The group of people went to the public tavern.
It's not that they go to drink, they don't have the leisure or mood to drink now, but the studio where the master and craftsman spends most time is under the tavern.
No matter what the atmosphere is outside, the inside of the tavern is always lively. Most of the hunters are optimistic and will not frown because of a mysterious monster that has not yet appeared.
When Gordon and the others came in, many people raised their glasses to greet them. Some of them actually called Ancil "rich", which made the latter's face turn particularly dark.
He plans to take revenge.
After I had some time to spare, I asked someone to give Gale a nickname. What should I call him, poor guy? Cat head? Nirma's?
No one knew Ancil's dark thoughts. Gordon was familiar with the road and quickly brought everyone to the master's studio.
After knocking on the door and hearing the response from inside, Gordon smiled and pushed open the door, "Master, I'm here to see you!"
"Teacher meow!"
"As expected, it's you." The craftsman who was revising a certain drawing looked up.
Several other people said hello one after another, and the master also said "welcome" with a smile.
He habitually wanted to hand over something, but suddenly found that he had not prepared any souvenirs. Gordon scratched his neck awkwardly, "I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything."
The master waved his hand, "That means you are always so polite, ahem. Julius will never consider this. Let's find a place to sit by ourselves.
You are here to inquire about the recent situation, right? Is everything going well in Yanhuo Village? "
As a high-ranking member of the guild, Shixiang was present when the Great Elder ordered Yinbeian to be summoned urgently to rush back to East Doruma.
Gordon and the others briefly talked about Yanhuo Village. The master was silent for a moment and sighed.
"It's been such an eventful time, ahem, everything is really crowded together."
Gordon's expression also became serious, "It seems that as I guessed, Dongdoruma is so nervous not just because of the attack and destruction of the small fortress."
"Yes." Master Jiang nodded, pulled up a chair and sat down, "Ahem. In fact, it can be said that the tense atmosphere in Dongdoruma has nothing to do with the fortress."
The people in front of him were all high-ranking hunters, and the master didn't mean to hide anything. After taking a breath, he continued: "Let me start from the beginning.
You should also feel that due to unknown reasons, ancient dragon-related incidents have occurred frequently in recent years. The Great Elder Ke Ke ordered guilds in various places to strengthen and repair city defenses and fortresses, store supplies, and prepare for possible dangers in the future.
East Doruma is naturally no exception. The guild took the lead in organizing, and the royal family, nobles and businessmen funded the comprehensive renovation of East Doruma Battle Street. Ahem cough cough
This project started a year or two ago, and now the city walls are almost complete, and the final steps of replacing and installing defensive weapons are being carried out.
The replaced and disassembled weapons, including the first-generation dragon gun, were sent to the destroyed small fortress for storage, waiting for subsequent arrangements. "
Hayata stood up and poured a glass of warm water for Shixiang.
The master took a sip and continued: "Julius and the others have been busy in this area recently, ahem, collecting some special materials, and cleaning up transportation lines."
Gordon was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Compared to his senior brother Julius who often helped his master with things, his second disciple was really a bit "out of touch" and ran around everywhere.
Fortunately, the master did not mean to sarcastically mention Julius because of another matter.
"In the process, they found some, cough cough cough... found some traces of the Madosaurus virus."
"What?!" Hayata had the biggest reaction among the crowd.
During the time she was traveling with the brigade, she had almost been fighting against various monsters infected with the Mad Dragon Virus, so she naturally knew how dangerous those things were.
"But, hasn't the Celestial Dragon been solved?" Hayata pointed at Ansir, or to be precise, he pointed at the Celestial Dragon armor on Ansir.
At that time, in order to prevent the Celestial Dragon from resurrecting again, they used all their strength to completely burn the corpse to ashes.
"Professors from the Mad Dragon Disease Research Institute believe that there are two possibilities. One is that there are other black eclipse dragons and even celestial dragons in the world.
The second is that the death of the original body does not mean that the virus spores will also die, and infected monsters will still infect each other. "
Hayata fell silent.
"Don't worry." Master Jiang comforted her, "The guild has also arranged for hunters to follow up on this matter. Ahem. The reappearance of the Mad Dragon Virus can at best be considered a small part of the recent troubles."
Hayata: "."
You are such a comforter.
"The Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau sent an alert two days ago. They observed that a steel dragon operating in the Frasia area has entered the 'molting period', which is the so-called rusty steel dragon.
The Steel Dragon in this period has a very violent personality and will actively attack large cities.
Some scholars have put forward a view that the rusty steel dragon attacks the city not for reasons such as prey, but to deliberately cause fights and assist it in molting. "
"It's like, some types of snakes will find rough and sharp stones to rub their bodies when shedding their skin?" Anhil asked.
"similar."
Master Jiang nodded, "There are many people who support this view. If you think about it from this perspective, cough cough cough
The city it is most likely to attack is East Doruma, which is not too far from the Frasia region and has a battle street.
After all, that guy was here ten years ago. "
Hearing the last half of the sentence, Gordon was startled and looked up at Master, "Is it 'that' steel dragon?!"
"It should be it." Master Jiang didn't show anything strange.
But Gordon knew that the steel dragon was the culprit that caused the master to be seriously injured and retired, and it was also the "knot" of Julius.
That guy Julius probably doesn't know this news yet, otherwise he would definitely rush back to East Doruma as soon as possible, sharpening his sword and preparing for war.
"Wait a minute." Ancil suddenly spoke up and raised a possibility, "You just said that the Steel Dragon might attack, so is it possible that the one who attacked the fortress was the Steel Dragon?"
The person who answered this question was Kurt Aziz, "We also guessed this at first, but after investigation, it felt that it shouldn't be the case.
The Steel Dragon is an ancient dragon that appears frequently, and the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau has conducted relatively thorough research on its ecology.
Although they are called 'steel dragons', they do not have the habit of eating steel. If the attacker is a steel dragon, the disappearance of steel weapons, dragon guns and other steel creations cannot be explained. "
Gordon rubbed his forehead, "So there are three problems that the headquarters needs to face, the dragon disease of unknown origin, the steel dragon that may attack at any time, and the mysterious monster that attacks the fortress with an unknown identity and is suspected to be a mantis?"
The master sighed, "It's four, and there is another biggest trouble that you ignored. Ahem, I just mentioned that the battle street facilities in East Doruma are being replaced and upgraded.
The new dragon-killing gun that has been installed is still in the running-in and debugging stage, and the final weapon against ancient dragons, the 'Dragon-killing Cannon', has not yet been completely completed.
Cough cough cough. At this moment, Dongdoruma cannot be said to be completely undefended, but it is also in a state of lack of defense. "
The hunters looked at each other. No wonder the air pressure around the elder was so low when they met before.
It turns out that the stress is all in his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
"Is there anything we can do to help with the preparation of the defense line?" Hayata asked worriedly.
The master smiled at her and said, "Ahem. No need. The guild is working hard to mobilize more power. You just need to do what you are doing right now, which is to find out the identity of the monster that attacked the fortress."
Ps.
The plot of 4g has been reorganized and combined (adaptation is inevitable). It can be understood that the original plot is happening, but the protagonist and others are not following the original plot and are working hard in other directions.
Of course, there may be some overlap.
This is a large comprehensive incident, and it is impossible to rely on one person or a few people to solve all the problems.
Both Bi Zi and the others, as well as the protagonists of this book, are just a part of a big event.
