Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Cooperate with our investigation, and if you have no problem, we will let you go soon."

The corner of Aolan's eye twitched, and he roughly guessed what was going on.

After successfully capturing the Star Dragon, considering the safety of the city, the professor did not place the Star Dragon in the city for placement and research, but built a secret base somewhere outside the city.

He didn't know the exact location and situation of the research base, and he had no interest in finding out more.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be in this area.

If civilians who are gathering mountain products or cutting wood come here and are discovered by patrol personnel, they should be persuaded to leave and nothing will happen.

They were setting off fireworks at the entrance of their secret research base.

It’s no wonder that the Guild Knight came with Dark Night.

"Ah" Muti was not stupid, she guessed it quickly and was about to explain something when she was interrupted by Aolan's eyes.

Telling the other party that "we captured Xinglong" at this time may not be a good thing. Instead, it will make people more suspicious. Just keep your mouth shut, follow the other party, and ask to see the professor at the right time. This should be able to resolve the misunderstanding.

The guild knight obviously had no interest in causing trouble. Seeing that Orlan and others immediately disarmed and had no intention of resisting, he did not think of tying them up.

We plan to temporarily confiscate their weapons and bring them back to the base.

The guild knight came over and picked up the knives and steel claws they had thrown on the ground one by one. The Dark Night stood motionless by the side, his eyes never leaving them.

Aolan noticed that his limbs were slightly tense, and his hands were in position to draw his sword at any time. If he and others made any unusual movement, this guy would probably attack immediately.

Hanging the knife and steel claws at his waist, the guild knight bent down again, grabbed the handle of the gunlance with one hand and the strap of the shield with the other, and stood up. As a result, he not only failed to lift the gunlance and shield, but also almost sprained his waist.

"Is this the Dragon Slaying Gunlance? Why is it so heavy?" The Guild Knight's already dark complexion turned even darker.

Muti scratched his head. "I'm quite strong, so I asked the craftsman to add some materials, so it's a bit heavier. How about I take it?"

"No need." The guild knight's face turned serious.

He looked carefully at the faces of Muti and the other man, and felt that they were no more than twenty years old.

Dragon Slayer Gunlance? Does that make sense?

He moved the heavy crossbow that was originally hanging on his back to the front, lifted the large shield with both hands and put it on his back, and then picked up the musket with all his strength. Suddenly, the guild knight felt as if he couldn't even straighten his back.

His legs were shaking a little, but the man in the dark had no intention of helping at all, and stared at the "suspects" without blinking.

Resisting the urge to take out the demon potion and the walking potion, the guild knight straightened his body and took a deep breath, "Let's go."

The guild knights walked very slowly and with great difficulty, while Orlan and the others had their hardship in another sense. The man from Dark Night followed them closely like a ghost.

Aolan always felt a chill on the back of his neck. The man in the dark night kept staring at their vital points, as if he was ready to kill them with one blow at any time.

Fortunately, the destination was not far from where they were "setting off firecrackers".

The camp was located at the foot of a low hill, and the location where they were conducting the experiment was on top of that hill. If they had walked around more before starting the experiment, they might have noticed this stronghold.

Thick timbers were hammered deep into the ground, forming a semicircular wall alongside the mountain. Outside the wall were deep trenches and antlers to prevent monsters from approaching.

Heavy weapons such as large crossbows and artillery can be seen everywhere. Orlan even saw two rapid-fire cannons set on simple rails.

Apart from the difference between wooden walls and brick and stone walls, the scale of the fortifications here can be called a fortress. Not to mention one or two large monsters, even if a group of them came, I am afraid they would never come back.

Olang and Muti looked at each other.

If they had known that there was a fortress of this level built here, how could they dare to fire randomly nearby?

Arriving at a deep ditch filled with sharp wooden stakes, the leading guild knight shouted a few times at the wall, and with the sound of machinery running, the heavy drawbridge was lowered.

A group of people arrived at the stronghold.

The panting guild knight called two companions and took away Muti's musket, which made Muti a little sad, but when she noticed the guild flag flying on the watchtower, she didn't want to stab him.

Orlan glanced calmly around the camp.

There were fully armed guild knights and guards in the camp, but there were more scholars and civil servants in robes.

