Chapter Seventy-Five: The Problem
After Professor Dilai Sisminya explained the analysis of the headhunters, several elf professors came to the stage to present their or their team's research results on the headhunters.
At this time, it has been about half a month since Dale informed Professor Makatina of the discovery of the headhunters, and it is already rare that the Jade Magic Academy can study so much information. However, these research results are only the surface of headhunters, and they are not enough to summarize an effective way to deal with headhunters.
Finally, the magic projection on the podium illuminates a map of the Emerald Forest, densely marked with the locations of the discovered Headhunter camps, as well as some elven villages that have been captured by the Headhunters.
The lecture hall fell silent.
An old elven scholar stepped up to the podium. His face was wrinkled, his eyelids were sagging and he couldn't open them, his thinning hair was tied in a bun, and the tips of his ears drooped.
Professor Makatina whispered to Clear Sky, "This is Ezra Vidar, the head of the Emerald Magic Academy, and he has the title of 'Deer of Wisdom'. We don't know how many years he lived, and it seems that he had forgotten about it, but he was definitely one of the oldest forest elves and had seen the devastation of the Emerald Forest after the ancient wars. ”
Clear Sky said, "'The Deer of Wisdom'...... Even in the desolate West, we often hear the name of Abbot Vidal and his legend. He gave up the honor of inheriting the Elven King and chose to create the Jade Magic Academy, which he has guarded to this day.
It can be said that Dean Vidal laid the foundation of the modern magical science of the Emerald Forest, and was also the pioneer of the Emerald Forest's integration into human civilization. ”
Hearing that the Moonlight Queen had such a high opinion of her own dean, Makatina said happily, "Yes, Dean Vidal is the guide of the Emerald Forest to a new civilization. ”
Dean Vidal stood on the podium, looking weak, but he said with a lot of energy: "Not long ago, I saw the personal entourage sent by the Shamrock King, and His Majesty asked the Jade Magic Academy if it had found a way to deal with the headhunters.
If we can't come up with a workable plan, Your Majesty may have to choose the Forest Elves to leave the Emerald Forest......"
Dean Vidal's words made the lecture hall even louder.
Move the family!
It's definitely a stain on the forest elves forever.
And it's easy to leave, but it's not easy to come back.
However, the headhunters have strong fecundity and a terrifying speed of strength increase, if they don't take advantage of the time to evacuate now, when the headhunters attack the Jade Palace, they will only pay heavier losses.
Is there really no other way?
"Silence!" Dean Bilda's voice was not loud, but immediately silenced the noisy classroom: "Every minute of time is precious now. We have missed the best time to suppress the Headhunters, who are growing at a terrifying rate, and they can appear around the Emerald Court at any moment and attack.
The Shamrock King trusts us, and he's waiting for news from us.
Can anyone make suggestions? Even if it's not feasible, it can be an inspiration. ”
An elven professor in the audience raised his hand, and after receiving permission from Dean Vidal, he stood up and said, "Headhunters are tricky, but their weaknesses are also very obvious. Find the Hunting Empress and kill it, you can fix the number of Headhunters, and then it is a simple matter to eliminate them one by one.
The difficulty now is not knowing where to hunt the Empress.
I think that using astrological divination, concentrating the abilities of all the soothsayers in the academy, combined with the computing power of the alchemy difference machine, it may be possible to calculate the location of the hunting empress. ”
Dean Vidal thought about it for a moment: "Astrological divination is a derivation of the laws of all things in the world, and our knowledge of the headhunters is not enough to make accurate divination, and we can't report this as a solution to the Shamrock King."
This is about the future fate of the forest elves, and His Majesty needs a definite value to make decisions, and an uncertain value will only interfere with him.
But for us, astrological divination is not a reference factor. Professor Favali, I grant you permission to summon the Academy's soothsayers for a large-scale divination ceremony, which can begin now. ”
Professor Favali saluted Dean Vidal before leaving the lecture hall. Several soothsayers got up and left with Professor Favali.
