readx;? The two parchments contain different contents, the first of which is official, from Hepburn Hildeman, the city lord of Sophia Harbor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Scott hurriedly swept through the small words, removing the official language, which roughly explained that a small town called "Shaibe" next to Sophia Harbor was attacked by an unknown creature, and the town was destroyed because of it, so he asked the hall for help.

"Port Sophia, I remember not interacting with the hall thirty years ago. Scott frowned and said, "What happened to them that made them so flustered?"

"Have you ever heard of a sea monster?"

Scott shook his head, then nodded, "I probably know something." ”

"Port Sofia has always been committed to convincing the people that the sea monster is just a legend. Karan looked Scott in the eye and said, "Even if the port of Sofia is occasionally attacked by an unknown force from the sea, they will ignore it as much as possible. ”

"Why are they doing this?" asked Scott, puzzled, "Is it any good for them to hide the sea monster?"

"Be a thief. ”

"To be a thief?"

"Well, being a thief is weak. Karan slowly stood up from the chair, this tall and thin old man, when he got up, he still gave Scott an invisible oppressive force, he looked at Scott, and said like the emperor's dictation, "Legend has it that Sophia stole the treasure of the gods at sea, and used it to develop Sophia Harbor. ”

"Can you believe this kind of legend?"

"Legends are indeed unbelievable, so we have to turn legends into facts, and the development of Sofia Port is indeed a mystery. Karan looked at Scott, his cloudy eyes seemed to be able to completely penetrate the middle-aged man in front of him, "You are the head of the Granger family, you should have this ability." ”

Scott couldn't lift his head under the pressure of this gaze. Only then did he understand why his father was also in awe when he mentioned Karan, yes, Karan was already old, very old, but no one could change the fact that he was the Lord of the Rose. Scott couldn't help but start imagining what he looked like when he was younger, how high-spirited it must have been.

"I don't understand. Scott was easily defeated by Karan's fierce gaze, and he realized how foolish he had been to negotiate with him in the name of the head of the Granger family.

"Legends always have some basis. Karan withdrew his gaze and just lowered his head and played with the ring on his index finger, "Just like a few months ago, we just ended a legend. ”

"Flame Naga?" Scott suddenly realized something, and exclaimed, "You mean, the so-called treasure of the gods that Sophia found in the first place was actually another king, could it be that she found Atlantis in the first place?!"

"When Sophia's great lord left, we weren't even born. "So what she did, we can only guess." You guessed well, who knows if she actually found the Temple of the Sea in the first place. ”

"The Temple of the Sea is a legend of the elves. Scott said a little weakly, "And Atlantis has nothing to do with the Dragon King, it belongs to the palace of the master of the sea." ”

"Everyone looks at things from different angles, and the legends left behind are also different, and we can only guess or verify the legends. "It's like a sea monster, a creature that originally existed only in legends, but now it's here, and it's destroying a town and crushing their hearts, it's not a legend." ”

Scott was silent, feeling like his mind was spinning a little. In front of this wise old man, he seems to have lived in vain for more than 50 years, just like a child who is still learning to walk, and the old man can already fly.

"So what should we do? Send a team of hunters to Port Sophia?" Scott asked, "like the Kingkiller team?"

Karan shook her head, "No, we don't even know what we're dealing with. The sea is not a place where hunters can go if they want, and I will not send hunters there to die. ”

"So, just leave Sophia Harbor alone?" Scott didn't think it was good.

"Look at what's written on the other piece of paper, someone is trying to help us out. ”

Scott remembered that he was holding another piece of parchment in his hand, and hurriedly looked down. Compared to the very regular letters of the previous Hepburn Hildeman City Lord, the things recorded on this piece of paper were extremely messy, like children's graffiti, and Scott had to be very patient to distinguish the indistinguishable bytes, and he had to endure the inexplicable smell from the paper, like moldy vegetable buns.

After reading it, Scott's expression became very weird: "What does this mean?"

"The senior hunters in each hall, who have received tasks anywhere, must report to the headquarters, and the headquarters must always keep track of the whereabouts of each senior hunter in order to find them at critical moments. Karan said calmly, "Such a measure is called Tiankong, don't you know?"

"How could I not have known that the Tiankong is in charge of our Granger family. Scott said, "It's just that I can't understand this report of the Heavenly Control, a high-level hunter would take on the task of one gold coin plus three silver coins, and it is also a crusade against sea monsters?"

Scott was puzzled, but Karan was calm: "Look at who picked it up." ”

Scott lowered his head again, "Ian?"

"He's a young man with a lot of personality, isn't he?" Karan smiled slightly, "After dealing with the Flame Naga, did you try to challenge the king of the sea again?"

"I don't understand. ”

"I don't understand. Karan whispered, "According to Alder's news, the youngest high-level hunter in the history of this hall should no longer be able to hunt. He should have spent the rest of his life in his supreme glory, but he didn't seem to be willing to be lonely. ”

Scott was silent, pondering Karan's words. But in the end, he couldn't think of a reason, just shook his head and sighed: "He is just like his father, which is incomprehensible." ”

"Actually, you can see it from another angle, Scott, how long has it been since you hunted?"

Scott was stunned: "This, I don't know, but it's been at least more than ten years." ”

"So, you don't understand. Karan took out a dagger encrusted with rubies from his sleeve and slowly pulled it out of its scabbard, the sharp blade reflecting Karan's vicissitudes of life.

"So be it. Karan said softly, "Let's just watch quietly and see what kind of surprise this boy can bring us." ”

With a "bang", Karan slammed the blade into the scabbard. At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating half of Karan's body in that instant. The other half of his body was still hidden in the darkness, and Scott happened to see this scene, and at that moment, he only felt that Karan's face was like a ghost.

"Maybe, an unexpected surprise. Karan whispered.

The next moment, the belated thunder slowly sounded, like the roar of a fierce beast, waking up the sleeping imperial capital. Scott looked at Karan in horror, watching the old man face everything calmly, staring at the thunderstorm outside the house.
