Chapter 1555: Legend of the Black Dragon
As expected, Lieyan also chose to join.
She is a person who likes adventure and challenges herself.
When she heard that there was an extremely powerful forbidden monster that was very likely to be the "world's strongest" level and needed her to investigate, she agreed without a second thought.
Feng Ying had often boasted to her about hunting a red dragon, and she was also envious of the set of [Dragon Pattern].
But compared to the equipment, what she really enjoyed was the excitement of challenging a strong enemy, not to mention that the monster was most likely the real source of the unrest in recent years.
No matter how you consider it, there is no reason to refuse.
On the contrary, it seemed that Amos wanted to persuade him several times.
In his opinion, he, who is about to enter old age, has reached his peak strength. The other two hunters are young and strong and have room for improvement, but their potential is still far behind Lieyan.
The latter was promoted to eight stars at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, which is no worse than Gordon's achievement. If she is given a few more years, perhaps another nine-star master will be born.
There was really no need to gamble her on this extremely dangerous mission.
However, he didn't say these words in the end.
Lieyan really shouldn't go and "die", so who should?
While Amos was silent, the guild leader took out the familiar metal box.
"Lieyan, open it and take a look." The guild leader pushed the box towards Lieyan.
She had just come from the Land of Fire and had not yet undergone the test of the Evil Eye.
Lieyan opened the box with a puzzled look on his face, stared at the evil eye for two seconds, then came to his senses with a start and closed the box with a "click".
"What is this?" Lieyan, who rarely spoke, squeezed out a sentence from his throat.
"The target you need to investigate this time is the eye crystal of the 'Black Dragon'." The guild leader stared at her. "Well, you still have a chance to quit now."
Lieyan was trembling all over, but not because of fear, but because of excitement.
She grinned, revealing a dangerous smile, "If there is a chance, it would be okay to hunt it down directly, right?"
The guild master picked up a large book and smashed it on her head.
"Don't have that idea, that's not an opponent that one person, or even an elite team, can handle.
Save your life and bring back the news." The guild leader scolded.
Lieyan touched his head and shrugged to show that he understood.
"In this way, the personnel of the reconnaissance team have been determined."
The guild leader put down the book and said in a deep voice: "What I will tell you next is the information about the 'Black Dragon'.
This information is extremely confidential, please be careful not to leak it."
The four members of the reconnaissance team nodded repeatedly.
“There are many legends about the black dragon, and some of them are even widely known to ordinary people, but everyone just treats them as myths.
The information handed down from the ancient times is too illusory, such as the world being burned down within a few days, and its authenticity cannot be verified.
Let's focus on the near future. You should all know about the ancient Kingdom of Shulet, which flourished a thousand years ago, right?"
The three hunters except Amos shook their heads.
"." The guild leader's face darkened, but he still patiently continued to explain: "It is different from the illusory ancient era.
In academia, the ancient Shuraite Dynasty is considered to be a civilization of the same era as the modern one. This once prosperous dynasty had a territory covering most of the continent.
Archaeological discoveries have shown that they inherited part of the legacy of ancient civilizations and their technology is quite advanced, not inferior to, or even surpassing, modern technology.
And it was the capital of such a powerful kingdom that was attacked by a black dragon one day a thousand years ago.
The prosperous kingdom was reduced to ruins, and the extremely powerful Kingdom of Shulet was split into two kingdoms, the East and the West.
That is the present-day 'Wild Kingdom' and 'River Kingdom'. ” (Note)
"Oh——!" Lieyan and the other two suddenly realized.
Although their cultural knowledge was not very good, they still knew about several kingdoms in the Old World.
"Investigations and archaeological excavations on the outskirts of the ancient Shuret capital have proven that it is a city that is larger and more prosperous than East Dorma.
But even so, it still fell in an instant, and now it has become the black dragon's lair.
There is the "Legend of the Black Dragon" left by the red-robed poet as evidence:
Countless flying dragons are galloping, and the legend begins.
Countless flesh will be torn apart, bones and blood will be crushed and sucked dry, and it will come.
Water evaporates, dust burns, and steel melts.
The wind was rising, the grass and trees were barren, and the heat was rising again.
Its name is Miraporeas.
Its name is - the battle of destiny.
Its name is - the inevitable disaster.
If you have a throat, roar it out; if you have ears, listen it out; if you have a heart, pray it out.
Miraporeas, the world is overturned by it, and its name roars throughout the universe.
Heaven and earth are turned upside down by it, its name, its name!" the guildmaster chanted passionately.
"Uh," Ahun raised his hand. "Well, Mr. Director, let's put history education aside. Can we talk about something more practical first?"
"Hmm!" Lieyan seemed to agree very much.
The guild leader's forehead was throbbing with a vein, "I'm telling you all this to make you aware of the danger of the black dragon!
I want you to stop thinking about "rewards" and "challenging strong enemies" and put your life first, understand?!"
The three people who were scolded nodded repeatedly.
"call--!"
The guild leader let out a heavy breath, glared at the three people, and then continued: "Gordon of the Silver Edge Hunting Group once found the skull of a black dragon in a ruin in Lingfeng.
Based on the size of the skull and the body proportions of the equally forbidden red dragon, the black dragon should be roughly between forty and fifty meters in size.
We also obtained some scales of black dragons.
After research, scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observatory and the Scribes discovered that a large amount of metal material, even fragments of human weapons, were melted into these scales.
The addition of these metals makes the black dragon's scales extremely tough, and ordinary swords and knives cannot even leave a scratch on them.
At the same time, this also proves that the black dragon has extremely high intelligence and the ability to use high-temperature flames.
These two points are consistent with the historical records of black dragons burning down cities.”
"High temperature flame? An unexpectedly simple ability." Lieyan muttered to himself.
This is very important information, which will have a crucial impact on their choice of armor, protective stones and decorative beads.
“Also, in history, there was a dragon man who hunted a black dragon and made a giant sword out of its horn and bones.
The evil eye used to test you came from that great sword."
As he spoke, the guild leader glanced at Amos and said, “Amos brought back the fragments of the giant sword. After research, we confirmed that the black dragon’s material contains extremely amazing dragon attribute energy.
This proves that its bloodline as a dragon is very pure, which means two possibilities.
First, it also has the ability to manipulate dragon-attribute energy and is extremely resistant to dragon-attribute energy.
Secondly, dragon attribute energy is its weakness, and it is very effective against it.
This is also one of the main goals of your operation this time, to find out its weaknesses and attributes, and to collect information for the subsequent crusade."
"I understand." After thinking for a moment, Amos nodded and said, "For this operation, fire-resistant protective gear and protective stones are necessary.
As for weapons, I suggest using weapons with different attributes. Besides the dragon attribute, it may have other weaknesses."
Note: I haven't found any specific information about the East and West Shuret Kingdoms. I saw these two names on the encyclopedia. If there are any differences with the official settings, please point them out.
