Chapter 37 Amos
Ms. President did not stay in her office. Yamos inquired with the staff who were passing by, and then found her on the terrace on the second floor of the assembly hall.
“President.”
Helding a slender pipe in her palm, the president of the Dragon Tribe, who was silently gazing at the northern sky, turned around. She found that the face of the visitor was not very good-looking.
“It’s Amos, what’s the matter?”
"President, Xia Zuo came back last night. He was seriously injured and asked me to give this to you before he fell into coma." Yamos took out a small roll of parchment and handed it to the president.
The president's expression suddenly became serious. She put down her pipe, unfolded the parchment, read the intelligence information recorded on it, and asked about Xia Zuo's situation.
“Is Xia Zuo seriously injured?”
“The external injuries are not bad, but the problem is that he inhaled the poisonous mist of Xialong. The toxin of Gulong cannot be cured by ordinary antidotes.”
At this point, Yamos seemed a little hesitant, but he finally asked his question: "President, I shouldn't say anything, but I still want to know why Xia Zuo went to deal with Xia Long alone.
That's an ancient dragon!
Although Xia Zuo is the best dual sword user in our Minagard Assembly and an eight-star hunter, no matter how strong a hunter is, there is no guarantee that he can fight against the ancient dragon alone and survive. That would be too dangerous! "
Facing the obviously agitated Yamos, the president lady sighed softly, "How could I send someone to hunt the ancient dragon?
It was the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau that sent a request for assistance. They lost the trace of the Xialong in the depths of East Xiuret. Perhaps influenced by the ‘thing’ in the ruins of the ancient city of Xiuret, the Xialong may be migrating westward.
You also know that Xia Long has the ability to become invisible. It is impossible to locate Xia Long with the hot air balloon of the Gulong Observation Bureau alone, so I sent Xia Zuo to go deep into Xiuretson Hill to investigate Xia Long's location.
I should have been more cautious. If I had sent a team of high-ranking hunters at that time, even if they encountered Xia Long, they would have been able to evacuate safely under mutual cover. "
Hearing the president's explanation, Yamos looked better.
As long as the hunters are not specially sent to "send death", those ancient dragons cannot be solved by just one or two hunters.
They are walking natural disasters. Just the action itself may cause large-scale changes in the ecosystem.
Human beings can only repel it by building strong fortifications, spending a lot of manpower and material resources, and gathering the strength of countless hunters.
Do you really think that the city walls of Minagard and those amazingly powerful city defense facilities are used to deal with flying dragons? What a joke!
They were designed from the beginning to deal with threats coming from the depths of the North Xiuret Mountains.
The threat called "ancient dragon".
“Is there anything else?”
“It’s just a small thing.”
Yamosi rubbed his forehead and said: "I recently accepted an apprentice. Before she starts to grow up, I may invest more time in her."
Hearing the implication of Yamos's words, the president's expression softened a little, and a smile appeared in her eyes, "I understand, cultivating the next generation is always the top priority, so feel free to do it."
"Thank you for your understanding, I won't disturb you anymore." Yamos nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly he thought of something and turned around again.
“I almost forgot, let me be more presumptuous, perhaps the Assembly should be more cautious in terms of task selection and intelligence.”
Ms. President raised her slender eyebrows, not dissatisfied, but rather curious.
“Prudent? What does it mean specifically?”
“Look at this two-star task list. Gordon just accepted it not long ago. Do you remember Gordon?”
".The Summer Festival of the Strange Face Clan? This is indeed an oversight on our part."
Ms. President's expression became serious again, even more gloomy than when she discussed the topic related to "Gu Long" before.
Yamos made it clear directly: "In summer, at the festival where the Strange Face Tribe gathers in large numbers, the King of the Strange Face Tribe may appear, and that is a monster with a dangerous level close to the top.
In case of encounter, with the strength of young people, they will not be able to come back. "
From the perspective of a "hunter", Yamos would not be polite to this kind of thing.
The mission of defeating 20 strange-faced tribesmen is rated as two-star. There is no problem, but there is no note on the task document to remind the king of the strange-faced tribe of possible information. This is a big problem.
"I apologize to Gordon on my behalf. I will cancel the mission and deal with the staff responsible for rating the mission." Madam President said solemnly and seriously.
Unexpectedly, Yamos waved his hand, "No need, I participated in the mission in the name of taking the apprentice to familiarize himself with the hunting ground. If the King of the Strange Face Tribe really appears, I will handle it well."
“In that case, I’m sorry to trouble you so much,” the president said with her hands folded in front of her and a deep bow.
“You’re welcome, take your leave.” After a brief farewell, Yamos left alone.
Ms. President took out the pipe again, filled it with tobacco, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled a long stream of smoke as if she wanted to spit out all the worries in her heart.
“It’s been such an eventful time.”
At noon, Yamos treated him to a treat, and Gordon had the most luxurious lunch since he was born.
Even if the double discounts of the internal discount of the assembly hall and the special treatment of Yamos high-level hunters are combined, the cost of this meal is still more than 1500z.
The variety of unheard-of high-end ingredients opened Gordon’s eyes.
Ghost green scallops just caught from the port early in the morning, king squid sashimi, sweet cone salad from the desert, white liver steamed with sake, and crab shells made from armored crabs.
And the most important main course - red wine slow-braised rock dragon tail.
At first, Gordon thought this thing was just a large stone soaked in fragrant soup.
In fact, that’s right. According to Yamos, this dish is carefully cooked with the tail of the “Rock Dragon”, the larvae of a flying dragon monster called “Armor Dragon”.
More than 90% of the huge tail is made of inedible bones and rocky carapace, but speaking of the thin layer of tender meat rich in oil mixed in it.
It’s simply a work of art!
Even Hayata, who looks elegant in eating, couldn't help but eat a lot.
What the two young men don’t know yet is that many of these high-end dishes cannot be bought even if they have money. Only hunters who have reached a certain level can “unlock” these special menus.
Can it also be regarded as an "encouragement mechanism" in the assembly hall?
Yamos watched with a smile as Gordon went from being polite and reserved at the beginning to devouring his food later.
He admired this young man very much.
There are many reasons for this, including the excellent talent that promoted him to the second star at a young age, the iron-like physique that can only be honed with enough hard work, the kindness to save his close friends and disciples, and the "feelings" that Kokot heroes are willing to endorse.
Had it not been for the fact that the opponent obviously belonged to the power-based path and his basic fighting style had already been finalized, he would have wanted to recruit another disciple.
Picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the light fruit wine. Yamos looked at Hayata, who also had a red mouth.
The little girl's talent is equally excellent and her mind is strong enough. When she grows up, she will be no worse than this boy and can inherit his mantle.
Well, although I am not destined to become a master and apprentice, since I like him, I should teach him more things.
