Chapter 681 Investigation suspended
The eating habits of Sinard Village are mainly vegetarian, with alpine vegetables and soy products prepared in various ways, and a kind of corn as the staple food, which is quite light.
Fortunately, the great monk Zheng also understood how much the hunters eat. Every piece of food was of sufficient quantity, and he finally satisfied these guys with big appetites.
The only one who is unhappy is Gale, it wants to eat meat
After simply putting away the tableware with his mother-in-law who was helping the kitchen, the young dragon man returned to the table and took the initiative to start the conversation.
“My brother said in the letter that you have something to ask me about,” he said. After hesitating for a moment, the monk Zhengcai continued: “He said that I should decide whether to reply according to my own wishes. What is the matter?”
Gordon and the brigade commander looked at each other.
It can only be said that the big-nosed villager in Jiangbo Village gave them some face by not directly mentioning the pure white dragon scales in the letter, which also left them with some initiative.
Gordon raised his palm towards the brigade leader and signaled, "You tell me."
The leader considered his words and said, "Indeed, we have something to ask you. From what your brother said, this seems to be a taboo in your village. Please forgive me if it offends me."
The monk didn't answer the conversation, he just looked at the old man quietly, waiting for the next step.
The leader took off his hat, took out the strange dragon scale, put it on the table and pushed it in front of the monk.
Gordon, who secretly observed the monk's expression, found that when his eyes fell on the scales, the former's pupils shrank significantly.
He didn't even pick up the dragon scales, he just made a gesture to the leader to put away the scales.
“Sorry, I can’t tell you much because of the taboo. You just need to know that the creature represented by this scale symbolizes destruction and death.
Stop it, don’t explore any further, and don’t take out this scale again. If the elders and others see it, you may be expelled from Chenard Village. "
After saying this, the young man from the dragon tribe spoke in a serious tone that was completely different from his previous cordiality and enthusiasm: "It's already late at night, everyone, please go back."
After being ordered to be expelled, the members of the brigade who returned to the Isana gathered together for a small meeting.
"Not to mention the old-fashioned elders, the young monks have this attitude, so this matter should be out of discussion." Anhil looked a little depressed, "If you want to continue the investigation, you can only think of other ways. "
The old dragon businessman wrapped in a big turban crossed his arms and said: "If necessary, I can be careful and inquire when setting up the stall these days. Maybe I can get some clues."
Chef Meow was also shaking the spatula at the side, "You can also try Meow, Meow."
The brigade leader frowned and did not reply immediately.
“I also have a way!” Feng Ying raised her hand, “Didn’t Master Gordon say that there is some kind of ‘forbidden area’ or ‘forbidden area’ somewhere in Sky Mountain?
Since they are all taboos, what is the connection between them? If we sneak over there, we might be able to get some key clues."
Before she finished speaking, Feng Ying noticed that everyone's eyes were fixed on her, which made her shrink her neck involuntarily, "What are you doing?"
Gordon took a deep breath, resisted the urge to punch her twice on the spot, and said sadly: "Feng Ying, do you know how at least half of all the messy events in the world come from? "
Sensing the danger, Feng Ying took a step back, put her head in her hands, and tried to quibble, "I, I just meant to get close and have a look, not go in."
Hayata knocked Feng Ying on the head and taught Gordon a lesson, "Since it is a forbidden area, there must be a reason for it. Even if this trip fails, we cannot approach that place."
“Oh” Feng Ying agreed reluctantly.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect that Monk Zheng and the others would have such a big reaction to this incident. There must be a reason for this.”
Gordon looked at the team leader and continued: "My suggestion is to temporarily suspend the investigation because I don't know what will happen if the investigation continues.
The scales are probably related to the forbidden area. Perhaps a dangerous ancient dragon sleeps there? What if our investigation awakens it?
Compared with the dangers that may arise, whether it is your curiosity or Ancil’s equipment materials, they are things that can be put aside. "
The brigade leader, who was silent for a while, nodded.
"Well, I agree with what Gordon said. When the head of Jiangbo Village said that this was the 'secret' of Sinard Village, I didn't think much about it, but the monk used the word 'taboo', so I had to think carefully about it. .
Stop all investigations, businessmen, chefs, you just go about your business, there is no need to inquire about anything else.
If things don't turn around, just think of it as a trip to Sinard Village. "
After saying this, the brigade leader, who always seemed full of energy, waved his hands slightly dejectedly, turned around and walked towards his cabin.
Hayata was a little worried. She looked at the person in charge of processing and winked at the sturdy dragon craftsman.
The taciturn person in charge of processing nodded, stood up, and chased after the group leader.
He and the group leader have been acquaintances for decades. If there is anyone who is best suited to comfort the group leader, it is definitely him.
After the group leader and the person in charge of processing left one after another, the remaining members of the brigade also dispersed with little interest. After preparing for the Dragon Scale matter for so long, it ended up being forced to stop. Naturally, everyone was not in a good mood. good.
Gordon looked at Ancil.
The investigation on the pure white dragon scales has ended here. The most disappointed person must be the brigade leader who has been preparing for many years. The second most disappointed person is probably Ancier.
His antique-looking digging equipment was always with him on the ship.
What’s even more worrying is that this guy is not a man of rules at heart.
Ancil rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing looking at me like this? Do you think I'm as brainless as Feng Ying? I can still tell which is more important. In the end, it's just putting on armor. If you really can't find a chance to do anything else."
"I feel relieved with your words." Gordon grinned, "The spider armor is also a bit outdated. After this trip is over, I will seize the opportunity to help you get something else.
How about 【黑子】? Hilda-senpai's favorite, and it also fits your dark aesthetic. "
“Who told you that my aesthetics are dark?!” Ancier glared at Gordon and said, “It’s ‘reserved’, okay? Reserved elegance, hey, I’m afraid you guys can’t understand it either.
In fact, in addition to this set of digging armor, I also have a backup plan. I heard that there is a two-name night bird monster - the Obscure Night Bird. The performance of that set of armor is okay, and the shape is also to my liking. "
“Nightbird? Isn’t it too late?”
“They are two night birds.” Anhir emphasized.
“So, our trip to Sinard Village is really just for tourism? Are we not going to do anything?” Feng Ying asked cautiously.
There were three people, two cats and even two dogs, a total of fourteen eyes staring at her.
Thinking that this guy was still determined, Gordon grinned and clenched his fists, and even Hayata was ready to grab her cheeks.
Feng Ying waved her hands wildly, "No, no, no, no, Master Gordon, please calm down, I mean, the ecology of Sky Mountain is very special, right?
There should be some rare monsters, ores, insect materials, etc. that are rare in other places, right?
Maybe we can ask Monk Zheng and the others to do the two tasks they received, and it would not be in vain! "
"This can be considered." Gordon retracted his fist, "By the way, I almost forgot. Remember to wash your hands and face carefully when you get up tomorrow.
Aren't we still preparing to bet on the stone guard? "
