The hall Radwell branch is much more luxurious than the Mingtong City branch, with a conspicuous two-story building, rather than the Mingtong City branch, a dilapidated house in a broken alley. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The person in charge of info is also much more normal, a middle-aged man in a white robe, with a simple thorn flower embroidered on his chest. It seems to be much more reliable than the crazy old man in the Mingtong City branch, but for some reason, Ian misses the crazy old man who only remembers one name.

"Hand in the task or take the task?" The middle-aged man originally lowered his head and wrote something on the desk, but after hearing the movement, he raised his head, and his expression instantly became exciting, "Oh my God, is it a dragon's tooth behind you?"

Ian nodded, then handed the parchment that Mingtong had received to the middle-aged man. After a little surprise, the middle-aged man regained his peaceful smile and was not as shocked as the others.

"Well, congratulations on completing the dragon slaying mission. The middle-aged man took the parchment and glanced at it hurriedly, his brows furrowed, "Exploration mission? to ensure the safety of the Lutheran Forest Trade Road, my God, you will slay the head dragon back from the exploration mission?"

The middle-aged man raised his head with a look of surprise: "You can go back and hand over the information that there are dragons in the Luth Jungle to the hall, and you can still receive this hundred bounties." At that time, the hall will issue another dragon hunting mission, and the bounty will be more than this 100 gold. Don't you know?"

Ian and Nicole looked at each other.

The middle-aged man was even more surprised: "Are you newcomers? Oh my God, I'll take a look, Ian, well, what's that black mass in the back?"

Ian's original name was "Ian Iliad", but after thinking about it, he drew the Iliad. After all, the successor of the Iliad was far more terrifying than the dragon hunter, so he explained to the middle-aged man that he had made a mistake and that he had no surname.

"Well, and Miss Nicole Catherine. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded to Nicole, "Just the two of you?"

Ian nodded awkwardly, after all, Rudo's identity couldn't be borrowed for too long. He always wanted to be a full-fledged hunter in the hall.

"Actually, this is the first time we have done a task, and a senior helped us take over the task. Ian could only lie, the middle-aged man didn't believe it at first, but the dragon teeth behind Ian were too convincing. So he hesitated for a moment, and said to Ian, "Please lend us the dragon tooth behind you, and if you can, we will use Miss Nicole's dragon claw as well." ”

Ian and Nicole removed the dragon teeth and claws and placed them on the middle-aged man's desk. The middle-aged man shook the bell on the table, and soon, a hot woman walked out of the room, she glanced at the things on the table, and also showed a surprised expression: "My God, this is the dragon's teeth and dragon claws?"

"That's what we need to prove. The middle-aged man introduced Ian and Nicole, "This is Xiu, she's a Hall-certified Level 3 dragon researcher. Dragons are researchers who study dragons. ”

Xiu looked at the middle-aged man with some dissatisfaction: "Seaver, are you in the water of your brain? The dragon hunter will not know about the dragon researcher? Is it a brain show that has been sitting on the bench for so long?"

Seaver scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Actually, Xiu, the two of them are doing the task for the first time, and they don't have the certification of the hall yet." ”

Her slender eyes narrowed instantly, like a fox, looking at Ian and Nicole. In the end, she snorted lightly: "Then do you need to say this? So young, there is no certification from the hall, dragon slayer? The ghost knows what kind of **** luck they picked up, and they happened to pick it up." ”

Nicole was furious in an instant. Anyway, she and Ian fought hard to kill the dragon, and now in the eyes of others, they are just tricks. So she was angry and took a step forward to reason with Xiu, but Ian held her back.

"What, does dragon slaying still need proof?" Ian looked at Seaver, "Aren't these dragon teeth and dragon claws proof?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Seaver also pulled Xiu, because Ian was right, according to the rules of the hall, the dragon's teeth and dragon's claws were already proof. If the people in the branch deliberately made things difficult and stabbed the hall headquarters, both of them would not be able to eat and walk around.

