I play the mythical beast Paloo in Monster Hunter

"Well, it's better to just put it on the ground..."

Looking at the animal hide bag that was about to burst, Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to the ground.

Bing Zhulong, who probably understood Xing's meaning, didn't hesitate and just let go and threw the bag in front of the commander and the others, then folded his arms and retreated back to Heiyue's side.

The arrogant attitude made Heiyue glance at Bingzhulong, and Bingzhulong crossed his arms and snorted in annoyance, making Heiyue wipe the sweat off his face.

[Black Moon: Is it that serious if I ask you to get something? ]

[Ice Curse Dragon: I am dissatisfied with you for treating me like a servant! ]

Xing and the others didn't care about the Ice Curse Dragon's attitude, and went up to check the condition of the iron ingot. It was long and smooth, and except for the fact that it was a little cold for some reason, it looked like a well-smelted metal.

"……ok, I get it."

The commander roughly understood what Xing and the others were thinking from their eyes. He took a deep breath, regained his spirit, and looked at Black Moon.

"Because we are in urgent need of metal, we will buy this batch of iron ingots at a price about 1.5 times the market price. As for the goods in the base, we will sell them to you at normal prices."

After listening to the priest cat's retelling, Black Moon gave the commander a thumbs up.

Seeing this, the commander breathed a sigh of relief, and then took Heiyue and the others to the Materials Management Department.

As for the batch of iron ingots, the commander had them transported back to the warehouse on a wooden cart. After all, the animal hide bag was obviously about to collapse, and such a heavy bag was not something that an ordinary person could carry.

After wandering around the Material Management Office for a while, Heiyue bought a lot of things. Although it was obviously impossible to have ready-made large equipment such as waterwheels, there were quite a few common tools such as measuring tapes, scissors, and needles and threads, which made Heiyue sigh——

It's not easy, I finally have a proper tool to use! No need to use some messy things instead.

Afterwards, Black Moon tried to communicate with the commander and others through the priest cat, telling them that he might bring some more iron ingots next time and asked them if they wanted more.

The commander and his men hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded and agreed, but said that they would only buy at the normal price next time. Black Moon didn't care about it, and even asked them what they needed, telling them that maybe he could try to get some.

Of course it was rejected.

After watching Heiyue's back as he left, and waiting until Heiyue and the others had gone far away pushing the cart given to them as a gift of friendship, Xing heaved a sigh of relief and said:

"They said they would come again next time. What do you say?"

"... Let's wait and see. After all, the other party is not hostile at the moment. We should try to resolve it peacefully if possible."

The deputy commander sighed.

"Yes, and if we can continue to trade and establish relations, it might be helpful for future investigations."

The commander rubbed his arms and looked up at the white frost on the gate. "It seems that the authenticity of the legend needs to be further verified by the guild."

After hearing the commander's words, Xing, who was still fiddling with the frost marks, suddenly lost his luster in his eyes.

"…Should we observe the situation first and then report back?"

"I'll have to write it sooner or later, so I'll leave it to you."

"If we can save one article, we'll save one..."

Master: The Dance of Dragons: Chapter 117: Water, Rain!

He pushed the cart all the way to the underground tunnel. After confirming that no one was following him, Heiyue chose a small recessed room in the corner and built a terminal for transmission.

"Well, that's fine. Just put the cart inside and pull it out when you need it."

Clapping his hands, Black Moon then sent the Ice Curse Dragon and the Priest Cat back to where they lived.

Black Moon didn't pay much attention to his own lame excuses at the human stronghold. After all, given the geographical location and surrounding conditions, no matter what excuse he made, he would be suspected.

It would be better to be straightforward and raise the level of suspicion on your side so that the other party would not dare to provoke you. Although this behavior may cause the other party to refuse to trade with you, fortunately, they happened to be in short supply of iron ore when the black moon arrived, so the first transaction was still very smooth.

"From the current situation, they probably don't want to reveal too much of their internal information to me. Fortunately, the trade of iron ingots is still allowed. As long as we trade a few more times, we should be able to try to bring up the matter of the waterwheel?"

