Chapter 339 Lanlong’s self-protective behavior
A week later, Gordon and Hayata returned to Jieyun Village.
The two of them brought back a lot of fire dragon materials, including the mission target female fire dragon and the male fire dragon.
It can be said that they returned home with a full load, but their faces were not pretty.
He didn’t even go to the counter to hand in the task, so he called An Xil directly, and then the head of Jieyun Village and the manager of Jieyun Assembly Hall, an old dragon man who loved drinking.
The five people met for a meeting.
"The 'source' of the storm should not be the direct cause of the gathering of monsters and frequent chaos." Gordon didn't like to beat around the bush and gave his opinion straight to the point.
The eyes of the old dragon man who was still a little drunk in the meeting hall suddenly became clear.
The eyes staring at Gordon suddenly became sharp.
He noted that Gordon spoke of "the 'source' of the storm" rather than "the storm".
“Mr. Gordon, are you referring to the ‘Tianjin Disaster’?” The village chief’s lady’s voice also sounded.
The assembly manager suddenly turned his head and asked in a very stern tone: "Why do you know this name?"
The "culprit" Anhir had a calm expression on his face.
He didn't think that the village chief's lady would be the kind of person who was brainless and quick-tongued. Looking at her like this, she was probably ready to clarify her attitude with the guild members.
The squinting village chief's lady looked a little confused, "The name Tianjin is a bad land has been spread in the land of Jieyun for a long time. My mother has told me the story of Tianjin Dance Style since I was a child.
Is there anything wrong with this name? Is the legend true? Mr. Management, do you know something? "
Listening to the village chief's lady's repeated questions, the wrinkled face of the assembly manager twitched.
He always felt that something was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with the village chief's remarks.
Noticing the hesitant and confused look of the assembly manager, the village chief confirmed that the guild had indeed concealed key information from her.
This made her, who had 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 ‘abnormality’ has arrived.
The storm has been lingering for half a year, monsters are rampant, and hunters in Yuyun Village are suffering casualties almost every day. Not only does the guild fail to send reinforcements and provide help, it even deliberately conceals important information from us.
Are you planning to sacrifice our Jieyun Village as a sacrifice? ! "
People who are usually mild-tempered are the most terrifying when they are angry. As the head of the guild in Jieyun Village, the management of the assembly can not help but be a little panicked.
He wiped his sweat and quickly explained: "Of course not. In fact, the guild temporarily concealed the news out of some cautious considerations.
Moreover, haven't six-star hunter Gordon and five-star hunter Hayata also come to support? The guild determined that the current combat strength of Jieyun Village was sufficient, so it did not continue to send additional aid. "
Anhil, who never had a good temper, glanced sideways at the manager and said, "Gordon Hayata was the one I wrote to ask him to come over to help."
What does the implication have to do with you?
Management selectively ignored Ancil’s sarcasm.
After being silent for a few seconds under the village chief's gaze, he raised his head and said, "I can share the information I currently have with you, but it must be kept confidential.
Historically, there are many examples of similar information leaks leading to wider panic and disasters.
The current situation in Jieyun Village is actually not as dangerous as you think. I hope you will not disturb the balance. "
The village chief lady nodded seriously, "Of course, I still understand the importance of this, but I have a request. Gordon, Hayata, and Anhir, these three hunters should also know the truth.
They are the current main force in Jieyun Village, and they are not locals, so the risk of information leakage is not high. "
Seeing the hesitation on the management's face, Gordon said: "We have had the experience of facing ancient dragons more than once, which can be found in the guild files.
I even faced Lan Long head-on, three years ago, in the Xiuret area.
Taken together, I think we should be relatively trustworthy. "
Anhil on the side crossed his arms and nodded.
The experience of facing Gu Long had nothing to do with him, but Gordon didn’t name him anyway, right?
There was silence for a few more seconds.
Could it be said that it is the guidance of fate? "
Gordon and others did not answer, just listened quietly.
The assembly manager continued: "Let me first explain why the situation in Jieyun Village is actually not as critical as you think.
Tianjin Disaster, also known as Lanlong, lives at the top of the Lingfeng Peak in the north of the Western Continent all year round. This is a fact that the Guild has long confirmed.
Since this summer, after the abnormal storm occurred, the guild has sent high-level hunters several times to approach Lingfeng to investigate.
The Paleontology Scribes Team and the scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau compiled the information brought back by the hunters and analyzed it, and finally came to the conclusion.
—Abnormal storms are self-protective ‘defensive behaviors’ of the Lanlong, rather than ‘offensive behaviors’ such as migration and territory expansion. "
“Self-protection?”
Gordon frowned and asked: "What kind of situation would make a being like Lan Long have the idea of 'self-protection'?"
The assembly center management replied: “Actually, there are many possibilities, including injury, molting, childbirth, etc., all are possible.
According to reports from the scouts, the originally indifferent Lanlong became extremely aggressive and they could not really get close to it.
After discussion, the guild’s senior management decided to handle the situation conservatively and not to irritate Lanlong, allowing him to survive the ‘period of self-danger’ in Lingfeng safely.
It's better than forcing it to escape and wreak havoc everywhere, right?
The tragedy in the Moon Capital must never happen again. "
Gordon and the others looked at each other.
So that’s the case, then the guild’s practice of concealing information makes sense.
Hunters in Jieyun Village, and even the entire northern part of the Western Continent, have lost many of their partners, relatives, and friends in the sudden changes in recent months.
Just imagine.
A hunter who was blinded by hatred, after learning about the existence of Lanlong, rushed to the Spiritual Peak regardless.
Not to mention whether it can pose a threat to Lan Long, if he is stimulated, he will leave the spiritual peak in anger and attack human settlements.
Such a loss is unimaginable.
Comparatively, the inconveniences caused by storms that continue to block the northern seas, block shipping lanes, and affect tourism seem to be inconsequential.
“That’s it, I understand, Mr. Management, I apologize for my previous attitude.”
The village chief’s lady stood up, folded her hands, and bowed.
"But I still have a question. Since the storm is an act of self-preservation by Lan Long, why are the monsters in the stream area and even the entire northern part of the Western Continent so chaotic?"
Gordon raised his hand at this time and said, "This goes back to the original theme of this meeting.
I just mentioned that the mist dragon and the storm caused by the mist dragon should not be the direct cause of the monster chaos. "
The village chief and the assembly hall manager looked at him together.
“What’s the reason?” the assembly manager asked.
This is an issue that the Guild has been trying to figure out.
“Originally, I thought it was the aura of Lan Long that stimulated the monsters, but when I actually came to Yuyun Village, I found that this was not the case.
The Ellu family is very keen in sensing breath, and is not inferior to all kinds of monsters, and my hunting cat partner Pig Chop told me.
It did not feel any so-called "pressure and threat from the ancient dragon".
You should know that Pork Chop faced Lan Long directly with me, and his judgment is very reliable. "
(There are still chapters in the evening
ˆPs.
The plot of p3 is about to officially begin. I will adapt and expand it within a reasonable range. After all, many things in the original plot are just two simple sentences, which are too obscure.
There is also a question about the strength of the village chief of Jieyun Village that some readers mentioned. It is said that an NPC in x mentioned that she is actually very strong? (Maybe I skipped the plot?)
In short, in this book, the village chief is not a hunter, and he has nothing special to hide his identity. Otherwise, it would be too disdainful for him to watch the hunters in the village working hard and drink tea every day at the entrance of the village.
But it is confirmed that she has considerable hunter-related knowledge and experience in traveling, as it is written in the setting book.
