When she saw this dragon scale, the names of six or seven dragon species flashed through Melina's mind in an instant.
From red dragon to black dragon to blue dragon...
Dragons are not classified by the color of their scales. Most of the dragons known for their dark blue scales are powerful red dragons.
"Not a red dragon."
Melina looked up at Bright Falls Town.
"It's probably not a black dragon. Black dragons don't choose crowded places, although they are also very powerful."
"Is it a blue dragon... a sea dragon?" There is indeed an individual among the sea dragons with scimitar-like scales.
This dragon, which is nearly 14 meters long, has a long body very similar to that of the Emperor Dragon. The shapes of their scales are diverse and change depending on where they live. Sea dragons with scimitar-shaped scales are often found in places close to volcanic warm currents. They will grind their scales in volcanic rocks in order to mine volcanic stone snails, an amphibious delicacy.
Ah, speaking of food.
Volcanic stone snails are the raw material for the most popular seasonings on this continent, and they are also delicious when baked whole. Just be careful when collecting thick high-temperature rocks...
Melina took a look at Toluca Lake, where Bright Falls Town is located. This is a typical inland lake with beautiful scenery. There are towering trees with red leaves on the lakeside. Waves of water blown by the gentle breeze roll up the red leaves. together, forming a spectacular scenery - is it possible? Hidden in this small lake is a giant beast at least 14 meters long?
Memories of those horror movies came flooding back.
In a calm inland town lake, a man from the Atlantic Ocean swam against the current into a tributary that merged into the sea. He went all the way north and entered the lake of a certain town with an unknown desire for revenge. middle. Three to five young people are about to hold a lakeside summer camp in this small town...except for the irrationality, it combines the popcorn factors of almost all cerebral palsy horror movies.
Melina knew that she had to go to the mayor of Liangpu Town to explain the situation.
If the sea dragon that Sonia is chasing breaks into this lake, it will cause huge casualties.
Fortunately, she accompanied Maria to take samples... Melina couldn't help but feel a little lucky that she arrived before the tragedy.
She found Maria near a bush.
Lao Ma was squatting on the ground, studying a ball of herbivorous dragon feces, and murmured to herself without disgust:
"The rhizomes of Thunder Grass and Delay Grass? Hmm, I suspect they were left by Triceratops... Is it because of the difference in living environment? Their sense of dominance over water sources seems to be gone?"
This is what Melina admires about Malia.
"Maria, let's go back, something happens."
"Huh? Do you have to go?" Maria had an unhappy and reluctant expression on her face.
Melina didn't say any riddles:
"I suspect that the very dangerous sea dragon slipped into the nearby lake area. Look, I found it on the shore..."
She shows the scales in her hands:
"Scales shaped like curved blades."
"Hmm... could it be a local dragon?" Maria thought for a moment, "Outside of the Weeping Peninsula, the mountain next to Innsmouth that separates it from the passage on Haven Road is a volcano that stretches into the ocean. The secrets of the operation of the earth's veins are hidden in an entire mountain range, and some scholars have come here specifically to collect data..."
"No matter what, whether it's local or from outside, it's very dangerous."
Melina put away her scales.
When it was taken out again, it was time to show it to Sonia and Georgia in the mayor's office.
The mayor’s lady stood on tiptoe with difficulty and observed with a magnifying glass:
"The magic factor is very fresh, as if it had just fallen off, but the skin tissue still attached to the scales shows that it has been shed for a long time... What do you think? Ms. Sonia."
Miss Georgia has completely succumbed to Sonia's money offensive and decided to serve as the other party's manor secretary, responsible for construction management.
The monthly salary is 300 gold lei, including food and accommodation, and you only have to work five days a week. You can come back to Liangpu Town at other times. The most important thing is - Sonia ensured that the first inland road she built was connected to Liangpu Town. The highway between Waterfall Town and Hamlet Town, and two pharmaceutical processing plants will be built nearby.
While she was packing her luggage, Melina arrived with the bad news.
Ms. Sonia is not good at biology, or there is nothing she is good at.
She pretended to glance at the scales, then looked at Maria and Melina.
Melina sighed:
"I think you should ask the residents of Liangpu Town to leave the lake quickly, and burn incense made of mugwort, bitter tea, and Calian tree whiskers on the shore near the water. The incense can protect your townspeople. .Miss Mayor, the God of Death has visited your town."
"I think so too!" Sonia nodded vigorously.
Melina controlled the corners of her mouth to rise, it was time to be serious at this time.
Miss Georgia had already taken out a pen and paper and recorded it with a serious face.