Xiu also knew this truth, so he could only snort, and then picked up the dragon teeth and dragon claws and walked to the room. Seaver watched her hot back disappear into the doorway, smiled wryly, and said sorry to Ian and Nicole: "She's just this temper, in fact, a third-level dragon researcher wouldn't be in such a remote branch." She should be doing research at the Imperial Capital Headquarters, but her hometown is here, so she will come back to work. In fact, she is still very capable, but her temperament is too rude. ”

Ian smiled and nodded in understanding, while Nicole pinched his waist and then muttered in his ear, "Say, don't you want me to scold her because she's in good shape?"

Ian also gritted his teeth and said softly: "You still don't believe it when you say you're an idiot, big girl, think about it with your brain." If the two of us had a hunter certificate, we would have asked you to scold her a long time ago, but we don't have it now!In case they get angry and take it seriously, we must let the person who took the task in the first place to receive the bounty, what should we do?!"

Nicole thought for a moment, then reluctantly let go of her hand and nodded, "That's what you said." ”

"But she's in good shape, ********, much better than you can see. Ian added.

"You!" Nicole was about to blow up again. Fortunately, it was repaired at this time.

"How's it going, Xiu?" said Seaver with a smile.

"Not very good. Xiu said angrily, "Judging from the length of the dragon's teeth, the sharpness and shape of the dragon's claws, it should be a juvenile flying dragon species, a female." ”

"You can tell the male and female by looking at the teeth. Ian muttered in Nicole's ear, "." ”

Nicole's pretty face turned red inexplicably.

The slender eyes suddenly widened, staring straight at Ian: "What did you say?"

"Isn't it, can you hear that?" Ian froze.

Xiu glared at Ian fiercely, and continued: "The next thing can only be speculated, according to Professor Holman's "Distribution of Dragon Species in the Continent", the Wyvern species living in this environment. There are probably four-star Wyvern species Black Armor Ridgeback Dragon, four-star Wyvern Species Front-tailed Black Feather Dragon, and five-star Huangyan Dragon, and of course, the legendary Dragon Emperor Insykes. ”

Xiu paused and continued: "First of all, exclude the Dragon Emperor Insykes, there is no need to consider the existence of that kind of legend now. It is also unlikely that the five-star Huangyan Dragon lives in the deepest part of the Yarman Forest is just a legend, no one has ever seen it, but it is possible that it appeared in the volcano. Then there's the Black-Armored Ridgeback and the Sharp-tailed Black-Feathered Dragon, and I'm more inclined to the latter. The former, like its name, has heavy dragon scales on its body, and unless there are a large number of alchemy products or secret weapons, it is unlikely to hurt it, let alone kill it. ”

"And the front-tailed black feather dragon is the only possibility. Instead of thick dragon scales, the black feather dragon has black feathers, like a crow, but its tail is the hardest part, and adult black feather dragons will attack with their tails, just like bees. The juvenile black feather dragon is not good at using it, and its huge tail is more of a drag on their movements. Therefore, it is more likely to be hunted by hunters successfully. ”

Ian was already stunned, they didn't expect that this chick with a hot body and a good face was not a vase, and could analyze the dragon they encountered just by seeing the dragon's teeth and claws. Nicole was even more surprised, her expression had already told Xiu that her guess was correct.

"Ahem, two, is that right?" Seaver coughed as he woke up Ian and Nicole.

"That's right. Ian twitched his mouth, admiring this wise woman in his heart, "The dragon we fought against did have a thick tail, and as she said, there were almost no scales on the dragon's body. ”

"Well, in that case, Mr. Ian, your mission is accomplished. Seaver smiled and pulled out a "jingle" cloth bag, "Here's a hundred gold coins." Oh, and I heard you don't have a hunter's license, right? The rules of the hall are very strict, but well, for hunters who are capable of slaying dragons, they are very lenient. ”

As he spoke, Seaver pulled out two more small wooden cards from his desk. Ian and Nicole had been staring at the cloth bag, but as soon as he took out the small wooden card, their eyes immediately shifted to staring at his hand.

