Chapter 1590 [Future Talk] Port and Winery
(This is an epilogue, not a spin-off, which is the timeline after the main story ends)
The rebuilt Minagard Port is much larger than before and the number of berths has also increased significantly.
Ocean-going fishing vessels, various types of cargo ships, passenger ships, dragon boats for hunting sea beasts, and even the rare large airships can all find suitable berths here.
At this time, an extremely huge flying ship with a length of more than 50 meters slowly descended from the clouds and finally landed next to a special bracket for large airships, attracting surprised glances from passing travelers and merchants.
Someone recognized the identity of this airship.
It is the world-famous large scientific research airship known as the aerial laboratory - the Longshi Ship!
After landing in the berth, the cables and anchor hooks that fixed the hull were locked, and the Longshi ship was firmly fixed on the bracket, and the mooring work was successfully completed.
The investigation captain, who was often mistaken for a woman because of his delicate appearance, breathed a sigh of relief.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye since he was entrusted with the important task of commanding the Dragon Ship when he was a teenager.
The young and shy dragon man has now transformed into a mature and experienced commander, captain, and biologist.
But even so, he was still nervous about the docking process of the Dragon Knowledge Ship.
For a flying ship of this size, even the slightest mistake during the landing process could trigger a chain reaction and cause unexpected accidents.
"I don't know what you're so nervous about."
While putting on a cloak to cover the overly conspicuous red armor on her body, she walked out of the cabin and curled her lips at Feng Ying who was walking towards the front deck.
"This thing is very durable. It's not likely to get into an accident. Didn't the black dragon get killed by it?"
The captain of the investigation showed a helpless expression on his face, "It was the 'Third Princess' that hit the black dragon, not the Dragon Identification Ship."
"They are all the same type of ships, almost the same!" Feng Ying waved her hand heroically to cover up the fact that she had remembered it wrong.
The captain of the investigation team really wanted to have a serious scientific discussion with this guy. Even though they were of the same type, the performance of the two airships was vastly different in all aspects.
But then I thought that this guy probably wouldn't understand, so I just skipped the topic.
"Ms. Feng Ying, thank you very much for your assistance. If you hadn't taken on this mission, the capture of 'Blue Lightning Master' would definitely not have been so smooth."
"Hey! Why are you so polite? We're all brothers!" Feng Ying hooked her hand around the investigation team leader's neck and made a finger-twisting gesture.
"Just give us more rewards, and also! Pick out better materials for us, so we can make a new electric shield axe!
The previous pair of [Yaksha] was a bit damaged, so it’s a good time to replace it! "
"."
The captain of the investigation team's eyes twitched. He really wanted to say that the scholars of the Dragon Calendar Institute had not yet made a decision.
After the research on the 'Blue Lightning Master' came to an end, should it be killed and further dissected, or released back into the wild for subsequent ecological observation?
If it was the latter, Feng Ying's new shield and axe would definitely be gone, and she would probably run to the Grand Elder's Palace in anger.
As one of the only two active nine-star hunters in the world and a member of the long-lived dragon tribe, the Great Elder dotes on her. Moreover, the Great Elder does not support the "release observation experiment" of the Dragon Calendar Institute.
If this matter is reported to the Great Elder, it is estimated that within two days, Dark Night will come with the execution order to supervise the execution.
It seems that they only have one choice?
"Of course, we will select the best materials for you." The investigation team leader said with a wry smile.
"Yeah, okay." Feng Ying patted the young man's back vigorously.
The master hunter's strength caused the frail scholar to stagger, and it was only with the help of the mushroom that he managed to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
"If you encounter this kind of difficult monster next time, remember to contact me. Oh, and say hello to Yuna and the others for me. Now we're leaving!"
After saying that, Feng Ying gave the investigation team leader a thumbs up. She then didn't bother to walk up the gangway and jumped directly from the side of the ship, releasing her Kinsect to relieve the force and landing lightly.
Mushroom and Amber followed closely behind and landed beside her.
Feng Ying moved her body and twisted her waist, making a crackling sound.
