Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 200 Letter from Sophia

As a hunter, Lin Lin doesn't care much about money, as long as he has enough.

Although raising Little Puff can bring him financial freedom, once the amount of money exceeds a certain limit, it is just a number.

But it's different for Yanhuo Village. If Yanhuo Village's specialty, in addition to its high-quality smelting technology, could include a large quantity of "foaming slippery fluid", then Yanhuo Village's economy would surely usher in a wave of rapid growth. Only when Yanhuo Village has money can it promote the improvement of the experimental fields and increase the production of magatama honey. Only then can he continue to fight with Kinsects when he goes to other areas in the future.

I've decided. I'll go talk to Puxian later...

Lin Lin was just about to say goodbye to Liuying, but the three-flowered Ailu seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly called out to Lin Lin.

"By the way, meow, Lady Rodna, who manages the trading ship, seems to want to see you about something. She's in the attendant square. Would you like to go over and see her?"

Rodna?
Lin Lin's eyes moved slightly, "Thank you Liuying, I'll be there right away."

……

Soon, Lin Lin saw the heroic-looking woman in green behind a long table.

"Hi! You are Lin Lin, right? I'm Rodna, a trader from Elgard who came to Yanhuo Village."

Rodna's voice matches her appearance very well, giving her a rough feel. If you don't look at her exquisite clothes, you would probably mistake her for a hunter rather than a trader.

But inexplicably, Lin Lin actually heard a hint of Ogura Yui's voice in this rough voice.

Lin Lin shook his head, getting rid of the inexplicable feeling in his mind, and turned to review the identity information of this "trader".

Rodna is a businessman from another country on the surface, but secretly she is a member of the Knights of the Kingdom of Elgard and the younger sister of Fioraina, a popular female knight in Dawn.

Is there something this person wants to talk to me about?
"I have a letter here sent from Jieyun Village. The recipient is you. I was just wondering when I would go and give it to you in person, but I didn't expect you to be here already."

Lin Lin blinked and watched the other party take out an envelope and hand it to him.

It is said that before leaving for Shuimo Lin, he wrote a letter and gave it to Shui Yun, asking her to help mail it, but he didn't know how she sent it.

It now seems that most likely they went to Jieyun Village by water via the trading ship in Rodna's hands.

"Thank you very much. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

The other party smiled and shook his head, "It's just a matter of convenience, no trouble."

So Lin Lin didn't say anything more polite, tore off the wax on the envelope, and unfolded the letter inside to read.

Lin Lin used both hands to take the letter. Little Puff broke away from Lin Lin's arms, but twisted her body and jumped onto Lin Lin's shoulder. The whole dragon lay on Lin Lin's shoulder like a big scarf, and looked at the contents of the letter with curiosity.

Dear Lin Lin:
Don't worry. While the ecology around Jieyun Village is experiencing some disruption, it's generally under control. We anticipate no major ecological disturbances until the end of the cold season and the arrival of the warmer months next year. Initially, due to the Thunder Wolf Dragon's influence, some monsters were forced to migrate to the stream area. However, due to Xiong Er's aggressive nature, all large monsters approaching Jieyun Village, with the exception of a few female Blue Bears, have been expelled, and the villagers' lives have not been significantly affected.

After many battles, Xiong Er has undergone some changes, specifically his body color has turned black, his strength has increased, his aggressiveness has increased, and he will expel small monsters in his territory. Fortunately, he is still not hostile to humans. In addition, Xiong Er has also demonstrated the ability to command the other blue bears, and they fought together to repel a thunder wolf dragon.

In addition: Preliminary results have been obtained from the ecological survey of Thunder Wolf Dragon. The information you brought back played a very important role. The following is my summary of the content of Teacher Mia's report.

1. The Thunder Wolf Dragon is a five-star dangerous monster, and the tribe has close ties, and the members have a certain ability to cooperate with each other.

2. There is a leader in the Thunder Wolf Dragon tribe, whose strength is estimated to be far greater than that of ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon individuals.

3. Unless encountering external enemies or crises, Thunder Wolf Dragon usually acts as an individual unit.

4. It has been confirmed that the original habitat of the Thunder Wolf Dragon is located in Lingfeng, and Lingfeng is currently occupied by an unknown monster. According to speculation, there is a certain probability that it is an ancient dragon species.

To sum up, you can continue to hang out outside.

(Dense and scribbled scratches)
Regarding the purple Bubble Fox dragon cub you mentioned, I haven't found any relevant texts. If this is true, then you may have discovered a completely new subspecies of Bubble Fox Dragon! Of course, it's also possible, as you suggest, that it's an even rarer species! If you confirm, the guild will name this subspecies "Flame Fox Dragon." Of course, I hope you'll consider this carefully; changing it to "Linlin Dragon" or "Sophia Dragon" would both be great options!
Due to the unstable ecology near Jieyun Village, travel was greatly disturbed. Although I really wanted to set off for Yanhuo Village immediately, unfortunately, Teacher Mia did not agree to my request.

Therefore, I sincerely request you to take a few pictures of this subspecies and send them to me when you write to me next time. Also, it would be great if you could attach samples of old scales, fallen teeth, secreted body fluids, etc. shed by this subspecies with the letter!
Best regards.

Lin Lin closed the letter with a strange look on his face, and looked at the little Puff lying on his shoulder with an indescribable look.

"There's a shrimp-headed dragon fetishist who's after your body!"

Little Puff blinked cutely and licked Lin Lin's cheek with her tongue.

"Ahem, do you need to write a reply? I have paper and pen here."

Rodna didn't know what was written in the letter, but she looked at Lin Lin's strange expression and felt a little curious.

"Ah, not for now. Sorry to trouble you."

……

After leaving Rodna, Lin Lin felt relieved because he had confirmed the situation in Jieyun Village.

There was more time than he had expected. He had only considered the impact of the spread of the Thunder Wolf Dragon population on the ecology, but ignored the influence of climate factors. In the cold season, food was in short supply, and most herbivorous species would hide for the winter. Large monsters would also become more aggressive due to the lack of food.

Under the influence of such an environment, most monsters will resist more fiercely when faced with the Thunder Wolf Dragon's behavior of grabbing territory, and therefore are more likely to suffer casualties. This has to some extent slowed down the spread of the Thunder Wolf Dragon's influence.

Of course, this impact is only temporarily suspended, not eliminated. Now the monsters whose territory has been taken away are like a compressed spring. When the warm season comes next year, without the continuous pressure of the environment, this spring will inevitably rebound violently.