Black Moon pinched his chin and thought about how to get along with the people in the base. If possible, he still hoped to continue to establish diplomatic relations with the human side. After all, everything that could be manufactured in his system had been completed, and the rest was lacking some serious industrial products, which were not something Black Moon could touch.

"Well... let's take it one step at a time."

With a sigh, Heiyue used the terminal to return to the forest base, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

…………

……

At noon the next day, the sunlight shone into the bedroom through the window, forcing Heiyue, who was still lying in bed, to wake up.

Heiyue, who was not yet accustomed to moving outside from the cave, finished washing up while scratching his back. After having lunch with the monster girls, he grabbed Fengpialong who was about to go out to look for food.

"I got the condiments and spices I mentioned earlier. You can try them yourself when you have time."

Heiyue took out all the seasonings that had been kept in the system backpack and handed them all to Feng Piaolong for safekeeping.

Afterwards, Heiyue went to find Zhanlong on the third floor and gave her the measuring tape.

"Wow, this is the tool humans use to measure size."

Pulling out the tape measure, Zhanlong looked at the "scratches" and numbers on the "thin iron sheet" with curiosity.

"Yeah, by the way, how's your knife?"

As he spoke, Heiyue glanced at the blade on the electronic furnace behind Zhanlong. Although Heiyue didn't know how to forge, the outline looked a bit like... a Gazi sword?

What the hell did the system teach you?

Zhanlong didn't notice the strange expression on Heiyue's face. Instead, because Heiyue was interested in the sword he was going to make, he immediately excitedly wagged his bald tail.

"That's great progress, Master! I tried many different sword types, from the katana to the long, thin broadsword, and I've confirmed it! The sword really has to be heavy enough, only then can it deliver a decisive blow!!"

Zhanlong clenched his fist and said to Heiyue, "Although other weapons are also very good, and even if they are reduced in size, including the tail, I can use three weapons to attack at the same time, but... it is better to have a decisive blow!! "

Very good, another great swordsman is born... No, it seems that Zhanlong was originally a great swordsman?

Heiyue smiled and didn't say anything else. After touching Zhanlong's head to encourage her, he went downstairs and left the base.

After quite some time, Heiyue finally came to the plain alone and took out the ball containing Lanlong.

Looking up at the relatively clear sky, Heiyue tried to release Lanlong.

In the white light, Lanlong's figure gradually appeared. The white clouds in the sky began to gather above Lanlong at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly turned black.

"That's really too much. You just use him and throw him into the ball? What a terrible guy I lost to."

Rain fell from the sky, Lanlong floated in the air, speaking in a sad tone with a smirk on his face.

"Humph~"

Heiyue showed a disdainful smile, and without saying a word, he fell to the ground like a tiger and knelt on the wet grass with a "plop".

“No comfort, no speed!!”

"Oh~~"

Lanlong's eyes widened, "You apologized so quickly~"

"Well... after all, there's really no excuse for this. Even if there were legitimate reasons, putting the person back into the ball after doing that is a bit..."

Heiyue scratched his face awkwardly. When Lanlong saw Heiyue like this, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and chuckled a few times.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about it. I don't mind it that much anyway. After all, you are the master~~"

"Yeah……"

Heiyue breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lanlong's sensual tone made him want to challenge her, considering the purpose of calling her out this time, Heiyue put his personal desires aside, put away the impropriety on his face and looked at Lanlong.

"Um, Lanlong..."

"As for the rain, I can only try to control it to be smaller, but it is impossible to stop it completely. It's like the two guys in your home, one setting ice and the other setting fire. It's similar to breathing. Unless we die, there is no way we can stop it completely."

As if he had guessed what Heiyue wanted to say, Lanlong, who was lying in mid-air, waved his hand.

"That's it..."

Although he had roughly guessed it, Heiyue still felt a headache when he actually heard Lanlong say this.

