Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1265 1237. [Taboo] possibility

 “The blue light point invisible to ordinary people. What is it guiding?”

The commander-in-chief pinched his chin, frowned and whispered.

 Lan En had already talked about this phenomenon during the Molten Dragon resistance battle.

At that time, they also kept it in mind, but they were not sure whether this was a phenomenon unique to the New World ecology.

  After all, there are countless magical creatures and magical environments in this world, and there are interactions between creatures and the environment.

 This is an entire continent, and the effective exploration time for thousands of humans on it is only a dozen years.

 It is normal for completely unseen phenomena to be discovered.

 Just because it corresponds to the time when the Laoshan Dragon appeared abnormal, it cannot be concluded that this phenomenon is related to the abnormal activities of the ancient dragon.

  But if we add this time.

Although Yanwanglong likes the gunpowder of the investigation team, it is significantly different from its normal biological habits to directly break into a transit base that it has never been to before.

 Researchers from the Institute of Ecology also studied Yanwangsaurus during the few days it lay in the Second Arena.

 I think this Yanwang dragon seems to be a little confused in its sense of direction sometimes.

 But for creatures like ancient dragons, is there really a time when their bodies lose their sense of direction?

 “If it is a illusory light that can enchant even ancient dragons”

At this time, the swordsman who was originally sitting behind the Commander-in-Chief, serving as the ballast of the star stronghold’s combat power, also sat upright and spoke in a low tone.

 “Then maybe this thing.”

　　The old voice of the swordsman master making a sound under his helmet did not convey enough meaning.

However, the commander-in-chief, who didn't even look back, also turned serious at the same time.

 It seems that the two comrades who have experienced most of their lives have understood each other's meaning without saying a word.

 Being able to confuse all ancient dragon species regardless of their species, this ability is only possible above ordinary ancient dragon species.

 In the rules of hunters, they generally call this creature - "taboo".

 ‘A creature whose name can cause panic among those who know it’.

 The most deadly and well-known [taboo] monster

 The Commander-in-Chief and the Sword Master subconsciously turned their faces in a distant direction.

That is the Old Continent, the site of ancient human civilization, and the direction of the ancient King Shuret City.

 Why is it called ‘ancient civilization’? Of course it means that the civilization has died.

 The "thing" that lost civilization is still entrenched there.

  Does this kind of ‘thing’ actually exist in the New World?

　　“This is not a trivial level.”

 The sword master, who had never expressed his opinion in meetings, also stood up from the bench at this time.

This action made Ai Bo, who had always been very nervous, feel a little dazed.

“It’s just a guess now.” The commander-in-chief shook his head at first, but then frowned. "But since it's related to the [Taboo], even if it's just a guess, we have to report it to the guild."

“When does the next ocean-going ship of the supply class leave?”

"Still preparing." Aibo raised his hand and said, "I heard that we have to wait half a month before we can set sail!"

Everything that needs to be done in the Xingchen Stronghold is open to the public. After all, there are only so many people. If the workers know about it, it means everyone knows about it.

　　Sometimes it is common to say a few words while eating.

Ai Bo, who stayed the longest at the Weapons and Lynx Pavilion, and even served a plate of steaks and chicken drumsticks as "stuffing snacks" there every day when reading and writing notes, could be said to be well-informed in a sense.

“If we set sail in half a month, we won’t be back until half a year later.”

 The commander-in-chief lowered his head and estimated the itinerary of the ocean-going ship.

This journey is quite fast.

 Because the Hunter Guild allocates the best ocean-going ships and sailors to the New World Survey Team.

 In addition, the craftsmanship technology in this world is actually very powerful, and the material science is even more exaggerated because of the materials of the monsters, so that we can achieve such efficiency of traveling across oceans.

In Lan En's home world, if an ocean-going ship in the sixteenth century wanted to take this route, the voyage time plus midway supplies would have to be calculated in years.

The possibility of a [taboo] made the Commander-in-Chief dare not issue even a prudent order like 'investigation'.

 But the good news is that in the current survey activities of the New World Survey Team, no areas that are particularly different from the natural environment have been found.

 Although ancient dragons can also change the environment, they generally follow their own habits.

Flame King Dragon will tend to live in high-heat areas such as volcanoes, while Steel Dragon will tend to live on the tops of windy mountains.

 So even if the Flame King Dragon passes by the ground, it will produce magma, and the Steel Dragon can cause a storm even if it doesn't flap its wings.

 In fact, their ability to transform the environment is not great under normal circumstances. After all, the habitat is just like that.

But [Taboos], the environmental changes they cause are far more significant than ordinary ancient dragons.

“Carry out normal investigation activities first, and don’t delve too much into possible [taboos].”

