"Thanks to the two six-star badges, Ah Yang can continue to stay in the best medical institution to recover, and little Anfei has finally gotten rid of the identity of Ai Lu who accompanied him, and now he is a genuine in-service hunter like us." Mo Lin smiled wistfully, he shook the wine bottle, handed it to Bai Shao beside him, and said, "They didn't do anything wrong, they just seized the opportunity, and I can only wish them good luck." Leave it to them if you want, and every second I see it makes me feel a sense of shame - none of the things we've done in that dragon tomb can afford to be called a 'hero'. ”

"Sure enough, do you feel that way?" Bai Shao was about to raise his head to drink, but when he heard this, he put down the bottle. His eyes cleared a little, and he looked at the misty night sky outside the window: "During the time after waking up, in addition to trying to survive on the territory of the dragon, what I thought about the most was the situation of the hunt - something was wrong in the commission. ”

The new deacon restrained his drinking, and said with a calm face, "Have you found anything?" ”

"After escaping from the feet of the ancient dragon, I couldn't unfreeze the hunt in Scarlet, and I couldn't find your whereabouts, so I managed to return to Lyrak again."

"Isn't the village of Padin ruined?"

"Indeed, when I returned, the village was left in ruins. The entire hunting ground is either dry or scorched, and even the surrounding hunting area has been affected, and it may take several years to fill in the ecology and rebuild the village. Bai Shao shook his head, erasing the tragic scene from his mind, "All in all, I found the few villagers in Pading Village who were originally rescued in Baiqi Town—" he laughed at himself, "The only good thing about this appearance is that no matter who likes or hates me, they are no longer recognizable." ”

"It can't be that the villagers are hiding some information from us, right?"

"Quite the opposite, Arin." The white-armored hunter's face darkened, "It's not the villagers who are hiding information from us, it's the hunter union. ”

"That ancient dragon species isn't a threat that has only recently appeared in the Ancient Forest. It had existed at the bottom of the cemetery for many years before the village of Patin was built. "Skeleton dragons don't like to migrate, and for the "aging" ancient dragon species, the valley full of skeletons and corpses, full of dead intent, is the best place for it to live. If you want to create a "cemetery" in the hunting grounds, you need to cultivate the habits of each species in the territory. Even if you rely on the talent of the ancient dragon species, it will take several generations of accumulation to see results.

"The skeleton dragon has been lurking in the cemetery in that semi-sleeping state, waking up every long time, just to eat and change its sleeping position. Every time it wakes up, its abilities interfere with the life cycle of the animals and plants in the forest, and there are some anomalies in the hunting grounds - the trees grow out of season, the monsters are in heat and abnormal deaths, and even cause restlessness and small animal tides - sound familiar? ”

"It's exactly the same as what the intelligence chronicles say......" Merlin swallowed, "The hunter is glorious, but the guild at that time marked the 'state of emergency' on the intelligence!" ”

"Lyrak has experience dealing with these kinds of incidents, and the local civilians are used to it." Bai Shao continued, "I have compiled from the villagers' tales, although there are no records that are too old, but in the past hundred years, the recovery cycle of the skeleton dragon has been relatively stable. Extrapolating from this way, even if that guy really wants to destroy the ecology there on a whim one day, I'm afraid it will be hundreds of years later. ”

As if something had finally broken through in his head, Maureen slapped the chair heavily: "I should have thought of it a long time ago!" There are legends about it in the village, as well as the villagers' knowledge of the topography of the Dragon Tomb...... They called that guy 'God,' and that wasn't something that could be formed overnight. Could it be that our commission should not have happened in the first place? ”

There was no so-called "emergency" in the ancient forest hunting ground, and the intervention of the Dragonmare Squad lost its original reason. The trip to the Dragon's Tomb has changed from a "passive response" to an active provocation against the ancient dragon species, even if it leads to the same result, but the nature has completely changed. The new deacon's mind exploded, and his voice became trembling: "That's nearly a thousand innocent civilians!" We do this...... It's already the equivalent of murder, right? Damn it! If you can collect more information in the village......"

