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

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains and sprinkled on the stone floor of the guest room on the third floor of the Hunter's Guild, Link slowly opened his eyes.

"Huh, although it's not as soft as the bed in Jieyun Village, the bed in Lockrak is also quite comfortable."

Link sat up, taking in the silence that surrounded him.

He had spent a comfortable first night in Rocklark, had a good night's sleep, and now felt refreshed.

I reached out and opened the curtains at the head of the bed, and the warm sunlight from outside immediately shone in.

The weather is very good today. It is a sunny day outside with no clouds in the sky. The blue sky is clear and there are occasionally a few airships passing by in the sky, acting as white clouds.

In the distance is a beautiful scene of yellow sand all over the ground, which is coated with a golden coat by the sun, like a golden ocean.

Thinking back to what happened last night, Link sighed softly in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He gently rubbed his temple with his hand, and the pain there still reminded him that everything that happened last night was not a dream.

"I've never seen such a warm welcome."

Link muttered to himself, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

After a night's rest, he finally remembered what happened yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, he was surrounded by the hunters of Lokrak. Faced with these hospitable desert people, he could not bear to refuse, so he gritted his teeth and attended the welcome party.

At the beginning, the two sides played the traditional game between hunters, arm wrestling.

Then he started drinking.

He was still drinking strong liquor, and as he drank, he started to take off his clothes.

By the time he had taken off his clothes, he was already drunk.

Link also gained something from yesterday's welcome party. In the lively and festive atmosphere, he made the acquaintance of several "friends" with unique personalities.

Link got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and quietly opened the door. Outside was a bright corridor. The early morning sunlight poured in through the window, dispelling the darkness.

He looked around. It was quiet all around, completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of yesterday.

"They shouldn't still be sleeping."

Link stepped out of the door, thought for a moment, and decided to go have breakfast first.

He slowly descended the stone stairs, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

The main body of Locklak's buildings are mostly made of stone, in order to better resist the erosion of wind and sand.

When Link arrived at the guild hall, Luna was the only one sitting at the bar, drinking.

"Ah, Brother Link, you're up pretty early. Would you like a drink?"

Luna shook the wine glass in her hand with a playful smile on her lips.

"No, I don't want to die young yet."

Link shook his head helplessly, unable to stand this drunkard woman who invited him to drink with her so early in the morning.

"By the way, aren't they up yet? Not working and hunting?"

Link leaned on a high stool, chatting with Luna in a casual manner.

At this point in time, in Yanhuo Village and Jieyun Village, most people have already started a new day and are busy with work, but here, those drunkards haven't even gotten up yet.

Luna shrugged her shoulders slightly, and her long hair, which shone with golden luster like a waterfall, inadvertently slid down as she moved, sprinkling all over her slender shoulders.

She stared at Link with her bright eyes and said indifferently.

"This group of guys is like this. Isn't the Fengshan Dragon Festival coming soon? They take advantage of this time to go to Fengshan Dragon to dig for ore and make a fortune. Then they use the money to eat, drink and have fun until the next Fengshan Dragon Festival comes."

"...6."

After hearing this, Link was silent for a moment, and finally understood why these people were like this.

It turns out that they were not just drinking yesterday, but drinking every day.

"By the way, I'm a little hungry. I think I forgot to eat last night. Do you provide breakfast here?"

Link rubbed his belly and looked at Luna, hoping that the guild's poster girl could provide some local specialties for breakfast.

Luna took out an elegant wine bottle and placed it on the table with a 'bang', and said with a bright smile.

"Of course, the dragon wine from the New World is definitely strong enough. I guarantee that once you finish drinking it, you won't have to worry about being hungry anymore."

"Snapped!"

"I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that you would drink wine like water, but I didn't know you would eat this for breakfast. Indeed, if you get drunk to death, you don't have to worry about eating."

Link slapped his forehead hard and pushed back the bottle of dragon wine that Luna had taken out.

"I can't afford it. Is there anything I can eat to fill my stomach? No kidding."

"Tsk, this is so boring. I hope you can stay here for two more days and still stay like this."

"Boom!"

Luna's right thumb gently pressed against the cork on the top of the bottle, and then with a slight force, she opened the tightly locked cork with the force that could have opened Marutori's skull.

As the cork popped out, the air was immediately filled with a strong and spicy aroma of wine.

When Link smelled this, his face suddenly turned pale.

He remembered that some bastard had stuffed a bottle of this stuff into his mouth last night, and he passed out.

Luna didn't care about that. She just put the bottle mouth to her mouth and blew hard.

"Dun, dun, dun, huh, so refreshing. I have to drink dragon wine to stimulate my appetite in the morning."

Luna drank a bottle of dragon wine in one breath and exhaled a breath full of the smell of alcohol.

"Brother, you really don't want a bottle? The taste of this dragon wine is like rock under the scorching sun, spicy with a hint of sweetness, very delicious."

After saying that, Luna took out a bottle of dragon wine from somewhere and placed it in front of Link.

"No, that was an accident yesterday. From today on, I will never drink with you again."

Link's face was calm, and he did not show any sign of wavering because of Luna's enthusiastic invitation. He once again rejected his "good intention" and stood up and walked out the door.

"No more chatting, I'm going to have breakfast."

Link's words were concise and powerful, leaving Luna no room for persuasion.

"Hey, every hunter new to Rocklark says that at one point, but..."

Luna sat at the bar, watching Link's departing back and laughing.

Link ignored Luna's words. He was as hard as stone and indestructible. He would not be shaken by such words. If he said he didn't want to drink, then he wouldn't drink. Even if his father came, it would be of no use.

"Oh, by the way, if you want to have breakfast, go to the restaurant to the right of the blacksmith shop. Their special set meal tastes very good and is very cheap. Please bring me one on your way back."

"understood."

Link pushed open the door of the guild and walked out.

Stepping out of the guild gate, Link glanced at the bustling city in the distance. Just like when he came here yesterday, there was still no one in front of the guild gate.

There was only the endless stream of people in the distance and the cries of vendors, which came from far away but could not be heard clearly because of the distance.

He straightened his collar and was about to take a step forward when a familiar-looking flatbed truck appeared at the end of his sight.

There was a familiar figure lying on the flatbed.
