"Since the so-called 'King' is sleeping, it must not be an ordinary tower."
The professor thought, "Assuming that the 'king' is a taboo-level existence, there should be only three places that can be called 'towers' within the known world, where taboos may reside.
The ancient pyramids are submerged in the forest, the ancient towers deep in the sea of trees in the Hong Leong area, and the sky corridors on the isolated islands in the far sea. "
"It can't be the Sky Corridor." The great elder shook his head, ruling out one of the possibilities. "The Sky Corridor is too big and too high. Just the area that the investigation team barely confirmed has more than 500 floors. The overall height is It's even more than a thousand layers above.
There are countless monsters with extremely high dangerous levels living in them, and there are also 'fans' guarding them.
Even if the entire guild were to use the power of the whole guild, regardless of casualties, it would take at least several generations to clear out the monsters in the Sky Corridor.
If the 'tower' in Proverbs refers to the sky corridor, then this warning has no meaning, because it is an impossible task.
And it should come to me directly, not to a few young hunters. "
Listening to the exchange between the two old men, Gordon, who thought he knew a lot, couldn't help but open his mouth.
There are actually ruins with more than a thousand floors in this world? Even if each floor is only three meters, then the building height must not exceed three thousand meters? ? !
The professor continued: "The ancient pyramid of Shuiwulin is also unlikely. The ruins are large enough, and it is not surprising that an ancient dragon lives there, but the territory where the taboo level exists will not be easily changed.
Only last year did an archaeological team fully explore the ancient pyramid and found no particularly dangerous monsters. The Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau also found no unusual movements in the Shuiwu Forest area. "
"From this point of view, the ancient pagoda deep in the mysterious sea of trees in Honglong should be the only 'tower' that meets the conditions." The great elder said slowly: "Our understanding of the sea of trees and the remains of that ancient pagoda The knowledge is too vague.
To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is sleeping there. Maybe it’s time to send a team over to investigate..."
"You can't go in!"
"Guard! Stop it!"
There were sudden commotions outside the hall door. The great elder ignored these commotions and frowned in thought.
The Silverborder Hunting Group was excellent enough, but this matter might involve taboos. He was a little worried about placing the entire burden on a few young people.
It would be best to arrange an eight-star or even nine-star hunter leader to replace the five-star girl.
The commotion outside the hall became more and more intense, and there were even sounds of fighting. The great elder's thoughts were interrupted.
The grumpy old man raised his head with displeasure on his face and slapped the huge sword as thick and long as a doorpost in his hand. The dull sound of thunder was accompanied by a deafening shout that resounded throughout the Great Hall.
"who!"
There was a lull in the movement outside the door, and the intruder seemed to have been caught, but its sharp voice still penetrated through the thick wooden door, "Save Meow! See the Great Elder! Please... Meow!"
A guild staff member hurriedly walked in, bowed nervously to the Grand Elder, and quickly reported: "A Meralu tried to break into the Grand Elder's Hall, but was stopped by the guild knight."
"Melaru?"
Under the Great Elder's dissatisfied glare, the staff member trembled a little. He hesitated for half a second and continued to explain: "It should be a hunting partner of a certain hunter. Its owner seems to be in danger, so it wants to ask you for help directly. .”
This happens occasionally.
Under normal circumstances, it should go to the counter of the gathering place to announce an emergency rescue mission, but it often takes some time to find a hunter willing to take on the rescue mission.
Some people are too anxious to wait, so they will try to find the guild director or even the great elder. If they agree to directly assign a high-level hunter to rescue, the efficiency will be much higher.
But high-level hunters are not firefighters after all. If they do this again and again, high-level hunters don't have to do anything else.
Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the great elders rarely agree to directly send high-ranking hunters to carry out rescue operations. Regardless of whether they agree or not, the act of forcing their way into the Great Old Hall will always be punished afterwards.
