Chapter 1169 Nine Stars

"Last night, the King of the Strange Face Clan visited the Star Stronghold." Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, the Commander-in-Chief crossed his arms and started the meeting.

The scale of this meeting was not large, and the personnel were mainly scholars. However, the leader of the material squad, which cannot be bypassed in large-scale operations, did not appear, which meant that the commander-in-chief did not intend to start a war.

Anhir glanced across the command podium and had a rough judgment on the commander-in-chief's thoughts.

"This was an ordinary visit, but it led to the whereabouts of a certain ancient dragon." The commander-in-chief looked at Ancil and Gale. "To be more specific, let the parties concerned speak."

Anhil tidied up his language and talked about what happened last night, while Gale added on.

Scholars were surprised by Gale's relationship with the Strange Face Tribe. They carefully judged the information about the appearance of the Glorious Dragon and speculated on the possible reasons behind it.

But there are also people whose focus is entirely in other directions.

Feng Ying looked at the golden mask placed on the table by An Xil, her eyes almost popped out, and the reflection in her eyes was the color of gold.

A giant ancient dragon covered in gold? ! Wow!

Just when Ancil was talking about the warning from the King of Strange Faces, a figure trotted into the headquarters.

It's Gordon.

"Sorry, I'm late." He looked a little dazed, as if he didn't sleep well last night.

The commander-in-chief didn't care, raised his palm, and motioned for Ancier to continue.

Ancil first looked at Gordon's expression carefully.

Excited, excited, restless, frightened, overwhelmed... Well, it's very complicated.

There was an "interesting" smile on Ancil's face. He really wanted to tease Gordon now, but unfortunately it was not the time now.

After clearing his throat and gathering his thoughts, Anhil continued his previous story.

Gordon quietly asked Feng Ying about the meeting he missed.

Feng Ying briefly summarized her focus, "The king of the Strange Face Clan came last night, and he brought a golden mask. Does that mask seem to be related to the emergence of some brilliant dragon?

I heard that it was an ancient dragon covered in gold! "

"Xuanhuilong?"

Although he only had a glimpse of it a few years ago, Gordon was deeply impressed by this ancient dragon.

The golden priest who leads the Strange Face Clan in the Big Ant Mound, the legend of the Golden Land, the honorable name of the Mother Goddess, the surge of earth energy, the mysterious golden piece, the sacrifice of the Strange Face Clan, and the return of the wanderer

Everything that happened back then is still vivid in my mind.

However, at this time, Gordon was thinking about another thing, which made his current thinking very simple and linear.

"So we are planning a crusade? When will we set off?"

He forgot to lower his voice, and everyone at the command table looked over.

"Squad leader of the investigation squad, we are far from that step yet." The commander-in-chief reminded helplessly.

"Sorry." Gordon smiled dryly and shut up.

He just wanted to finish the meeting and go home quickly.

Gordon was always absent-minded in the following meetings. Fortunately, he also knew himself, and he was like a statue and didn't speak randomly.

After the meeting, just ask Feng Ying to ask An Xil to summarize the key points of the meeting.

Scholars are unanimous in their opinions.

Xuanhuilong is a giant ancient dragon that lives deep in the earth's veins. Humanity's understanding of it is extremely limited.

If it is true, as the King of the Strange Face Clan said, that the Xuanhui Dragon is responsible for dredging the earth's veins, then its importance to the energy circulation of the earth's veins in the entire New World will not even be lower than that of the Corpse Dragon.

It is impossible to conquer.

The other party is an important part of the New World's ecology, and there is no threat to the investigation team. Is it enough to go on a crusade after being full? Can you get the golden horn back to decorate your appearance?

However, targeted investigation is definitely indispensable.

Judging from the records of the past two appearances, the appearance of the Xuanhui Dragon corresponds to some huge changes in the ability of the earth veins.

This is most likely related to the death of the Dark Lantern Dragon. There may also be other hidden reasons?

