Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 285 The Forbidden Council
"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Fan said, unloading the strips on his shoulders.

"I thought you would be in the New World, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Is it because of Huang Heilong?"

Sophia sighed.

"It has something to do with it. I came to you this time because I want to check the information about the black dragon."

"Looking for the Dragon Worship Cult to ask for black dragon information, this kind of way is only you can think of, well, why should I give it to you?"

Sophia stood up.

"We are all friends."

"Is it a little too casual to reveal the top secret of the church just because we are friends?"

"Well, then it's an exchange."

Li Fan said, pointing to the big lump on the carpet.

"Don't waste your efforts, there is no material at all. Is the skin wrapped around the surface some kind of monster shed?"

Out of respect, Sophia glanced at it casually, but the cloth-like skin with burn marks quickly caught her attention.

"Yes, it is everywhere in a valley. I found that it can isolate the property and keep the material from being damaged, so I wrapped it on the surface."

As Li Fan said, he unsealed the wrapped cloth strips.

Sophia certainly wouldn't approve of the exchange.

After all, black dragon information is the top secret for the Dragon Worship Sect.

However, I was still very interested in finding out what the wrapped material was, so I went to the side to watch.

As the cloth-like outer skin was continuously removed, a sharp black corner composed of upside-down scales was revealed.

After watching for a while, Sophia hurriedly leaned over to check.

Pacha~ With the light touch of fingers, a red and black electric glow suddenly appeared.

"Be careful, the dragon attribute left on it has not faded."

Li Fan reminded.

Sophia didn't respond, and the hall fell into silence.

呲~
The flame of the candlestick jumped a bit, as if Sophia was trapped in a freeze, she blinked her eyes lightly.

"The corner of the sky. Are you kidding me? If you hold this kind of material, you will be retaliated by it."

"It's okay, it's dead."

After Li Fan finished telling, there was another burst of wordless silence.

"It's a clumsy scam. In order to obtain information, you actually used this trick on me."

After Sophia finished speaking, she stood up unhappily.

"I kid you not, it's really dead."

As Li Fan said, he put down his backpack and took out a glass-colored spherical jade from it.

"If even you can't recognize this jade, then I feel that no one can recognize it."

"Uh, give me some time, I want to think about it."

Sophia saw the glass-colored Dragon Jade held by Li Fan, her steps trembled and she backed away.

"Don't worry, I have a lot of time."

Li Fan pulled a chair and sat on it.

After pulling out several books from the bookshelf, an entire section of the adjacent bookshelf retracted into the wall, revealing the entrance to a secret room.

Sophia, who walked into the secret room with her forehead on her forehead, rummaged through the recent stargazing records.

After pulling out a banner scroll and examining it carefully for a while, she lowered her hands and muttered, "No wonder that dark star suddenly disappeared."

After thinking for a moment, her eyes locked on the black book placed alone on the stone niche.

This book is not too thick, but the purple eye decoration on the cover is particularly eye-catching.

After washing her face in the mirror and putting her glasses on again, Sophia walked out of the secret room with the book in her arms.

"Is there a monster in the New World that can rival it?"

Sophia asked.

"Yes, don't you know?"

"How could I know the information that the Hunter's Guild didn't even get?"

Sophia said helplessly.

"Even if you get it, you won't make it public casually. Oh! Got it, got it."

"There are guild spies in the church too, it's no big deal."

"So. Can these two things be exchanged?"

Li Fan returned to the topic.

"Yes, but not because of their value, but once the death of Huang Heilong is certified, Dragon Worship will completely collapse."

Sophia told frankly.

Li Fan could understand what the other party meant.

The basis for Dragon Worship to attract believers is not that many people really worship taboos and regard them as beliefs.

Instead, I want to express submission to taboos through this form of worship.

So I hope that when the disaster of annihilation strikes, I will be spared.

One day, if someone tells you that Taboo is dead, you will still be killed by a hunter.

In addition to a small number of fanatics who will support it, the audience of Dragon Worship will be completely lost.

"Wait, the congregation has such a big opinion on me, shouldn't it be"

"That's right, with your achievements, you are already the number one imaginary enemy in the church against taboos."

Sofia confirmed.

