One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

If Link were asked to comment on Lokrak, he would only have one thing to say.

“Prosperity, extraordinary prosperity.”

This huge city standing in the desert has an ancient and mysterious appearance.

The city's buildings adopt the orange-yellow hue unique to the desert, as if they grew naturally from this barren land. The weathering marks on the surface of the rocks are mottled, adding a sense of antiquity and vicissitudes to the city.

From a distance, you can see countless huge airships, like giant whales floating in the endless blue sky, they slowly cruise above the city.

The airships were connected by thin cables, forming a huge network that covered the entire city under its protection.

Compared with small mountain villages like Jieyun Village and Yanhuo Village, Lokrak is undoubtedly a big city.

When Link brought the cat and dog to the foot of the huge rock, there was an exquisite elevator designed specifically for travelers.

This elevator looks simple and solid, built with rows of thick logs. It is cleverly constructed, utilizing the natural grooves next to the huge rock, with a portion of it embedded in the rock.

"Welcome to Lokrak, you are a hunter, right? Do you need a guide, meow?"

An Elu cat wearing an orange-red work uniform was standing in the elevator. From her words, we could tell that she was the special tour guide here.

"No, I plan to go around first. If I get lost, I'll come back to find you."

Link chuckled and rejected her. He preferred to explore on his own rather than be guided by others step by step.

"Okay meow."

Although Felynx was rejected, he did not show any displeasure.

It gently waved its tail a few times and accurately manipulated the elevator button to start it.

As the mechanical device slowly started up, the ladder rose steadily.

When the elevator reached the top and Link's feet actually stepped into the city, he realized how prosperous this city was.

The city's architectural style is rough and majestic, and every house is carefully decorated.

The streets are lined with shops filled with all kinds of goods, competing with each other for beauty, and the sounds of shouting and bargaining can be heard one after another.

The road was bustling with people coming and going, including local residents and hunters wearing armor and carrying weapons.

There were even quite a few riders riding the Yellow Speed Dragon King, wearing standard armor and patrolling everywhere.

Link's eyes swept over the riders riding the monsters.

It was the first time he saw a group of organized riders. Although they were riding a group of two-star monsters, they were still very majestic.

The Yellow Velociraptor is a bird-dragon monster that lives in the desert. It looks not much different from the Weasel Dragon King. It has the appearance of a velociraptor, but is smaller. It is 7 meters long and about one kun meter high.

This monster is not rare. The yellow speed dragon is a social creature. As long as you find their nest and harvest a batch of dragon eggs, after years of incubation and cultivation, almost all yellow speed dragons can grow into yellow speed dragon kings.

It is one of the easiest mounts to train.

To be honest, Link was actually quite envious of these Yellow Speed Dragon Kings.

"Their tongues must be very delicious. They look like duck tongues."

"..."

Duoduo, who was following Link, didn't know what to say and was speechless.

Fortunately, these words were not heard by the riders, otherwise they would definitely have confronted Link.

For the riders, the monsters they have raised since childhood are not only partners, but also comrades-in-arms.

It is absolutely not allowed to be desecrated by outsiders.

"Where are we going next, meow?"

Since Soran was not around, Duoduo, the follower cat, took Link as his backbone and asked him about his next plan.

"...Let's eat first."

Link looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, almost noon.

"As expected of you, meow."

Although they had only been together for a short time, Duoduo still saw through Link.

Just a pure foodie.

"So where do you want to eat, meow?"

"Well, it's my first time here, so I'll definitely have to ask the locals where the best restaurants are."

As he spoke, Link took a step forward and walked towards the group of riders who were obviously locals.

"Hello, may I bother you for a moment?"

Link led the cat and dog and slowly walked to a rider riding a majestic Yellow Speed Dragon King. He bowed slightly and asked politely.

The rider who was sitting on the back of the Yellow Speed Dragon King and was spoken to by Link looked down at him. From his unique flaming outfit, he could tell that he was not a resident of this place. He responded in a steady voice.

"You are from another place, right? If you want to ride the Yellow Speed Dragon King, come back after we change shifts at night."

When Link heard this, he was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm? Aren't you here to experience riding the Yellow Speed Dragon King?"

This rider was also puzzled. Usually, tourists from other places would approach them and ask if they could ride the Yellow Speed Dragon King to experience the feeling of being a rider.

Why doesn't this person in front of me play by the rules?

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I wanted to ask where the best restaurant is."

Link waved his hand and explained that he had ridden the Golden Thunder God yesterday. Although there was no saddle and his butt hurt, it was still nothing compared to the Yellow Speed Dragon King.

After all, having ridden in a Mercedes-Benz, who would want to ride in an AE86?

Even if this Mercedes is unfinished.

"It's a shame not to ride. If you want to find the best restaurant, go straight on the road ahead, turn left at the second intersection, then turn right. Go straight and you will see a grocery store. Turn into the alley next to it and walk all the way to the end. You will see a blacksmith shop that makes equipment. The restaurant next to it is it."

Seeing that Link came to ask for directions, the rider sighed with some regret, then raised his hand and pointed him to a clear way.

Duoduo, who was standing next to him, was confused by what he heard. Just when he was about to pull Link's hand and ask again, he found that he just walked straight towards there without any hesitation.

"Meow meow meow? Link, have you memorized such a complicated route?"

Duoduo quickly caught up with Link.

"Haha, if you can't even remember this, then how can you be a foodie?"

Link rubbed Duoduo's soft cat ears, pinched them gently, and smiled.

Just kidding, he had gone through a lot of detours in his previous life in search of delicious food.

You have to know that in many big cities, the real delicacies cannot be found in big restaurants or hotels.

Some century-old shops may be hidden in inconspicuous streets and alleys.

The first time I went to find these fly-in-the-wall restaurants, asking for directions was much more complicated than this.

Some restaurants even specialize in private dishes and are hidden in residential buildings, serving only acquaintances.

If you want to eat, but don’t have any connections, you won’t even know where it is.

Next, Link took Duoduo and Matsutake and walked straight all the way, turned left at the second intersection, then turned right and walked straight all the way. Then he saw a grocery store, then turned into the alley next to it, walked all the way to the end, and saw a blacksmith shop that made equipment, a rather quaint little restaurant on his left, and a big restaurant on his right.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are there two restaurants? Which one should we go to?"

Duoduo was suddenly a little dumbfounded, his little head swaying left and right, and finally stopped on the big hotel.

It guessed that since it was the restaurant with the best food, it must be the big hotel with a lot of people coming and going and doing a booming business.