Moreover, following the footsteps of the Xuanhui Dragon, you may have the opportunity to enter the depths of the earth's veins and further uncover the mystery of the energy cycle in the New World.

Does the legendary Golden Land have its own unique ecosystem?

These are what the investigation team is really concerned about.

At the end of the meeting, the commander-in-chief issued an order.

——Search for those scattered gold pieces to confirm the whereabouts of the Brilliant Dragon. If you have the opportunity, investigate as deeply as possible without angering it.

This order is very broad and does not designate specific investigators. It can basically be understood as a long-term free investigation mission.

Feng Ying was eager to try and wanted to set off immediately.

Gold! I'm going to find gold! I'm going to find the gold scattered in the wilderness now!

Gordon had the completely opposite attitude and lacked interest.

If possible, he didn't want to take on any tasks recently, unless it was an urgent assignment that couldn't be turned down.

The keen-eyed commander-in-chief naturally saw the anomaly in his top combat power of the investigation team.

After the meeting, he stopped Gordon, who was about to leave, and planned to ask with concern. If there were any difficulties, the investigation team could help find a solution.

Gordon seemed a little hesitant. Before he could think of how to speak, Gale came over and said to the commander-in-chief with a smile:

"Hayata is pregnant!"

"Huh?!"

Feng Ying, who was about to sneak away and run away, immediately turned back, "Really or not!! Is Sister Hayata at home? I'll go see her!"

She forgot about things like gold and ran away quickly.

The commander-in-chief also raised his eyebrows, his face showing surprise and the joy unique to the elderly.

"No wonder, how long has it been?"

Gordon giggled and scratched the back of his head, "I just found out yesterday. I saw a doctor for a checkup. It's been less than two months?"

"Okay, it seems that it won't be too long before our investigation team will have new members." The commander-in-chief smiled and patted Gordon on the shoulder.

"The Dark Lantern Dragon incident is over. It's been very peaceful recently. The investigation of the Xuanhui Dragon is not urgent. It can be left to others.

We will try not to assign tasks to you during this period, and just spend time with Hayata.

If you need anything, feel free to tell us. Now the transportation lines with the Old Continent have been opened. Many things that are not available here can be purchased and shipped from the Old Continent. "

Gordon quickly thanked him, and the commander-in-chief waved his hand, "By the way, there is one more thing. Although the official notification has not been sent out yet, it has been finalized. Let me tell you in advance."

"You said?"

The Commander-in-Chief smiled, "Not long ago, a document from the Old Continent Guild headquarters mentioned that the guild's senior officials planned to promote you to a nine-star hunter.

Based on your past performance and previous experience of fighting the Nergigante alone and successfully hunting it, there will be no resistance to this promotion.

However, the Nine-Star Hunter is different from the Seven-Star and Eight-Star. It has special symbolic meaning and the process will be more complicated.

Coupled with the long distance between the old and new continents, it is estimated that it will take some time for the actual promotion documents to be delivered.

So, congratulations in advance Gordon, you have truly reached the top of the hunter ranks and are qualified to be called a ‘master’. "

Gordon was stunned for two seconds when he heard this and nodded.

"Thanks."

"Really, be happier!" The commander-in-chief smiled, patted Gordon's shoulder hard again, and turned around to leave with brisk steps.

It can be seen that he is in a good mood.

Anhil and Gale on the side also congratulated him.

Gordon scratched his chin, "Are the Nine-Star Hunters the same as Master and Master Samantabhadra? Why do you always feel that you are not so excited?"

Anhir chuckled.

"Because you have been excited about another thing all night."

Ps.

The part about Xuanhuilong is planned to be written with a focus on multi-person investigation and treasure hunting (stealing). There won’t be many combat parts. After all, the rich woman stays underground, and it’s not like the migration of Laoshanlong that will destroy the city. There is no reason to go there. People.

This is a process that can reasonably jump in time, similar to mining protective stones and mining ore weapons.

There is no need to worry about Hayata Gordon's disconnection problem. With how dark Feng Ying's face is, Hayata's postpartum recovery will be almost over once she finds something good.
