Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

Then Ye Zi spoke up, explaining the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons, the battle between the Thunder Dragon and the Wind Dragon, and the recent encounter with the Steel Dragon in Elgard.

Of course, Ye Zi used the previous excuse to confuse some of the content and conceal Han Xin's secret.

But even though the truth was mixed with lies, Lilia was still keenly aware of some subtle blind spots.

"You mean, the awakening of Thunder Dragon and Wind Dragon might have been advanced by a few years?"

Ye Zi nodded and said:

"At least that's what Master said, because the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons only occurs once every fifty years.

Therefore, he speculated that the reproduction period of the Wind Dragon and the Thunder Dragon is also fifty years..."

Lilia quickly searched through the information in her hand, and after quickly skimming through it, she frowned slightly.

"My colleagues at the Longli Academy in Longxiang Stronghold didn't mention this to me. It seems the breeding cycle of the Wind Dragon and Thunder Dragon is still under discussion.

But I will take your speculation seriously, Miss Yezi."

On the other hand, Han Xin was somewhat curious about Long Liyuan's purpose in coming here. As a free-spirited person, he didn't bother to worry about social issues and asked bluntly:

"Lilia...right?

The reason you came to Elgard should be more than just exchanging intelligence, right?

If we just want to confirm the authenticity of the frequent ancient dragon incidents in various countries, wouldn't it be more convenient to send the Dragon Calendar Academy scholars in Longxiang Stronghold here?"

"Ah, ah, ah, my benefactor, Mr. O-neighbor, you can't be so rude..."

To others, Han Xin's words sounded like he was saying that it didn't matter whether Lilia, the chief hunter of the Dragon Calendar Academy, came here or not.

But Lilia smiled slightly, waved her hand to indicate that Ye Zi didn't need to care, and said with great appreciation:

"Sir Han Xin, I've heard a little bit about this from my colleagues at the Dragon Calendar Institute before, but seeing it today, it's true that this Melaleuca is different from ordinary Melaleuca.

Whether it is his knowledge of monsters or his keen awareness of current events, it is amazing.

I heard that you have a unique knack for combat, so if you have the chance, I'd love for you to hunt with me."

After finishing the polite words, Lilia gently closed her eyes, then quickly opened them again, then took a breath and continued:

"You're right. If it were just a simple academic discussion, you wouldn't have sent a hunter like me here. My main purpose here is...

Chase and intercept the Sky Comet Dragon."

"Sky Comet Dragon?!"

When they heard this name, everyone was shocked again.

Even Han Xin widened his eyes slightly and showed a little surprise when he heard this.

Facing everyone's surprise, Lilia just sighed lightly and continued:

"That's right, just a while ago, the Dragon Knowledge Ship of the Dragon Calendar Institute Headquarters accidentally discovered the Sky Comet Dragon living on the highest peak while passing through the Yiqun Ridge.

Shortly after being discovered, the comet immediately flew towards the west.

According to our Dragon Calendar Institute's research, one of the areas He will rest and hunt next is likely to be the Fortress Plateau, where the energy concentration is high."

"Tsk, it's the Sky Comet Dragon again."

Fiorina, who was always calm, couldn't help but gasp when she heard the name.

"'Again'? Granny Fiorina, have you ever encountered a monster like this before?"

In response to Ye Zi's question, Fiorina said affirmatively:

"That's right.

More than forty years ago, I learned from Lord Lie Ren that a Sky Comet Dragon appeared in the Feishen Community area, emitting a higher concentration of dragon-attribute energy.

It is called the Mysterious Red Light Sky Comet Dragon by the guild.

While flying high in the sky, the individual scattered many dragon-attribute energy crystals.

Because the excessive dragon energy in the body cannot be effectively released, it becomes more violent and likes to stay on the ground and hunt prey.

This led to the collapse of the surrounding ecology.

After Lord Lieren repelled it, it reappeared in the Fortress Highlands area and evolved into a strange overcome state due to gnawing insects.

Lord Lieren and I expended countless manpower and resources, and made countless sacrifices before we were able to completely defeat it."

"Huh?! How come Master never told me this..."

Ye Zi curled his lips, looking a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Lilia immediately explained to Lieren, who was thousands of miles away:

"Hehe, I guess Mr. Lieren must have done this to protect you.

