After the two were embarrassed for a while, the village chief took the lead in breaking the deadlock, took out a familiar booklet from behind the bar, opened it and handed it to Ed. After confirming the contents, he picked up a quill and signed, then took out the parchment he had received from his pocket and handed the two things back to the village chief.

"Good work." After taking the manual and parchment roll, the village chief glanced at the three Wade sitting in the distance, and asked with a smile with narrowed eyes, "Is it your fellow caravan sitting over there?" ”

"Ah, two of them are from the caravan, and that little girl was met in the primeval forest." Ed whispered, he didn't look back, but kept staring at the old dragon man who kept looking through the ore.

The village chief calmly glanced at Xingchen who was sitting there, "Well, I've heard that the supply team's Beth rushed back, so ...... Is there anything special about it? ”

Ed shook his head, "Ah, no, no monster signs, no strange behavior, not dragonmen, most of them are children who got lost and walked into the hunting area." “

The village chief thought for a moment and whispered, "I received information that five days ago, a hunter team directly under the Great Elder Hall secretly went to the primeval forest and was attacked by an unknown monster, and all four members of the team were wiped out. ”

Ed was shocked, and looked at the village chief, "Where did the information come from?" ”

"Before the team set off, the headquarters sent a message to let us Jiangbo Village prepare supplies for the hunting mission of the four-person team, and also emphasized that a large amount of dyed jade should be prepared, but it was not said that it was the direct team of the Great Old Palace, it was secretly told to me by an old friend of mine at the headquarters."

The village chief paused slightly, lowered his voice and said, "On the day you set out, Patty also went to the virgin forest, and found the remnants of this group at a great distance from the hunting area, as well as a large number of battle traces and human bloodstains, and judged that they were all wiped out. ”

Ed's face was solemn, "What does the Great Old Hall want to do?" ”

The village chief shook his head, "I don't know, but it can be seen from the large amount of dyed jade that they seem to be chasing some kind of monster." Did you find anything in the hunting area? ”

Ed frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "We met Xia Long in the primeval forest, could it be the target of the Great Elder Palace?" ”

The village chief looked at Ed in shock, "You met the ancient dragon?" ”

Ed nodded, and told the village about what happened, naturally skipping the part of the mysterious crystal and the stars, the mysterious crystal that could make the ancient dragon fear, and the little girl Xingchen who was sealed in the mysterious crystal, as well as the three gems in her hand, these things he didn't want to let others know easily, and the secret had to be in his own hands to have the greatest value.

The village chief, who had been laughing, also changed his face, it was not a trivial matter for Gu Long to appear in the hunting area, he thought seriously for a while and said, "I will send a message to inform the Gu Long Observatory later, and I will tell her to be careful." ”

Ed suddenly smiled and said, "Ah, village chief, aren't you going to be busy when Patty isn't there these days?" ”

The village chief smiled bitterly, "Isn't it, I have to look at the bar counter, but it's torturous, and now there is a shortage of people in the village, and I haven't been able to recruit anyone." ”

Ed glanced at the menu hanging on the bar and laughed, "Ah, then I'll torture you one more time, get four servings of 'barbecue dragon belly' and four glasses of 'golden barley wine'." ”

The village chief glared at him angrily, "The kitchen is only a few steps away, can't you go and tell the cook yourself?" “

"Ah, aren't you part-time? Is it good to be dedicated? ”

"Alright, business is done, I'm going to get busy." The village chief clapped his hands, took out four beer glasses from the shelf, connected the cups under the faucet of the beer keg, and poured the beer into the glasses.

"The barley wine is ready." The village chief put the beer glass on the bar with a clatter, turned and walked back to the kitchen to inform the chef to prepare the meal.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to be quite skilled." Ed joked with a smile.

The village chief smiled, didn't say anything, went back to the back of the bar, put away the manual and parchment, and began to write a letter.

