Chapter 894: An Invitation from the New World
After completing a rendezvous with Ayata and Anhil, who were hiding nearby, they returned to the camp.
Gordon poured himself two bottles of healing potion first, then took out a piece of food and chewed it.
After swallowing the food quickly, Gordon patted the crumbs on his hands, smiled and said, "This is the end of the special training, no need to come again." β
Anhill and Hayatta glanced at him.
Pork chop pandan stepped around him several times, only the innocent gale licked him.
Gordon had no choice but to bear it while begging for mercy.
Practicing in one go has almost become a knot in his heart, and he has been really a little stunned in the past six or seven months.
The first two months were nothing, and the big wild boar and the big monster bird didn't mention anything, even if they practiced with the dragon, with the strength of a few of them, the risk was not too great.
But after changing the target to Demon Demon, everything is different.
The difficulty is not at all a level, which one of the mistakes in the battle is a little bigger, the rescue of the companions is a little less timely, and it is normal to die on the spot.
You call this a practice?!
They discussed and argued with Gordon, but in the end they found that they couldn't change Gordon's mind, and after this guy continued to challenge the demon even if he was alone, he could only silently choose to support.
Feng Ying was temporarily sent back to Flame Village by them.
Not wanting her to take risks is one thing, after all, she is a shield, and it is possible to give herself away in order to save people.
What's more, Feng Ying is in the period when her strength is growing the fastest, and it is a waste of time to follow Gordon as a guard.
It's better to let her go back first and continue to practice insect skills while competing with the flames to make progress.
As for the two of them, they consider themselves unlucky.
Gordon, who finally practiced it in one go and untied the knot in his heart, sincerely apologized.
But this breath is not so easy.
Hayatta tugged at Gordon's ear, and said angrily: "It's not that you won't be allowed to practice, you see what you practiced with the dragon before, did we say anything?"
You must find a monster like the Demon that can kill you as a sparring partner, right? Don't take your own life seriously, do you? β
Anhill wouldn't bother like Halfata, but his cold eyes gave Gordon even more headaches.
If you want to make these two emotions better, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.
Hop aboard a small airboat and head back to the village of Bernard.
Gordon first compiled a new concept of "one go" into a book and sent it to the lead researcher.
In the past six months, due to his personal reasons, the entire team of Yinbian has done almost nothing, and has just spent time with demons.
In this kind of "dry meal" situation, the chief researcher still provided a lot of support, including intelligence, mission permits, transportation, fooling guilds, etc., and this love still has to be accepted.
Saying goodbye to the delighted head researcher, the three of them went to the tavern on the dragon ship again.
Although the mysterious proprietress pointed at Gordon's nose and scolded him several times, she also provided them with a lot of information about the battle of the demons.
In more than a dozen battles in the past six months, this information has played a very crucial role.
Naturally, I also have to come to the door to thank you.
Then, they were knocked hard by the proprietress and bought a lot of bottles of wine at a frightening price.
Of course, it was Gordon who paid for it alone.
Hayatta poured tons and tons, but Gordon was reluctant to take a big sip, and just as he was distressed to taste these sour high-priced wines, a figure walked into the tavern.
Wearing funny little sunglasses, a bald bartender who kept wiping his glass was visibly stunned when he saw the man.
The proprietress also unfolded a gorgeous small fan to hide the surprise at the corner of her mouth, "Why are you here, our family still thinks you died in the New World." β
Gordon, too, looked at the comer curiously.
An acquaintance of the proprietress ?
It was a thin Dragonman man, who looked to be in his forties by the standards of human appearance, but with the lifespan of the Dragonmen, he should be at least seventy or eighty.
His skin was dark, a rough tan of the wind and sun, and his long hair was tied into dirty braids and tied in a simple ponytail.
The bug stick behind him proves his identity as a hunter, a less common draconian hunter.
The dragon hunter nodded at the proprietress and the bartender, as if he had said hello, "I'm here to find someone." β
Then, under Gordon's bewildered gaze, he came to their table and sat down.
"To briefly introduce myself, I am Mecca i Azzi Arafat, from the first phase of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Group."
Gordon's first reaction was that the name was strangely long, and it reminded him of President Van Yuan of Minagarde.
But then he heard something more crucial.
"New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Group?!"
The average person knows very little about the New World.
More than half a century ago, with the development of human navigation technology, adventurers discovered a new continent thousands of miles away on the other side of the ocean.
The New World has natural resources, biological populations, and ecological environments that are completely different from those of the Old World, but because of the distance and vague information, it seems very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.
Even if Gordon and the other high-ranking hunters knew better, it was limited to every ten years, and many organizations such as the Hunters' Guild and the Ancient Dragon Observatory would jointly form a "New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Group" to launch an expedition against the New World.
The specifics are not clear.
The fourth group set off about six years ago, that is to say, the dragon hunter in front of him was the first batch of elites who went to the New World nearly fifty years ago.
Thinking about this, the three of them were suddenly in awe.
After each of them briefly introduced themselves, Gordon poured a glass of wine for the dragonman hunter, and then asked: "Senior Mecca, may I ask if you mean us by 'looking for people'?" β
"Hmm."
The Dragonman Hunter nodded very dryly, "Truth be told, I've been watching you for quite some time, especially you, Gordon, for your impressive battle with the Demons. β
"Uh," Gordon didn't know what to say for a moment.
Anhill frowned slightly, he didn't say anything, but the Dragonman hunter keenly noticed the change in his expression.
He bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to investigate anything about you, and I didn't have the purpose of probing your privacy.
Just to confirm your strength with your own eyes. β
Hearing this from afar, the proprietress in heavy makeup and dressed up walked around from behind the counter, walked quickly to their table, pulled up a chair and sat down.
Without the usual feeling of Tingting, she seems to be a little resolute at this time.
"You want to pull them into the fifth group? Their strength is enough, it is better to say that they are a little over-standard, but it will be four or five years before the departure of the fifth group, isn't it too early to start inviting them now? β
The Dragonman Hunter was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don't like going around in circles, so I'll just say it."
It's not about the fifth mission, but it's pretty much the same, and for some reason we want to form a 'special investigation team' ahead of the fifth mission.
The expedition will be composed mainly of elite hunters, and as a supplement to the fourth phase of the regiment, it will set off for the New World by ship at the end of this year, that is, nearly two months later.
Actually, I came to the Old World more than half a year ago, and during this time, I have been promoting this time.
At present, many preparations such as supplies, ships, and auxiliary personnel have basically been completed, and only the hunter as the core has not yet been determined.
With the approval of the Grand Elder, I was allowed to invite ten hunters to join the Special Investigation Team, provided of course with the consent of the parties themselves. β
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked deeply at the three of Gordon, and continued: "Telling the truth is the foundation of trust, so I won't hide it, and I will add one point.
As I said earlier, the Special Investigation Team exists as a 'combat power supplement', and it is almost certain that there will be a head-on confrontation with the Ancient Dragons in the subsequent investigations.
As such, we will prioritize teams of high-ranking hunters who have had many battles with ancient dragon creatures.
After a long period of screening and understanding, we have several targets to be invited.
Your Yinbian Hunting Group is the team we are most looking forward to and most optimistic about. β
Anhill chuckled, "Sounds like a clichΓ©. β
The Dragonman Hunter's expression was very serious, "No, it's the truth. β
Ps.
Why can't you give NPCs a name like MHR! Why!
Most of the time, I still use the way of "dragon hunter" and "material squad leader", but there are some places that can't be bypassed, and some names that don't have a strong sense of disobedience.