Suddenly, Amber looked up and nuzzled her back with her nose.
"What's wrong?" Feng Ying turned around to look.
"Wang! Wang!"
Feng Ying was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the Minagard Port in front of her. A sense of déjà vu that was both familiar and strange came over her.
Twenty years ago, she secretly left her hometown, boarded a ship to the Old World, and arrived at the port of Minagard.
That day, it seemed like he jumped directly off the boat like this.
At that time, she was a beginner who had not even completed her training and had just entered the industry. She was wearing a flame suit that could not even be considered armor, and the weapon on her back was the most basic flame iron single blade.
And now, she is the world-famous nine-star hunter "Bai Feng". Her storage box is filled with top-level shield axes made of forbidden materials, which are unique in the world and rarely seen by ordinary hunters.
"It's been so long." After a few seconds of silence, she muttered softly.
Suddenly I want to go to the meeting house tavern in Minagard, maybe?
Well, there's no such thing as certainty.
Master Gordon and Sister Hayata are guarding the border, and Ansel is also organizing an investigation team to develop the New World.
There's no way he'd show up in the tavern in Minagard.
The four members of the legendary "Silver Edge Hunting Group" have not gathered together to hunt for a long time, not for any other reason, but simply because there is no need.
Even if it is an ancient dragon monster, there is no need for two nine-star or two eight-star hunters to go out at the same time.
Only by assigning them to different places can their combat effectiveness be maximized.
Feng Ying pursed her lips and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"Meow" Noticing Fengying's mood change, Mushroom pulled her fingertips.
Amber also came and rubbed against her.
Feng Ying touched the heads of her hunting companions and felt a little better.
"Let's go! Let's go to the pub and have a good drink!"
Although I am not very interested in drinking, I think I will feel less upset if I get drunk.
A man, a dog and a cat hurried to the meeting place and tavern.
Before pushing the door open, Feng Ying hesitated for a moment, but eventually she tightened her cloak and put on her hood.
Anyway, she didn't have many acquaintances in Minagard. The Alcohol Squad, which she was close to, had been disbanded after the Black Dragon War.
As for the younger generations who regard her as their idol.
If it were ten or twenty years ago, she might have enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and the center of attention.
But now, it just gives me a headache.
In addition to various reasons such as the [Dragon Pattern] armor is not suitable for ordinary people to touch, she usually behaves more distant in front of strangers.
Therefore, in recent years, rumors have spread among the hunter community that "Lord Baifeng is a taciturn, cold-tempered lone ranger."
She was too lazy to clarify the misunderstanding and was just relaxed.
I reached out and pushed open the wooden door that had been rubbed to a shine, and the not-so-pleasant air smelled of alcohol and sweat.
Most of the meeting places and pubs in this world have this smell, and she has long been accustomed to it.
Oh no, Yanhuo Village is an exception.
There was no wine or meat in the gathering place, only rabbit dumplings and cherry blossoms, so not only was there no peculiar smell, but there was also a faint scent of grass and wood.
Somewhat homesick.
I haven’t seen Lieyan and my sisters for two or three years. After I finish things here, I will go back to Yanhuo Village.
Feng Ying thought so and walked into the meeting hall silently.
The figure wrapped in a cloak attracted the attention of some hunters in the tavern.
But everyone's eyes did not stay on her for too long. It was not strange for a traveling hunter to wear a cloak.
A tightly drawn hood means that the person has little interest in communicating with others, and generally no one would bother themselves with that.
Feng Ying glanced at the task counter through the brim of her hood.
Behind the counter was a young receptionist who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She didn't know her, but her light green uniform made her feel a sense of familiarity.
Sister Tikki and Nellie also wore this.
Sighing silently, Feng Ying came to the tavern area and found a secluded spot to sit down.
She picked up the menu and was about to order a few dishes when a figure sat down at her table.
There were obviously still many empty tables around. Feng Ying, who had no intention of sharing a table, frowned and looked up, preparing to say something to this uninvited guest.
