Chapter 896 Invitation from the New World
After completing the rendezvous with Hayata and Ansir who were hiding nearby, they returned to the camp.
Gordon first poured himself two bottles of recovery medicine, then took out a piece of food and started chewing it.
After quickly swallowing the food, Gordon patted the crumbs on his hands and said with a smile, "The special training is over, there is no need to come again."
Anhir and Hayata both glared at him.
Pork Chop Pandan stepped around him several times, and only the silly gale licked him.
Gordon had no choice but to suffer and beg for mercy.
Performing it in one go has almost become a knot in his mind, and he has been really confused in the past six or seven months.
The first two months were nothing. There was no mention of the big wild boar or the big strange bird. Even if they were to use the Boom Dragon to practice their moves, with their strength, the risk was not too great.
But changing the target to the Demon Queen, everything is different.
Difficulty is not at the same level at all. In any battle, it is normal to make a bigger mistake, to rescue your companions a little less timely, and to die on the spot.
You call this practice? !
They discussed and argued with Gordon, but in the end they found that they could not change Gordon's mind. This guy wanted to continue to challenge the Demon Queen even if he was alone, so they could only silently choose to support him.
Feng Ying was temporarily sent back to Yanhuo Village by them.
Not wanting her to take risks is part of the story. After all, she is a shield bearer, and there is a possibility that she might give herself up to save others.
More importantly, Feng Ying is in the period of rapid growth in strength. It would be a waste of time to follow Gordon as a guard.
It would be better to let her go back first and continue to practice insect skills while competing with Lieyan for progress.
As for the two of them, consider yourself unlucky.
Gordon, who finally got it done in one go and untied his knot, sincerely apologized.
But this energy is not so easy to control.
Hayatala pulled Gordon's ear and said angrily: "It's not like I won't let you practice. Look, you used the Dragon Boom to practice before. Did we say anything?"
You must find a monster like the Demon that can knock you to death as your sparring partner, right? You don’t take your own life seriously, do you? "
Anhil would not talk about it like Hayata, but his cold eyes gave Gordon even more headaches.
I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to make these two people feel better.
Take a small airboat and return to Bernard Village.
Gordon first compiled the new ideas about "all in one go" into a book and sent it to the chief researcher.
In the past six months, due to his personal reasons, the entire Yinbian team has done almost nothing and just spent time fighting the devil.
In this situation of "having nothing to do", the chief researcher and others still provided a lot of support, including intelligence, mission permission, transportation, fooling the guild, etc. This sentiment must be acknowledged.
Farewell to the overjoyed chief researcher, the three of them went to the tavern on the Longshi ship together.
Although the mysterious landlady pointed at Gordon's nose and scolded him several times, she also provided them with a lot of battle intelligence about the Demon.
In more than a dozen battles in the past six months, this information has played a very critical role.
Of course I have to come and say thank you.
Then, they were severely ripped off by the landlady and bought many bottles of wine at horrifying prices.
Of course, Gordon paid for it alone.
Hayata drank tons and tons of wine, but Gordon was reluctant to take a big sip. Just as he was tasting these sour and expensive wines with distress, a figure walked into the tavern.
Wearing funny little sunglasses, a bald bartender who kept wiping his glass was obviously stunned when he saw the man clearly.
The landlady also unfolded her ornate little fan with a "swish" to cover up the surprise at the corner of her mouth, "Why are you here? Our family thought you died in the New World."
Gordon and the others also looked at the visitor curiously.
An acquaintance of the landlady?
That was a thin man from the Dragon Tribe. According to human appearance standards, he looked to be in his forties, but based on the life span of a Dragon Tribe, he should be at least seventy or eighty years old.
The insect stick behind him proves his identity as a hunter. He is an uncommon hunter of the dragon tribe. The dragon hunter nodded to the landlady and the bartender as a greeting, "I'm here to find someone."
Then, under the puzzled looks of Gordon and the others, he came to sit down at their table.
“To introduce myself briefly, I am Mecca Yi Aziz Arafat, from the first phase of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team.”
Gordon's first reaction was that the name was strangely long, and it reminded him of President Ventius of Minagard.
But then he heard more crucial information.
“New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team?!”
Ordinary people knew very little about the New World.
More than half a century ago, with the development of human navigation technology, adventurers discovered a new continent thousands of miles away across the ocean.
The New World has natural resources, biological populations, and ecological environments that are completely different from those of the Old World. However, because the distance is too far and the information is blurry, it appears to be very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.
Even if Gordon and other high-ranking hunters know more, they are limited to the fact that every ten years, many organizations such as the Hunter Guild and the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau will jointly form a "New World Ancient Dragon Survey Team" to launch expeditions to the New World.
The specific details are unclear.
The fourth phase of the group set off about six years ago. In other words, the dragon hunter in front of me was the first elite group to go to the New World nearly fifty years ago.
Thinking about this, the three of them suddenly stood in awe.
After each briefly introduced themselves, Gordon poured a glass of wine for the dragon hunter, and then asked: "Senior Mecca, when you say 'looking for someone', do you mean us?"
"Um."
The dragon hunter nodded very simply and admitted, "To be honest, I have been observing you for a long time, especially you, Gordon, your battle with the devil is impressive."
"Uh" Gordon didn't know what to say for a moment.
Anhil frowned slightly. He didn't say anything, but the dragon hunter keenly noticed the change in his expression.
He bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to investigate you, let alone explore your privacy.
Just to confirm your strength with my own eyes. "
Hearing this from a distance, the proprietress wearing heavy makeup and a full dress came out from behind the counter, quickly came to their table, pulled up a chair and sat down.
She no longer had the usual delicate and graceful feeling, and now she seemed a bit vigorous and resolute.
“You want to invite them to join the fifth phase of the group? Their strength is enough, rather than a little exceeded, but it will still be four or five years before the fifth phase of the group departs. Is it too early to start inviting them now?”
The dragon hunter was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just say it.
It’s not about the fifth phase of the mission, but it’s almost the same. For some reasons, we hope to form a ‘special investigation team’ in advance before the fifth phase of the mission.
This investigation team will be composed of elite hunters as the main body to supplement the combat power of the fourth phase of the team. At the end of this year, that is, nearly two months later, it will set off for the New World by boat.
Actually, I came to the Old Continent more than half a year ago, and during this period, I have been promoting this moment.
At present, many preparations such as supplies, ships, and auxiliary personnel have been basically completed. Only the core hunters have not yet been determined.
With the approval of the great elder, I am allowed to invite ten hunters to join the special investigation team. Of course, the premise is to obtain the consent of the parties concerned. "
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, took a deep look at the three Gordons, and continued: "Telling the truth is the basis of trust, so I will not hide it and add one point emphatically.
As I said just now, the special investigation team exists as a "combat force supplement". It is almost certain that there will be a head-on conflict with Gu Long in the subsequent investigation.
Hence, we will give priority to high-level hunter teams that have experience fighting ancient dragon-level creatures many times.
After a long period of screening and understanding, we have several targets to be invited.
Your Silverborder Hunting Group is the team we are most looking forward to and most optimistic about. "
Anhil chuckled, "It sounds a bit like a cliche."
The dragon hunter's expression was very serious, "No, it's the truth."
ˆPs.
Why can't you give the NPC a name like mhr? Why!
Most of the time, I will still use the terms "Dragon Hunter" and "Supply Squad Leader", but there are some places where I can't get around it, and I will give some names that are not inconsistent.
