Chapter 756 Coincidence? Multiple insurance?
“Since the so-called ‘King’ is sleeping, it must not be an ordinary tower.”
The professor thought, "Assuming that the 'king' is a taboo-level existence, there should be only three places that can be called 'towers' within the known world, where taboos may reside.
The ancient pyramid is submerged in the forest, the ancient pagoda deep in the sea of trees in Honglong area, and the sky corridor on the isolated island in the far sea. "
"It can't be the Sky Corridor." The great elder shook his head, ruling out one of the possibilities. "The Sky Corridor is too big and too high. Just the area that the investigation team barely confirmed has more than 500 floors. The overall height is It's even more than a thousand layers above.
There are countless monsters with extremely high danger levels living in it, and there are also "fans" guarding them.
Even if the whole guild uses its strength, regardless of casualties, it will take at least several generations to clear out the monsters in the Sky Corridor.
If the 'tower' in Proverbs refers to the celestial corridor, then this warning has no meaning, because it is an impossible task.
And it should come to the old man directly instead of finding a few young hunters. "
Listening to the exchange between the two old men, Gordon, who thought he had a lot of knowledge, couldn't help but open his mouth.
There are actually ruins with more than a thousand floors in this world? Even if each floor is only three meters, then the building height must not exceed three thousand meters? ? !
The professor continued: "The ancient pyramid in Shuiwulin is also unlikely. The ruins are large enough, and it is not surprising that an ancient dragon lives there, but the territory where the taboo level exists will not be easily changed.
Last year, an archaeological team fully explored the ancient pyramid and found no particularly dangerous monsters. The Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau also found no unusual movements in the Shuiwu Forest area. "
"From this point of view, the ancient pagoda deep in the mysterious sea of trees in Honglong should be the only 'tower' that meets the conditions." The great elder said slowly: "Our understanding of the sea of trees and the remains of that ancient pagoda The knowledge is too vague.
To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s someone sleeping there. Maybe it’s time to send a team over to investigate...”
“You can’t go in!”
“Guard! Stop it quickly!”
There were sudden commotions outside the hall door. The great elder ignored these commotions and frowned in thought.
Silverside Hunting Group is excellent enough, but this matter may involve taboos. He is a little worried about placing the entire burden on a few young people.
It would be best to arrange an eight-star or even nine-star hunter leader to replace the five-star girl.
The commotion outside the hall became more and more intense, and there were even sounds of fighting. The great elder's thoughts were interrupted.
The grumpy old man raised his head with a displeased face and struck the huge sword as thick and long as a doorpost in his hand. The dull sound of thunder was accompanied by a deafening shout that resounded throughout the Great Hall.
"who!"
There was a lull in the movement outside the door, and the intruder seemed to have been caught, but its sharp voice still penetrated through the heavy wooden door, "Save Meow! See the Great Elder! Please... Meow!"
A guild staff member hurriedly walked in. After nervously saluting the Grand Elder, he quickly reported: "A Meralu tried to break into the Grand Elder's Hall, but was stopped by the guild knight."
“Melaru?”
Under the Great Elder's dissatisfied glare, the staff member trembled a little. He hesitated for half a second and continued to explain: "It should be a hunting partner of a certain hunter. Its owner seems to be in danger, so it wants to ask you for help directly. .”
This kind of thing happens occasionally.
Under normal circumstances, it should go to the counter of the meeting place to issue an emergency rescue mission, but it often takes some time to find a hunter willing to take on the rescue mission.
Some people are anxious and can’t wait, so they will try to find the guild director or even the chief elder. If they agree to directly assign a high-ranking hunter to go to the rescue, the efficiency will be much higher.
But high-level hunters are not firefighters after all. If they do this again and again, high-level hunters don’t have to do anything else.
Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the great elders rarely agree to directly send high-ranking hunters to carry out rescue operations. Regardless of whether they agree or not, the act of forcing their way into the great old palace will always be punished afterwards.