The great elder whose thoughts were interrupted was obviously not in a good mood, but thinking that a hunter was in danger, he softened his heart and said, "Let him come in and explain the situation."
Soon, a guild knight with fine scratches on his face came in carrying a disgraced Meralu.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Meralu was obviously a little scared, but thinking of its master's situation at this time, it mustered up the courage with its trembling beard, "We, our master has taken the task of hunting velociraptors, meow, in the lush sea of trees. Meow, it’s also a mission to advance to five stars, meow!
We severely injured that Velociraptor cat, and then chased it into a huge ruins deep in the sea of trees. As a result, a strange booming dragon rushed out and killed the Velociraptor cat with one bite!
That red booming dragon is so powerful, its roar is so loud, like a big barrel of explosive bombs! It's really going to explode!
We can't defeat him at all. The master is blocked in the ruins. He stopped Honglong to create a chance for us to run out and ask for help, meow."
Gordon and others looked strange, as did the great elder and professor.
A girl in ancient clothes, a motto that mentions 'noisy', the ruins of an ancient pagoda, a strange roaring dragon with a particularly loud roar, a hunter in distress, and Melalu's request for help
It was all too coincidental, as if someone had carefully arranged all the links and put the time points together precisely.
Just to let the guild send high-level hunters to the ancient tower.
"You just said that the red booming dragon has a particularly loud roar?" Ancier confirmed to Melalu, "This is the first time I've heard of the red booming dragon."
"Yes, yes! We were the cats who went to the counter to announce the rescue mission first. They all said they had never heard of the red boomerosaurus, saying that it might be an unprecedented subspecies or a rare species of cat.
So the difficulty of the task is set very high, seven, seven-star difficulty, no one can help! We just came here because we had no other choice, meow." Melalu said feeling aggrieved.
This situation is understandable.
If a fellow hunter is in danger, most hunters are still willing to help if they can, but if the danger is far beyond their own strength, then they can only say sorry.
"How long ago did you encounter that red booming dragon?" Gordon suddenly asked Melalu.
"Three, late at night three days ago?" Melalue somewhat misunderstood what Gordon meant, and took the initiative to explain: "The Hong Leong area is separated from the old continent by the sea, so our master rented an airship to go there. , we also came here in that empty boat, meow!
It won’t be long, there must be some rescue! "
Gordon looked up at the great elder, "The mysterious girl also came to us late at night three days ago, almost at the same time."
"Do you think these two things are directly related?"
"I think so." Gordon looked at the great elder, nodded and said: "There are so many coincidences that it's not normal. It would be more reasonable to say it was arranged.
On the one hand, it induces hunters to encounter the Red Boom Dragon and forces them to ask for help. On the other hand, it gives us a warning and allows us to deal with the noisy monsters. It belongs to the two directions.
Although there are still many things that are not logically logical, she...it probably had no intention of arranging things to be so reasonable and perfect. It was enough to trick us into solving the problem. "
Hayata raised his hand and said: "My view is a little different, maybe this is not a 'two-way rush', but a 'double insurance'.
He warned us in the form of a girl in ancient costumes, and induced Melalu to send news of the existence of the Red Boom Dragon, all in order to get the guild to send forces to hunt the Red Boom Dragon.
As long as one line is successful, the goal is achieved. "
"But why bother?" Feng Ying, who was a little dizzy after hearing this, looked confused, "Don't those 'people' sometimes go to the assembly hall to issue tasks? Wouldn't it be better to just issue the task of hunting the Red Boom Dragon? ?”
"It makes sense." Anhil nodded, and then asked the great elder, "So, is there such a mission?"
The great elder was stunned for a moment, then called a female dragon scribe, "Go and check to see if there are any strange mission documents, especially the person who issued the mission, a girl in ancient costumes, etc."
The Dragon Clan clerk nodded and left quickly.
Everyone comforted the impatient Melalu, and after waiting for less than half an hour, the clerk came back with two receipts with a weird expression, and the guild director with the same weird expression came with him.
