Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Bai Feng smiled and nodded to Fujimaru Ritsuka to express his gratitude, while Reya, standing to the side, said with a smile:

"Now, Xia Lu's equipment is probably even more powerful than Aibo's."

Upon hearing this, Bai Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of competitiveness, wanting to change his equipment to be made from Nergigante materials. However, considering that Nergigante was now their companion, his expression became somewhat conflicted.

In short, after resolving the equipment issue, the group left the foundry and continued upwards to the third floor.

This is Reya's favorite area, the dining area of ​​the entire base.

It wasn't lunchtime yet, so there weren't many people. In the semi-open kitchen, you could see the Palicoes still busily preparing ingredients.

Reya said with great interest:

"The chef's cooking is absolutely delicious, I definitely have to try it later!"

"No, why don't we try it now? I'm a little hungry anyway!"

"Hello--!"

But just then, Ron's figure suddenly appeared in the distance and called out to them:

"Get ready for the meeting!"

Chapter 269 The investigation is over? No, it's a new beginning.

At the bow, at the very front of the circulation area, is the command area where the commander-in-chief most often stays. In the middle is a very large table covered with various documents, and on the side stand the flags of five companies.

The Commander-in-Chief, the Grand Commander, and the Sword Master were already standing in place, waiting for everyone. In addition to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, people who arrived one after another included Ladia, Trevor, the head chef, and some unfamiliar people. They were all members of the current leadership team of the base.

Upon seeing the head chef, the chef walked over to him, and the head chef, in perfect unison, extended his hand and gave him a fist bump.

After exchanging blows, the head chef nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Looks like he's still lively and energetic, not bad."

"Haha, of course!"

The Grand Commander laughed:

"I'm waiting to come back and eat your cooking!"

It was only then that Bai Feng and Re Ya were surprised to learn that the head chef was actually the Palico who partnered with the Grand Master.

"Alright, let's start the meeting first. We can catch up later."

Upon hearing the Commander-in-Chief's words, the Grand Commander and the Chief Chef settled down. Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Commander-in-Chief smiled and said:

"Alright, let's begin the meeting."

"The purpose of this meeting is very simple: to formally explain the current situation to everyone."

"After successfully defeating the Zorah Magdaros, the investigation into the Elder Dragon Lance has finally come to light, which means our research team's mission is finally complete!"

"Clap clap clap clap clap...!" ×n

Upon hearing this, those present couldn't help but applaud and smile knowingly.

Since the First Fleet arrived in the New World forty years ago to investigate the Ancient Dragon Crossing, and now the arrival of the Fifth Fleet has finally revealed the truth, the long mission that spanned forty years has come to a successful conclusion, and each of them is filled with pride.

After the applause ended, the Commander-in-Chief continued with a smile:

"Next, I will compile the reports on the migration of ancient dragons over the years, as well as the investigation content and results of [Ancient Dragon Crossing], and submit them to the guild."

"However, since it's content from forty years ago, organizing it will probably take quite a bit of time."

When this matter was brought up, the Commander-in-Chief himself felt a bit of a headache, so he couldn't help but look at the Regiment Commander beside him.

However, upon noticing his gaze, the commander subtly shifted his eyes away, feigning indifference, which infuriated the commander-in-chief.

The reason why the Grand Commander is called the Grand Commander is because he was the commander of the first batch of troops.

Later, with the arrival of other agencies, the investigation team needed to elect a commander-in-chief, and the person initially recommended was also the Grand Commander.

Unfortunately, just as he said before, the leader is all brawn and no brains. In the first generation of the group, he was only responsible for setting the direction, while he was in charge of handling the specific affairs.

The commander-in-chief also realized that he was not suitable to take on this responsibility, so he took the initiative to hand over the position of commander-in-chief to him and chose to conduct investigations and explorations alone.

Seeing that the other party was clearly unwilling to help him with the tasks, the Commander-in-Chief had no choice but to turn to his grandson Ron and give the order without room for argument:

"Ron, you'll be in charge of organizing the data with me for the next period of time."

"Ah I?"

Ron, the head of the investigation team, pointed incredulously to himself, but under the dual pressure from the Commander-in-Chief and his grandfather, he could only resign himself to his fate and listlessly replied:

"Okay, I got it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Ron with sympathy. She understood this feeling; nobody enjoyed writing and organizing data.

nobody!

