The moment he took out the wooden box, the elder became solemn. The square box is about the size of a palm, with a layer of ancient wood grain carved on the outside, and the color of the box tire is dull, and it seems to have been some years old. However, the moth-proof transparent paint seems to have just been applied, and even the dead corners of the texture have not been spared, and it is obvious that the old man has only carefully maintained it before he arrived.

"It's ......"

The old man shook Qin Hu's weak hands, handed the box to him, and motioned for Captain Dragonmare to open it. Qin Hu lifted the lid of the box in confusion, only to see that the box contained a strip of crimson brocade, and the satin was lined with four small copper badges. The gold background of the badge is carved with two wyvern species with intertwined bodies, and the monster stands with its back to the right, each stretching out a wide wing to the left and right, and several five-pointed stars are interspersed under the pattern, which is clearly the most common union hunter bronze medal system.

The moment they saw these badges, the injured person's face changed greatly, he closed the lid of the box suddenly, and without hesitation, he pushed the elder's hand far away: "Elder...... How does this fit? ”

As if he had known that Qin Hu would refuse, the old man under the robe shook his head, and Shi Shiran completely opened the lid of the box and placed it on the low table at the head of the bed. The hunters stretched their necks in unison to see that the bottom row of the badge was clearly adorned with six bronze stars.

"What does that mean?" Luo Pingyang asked in a deep voice, he only felt that his mouth was a little dry.

"Like I said, it's a gift from the union to all the Dragonmares, and you deserve the reward." The robed old man explained, stroking the angular texture on the surface of the badge, "This is not an ordinary star badge, but the highest honor that the guild can bestow on incumbent hunters." The only people who can get the six-star badge are hunters who have made special contributions to the union. Its issuance requires the approval of more than seventy percent of the members of the presidency and is comparable to the appointment and removal of a presidency office. Ancient Lin Yizhan Your performance has been recognized by the entire guild, and the last time the same badge was awarded was decades ago. ”

"My lord, before you came to the research institute, you never told me that there was such a thing!" There was a little more doubt in Morin's eyes.

"Of course, the award of medals will not be meaningful until you gather like today, right?" The old man sighed, "The identity of the Dragonmare Squad is special, your past entrustment involves the confidential information of a number of trade unions, and the union is not good at commending you with great fanfare, so I can only temporarily wronged you." ”

"Don't underestimate a badge, it's not just a reputation. With it, from now on, regardless of your actual rank, you will be deemed to have all the privileges of a five-star hunter. On top of that, if you are promoted to 5 stars one day, and you are not required to fulfill the regular service and requisition obligations of the top hunters, all of Locklac's assignments to the members of the Dragonmare Squad will be issued in the form of non-mandatory commissions. ”

"This badge allows you to participate in the deliberations of the various chapters of the New World, and the Dragonmare can take the initiative to initiate nominations and impeachments of deacon-level officials, not to mention its own prestige and appeal......

The elder's words fell on the heads of the three hunters like a series of cannons. Dragonmare hunters are never obsessed with politics, and the terms of participation in the deliberations are unappealing to them, but the benefits beyond that are tangible. Intelligence and resources are the basic conditions for starting a hunt, and the guild has opened up the vast majority of the intelligence base to them in one go, which means that the entire hunter guild has become their eyes, and with the influence of this badge, it will no longer be difficult to gather the manpower and supplies to support the big hunt.

What's more, the promise of not having to fulfill union obligations has turned the Dragonmare into a half-free team. As long as it is not for the purpose of subverting the union and not against the glory of the hunters, the actions of the hunters will no longer be constrained by the union. Just wait for everyone to be promoted to five stars, and you can fight any powerful monster you like with your own heart. This undoubtedly has a deadly charm for the Dragonmare Squad that targets the Hunter's Apex - all this until today, of course.

The eyes of the injured were in a trance, but Luo Pingyang was the first to come back to his senses. He hugged Anfei in his arms: "It's not fair! Ah Shao's whereabouts are still unknown in the dragon graveyard, but you walk in on your own and tell us that the dragon nightmare has become a hero of the Hunters' Guild overnight? With such an honor, the Dragonmare Squad will not be blessed! ”

"Listen...... "The old head raised his hand to suppress Luo Pingyang's anger, "At the meeting, the presidency also considered your lost companions in the ancient forest. The guild will spare no effort in recovering Bai Shao, but that does not conflict with the honor given to you. ”

The old man held the box in his hand, and the sunlight poured in from the window, shining on the golden medal with a strange luster: "Since such an honor will be awarded to the dragon night sooner or later, I think it is better to simply bring it forward." The union deeply regrets what happened to you, and I just hope that you will have a thought in your recovery and be better off in your hospital bed. ”

"As for Bai Shao, you can rest assured." The old man in the robe counted the badges in the box with his fingertips, "Of course, the honor here also has his share, and no matter when the young man returns, the union will guarantee to prepare a more formal award ceremony for the dragonmare; In case something really happens to him, the union can also guarantee that he will ...... as a hero."

