The tavern in Bernard Village was very lively.
"cheers!"
The huge wine glasses collided together, and everyone around the wine table cheered.
There is too much to celebrate at this banquet. The Sky Comet Dragon was successfully defeated, the Silver Bian Team regrouped, Feng Ying successfully hunted the Ceratopsaurus, and was promoted to five stars...
The two youngest girls, Feng Ying and Yuna, shouted the loudest cheers.
More than a week ago, when Gordon and the others followed the Long Shi Ship to investigate the traces of the Sky Comet Dragon in Yiqun Ridge, they successfully hunted the Ceratopsaurus, and Feng Ying, who had been promoted to five stars, returned to Bernard Village.
It turned out that both Master Gordon and the others, as well as her roommate and new best friend Yuna, had "ran away" on the dragon ship, leaving her alone in the village. She couldn't find a few acquaintances to celebrate her promotion.
Numb, I want to bite someone.
Fortunately, Gordon and the others made up for this meal after they came back.
The surprise of sister Hayata's return and the joy of her companions being reunited dissipated the slightest trace of grievance in Feng Ying's heart, and she looked bouncing and cheerful when she walked.
With her sharp eyes, she naturally noticed the new equipment on Hayata's body immediately. After her pestering, Hayata shared her experiences over the past year with her friends.
A traveling group that travels around the world, a disease that causes monsters to go crazy, an encounter with a pen-headed hunting group, a mysterious and dark dragon...
Gordon knew most of this through letters sent by Hayata.
But she finally succeeded in killing the strange black dragon named "Black Eclipse Dragon". This was the first time Gordon heard about it.
Through that emergency mission, she proved her strength and was successfully promoted.
But when she returned to East Doruma, the "Red Star" incident had already occurred. Under such a tense situation, it was naturally impossible for the guild to hold any grand promotion ceremony.
With the current shortage of manpower, Hayatari, who had just completed his promotion, was naturally included in the combat force.
Fortunately, the Great Elder was not completely unreasonable. He personally asked the dragon craftsmen to take action and used the black dragon materials brought back by Hayata as the main materials to create the "black dragon suit" for her, which was also given to her. Added security.
After completing the change of clothes, Hayata was directly assigned to Yiqunling to participate in the investigation.
After hearing what she said, Gordon and the others learned that after the battle at the Peak Dragon Nest, the people sent by the guild to the Yiqun Ridge to investigate and track the injured Sky Comet Dragon were not only the Dragon Sense Ship, but also many high-ranking hunters.
Hayata is one of them.
Her timely arrival was not entirely a coincidence.
The distress signal sent by Ansil was only intended to call for rescue for the seriously injured Agashi, but he did not expect to directly call Hayata who was conducting an investigation mission nearby.
From a certain perspective, can it also be regarded as Ancier’s contribution?
"So, have you found the source of that scale?" Gordon took a sip of ale, put down the glass and asked Hayata.
Hayata shook his head slightly, "Not yet, the leader plans to go to Sinard Village to investigate the matter of the 'Pure White Dragon Scale'.
However, the terrain of Sinard Village is too high, and there are many people and things in the brigade, making it difficult to get up. Yinsana (the blacksmith girl) proposed to transform the brigade’s dragon-fighting boat into a flying boat, which is currently being transformed in Naguli Village. . "
Speaking of this, a trace of shame appeared on Hayata's face, but he continued: "I promised the leader that I would help him find the source of the pure white dragon scales, so after the transformation of the dragon boat is completed, I may still go there for a while. time."
"That's right." Gordon nodded in understanding.
Ancier across the table suddenly raised his head, and he heard something that concerned him very much.
"Pure white dragon scales? What kind of pure white dragon scales?"
...
Transforming a sea ship into a flying ship is not a simple project that can be completed in a week or two. Hayata did not want to be separated from his friends so quickly, so he temporarily settled in Bernard Village.
The village chief uncle arranged for her to live in Yuna's house, sharing it with Yuna and Feng Ying. Although it was not so spacious, Feng Ying and the others, who liked the excitement, were very happy.
While the girls were happily taking care of the room, Gordon and Ancil went straight to the Longliyuan facility built on the hillside behind the village.
