Chapter 337: Lan Long's act of self-preservation
A week later, Gordon and Hayatta returned to Yuyun Village.
The two brought back a large number of fire dragon materials, including the female fire dragon and the male fire dragon of the mission target
It can be said that they returned with a full load, but their faces are not good-looking.
didn't even go to the counter to hand in the task, so he directly called Anhill, and then found the village chief of Jieyun Village and the manager of the Jieyun Club, an old dragon who loves to drink.
The five of them met for a second meeting.
"The 'source' of the storm should not be the direct cause of the monsters gathering together and the frequent occurrence of chaos." Gordon doesn't like to go around in circles and gives his opinion straight to the point.
The management of the assembly hall, the old dragon man who was still a little drunk, his eyes suddenly cleared.
The gaze staring at Gordon suddenly became sharp.
He noticed that Gordon was talking about "the 'source' of the storm," not "the storm."
"Mr. Gordon, do you mean the 'Tianjin Woe Land'?" The voice of the village chief lady also rang out.
The manager of the assembly hall turned his head sharply and asked in a very stern tone, "Why do you know this name?" ”
"The culprit" Anhill's face was indifferent.
He didn't think that the village chief lady would be the kind of person who was brainless and quick-talking, and seeing her like this, she should be ready to clarify her attitude with the guild personnel.
The squinting village chief lady looked a little confused, "The name of Tianjin's calamity has been spread for a long time in the land of clouds, and my mother has told me the story of Tianjin's dance style since I was a child.
Is there anything wrong with the name, and is the legend true? Mr. Management, do you know something? ”
Listening to the village chief's repeated rhetorical questions, the wrinkled face of the organizer of the assembly hall twitched.
He always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with the village chief's words.
Noticing the hesitant look of the council's management, the village chief confirmed that the guild was indeed withholding key information from her.
This made her, who has always been good-tempered, a little angry.
"Mr. Management, I understand the guild's consideration of covering up certain taboo information in order to avoid causing panic.
But the 'anomaly' has arrived.
The storm has been shrouded for half a year, monsters are rampant, and the hunters of Yuyun Village are suffering casualties almost every day, and the guild not only has no reinforcements to help, but even deliberately withholds important information from us.
Are you planning to sacrifice our Jieyun Village as a sacrifice?! ”
People who are usually mild-tempered are the most terrible when they are angry, and as the head of the guild in Jieyun Village, the management of the assembly hall is inevitably a little flustered.
He wiped his sweat and quickly explained: "Of course not, in fact, the guild has temporarily concealed the news out of some prudent considerations.
Moreover, didn't the six-star hunter Gordon and the five-star hunter Hayatta also come to support? The guild judged that Jieyun Village's current combat strength was sufficient, so it did not continue to send additional assistance. ”
Anhill, who has never had a good temper, glanced at the manager, "Gordon Hayatta was called by me in a letter to help. ”
What does that mean it has to do with you?
Management selectively ignored Anhill's taunts.
After a few seconds of silence under the forced gaze of the village chief, he raised his head and said, "I can share the information I currently have with you, but it must be kept confidential.
Historically, there have been many examples of similar information leaks, leading to widespread panic and disaster.
The current situation of Jieyun Village is not as dangerous as they think, I hope you don't break the balance. ”
The village chief nodded seriously, "Of course, I still have this weight, but I have a request, Gordon, Hayatta, Anhill, these three hunters should also know the truth."
They are the current main force of Jieyun Village, and they are not locals, and the risk of information leakage is not high. ”
Seeing the steward's hesitation, Gordon said, "We have faced Gu Long more than once, and this can be found in the guild files.
I've even faced Lanlong head-on, three years ago, in the Shurett area.
Based on these, I think we should still be more trustworthy. ”
Anhill on the side hugged his chest and nodded.
The experience of facing Gu Long had nothing to do with him, but Gordon didn't name him anyway, did he?
Another few seconds of silence.
