"Well, guys, all in all, let's get started, search the meeting."

Yu Tatsumi sat up straight as he spoke, of course, he couldn't be too lazy on such a serious occasion.

Lloyd and Ellie sat upright, Theo looked serious, and Randy didn't continue to laze.

"So, is it really better to discuss the four aspects of 'prisoner', 'purpose', 'means' and 'result' first?"

Lloyd asked with some incomprehension.

There is so little information available that even reasoning does not lead to any valuable conclusions. Moreover, even if you know the "criminal", "purpose" or "result", it is useless, and the most important thing in this case is not these, but how to stop the griffon's "means".

Therefore, Lloyd did not want to waste time reasoning at this time.

Still, Lloyd chose to trust his partner. Not the kind of "he's my companion, trust him completely, of course!" "I know that Yuu Tatsumi is a person with outstanding abilities, and since he dares to make such a request, he must have a reason."

"Pretty much, it's easier to understand with that theory. So, Ellie, can I give you the record? ”

"Huh? Well, no problem. ”

Ellie reacted immediately and pulled herself together. With a lack of sleep and worry about Crossbell, Ellie also found that her attention was too much to concentrate.

"The prisoner's words are meaningless, it's that monster."

As soon as You finished speaking, he saw Noelle raise his hand as if he was a student listening to a lecture, and he felt a burst of amusement in his heart, of course, it was impossible to really laugh. Yu Tatsumi kept a calm expression and asked, "Sergeant Noelle, do you have any questions?" ”

"Can you elaborate more on that monster?"

Hearing Noelle say this, Lloyd remembered that he knew very little about that monster. After all, Lloyd had been busy in the central square last night, and his knowledge of the monster was only "very large".

However, when it comes to the person who knows the griffin monster best, isn't it right next to him? Before the guerrillas and Dudley investigators arrived, wasn't the one who single-handedly dragged the griffon monster around?

"If it's the griffon-like monster, I know a little bit. After all, it's head-to-head. ”

Then, under Noelle's curious and reverent gaze, You began to tell his analysis.

"First of all, in terms of appearance.

If you have to describe it, this is what it feels like to combine the back half of a lion with the front half of an eagle and then extend its wings from its shoulders.

When lying on the stomach, the height is about 20 sub-distances, and the neck should be stretched to 244 sub-distances, and the body width is about 8 sub-distances. The wings are very long, at least as long as thirty sub-distances.

In short, a behemoth.

I don't need to talk about weight, strength, or anything, but you can understand the miserable appearance of the old town. Very flexible, beak, claws, tail are very flexible. The body is very strong, and the fur is also very strong, I'm afraid, the regular power weapon will not be too effective, if you want to fight, I still recommend gunpowder weapons. The on-board turret of an armored car can be replaced, right?

By the way, it seems to be very hungry and has been staring at houses and conductive products.

It shouldn't have come to the old city naturally, it should have used unconventional means, such as summoning or something.

["Summon, summon?! Noelle subconsciously let out a puzzled voice, too, she had never heard of such a thing as a monster that could be summoned. 】

Ah, I'm just saying it casually. Don't worry too much about these details. Because it's hard to imagine that the people of the Karuman Consortium would see such a large demonic beast - of course, it could have flown from a high altitude, or it was simply directed and acted by the Karuman Consortium or something.

And then, and then there is nothing to introduce. That's all I know.

If there is any more detail, it is that it is injured.

Both forelimbs were hit to varying degrees, and Dudley Investigator and the Wind Blademaster teamed up to inflict heavy damage on it. Then it flapped its wings and fled.

The night was so dark that I couldn't really tell where I went. ”

Yu Tatsumi said the above large series of words in an easy-going tone.

Theo frowned and muttered, "It's big." ”

Noelle's expression was gloomy, judging from the damage in the old town, she had already guessed that the monster this time was definitely a super huge guy. In the face of this kind of guy, even the new armored vehicles equipped with the garrison will not be able to do anything, right?

There are no vehicles (although it is a bit late now, in the world view of the trajectory, the tank = tank. When you see a combat vehicle, you can make up the image of a tank) firepower, and there is no airship mobility. If it weren't for Crossbell's "barriers", the garrison would not have wanted to use armored vehicles as the main force.