Another elven professor raised his hand and stood up: "The headhunter has low intelligence, and his mental power is also very low. We can try to use mind control devices to control headhunters into their territory, so that we can definitely get more information, and maybe find the location of the headhunter. ”
Dean Vidal was pleased and said, "This is a great idea! This is up to you, and if you need a headhunter experiment, let the Royal Court Patrol know and they will find a way to meet your experimentation needs. ”
Then several elf professors came up with their own ideas.
None of them are solutions, but at least they are moving towards the ultimate goal.
While the clear sky was listening attentively, Professor Makatina, who was beside him, raised his hand.
With Dean Vidal's permission, Professor Makatina stood up and said, "According to the known information, the headhunters are very aggressive towards animals, and they have not been found to attack plants with a clear hunting purpose.
We can try to grow and breed aggressive plants to slow down the expansion of headhunters. Toxins against headhunters can be cultivated for non-contact combat. ”
Dean Vidal praised: "There is a very feasible solution. However, it is necessary to use caution when cultivating toxins against headhunters, and be sure that headhunters will not evolve resistance to toxins, or even toxins against us.
We still know too little about headhunters, don't be too aggressive. ”
Makatina saluted and replied, "Yes, Dean, I will be mindful of your concerns. ”
At this time, Dean Vidal noticed the clear sky sitting next to Makatina.
"One...... Prairie elves. I don't remember the steppe elf scholar hired by the academy, how did you get in. ”
Professor Macatina immediately explained, "This is Miss Starry Sky, from Fengcao City, Harmutu Basin, Western Territory of the Golden Shield Empire.
Miss Starry Sky learns that we are suffering from headhunters and wants to help us. ”
Clear Sky stood up and saluted Dean Vidal: "Dean Vidal, I feel extremely honored to meet you. ”
Dean Vidal looked at Clear Sky, his almost obscuring eyelids widened a little, and then he returned the salute very formally to Clear Sky amid the surprised gazes of all the elves.
"Miss Starry Sky, I am also very honored to have your visit. Thank you for your willingness to help the Emerald Forest, I wonder what you think of the headhunters? ”
"I've been listening and think that the professors and scholars of the Emerald Magic Academy have found the right way, and all they need is time to verify," said Clear Sky.
I'm going to talk about my thoughts from the other direction.
During the period of ancient warfare, especially in the early period, many transcendent beings that had never existed before suddenly appeared in a concentrated manner. The first appearance of headhunters was during that period.
In addition, recently, I have been researching the 'Valkyrie' that once appeared in the Tedgar Hills, this kind of transcendent creature also appeared in the ancient war period, the most active in the early stage of the war, and gradually disappeared in the middle and late stages.
There are also Medusa, two-headed lizarddragons, dreameaters, and furious orcs......
According to a research paper published by the Golden Shield Empire's Transcendent Creatures Research Institute, these transcendent creatures that suddenly appear and disappear for various reasons have more or less flaws that make it difficult for them to reproduce and continue.
……”
Because of the values of the forest elves, there is no transcendent biological transformation discipline in the Jade Magic Academy, and the level of understanding of transcendent creatures is far inferior to that of human counterparts.
Therefore, what Clear Sky said instantly opened up a new idea and direction for these forest elves.
Dean Vidal said: "Yes, the flaws of the headhunters are very obvious and fatal. The Hunting Empress must be surrounded by the Headhunters, and now that the Headhunters have become powerful, we don't even know where the Hunting Empress is......"
Clear Sky smiled and said, "Dean Vidal, you are avoiding the point I said. In the early stages of ancient warfare, a large number of transcendent beings appeared in various parts of the world, which must have been due to the fact that the world at that time formed the conditions for their appearance.
Now that the headhunters have appeared again in the Emerald Forest, does it mean that this condition has been formed again? ”
Dean Vidal said: "The emergence of headhunters is a scientific problem, and I don't want to involve anything else. Miss Starry Sky, I think you can see what I mean. ”
"The emergence of headhunters is of course a scientific issue, and as for whether other things will be involved, it is not up to you to decide.
And since you think that the emergence of headhunters is a scientific problem, then...... Why don't you tell everyone how to find a way to hunt the queen quickly? ”
The words of the clear sky instantly caused an uproar in the staircase classroom.