"Elder, I beg of you...... Don't say any more. Qin Hu's hand clenched the railing by the window tightly, and the green tendons on his forehead suddenly appeared, as if he was suppressing some emotion, "No matter what, the dragon nightmare will not accept this gift from the union." I know better than anyone that we have done nothing worthy of praise in the ancient forest. ”

"Of course you did, and you did it well." The elder said firmly, "The hunting ground you rushed to is an important channel for exchanges between the two countries, and it is also an extremely important resource production place. If it weren't for the Dragonmares' fight for their lives, the Ancient Forest would have been a wasteland before the Guild took over. The Dragonmare Squad saved Baiqi Town and spared dozens of large and small settlements around the Ancient Forest, isn't such a feat worthy of a six-star badge? ”

The captain glanced at Mo Lin suspiciously, thinking that his companion had made a mistake in the commission report, but seeing that the heavy sword hunter's eyebrows were raised, he took a big step back, looked at the rickety president with a cold face and said, "Sure enough...... Is this the story that the unions are going to tell to the masses in both countries? He suddenly became excited, and could not help but exclaim, "Hunter glory, we have lost completely!" ”

As the airship rises from the other end of the cliff, the Elder Dragons continue its relentless destruction in the graveyard. Looking down from the air, with the battlefield as the center, all the hunting grounds within 100 kilometers were affected by the talent of the skeleton dragon. More than a dozen kilometers near the center have been turned into white ground, and even the temporary camp area where the hunters once settled has not been spared, and the forests farther away are also withered, and the battleship has traveled seventy or eighty kilometers before faintly seeing traces of birds and beasts.

"The ecology of the entire hunting ground has been destroyed, there are remnants of the power of the ancient dragon species, and it may take decades to completely recover!" The dwarf hunter put his hands on his forehead and scratched his hair twice, "And the village of Pattin...... Hell......"

"What's wrong with the village?" Qin Hu struggled to sit up, but his waist was fixed by a thin belt, so he could only raise his head slightly, "Is it still invaded by the skeleton dragon?" ”

"There's no 'Patin Village' anymore." Morin covered his face with his hands, revealing two bloodshot eyes. Shortly after the Dragonmare's hunting ship left, lightning of unusual scale was observed over the cemetery. With the blessing of talent, the arc of the ancient dragon species seems to be able to easily attract living creatures, and the nearest human settlement is precisely the village of Patin, where the team once settled.

"The lightning spewed directly from the dragon's mouth, more like breath...... The diameter of the arc is tens of meters thick, and it spreads several kilometers away without any reduction in power. With thunder and lightning of that scale, the dragon released more than a dozen in one go, and one of them went straight towards Pading Village. ”

"Before that, less than 30 percent of the civilians had been evacuated from the village." Morin's throat choked, "When the disaster happened, the union dispatched airships and three temporarily requisitioned merchant ships were rushing in, but there was no new news until now, and I am afraid that it has been ......."

Listening to his companion's story, Qin Hu's eyes lit up, and his ears suddenly felt as if a sonic boom bomb had been activated, and he roared, "It's all my fault......

"I gave the order to evacuate, if I can hold on a little longer......" When Captain Dragonmare awoke, the civilians of Patin Village returned the Hunter's airship and pointed him to a safe passage into the cemetery. However, at that time, the battle situation was urgent, and the team members were seriously injured, and he had to direct the driver to leave the chaotic war zone first.

"Hell! That Shun ......" Luo Pingyang slapped the bed violently, his teeth clucking, "is that kind of hunter a meaningless death?" ”

"It's everyone's fault at Dragonmares." The short hunter looked at the silent robed old man beside him: "In the entire settlement, hundreds of households, now there is only a charred pit left, but the dragon nightmare still needs to get a six-star hunter badge for this." What's to be done? Humiliate us? ”

"You're not a rookie in training camp anymore." The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "You should know that not all commissions will be completed perfectly. The ancient dragon plague did not spread, and that was the most important thing. ”

Dozens of large and small settlements on the side survived, isn't such a feat worthy of a six-star badge? ”

The captain glanced at Mo Lin suspiciously, thinking that his companion had made a mistake in the commission report, but seeing that the heavy sword hunter's eyebrows were raised, he took a big step back, looked at the rickety president with a cold face and said, "Sure enough......