"The hall believes that hunters who have the ability to slay dragons must not need to participate in the training of hunter schools. Seaver smiled and handed the sign to Ian and Nicole, who took it with different expressions.

Ian's fingertips gently stroked the thorn flowers carved on the wooden plaque, feeling the rough texture of the wooden plaque, and his heart was full of emotion.

"The certification plate in the hall is the most important thing for my brother, more important than life. The Messiah spoke to him like this.

"It's a bit strange to lose something that has been with me for decades. These are Rudo's words.

Now Ian has this sign, and it means a lot to him. The most intuitive is the proof that he has officially stepped into the hunter world.

Ten years ago, the owner of hundreds of brands withered like a flower, and it was like a nightmare for him that he would never wake up from. He had been on the run for ten years, ten years away from that nightmare, but he never thought that he would come back.

"It's your fate, Ian. Rudo whispered in his ear.

"Cut, I don't know where I picked it up, but I really think I'm a hunter. Xiu still didn't believe Ian, and seeing that Ian and Nicole got the brand, she felt even more uncomfortable. So she walked straight out the door, and when she passed Ian, she pushed him angrily, "Don't get in the way of Miss Ben." ”

Ian didn't pay attention, the wooden card in his hand was knocked out, he watched the wooden card fall, stretched out his hand to pick it up, but the wooden card passed by his fingertips.

"Bang".

The wooden sign fell to the ground, stained with a little dust.

Ian froze, still picking up the sign. Xiu glanced back, a little embarrassed, but she didn't apologize and turned around to leave.

But her hand was stopped.

"What are you doing?" Xiu looked back angrily.

"You're damned. ”

Xiu heard a faint crack in the air, and then two fingers flew in front of her, only a centimeter away from her beautiful eyes. Xiu subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a pair of scarlet eyes.

At that moment, her body froze.

She suddenly felt a sleeping beast slowly waking up, opened a pair of scarlet eyes, and it stood up, spreading a pair of wings that covered the sky, and the thick scales were cold in the moonlight.

The beast opened its huge mouth, and blood flowed out of its mouth, slowly flowing to Xiu's feet, and then formed a pair of bloody hands, crawling up her legs.

"Roar!"

"Sir, Xiu is just not sensible. Seaver's eager voice reached Xiu's ears, and at that moment, the terrifying beast disappeared, the wings that covered the sky also disappeared, and the scarlet eyes turned into ordinary black eyes. The smell of blood in the air -- where did the smell of blood come from, it was obviously the peony blooming on the windowsill.

Ian felt a pain in his brain and looked at Xiu, who was completely stunned, and didn't know what was going on. He bent down, picked up the wooden card, then turned around and picked up the dragon's fangs and claws, and left with Nicole. I didn't look at her much when I walked through Xiu, as if she didn't exist.

Xiu lowered her head, and there was no blood on the ground, but there was a little water stain, which was beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

"Xiu, you're so rude. Seaver said, "Anyway, they are also certified hunters in the hall now, if you don't want to admit it, you can go to the hall headquarters to report the situation, how can you spill here." ”

Xiu didn't talk, but hugged his arms tightly and said in a trembling voice: "He, he, he's not human." ”

"What is not a person?" Seaver was stunned, he saw that Xiu's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he asked with some concern, "Do you have a fever?"

Xiu didn't answer, so Seaver stretched out his hand and probed her forehead, and his face became not very good: "How can it be, it's only been so long, it's so hot." Go back and rest first, I'm here. ”

Xiu bit his lip and nodded, then turned to leave, but his legs were still a little weak. She walked out of the room, feeling the warm sunlight on her face, and felt a little more comfortable, when she suddenly remembered what someone had said to him a long time ago:

"Xiu, do you know? Hunters who can slay dragons often have a beast more ferocious than a dragon living in their hearts. ”
