"It's irrelevant? Lieyan, don't you want to go to the Monster Festival? It will be very, very lively then, with many, many people coming, even people from outside the city will come here to visit."
"Well, to be honest, I don't really want to go. For me, it's better to take advantage of the time to exercise rather than visit the Monster Festival."
"Hey~... Why is this~... It's obviously very interesting."
Diona stretched out her voice, her tone a little regretful, but she didn't pester him. Instead, she looked at Aisi on the other side and asked, "What about Aisi? Aisi, you should go to the Monster Festival, right? Dione and I are going together, and we can bring Lefiya with us. The four of us can go shopping together, how about that?"
"As for me..." Ai Si was silent for a moment, then secretly glanced in the direction of the flames.
To be honest, she didn't want to go to the Monster Festival. It was too lively for her. She preferred quieter scenes, like the central courtyard in the morning and above the walls of Orario.
Moreover, now there is one more reason.
Flame's cross-world hunting commission.
The most important thing is that we don’t know when this will appear.
If a request came up during the Monster Festival, and she wasn't nearby, then Lieyan, who wasn't going to the Monster Festival, might find someone else in the family to do the request... and as far as she knew, no one in the family would go to the Monster Festival.
There are many.
Going to the Monster Festival ≈ You may not be able to get a hunting commission.
Ess drew an approximate equality between the two items in her mind and immediately made up her mind.
"As for me, it is unlikely that I will go, because Lieyan may have a commission and I don't want to miss it." Ai Si lowered her eyebrows and spoke softly, with a hint of apology on her cold and beautiful face.
But she didn't say enough.
"But if Lieyan has nothing to do, then I might go there too."
"Is that so? It's okay!"
Although one of the two friends refused to visit and the other basically refused, Tiona was still undaunted. After all, there were still a few days before the Monster Festival actually began, and perhaps Ais and Lieyan would change their minds in these few days.
For now, I should concentrate on adapting to this new weapon in my hand.
"Very good, let's continue!"
Shouting with full energy, Tiona rushed into the group of monsters surrounding her, waving the giant double-headed spear in her hand.
With a flash of light, the sharp giant blade that was almost half a person's length easily cut the large monster [Berg Bear] in half from head to tail, demonstrating the excellent performance of the weapon while also reflecting the brute strength of the girl that was completely inconsistent with her slender appearance.
I am no longer a bug-fighting stick, but have completely transformed into Diona...
But it doesn't matter. This is only the second day since Diona got the insect stick. Once she masters a series of operations such as aerial evasion and dancing and jumping, she will probably become happy immediately.
Lieyan sighed and played notes from the hunting horn in his hand, which gave the two women in front of him a small attack and defense buff. The moment the buff came, Tiona and Ais's bodies tensed up unconsciously, but after feeling the effect of the notes, their bodies relaxed again, and then they killed even more vigorously.
As if they were testing the effect of the notes, Diona and Ais put all their efforts into slashing the surrounding monsters into pieces.
Whenever the buff on the two was about to expire, Lieyan would wave the hunting horn in advance to renew the buff.
However, Lieyan soon regretted his action.
As for the reason, it's very simple.
Because of the buff of the hunting horn, it lasted until the agreed afternoon time for the sparring battle!
Looking at Ai Si in front of him, who was also wrapped in the musical note buff like himself and whose words and actions were eager to try, Lieyan showed a somewhat bitter smile.
This... can be considered as self-inflicted...
Chapter 71: Who among the serious hunters plays the flute?
Midday on the moon.
The bright moon emits a cool and ethereal silver glow, covering the vast world with a layer of hazy silver gauze.
"I didn't expect that I would have trained until this time in one go... I have drunk all the recovery potions, and I was still wearing armor. Even the spare secret medicine and ancient secret medicine were gone..." Lieyan sighed slightly as he carried the coffin bag that was filled with magic stones instead of potions.
"Did I hit you too hard? I'm sorry..."
Aisi lowered her eyebrows again to apologize.
Although she is one of the most powerful adventurers in the city, once you get to know her for a while, you will find that this girl is actually a very delicate, soft and emotional person, and she is also a bit naive and off-kilter.
It's just because of that pretty face without a mouth that can't make many expressions that she looks aloof.
"It's not your problem. It's just the effect I want to achieve."
Lieyan reached out and ruffled Ais's blonde hair. Although her black hair had been washed countless times by sweat this afternoon, it still stood up hard as if it had been sprayed with hairspray, casting a shadow that covered her eyes.
Because of the previous preparation and the buff of the hunting horn, this afternoon's training completely surpassed the devil training in the morning in terms of duration and intensity. It has become the ultimate super-extreme N.0PLUS final evolved version of the devil training.
This can be seen from the consumption of medicine.
During the training session in the morning, Lieyan just took a bottle of recovery potion G and drank it after the training was completed.
However, during this trip to the dungeon, Lieyan almost completely consumed more than a hundred bottles of recovery potions G, and even ate two spare secret medicines. It was thanks to the ancient secret medicine that he was able to walk out of the dungeon in one piece and look like a human being.
And you should know that the recovery potion G produced by Monster Hunter is much better than the ordinary recovery potion in the dungeon, and can even compete with the panacea in a short period of time. The effects of secret potions and ancient secret potions are even better than the panacea, and can almost bring the dead to life.
And the fact that such a potion that could shine so well in the clan expedition was actually used in training shows how Spartan this training was.