No, no, no! Noelle Shika, how can you protect others when you are discouraged yourself! Noelle cheered himself up in his heart, and his expression turned to resoluteness.

All this is seen by You: what a strong woman. After self-explanation, my mood actually recovered.

"So, the prisoner is determined, what about the ends and means?"

Lloyd didn't ask about the results, and it was obvious that the damage to the Old Town was the case.

You smiled and continued, "The means are the griffin's physical ability, and the purpose should be to forage for food. That's about it. ”

Ellie wrote this down in the police notes, and after reading it carefully, she still didn't understand what the obvious things were for: who summoned the monsters? Why did he do it? If no one summons them, why do monsters suddenly appear? Is it the "propaganda" of the Karuman consortium? Or is it some other group of sabotage? The texts are too closely connected to each other to see through intelligence beyond what is superficial.

"That...... You Jun, knowing this, is it any use? ”

"It's completely useless."

Yu Tatsumi said with a bad heart.

However, Noelle did not shoot the case as he expected, but waited for his next step seriously, shrugged his shoulders a little disappointed, and explained: "The events in the Old Town have happened, and 'why happened' has lost its meaning for the time being. Now all we have to do is find out where the griffin is, and then kill him. As for who summoned it, what purpose it was, what impact it would cause, and how the undercurrent would surge, we didn't even have time to meddle right now, did we? ”

Ellie was dumbfounded. He said it irresponsibly, but he was right. The Support Division is one such weak department. What will happen to Erebonia, what will happen to Calvard, what will happen to Cross Bell, a police officer is powerless.

Noelle also has to admit that this kind of straightforward thinking mode is very efficient, and it will make people feel very cold and impersonal when they say it, but the efficiency is excellent.

Lloyd was thoughtful, and his mind was now full of "what would he do if he were a big brother". There is no doubt that if it was Guy Bannings, he would not have waited here at this time, and I am afraid that he would have rushed somewhere to collect information.

"Aha, that's easy, so why are we staying here? Could it be that the griffons will deliver it to the door themselves? Randy joked and sat in a comfortable position, and I have to say that Waji has good taste and the sofa is very comfortable.

As if poked by Randy's words, Yu Tatsumi showed a subtle smile, feeling happy, and feeling a little helpless?

"Well, almost, the griffin won't deliver it to the door by itself, so let's analyze it. Lloyd. ”

"Ah, what?"

"What would you do if you were very hungry right now?"

"Uh...... Eating? ”

"So, what would you do if you went to the bakery now and found it closed?"

"This ...... Another? ”

“bingo！”

The two of them asked and answered, which confused everyone. Even Lloyd himself had an inexplicable expression on his face.

This time, everyone's expressions were exactly in line with Yu's expectations, which made him feel a little happier.

"Judging by the griffon's performance yesterday, there is no doubt that it has come to feed. The best proof of this is that after I gathered the Seven Jewels on myself, it stupidly began to hunt me. It doesn't matter who it is or what method it uses to summon the griffon. Our goal now is to figure out where it is. ”

Noelle nodded, she still agreed with Yu-Tatsumi's judgment. Psychologically, Noelle is a typical military man, and for a soldier, the simpler and clearer the goal, the better.

"Now, then, let's assume that the previous reasoning is correct, what is the first thing to do about the griffons that have been battered in the old town in their foraging?"

Lloyd put his hands on his cheeks and replied somewhat uncertainly: "Recuperate and ...... Foraging? ”

"yes, isn't that pretty impressive. Think about it, where should a magical beast like an eagle choose to forage for food? ”

"A place with a great view? For example, mountains, plains, or something? In Crossbell, near the Mainz Mountains, right? ”

This time it was Ellie who answered.

"Yes, not entirely. If the griffons hadn't been hurt, they would have chosen this place. You smiled and vetoed Ellie's answer.

"If you're hunting in the open terrain, you're going to have to travel a long way. The more open the terrain, the more scattered the distribution of demonic beasts becomes, and the wound cut by the Wind Sword Master will definitely shed a lot of blood. Randy added helpfully. As a former member of the Garrison, Randy is second only to Yu Tatsumi in terms of experience in hunting monsters.

