Chapter 606 Biological Issues
Just two days after returning to Bernard Village, Gordon and Ancil received a summons letter from East Doruma, the headquarters of the Hunter Guild.
They thought that another combat mission had been assigned. It was not until they read the contents of the letter that the two of them realized that the only purpose of calling the guild this time was for them to go there.
means a question.
They were not the only ones who went with them, there were also the chief researcher of Longli Academy, several paleontologists, Ms. Duda, the leader of the archaeological team, and several members of the archaeological team.
Obviously, the guild headquarters attaches great importance to the information about the mysterious monster they encountered this time.
It is not enough to have compiled detailed information and send it to someone, the person concerned must also be present to inquire in person.
In fact, it can be understood.
There are too many things about the mysterious monster that can make the guild's senior leaders feel afraid. Just looking at the words and pictures in the paper report always makes people feel unreal.
In pursuit of efficiency, the chief researcher also specially arranged a high-speed airship, which made the journey to East Doruma boring.
The whole journey can be roughly summarized as getting on the skyboat, watching the sky for a while, sleeping, and watching the clouds for a while, and then we arrived.
“There is always a feeling of ‘why are we here again?’” Gordon muttered as he walked off the landing pad.
“I feel like meow too.”
"Speaking of which, is it really necessary to call Gale Feng by name? He can't speak." Gordon glanced at Gale Feng, who was going crazy on the airboat and spreading joy around, and felt that the little guy was a bit pitiful.
Just like Anhil didn't like riding in a bumpy minecart, Gale didn't like staying in a small empty boat cabin either.
“I don’t know, maybe there is some special purpose.” Anhil shrugged.
The group of people didn’t go anywhere after getting off the airship. The guild staff who had been waiting by the airship led them directly to the Great Hall.
In the hall, which cannot be called exquisite or gorgeous, but is grand enough, many people are already waiting here.
Gordon walked into the hall and quickly scanned these people with his eyes, and found that most of them were scholars. Judging from the style of their uniforms, they were from the Wangli Paleontology Scribes Team, the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, and the Longli Academy.
There are a small number of people whose uniforms Gordon didn't recognize, and they may be from certain subdivisions.
Hey, are there any acquaintances?
Gordon raised his hand as a greeting to the old professor with whom he had a certain degree of fate.
The other party also nodded slightly in greeting.
“I’ve finally waited for you.”
The great elder's voice rumbled, "You have been studying the report from the ancient village ruins archaeological team for several days. The person involved is also here now. I don't want to talk nonsense. The inquiry will officially begin."
Many scholars raised their hands, some of them stood up impatiently, and some even more impatiently spoke directly.
“Are there any samples? Are there any biological samples?”
“Is there any more specific size information about the mysterious monster described in the report?!”
“Among conventional large monsters, it can barely be considered a middle-to-lower size. Can it really independently control a mechanical behemoth the size of a super-giant ancient dragon?
No offense intended, but is it possible for multiple creatures of the same type to cooperate in operations? "
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, cooperating with each other to operate the mechanical behemoths? This kind of thing is difficult for even professionally trained humans to do, let alone monsters!"
“Why do you think monsters’ IQ and learning ability must be lower than humans?”
ˆ “.”
ˆ “.”
It was still a question-only session. Before Gordon and other participants had time to answer, the scholars who asked the questions were already quarreling with each other.
“Quiet!”
The inquiry meeting finally became orderly.
Regarding the biological organization specimens of golden beetles, and the samples of those worms, the paleontological researchers of the Dragon Hospital have studied for a few days. Right now, the research report has been announced, and the samples are also shared.
The Paleontology Scribes Team and the scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau immediately asked people to bring in some instruments and reagents, and started experiments on the spot. The professor Gordon and the others were familiar with was also one of them.
A group of old men and women made a mess in the main hall.
Fortunately, the great elder doesn’t care about this either.
Inquiry meetings are also being held simultaneously.
Gordon finally knew what the purpose of these scholars was in calling Gale over.
They also specially made a few targets made of solid wood and covered with monster skins for the strong wind to chew on, for the pigs to scratch, and for themselves and Ancil to attack with weapons.
Happiness should be hoped to roughly confirm the toughness of the mysterious monster's carapace through comparison.
The information meeting lasted for most of the day in a chaotic manner.
The staff of the guild had to bring bread and other convenient food to prevent these precious old scholars from eating too much.
What follows is a more confusing debate.
From this moment on, Gordon and the others, the cat and the dog, were not very involved.
Even Anhir, the most knowledgeable among them, did not even reach the level of a student in front of these real scholars.
The sharp-eyed Pork Chop also discovered something interesting.
The Great Elder, who was always sitting on the stone platform, had his eyebrows lowered as always, and his long, snow-white eyebrows covered his eyes, making it difficult for people to notice.
He had already dozed off.
The meeting lasted from day to night, and the scholars finally reached relatively unified opinions on some aspects of the content.
I don’t know if he didn’t sleep too deeply, or if he had been sitting in that position for hundreds of years and had developed this “stunt”.
The Great Elder woke up without any abnormality, and his tone was as calm as ever, "Everyone, please tell me the conclusions you have drawn. You know what I care about."
“Great elder.”
The professor who was finally selected as the concluding speaker stepped forward. His voice was very hoarse, and it was obvious that he had been shouting a lot before, "First of all, it is about the classification of this kind of creature.
More than two-thirds of scholars believe that this mysterious monster should not be counted as an ancient dragon species.
Even when controlling a giant machine, its strength is even higher than that of many ancient dragon monsters, but it has very obvious characteristics of a beetle creature.
Judging from the fact that there was no trigger at all when Hunter Gordon used a dragon-type weapon to attack, there should be no dragon-type energy in his body, so we identified him as a beetle species. "
"Um"
The great elder responded patiently.
From his perspective, the only two valuable parts of the long paragraph summarized by the professor are "it has very powerful strength compared to ancient dragon species" and "it is not weak to dragons".
The professor continued with what scholars considered to be a concise and concise report.
“Considering its special ability to collect and manipulate ruins to form a ‘mechanical ruin city’, and its role as the ‘core’ of the ruin city, it can also be understood as the ‘power’ and ‘spirit’ of the ruin city.”
“Speak to the important point!”
“Well, we determined its scientific name as ‘Adoralu Ka’, which means ‘the spirit that controls the ruins’.”
“Isn’t there a name that is easier to understand and more memorable for everyone?” The great elder interrupted the professor again.
The professor turned around, exchanged opinions with several old scholars, and finally turned around and said:
“The mantis in the pavilion.”
