Chapter 443: All troubles finally come to an end

 The great elder's status and prestige were unmatched. Under his scolding, the chaotic venue finally returned to calm.

The prime minister of the kingdom who had not participated in the debate before spoke, "Miraboreas (Black Dragon), if I remember correctly, this is its name."

“That’s right.” A scholar from the Scribes team beside him nodded and confirmed: “The name comes from the ancient poem - "Legend of the Black Dragon".

Most people think this is just a fairy tale.

However, whether it is the records in the "History of the Great Kingdom" or the fragments of words brought back by the hunters from the ancient city of Shuret, they all prove the authenticity of this poem. "

 “Well, thank you.”

 The Prime Minister of the Kingdom simply thanked the scholar for the derivative explanation, and continued: "We don't know much about this kind of monster, or in other words, we know too little about it.

 I don’t even know if it still exists today.

The discovery in the ruins of Lingfeng in the Western Continent proves two things. This monster can be killed, at least in the ancient era, it was killed.

The existence of "Black Dragon" and "Black Dragon" are not unique. Although they are extremely rare, they are also a race. "

“Isn’t it too hasty to confirm that it is not unique now?” A scholar said stubbornly.

Another scholar refuted angrily, "What kind of evidence do you want? The destruction of the ancient Shuret capital occurred more than a thousand years ago, and the ancient ruins that sealed the head were at least eight thousand years old.

 In other words, there were at least two black dragons that once existed. Isn’t this enough confirmation?

 Does it mean that a group of black dragons must fly in front of you before you are willing to overthrow the so-called "unique theory"? "

Seeing that the argument was about to break out again, the great elder cleared his throat and motioned to the prime minister of the kingdom to continue.

 The prime minister nodded and continued: "There is a first head, there is a second head, and there may be a third head. Although we have been in peace for countless years, we must be prepared.

 At least, this is an excellent opportunity to collect information and understand the black dragon's intelligence.

 My proposal is to send forces to retrieve the head and study it thoroughly, so that we may be able to find its weaknesses.

Even if we don’t use this information, we can pass it on to future generations. "

 “I agree with Mr. Prime Minister’s point of view.”

“I also agree. Compared with taking huge risks to explore the ancient city of Leite again, it is obviously safer to bring back the head.”

  Representatives of the nobility and several scholars expressed their agreement, but there were also objections.

“This does seem like a good opportunity, but please don’t forget that the owner of the Lingfeng Mountains is an ancient dragon that can easily destroy a city.” The female anthropologist said.

“Is it possible to retrieve the head covertly without attracting Lanlong’s attention?”

“Are you kidding me? According to the report, the head weighs at least several tons. To transport it out of the ruins, machinery and vehicles must be used, and the outer wall of the ruins must be broken.

With Lanlong’s keen sense that he can detect the remaining breath on an ancient gold coin, how could he possibly be able to hide it? "

 The prime minister pondered for a moment and then said: "Send multiple high-ranking hunters to stop the attack, or even hunt the mist dragon? If necessary, the kingdom's knights will also help."

“Hey,” an old sigh sounded. It was an old dragon man who was so old that he could barely stand up.

As the former director of the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, his prestige among scholars is no less than that of the Great Elder among hunters.

“It is impossible to get the head back, unless you pay countless casualties and hunt down the mist dragon first.

 But don’t forget, Lanlong is an ancient dragon that is very good at flying and has the ability to cause storms. The number of people is meaningless in front of it.

Even if we dispatch multiple high-ranking hunters and successfully suppress it, if it wants to escape, how can we stop it?

Mr. Prime Minister, have you considered what would happen if you completely angered an ancient dragon that was good at flying and could easily cause natural disasters?

 The tragedy of the Moon People's Capital will definitely happen again, and it will happen again, continuously, many times. "

 After the Prime Minister was silent for a few seconds, he bowed slightly to the old man and said, "I'm sorry, I was careless."

