Gordon told the professor all about his experience with Hayata the night before leaving Lockrak.
“I know this sounds like a dream, but…”
“I don’t think you are dreaming.” The professor waved his hand, interrupting Gordon’s explanation.
“Her origin, her purpose, her true appearance, there are too many mysteries to count, but it should be a definite fact that such a girl in ancient costumes has come into contact with you.”
Seeing Gordon's somewhat surprised look, the professor jumped back on his seat, "I wonder why I don't have any doubts at all, but are so sure? It's obviously such a bizarre thing."
"Hmm..." Gordon said hesitantly: "Even if you have that painting as evidence, your confirmation is too quick."
The professor pushed up the heavy glasses and said, "Actually, even if you didn't bring that sketch, I would still believe you and the contact that happened that night."
Gordon raised his eyebrows.
You trust us so much? wrong….
He suddenly realized the reason. "Has this kind of incident of contact with a mysterious figure ever happened? Has the girl also had contact with others?"
"Yes, it happened." The professor nodded, and then shook his head, "But it may not be the girl, they are more than one person, and they may not even be human beings."
The three Gordons frowned, and Feng Ying raised her hand cautiously and asked: "So, are they ghosts?"
…”
The professor didn't know how to answer Feng Ying's question, so he simply ignored it. He looked at the three Gordons, "This contact incident is unusual, and that motto also gave me a very bad feeling.
We will go directly to meet with the Great Elder. I have some secrets that I am not sure whether I should tell you or not. Let the Great Elder make the decision. "
The professor has a vigorous and resolute character.
When they followed him all the way to the Grand Old Hall, Gordon was still a little confused.
You came directly to see the great elder?
Although high-ranking hunters are eligible to apply to meet the great elder, generally no one will bother the majestic old man unless there is something particularly urgent and important.
It seems that this mysterious contact is more special than they originally appeared.
On the stone platform of the main hall, the old dragon man who was as big as a mountain was wiping and maintaining his huge sword that was two or three stories high.
Noticing someone entering the hall, the great elder put the Zhan Lao Dao into its scabbard and put the tree aside.
“What’s the matter?”
A dull voice that seemed to resonate with the earth echoed in the hall, and Feng Ying subconsciously shrank behind Gordon.
Mom, scary
The professor started straightforwardly, "There is a 'mysterious person' who took the initiative to contact the hunters of the Silverborder Hunting Group."
ˆ “.”
Gordon could clearly feel that two substantial gazes penetrated the cover of the long snow-white eyebrows and fell on him and the others.
There was silence in the hall for a few seconds before the Great Elder finally spoke, "What did it say?"
Gordon's heart skipped a beat. He noticed that the Great Elder did not use "he" or "she" to describe human beings, but "it".
“That’s probably what she said.”
Exhaling and calming down, Gordon tried to repeat: "We need to go to the tower and deal with the noisy guys, otherwise we will wake up the 'king' and we will be in trouble."
“Tower, king.” The great elder repeated these two words in a low voice, seeming to be particularly concerned about these two words.
“Great Elder.” Ancier suddenly raised his head and asked, “Can you tell us what the so-called ‘mysterious person’ is all about?”
The great elder turned his attention to him, pondered for a moment and then said: "It doesn't hurt to tell you. Although your hunter level is a bit low, you have been exposed to the 'taboo' after all, and this time you were approached again."
She was really worried. The great elder suddenly pointed at her and said, "That five-star one, go out to me."
That’s too embarrassing!
However, the Great Elder didn't notice Feng Ying huddled behind Gordon at all. He said in a deep voice, "Since ancient times, there have been some mysterious beings walking in the world with the appearance of human beings.
Looking through the classics, you can find that their presence can be traced back to thousands of years ago, or even further back.
Poet in red, king in yellow, knight in black, girl in white
No one can confirm the true identities and behavioral purposes of these mysterious beings, but every time they appear, they are related to ancient dragons and even taboos.
Hence, we speculate that they are related to the ancient dragon, and may even be the ancient dragon itself. "
Gordon and the others looked at each other, feeling like they were listening to a fairy tale.
The ancient dragon turned into a human?
The professor saw their doubts and added: "It may not necessarily become a person directly, it may also possess and manipulate humans in some way that we cannot understand, or create some phantoms on the spiritual level.
Some of them will even go to the assembly hall to issue some inexplicable tasks, luring powerful hunters to challenge the taboo existence. "
ˆ “.”
Feng Ying stuck out her tongue. Isn’t that girl in ancient clothes also such a bad-tempered person?
“Since they can come to the meeting place to issue tasks, hasn’t the guild tried to investigate?” Gordon couldn’t help but ask.
"Of course." The great elder responded in a low voice, "Elite hunters, guild knights, and dark nights have all tried, but unfortunately nothing has been achieved.
Even the guild staff who handled business for them could not recall what exactly happened at that time.
Take the 'poet in red' who appears relatively frequently as an example. 'Red' is easy to explain, but why the staff have the impression that he is a 'poet', they themselves can't explain.
The concept of 'poet in red' was born in their minds without any reason. "
Hearing this, Gordon suddenly turned his head and looked at Hayata, who also looked at him at the same time, with the same weirdness written in their eyes.
This is their experience.
When did the "girl in ancient clothes" come and how did she leave? How old exactly? What kind of body shape? Appearance, facial features, skin color, hair color? Nothing can be said clearly.
Even the concept of "ancient costumes" makes no sense.
They are not professors and have no research on ancient costumes.
Even if the girl is dressed in weird clothes, why can't it be in national clothes? Why can't it be a unique costume? Why do they think those are "ancient costumes"?
There is no reason, only conclusion.
“It’s really evil.” Gordon’s face looked a little ugly.
The last time this kind of thinking was affected was the forbidden skull in the ruins of Lingfeng.
This gave him some bad associations.
“Great Elder, do you think this will be a ‘trap’?” Gordon raised his head and asked.
"trap?"
The Great Elder was startled, then realized what Gordon meant, shook his head and said: "No, judging from past records, those 'people' don't bother to lie and set up traps.
Some like to use a condescending tone of provocation, and there are also the "naughty" guys who ask you to meet somewhere, only to meet a taboo. "
"." Gordon was speechless for a moment.
The professor spoke at this time, "From your description, this 'girl in ancient costumes' does not look like the kind of guy who takes pleasure in human beings, but more like a warning and reminder that we should not ignore."
“I have the same view.” The great elder picked up his sword and said, “If the existence they call a ‘king’ is awakened, it will definitely turn into a big trouble.
The urgent task now is to confirm what the ‘tower’ is and what the noisy thing is. "