The chief researcher personally came out to receive him. He always looked elegant and gentle, but the smile on his face was as bright as ever.
Regarding the successful hunting of the Celestial Comet Dragon, if anyone wanted to say who was happiest, the scholars from the Ryūli Academy would definitely rank high.
For these scholars whose lifelong pursuit is to study the history and evolution of dragons, is there anything more exciting than a complete, fresh, and unfamiliar ancient dragon corpse?
No!
After being lifted back by the Dragon Sense Ship, Tian Huilong's body was immediately sent to the largest research room in Longli Academy. Gordon and the others didn't even have the chance to peel it off.
This is also the main reason why they come to our door...
The chief researcher, who learned of their intentions, immediately gave assurances.
Scholars are only interested in "knowledge", and those materials that are extremely precious in the eyes of hunters are of little use to them.
Muscle tissue, internal organs, and bones that are almost useless to hunters are their main research objects. As for scales, carapace, claws, and dragon blood rich in special ingredients, only a small part is retained as specimens.
Most of the carefully dismantled or dissected materials will be handed over to the guild for unified settlement.
According to the chief researcher, under the careful handling of Longli Academy professionals, the acquisition rate of materials and their availability will be very high.
Even if there are multiple people participating in the distribution, the harvest eventually distributed to everyone will definitely be better than digging around with a knife.
No one will suffer.
After learning that the material would not be missing from him, Gordon immediately rushed to the master craftsman's workshop.
In the next two days, he harassed the chief craftsman and chief engineer at least four or five times.
Until the two old men who were annoyed by him kicked him out.
But Gordon is still very happy, because he got the answer he wanted - the idea of using the materials of the Sky Comet Dragon to comprehensively strengthen the "Dragon Heat Mechanism [Steel Wing] Modification" is theoretically feasible.
However, this method of combining biological tissue with steel machinery is extremely difficult to design and process.
The chief engineer and others don't have a particularly clear idea at the moment. They plan to find an opportunity to discuss with the master craftsmen and other big craftsmen to design a perfect plan.
For this reason, Gordon even came up with the idea of making a special trip to Dongdoruma to bring the master and craftsman over.
Just when this idea was about to turn into action, a messenger was sent from the East Doruma Guild headquarters.
The messenger is Elu wearing a guild knight-style suit, and it brings instructions, or invitations, from the guild.
Invite everyone from the Silver Edge Team, some members of the Dragon Sense Ship Investigation Team, including the captain of the investigation team, the hunters who participated in the battle on the deck, and Agaxi and others who have just recovered from their injuries, to go to East Doruma to receive the reward.
Gordon was a little worried at first, thinking that the guild was planning to hold a grand commendation ceremony or something. He was really not used to it and didn't like to participate in it.
Fortunately, the guild messenger dispelled his doubts.
“Many places were affected by this incident, and a large number of monsters that migrated away have not yet returned to their original territories. There are still many troublesome things that have not been resolved.
So it is a pity that there will be no luxurious celebration banquet or grand commendation meeting. "
】
"It would be better if I didn't..."
"There is no best..."
Gordon and Hayata cooed together.
The Knight of the Ellu Guild adjusted his wide-brimmed hat and continued: "The Great Elder specifically told me that this award will focus on practicality."
"Practical?" Gordon's eyes lit up. "How practical is it? Can you tell me more about it?"
Compared to those complicated rituals, he still prefers real things.
"Like a big bonus, meow?"
Anhir: "..."
Extremely boring.
Gordon and Hayata also seemed a little disappointed. Money was useful to them, but as high-level hunters, they were generally not short of money.
Only Feng Ying was excited for a moment.
She didn't have much savings to begin with, and after returning from hunting the Ceratopsian this time, she spent all her money on making the Ceratopsian shield and axe.
It's a pity that this award has nothing to do with her...
"There's something else, meow."
The Guild Knight Cat turned to Gordon and said, "Mr. Gordon, you have accumulated a sufficient number of six-star mission records, and this time you have completed the eight-star Sky Comet Dragon Crusade mission.
Therefore, you will be promoted to Seven-Star Hunter Meow. "
