Monster Hunter from League of Legends

Looking at Fane in front of her, Xiaona's eyes were no longer filled with hatred like at the beginning, but with kind expectation and a faint flattery - just like a drowning person looking at the last straw floating on the water.

Perhaps this straw couldn't save her from her predicament at all, but how much time could someone in such a desperate situation have to think carefully? At least, for now, Xiaona had no time to think about anything else.

"You seem to have something to say?"

Touching his chin, Faan's eyes were filled with interest.

As if noticing her own gaffe, Shawna fell silent briefly in response to Faun's questioning. But after a moment, her heart quieted, and amidst a wave of calming pheromones, Shawna smiled endearingly and bowed slightly toward Faun.

"Please guide me."

"Guidance on what?"

"Hunting demons."

Shawna said calmly, "I know nothing about the existence of black magic, but I thirst for revenge. Frey deceived me, but your request for the codex means that Frey does indeed possess the relevant techniques. I cannot defeat you, but I want to learn the techniques and hunt demons."

After hearing Xiaona's words, Fan nodded thoughtfully.

The main reason Faan sought out Shauna was to find Frey's Demon Hunter's Notes. While magic was common in Runeterra, few, outside of the Order of the Kinkou in Ionia, possessed true demon-hunting skills.

Especially in Freljord, where there is no soil for demons to survive, there will naturally be no derivative businesses that arise because of the existence of demons - that's not to say that there are none at all. In terms of nature, Freljord also has some special professions, such as Beast Walkers. The way they tame, fight against, and control beast spirits is actually very similar to hunting demons.

But beast spirits and demons are fundamentally different. For Faan in particular, fighting demons is easy, but finding and tracking them is a problem.

Now that he had the notebook, it was reasonable for him to just walk away. After all, Shawna Vayne was one of the most insane people in all of Runeterra. Though still quite immature, her mental issues were already quite evident. But observing Shawna's rapid shifts in mood and state, Fain suddenly felt that to be a playable character in the game, Shawna truly had some real talent.

“You have many qualities that you haven’t discovered yet.”

"...?"

After hearing what Fane said, Xiaona looked up with some confusion.

But Faan did not hide it, but said calmly: "Who am I in your eyes?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Shauna said hesitantly, "Freljordians?"

"Wrong, change it."

"...Lord of the Icefield?"

"wrong."

"Warmaster?"

Xiaona's face was full of confusion. She didn't understand why Fan asked this, but she kept thinking, trying to give the answer and get what she wanted.

"It's the hunter."

"hunter?"

Shawna seemed bewildered. She didn't understand why Faan would deny all others for this one identity. Was it because Hunter was more important than Icelord, Warmaster, or even Freljord origin? Or was it more precious, more noble? Why did he keep mentioning it this way...

In response, Fine said: "Hunting is humanity's oldest sport. It has existed since the dawn of humanity. The most important things in hunting are passion, patience, calmness, and determination."

"Fanatical focus, patient waiting, calm analysis, and finally, decisiveness, hunting the prey before it even senses danger. Perhaps you haven't realized it yourself, but your ability to quickly immerse yourself in the state you desire is a great talent for a hunter."

Hearing this, Xiaona felt a surge of excitement, as if receiving praise from Fahn. However, before this spark could even begin to rise, it was extinguished by her inner calmness. She then whispered, "Please guide me."

"No old hunter would refuse to train a new hunter."

Having said that, Faan looked at Xiaona with interest and said, "But what did you pay for it?"

"All I have to give."

"Table Ai."

"..."

Xiaona fell silent, but then a smile appeared on her face. But when she looked at Fane, she saw Fane's face full of sighs:

"I don't know whether to call you tenacious or stubborn. Even when your subconscious and ego are resisting, you're still able to forcefully suppress your instincts and force out this genuine smile."

"If you need it."

Shawna said calmly.

"It's a pity, but my bottom line is that both parties agree..."

Rubbing his brows, Faan, who had already sensed the true thoughts contained in Xiaona's pheromones before he spoke, said irritably:

"I wish I had let you kill Frey. Then I could have felt comfortable calling you a bad girl. But you're not a future psychopath yet, so I was a little hesitant to do it. Alas, having too high a moral compass is not good."

Listening to Faen's sigh, Xiaona didn't say anything, and her expression slowly returned to calm because she didn't know what Faen's purpose was.

Looking at Xiaona, Fane said, "But you do have a good talent. It would be a shame if you didn't become a hunter."

"Please guide me."