 Finally, the Commander-in-Chief sets the tone for the period. "We need the experience and judgment of the guild to support it. It would be best if there is information from the Old Continent. Even a few words can be helpful. And"

As he spoke, the commander-in-chief’s dark face raised and looked at Lan En.

“As the only one among us who can see the ‘invisible blue light spot’, you should leave too, right?”

The witcher nodded calmly, confirming the commander-in-chief's statement.

 His main purpose for returning to the New World this time was clearly stated. It was to dispose of the body of the Tyrannosaurus, the master of the Mist Nest, and ask the master craftsmen from the two worlds to work together to perfect his armor. Later, he also added the task of driving away the Flame King dragon.

Now that everything has been completed, and based on the progress of Tisaya's theoretical research during this period, she calculated that the tide of chaotic magic is also approaching in the Magical Middle Ages.

 So it’s time to leave.

At least, if the investigation team starts investigating the 'invisible blue light spots' now, he will definitely not be able to catch up.

“Whether it’s this precious observation ability or this combat capability, it seems that you are already an indispensable force for us.”

 The sword master crossed his arms and looked at the young demon hunter, and said with some emotion.

 He still remembered the scene when Lan En met them for the first time.

At that time, the witcher was like a hedgehog who looked cute but was actually very nervous.

 After they discovered that he was from another world, their first reaction was to be on guard and prepare to take action.

 But now

The swordsman master looked at the calm Lan En. Under his helmet, the powerful hunter who was no longer young showed a smile.

 “You still have your ‘prey’, so let’s do this for now.”

 The Commander-in-Chief was the same. He looked at the hunter he had ‘specially recruited’ into the investigation team with great satisfaction.

“When your ‘hunting’ is completed and the information from the Old Continent arrives, we will investigate further.”

 After saying that, the commander-in-chief smiled a little with his serious black face.

“Of course, if that thing makes trouble first, we won’t wait for you.”

"Then I hope I can catch up." Lan En also smiled and shook his head, "I am still very interested in it, whether it is combat or research."

—

 After finishing talking about the Flame King Dragon and Yan Fei Dragon, Lan En turned around and went to the processing room on the second floor of Xingchen.

Destroying the Flame King Dragon occupying the second arena was originally a task directly issued by the processing house, so I had to tell others.

 After entering the processing house, the place was the same as before. It was still a lively and red scene illuminated by the steel-making furnace.

Berengar and the leader of the second phase of the regiment were still holding the parts of the master-level Bear School armor that Lan En had replaced, and they seemed to be communicating.

　　After seeing Lan En walk in, the two of them immediately came over excitedly.

　　When driving away a Flame King Dragon, with Wen De and Lan En around, they didn't even think about failure.

 The two of them are more interested now.

 “How is the performance of this one? And Wende’s one?”

The strong arm of the leader of the second-phase regiment slapped Lan En's arm armor with a bang.

At the same time, the one eye came closer and carefully observed the marks on the armor.

“No problem at all.” Lan En raised his hand cooperatively, and the dragon scales on the back of his hand spread out as he opened and closed his palm. "It can withstand the flames of the Flame Fei Dragon, and its physical strength is also very strong."

“Oh! Let me tell you! If our craftsmanship is paired with this powerful material, it’s a good idea!”

 The leader of the second phase of the group first crossed his arms and laughed very proudly, but then he realized what was going on and his face was confused.

 “Hmm? Yanfeilong?”

 Lan En described the scene of three ancient dragons crowded into an arena, and it was immediately clear what role the ancient dragon played as the leader of the second phase of the group. Even just hearing the description made him grind his teeth.

Two Yangyan dragons, one of which almost launched a [supernova]. The arena he built almost turned into a volcano crater.

But on the other hand, he and Berengar are quite proud.

 Because the two sets of armor they created were quite good on the battlefield where the three ancient dragons were fighting each other.

 Yes, the Mist Nest Master suit was also made by the two of them.

After all, the Dino Tyrannosaurus material was contaminated by the magic of Chaos and still had a curse on it. Without the guidance of professionals, the leader of the second phase team would not dare to start it easily no matter how stubborn he was.

It's just that Lan En's armor has become inactive because of the dragon scales and dragon skin, and Smaug is too dead.

 Main technology is the domain of Berengar.

 The technology of the Mist Nest Master suit is the domain of the second phase group leader.

 In the process of communicating and learning from each other, the two of them each took charge of the manufacturing process of a set of armor.

 It can be seen that after this exchange, both of them are very happy to gain and make progress.

Berengar felt a little regretful when he informed himself that it was time to leave.

But there’s nothing to be reluctant about. After all, Lan En will definitely have to come back in the future, and the round trip process seems quite convenient.

 Finally, the leader of the second phase said that he would have a good communication with Belengar in the last minute.

 Lan En could only find the big apprentice in the processing house and double the ammunition for the heavy crossbow, [Booming Dragon's Roar] that he had almost finished shooting.