Having found someone to share his tasks, the Commander-in-Chief smiled again, but the smile quickly turned to one of wistfulness as he addressed the crowd:

"Once the report is submitted, the investigation team's future direction will be determined. Depending on the direction, the investigation team may be disbanded or receive orders to return home. Please be prepared for this."

The mention of the word 'disbandment' weighed heavily on everyone's minds.

Apart from the newly arrived Fifth Fleet, everyone else has dedicated at least ten years to this land. Apart from the long-lived dragon race, how many decades does a human have in a lifetime?

But the Commander-in-Chief did not let this heavy mood spread, but continued to laugh:

"However, this does not mean that everyone can rest during this period, because our guests Ritsuka and the others have brought some important information."

Upon hearing the name Fujimaru Ritsuka, everyone unconsciously turned their gaze to her, their eyes filled with curiosity.

However, on the other side, when the Commander-in-Chief took out a white crystal from behind him and placed it on the table, everyone's attention was immediately drawn back to him.

"This crystal... contains an enormous amount of energy!"

Ladia picked up the white crystal with curiosity, then immediately showed a surprised expression, followed by a surge of intense curiosity.

"Commander-in-Chief, where did this crystal come from?"

As the crystal was being passed around among the group, the Commander-in-Chief smiled slightly and said:

"The Crystal Land of Dragons, that's the name Ritsuka gave to that area. It's said that the area is full of these crystals, which have piled up into a mountain, and the lair of the Extinction Dragon is also there."

At this moment, Reya also spoke up:

"Preliminary speculation suggests that these white crystals may be the result of energy accumulating in that area after the ancient dragon's lifespan ended, thus forming crystals."

This is the information that Fujimaru Ritsuka told them last night.

When they heard this information, they were also very surprised, never expecting that there was such a magical place in the New World.

The commander standing to the side sighed:

"I never imagined that the Nergigante's lair would be in a place like that. No wonder I haven't been able to find any useful clues."

Ever since he discovered Nergigante's unusual behavior, he had been investigating it, but without much progress, because Nergigante's whereabouts were completely unpredictable and could be described as elusive.

Therefore, he took the initiative to show himself after seeing Nergigante in the Ley Line Corridor, because he wanted to learn more about Nergigante.

Ladia said with great interest:

"Yes, I never imagined there was such a previously undiscovered area. Who could have guessed?"

"In that case, it looks like there's work to be done again."

"You're right,"

The Commander-in-Chief laughed:

"Ritsuka came here directly from the sky across the volcanic field with Nergigante, so she doesn't know how to get to the Elder's Recess from the ground. That's our next task—"

"Find the way to the Elder's Recess and establish a safe camp there for the subsequent exploration and investigation of the Elder's Recess."

"Bai Feng, Re Ya, I'll have to trouble you again this time."

"Okay, we understand!"

Reya readily agreed, and Bai Feng nodded in acknowledgment.

Exploring unknown areas is the most difficult and dangerous type of exploration mission, and as the strongest member of the investigation team, she naturally has to shoulder this responsibility.

However, she had long since gotten used to it.

The commander standing to the side smiled at them and said:

"Don't worry, I'll be joining you on this investigation. I'm very interested in the Elder's Recess!"

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into deep thought—

She was wondering whether she should tell them about the problems in the Elder's Recess now.

Chapter 270 A New Investigation Target, Fujimaru Ritsuka's Precognitive Dream

Generally speaking, Elder Dragons nearing the end of their lifespan would choose to go to the Rotten Vale region of the New World as their final destination, but for some reason, the Lavasioth chose to enter the ley lines through the Ley Line Corridor, which is clearly not a normal phenomenon.

But the hunters in the survey team haven't discovered, or rather, haven't realized, this problem yet.

So, should we inform them of the anomaly beforehand?

...For Fujimaru Ritsuka, this wasn't actually a difficult choice.

"That concludes today's meeting. If there are no objections..."

"Wait a moment!"

So, just as the Commander-in-Chief was about to conclude the meeting, Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted him, and, facing the gazes of everyone turning to her, she said:

"Actually, ever since I came into this world, I've been having the same dream, and I think the content of the dream may be related to the current situation."

"The same dream?"

Upon hearing this, Kurt, an elderly dragon-man and director of the Biological Research Institute belonging to the Third Fleet, raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"Could it be a precognitive dream?"

Hearing his words, Reya looked over curiously and asked:
