Joseph trembled and took the card from Ian's hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 He didn't know what it was, he just felt the cold touch spread from the palm of his hand to all parts of his body, and the thorn flower carved on the waist card was the same as the one on his tablecloth, only this one was more delicate and perfect. This is a symbol that belongs to the senior hunter of the hall, and this is the identity card of the senior hunter of the hall.

"Questions?" asked Ian.

Joseph shook his head: "No, it's just that I've seen a hunter's waist card for a long, long, long time, a long time, let alone a high-level hunter, can you take the liberty of asking, what kind of material is this made of?"

Joseph vaguely remembered that the waist card of the junior hunter in the hall was of Nanmu, and was featureless except for the rough thorn flower. Intermediate hunters may have a precious metal medal, and the thorn flower will be carved in more detail, and the hunter's name will be engraved on the reverse side so that others cannot imitate it. And the waist card of the senior hunter, he has only heard of it, is made of the trophies of the senior hunter, and the carved thorn flower will become more and more perfect, and the name of the hunter will be engraved on the back, but there will also be an affirmation of the hunter.

What are the trophies of a high-level hunter, you ask?

Dragon scales, keels are the most common. Obviously, this piece in Joseph's hand is a keel, but he doesn't know that this is not an ordinary keel.

This is the skull of the dragon king Naga, the absolute essence tempered in the flames.

But Joseph didn't know, and Ian didn't intend to explain, leaving it to Joseph to guess himself. Joseph looked at the waist card in his hand, took a deep breath, turned the waist card over, and looked at its back, only to see that there were only seven small characters on the back.

There are not many words, but it makes people's blood boil when they read.

"Supreme glory, Ian. ”

Joseph was shocked again at what kind of hunter could deserve the simple line of "supreme glory". He even began to suspect that the card was a counterfeit, because the holder was too young.

He had never heard of a high-ranking hunter under the age of thirty in the hall, and the young man in front of him was not yet twenty years old.

"Sorry, I want to verify. Joseph and Ian said.

Ian nodded, indicating that he didn't care, in fact he was curious about what the waist card was for. Before he left Alder, Arnold, the lord of the city, personally handed him the tablet, which was taken from the skull of the dragon king Naga. Under the power of the Dragon Slayer Source, the dragon king Naga's dragon bones were almost devoured, and only a few places remained intact, including its dragon head.

The dragon's head was too big for Nicole to bring back, so she could only use Dennis's sword to cut off a small piece and bring it back as evidence of the dragonlord Naga's demise. The rest of the body was completely buried in the eruption. So, in a sense, the waist card that Joseph is holding in his hand now is all that the dragon king Naga has in this world.

Joseph took out a brazier from the inner room, and a charcoal fire was burning in the basin.

Perhaps not all high-level hunters know that the waist card also has an anti-counterfeiting effect, but the head of each hall branch must clearly know how to prevent counterfeiting. The lobby will not allow anyone to impersonate the hall's high-ranking hunters.

Ian's waist card was thrown into the brazier by Joseph and tempered in the coals. If it's wood or some inferior metal, it will be ruined by the heat in a short time. But Ian wasn't worried about this, how could it be useful to test the skull of the emperor in the fire with flames.

The truth is just as Ian thought, the flames couldn't help his waist card at all. The waist plaque, engraved with the thorn flower and the words "Supreme Glory", remained motionless in the flames. After a long time, Joseph used tweezers to clip the waist card out, and then put it into the cold water that had been prepared. With a pop, a curling white mist poured up the barrel.

Joseph then took the card out of the water and put it in the sun. Then he lowered his head to check, and Ian also leaned over curiously, and then was surprised to find that the waist card had changed.

Fine lines appeared on the surface of the waist card, intertwined like a burning flame, wrapping the central thorn flower. It looks like a gorgeous thorn flower blooming proudly in flames.

From this moment on, Joseph could be sure that the waist card was genuine. Not only because of the hidden flame, but also because under the "supreme glory" there is a small, inconspicuous pattern, an inverted triangle.

Joseph knew that this was the sign of Alder, the city of alchemy. This high-level hunter's domino is not from the imperial capital, but from the alchemical city of Alder, from the city where the sunflower symbolizes everything.

After a long time, the pattern of the flame and the small pattern disappeared, and the domino seemed to dim again. It's just that the many blooming thorn flowers and "supreme glory" have not disappeared, they will not disappear, because they are the most direct affirmation of the high-level hunters who hold this brand.

Joseph held the belt card in both hands and handed it to Ian. Ian took it, and to be honest, he didn't know that there were so many ways to do it, and the intertwined flames were already imprinted in his mind, and he suddenly found himself connected to the flames.

The dragon flame sigil on his arm, the slain fire dragon king Naga, and the flame that symbolizes glory. It's just that he doesn't know if these flames can burn in the vast sea, burning hot.

"Your Excellency. The aged Joseph bent down at Ian and said reverently, "It is an honor to serve you, and allow me to reintroduce myself to Joseph Kengrich, the head of the Sophia Port branch of the Hall." ”

Ian was unaccustomed to Joseph's sudden deference, especially since Joseph was an elderly man. But he couldn't refuse Joseph's sincerity, because he also knew very well what kind of status the senior hunter of the hall had in the hall.

Come to think of it, in the crusade against the dragon king Naga, Alder only ominated three high-level hunters.

"Well, you've worked hard. Ian didn't know what to say, and after holding it for a long time, he held back such a sentence.

But it was such a sentence that made Joseph recall the loneliness and loneliness of the past few decades, and he couldn't help the trembling in his heart, and once again burst into tears.

"Thirty years, I've been waiting for thirty years. Since that expedition thirty years ago, no hunters have come to the port of Sofia. ”

Ian recalled what he had read in the book that the hall had evacuated everyone from the Port Sofia branch thirty years earlier, and he was also puzzled. But at the moment he doesn't care about that, he wasn't born thirty years ago, and now he cares more about sea monsters.

"If you really want to help me, tell me about the sea monster. Ian said.

"Sea monsters?" Joseph remembered Ian's purpose for coming here, and then suddenly remembered something, "My lord, if you want to know about sea monsters, there is a girl who can help you!"