The great elder whose thoughts were interrupted was obviously not in a good mood, but thinking that a hunter was in danger, he softened his heart and said, "Let him come in and explain the situation."
Soon, a guild knight with fine scratches on his face came in carrying a gray-faced Melalu.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Meralu was obviously a little scared, but thinking of its master's situation at this time, it mustered up the courage with its trembling beard, "We, our master has taken the task of hunting velociraptors, meow, in the lush sea of trees. Meow, it’s also a mission to advance to five stars, meow!
We severely injured the Velociraptor, and then chased it into a large ruins deep in the sea of trees. As a result, a strange dragon rushed out and killed the Velociraptor with one bite!
That red booming dragon is so powerful, its roar is so loud, like a big barrel of explosive bombs! It's really going to explode!
We can't defeat him at all. The master is stuck in the ruins. He stopped Honglong to create a chance for us to run out and ask for help."
Gordon and others looked strange, as did the great elder and professor.
The girl in ancient clothes, the motto mentioning "noisy", the ruins of the ancient tower, the unusual roaring dragon, the hunter in distress, Melalu's request for help
The purpose is to let the guild send high-ranking hunters to the ancient tower.
“You just said that the red booming dragon has a particularly loud roar?” Ancier confirmed to Melalu, “This is the first time I’ve heard of the red booming dragon.”
“Yes, yes, meow! We were the first to go to the counter to announce the rescue mission. They all said they had never heard of the red boomerosaurus, saying that it might be a subspecies or a rare species of cat that had never been seen before.
So the difficulty of the task is set very high, at seven or seven stars, there is no one who can help! We just came here because we had no other choice, meow." Melalu said feeling aggrieved.
This situation is understandable.
If a fellow hunter is in danger, most hunters are still willing to help if they can. However, if the degree of danger far exceeds their own strength, then they can only say sorry.
"How long ago did you encounter the red dragon?" Gordon suddenly asked Melalue.
"Three, late at night three days ago?" Melalue somewhat misunderstood what Gordon meant, and took the initiative to explain: "The Hong Leong area is separated from the old continent by the sea, so our master rented an airship to go there. , we also came here in that empty boat, meow!
It won’t be long, there must be someone who can be saved! "
Gordon looked up at the great elder, "The mysterious girl also came to us late at night three days ago, almost at the same time."
“Do you think these two things are directly related?”
“I think so.” Gordon looked at the great elder, nodded and said: “There are so many coincidences that it’s not normal, it would be more reasonable to say they were arranged.
On the one hand, it induces hunters to encounter the Red Boom Dragon and forces them to ask for help. On the other hand, it gives us a warning and lets us deal with the noisy monsters. It is a two-way journey.
Although there are still many places where the logic is not very smooth, it probably had no intention of arranging things to be so reasonable and perfect. It is enough to fool us into solving the problem. "
Hayata raised his hand and said: "My view is a little different. This may not be a 'two-way rush', but a 'double insurance'.
He warned us in the form of a girl in ancient costumes, and induced Melalu to send news of the existence of the Red Boom Dragon, all in order to get the guild to send forces to hunt the Red Boom Dragon.
As long as one line is successful, the goal is achieved. "
"But why bother?" Feng Ying, who was a little dizzy after hearing this, looked confused, "Don't those 'people' sometimes go to the assembly hall to issue tasks? Wouldn't it be better to just issue the task of hunting the Red Boom Dragon? ?”
“That makes sense.” Anhir nodded, and then asked the great elder, “So, is there such a task?”
The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, and called a female dragon clerk, "Go and check to see if there are any strange mission documents, especially the person who issued the mission, a girl in ancient costumes, etc."
The dragonman clan clerk nodded and left quickly.
Everyone comforted the impatient Melalu, and after waiting for less than half an hour, the clerk came back with two receipts with a weird expression, and the guild director with the same weird expression came with him.