Obviously, whoever is likely to offend the taboo is the biggest enemy of the Dragon Worship Cult.

"Those who dared to challenge the Taboo Hunter back then, thinking of the hostile behavior of these people, must not feel good."

Li Fan said with emotion.

"Actually, the guild is also an accomplice, but they are not cowardly enough to worship the Dragon Cult."

Sophia's tone was cold.

"Okay. Can you reveal the black dragon information now?"

Li Fan asked.

"of course."

As Sophia said, she opened the scaly cover of the black book.

"When the guild management was relatively loose many years ago, Shurad City was not a completely forbidden area. In order to make a fortune, many people would sneak into the wreckage of the city to collect materials left by the black dragon. What's more exaggerated is that some people tried to build equipment. Of course, without exception, the wearers would go crazy until they died, but thanks to the materials they brought back, the research on black dragons became possible. After that, the first characteristic was quickly confirmed, and black dragons could not be killed. "

"Ah? Is this a real characteristic?"

Li Fan couldn't understand what it meant to be unable to be killed.

"The scales that those people brought back from the city of Schrader are not only those that were left naturally, but also those that were artificially chopped by sharp blades. When restored to the surface of the body, many scales are in the vital parts. This is the only The traces left by hunters when they slay monsters."

Sophia turned the pages of the book as she spoke, and continued: "You should know better than me what the exposure of the vital points under the protection of the carapace scales means to monsters, but among the few sane witnesses, no one has seen the black dragon in a wounded state. As more and more samples were collected, the researchers later discovered a large number of repeated parts, and many scales have the same size, texture, and thickness, which is completely incomprehensible for the taboo of longevity."

"Even if the scales are newly formed, they will wear out after a long time. In terms of the time span of the taboo life, it is true that there will not be two identical isolated scales."

Li Fan felt that even if the shell was moulted once every half a day, it would be almost impossible to find two identical scales, let alone pick up the leftover ones.

"So at that time, the researchers deduced that a hunter had severely injured the black dragon more than once, but for some unknown reason, the death of the black dragon was avoided, so it was judged to have the characteristic of being unable to be killed."

A large number of identical vital scales, which cannot be killed.
The only ability Li Fan can think of is going back in time.

"The second important piece of information was put forward by a scholar. Taboos all have terrible combat power, but for the world we live in, it is not necessary to have this kind of combat power. Of course, according to the Huang Heilong you gave Death information, this article may be overturned, but I personally think that the taboo individual power is indeed too much beyond the ecological needs, so that no one knows where the upper limit is."

"It means that the black dragon has the possibility of suppressing its own combat power."

Li Fan thinks that this is the same as when the 4090 is playing League of Legends and the graphics card fan does not turn on.

"That's right, and this strength does not require any ecological support, which makes the existence of the black dragon itself, as well as the code of conduct, a mystery."

The research system of Monster Hunter World scholars is based on ecology.

The taboo seems to have broken away from the ecology, which makes even the existence of the black dragon itself an unexplainable problem.

"Wait, how did that hunter injure it?"

Li Fan felt that this did not make sense.

"Well, as a hunter who hunted down Huang Heilong, you don't even know, how could I know."

Sophia sighed helplessly.

"Yes, let's continue."

"According to the collected information, the researchers speculate that the black dragon may have the ability related to time, but there is no clue about the method of displaying it. After that, the relevant research was stopped, and Shurad City was completely banned by the guild. All the materials of the black dragon were destroyed, and the above is all the information about the black dragon."

After Sophia finished speaking, she closed the black book.

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then got up from the chair.

"Thanks, I should go."

"Wait, are you still using that frog puppet bag?"

Sophia asked.

"of course."

"Well, goodbye, Hunter."

Li Fan turned and left.

Seeing the other party disappear from the stairs, Sophia smiled sincerely, got up and waved her green robe, jumping and spinning.

"Sure enough it's still in use"

"Do you still want the outer skins for these packages? I don't want to take them away."

Hearing Li Fan's voice again, Sophia turned around in surprise.

"I don't want it, you can take it away."

"Great, it's really useful to pack materials with this thing."

Li Fan said happily, and picked up the ball of cloth.