Basically, it can be said that Lieyan truly practiced what it means to practice until you die.
And because Lieyan was wearing armor, Aisi did not hold back at all.
Because the substitute rapier was barely effective, she even abandoned the sword altogether and simply used the superior physique of a LV 5 adventurer to the fullest, hitting Lieyan like a cannonball, sending her flying all over the dungeon, smashing into the walls and the ground, causing huge damage.
"Ah, Aisi is so cunning! I want a pat on the head from Lieyan too!"
"Okay, okay, everyone has a share."
Reaching out his other hand, he touched the Amazon girl's black hair, as if he was dealing with his overly clingy daughter. Like an old father, Lieyan smiled helplessly.
"Speaking of which, I've wanted to ask you for a long time. What exactly is that thing you're using, Lieyan? It seems very powerful."
After enjoying the head patting, Diona took the initiative to leave, and then shook her hair with a curious look on her face.
"That's a hunting horn. It can strengthen certain aspects of a hunter for a certain period of time. This hunting horn can slightly strengthen a hunter's attack and defense, and also has a slight recovery effect. But I'm not sure about the specific principle. It may be due to its special structure, or it may be due to the power of the material."
Lieyan shrugged his shoulders. He really only had a vague understanding of the hunting horn.
However, in the Monster Hunter world, no one cares about the principle of how the hunting horn works.
There are even few people who can play the flute.
Everyone wishes that there would be a flute master in his team who can play a wide range of buffs, but you can see that there are not many serious hunters who can play the flute.
You can either play cool ones, such as katana, axe, double swords, or play weapons with shields that can survive, such as spears, shield axes, etc., or choose long-range weapons, light crossbows, heavy crossbows, and bows and arrows.
If you choose a hunting horn right away... then you will be completely cut off from hunting monsters alone.
Even hunter teams with fixed teams rarely use hunting horns. At least, there are almost no hunter teams that Lieyan knows of.
The only three hunters Lieyan knows who can use the hunting horn are Huoya Shuiyun, who is well hidden, and the instructor who is proficient in all weapons...
"Oh, come to that, can we use this hunting horn? I feel like the expedition would be much easier with this thing."
"I think so."
Tiona and Ais expressed their opinions on the hunting horn. Apparently, the super long-lasting buff on them today gave them some ideas.
"The adventurers in our clan should be able to use it, and they don't even need to be of a very high level. But to be honest, this thing is really bulky. I myself want to train my strength and endurance, so I temporarily chose the hunting horn as a weapon.
And don’t just look at how easy it seems when I use it. My example itself is not universal.
If low-level adventurers take this thing, they basically won't be able to carry anything else. If high-level adventurers carry this thing, it would be better to let them go directly into the battle.
Moreover, the melody of the hunting horn can cover a limited number of people, and its duration is not long, only about ninety seconds. If you want to make it effective, you must keep using it.
If it is used in an expedition, it should still be able to play a certain role, but compared with the price it has to pay, this role is not so dazzling. "
Lieyan shook his head slightly, and then said:
“If you want me to recommend something, I would rather let everyone try the light crossbow and heavy crossbow, two long-range weapons. They are easy to operate, can be aimed, and can be used. Even if they can be used, my army uses light and heavy crossbows and bows and arrows for militarized hunting.
But if the family members use light and heavy crossbows, the supply of ammunition will be a big problem."
The ammunition in the Monster Hunter world is not something produced on an assembly line. All kinds of ammunition materials are purely natural, and it is extremely troublesome to collect them.
After Lieyan's explanation, Aisi and Diona also understood that the hunting horn was indeed not something that the Loki family could popularize now.
Even the light and heavy crossbows that Lieyan mentioned later are not something that the current Loki clan can handle.
There are just too many obstacles...
Chapter 72: Aisi's Special Training Experience
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. None of us are good at thinking, so why worry about this? Just leave the thinking to Finn."
"That's right..."
"..."
Lieyan smiled and ended the topic of weapons. Tiona and Aisi also felt that what Lieyan said made sense.
All the important affairs of the clan have been controlled by Finn, who is recognized as the external brain by the whole clan and even the whole of Orario. Although the saying goes that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, these three cobblers are not able to surpass Finn's ideas.
Because Finn is cheating.
The effect of his golden finger is very powerful, just like some southerners predicting that the probability of rain is 100%, his golden finger is no less effective.
Although there seems to be no movement now, given Finn's personality, Lieyan fully believes that when the right time comes, Finn will directly come up with a whole set of contingency plans to execute them.
After all, Yanhuo Village has never hidden anything from its allies, and sincerity is their main focus.
"I didn't expect it would be this time now."
"Yeah, it's very late, the cafeteria must have closed. I'm so hungry, I want to eat lots of meat..."
Lieyan looked up at the moon above his head, calculated in his mind, and then sighed.
At this time, I guess I have to skip Livilia's classes.
I was forced to indulge in training without realizing it. I had been thinking of coming back tonight to find Loki to update my ability values, but now it seems I can only wait until tomorrow. I don't know how much my endurance and strength can be improved after undergoing this level of devilish training.
Lieyan thought with some regret in his heart.
As soon as Lieyan said the words about time, Aisi's body trembled instantly and her eyes suddenly became a little empty.
Speaking of time... Isn't it like I'm going to the dungeon until late at night like before? If so, Livilia...
