The president did not stay in her office, but Amos inquired with a passing staff member and found her on the terrace on the second floor of the assembly hall.

"President."

Holding a slender pipe in his hand, the dragon clan leader, who was silently looking at the northern sky, turned around, and she found that the face of the person who came was not too good-looking.

"Is it Amos, what's the matter?"

"President, Xia Zuo came back last night, he was not lightly injured, and asked me to give this to you before falling into a coma." Amos took out a small roll of parchment and placed it in the president's hand.

The president's expression suddenly became serious, and she put down her pipe, unfolding the parchment and reading the information recorded on it, while asking about Natsuzo's situation.

"Is Xia Zuo seriously injured?"

"It's okay to talk about the trauma, but the problem is that he inhaled the poisonous mist of Xia Long, and the toxin of Gu Long is not something that ordinary antidote can solve."

Speaking of this, Amos seemed a little hesitant, but he finally asked his own question: "President, I shouldn't be too talkative, but I still want to know why Xia Zuo would go alone to deal with Xia Long."

That's an ancient dragon!

Although Xia Zuo is the best dual sword envoy in our Minagard Gathering, an eight-star hunter, no matter how strong a hunter is, there is no guarantee that he can fight against the ancient dragon alone and survive, it is too dangerous! ”

Facing Amos, who was obviously a little excited, the President sighed softly, "How could I send someone to hunt the ancient dragon......

It was the Ancient Dragon Observatory that sent a request for assistance, and they had lost the trace of the Xialong in the depths of Eastern Shuret, perhaps due to the influence of 'that thing' in the ruins of the ancient city of Shuret, and the Xialong may be migrating westward.

As you know, the Kasuma Dragon has the ability to stealth, and the hot air balloon of the Ancient Dragon Observatory alone can't locate it at all, so I sent Xia Zuo deep into the Shuretsen Hill to investigate the location of the Kasumi Dragon.

I should have been more cautious, if I had sent a team of high-ranking hunters at that time, even if I encountered Xia Long, I would always be able to evacuate safely under mutual cover. ”

Hearing the president's explanation, Amos's face looked better.

As long as it is not specially sent to "send hunters to death", those ancient dragons are not at all able to be solved by relying on one or two hunters.

They are walking natural disasters, and the action itself alone has the potential to cause large-scale changes in the ecosystem.

Humans can only repel it by building strong fortifications, spending a lot of manpower and material resources, and gathering the strength of countless hunters.

Do you really think that the walls of Minagard, and the mighty fortifications, were used to deal with the Wyverns? Are you kidding!

They were designed from the ground up to deal with threats from the depths of the northern Shurett Mountains.

A threat named "Ancient Dragon".

"Anything else?"

"It's a small thing."

Amos rubbed his forehead and said, "I recently took on an apprentice, and I will probably devote more time to her before she grows up. ”

Hearing the meaning of Amos's words, the president's expression softened a little, and a smile appeared in her eyes, "I understand, nurturing the next generation is always the top priority, so don't worry." ”

"Thank you for your understanding, then I won't bother you." Amos nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back again.

"I almost forgot, let me say more, the assembly hall should probably be more cautious when it comes to mission selection and intelligence."

The president raised her slender eyebrows, not dissatisfied, but a little curious.

"Cautious? What do you mean? ”

"Look at this two-star mission list, Gordon just took it not long ago, do you remember Gordon?"

"Of course, the young man from Kokot Village, after all, is the talent recommended by the 'hero', and I still pay attention to it." The President smiled and took the task list handed by Amos, and after a few glances, her brow slowly furrowed.

“...... The Odd-Faced Clan's summer festival, this is indeed our negligence. ”

The President's expression became serious again, even more gloomy than when the topic of "Ancient Dragon" was discussed before.

Amos directly pointed out: "In the summer, at the festival where the Strange Face Clan gathers in large numbers, the king of the Strange Face Clan may appear, and it is a monster whose danger level is close to the top position.

In case of encounter, with the strength of young people, they will not be able to come back. ”

From the position of the "hunter", Amos would not be polite to such a thing.

There is no problem with the task of defeating 20 Odd-faced Clans to be rated as two stars, but there is no note on the mission slip to remind the King of Strange-Faced Clans of possible information, which is a big problem.

"Apologize to Gordon on my behalf, I will cancel the mission, and dispose of the staff responsible for the mission's rating." The president said solemnly and seriously.

But he didn't expect Amos to wave his hand, "No need, I will participate in the mission in the name of bringing apprentices to familiarize themselves with the hunting ground, if the king of the Strange Face Clan really appears, I will deal with it." ”

"In that case, I'll be more troublesome for you." The president folded her hands in front of her and bowed deeply.

"You're gracious, take your leave." After a brief goodbye, Amos left alone.

The president took out her pipe again, filled it with tobacco, lit a fire, and after taking a deep breath, she exhaled a long puff of smoke as if she wanted to spit out all the troubles in her heart.

"It's been an eventful time."

......

At noon, Amos was treated, and Gordon had the most sumptuous lunch since he was born.

Even with the double discount of the internal discount of the assembly hall and the special treatment of the upper hunter of Amos, the cost of this meal is still more than 1,500 gold.

A variety of unheard of high-end ingredients opened Gordon's eyes,

Ghost green shellfish caught from the port early in the morning, king goldfish sashimi, sweet conb salad from the desert, white liver steamed in sake, and crab shell grilled ......

and the all-important main course – the red wine slow-simmered rock dragon tail.

At first, Gordon thought it was a big stone soaked in a fragrant broth.

Actually, it's true, according to Amos, this dish is carefully prepared with the tail of a wyvern monster called "Armored Dragon", the tail of "Rock Dragon".

More than ninety percent of the large tail is inedible bone and rocky carapace, but speaking of the thin layer of oily tender flesh that is mixed in.

It's a work of art!

Even Hayata, who eats elegantly, can't help but eat a lot.

What the two young men didn't know was that many of these high-end dishes were not to be bought even if they had money, and only hunters who had reached a certain level could "unlock" these special menus.

Is it also a kind of "incentive mechanism" for the assembly center?

Amos smiled as he watched Gordon go from polite and reserved at the beginning to gobbling it up later.

He admired the young man.

There are many reasons for this, such as the excellent talent of being promoted to two stars at a young age, the steely physique that can only be honed by working hard enough, the kindness of saving close friends and disciples, and the "feelings" that the heroes of Kocot are willing to endorse......

If it weren't for the fact that the other party obviously belonged to the strength type of the path, and the basic fighting style had already been set, he would have wanted to accept one more disciple.

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip of the light fruit wine, Amos looked at Hayata, who was also eating red.

The little girl's talent is also excellent, and her mind is strong enough, and when she grows up, she will not be worse than this kid, enough to inherit his mantle.

Hawkers, although he didn't become a master and apprentice, since he looked pleasing to the eye, let's teach him more things.
