The content of the report from the Jicheng Guild was very clear. Even if there were still many doubts, the guild executives and the hunters in Silverside had to focus most of their attention on Ge Mantis.
"Great Elder."
After listening to the report, Gordon hesitated for a moment. He took a few steps forward and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the great elder who raised his hand.
"I know what you are worried about. I have read several reports many times. The traces of Ge Mantis found in Jicheng can only prove that the destruction of Geolis Village is related to Ge Mantis.
The situation here at the East Doruma Arsenal is different. I am actually leaning towards the possibility of a "flying super giant monster" that you proposed.
The worst-case scenario is that both exist, or even achieve some kind of cooperation or symbiotic relationship.
However, things can only be done step by step.
At the moment, the Mantis that appears in the Georis Village is the only confirmable clue, so what I give you is still not a subjugation order, but an investigation order.
Use this as a breakthrough point to continue the investigation. "
After understanding what the great elder meant, Gordon bowed and stepped back.
Thinking about it, the Great Elder has lived for hundreds of years. Whether it is front-line combat or dealing with crisis events, he has far more experience than himself and others.
There is no reason why the great elder cannot be aware of the doubtful points that he can notice.
"Great Elder, there is one thing I want to confirm." As soon as Gordon retreated, Ancier stepped forward, "If our investigation confirms, Pavilion Mantis is indeed the culprit, or one of the culprits, in the destruction of the fortress. .
Do we have the power to decide independently according to the situation? "
The great elder's long eyebrows twitched and he stared at Ansir, waiting for his further explanation.
The pressure of this sight was extraordinary. Ancier took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "As a creature whose strength is comparable to that of the ancient dragon species, the Pavilion Mantis has a very special place.
Fighting in its own body, its strength is almost at the same level as Qilin, but when it controls the Xu city with silk threads, it will be more difficult than super giant ancient dragons such as Laoshanlong.
So I think timing is crucial. If it's not near its lair and can't summon the city, that will be the best opportunity to attack it.
If Ge Mantis's "crime" is confirmed, when it's time to take action, he should take action immediately. "
The great elder pondered for a moment, then slashed the old sword, "That's it."
Anhir breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to his companions.
The Great Elder glanced at them and continued: "You must also know the situation that Dongdoruma is currently facing. If you really decide to attack Ge Mantis, I will not be able to arrange more support for you.
So, be careful before making any decision. "
"Understood." Anhir nodded and responded seriously.
The conversation was over and the hunters were about to leave when Gordon suddenly turned around again, "By the way, Great Elder, can we find some support ourselves?"
"Find your own support?" The great elder frowned, "What are you going to do? Guilds everywhere are currently under martial law, and it will be difficult for the high-ranking hunters you know to come over to help you."
"Not a hunter." Gordon said with a smile: "I just think that the scholars of Longli Academy will be interested in investigating mysterious monsters whose identities are unknown, as well as investigating the mantis in the pavilion.
Maybe the Dragon Sense Ship can be tricked and borrowed. Anyway, that flying ship won't play any role in defensive operations. It's better to bring it in to assist in the investigation, as it is a professional counterpart. "
...
Incidents have occurred frequently in recent days, and the Great Elder ordered various guilds to impose martial law.
Although there is a high probability that nothing will happen due to the high mountains and ridges in Bernard Village, Longliyuan also received strict orders from the Great Elder.
——There are enough troubles now. Don’t cause trouble for me. Also, please lend more of the Ryūliyuan hunters.
As a result, many research activities were suspended.
Scholars from Ryukyu Academy say "I'm very curious!" all day long, but they can only squat in the village of Bernard to do indoor research, which makes them scratch their heads.
liver.
Therefore, Gordon is 120% sure about the secondment of Long Shichuan.
There was no need to write letters to communicate or anything like that. It was a waste of time. After asking the great elder for a special permission, the three of them, including Kurt Az, boarded the airship heading for Bernard Village.
As they expected, the application to assist in the investigation was approved almost immediately.
Longliyuan quickly mobilized, arranged personnel, supplied materials, inspected weapons and facilities... all preparations before the Longshi ship set sail were carried out quickly and methodically.
However, the Longshi Ship is not an ordinary small airship after all. After it is completely berthed, it will take about a day to prepare, no matter how fast it is.
Gordon and the others took a short rest in the village of Bernard.
There is good news, the weapons and armor they customized from the Longliyuan master craftsman have been completed.
If the big craftsman hadn't sent someone to call them to pick up the goods, they would have almost forgotten about this...
The Dragon Sense ship would not set sail until tomorrow, and since they had nothing to do at the moment, Gordon, Hayata, and Ancil ran to the great craftsman's workshop together.
Kurt Aziz did not come. After all, it had nothing to do with him. It was better to stay on the Dragon Sense ship and exchange information with the investigation captain and the others.
The big craftsman's eyes were blue, and his beard, which was always meticulously groomed, looked a little disheveled.
Two sets of high-level armor sets, a brand new weapon, all made of new materials with extraordinary performance, plus other work of the Ryūli Academy.
I have been working overtime quite frequently this month.
However, when seeing Gordon and the others, the old craftsman was still very excited.
For a master craftsman of his level, there is nothing more exciting than creating a piece of unprecedented equipment.
If so, then make two pieces, of course it can be three pieces...
My liver just hurts a little.
"I really didn't expect that the armors made of these two fire dragons would have such high-quality "souls"! "The great craftsman said excitedly. (Actually, this is the term for the suit effect in the x series)
"Soul? Ah..." Gordon was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You are referring to the kind of protective influence that seems to be the residual will of a monster, right?"
"That's right! First of all, this set of Black Flame King armor of yours possesses the soul of the Black Flame King, which can greatly increase the user's power (attack power up [large]).
When the body is seriously injured, this unyielding will will increase explosively, further increasing the user's power (fire field power) to an astonishing extent.
Although it is not recommended to actively activate this protection...
In addition, I have continued the consistent advantages of the Fire Dragon series of armors, and relied on the superiority of the materials to further highlight these advantages to the maximum.
Needless to say about the defensive performance, the Black Flame King is hunted by you, and you all know how strong its scaly carapace is.
The focus is on design!
The shape of each piece of armor and the position of each thorn have been repeatedly adjusted to maximize the airflow and weaken the impact of wind pressure (wind pressure resistance [large]).
The structure of the helmet is also very special, and can help you resist the roaring influence of almost any kind of monster (ear plugs [large]). "
The great craftsman was so speechless that Gordon, who tried on the Black Flame King's armor, was also amazed.
This set of armor is simply the ultimate in offensive capabilities.
Wind pressure tolerance? That's so you can attack when the monster flaps its wings.
Hearing protection? That's so you can attack when the monster roars loudly.
Strange fire power? That is so that you can continue to attack even if you are seriously injured.
It's all about offense!
"What an amazing piece of equipment." Gordon kept praising it in front of the great craftsman.
But what I was thinking was: I really should continue to use [He Yao], go back and press the bottom of the box to lock it...