Ed was about to walk back with four beers in his hand, when Germain, the old dragon man who had been looking through the ore, suddenly rushed forward and grabbed him, and asked with a serious face, "Do you have something to hide from the old man?" ”

"What?" Ed was shocked, could it be that this old dragon man had discovered something?

The old dragon man Germaine had a serious face, lifted up two cloud bream stones, and stared at him deadly, "The old man found special crystal impurities on these two cloud bream stones, just now you and the old man heard the conversation between you and the head of Jiangbo Village, tell the old man where these two cloud bream stones came from." ”

When Ed saw the mysterious crystal fragments remaining on the corners of the two cloud bream stones, his heart was nervous, and he hurriedly adjusted his emotions and said calmly, "This is what I dug up in the hunting area, and I didn't find anything special." ”

The old dragon man Germain did not smile at the moment, he was extremely serious, he grabbed Ed, and the light that bloomed from his cloudy and yellowed eyes was as cold and piercing as ice, he observed Ed for ten minutes, and found that Ed's breathing was stable and stable, not lying, let go of his hand, took out a map and put it in front of Ed and asked, "Where is the hunting area, you show the old man." ”

Ed put on a nonchalant attitude and said, "The virgin forest is so big, and there are dense forests and mountains everywhere, I have long forgotten where I have walked. ”

"No, you have to remember!" The old dragon man Germain's face was a little terrifying, and his cloudy and yellow eyes were bloodshot, staring at Eddard stubbornly.

Ed deliberately avoided the old dragonman's gaze, pretending to be curious to look at the mysterious crystal fragments left on the cloud bream stone again and again, "Isn't this just an ordinary earth crystal?" I also have a piece here, is there anything wrong? ”

Seeing that the old dragon man was so urgent, maybe now was the best time to know the origin of the mysterious crystal, so he directly took out a piece of mysterious crystal and handed it over.

The old dragon man Germain's face was full of surprise, he glanced at Ed, snatched the mysterious crystal, looked at it over and over, and finally took out the observation glass, and looked at the crystal that Ed handed him and the crystals on the two cloud bream stones repeatedly.

After looking at it for ten minutes, he looked up sharply and said to himself, "It's really a crystallization of the earth, isn't right...... No, this piece is an ordinary earth crystal, and what remains on the cloud bream stone is a sealed dragon crystal, but why are the materials of the two ores the same? ”

Ed is also not bad, listening to the old dragon man talking about the sealing dragon crystal, his heart suddenly moved, sure enough, this mysterious crystal has a great origin, he hurriedly asked, "What is the sealing dragon crystal?" ”

The old dragon man Jermain suddenly glared at him with a terrible face, "This is not what you should ask, are you sure that these two ores were dug in the same place?" ”

Ed felt awe-inspiring in his heart, feeling that this old dragon man now had the urge to kill, he didn't want to hit the tip of the knife, so he nodded honestly.

After repeatedly asking for the detailed location to no avail, the old dragonman's face returned to normal, and he hurriedly grabbed the map and walked towards the village chief, it seemed that he wanted to venture into the primeval forest.

Although he didn't ask for the details of the mysterious crystal, he also knew that the name of the crystal was the Sealed Dragon Crystal, and seeing that the old dragon man was no longer entangled, Ed returned to his companion with a glass of satisfaction.

"Who's that old man?" Wade leaned over and asked.

Ed pushed the mask, took a sip of beer, and said slowly, "The Great Old Palace." ”

Dan on the side was surprised, "The Great Old Palace? From East Dolma? ”

"Well, it seems that I am here to chase Xia Long, but I don't know the details."

Dan asked suspiciously, "Isn't that the job of the Ancient Dragon Investigation Bureau to investigate the ancient dragon?" The Great Old Hall also came to join in the fun? ”

Ed shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows, anyway, our mission is done, and the rest is left to us, let's go together." With that, he raised his beer glass and looked at his companions.

"Cheers!"
