742. Expedition
The research base made of the downed hot air balloon ship of the third phase of the regiment is very different from the rough construction of a group of big bosses in the star base.
The overall style is quiet and efficient.
The dim but sufficient lighting, the piles of books, alchemical cauldrons, and surveying instruments everywhere make this place more like a small library for comfort and comfort than the dangerous New World Investigation Mission.
And at the top of this small library, there is the exclusive 'reading seat' for the head of the third phase of the group.
The leader of the third phase of the regiment is a woman who is not very old in the dragon race, so she still retains a slender physique.
The signature pointed ears are in an oriental-style bun and a robe.
Holding a cigarette stick in his hand, he took a puff while holding a book, looking cozy and leisurely.
"Yo, Grand Master! It's been a long time, and it's rare that you can return to the human life circle from the wild. ”
In the first sentence of the meeting, the head of the third phase of the regiment teased.
But the serious expression of the Grand Master who walked in front of Lan En quickly made the head of the third phase of the regiment realize that something was wrong.
"It's nothing for me to return to the human life circle, but now in the land coral plateau, ancient dragons, golden lions, and otherworldly creatures are fighting one after another. It's really rare that you guys can still read books in a good way. ”
The head of the third phase did not refute anything, but seemed to have finally confirmed the news.
"'Repeatedly'?" Her eyeshadow eyes lit up suddenly.
"Sure enough! I feel that the nearest land coral plateau, as well as the area below, is not calm! ”
"It's a pity that we don't have any outstanding hunters here, just a group of weak scholars running a research station that can only be used by a small number of people, and they can't send the combat power to investigate specifically, so they can only speculate from the side of small animals or environmental changes."
"You're in luck, then." Grand Master sighed, "In the great changes in the ecological environment, it has not been affected at all. ”
"It's too early to say 'not affected.'"
Lan stepped out from behind the Grand Master and chimed in.
"I take the liberty of asking, in this research base, are there any people who have survived the encounter with Lu Shoujing after going out recently?"
As he spoke, Lan En pulled out a portrait of a deer head that he had drawn.
Thanks to his artistic talent and knowledge of [Memory Deep Dive], although Lan En has never worked this, he can still highlight the biological characteristics of the deer head spirit with a few strokes, ensuring that he will not be mistaken.
The leader of the third phase put on his nose clip glasses and looked at Lan En first.
"Who is this?"
The Grand Master acts as an intermediary and introduces Lan to her.
The huge amount of information and complex identity made the well-informed head of the third phase of the regiment a little confused.
But fortunately, she seems to be a rough nerve, and quickly accepted the new settings of 'Otherworldly' and 'Demon Hunter'.
And according to Lan's instructions, he began to recall.
"Someone who has been out lately. Troublesome. Although we are scholars, we still often go out to catch small animals and investigate the environment. ”
"It's mainly people who have met with the deer head, or who were suddenly attacked and fainted in the wild, but woke up without being fine."
Lan En made a professional supplementary explanation on the side.
"Even the magic of the deer head spirit must have physical contact with the person who has been cursed."
"Then let's take a look."
The head of the third phase of the regiment said simply.
"We've studied a lot of ecosystems and unique creatures, but this is the first time we've done magic. If you're an expert, follow yours. ”
At the order of the regimental commander, the people of the research base rushed over and asked Lan to check if he had been cursed.
The number of these people is not large, and most of them are old men and women of the dragon clan.
Lan En quickly finished the inspection, but there was still no trace of being cursed by the deer head.
These people were quite disappointed after hearing this, and they all looked like they were looking forward to experiencing the cursed feeling.
It can only be said that the people who can come to the New World Investigation Team are basically people who put their life pursuits above their life safety.
But just when Lan En and the Grand Master were frowning, feeling that the progress of the investigation was gone, an old woman of the Dragonman Clan, who had gray hair coiled around her head and was leisurely, interjected.
"Huh? Light for us to check? The Ailu cats need it too, right? And the kittens of the expedition, there are still several cats and cats who have not returned from the expedition. ”
Cats who came to the New World with hunters have been in this land for decades.
After all, the commander-in-chief's grandsons are so old, so they are also branching out.
Some of the Elu cats, who did not find a partner because of the scarcity of hunters, but had the spirit of adventure and fighting spirit, spontaneously formed an expedition team and went to the New World to explore and discover.
And in this process, because of the relationship between the same orc race, some local cats, the Detel tribe, even have no cat appearance, but are similar in size.
Because of various coincidences, or friendship and friendship, an expedition team was formed with the Ailu cats. Embark on a fun adventure.
These teams are collectively known as the Cat Expedition.
And because this research base is currently at the forefront of human footprints in the New World, many cat expeditions will rest and register here.
The old woman was the manager in charge of registering the expedition's harvest and tasks. Sometimes, when a new hunter appears, she will try to match the cats with the cats, so that the hunter and the Elu cat can be paired up to become a more professional retinue cat.
The old woman muttered a few words in a low voice, like a flash of light that crossed Lan En's mind.
Elu Cat!
That's right, the hunters' Ailu cats, and the indigenous orcs of the New World, the Odd-Faced and Detr tribes!
These are intelligent creatures, too!
It was like opening a blind spot in thinking, and the words of the old woman of the dragon people woke up Lan En.
Deer-headed spirits generally choose intelligent creatures as the target of their curses, because intelligent creatures can take better care of their lives than wild animals.
The curse of the deer head spirit also requires energy and magic power, and the unprovoked death of the cursed creature is also a very heavy loss for it.
And in this world, the category of intelligent creatures includes not only hairless dragons and humans, but also fluffy cats!
"Excuse me!"
Lan En walked up to the old lady of the Dragonman who was muttering in a low voice, crouched down and asked seriously.
"Where are the Cat Expeditions now? Or where are their lounges? I'm going to check them out, too. ”
"Huh? Can I pass the goods inspection in the lounge? That's great! ”
The old woman nodded happily and led Lan En out of the crowd.
"The rest room of the Cat Expedition is on the lower floor of the ship, and the little ones will clean it very carefully before leaving, it is very clean and tidy."
