Chapter 1167: Nine Stars
"Last night, the King of the Odd-Faced Clan visited the Star Stronghold." Seeing that the personnel were almost there, the commander-in-chief folded his arms and began the meeting.
The scale of this meeting was not large, the personnel were mainly scholars, and the material squad leader who could not be bypassed in large-scale operations did not appear, which means that the commander-in-chief did not intend to start the war.
Anhill's gaze swept over the podium, and he had a rough judgment of the commander-in-chief's thoughts.
"This was an ordinary visit, but it led to the whereabouts of a certain ancient dragon." The Commander-in-Chief looked at Anhill and Gail. "More specifically, let's talk about it from the parties."
Anhill sorted out her words and talked about what had happened last night, and Gail added as she added.
Scholars were amazed by Gail's relationship with the Odd-Face Clan, carefully judging the information about the Dragon's presence and speculating about the possible reasons behind it.
But there are also those who focus in a different direction entirely.
Feng Ying looked at the golden mask placed on the table by Anhill, her eyes were about to pop out, and the reflections under her eyes were the color of gold.
A giant ancient dragon clad in gold?! Wow!
Just as Anhill spoke the king's admonition, a figure trotted into the headquarters.
It's Gordon.
"Sorry, it's late." His expression was a little dazed, and he didn't sleep well last night.
The commander-in-chief didn't care, raised his palm, and motioned for Anhill to continue.
Anhill first took a closer look at Gordon's expression.
Excited, excited, restless, panicked, overwhelmed. Well, it's complicated.
Anhill had an "interesting" smile on his face, and he wanted to tease Gordon now, but unfortunately it wasn't the time.
Clearing her throat and gathering her thoughts, Anhill continued her previous story.
Gordon whispered to Fengying about the meeting he had missed.
Feng Ying briefly summarized around the focus of her attention, "The king of the Strange Face Clan came last night, and he brought a golden mask, and that mask seems to have nothing to do with the Brilliant Dragon?"
I heard that it was a kind of ancient dragon covered in gold! β
"Radiant Dragon?"
Although it was only a glimpse of a few years ago, Gordon's impression of this ancient dragon was extremely deep.
The golden priest who leads the Strange Face Clan of the Great Ant Mound, the legend of the Golden Village, the name of the mother goddess, the surge of leyline energy, the mysterious golden piece, the sacrifice of the Strange Face Clan, and the homecoming of the wanderer
Everything back then is still vivid.
However, at this time, Gordon's mind was full of other things, which made his current thinking very simple and linear.
"So it's a crusade? When to go? β
He forgot to keep his voice down, and everyone at the command table looked at him in unison.
"The leader of the investigation squad is far from that step." The commander-in-chief reminded helplessly.
"I'm sorry." Gordon laughed dryly and shut up.
He just wanted to hurry home from the meeting.
In the rest of the meeting, Gordon was always absent-minded, but fortunately he was also self-aware, just like a statue, and did not speak indiscriminately.
After the meeting, let Feng Ying and Anhill summarize the key points of the meeting for herself.
The opinions of scholars are unanimous.
The Radiant Dragon is a giant ancient dragon that inhabits the depths of the earth's leylines, and humans have very limited knowledge of it.
If it is true that as the king of the Strange Face Clan said, the Radiant Dragon bears the responsibility of dredging the leylines, then its importance to the energy circulation of the leylines of the entire New World will not be even less than that of the Corpse Dragon.
A crusade is impossible.
The other party is an important part of the ecology of the New World, and there is no threat to the investigation team. Do you want to get the golden horn back to decorate the faΓ§ade?
However, targeted investigations are certainly indispensable.
Judging from the records of the past two appearances, the appearance of the Radiant Dragon corresponds to some huge changes in the ability of the leylines.
This is most likely related to the death of the Dark Lantern Dragon, and there may be other hidden secrets?
Moreover, following in the footsteps of the Brilliant Dragon, there may be a chance to enter the depths of the earth's leylines and further uncover the mystery of the energy cycle in the New World.
