Chapter 1556 Anxiety
Early in the morning, Feng Ying heard a knock on the door and hurried to open it.
Standing outside the door was a fully armed hunter.
She was equipped with a full-body armor that looked very mechanical, and her face was completely covered by a helmet.
Feng Ying stared at the man for several seconds before asking tentatively, "Lie Yan?"
Seeing the other party giving her a thumbs up, Feng Ying knew that she guessed right.
He rolled his eyes in annoyance and asked, "Why are you being so mysterious? Even you were called here by the Great Elder?
Come in, you can stay with me for a while. Master Gordon and Sister Hayata just bought a new house and moved out yesterday.
What the hell is this? A Mud Dragon suit? It seems it's not just a normal Mud Dragon suit, but a Molten Dragon suit? Mud Dragon Z?
Why did you change into this? Where is your [Fallen]? "
Lieyan did not answer Fengying's series of questions.
He just took off his helmet and, smilingly, stuffed a large sword with a bright yellow scabbard into Feng Ying's arms.
"I have a mission and it's not convenient to carry it with me, so I'll lend it to you for a while."
After leaving these words, Lieyan threw a Kinsect into the air, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
".ah?"
Feng Ying was a little slow to react, and after two seconds she hurriedly ran out of the house.
And with the help of the Kinsect, the flames flew up to the roof, and after a few leaps, they disappeared among the maze-like roof ridges.
Feng Ying chased hard for a while but eventually lost her target. Looking at the precious sword in her hand that had been passed down from generation to generation in Yanhuo Village, an ominous premonition came to her mind.
When Village Chief Puxian handed the knife to Lieyan, it meant that he handed over the responsibility of protecting and leading Yanhuo Village to Lieyan.
This is not just a weapon, but more like a token of inheritance.
How can you just hand over a token of love so casually?
She stood there for a few seconds, then slung the inherited sword across her back and sped away in the direction of Gordon's house.
Gordon, who was packing up his new home, saw Feng Ying coming to his door in a hurry. After listening to her talk about what had just happened, he couldn't help but frown.
"Something is wrong indeed. If I'm not mistaken, she might be going on an extremely dangerous mission and there's no guarantee she'll come back safely.
So I'll hand this knife to you first."
Gordon didn't say the other half of the sentence, but Feng Ying also realized it.
What Lieyan temporarily handed over to her was not only a knife, but also the responsibility of protecting Yanhuo Village.
If she didn't come back.
Feng Ying panicked. "I, I don't know where she went. She uses Kinsect better than me. I can't catch up with her."
At this moment, Hayata also came back with her daughter. She seemed to be in a bad mood, with an unconcealable anxiety between her eyebrows.
She didn't even notice Feng Ying's arrival.
As soon as he entered the room, he grabbed Gordon's hand and said, "Master Amos just came to me and said that there was something going on in Minagard and he needed to rush back urgently.
He passed on to me all the swordplay he had learned over the years, and held Muti in his arms for quite a while.
I feel like something is not right. I feel like Master doesn't seem to be going back to Minagard."
Gordon and Feng Ying looked at each other.
The two incidents had nothing to do with each other, but when they happened to two eight-star hunters at the same time, there were too many suspicious points.
It's the inherited sword and the notes on sword-fighting skills, these actions clearly have the meaning of entrusting one's last wishes.
What kind of monster could make two eight-star hunters feel unsure?
It seems unnecessary to guess, but why didn’t they, as the main force, get the news?
Gordon said to the two of them, "Wait here, I'm going to the Grand Palace."
Hayata, who also had some guesses in his mind, was a little confused, while Feng Ying was about to catch up, "I'm going too!"
Gordon raised his hand and gestured to her to "stop", then walked quickly towards the Grand Elder's Palace alone.
His identity as a nine-star hunter allowed him to have a smooth journey and he came before the great elder smoothly.
Facing the gaze of the Great Elder, he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.
According to the rules, he shouldn't ask about the content of other hunters' missions.
But in order to find out the situation, he still bit the bullet and raised his head to ask, "Great Elder, may I ask if Lieyan and Senior Amos have gone to investigate the black dragon?"
The Great Elder was silent for a few seconds, then replied in a dull voice, "Yes."
Gordon couldn't help but blurt out, "But why not us?"
"boom!"
The old sword slammed heavily on the ground, and the loud noise interrupted Gordon's questioning words.
"Why don't you, who are stronger overall, go and die, but let them take the risk?" The elder's voice was low but deafening. "Does the reason need to be explained?"
Gordon opened his mouth, but no words came out.
After a moment, the Great Elder spoke again, breaking the silence in the hall, "The Black Dragon has awakened, and as warriors, all we can do is risk our lives.
Get ready, the day of the decisive battle won't be too far away."
When they returned home, not only Hayata and Fengying were there, but also Anshil, Gail, and Ted from the Alcohol Hunting Group.
Everyone is waiting for news from him.
Gordon did not hide anything, but he did not go into too much detail either. He just used the words of the Great Elder, "It's awake, be prepared," and everyone naturally understood what he meant.
There was no mood for small talk, so everyone left soon.
Feng Ying was carrying the inherited sword and was about to leave when she was stopped by Gordon.
"Don't think too much." Gordon paused and organized his words, "Lieye is very powerful and is proficient in the secret techniques of fireflies. No matter how strong Black Dragon is, she will be able to escape if she is determined.
You should rest well at home these few days and gather your strength, as there will be a tough battle ahead."
Feng Ying smiled reluctantly upon hearing this, "I won't be impulsive. I will keep this knife for her and return it to her when Lie Yan comes back."
After Feng Ying left, Gordon closed the door.
The new house has not been tidied up yet, and things are piled up in a mess, but they are not in the mood to tidy it up now.
After sending his sleepy daughter to her bedroom to lie down, Gordon returned to the living room and sat down next to Hayata.
Hayata gave him a not-so-natural smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine, Master has been living like this all these years.
When I first became an apprentice, he often went out on missions to investigate ancient dragons alone, and he always came back safe and sound, and this time will definitely be the same."
In fact, both Gordon and Hayata themselves knew very well that this time was really different, but no one would point it out.
"If you feel you can't calm down, just follow Feng Ying's example and take on two missions at nearby hunting grounds. Just treat it as a chance to get familiar with your new weapons."
After listening to Gordon's suggestion, Hayata pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded.
He stood up and walked to the weapon rack, put on [Avalanche Gamma] and the engraved silver sword, pushed the door open, and walked out into the night.
Gordon was a little stunned. He didn't expect Hayata to leave so soon.
Sure enough, her heart was definitely not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
But thinking about the relationship between Amos and her as both teacher and father, it is understandable that if Ernest had to face the black dragon, he would definitely not be able to calm down.
"Wait?!" Gordon stood up from the sofa.
Isn’t this the purpose of Instructor Ernest’s stationing in Kokot Village?
An indescribable feeling of anxiety welled up in him, and he paced back and forth in the living room for a few rounds.
"Why don't I go hunting?"
