The stairs leading to the Grand Hall are so long that it’s frustrating.
Gordon and Hayata, fully armed, walked up step by step.
It may be a lot easier to change into light clothes.
But the person they were about to meet was one of the founders of the Hunter Guild. The current leader of the guild was also the great elder of the strongest hunter.
Of course you can't be so rude and casual.
——Armor and armor are the formal wear and formal attire of hunters.
Two guild knights wearing silver armor and holding heavy metal spears walked up and blocked their way with their horizontal spears.
"Only high-ranking hunters are qualified to enter the Great Hall."
The knight's words were rigid and rude, but Gordon and the others didn't pay attention to them. This was the case for law enforcers or troops maintaining law and order.
Gordon handed over the letter given to him by the white cat envoy.
The guild knight unfolded the letter, carefully checked the writing on it and the guild seal, then raised his spear and allowed the two people to pass.
The two of them walked up a distance before Gordon lowered his voice and said, "Fortunately, we didn't let Pork Chop Pandan and the others come over, otherwise, seeing as the guild knights did, both Ellu might have stopped them alone."
"Yeah, it's really strict."
Hayata also said in a low voice: "When I first arrived in Dongdoruma, I wanted to visit the Grand Old Hall, but I was stopped too."
"Me too"
"Maybe it's because there are too many hunters who admire the Grand Elder and the Grand Elder Hall. In order to avoid affecting the normal operation, these regulations are in place."
"Maybe."
The two of them continued walking upward.
East Doruma, which is built on the mountain, has three areas. Even the highest "central area" is only on the mountainside.
The Grand Hall is located alone near the top of the mountain.
Majestic and imposing.
Gordon and the others who came to the Great Hall kept raising their heads.
Suddenly, I somewhat understood the perspective of the Elcats.
Everything here is extremely huge, and the height of the gate is more than ten meters. It feels like you have arrived in the country of giants.
At the gate of the Great Hall, after another check of letters, Gordon Hayata was finally able to enter this magnificent building.
The exceptionally high ceiling and huge door pillars seem to carry a sense of majesty.
The floors in the hall are all paved with polished marble. They are hard and flat, and so bright that they can almost make out human figures.
The two Gordons were a little worried at first. They didn't know what the procedure was for meeting the great elder, and whether there were any special rules and etiquette.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the foyer of the Great Hall, he saw a few familiar people.
Gordon walked up to greet them, "Master, supervisor, Mr. Amos, and Julius, long time no see. Nadia too, how are you doing recently?"
Master Craftsman and Yamos responded with smiles, and the guild leader also tapped his chin.
But Julius and Nadia seemed a little unusual. The former had an expressionless face, while the latter, who had a cheerful and generous personality, only reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth at him.
The mood seemed very low.
Then he looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old red-haired boy who was following Julius, wearing a hunter suit and also looking disappointed.
Gordon was confused.
So what is going on? Julius has a new apprentice?
A tall dragon woman came over and said to everyone: "Everyone, come with me."
Everyone followed her towards the interior of the Great Hall.
"Master, what happened?" Gordon heard Hayata, who was following Yamos, ask in a low voice.
Yamos said softly: "Don't worry, it's a good thing."
Under the leadership of the Zailong female, they came to a hall of thousands of square meters, with a high platform in the center.
An incredibly tall figure was sitting on a high platform.
The Dragonite woman left.
The guild leader led everyone up to the high platform, and then stood alone at the position where the giant struck.
Master Jiang and Yamos bowed, and the young people also bowed quickly.
"Great Elder."
"Huhu, no need to be polite." A thunderous old voice echoed in the hall.
Gordon looked up.
The Great Elder is an old dragon man with a big beard and eyebrows. Unlike the short and rickety figure of Kokot Village Chief, the Great Elder is a true giant.
Because he was sitting, Gordon could not accurately judge his height.
I can only make a simple comparison.
The tallest among the visitors, I was only as tall as the opponent's calf, considering the proportions of the elderly dragon man's body and the opponent's high bulging head.
The height of the great elder should be in the range of seven to ten meters.
Eat what you grow.
"What great young people."
The great elder stared at everyone for a few seconds, then rumbled: "Kampei (Master Jiang's real name), you have taught two outstanding disciples, and Yamos, your disciples are also quite good."
The master smiled and said: "I did teach Julius single-handedly. I don't dare to take credit for that kid Gordon. It was Ernest and that hero who took the credit."
"My disciple is not mature enough." Yamos said this, but his eyes were quite proud.
"Huhuhu, you are all too modest."
The Great Elder smiled in a low voice, "Young men, please come forward. Don't be so formal. Just treat me as an ordinary senior hunter."
The master and Yamos smiled and got out of the way, and Gordon and others stepped forward.
"Julius, Nadia, and of course the newcomer Aiden, they all contributed a lot to repelling the migrating Flame Dragon at the border and saving the village."
"We were not the ones to repel them!"
Julius raised his head and lost control of his emotions, "It was the two companions who paid the price with their lives to cover, blew up the dike, and washed away the village, so that guy was washed away!"
"Julius." Nadia pulled Julius's sleeve.
Julius took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, Great Elder, I lost my temper."
"It doesn't matter."
The great elder put his hands on his knees and leaned forward, "The ancient dragon species has never been an entity that can be easily defeated. At least you evacuated the villagers in advance and avoided the further spread of the disaster.
This is an undeniable achievement.
As for the sacrifice of your companions, there is no need to blame yourself too much, just bear their will and belief and continue on. "
"yes."
"I see."
Nadia and Julius lowered their heads and stepped aside.
The great elder paused and continued: "Gordon, Hayata, you assisted the superior hunter Yamos to repel Qilin and avoid a more serious ecological disaster. This is also an amazing achievement."
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other.
Although the battle against Qilin under the snowy mountains was also a narrow escape.
But I always feel that it is difficult to compare with the tragic battle that Julius and the others experienced.
After all, they have high-ranking hunter Yamos as their main combat force.
The great elder saw through their thoughts.
"Huhuhu, don't underestimate Qilin too much."
The Great Elder smiled and said: "Due to certain existences deep in the Snowy Mountains, the migrating unicorn will not stay deep in the main peak for a long time, and will eventually go down the Snowy Mountains.
Kirin has a relatively docile nature, but its ability to cause thunderstorms, even unintentionally, can destroy villages that stand in its way.
You helped the seriously injured Yamos, stopped the Qilin, and finally repelled it, blocking it before the disaster happened. Such achievements are no less than those of Julius and the others. "
Ps.
The battle to defeat the Flame Princess Dragon comes from the animated movie "Legend of the Guild". Although it looks rubbish and has poor reviews, it explains how Sunshine Brother got to know Julius and the others, and it also adds a lot of background.
If you're free and your balls hurt, you can go watch it. Personally, I think the only exciting part is the battle between the Peach-haired Beast King and the Terror Tyrannosaurus emmmmm
