Two days after returning to Bernard Village, Gordon and Anhill received a summons letter from the headquarters of the Hunters' Guild in East Doruma.

I thought it was another combat mission assigned, but it wasn't until after reading the contents of the letter that the two of them knew that this time they called the guild for their only purpose.

】

Is it a question......

There were not only the two of them, but also the chief researcher of the Dragon Calendar Academy, several paleontologists, the head of the archaeological team, Ms. Duda, and several members of the archaeological team.

Obviously, the guild headquarters took the information of the mysterious monster they encountered this time extremely seriously.

It is not enough to sort out the detailed information and send it to the person, but also the person concerned must be present in person to inquire about it.

Actually, it can be understood.

There are too many things on the mysterious monster that can make the guild leaders feel jealous, and just looking at the words and pictures on the paper, it always feels unreal.

In the pursuit of efficiency, the lead researcher also deliberately arranged for high-speed airboats, which made the journey to Doruma East lacklure.

The whole journey can be roughly summarized as going to the skyboat, watching the sky for a while, sleeping, and then watching the clouds for a while, and arriving at the ......

"There's always a feeling of 'how did you get here again?'" Gordon muttered as he stepped off the airboat pad.

"I feel meow too."

"By the way, is it really necessary to call Gale by name? It doesn't speak. Gordon looked at the gale, which was suffocating on the airship, and was scattering the gale, and felt that the little one was a little pitiful.

It's a fact that Anhill doesn't like to ride in a bumpy minecart, and Gale doesn't like to stay in the cramped cabin of a bareboat.

"I don't know, maybe it's some special purpose." Anhill shrugged.

The group didn't go anywhere after getting off the airboat, and the guild staff who were already waiting by the airboat apron led them directly to the Great Old Hall.

In the hall, which is not exquisite and gorgeous, but it is majestic enough, many people are already waiting here.

Gordon, who walked into the main hall, quickly swept his gaze over these people, and found that most of them were scholars, and in terms of uniform style, Wang Li paleontology scrivener team, Gulong Observation Bureau, and Dragon Calendar Academy all had people.

There are also a small number of people whose uniforms Gordon does not recognize, and may be from certain subdivisions.

Hey, and acquaintances?

Gordon raised his hand at the old professor, who had a considerable degree of fate with him, as a greeting.

The other party also nodded lightly.

"I've finally waited for you."

The Great Elder's voice rumbled, "The report from the archaeological team of the ancient ruins, you have been studying it for several days, and now the person concerned is also here, the old man doesn't want to talk nonsense, and the inquiry meeting has officially begun." ”

Many scholars raised their hands, stood up in a hurry, and opened their mouths directly in a more anxious manner.

"Is there a sample! Are there biological samples? ”

"Is there any more specific size data information about the mysterious monster described in the report?!"

"Among the regular large monsters, the body size can only barely be regarded as a middle-to-lower existence, can it really independently manipulate a mechanical behemoth the size of a super giant ancient dragon?

No offense, but is it possible that there are multiple creatures of the same kind that cooperate with the operation? ”

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, cooperate with each other to operate the operation of mechanical behemoths? It's hard for a professionally trained human to do this kind of thing, let alone a monster! ”

"Why do you think that monsters must have lower IQs and learning abilities than humans?"

“...”

“...”

It was still just a question-only session, and before Gordon and the other parties had time to answer, the scholars who asked the questions had already quarreled with each other.

"Silence!"

The Great Elder, who was so troubled by the noise, slashed the old knife, he pointed to the guild director, and asked the latter to act as the host and organize the inquiry.

The inquiry meeting finally became orderly.

Regarding the biological tissue specimens of the golden beetle, as well as the samples of those insect silks, the paleontological researchers of the Longli Academy have been studying them for several days, and now they are publishing the research report, and the samples are also taken out to share.

The paleontology scholars and scholars from the Gulong Observatory immediately asked someone to bring some instruments and reagents to carry out experiments on the spot, and the professor Gordon was also one of them.

A group of old men and women made a mess in the hall.

Fortunately, the Great Elder didn't care about any of this.

Inquiries are also being held in parallel.

Gordon finally knew what the scholars were calling for the Gale Wind.

They also specially made a few solid wood monster skin targets for the gale to gnaw, let the pig chops catch, and let themselves and Anhill attack with weapons.

It should be hoped that through comparison, the toughness of the carapace of the mysterious monster will be roughly confirmed.

The inquiry went on in a chaotic manner for most of the day.

The guild staff had to bring bread and other convenient foods in case these precious old scholars could not eat it.

What followed was a more chaotic part of the debate.

From this point on, Gordon and the two of them, a cat and a dog, were not very involved.

Even Anhill, who was the most knowledgeable of them, did not even reach the level of a student in front of these true scholars.

The sharp-eyed pork chop also found something interesting.

The Great Elder, who had always sat upright on the stone platform, lowered his eyebrows as always, and his long snow-white eyebrows covered his eyes, making it difficult for people to notice.

He had already dozed off.

The meeting lasted from day to night, and the scholars finally reached a relatively unanimous opinion on some of the contents.

I don't know if I haven't slept too deeply, or if I have been sitting upright in that position for hundreds of years, and I have practiced this kind of "stunt".

The Great Elder woke up without any surprise, his tone was still calm, "Everyone, tell me what you have come to conclusions, you know what the old man cares about. ”

"Great Elder."

The professor, who had finally been chosen as the concluding speaker, stepped forward with a hoarse voice, apparently not less precedent, "First of all, about this taxonomy.

More than two-thirds of scholars believe that this mysterious monster should not be counted as an ancient dragon.

Even though it is even stronger than many ancient dragon monsters when it controls the giant machine, it has very obvious beetle creatures.

Judging from the fact that Hunter Gordon did not trigger at all when he used a dragon attribute weapon to attack, he should not contain dragon attribute energy in his body, so we identified him as a beetle species. ”

"Hmmm......"

The Great Elder patiently replied.

From his point of view, the only two valuable parts of this large passage summarized by the professor are "having a very strong strength compared to the ancient dragon species" and "not a weak dragon".

The professor continued the presentation, which in the opinion of scholars was concise enough.

"Considering its special ability to collect and manipulate ruins to form a 'mechanical market', and its role as the 'core' of the market, it can also be understood as the ...... of the 'power' and 'spirit' of the market."

"Getting to the point!"

"Ahem, our scientific name is 'Adola Lu Ka', which means 'spirit that manipulates the ruins'......"

"Isn't there a name that's easier to understand and more memorable?" The Grand Elder interrupted the professor again.

The professor turned around, exchanged views with several old scholars, and finally turned around and said:

"Pavilion Mantis."
