Chapter 756 Coincidence? Multiple Insurance?
"Since the so-called 'king' is sleeping there, it must not be an ordinary tower."
The professor pondered, "Assuming that the 'king' is a forbidden existence, there should be only three places in the known world that can be called 'towers', where the forbidden may reside.
The ancient pyramid in the submerged forest, the ancient tower deep in the forest of Fenglong, and the sky corridor on the isolated island in the far sea."
"It can't be the sky corridor." The elder shook his head and ruled out one of the possibilities. "The sky corridor is too big and too high. The area that the investigation team barely confirmed alone has more than 500 floors. The total The height is more than a thousand floors.
There are countless monsters with extremely high danger levels, and there are also "foreigners" guarding.
Even if the whole guild is mobilized, regardless of casualties, it will take at least several generations to eliminate the monsters inside the Sky Corridor.
If the "tower" in the proverb refers to the Sky Corridor, then this warning is meaningless, because it is an impossible task.
And it should come directly to me instead of looking for a few young hunters. "
Listening to the exchange between the two old men, Gordon, who thought he had seen a lot, couldn't help but open his mouth.
There are ruins with more than a thousand floors in this world? Even if each floor is only three meters, the building height cannot exceed three thousand meters??!
The professor continued, "The ancient pyramid in the submerged forest is also unlikely. The ruins are large enough, so it's not surprising that an ancient dragon lives there, but the territory of a taboo-level existence will not change easily.
Last year, an archaeological team fully explored the ancient pyramid and did not find any particularly dangerous monsters. The Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau has not found any unusual movements in the submerged forest area."
"It seems that the ancient tower deep in the mysterious forest of Fenglong should be the only one that meets the conditions." The elder said slowly, "Our understanding of the forest and the ruins of the ancient tower is too vague.
To be honest, I would not find it strange if there is anything sleeping in it. Maybe, we should send a team to investigate it carefully..."
"You can't go in!"
"Guard! Stop it!"
There was a sudden commotion outside the hall door. The elder ignored the movement and frowned in thought.
The Silver Edge Hunting Group is good enough, but this matter may involve taboos. He is a little worried about putting all the 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 intensified, and there was even a sound of fighting, which interrupted the thoughts of the elder.
The grumpy old man raised his head with displeasure, and slammed the huge sword in his hand, which was as thick as a doorpost. The dull sound of thunder and a deafening shout echoed throughout the elder's hall.
"Who!"
The noise outside the door stopped for a while, and the intruder seemed to be caught, but its sharp voice continued to penetrate through the heavy wooden door, "Help meow! See the elder! Please. Meow!"
A guild staff member hurried in, nervously bowed to the elder, and quickly reported: "A Melalu tried to break into the elder's hall and was stopped by the guild knight."
"Melalu?"
Under the elder's dissatisfied glare, the staff trembled a little. He hesitated for half a second, but continued to explain: "It should be a hunting partner of a hunter. Its owner seems to be in danger, so it wants to ask you for help directly."
This kind of thing happens occasionally.
In general, it should go to the counter of the assembly hall to issue an emergency rescue mission, but it often takes some time to find a hunter willing to undertake the rescue mission.
Some people are anxious and can't wait, so they will try to find the guild supervisor or even the elder. If they agree to directly assign a high-level hunter to rescue, the efficiency will be much higher.
But the upper hunters are not firefighters after all. If they do this every time, the upper hunters will not have to do anything else.
Therefore, unless the situation is special, the elders rarely agree to send the upper hunters directly to carry out rescue. Regardless of whether they agree or not, the behavior of breaking into the elders' hall will always be punished afterwards.
The elder whose thoughts were interrupted was obviously not in a good mood, but thinking that there were hunters in danger, he softened his heart a little, "Let it come in and explain the situation."
Soon, a guild knight with fine scratches on his face came in with a dusty Meralu.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the Melalu was obviously a little scared, but thinking of the current situation of its master, it plucked up the courage with trembling whiskers, "Our master has received the task of hunting the Swift Dragon meow, in Fenglong's forest meow, and it is also a task to be promoted to five stars meow!
We severely injured that Swift Dragon meow, and then chased it into a huge ruin deep in the forest meow, but a strange Boom Dragon rushed out and bit the Swift Dragon to death with one bite meow!
That red Boom Dragon is too powerful meow, and its roar is very loud, like a barrel of bombs meow! It really explodes meow!
We can't beat it at all, and the master is blocked in the ruins. He stopped the Boom Dragon to create an opportunity for us to run out for help meow"
Gordon and others looked strange, as did the elder and the professor.
The girl in ancient costume, the motto about ‘noise’, the ruins of the ancient tower, the roaring alien dragon, the hunter in distress, and Melalu’s call for help
All of this is too coincidental, as if someone has carefully arranged all the links and put the timing together precisely.
Just to get the guild to send a high-level hunter 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, seven, seven-star difficulty, no one 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, but if the danger is far beyond their own strength, then they can only say sorry.
"How long ago did you encounter that red booming dragon?" Gordon suddenly asked Melalu.
"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 some rescue! "
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?"
"That's what I think." 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 allows us to deal with the noisy monsters. It belongs to both directions.
Although there are still many things that are not logically logical, she...it probably had no intention of arranging things to be so reasonable and perfect. It was enough to trick us into solving the problem. "
Hayata raised his hand and said: "My view is a little different, maybe this is not 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? ?”
"It makes sense." Anhil nodded, and then asked the great elder, "So, is there such a mission?"
The great elder was stunned for a moment and called over a female dragon scribe, "Go and check to see if there are any strange task documents. Pay special attention to the person who issued the task, a girl in ancient clothes and so on."
The Dragon 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.

After glancing at these two simple and substandard task documents, Gordon couldn't help but swear, "Damn it, it's really multiple insurances, why the hell are they still on both ends?"