The management of the assembly hall still compromised, he sighed, and said, "Gordon, I have read your information, and I also know that what you said about facing Lan Long is the truth.
Could it be that it is the guidance of fate? ”
Gordon and the others didn't answer, just listened quietly.
The manager of the assembly hall continued, "Let me explain first, why do you say that the situation in Jieyun Village is not as critical as you think.
Tianjin's Disaster Land, that is, Lanlong, perpetuates on the top of the Spirit Peak in the north of the Western Continent, which is a fact that the guild has long confirmed.
And since this summer, after the storm anomaly occurred, the guild had sent high-ranking hunters several times to approach Lingfeng to investigate.
The scholars of the Paleontology Scholars and the Ancient Dragon Observatory compiled the information brought back by the hunters and analyzed it, and finally came to the conclusion that:
- The anomalous storm is a self-protective 'defensive behavior' of Lanlong, rather than an 'offensive behavior' such as migration and territorial expansion. ”
"Self-preservation?"
Gordon frowned and asked, "What kind of situation would make an existence like Lan Long have the idea of 'self-protection'?" ”
The management of the assembly house replied: "Actually, there are many possibilities, injuries, molting, childbirth, etc., all are possible.
According to the hunters who reconnoitred, the originally indifferent Arashi became extremely aggressive, and they couldn't really get close at all.
After discussion, the guild leaders decided to deal with it conservatively and not to stimulate Lan Long, so that it could survive the 'self-danger period' in Lingfeng.
It's better than forcing it to run out and wreak havoc everywhere, right?
The tragedy of the capital of the moon people must not be repeated. ”
Gordon and the others looked at each other.
It turns out that this is the case, so it makes sense for the guild to conceal information.
The hunters in Jieyun Village, and even in the northern part of the entire Western Continent, have lost many of their friends and relatives in the changes in recent months.
Just think about it.
A certain hunter who was carried away by hatred, after learning of Lan Long's existence, rushed to Lingfeng regardless of it.
Not to mention whether it can pose a threat to Lan Long, in case it provokes that person, it will leave the Spirit Peak in a rage and attack the human settlement.
Such a loss, I dare not imagine.
In contrast, the inconvenience of storms continuing to block the northern seas and blocking shipping lanes seems to be irrelevant.
"I see, I understand, Mr. Management, I apologize for my previous attitude."
The village chief stood up, folded her hands, and bowed.
"But I still have a question, since the storm is Lan Long's act of self-preservation, why are the monsters in the stream region and even the entire northern part of the Western Continent so chaotic?"
Gordon raised his hand at this point, "This is back to the original theme of this meeting.
I mentioned earlier that Lan Long and the storm caused by Lan Long should not be the direct cause of the monster chaos. ”
The village chief and the manager of the assembly hall looked at him in unison.
"Why?" The management of the assembly hall is questioned.
This is a question that the guild has been trying to figure out.
"Originally, I thought it was the aura of the Lan Dragon that stimulated the monsters, but after actually coming to Yuyun Village, I found out that this was not the case.
The Ailu are very sensitive to breath and are no less than any monster, as my hunting cat companion Pigcho told me.
It didn't feel any so-called 'coercion or threat from the ancient dragons'.
You know, the pork chop has confronted Lanlong with me, and its judgment is very credible. ”
(There is also a chapter in the evening.)
Ps.
The P3 plot is about to officially begin.,I'll adapt and expand it within a reasonable range.,After all, a lot of things in the original plot are just two simple sentences.,It's too obscure.。
There is also a question about the strength of the head of Jieyun Village, which is mentioned by a reader, and it is said that there are NPCs in X who mention that she is actually very strong? (I might have skipped the plot?) )
All in all, in this book, the village chief is not a hunter, and he has no special hidden identity, otherwise he would be too disdainful to watch the hunters in the village work hard, and drink tea at the entrance of the village every day.
But she has a lot of knowledge about hunters, and the experience of traveling around, which is confirmed, as written in the canon.