Shawna's meaning was clear: she had made all the preparations and had the determination to give it her all.

Facing Xiaona's request, this time Fan did not continue to teach, but stretched out a finger.

This time, Xiaona also showed her excellent qualities. She quickly and decisively put it into her mouth before the pheromones were produced.

It’s too late. I spent some time with my family during the day. I’ll post four updates today and five updates tomorrow.

Chapter 12 Light Crossbow.

Looking at Xiaona's decisive and quick response, Fan nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to her initial reaction when she mentioned Zhuo Ai without even pretending, Xiaona's reaction speed now was undoubtedly extremely fast. After realizing Fane's request, she quickly understood what it meant to hunt the prey before they sensed danger.

Hunting requires patience, but that doesn't guarantee success. Quite the opposite: during this patient waiting process, along with focused attention, both humans and animals unconsciously produce pheromones. These pheromones are part of the body's metabolism, much like our natural body odor or body odor, and are difficult to eradicate.

In this case, the command changed from "Zhuo Ai" to an outstretched finger. Even without issuing corresponding commands, the hunter could quickly understand and react physically, and attack quickly before instinctively resisting. This is undoubtedly an excellent quality of the hunter.

"Not bad, decisive enough, and well prepared."

As he spoke, Faan enthusiastically inserted his thumb in, pulling on Shauna's tongue and rubbing it gently.

Shawna's body and instincts also reacted during this process. Although she did not show any resistance or opposition, through the perception of pheromones, Fane could feel that Shawna was not happy in her heart, and was even full of disgust, but she did not show it in her behavior or even expression.

After retracting his hand, Fan wiped Xiaona's face. Looking at Xiaona who had no reaction but was increasingly disgusted with her, Fan felt a little emotional.

I thought I could be more patient and put on a show after leaving the Freljord, but now I've just arrived in Demacia and I'm already saying I won't eat beef and putting an innocent girl under an obedience test... well, not innocent at all.

Thinking this, Faan pulled out a mat and tossed it on the ground before him. Then, under Xiaona's narrowed eyes, he pulled out a large amount of food. With its own stasis field, the food from the system's warehouse still retained the aroma of freshly grilled meat and charcoal fire. While for ordinary people, eating such rich food so early in the morning would be a serious burden on the stomach, for a hunter, it was not a problem.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"...not hungry."

Xiaona spoke calmly, but as the aroma spread, her throat couldn't help but swallow repeatedly. As if noticing Fahn's gaze, Xiaona quickly regained her composure. Unfortunately, beneath her outward calm, she had just woken up to such a battle this early in the morning. With the adrenaline levels returning to normal after leaving the battle, Xiaona's body quickly reached its limit.

Even though I was still standing there, my stomach was already making a rumbling sound—gurgling.

"Eat."

Fain shrugged. "A good hunter must learn to seize every opportunity to quickly replenish calories. Hunting itself is a process of competing with prey to consume more calories."

"……OK."

Shawna nodded, but still retaining the demeanor of a wealthy lady, she picked up a knife and fork from the side and ate quietly. In contrast, although Fain also had a knife and fork, he only used it to cut large pieces of meat that were difficult to grasp, and then shoveled it into his mouth like a pancake.

Although it looked a bit rough, Xiaona realized that Faan had no intention of hurting herself, and she had to admit that watching Faan eating could easily arouse her appetite.

Thinking this, Xiaona also put the small piece of meat into her mouth. Because her tongue still felt rubbed, Xiaona felt uncomfortable at first. But as she chewed, an indescribable rich aroma filled her mouth. Even though her subconscious was filled with resistance, her hungry body's craving for fat was satisfied, and Xiaona still felt a sense of relaxation and satisfaction, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although your physical fitness is somewhat poor, you have great talent."

Faan said calmly, "So what we need to do next is to strengthen our training and choose a weapon that suits us."

After hearing this, Xiaona said after a brief silence: "What do you think I am suitable for?"

"Light crossbow."

Fane glanced at the heavy crossbow that Xiaona had used to shoot the holy silver crossbow arrows.

"Light crossbow?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Na looked puzzled, then stood up and ran away. After a moment, she ran back with a silver crossbow on her arm.

The crossbow was exquisitely designed, with the bowstring tensioning and firing connected to the finger joints. Simply flicking the finger would automatically draw the bow, load, and fire. The palm-length holy silver crossbow arrows were replenished from the side using a clip. Plated entirely with silver, they looked like exquisite works of art.

It's almost like a work of art.

