Chapter 1537 Assessment?
On the soft grass, the baby girl, who couldn't walk skillfully yet, crawled around like a lively puppy.
Whenever she tried to crawl further away, her mother would grab her ankles and drag her back.
Even though her clothes and hair were covered with dust and grass, she didn't care. She even enjoyed it and tried to "escape" again and again.
The child's father was whispering something with a middle-aged or elderly man who looked like the child's grandparents.
The child's mother, while tirelessly engaging in a battle of wits and courage with the little girl, would turn around from time to time to join in the conversation.
The young father was so strong that he didn't look like a human. He must be a hunter? But he didn't wear armor, so he might be a blacksmith or some other heavy laborer.
The tall mother looks like a model? As for the old man, he has the air of a person who holds a high position.
It's really an unpredictable family, but the harmonious atmosphere between them is just as warm and harmonious as other families strolling and playing in the park.
Passersby who were attracted by their unusual physique could not help but smile knowingly.
Occupation, identity and so on are not important.
On the day off, I brought my baby girl to the park to play, and we probably talked about some fun things about the child in daily life, or some light-hearted topics like what to eat at dinner.
"Of course it's not normal. In the past month or two, the intensity of ancient dragon activity has indeed decreased significantly, but the problem is that the activity of ordinary monsters has also decreased. You should know what this means."
Amos looked at little Muti crawling around with a calm expression.
"Indeed." Gordon crossed his arms, "If the source of the chaos disappears, it would be normal for the ancient dragons to calm down, but it would be strange if the frightened ordinary monsters also immediately calmed down.
This feeling is more like... sensing the coming of severe winter, hiding in the nest and hibernating."
“Well, two months ago, when I was tracking the Xialong in the Alkris region, I discovered something was wrong. The group of velociraptors migrated and hid in the deepest part of the jungle.
Later, I went to Pokai Village for some business and talked with the hunters there.
As a result, a similar situation occurred on the snowy mountains.
The snow lions, who should be storing energy for the winter, have also reduced the frequency of their hunting trips.”
"Pokai Village? Is everything okay over there?" Hayata asked worriedly.
Amos knew that Hayata had a special feeling for Pokai Village, so he nodded and said, "A month or two ago, a dragon appeared on the snowy mountain."
"Broken Dragon?!!"
Amos pressed his palm, signaling Hayata to stay calm, "Don't worry, the Collapse Dragon had already been dealt with before I was sent to Pokai Village by the guild.
Today, Pokai Village can be said to be a place where many strong people gather.
Gene who came back from the New World, the village hunter Kio, the rising star Mimari, and Rossi and Edelica who came to help at Kio's request.
That dragon was dealt with before it could cause much trouble."
Hayata breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Hearing several familiar names, Gordon scratched his chin, "Senior Amos, you said that before you went to Pokai Village, the Benglong had been dealt with.
So you didn't go there for that dragon?
Is there any other monster that even the team that successfully hunts the Beng Long cannot deal with, and that requires an eight-star hunter like you to take action?"
Amos was silent for a few seconds, glanced around, and after making sure that no one nearby could hear what they were saying, he reached out and hugged Muti and covered her ears.
"You misunderstood. The guild didn't send me there to hunt anything, but for other confidential missions."
".Muti is just over one year old." Gordon was speechless.
"But she can already say some simple words, and there's a risk of her accidentally letting something slip." Amos's face was calm.
"Okay." Seeing Amos' cautious look, Gordon Hayata sat up straighter.
“I went to Pokai Village because of a secret commission from the Great Elder. There is a list for this commission.
All of you members of the Silver Edge team are on this list, so you have the authority to know. This is a 'taboo', so be careful to avoid leaking it."
Gordon and Hayata nodded in unison.
“The guild’s top brass believes that the ancient dragon unrest in the Old World is directly related to the ‘taboo’ in the ruins of the ancient city of Shulet.
Considering the worst-case scenario, the guild leaders planned to organize a group of hunters to prepare for a possible battle.
That’s where the list came from.”
"Who else is on the list besides us? Can you tell us?" Gordon asked tentatively.
"No." Amos kept his voice just loud enough to be heard. "The final list has not been confirmed yet. The people on the list must pass some kind of assessment before they can be confirmed to stay."
"Assessment" Hayata raised her head and looked at Amos with surprise in her eyes.
In her impression, Master Amos was a person who followed the rules to a certain extent, and it was not like he would do favoritism or corruption.
But if it wasn’t for the purpose of “revealing the questions”, why would the assessment be mentioned?
Amos glanced at her and said, "Don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with cheating. You and Gordon are the only two people on the list who don't need to take the test.
That's why I'm telling you this.
If you can figure out the key, then think about it yourself. If you can’t figure it out, that’s okay, you will just know it a few days later.
The only thing you need to remember is that no matter whether you have guessed the content of the test or not, do not reveal it to anyone, even to your teammates.
The assessment is meaningful only if they are completely unaware of the situation. Telling them in advance would actually harm them."
Gordon asked tentatively: "So the reason you specifically told us this is..."
"The guild leader asked me to remind you." Amos answered straightforwardly, "You will be summoned one after another in the next few days, and you two may have noticed something through some clues.
There are many acquaintances on the list, and it is easy to affect the assessment results if they communicate with each other. We should try our best to avoid this situation. "
After hearing this, Hayata had an expression that said, "As expected."
She felt strange ever since Amos started "sharing secrets". Her master had never been someone who couldn't keep secrets, otherwise he wouldn't have covered little Muti's ears.
It turned out to be the guild leader's idea, no wonder.
After saying that, Amos stopped paying attention to the two of them and started teasing little Muti, who was shaking his head in dissatisfaction.
"The two of us don't need to take the test, does that mean we have proven ourselves in certain situations? But An Xier and Feng Ying haven't."
Gordon folded his arms and lowered his head, mumbling to himself, "It's also related to 'taboo', and I even went to Pokai Village specifically.
Ah, I see. "
Gordon and Hayata looked at each other, and both of them already had the answer in their hearts.
There was only one thing that the two of them had come into contact with, and it was related to "taboo".
That was the "Forbidden Skull" discovered in the Lingfeng ruins.
I learned from the professor that those were some kind of "forbidden" remains. Not to mention ordinary people, even strong-willed hunters might go crazy after coming into contact with them.
Its corrosiveness is far greater than those of red dragon materials.
Gene told them that he once accidentally dug out a pitch-black bone from an ice cave behind the village of Pokai. He almost went crazy at the time and it took him a long time to recover.
According to his description, it was very similar to the feeling of touching the "Forbidden Skull".
That way everything can be connected.
The "Forbidden Skull" in the Lingfeng Ruins, the "Black Block" in the Pokai Village, and the "Taboo" in the ancient Shulet City should all come from the same origin.
Should the assessment item be to touch the "black block"? If you can actively get rid of the erosion, it means you have the most basic qualifications to stand in front of the "taboo" on the other side.
If you can't even do this, it's better not to get involved.
Gordon wanted to confirm his guess with Amos, but he saw the latter shaking his head, "Don't ask me, just think of it yourself.
Remember, don’t tell anyone.”
".You don't have to cover Muti's ears when you say this, right?"