After all, Gu Long’s secrets cannot be told to others casually.

If a hunter is not well prepared or has not grown to a certain level of strength, it is easy for him to become overly frightened or overly excited when learning about this powerful monster.

This preparation and strength is not only in terms of weapons and support, but also psychological.

But when you have to face an ancient dragon, I think he will support you without reservation.

Not only that, I guess Mr. Lieren also deliberately concealed his own story in order to keep your exploration of this world fresh."

Hearing this, Ye Zi2〡氵? Si Ling Qi Er Si, right? He blinked his eyes.

"Ms. Lilia, your analysis is very thorough. You are right.

Although my master never mentioned anything about ancient dragons to me, when we actually faced the Thunder Dragon and the Wind Dragon, he would teach me the corresponding knowledge.

I feel like... Miss Lilia, you and my master are so familiar?

It’s like we’ve been friends for years!”

Unexpectedly, Lilia smiled slightly.

"Who says it's not true? We met over fifty years ago~

If you want to hear about our ill-fated relationship, wait until the meeting is over and I treat you little guys to dinner.

Kate and Ye Zi seemed excited when they heard that they could listen to stories and have dinner with the legendary hunter.

But soon, Fiorina brought the topic back to the topic.

"Ms. Lilia, as for the Sky Comet Dragon you mentioned, when will it arrive?

So that we can take precautions.”

"You also know that the movements of powerful monsters like the Ancient Dragon are impossible to predict completely.

In addition, the flying speed of the Sky Comet Dragon species is like a meteor across the sky, and it is basically impossible to track it. We at the Dragon Calendar Institute can only roughly guess its movement trajectory.

As for when to return to Fortress Heights, it could be now or a few months later.

All I can say is that even the speculation of coming to the Fortress Heights area is only a high probability event."

As someone who studies the relevant subject at the Dragon Calendar Institute, Lilia is quite cautious when speaking about the relevant knowledge.

"...I understand. Our Kingdom's knights and Elgard will fully support the Dragon Calendar Institute's research.

For the kingdom, for the people."

After thinking for a moment, Fiorina looked at Lilia with a determined gaze.

The latter also nodded slightly, showing the composure of a strong man.

"Now that the relevant matters have been discussed, then..."

"Wait a moment."

Just when Fiorina was about to adjourn the meeting, Han Xin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted her rudely.

"I also have information to share with you while the Dragon Calendar Institute is visiting Elgard."

After attracting everyone's attention, Lilia gently spread her hands and gestured to Han Xin to speak.

"Not long ago, I encountered a monster that had transformed into a mad dragon in the Fortress Highlands area."

"!!!"

After these words were spoken, even Lilia, who had always been calm, was moved.

Fiorina took a step forward.

"What? Didn't scholars speculate a few months ago that the Black Eclipse Dragon died naturally? Is it lying dormant?"

Unlike Fiorina's surprise, Lilia got straight to the point.

"Where is it?"

"The westernmost region of the Fortress Plateau, near the edge of the region, may have long been beyond the reach of human exploration."

"From Lady Fiorina's tone, it seems this isn't the first sighting. So when was the first sighting reported?"

Hearing this, Ye Zi raised his hand.

"Ten months ago, I encountered a black eclipse dragon in the northwest."

"Ten months apart?!"

Lilia exclaimed directly,

"?"

This loud and shouting behavior was totally inconsistent with her previous calm and dignified appearance, so it made the others feel strange.

Seeing this, she immediately calmed down, and even coughed a little awkwardly.

"Ahem, excuse me.

Ten months?... It seems that this doesn't match the ecology of the Black Eclipse Dragon at all.

Generally speaking, when a Black Dragon is discovered, the entire area will be quickly affected by the Mad Dragon Disease, causing a disturbance in the local ecological balance.

Furthermore, the Black Eclipse Dragon grows extremely fast. It should take less than three months from the time it is discovered to the time it grows to its full form.

But if it transforms into a complete form, it will definitely cause a strange phenomenon that blocks out the sky and the sun, and it can be recognized at a glance even if it is hundreds or thousands of kilometers away.

However, when the Longli Academy airship passed over the fortress heights, no such scene was observed in the surrounding area.

That means the person who spread the Mad Dragon Virus should still be in the Black Dragon state.