Fane also raised his hand, and with the release of the mechanism, the dragon tendon hook broke through the air, and the small tree as thick as a bowl was directly broken in the middle.

"The crossbow arrows aren't even as thick as the prey's hide. Although the mechanism is ingenious, its size limits the bow's output. Let alone penetrating bullets, they're not even half as effective as regular bullets..."

Fine said slowly, "Put away your toys."

Upon hearing this, Xiaona's lips twitched slightly, and then she silently put away her crossbow. Then, Fain took the foldable light machine gun out of the warehouse and placed it on the ground.

bump.

The crossbow fell to the ground with a thumping sound, which silenced the already silent Xiaona Grammar.

Looking at the big lump of iron, Xiaona turned her gaze to Fane, her eyes filled with confusion in her calmness - you call this a light crossbow?

Faan shrugged—that's indeed the case with our light crossbows.

It's called a heavy crossbow, but the heavy crossbow Xiaona uses is at best a light crossbow in the Monster Hunter universe. This is similar to the dual blades and one-handed swords in the Monster Hunter universe. To a normal person, dual blades are on par with heavy swords, and even heavier than ordinary heavy swords.

After all, in his first Earth life, the combat-ready two-handed sword in the Budapest History Museum in Hungary weighed only 3.6 kilograms, and it was one of the heaviest combat-ready two-handed swords. Normal two-handed greatswords usually weighed around kilograms.

As for the one-handed sword, its thickness alone looked to be at least ten kilograms. Once swung, the centrifugal force would increase its weight exponentially.

In this case, the heavy crossbow in Monster Hunter World is more like a heavy machine gun than a heavy crossbow - considering the existence of diffuse bombs, sniper dragon bombs, and mechanical dragon bombs, it is not wrong to call it a mortar, anti-material weapon, and heavy machine gun.

As for the light crossbow...

Take the 1r Swift Light Crossbow as an example. It is called "Light Crossbow" in the equipment information.

Does anyone know of a website with information about the Warhammer 40 setting or the original novels? I've got a few ideas I'd like to share.

Chapter 13 The truth of Runeterra.

Looking at the big lump of iron in Fane's hand, Xiaona didn't know what to say for a moment. She just sat there quietly looking at Fane without saying a word.

With her sharp mind, she had already guessed that Fane could sense some of her thoughts through some means... perhaps smell, or perhaps something else.

Faan didn't hide it. He sensed Xiaona's doubts and said, "If you have any doubts, just tell me. I can sense some of your emotions, but this perception is very simple. If there is a problem you want to solve, it's best to speak up yourself."

Nodding, Xiaona pointed at the large iron lump in Fain's hand and said, "I can't use it. It's too heavy."

"Then exercise."

Faan said, "Although I'm not a good person, I won't hide anything when it comes to teaching. This light crossbow is the lightest I have. As long as you can pick it up, you can use it properly."

Fann didn't intend to embarrass Xiaona—this wasn't the old world where teaching an apprentice would starve the master to death. Although during his interactions with Xiaona, the proportion of small heads was indeed slightly higher than that of large heads, Fann truly believed that Xiaona had a great talent for teaching.

As for the light crossbow... This light crossbow cannon is made by quickly processing iron blocks. Although some of the crudely made parts are quite obvious due to mass production, it has been designed and debugged by the master craftsmen of the Hunter Guild. Even a layman can perform decent shooting after simple training.

Its crude construction wasn't intentional; it was primarily to facilitate the replacement of accessories and the use of different caliber bullets. Furthermore, this simple structure made it easier to repair in the field—just like military weapons, lethality was one thing, but stability was even more important.

"It looks crude, but you don't need anything too good since you're a beginner."

Faan said calmly, "When hunting outdoors, exposed to the wind and sun, the accessories may rust. This simple structure is actually more convenient. Just find a stone or hardwood like animal bone, polish it, and you can put it in and continue using it."

As he spoke, Fain loaded a normal bullet, then raised one hand and pulled the trigger.

With a bang, the small tree, as thick as a bowl, broke. Xiaona's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw it, and then she said, "Then how should I exercise?"

"Unleash the magical power within you."

After hearing what Faan said, Xiaona's mood and expression, which had originally calmed down, quickly darkened, but she quickly recovered her surface calmness and said calmly: "I don't know dirty magic."

"See, this is the misunderstanding you've had for so long."

Fan looked at Xiaona leisurely, as if he had guessed that Xiaona would answer like this.

After hearing what Fain said, Xiaona was puzzled after a brief silence, and then said: "...What does this mean?"
