Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 83 Ancient Dragon
"What can happen to him?"

Rachel chuckled twice. "This guy is so impressive. Guess what he wrote to me?"

Just be fine...

Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief. After all, from what Teacher Kevin had said, his mission this time was quite dangerous.

Hearing Rachel ask this, he cooperated and acted as a good supporting role, "What did you say?"

"After he recovers from his injuries, we'll go back to Dondoruma to attend his promotion ceremony!"

Rachel gritted her teeth as she spoke, "You didn't even bring me along on the mission, and you're about to reach seven stars without a word... No, I have to work harder!"

Lin Lin's focus was different from Rachel's, and he immediately grasped those two words.

"Recovering from injury? Is Teacher Kevin injured?"

Rachel, on the other hand, remained calm. "That's nonsense. Fighting an ancient dragon head-on, it would be a blessing to come back alive. Expecting to stay unharmed? That's unrealistic..."

"Well……"

Rachel suddenly stopped talking and rubbed her head vigorously. "Why did I tell you so much? This is not something you should be exposed to right now..."

"Anyway, you know, compared to his record, this little injury is nothing."

Only then did Lin Lin realize that Teacher Kevin was called by the guild to fight the ancient dragon. No wonder he said a lot of words like "planting flags" when they parted. The level of danger was indeed not low.

I don’t know which ancient dragon Teacher Kevin is facing, whether he is fighting alone or in a team, and whether he is repelling or conquering it?

Lin Lin wanted to ask more questions, but Rachel was unwilling to continue and instead started to talk about other things.

"What's there to hide about the ancient dragon? Aren't we about to participate in the battle to repel a super-sized ancient dragon?"

"Forehead……"

Rachel collapsed on the sofa and sighed weakly, "Ah, drinking will ruin things..."

In fact, after drinking some juice, Rachel's drunkenness had dissipated a lot, otherwise Lin Lin might not have heard this sigh.

"Actually, I didn't tell you young people this because I was afraid you'd lose the courage to move on. But it seems like you don't know anything about ancient dragons, so I'll just briefly explain it to you."

"Children who live in cities, growing up in the stable living environment created by hunters, always believe that humans stand at the top of the world. But in reality, the true masters of this world are monsters, those ancient dragons who are the embodiment of natural disasters."

Rachel paused and noticed Lin Lin's expression. She didn't see any shock or fear. Instead, there was no change. She quietly waited for her next words, as if she had known about this for a long time.

I don’t know where he knew this from... Could it be that there is a record of this in the books Kevin left behind?

Muttering to herself, Rachel shook her head and continued:
"It's no exaggeration to say that ancient dragons are the embodiment of natural disasters. Take, for example, the mountain dragon we're about to face. Just by moving, these massive ancient dragons can often cause rocks to crumble and the ground to crack, bringing devastating disaster to villages and settlements along their path."

"Kevin participated in repelling a Flame Dragon this time. This ancient dragon is practically the embodiment of fire, setting blazing flames ablaze wherever it passes. Kevin said that the Flame Dragon's horn was broken off, making it even more aggressive..."

Seeing the change in Lin Lin's eyes, Rachel immediately regretted it. Why did she drink so much alcohol and speak without restraint? What if this kid loses confidence in continuing to be a hunter?

She quickly made amends:
"Don't think they're too scary. Although they're powerful, they're not invincible. Look, didn't Kevin and the others successfully repel that guy?"

Rachel thought that the change in Lin Lin's eyes was due to fear, but Lin Lin just had some association when he heard that Kevin was fighting a Flame Queen Dragon with a broken horn.

He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, senior. I've been mentally prepared and won't be scared." Seeing that Rachel's eyes were much clearer, Lin Lin changed the subject:
"So, Senior, you got yourself drunk like this just because of a letter?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not drunk!"

Rachel glared at him, and Lin Lin raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, I'm not drunk. I used the wrong words."

Rachel then hummed twice and leaned back on the sofa.

"Of course it can't be just because of that letter! Do you think I'm some resentful woman?!"

Well……

Lin Lin shrank his neck. The way he said this, he had completely failed to conceal his emotions. So when did he change his address to calling her Master's Wife?

"Hehe, actually, I also accepted a disciple. Kevin can't be the only one who has a disciple!"

"The girl threw a banquet with good wine and a good atmosphere, but she accidentally drank a few hundred million gulps too many."

Oh ~
Lin Lin suddenly realized. That's what he said. Senior Rachel is not as addicted to alcohol as those alcoholic hunters he met at the rally. How could she drink like this for no reason?

So, the disciple she accepted was the one she met last time, the one who looked serious and more like a rich lady than a hunter... uh... what was her name?

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, I just remembered the first impression the other person left on him. Now thinking about it, I found that he couldn't even remember his face, let alone his name.

"Who is it? Have I seen him before?"

"Well, Shion, you've seen her once. The girl is quite good. Although her family is wealthy, she is surprisingly able to endure hardships."

Rachel glanced at Lin Lin, thought for a moment, and added:
"And he has an interesting personality, unlike you, who is a dull person like Kevin."

A taciturn person? Me?
Lin Lin pointed his index finger at the tip of his nose. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't apply this word to himself, right?

"What? Are you not convinced?"

Of course Lin Lin was not convinced. He was a law-abiding young man, kind and gentle, polite to others, and never got angry with anyone. How could he be described as a dull person?
"How long have we known each other?"

"It's been... more than a month, right?"

"Then how do you call me?"

"Senior...senior?"

Rachel rolled her eyes in anger. "I told you you're a dullard and you still refuse to admit it. Given our relationship, I should at least consider you half a teacher, right? Why are you still calling me senior like you did at the beginning? Shion has only been with me for a few days? And she's calling me sister all the time!"

Lin Lin groaned twice and felt a little numb.

At first, we were not familiar with each other, so of course I called her senior. Later, I gradually became familiar with her and got used to the title, so I didn’t want to change it. I almost forgot that Senior Rachel is also a woman. She calls me senior all the time, but she thinks I’m too old!

"Then...teacher?"

"Kevin is your teacher."

"Uh... Master's wife?"