This further proved his previous guess.

Looking deeper into the camp, there was a passage at the bottom of the mountain wall, guarded by a whole team of heavily armored defense knights.

It seems that the real research facilities are located underground. As for the camp on the ground, it should be just a defensive structure, and at most it also serves as a living area.

"Follow."

The guild knight, having taken off his burden, tilted his head towards them and led them to the larger tent in the center of the camp.

If only the professor were here.

Orlan prayed in his heart and followed the guild knights, lowering his head and entering the tent.

The bad news was that there was a man standing in the tent. Judging from his tall and broad figure, he was obviously not the professor they were familiar with.

Good news, they are also familiar with this person.

"Sir, we have brought here the people who were making the noise nearby. They are two young hunters and their Elu partner." The guild knight took off his hat and briefly reported the situation.

The tall old man turned around.

"Teacher Fabius~!" Muti cheered.

Now they don't need to ask the professor to prove it for them.

Hearing Muti's address, the guild knight looked at them strangely but said nothing.

Fabius was slightly stunned when he saw their faces clearly. "Why are you two here?"

Orlan scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Mr. Fabius, we were nearby, uh... testing weapons. We didn't realize there was a camp here. Sorry to bother you."

"What weapon are you testing?" Fabius asked subconsciously.

The guild knight reported truthfully, "An exceptionally heavy dragon-slaying lance has been confiscated."

"Dragon Slayer Lance. I see." Fabius pressed his forehead lightly. "They don't seem suspicious, Rosso. Give them back."

"Yes." The guild knight named Rosso looked at them again and left the tent with Dark Night.

"You two are four-star now, right?" Fabius spoke before the two could ask anything. "The professor told me that it was you two who captured the Star Dragon and hunted the Dragon Slayer with Olivia?"

"Hmm." Orlan had a bad feeling.

"It just so happens that we are short of manpower here. You two can go back. Remember to report here tomorrow with your equipment."

Orlan's face fell.

Getting into trouble.

"Why, you don't want to?" Fabius squinted at him. "If you don't want to, you can ask. You won't be forced to participate."

Ao Lang was helpless. Even if he ignored the other party's guild high-level status, he couldn't bring himself to refuse the elder who had given him guidance.

It just so happens that I don’t have any other plans recently.

"willing."

P.S. In the game, Olivia is equipped with the Guild Ace Set, so she should be a Guild Knight. Rosso and the others are not sure, so let's just assume she is a Guild Knight. I hope she won't be backstabbed.

Chapter 303 Seabuckthorn has a dream, meow!

The next day, fully armed Orlan and others left Metabetat and headed back to the stronghold at the foot of the low mountain.

Not knowing what kind of monster he would face next, Orlan chose the most versatile Betrayal Blade Rigellian as his main weapon.

As for those attribute swords and double swords, they are still stored in the hunter's cabin of the Metabetat gathering place. Anyway, the two places are only a few kilometers apart. If they are really needed, they can rush back to get them at any time.

Not to mention Muti Fish Balls, they have always conquered the world with one weapon, but Seabuckthorn is the most fully prepared.

Although it has been slightly improved, the Fire Dragon No. 9 Modified, which cannot be called a new generation model, cannot escape the fate of a truck.

Stacked on it were the Thunder Wolf Dragon Unit 4, the Princess Spider Unit 3, and a new type of machine named the Giant Bird Unit 1 by Seabuckthorn.

To put it simply, it is a hang glider.

Seabuckthorn envied Xianglan's ability to fly freely by controlling a large kite, but he didn't have the skills, so he had to try to make up for it with his brain power.

The hang glider, which is made of the membrane of the giant bird's wings, is very light, but it cannot take off from flat ground at present. It can only jump from a high place and glide with the wind when the wind direction is right. The flying posture is not stable enough, so it can only be said to be an experimental prototype.

But Seabuckthorn firmly believes that the Big Monster Bird series has huge potential.

It currently has two development directions. One is to make it as lightweight as possible while ensuring reliability, so that it can replace the role of kites.

If kites can carry cats flying, there is no reason why hang gliders, which are more aerodynamic, cannot do the same.