Does the legendary Golden Country have its own unique ecosystem?
These are the real concerns of the Mission.
At the end of the meeting, the commander-in-chief gave instructions.
- Search for the scattered pieces of gold, confirm the whereabouts of the Radiant Dragon, and if you have the chance, investigate as deeply as you can without angering them.
This order is very broad and does not specify a specific investigator, which can basically be understood as a long-term free investigative mission.
Feng Ying was eager to try and couldn't wait to set off immediately.
Gold! I'm going to find gold! I'm going to look for the gold scattered in the wilderness right now!
Gordon, on the other hand, had the opposite attitude, lacking interest.
If he could, he didn't want to take on any tasks lately, unless it was the kind of urgent assignment that couldn't be pushed off.
The sharp-eyed commander-in-chief naturally saw the anomaly of his number one combat power in the investigation team.
After the meeting, he stopped Gordon, who turned around and wanted to leave, intending to ask if there were any difficulties, and the investigation team could help find a way to solve them.
Gordon looked a little hesitant, and before he could think of how to speak, Gale leaned over and said to the commander-in-chief with a grin:
"Hayatta is pregnant!"
"Huh?!"
Feng Ying, who was already preparing to sneak away and run away, immediately turned back, "It's really fake!" Is Sister Hayatta at home? I'm going to see her! β
The gold and the like were left behind by her, and she ran away first.
The commander-in-chief also raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a sudden and eccentric joy peculiar to the elderly.
"No wonder, how long?"
Gordon smirked and scratched the back of his head, "I only found out yesterday, I looked at the doctor, and it was about two months?" β
"Well, it looks like it won't be long before we're going to have another new population to our team." The Commander-in-Chief smiled and patted Gordon on the shoulder.
"The Dark Lantern Dragon incident is over, it's been very peaceful recently, and the investigation of the Brilliant Dragon is not urgent, just leave it to someone else.
During this time, we will try not to assign you tasks, so let's accompany Hayatta well.
If you need anything, feel free to tell us, now that the transportation routes with the Old Continent have also been opened, and many things can be purchased and transported from the Old Continent without being here. β
Gordon hurriedly thanked him, and the commander-in-chief waved his hand, "By the way, there is another matter, although the official report has not yet come down, it has been finalized, so I will tell you in advance." β
"You say?"
The Commander-in-Chief smiled, "Not long ago, a document from the Old Continent Guild Headquarters mentioned that the guild's higher-ups planned to promote you to a Nine-Star Hunter.
With your track record and previous experience of slaying the dragon alone and successfully hunting it, there will be no resistance to this promotion.
However, the Nine-Star Hunter is different from the Seven-Star Eight-Star Hunter, which has a special symbolic meaning, and the process will be more complicated.
Coupled with the long distance between the old and new continents, it is estimated that it will take some time for the real promotion documents to arrive.
So, congratulations in advance Gordon, you've truly reached the pinnacle of the Hunter and deserve to be called the 'Master'. β
Gordon was stunned for two seconds and nodded.
"Thank you."
"Really, be happier!" The Commander-in-Chief smiled, patted Gordon on the shoulder again, and turned away briskly.
It can be seen that he is in a pretty good mood.
Anhill and Gayle on the side also congratulated him.
Gordon scratched his chin, "Are the Nine Star Hunters the same as Master and Master Fuxian?" Why do you always feel that your heart is not so excited? β
Anhill laughed.
"Because you've been excited all night because of something else."
Ps.
The part of the Brilliant Dragon is going to be written as biased towards multiple people to investigate and find (steal) treasures, and there will not be many battles, after all, the rich woman stays well underground, and it is not like the migration of the old mountain dragon that will destroy the city, and there is no reason to go to the Karma people's house.
This is a process that can be reasonably time-jumped, similar to digging talismans and mining stone weapons.
Don't worry about Hayatta Gordon's drop-off problem, with the blackness of Fengying's face, when something good is dug up, Hayata's postpartum recovery is almost over