The old scholar glanced at everyone and continued: "That was not another ancient dragon, let alone an ordinary monster, but the 'Forbidden King'.

Even the ancestors of the ancient era with extremely advanced technology had to build a huge building and use technology that we cannot understand to isolate the atmosphere and seal it to preserve it.

How dare you take it out of the ruins?

Let alone the head, even if you just leave the ruins with the evil eye, it may cause unexpected disasters, such as attracting the attention of other ancient dragons, or attracting the attention of the man in Xiuret City. "

 Everyone was speechless.

“Even if we don’t consider any subsequent effects, the head itself is extremely dangerous.

 Do you think the swordsman in the report was exaggerating or joking?

Nearly a hundred years ago, a hunter brought back a piece of scale from the city of Xiuret. Not long after he returned, he died of his injuries. More than one of the scholars who studied the scale developed mental problems.

 Ordinary people, even most hunters, who are not strong-willed enough will fall into madness the moment they see the head.

There are very few people who can muster up the courage to look at each other again and break away from fear like the great swordsman.

 Transporting it out of the ruins and bringing it back is an impossible task. "

 “Indeed.”

 The Great Elder nodded his chin and said in a low voice: "Seal it again or destroy it. These are the only two options."

“The old advice is to destroy.”

The old scholar said: "The so-called re-sealing is nothing more than repairing the cracks in the ruins. We can't send an engineering team in.

Moreover, ordinary repair is meaningless. The key lies in the isolation of breath. We don’t know how to isolate the breath at all, and there is no guarantee that the crack after repair will not open again.

Only by destroying it can the problem be solved once and for all, and Lan Long can calm down. "

 “How to destroy.”

The Great Elder asked simply and directly: "The report said that the white sword-like dragon-type weapon used by Gordon could only break the decayed scales, but it was difficult to actually damage the skull. The strength of the skull is very high."

 The old scholar shook his head and said, "I'm not good at this issue. Maybe you can ask Master Campbell."

 “Master Cambei?” The great elder looked at Cambei who had not spoken much.

Cambei smiled bitterly and said: "I have no clue, let alone certainty. After all, it is something I have never personally come into contact with."

“Don’t worry too much, just come up with a plan from the perspective of your weapons design master.”

After thinking for a moment, Campbell said: "If you want to destroy the head, instant destructive power is very important. My suggestion is to use explosives.

 But judging from the description of that guy Gordon, even the power of the barrel bomb G is far from enough. "

 A scholar who is familiar with Master Campbell suggested, “Explosive barrels are practical props that take both stability and ease of production into account, and their power is actually not too great.

Master Campbell, you should have a recipe for a more powerful explosive, right? We don’t need to consider cost issues, and even safety can be ignored to a certain extent.

 Power, power is the only requirement. "

Cambet fell into deep thought again, with countless explosive recipes flashing through his mind.

"have."

He raised his head and looked at the great elder, "There is a formula that is far more powerful than ordinary gunpowder. It requires the use of several monster materials and the cost is extremely high. We can ignore this.

 The key is that it must be coordinated on site, otherwise it will be too unstable and it is very easy to accidentally explode. "

The great elder stared at Cambei and asked: "Master Cambei, can the explosive you mentioned be able to destroy that head? This is my only concern."

“It should be possible. Do you remember the design of the ‘Dragon Slayer Cannon’?”

“Is it the final weapon against the ancient dragon? Of course I remember it.”

“The charge of the dragon-killing cannon shells uses this kind of explosive. Although it is expensive and dangerous, it is extremely powerful and can severely damage or even kill the ancient dragon.”

"very good."

 The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction, "The only thing that needs to be considered now is on-site coordination. We can send an expert who is good at preparing explosives."

 “That’s not necessary.”

Cambey suddenly laughed, "Gordon's hunting cat partner, Ellu named Pig Chop, is very good at preparing explosives. He can do this well."
