Chapter 571: A Path to War
The door to the barracks was quietly shut, leaving only the people looking at each other inside.
"The guild scrivener is really not ordinary, I have never seen a hunter speak to an instructor in that tone." In the slaughter of the house, only Xiong Fuji's focus is still elsewhere. Since the first encounter at the challenge festival, the little hunting group has not had a particularly good impression of this literati, but now they are afraid of Lu Yingying, so they have not said it directly.
"Sealing the dust violates the laws of the union?" Lu Xiu pondered for a moment before picking out the key point in Lu Wen's words before leaving, "Will the hunters have a rule that they are not allowed to kill the ancient dragon species?" ”
Old Ai Lu turned around on the table and looked at the teenagers of the small hunting group behind him: "Although most of the time it is used to be shelved, the union does have clear rules for fighting with the ancient dragon species. ”
Given that the adult elder dragon species is the most important ecological pillar of a hunting ground most of the time, theoretically speaking, the Hunters' Guild is only eligible to give orders to kill the elder dragon after the presidency has voted on and is approved by more than half of the members. However, the world of hunters is constantly changing, and the threat of natural disasters can befall the world at any time, and if a major city is directly attacked by an ancient dragon, or if it has to suffer a devastating blow because of an ancient dragon, the elders of the place can vote on whether to kill it or not.
However, counting all the important towns in the entire continent, there are only a handful of them that have the ability to protect themselves under the hands of the ancient dragons, not to mention the ability to counteract or even kill under the attacks of the ancient dragons. Just looking at the entire Locklack's heavy hunting gear, you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard at the height of the Fengshan Dragon's levitation. This is true of the headquarters of the Hunters' Guild, and of course the cities that thrive on commerce or resources are even more powerless. Therefore, such regulations have always been on paper, and have little practical significance.
"In short, the battle against the ancient dragon species and even the dragon family must be allowed by the top management of the trade union." Luo Pingyang explained after the teacher's words.
"So, what did Feng Dust do wrong?" The white-clothed hunter still heard in a fog, "Is killing Fengshan Dragon without the permission of the union considered poaching?" ”
"It's just the most trivial of the charges against him." Nie Xiaoyang spread his hands and said, "Fengshan Dragon is the beacon of the order of the sand sea, and killing him is equivalent to deliberately destroying the order of the hunting ground, destroying the environment of the hunting ground, and destroying all the property of the trade union on the hunting ground. The young man folded his hands and counted, "And the 'hunting ground' here is probably calculated in a radius of thousands of kilometers." ”
"If these consequences are weighed on Feng Chen, if converted into poaching, it is worth 10,000 poaching." The boy pessimistically concluded, "In short, when the union reacts, he will be completely finished." ”
"Add to that the crossbow he brought back to town," Xiong added with a glittering eye, "and if found out by the union, it would be another crime of illegal possession of strategic weapons." But it's a shame you two didn't see that gun. The stout boy smacked his lips, "That's probably the most perfect weapon I've ever seen in my life." ”
"Stop!" The little head straightened up and said angrily, "Feng Chen is still here, it's not your turn to list his crimes." ”
"Miss Qin." Jia Xiao made a gesture of calmness, "We all know that the fall of the Fengshan Dragon is certainly not the reason why the dust boy is alone. He had just regained his freedom from the Swamp and was involved in such an incident, and we were all worried about it alike. No one here wants to gloat, but we don't even have the option to intervene and help without figuring out what's going to happen next. Instructor Anfei, how much did you disclose to the union about Fengshan Long's request? ”
"It's just the most basic death." Old Ailu pricked up her ears and said, this is the best compromise that the legendary hunter can make in the face of human righteousness and the safety of students, "But sooner or later, the union will find you and return to mine." ”
"Then we don't have much time left...... Jia Xiao pressed his fists to his temples, "If the matter is really as serious as Lu Shushi said, we must at least be prepared to let Feng Chen evacuate safely." ”
"'Safe evacuation'? What is the meaning? Lu Yingying pinched the placket of her clothes and said nervously, "Let the dust be sealed...... Do you want to be a defector hunter? ”
"That's a last resort." Shentu Miaoling was very calm, "At least I can't accept that I surrender my life to the Knights because of a crime that doesn't belong to him - I've lived in it for a month, and no one wants to stay in that kind of place all the time." ”
Listening to the gossip of his companions, Lu Xiu silently looked at Feng Chen, and the little hunter, who should have been the core of the discussion, was sitting silently on the edge at the moment. The dragonman poked his companion's body with his elbow, "Dust boy, you have something to say." ”
As if interrupted by his fellow villagers, the one-star hunter slowly raised his head. As he moved, the increasingly heated conversation in the room ceased for a moment.
"Thank you for your concern, but no matter what the union is going to do with me, I'm willing to bear it." Feng Chen's voice was gloomy and heavy, "There are more urgent things than my safety now...... The war is about to begin. ”
"'War'? What does that mean exactly? You remember that Lu Shushi, who had just left, also said the same thing, Qin Shuiyu stared at the flickering fire on the table, his eyes were shocked, "We...... Is there another war with the ancient dragons? ”
The little Orion's gaze paused at Amphinis, who stroked his beard with his hand and seemed to reply: "All those present are your companions, and this decision is up to you." ”
"Understood, instructor." Feng Chen bowed and nodded, and when he sat down again, his eyes had erased the cloudiness of the days, and became clear and refreshed.
The next moment, an obscure voice rang out from the cranial cavity of everyone in the hut. It was not the first time that the hunters had seen the dragon cavity of the sealed dust, and they were listening quietly with bated breath. The voice lingered in the minds of his companions three times before slowly dissipating, and Feng Chen's expression returned to the gloom after the battle.
"What is this?" The little scribe blinked, "The language of the Ailu?" ”
"No......," the cat shook her head, "and these syllables are hard to pronounce even with our mouths." ”
"It's the language of dragons, the language of communication between ancient dragons." Feng Chen explained. This voice was heard by Amphinis when the boy was still in Golden Feather City. Dragon language was not originally a language medium of oral speaking, and the legend hunters at the time did not paraphrase it standardly, so Feng Chen couldn't understand the meaning of these words for a while, "like a proverb recited between ancient dragon species," the one-star hunter carefully considered the wording, "or something like rules and contracts." ”
"The second time I heard it, it was already the last moment of Mo Lan's life." Feng Chen recalled, "That guy walked out of my field of vision for a long time, and this passage finally dissipated in my mind. ”
"What do you mean by these?" Seeing the seriousness of the little hunter, Jia Xiao had a bad premonition in his heart.
"The gist of it is that there is an ancient peace between the true dragon and the humans, and the bond of peace can only be broken three times, once by accident and twice by hostility." Feng Chen paused, "Three times, it's war." ”