But when she saw the person's face clearly, she was stunned.
The other person's facial features can still be vaguely seen as they used to be, but his temperament has become much more mature and capable.
"Sister Tikki?!"
"Oh~! I miss this name so much. It's been a long time since anyone called me sister. Those guys like to call me supervisor or something like that. Some nasty brats even call me aunt. It makes me so angry!"
The other party looked at her with a smile, "Long time no see, Xiao Fengying."
Feng Ying lifted her hood and said in surprise, "So you're still working at the gathering place!"
"Why do you sound so awkward?" Tikki pouted, "Ah! Cute little kitty, come and give me a hug!"
As he said this, he picked up the mushroom beside him.
Mushroom had no choice but to let her rub it.
After fiddling with it for a while, Tikki looked up and said, "By the way, why did Lord Whitewind suddenly come to Minagard?
There shouldn't be any monsters around recently that are worthy of a strong man of your level to personally fight against, right?"
Feng Ying changed to a more comfortable sitting position and explained, "I was just passing by. I just completed a mission with the Dragon Calendar Institute's investigation team. The Dragon Knowledge ship was replenishing supplies at this port, so I got off the ship here and just wandered around."
"I see. So you're not busy?"
"What are you doing? Are you conscripting men?" Feng Ying glanced at her sideways.
"No, things are pretty peaceful in the Shuret area recently." Tikki smiled and waved her hand, "If you have time, find a time to meet up with old friends."
Feng Ying's eyes lit up. "Old friends? Brother Ted and the others? Is Nellie also there?"
"Of course it's those drunkards. You probably won't see Nari. She moved to Pokai Village with that brat named Gene and doesn't come back often."
Feng Ying was very happy to hear the news from her old friends. "Are they okay? After they retired, I didn't get in touch with them much."
"Very good, very good, they are great! Why don't you just take you to meet them instead of saying so much?"
Tikki put the mushroom back on the ground and stood up, "Let's go! We don't have anything important to do today, so I'll take you to Ted's store!"
"Store? They opened a store?" Feng Ying suddenly remembered something. "Are we going now? Of course I'm fine. Don't you have to go to work?"
Tiggy raised her chin proudly, "I am now the director of the Minagard Guild. Who can control me whether I go to work or not, except for President Vanti?
Besides, President Fanti is on a business trip, so there is no need to worry!"
"You are already an aunt in your forties, and you still haven't gotten rid of your bad habit of slacking off."
Tikki’s expression suddenly became terrifying, and she pulled Fengying’s cheek angrily, “Is this the mouth that said such words?!
Besides, you are already in your thirties, much younger than me, right?!"
"I'm from the dragon tribe. Thirty or forty years old is still very young!" Feng Ying winked at her.
Naturally, I got a vicious glare in return.
Under the curious gazes of the people around them, the two of them walked towards the door while bickering.
"That's Supervisor Tikki?"
"probably."
"It's the first time I've seen her like that. She's like a little girl."
"Maybe it's because I met an old friend?"
"Old friend? But the girl in the cloak looks only about twenty years old?"
"That's a dragon family. Maybe they're older than your mother."
Ignoring the whispers behind them, the two came to the outside of the meeting place and walked along the prosperous commercial avenue for a while before Tikki stopped in front of a store.
“That’s it.”
Feng Ying looked up at the sign and sniffed again, "Sure enough, it's a wine shop.
'Alcohol Distillery' sounds a bit weird."
Seeing a customer coming, the veiled proprietress came out to greet them warmly.
Her voice was a little hoarse. "Is this your first time here? We have some great wine from Rocklark! Ah? Is it Tiggy and Xiao Fengying?!"
"Sister Maca!" Feng Ying ran up to her happily and hugged her.
"Kababa!"
"Yeah! Babaka is here too!"
Maka pulled off her veil, revealing her face with burn scars.
She turned her head and shouted into the store, "Hey! Come out! We have a distinguished guest!"
"Here it comes!" a rough voice came out.
A fat, bald man ran out of the store.