"Our commission deadline is so tight, we are almost about to head to the hunting ground as soon as we settle down, how can we have extra time to investigate?" Bai Shao shook his head helplessly, "Even if you do it again, no one will be suspicious of that information, right?" ”

The dwarf hunter forced himself to breathe a few times, but still couldn't calm his mind. He caught a glimpse of the bottle in his companion's hand, snatched it with his hand, and took a big gulp. The warmth mixed with the pungency poured into his throat, and Merlin calmed down a little, and he asked tentatively, "You say, is it possible that the Hunters Guild...... Got something wrong? ”

"When I first heard this, I couldn't believe it." The White-Armored Hunter sighed, "But this is not a 'mistake', it is a misleading Guild on us, and they are intent on letting the Dragonmare do it. ”

"Although most of the details of the ancient dragons are locked up in the royal libraries of various countries, these are not in the terms of information secrecy. As long as you have the heart, you can investigate it with a little time. With the importance that the union attaches to intelligence, can't it compare to me, the guy who has lost the hunter's badge? ”

Merlin was silent, but his mind was racing fast.

"We just trust the union's intelligence too much...... They're very smart, and you and I won't ask much about the purpose of the commission in the past, as long as there is no shortage of information related to the battle. But can you imagine? Before the Ancient Forest, how many of these so-called 'mistakes' were there in the commissions we made? Or is it that since the formation of the Dragonmare, which mission is really to save something? Bai Shao lowered his head and looked at his thin legs, "I just can't figure out why the union wants us to do such a thing." ”

"I know." The new deacon shoved the bottle into his companion's arms, got up and paced to his desk, opened a locked drawer, and rummaged through it, "That four-star hunter from Patin, he's right...... We are a threat at the hands of the Hunters' Guild - look at this. ”

"What is it?" Bai Shao got together, took the heavy document bag thrown by his companion, and studied it by the light in the office.

"Sorted out these days, our commissions from various periods, and things that I think are relevant." "Remember the time in Lakeland, half a month after the heavy damage to the hunting grounds, the royal family of Pirecente announced that the hunting grounds south of the Lakeland would be opened to the union branches of the kingdoms of the New World. ”

Bai Shao flipped through the pages, and the documents in the bag were varied, from commissioned reports to dignitary filings, meeting minutes, and even street rumors, some of the documents were only accessible to the deacon level, and the expensive pages were sandwiched in the middle, which was particularly eye-catching: "You should have done the work of a deacon, is this what is this?" ”

"Not exactly." Morin replied vaguely, and then added, "And the dragon of the volcano, before we set out, Ryan Yeru promised to develop the two mines of the North Peak and the Hunters' Guild together. I think that's why our commission was cancelled at that time. ”

"Joint development ......" Bai Shao duly flipped to a statement by Lane Yelu, and repeated the word meaningfully.

"Not only that, but almost every time we commission it, Scarlet ...... In other words, the Hunters' Guild has a big movement outside the borders - opening up hunting grounds and adding supply points, and every time the Guild can get great benefits from it. ”

"What about the Southern Snow Mountains this time?" The white-armored hunter held up a power of attorney, "No reaction has been gathered here. ”

"It's better to notice what they haven't done." Mo Lin seemed to be familiar with this document, "Before that, the Kingdom of Xuenan had intended to follow the example of Ryan Yelu to formulate a law of the integration of military hunting and hunting, but it was not surprising that it was not surprising that it was not done - remember what we did in the mountains? ”

"Ah...... I'll never forget that scene. Bai Shao closed his eyes and said with some fear, "When that mountain rolled down with an avalanche, I thought it would be the last commission of the dragonmare." ”

"These doubts were planted in the village of Pattin, and for months I wanted to prove my theory through them." Merlin looked straight at his companion, "But my authority is insufficient, and many key documents are not within my reach as an ordinary deacon. All I can piece together is a coincidence...... Until today. ”

"So in this case, we are the executioners of the Hunters' Guild." The white-armored hunter put the documents together and shook his head in disbelief, "All along, the union has been sparing no effort to promote the glory of hunters, but in the end, it is doing something behind the scenes in exchange for the lives of civilians?" The Hunters' Guild shouldn't be like this, and the world shouldn't be like this......"

"Arin!" His eyes suddenly lit up, "We still have a chance to correct this." ”

"We just trust the union's intelligence too much......