"That's right, but that's not the main reason."

"That'...... Now that it is seriously injured, it will definitely choose terrain where it is easy to hide itself for hunting. For this flying beast, the terrain doesn't have much of an impact, and besides, the griffon's size is too large, and there are too few places to hide. Therefore, it will abandon hiding and give preference to terrain that is not easily searchable by humans. Like, Knox Forest or something? ”

It was Lloyd who came up with this analysis. was induced by You, and Lloyd gradually had ideas.

Lloyd was even more convinced that Yu-Tatsumi was guiding him, consciously or unconsciously. This was the case from the first time they met, always inducing Lloyd to think, to blur his own role as much as possible.

I'm afraid it's because he's worried about "grabbing credit", right?

Hero worship is human nature, and if Yuki Tatsumi always shows superhuman intelligence, then the support department will soon realize that as long as you quietly listen to Yuu Tatsumi's course of action, and then take action, and then form a team centered on Yuu Tatsumi. I'm afraid he's worried about that.

In this way, You has always asked Lloyd to give orders, intentionally or unintentionally, and this morning he also asked Lloyd to make a summary. Really, always showing a straightforward heart in such small aspects. Maybe You is actually a shy person?

"Hmm...... 30 points. The conclusion is correct. ”

"Huh?"

His rather confident reasoning was actually given such a low score, and Lloyd was a little surprised.

"Well, I'll announce the answer. First of all, Teo, was he just querying the database, right? How's that, have you found a similar Warcraft? ”

Theo, who was named, showed a rare cute expression: "Hey", a little flustered.

Her breastplate is equipped with a force terminal called the Eternal System, which can increase the speed of Theo's own calculations if necessary through a cat-ear-shaped sensor on her head. Since the name is "Guiding Terminal", of course, you can visit the Guiding Network and find the information you need through the Guiding Network.

Something similar had happened before, with Theo using the Eternal System to find information anytime, anywhere.

She was indeed searching for information about the griffin just now, such as whether there was a similar monster or something. As long as you can find the right amount of information, you should be able to infer the weakness, and if you can't, you should be able to infer the habitat. I didn't expect to be told by Yu Tatsumi as if he was peeping at his heart.

"Well, there is no similar information about Warcraft in the information that can be found. It should be a demonic beast that has been extinct a long time ago. ”

Although Theo had done such a powerful thing, the others did not appear to be overly surprised.

Because everyone doesn't know much about guiding technology.

Everyone's understanding of the conduction technology is "Wow, it's amazing!" With such a powerful and amazing thing, it shouldn't be too difficult to find information anytime and anywhere, right?

That's the kind of thinking. However, everyone's calm made Theo feel at ease. She was originally worried about whether she would be isolated by everyone or something, but it seemed that she was too worried.

"That's right. The demonic beast that has been extinct for a long time, why is it extinct? Is its force weak? Apparently not. It must be because the brain is too simple. No matter how powerful a lion is, it can't beat the wolves, that's what it means. If it were that kind of high-intelligence monster, it wouldn't stop in the old city at all, and it wouldn't be attracted by me. It should appear in the Knox Forest, the reason is that the wind attribute and water attribute Yao Vein there are relatively active, the wind attribute is the attribute that the flying monster likes, and the water attribute can stimulate the self-healing power of the monster's body to improve. ”

"Poof...... I'm going to go like that, it's as simple as that?! Randy had an incredulous look on his face: Who could have imagined this!

"Don't think of the monsters too wisely, if they were so smart, they would have enslaved humans by now. So, Sergeant Noelle, is there in the search range of the garrison? ”

"Well, definitely. The search area is the entire territory of Crossbell. ”

"Well, I'll be in touch soon. Discover Warcraft or something. ”

Lobbying, shrugging, sinking into the couch with a relaxed look.

Noelle was just about to say something, when suddenly the Anigema on his waist made a communication sound, and Noelle made an apologetic expression to everyone and picked it up.

"Hey, this is Noelle Shika...... What the!! ”