If the frame structure is well designed, it may be able to be folded like an umbrella and placed in a backpack, and then unfolded when needed.

Find another opportunity to meet Lady Xianglan, or go to Yanhuo Village to learn flying skills from the legendary Secret Team, then it will be able to fly freely in the air!

The second direction is a bit more brutal, which is to mechanize and enlarge the Big Monster Bird series and make it into a fixed-wing powered glider.

I haven't decided on the power source yet. Using pedals to drive the propeller might not be enough.

However, the prospects in this direction are broader. If the power source is strong enough, it can even take off with explosive bombs and bomb monsters from the air!

"Ahem..." Seabuckthorn sighed as he pedaled with difficulty.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is always difficult to achieve.

Most of the mechanical problems are caused by insufficient power. If there is a power source that is both light and powerful, its Fire Dragon series can fly!

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?" Orlan looked at his partner curiously. He didn't know that Seabuckthorn had already started imagining the aerial battleship, and just thought that it was in a bad mood.

"Nothing, meow!" Seabuckthorn shook his head, throwing away those far-fetched thoughts. "There are many hillsides around here, meow. The mountains are not steep, so it's relatively safe, meow.

We plan to test the Giant Bird Unit 1 a few more times here, collect more data, and make a truly usable hang glider as soon as possible."

"Come on, if you need help or any materials, feel free to tell me." Olang felt complicated but relieved.

With the gradual formation of series such as Rathalos, Thunder Wolf, and Spider, Seabuckthorn's ground combat capability has been considered quite outstanding among hunting cats.

But it is no longer satisfied with the ground and has begun to stretch its claws into the air. It will probably not let go of underwater in the future. It is hard to imagine what this guy will become in ten or twenty years.

With the hunters' speed, a few kilometers of journey was just a blink of an eye. The group walked through a not-so-steep valley and arrived in front of the heavily guarded fortress.

The guards on the wall looked at them curiously.

Two heavily armed hunters weren't anything special, but what was that chariot-like thing? That was a bit odd.

Orlan took off his helmet and shouted to the top of the wall, "We are coming to support you by order of Lord Fabius!"

"Where's the appointment letter? Or any credentials like a mission document?" The guard was very alert and did not open the door just because of Orlan's words.

Orlan was a little embarrassed. Mr. Fabius had only mentioned it verbally yesterday, but he should ask him for a written certificate.

Fortunately, at this moment, a familiar face appeared from the top of the wall.

It was the guild knight named Rosso who "arrested" them yesterday.

"Oh, it's you."

Different from his attitude towards the suspect yesterday, after the misunderstanding was resolved with Fabius's testimony, Rosso's attitude would naturally no longer be as serious and cold as yesterday.

It was obvious that Fabius had also greeted him. Rosso raised his chin towards the guards and said, "They are indeed the people Lord Fabius has summoned. Open the door."

The guard nodded, pulled the mechanism, and the drawbridge lowered, allowing the two men and two cats to enter the camp.

"My name is Rosso, a four-star heavy crossbowman. What are your names?" The dark-skinned guild knight walked down the steps from the top of the wall.

"Olang, a four-star swordsman. I can also use other weapons when necessary. This is my hunting partner, Seabuckthorn."

"Mutti! Four-star Gunlancer! This is my hunting partner, Fishball!"

The two briefly introduced themselves and shook hands with each other.

Rosso was not too old, probably in his twenties. The crimson guild knight suit he wore looked a little strange against his dark brown skin.

Of course, Orlan would never say such words.

Rosso is a talkative person. "I heard Senior Olivia talk about you yesterday. I heard that you two are not even twenty years old?

That's really impressive! To be honest, when I saw you guys holding that Dragon Slayer Gunlance yesterday, I almost suspected you got the materials from the black market."

Orlan gave an awkward but polite smile.

He and Muti are both four-star hunters, but they are equipped with weapons made from materials of five-star dangerous monsters.

Although it was a reasonable escape within the guild's tacit approval, it was still inevitable that they would feel a little strange facing a guild knight who had arrested them just yesterday.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Rosso smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Master Fabius endorsing you, nothing will happen."

Having said this, Rosso paused, glanced around, and lowered his voice and said, "But be careful, there are several Dark Night soldiers in the base.