Does Dean Vidal know how to quickly find a way to hunt the Queen?
But if he knew, why didn't he say it!
You must know that now the forest elves who have been forced by the hunters are going to move out of the Emerald Forest.
Professor Makatina said dissatisfiedly to Clear Sky, "Miss Starry Sky, I have great respect for you, but please don't frame Dean Vidal. If the Dean knew how to find and kill the Empress, he would definitely not hide it! ”
Clear Sky didn't answer, but looked at Dean Vidal.
Myrdal stood there, not justifying himself. His unusual behavior made the elves guess...... Could it be that the Dean really knows how to find and hunt the Empress?
The jumbled voices quickly subsided, and the elves looked at Clear Sky and Dean Vidal at the same time, wondering what the correct answer was.
At this time, an elf teaching assistant broke into the lecture hall: "Dean...... Dean, oh no! An angel landed in the academy and he said...... He said his companion was hunted by headhunters! ”
What!
All the elves stood up in shock.
When the headhunter encounters a strong enemy, it will cultivate a targeted hunter, and if the hunter succeeds in hunting the target, the queen of hunting will produce this type of hunter in batches. Therefore, when the forest elves face the headhunters, they pay great attention to the protection of their own strong combat units.
Now you say an angel is hunted!
Angels have nothing to do with the Emerald Forest! It's okay for you to provoke headhunters for what!
Dean Vidal knew the seriousness of the matter, and he asked solemnly, "Where is the angel who came?" ”
"The angel has been injured and has been taken to the hospital for treatment."
"Take me to him!" Dean Bilda suppressed his anger. After taking a few steps, he turned to Clear Sky and said, "If you don't mind, Miss Starry Sky, can you accompany me to see this angel?" ”
"Absolutely. I'm also very curious, what are the angels doing in the Emerald Forest at this time? ”
Clear Sky followed Dean Bilda out of the lecture hall.
The elves immediately surrounded Professor Makatina and asked what the identity of this steppe elf from the Golden Shield Empire was.
Professor Macatina said, "If you guessed, Miss Starry Sky is exactly what you guessed. Now let's do what we have to do, and no matter what the headhunters become, it's us who face them. ”
The elves quickly dispersed.
Professor Macatina is right, no matter what Miss Starry Sky is or what happens in the future, it is always the forest elves who face the headhunters.
Clear Sky followed Dean Vidal to the academy medical office, and saw a male angel being treated by a physician.
The angel took off his armor and sat in the medical chair, his whole body covered with scars from sharp blades, and his left wing was cut off.
The elven healer smears potions on the angel and casts magic to speed up wound healing and absorption.
Dean Vidal walked up to the angel and asked, "Your name, and the purpose of coming to the Emerald Forest." ”
The angel endured the pain and said, "I am the Holy Judge Angel Sapphire Siphos, and I have come to the Emerald Forest to check the condition of the Magic Spring by order of the Sword of Oath......"
Abbot Vidal stretched out his hand to stop the Holy Angel Siforth from continuing, and he said to the physician, "You go out, I want to talk to this angel about some confidential matters." ”
"Follow your orders, Dean Vidal."
The elven doctor leaves.
Abbot Vidal said to the angels, "Why are you investigating the Magic Spring? ”
Angel Siphus said, "This is the order of the Sword of Oath, and I don't need to give you any explanation. Like last time, the Headhunters were created by the Magic Spring, and the Hunting Empress was there.
When we found the Magic Spring, my companions and I were discovered, and I was the only one who escaped. ”
Dean Vidal couldn't help but be angry and said, "Since you know what a headhunter is, you should only know what the consequences of an angel being hunted will be!" Soon there will be a large number of hunters who have the ability to hunt angels, and not only will our forest spirits die, but the whole world will also usher in an unprecedented disaster! ”
The angel didn't show any remorse, he said, "Hunting an angel can't change the fact that headhunters are low-level creatures. As long as Sky City is willing, he can decapitate and hunt the Empress at any time.
At this time, the forest elves should lower their posture and seek the help of Sky City, instead of blaming an angel who has delivered news for you! ”