"Organize an exploration team to explore Toluca Lake. Place an order at the Explorers Guild and select the [Risk Check] option. Remember to fill in the explanation and write like this [Suspected to be a sea dragon, but do not rule out a higher risk] Level of risk], the Explorers Guild will naturally evaluate and send out an exploration team. If the situation is true, they will enjoy a 95% discount, and the discounts on subsequent crusade missions will also be very large, and you can also apply for subsidies before the crusade..."
Melina recalled some details.
Exploration missions have always been very cheap. In other words, the Explorers Guild is an organizational guild that provides services similar to public welfare. Ninety-nine percent of the funds within the guild are reasonably allocated to areas in urgent need. If a township like this encounters a very dangerous and powerful flying dragon, it will generally subsidize funds and coordinate with the local area so that the locals can settle elsewhere.
If the situation can be handled, the guild itself will issue paid commissions to hire explorers.
The guild's overall income is basically self-sufficient, and it has its own industry. It can be understood as an alliance of most wealthy companies. These companies have no purpose. At most, they sponsor the entire guild as if they are advertising. .
"...Finally, remember to hire someone with better writing skills and write more about the local difficulties. An exploration team will be here within two days."
Melina's experience all comes from teachers and classmates.
They have gossiped countless times about the inside information and intelligence of the guild, and how to get money from the food delivery service of the guild's subordinates.
Recalling the wise old professor with a white beard and a Greek beard, he once managed to get twenty bottles of spirits in one go under extremely dangerous circumstances (referring to debt). The price was almost 30% off, and the original price was quite expensive. Wine - but unfortunately, the old professor did not choose to buy and sell, but... when he reacted, he drank heavily! Five days of heavy drinking.
The master of teaching astrology taught Melina one of the most important skills.
Through prophecies, I went to a strange area and predicted which restaurant had the best takeout... These small life experiences can also come in handy now.
Melina also has a trick to prevent dragon troubles, which is to divert trouble to the east.
You only need to send people to cut down the forest in the middle of the medicine field leading to the lake to create a comfortable walkway for the dragons, and then you can guide the nearby bog dragons to drink water - the black dragon species and the blue dragon species are mortal enemies. Let's meet. There will be a fight. If this is really the Sea Eclipse Dragon making trouble nearby, then it would be a good thing to attract its attention to the Swamp Eclipse Dragon.
Teach a lot of tips and tricks.
Georgia's little notebook is already filled with Melina's [Cloud Expert Advice]. I don't know how useful it is, but it should be somewhat useful.
Senior Sister Suo, who was of no use, only took the opportunity to add when Melina finished speaking and started drinking tea to soothe her throat:
"Well, ah, that's how it should be done, that's what I mean too!"
Lao Ma rolled her eyes and almost woke up.
…
Because of this unexpected incident, Georgia will definitely not be able to leave.
She almost cried when she asked for leave as soon as she joined the job. However, Senior Sonia was so magnanimous that she didn't even say a word of yin and yang. Instead, she advanced a month's salary to the other party and asked her to use it to buy incense and so on.
This made Melina's Lucon radar beep.
"Do you like Miss Georgia very much?" Melina asked on the way back.
"Yeah!" Sonia nodded without hesitation, "She is also on my rescue list. Maybe what I like is not her as a person, but the feeling of acting as a god." She glanced at her hands, "Xiaomei..."
The senior sister's tone was a little melancholy.
Melina tilted her head: "Huh?"
"... Speaking of playing a god, how do you feel? How do you feel about having a powerful magic factor?"
There was probably a bit of jealousy and envy in her words.
But this is not incomprehensible.
With powerful magic factors, many steps can be saved.
For example, in addition to the transformation and replenishment by alchemists, the most important source of the weapon magic factors spent when using weapons is to be replenished by one's own magic factors.
If you regard it as a naturally renewable universal energy source, Melina is a Dyson sphere at least. The senior sister is at best an allied power station, and will issue a 'lowPower' warning within a few seconds. Generally speaking, a seeker, even a Banshee Seeker, cannot feed a handful of weapons.
And Melina's ten guns are more than enough to feed herself.
To a certain extent, she does play a god-like role.
"This world feels a little fragile." Melina joked, "Sometimes, I even feel that I can fly into the sky as soon as I exert my strength."
Sonia was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh and laughed:
"Drop it! Don't you have a sense of humor? Fly into the sky. Haha, this world has some strange laws. No matter how powerful the banshee is, it seems that she can't conquer the sky."
Really?
Melina felt the gravity around her and felt a little suspicious.