After being sent out of the Dragon Worshiping Sect headquarters by the congregation, Li Fan packed the cloth strips and carried them on his shoulders.

After recording the black dragon's information, a problem arose, he had nowhere to go.

Dongduoluma seems to be bustling at night, but there is no place Li Fan wants to go.

It might be a good choice to stay overnight in the guild, but he would find it very troublesome when he thought that there would be a large number of people going to socialize as soon as he entered the gate.

Walking on the street, Li Fan came to the square with the fountain.

It wasn't cold, and a night on the bench seemed fine.

Thinking of this, Li Fan put the white molting skin on the bench, and then lay down on it.

Looking at the deep night sky with shooting stars passing by constantly, a sense of confusion emerged from my heart.

"The disappearance of those hunters before it has the power to manipulate time, maybe it has something to do with it."

It's not that Li Fan didn't think about staying away as much as possible, but if the black dragon really wanted to target him, it didn't seem like he could successfully avoid it simply by staying away.

This can be seen from the warning that pops up when inheriting character archives on the psp.

Thinking about it, the sky suddenly darkened.

Li Fan noticed that the silvery full moon was being eroded by the black crescent.

When the black engulfed half of it, the shadow cast by the half-black and half-white full moon just divided the fountain square into two from the middle.

Li Fan, who was in the shadow, picked up the white molting ball, changed to a bench illuminated by the moonlight, and lay down.

ring bell ~ ring bell ~
A girl in a white dress with bells wrapped around her ankles emerged from the shadows.

"Brother Huangpao hasn't come to work for a long time, do you know where he went?"

The girl asked with a clear voice.

Li Fan grabbed the armrest of the bench, stood up straight, looked left and right to see if there was no third person present, and responded, "I don't know, I just came back."

The girl walked to the intersection of shadow and moonlight, and asked softly, "Did you kill him?"

Li Fan, who had already noticed something strange, got up and stood up.

"who are you?"

"He hasn't participated in the parliament for so long, it seems that he is really dead, but it's good if you can come to participate."

The girl let out a small sigh.

"If the Huangpao brother you are talking about is the propagandist of the Dragon Worship Cult, I can tell you clearly that I did not kill him, and I am not here to participate in the council, I just want to take a rest."

Li Fan tentatively gave an explanation.

"Don't be nervous, now you and I are the only ones left in the council, what are you going to do next, kill the brother in red who won't come to the council?"

The girl put her hands behind her back and shook her head to look at the sky, giving off a naughty feeling.

"I, Li Fan, have never killed anyone, don't fool me."

"Well, since you have become a member of the council, I have no right to force you anymore. This time, I just want to persuade you not to do anything to Brother Hongpao. If Brother Hongpao comes to participate in the council, I will also persuade him Yes, wouldn't it be nice to let the world continue in balance?"

The girl persuaded.

"It really is you. First of all, I don't want to join any council, and I'm not a member. In addition, it doesn't depend on me at all whether to take action against Brother Hongpao."

Li Fan informed.

"Hey~ It seems that humans are not much better than monsters when they become stubborn."

The girl sighed helplessly.

"I'm just protecting, and what I think is worth protecting is not obstinate."

Li Fan retorted.

"It's a pity that you won't be the opponent. Even if you use the power not from this world, you will not be able to defeat him after all."

"Wait, you know what happened between us?"

Li Fan obviously didn't disclose the plan to the outside world, and he didn't even figure out why the black dragon would target him, but the girl in front of him seemed to believe that this war would inevitably happen.

"The hunter and the dragon have been written countless times, so it's not complicated."

The girl finished speaking with a light smile, and the shadows shrouded in darkness moved backward together with the retreat of the black moon.

"Goodbye, let's talk again next time in the Forbidden Council. I hope there will be a next time."

The girl who retreated with the shadow waved goodbye, turned and ran away.

"and many more."

"Don't wait, work will start right away, take this stack of leaflets away."

Amidst the sound of urging, Li Fan woke up from the bench, it was already early morning.

"What's the meaning."

Li Fan looked at the middle-aged man who handed over the flyer with a dazed expression.

"Aren't you new to work, a propagandist handing out leaflets?"

"no."

"I'm sorry. You're dressed so strangely, but you're not a propagandist."