After all, one of the main reasons why Heiyue wanted to capture Lanlong was that if Lanlong continued to stay on the island and it rained, the guy under the ground that Bingzhulong mentioned would most likely crawl out. So when Lanlong said that he couldn't stop the rain, Heiyue had to reconsider the placement of Lanlong.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, I originally planned to stay for a while and then leave. It's not my style to stay in the same place for too long. Or are you reluctant to leave me?"

Seeing Heiyue's distressed look, Lanlong said jokingly.

"…So do you hate staying in the same place all the time? Or staying in the same place most of the time?"

Without paying attention to Lanlong's teasing, Heiyue raised his head and asked Lanlong very seriously.

Lan Long was stunned for a moment. She originally wanted to tease Heiyue again, but seeing Heiyue's serious expression, she started to think about it seriously.

“…No, I don’t hate it.”

"Okay, that's fine. I'll help you with it. Just go out and take a look around. I'll let you know when I'm done!"

As if he had come up with a good idea, Heiyue grinned and gave Lanlong a thumbs up.

“…Oh~ Then I’ll look forward to it a little~”

PS:

Answering the question posted yesterday -

Hunters are not ordinary people. When did you develop the illusion that hunters are ordinary people? Laugh.

Seriously speaking, whether it is the Monster Hunter PV or the comic "New World Sketching Travel Notes", there are many logistics personnel with normal strength. After all, the investigation team is not a group like the Fire Village where all the members are really big bosses. The majority of them are logistics personnel who are responsible for construction and ensuring production.

Then I deleted the previous request for advice on the rainstorm. I didn’t read the post carefully. I just didn’t want to make too many requests for leave. Plus, there were no attachments. I was also tired at the time... I just deleted it subconsciously without thinking about it.

If you were discussing something interesting at the time, I can only say sorry.

PS2:

I watched the PV of Monster Hunter: Wild Area, it's really exciting! Although the Kinsect seems to have died, the hook seems to have survived after being improved, hahahaha~ NMD, I won't get any disgusting things like softening attacks, right?

Master: The Dance of Dragons: Chapter 118: Water, sea water!

"By the way, can we use your ball? After all, that guy who used ice used it on me."

"...Of course, you can, but the captured ones will still belong to me and will be directly transferred to me. Do you still need it?"

"Of course~"

…………

……

Lanlong left, and before leaving he took a lot of Palu balls from Heiyue.

If Lanlong himself had not promised not to cause trouble for other ancient dragons, and if the forbidden-level monsters were not rare in themselves, with the precedent of the Ice Curse Dragon, Heiyue would never have handed the ball to Lanlong.

"I hope he won't bring me a black dragon, otherwise I'll just have to pack up and run away."

Heiyue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then returned to the base, brought out the Black Wolf Bird and the Bubble Fox Dragon, and flew all the way across the plains to the seaside.

It took some time to rebuild the fishing hut on the beach, and Black Moon settled the Bubble Fox Dragon there.

"Don't you need the Palu liquid? And the garden at home, doesn't it also need me to water it?"

"It's because we need you, that's why we want you to go into the sea..."

Heiyue solemnly placed his hands on Paohulong's shoulders and smiled kindly.

"The farm at the Cat Camp is still in need of someone who can spray water so that it can start stable production. You don't want your work to become more and more, do you?"

"..."

Bubble Fox Dragon glanced at Black Moon expressionlessly. She had begun to understand Blue Bear Beast's previous thoughts.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just trying to find a way to reduce your workload. I'll be in charge of taking care of the farm these days. You just need to find other large monsters while fishing, notify us, lead them ashore, and we'll take care of the rest~"

As he said that, Heiyue gave Bubble Fox Dragon a thumbs up.

“…Oh, I understand.”

Sighing helplessly, Pao Hulong, who originally wanted to stay at home playing cards, had to throw himself into his sea job again.

Black Moon himself also tried to dive into the sea, but because the Palu system does not have the oxygen system like in Minecraft, nor can it breathe directly underwater like Monster Hunter, the time Black Moon can move underwater is still the same as before the time travel, and can only last for more than a minute at most.

"Ahem... it seems like it has nothing to do with consuming stamina with swimming."
