Chapter 840: The Troubled East Doruma

The group went to the public tavern.

They didn't go there to drink, as they didn't have the time or mood to drink now, but the master's studio was in the basement of the tavern.

No matter what the atmosphere outside was like, the inside of the tavern was always lively. Most hunters were optimistic and would not be sad because of a mysterious monster whose true form had not yet appeared.

When Gordon and his friends came in, many people raised their glasses to greet them. Some even called Anshil "rich man", which made the latter's face become particularly dark.

He planned to take revenge.

When he had some free time, he would ask someone to give Gale a nickname. What should he call him? Poor guy? Cat head? Nema?

No one knew Anshil's dark thoughts. Gordon was familiar with the way and quickly brought everyone to the master's studio.

After knocking on the door and hearing the response from inside to let him in, Gordon pushed the door open with a smile, "Master, I'm here to see you!"

"Teacher meow!"

"It's you guys." The master who was modifying a drawing looked up.

The other people greeted him one after another, and the master also smiled and said "Welcome".

He wanted to hand over something out of habit, but suddenly found that he didn't prepare any souvenirs. Gordon scratched his neck awkwardly, "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything."

The master waved his hand, "That's why you are always so polite, cough cough cough. Julius never considers these things, everyone find a place to sit.

You are here to ask about the recent situation, right? Is Yanhuo Village going well?"

As a high-level guild leader, the master was present when the elder ordered Yinbian to rush back to Dongdoruma.

Gordon and the others briefly talked about Yanhuo Village. The master was silent for a moment and sighed.

"It's a time of trouble, ahem, everything is happening at once."

Gordon's expression also became serious, "It seems that it's just as I guessed, the tension in Dondoruma is not just because of the attack and destruction of the small fortress."

"Yeah." The master nodded and pulled a chair to sit down, "Ahem. In fact, it can be said that the tense atmosphere in Dondoruma has nothing to do with the fortress."

The people in front of him were all high-level hunters, and the master had no intention of hiding anything. After taking a breath, he continued: "Let me start from the beginning.

You should also feel that in recent years, due to unknown reasons, ancient dragon-related incidents have occurred frequently, ahem, long The old man ordered the guilds in various places to strengthen and repair the city defenses and fortresses, store supplies, and prepare for possible dangers in the future.

Dondoruma is naturally no exception. The guild took the lead in organizing, and the royal family, nobles and merchants funded the comprehensive renovation of Dondoruma Battle Street.

This project started a year or two ago. At present, the city walls and other things are almost built, and the final steps of replacing and installing defensive weapons are being carried out.

The replaced and disassembled weapons, including the first generation of dragon-striking spears, were sent to the destroyed small fortress for storage, waiting for subsequent arrangements. "

Hayata stood up and poured a cup of warm water for the master.

The master took a sip and continued: "Julius and others have been busy with this matter recently, cough cough, collecting some special materials, and clearing transportation routes. "

Gordon was a little embarrassed to hear this. Compared with his senior brother Julius who often helped the master, he was a bit "jumpy" as the second disciple, running around everywhere.

Fortunately, the master did not mean to mock him, and mentioned Julius because of another matter.

"In the process, they found some, cough cough cough... found some traces of the Crazy Dragon virus."

"What?!" Hayata had the biggest reaction among the crowd.

During the time she traveled with the brigade, she had almost been fighting various monsters infected with the Crazy Dragon virus, so she naturally knew how dangerous those things were.

"But, but hasn't the Tenkai Dragon been solved?" Hayata pointed at Ansir, or more precisely, at the Tenkai Dragon armor on Ansir.

At that time, in order to prevent the Tenkai Dragon from reviving again, they took the trouble to burn the corpse into ashes.

"The professor at the Crazy Dragon Disease Research Institute believes that there are two possibilities. One is that there are other black dragons or even Tenkai Dragons in the world.

The other is that the death of the original body does not mean that the virus spores will also die, and the infected monsters will still infect each other."

Hayata fell silent.

"Don't worry." The master comforted her, "The guild has also arranged hunters to follow up on this matter. Ahem. The reappearance of the Mad Dragon Virus can only be regarded as a small part of the recent troubles."

Hayata: "."

You are really good at comforting people.

"The Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau sent an alarm two days ago. They observed that a steel dragon active in the Vlassia region has entered the "molting period", which is the so-called rusty steel dragon.

Steel dragons in this period are very irritable and will actively attack large cities.

Some scholars have put forward a view that rusty steel dragons attack cities not for predation or other reasons, but deliberately provoke battles to assist their molting."

"Just like, some types of snakes will find rough and sharp stones to rub their bodies when molting?" Anshil asked.

"Similar."

The master nodded, "There are many people who support this view. If you consider it from this perspective, ahem

The city it is most likely to attack is East Doruma, which is not too far from the Vlassia region and has a battle street.

After all, that guy came here ten years ago."

Hearing the last half of the sentence, Gordon was startled and looked up at the master, "Is it 'that' steel dragon?!"

"It should be it." The master did not show any abnormality.

But Gordon knew that the steel dragon was the culprit for the master's serious injury and retirement, and it was also Julius's "heart knot".

Julius should not know this news yet, otherwise he would definitely rush back to East Doruma as soon as possible, sharpening his knife and preparing for war.

"Wait." Ansel suddenly spoke up and raised a possibility, "You just said that the steel dragon might attack, so is it possible that the one who attacked the fortress was the steel dragon?"

The one who answered this question was Kurt Aiz, "We also guessed so at the beginning, but after investigation, it seems that it should not be.

Steel dragons are ancient dragons that appear more frequently, and the Ancient Dragon Observatory has also conducted relatively thorough research on their ecology.

Although they are called 'steel dragons', they do not have the habit of eating steel. If the attacker is a steel dragon, the disappearance of steel weapons, dragon-slaying spears and other steel creations cannot be explained."

Gordon rubbed his forehead, " So there are three problems that the headquarters needs to face: the mad dragon disease of unknown origin, the steel dragon that may attack at any time, and the mysterious monster that attacked the fortress and whose true identity is unknown and suspected to be a mantis? "

The master sighed, "It's four, and the biggest trouble has been ignored by you. Ahem, I just mentioned that the battle street facilities in Dongduoluma are being replaced and upgraded.

The new dragon-slaying spear that is being installed is still in the running-in and debugging stage, and the ultimate weapon for ancient dragons, the 'Dragon-slaying Cannon', has not yet been fully completed.

Ahem. At this moment, Dongduoluma cannot be said to be completely defenseless, but it is also in a state of lack of defense. "

The hunters looked at each other. No wonder the air pressure around the old man was so low when they met the elder before.

It turns out that the pressure is all in his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels

"Is there anything we can help with in terms of defense preparation?" Hayata asked with some concern.

The master smiled at her, "Ahem. No need, the guild is trying to mobilize more forces, you just need to do your job right now, that is, find out the true identity of the monster that attacked the fortress."

Ps.

The plot of 4g has been reorganized and mixed (adaptation is inevitable), which can be understood as the original plot is happening, but the protagonist and others are not following the original plot, but working in other directions.

Of course, there may be some intersections.

This is a large comprehensive event, and it is impossible to rely on one person or a few people to solve all the problems.

Whether it is the author or the protagonists of this book, they are just a part of the big event.
