other monsters coming, do you smell anything?" Feng Chen hurriedly communicated with the giant ape, but only received a response mixed with excitement, vigilance, and danger.
Black Charcoal twitched, shook his head and said, "Nothing, the barracks can already be seen here, there shouldn't be monsters inhabiting." ”
Feng Dust urged twice, but the golden retriever unexpectedly stopped listening to him, as if something dangerous would happen if he left the shelter of this sparse jungle. Daikin resisted, and as soon as he lifted his body, he threw all three people on his back to the ground, its head raised high, and roared violently towards the sky.
"W-oh!"
"Hidden! Something came out of heaven! Black Tan looked up and couldn't help but feel like a dead man.
