Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 542 A Quarrel Between Brothers
Minagard was a bustling city in itself, and it almost immediately regained its former vitality after the shadow cast by the Old Mountain Dragon dissipated.

However, Lin Lin didn't feel anything about this.

After all, this was his first time in Minagard, and he had never seen the desolate scene that had been caused by the appearance of Lao-Shan Lung. He took the liveliness he saw before him as normal.

That's why, after walking around with the dates for a couple of hours, he lost interest.

To be honest, in terms of architectural style, it is indeed somewhat different from Dongdoruma, but because it follows a simple and durable style, it is really not very visually appealing.

As for food, Minagard's local specialty is that you can taste the cuisines from almost every region of the continent, almost exactly the same as East Doruma. To be precise, for any city with convenient transportation and a prosperous economy, unless the geographical environment is very special, it is like this. It is hard to say that there are any unique local delicacies.

After wandering around, Lin Lin began to miss the time he spent in Lokrak, when Todd took him on a feast. That was what it meant to truly experience local life, unlike now, sitting in a restaurant in Minagard watching a chef from Lokrak grill freshly shipped mocha clams over charcoal.

What kind of situation is this...?

Lin Lin rested his chin on his hand and sighed.

Yezao didn't seem to care much. Right now, he was holding the freshly served roasted dragon leg in one hand, tearing off a large piece of the crispy-skinned, tender-on-the-inside roasted meat, the juices splashing everywhere as he ate with great relish.
"Hmm... This Loklak BBQ is pretty authentic, almost like back home... Huh? Why isn't Lao Da eating? Don't you have an appetite?"

Yezao glanced at Lin Lin, who had only eaten less than half of his skewers, and swallowed hard.

"If you won't eat rice, I'll eat it, meow!"

Seeing that Lin Lin didn't react, Yezao didn't stand on ceremony and grabbed another skewer of grilled dragon kidney from in front of Lin Lin, continuing to eat heartily.

Lin Lin couldn't help but laugh as he watched the guy's cheeks puff out like a hamster's and he kept trying to swagger them down. If he wore a blue hood, he would look exactly like a silly cat.

"Hey, is Mi laughing at Shima Miao?"

Lin Lin tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth and shook his head, saying:

"It's alright. It's a pity that Minagard doesn't have any special dishes, but you're so satisfied with your meal, so it wasn't a wasted trip."

Lin Lin put down the grilled dragon leg he had already finished eating. Seeing that the date was still a little unsatisfied, he pushed the dozen or so skewers in front of him over. After washing his hands, he relaxed and sat down in the chair, gazing absently at the street scene outside the window.

People come and go, cars and horses move about, it's a busy and noisy day, just an ordinary day.

If we hadn't been able to stop the old dragon back then, I'm afraid we wouldn't have seen this ordinary street scene here for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lin Lin couldn't help but smile again.

Unlike before when he was amused by the appearance of the dates, this time his smile contained more pride and satisfaction.

Yezao quickly finished off the leftovers on the table. Seeing Lin Lin staring out the window in a daze, she couldn't help but come closer and ask curiously:

"Boss, what are you looking at, meow?"

Lin Lin turned his head and looked at the swept table in surprise. "Ye Zao is fast! She cleaned it up in such a short time."
"Hey? Boss, look! Isn't that Brave the cat?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lin hurriedly turned around, but he was too slow. He only saw a white figure pointing to the date, and that figure disappeared around the corner in the next instant.

That white thing looks like Barioth armor? If so, it should definitely be Bref.

"He looks really anxious, meow?"

"Then let's go and see." Lin Lin also became curious. The old mountain dragon had been driven away, so there shouldn't be any more emergencies. Why were they running so fast? Could something have happened?
Fortunately, they had already paid the bill before the food was served, so there was no obstacle in chasing after them. Otherwise, if they had to pay now, it would have been difficult to catch up.

Even so, Lin Lin almost lost track of them. In the end, Ye Zao regained his sense of smell and followed them all the way to Minagard's meeting place.

"Huh? Meeting place?"

Before pushing open the door, Lin Lin made a point of looking up to make sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

Why did Brave rush to the assembly hall in such a hurry?

They exchanged a glance, and then, filled with curiosity, pushed open the door.

As soon as Lin Lin entered the room, he heard a quarrel.

Crowding in the direction of the argument, I saw Bref as expected. The person he was arguing with had a similar facial structure to him, but with a more stubborn look.

Isn't that Zach? Why are these two brothers arguing?

Lin Lin didn't rush to join the fun. He looked around and found that even at midday, a lot of hunters had already gathered in the tavern (gathering place). At this moment, these hunters were all lowering their voices and secretly paying attention to the argument between the two people.

It seems that watching the drama unfold is truly human nature...

Lin Lin shook his head and found a square table to sit down.

"Senior brother? You're here to watch the show too?"

A voice, deliberately lowered in volume but filled with excitement and agitation, came from the side.

Lin Lin glanced at Zi Yuan, who was watching the drama unfold, and made a "shh" gesture to her. Then he focused his attention on the two people arguing next to the mission counter to see what they were saying.

"Listen to me, Zack! Come home with me!"

"I do not want!"

As Bref looked at the stubborn boy staring at him, he couldn't help but recall the obedient and sensible little boy from back then.

It hasn't even been a few years, how come things have changed so much?

"Don't be so willful! Do you know how worried your mom and dad have been about you ever since you ran away from home?!"

Zach lowered his head and remained silent.

Although his parents absolutely refused to let him become a hunter, after he ran away, he stubbornly refused to send a single letter home for almost a year. His parents didn't even know if he was alive or dead. He was indeed wrong in this matter, and he knew it himself. It was just that the pride of a young man prevented him from admitting his mistake.

After a long silence, Zach finally managed to utter a sentence:
"I'll go back and apologize! But... not now."

"At least let me pass the Hunter Exam and get my official Hunter status!"
