Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

Han Xin responded very cleverly.

"Eyes?... That makes perfect sense. Even among the ancient dragons with extraordinary abilities, the Sky Comet Dragon possesses one of the best superb eyesight.

This gives him an advantage in hunting and competing for territory, but like a fire dragon, his excellent eyesight also makes his eyes very sensitive."

Lilia nodded thoughtfully. As an academic staff member of the Dragon Calendar Academy, this made it easier for her to imagine Han Xin's explanation.

Although she still had some doubts, did the Sky Comet Dragon choose to retreat just because it was attacked in the eyes?

But in the face of facts, Lilia still chose to believe it.

"...Anyway, thank you very much for your help. I'll apply to the Longli Academy for a small reward as a token of my appreciation. Also... I owe you a favor."

Just as the two were talking, the cabin door opened.

Yako and the Kingdom's knights, as well as the scholars and crew members, all walked onto the deck.

"Mr. Benefactor?! Are you okay?!"

More anxious than anyone else, Ye Zi rushed out and stood on the deck, looking around. After seeing that Han Xin and Lilia were safe and sound, he immediately ran to their side.

"Ah, and Miss Lilia, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, who do you think I am?"

Seeing that Ye Zi was about to cry, Han Xin winked at her to reassure her.

At the same time, the knights of the kingdom and other people who came out one after another gathered around the two of them, and while still in shock, they expressed their most sincere gratitude.

However, between the lines of the thanks given by the knights of the kingdom, there was a hint of guilt.

"...We, as the Kingdom's Knights, are unable to offer any assistance in this matter. We are truly sorry."

Although it was Lilia who stubbornly kept them in the safe cabin, they still felt bad for pushing the danger onto one man and one cat.

In addition, they are also aware of their own strength, and even if they join the war, they may not be able to help, which makes them feel even more ashamed.

"Please don't say that, Admiral Fiorina. It was my arbitrary decision to keep you all in the cabin.

The Dragon Knowledge Ship is, after all, an airship of the Xixured Nation. When you board it, it means you have set foot on our country's territory.

As the 'host,' I naturally cannot let you make any mistakes. After all, I don't want this incident to become a diplomatic crisis."

Fortunately, as a senior member of the Dragon Calendar Academy, Lilia is naturally well versed in the ways of the world. She comforted them tactfully without undermining their dignity.

In order to prevent any further incidents, the Dragon Knowledge Ship decided to fly to Elgard and make a brief stop for emergency repairs.

Since the outer side of the power reactor was damaged, the foreman of the power room decided to reduce the power and fly slowly.

During this period, the crew members will guide everyone to rest.

"We still have a few hours before landing in Elgard, Mr. Han Xin. You must be tired after such a battle. I will arrange a superior room for you. Please have a good rest."

“…You are right.”

Although Han Xin didn't feel very tired, he always felt that there was a bit of maternal radiance in Lilia's eyes. Han Xin found it difficult to refuse her gentle suggestion.

Perhaps this was also the reason why the Kingdom's knights, who always faced death with indifference, could not help but follow Lilia's advice.

Lilia also chose to return to her lounge after finishing some matters.

However, as the lounge for the chief hunter of the Dragon Calendar Academy, it is not very big, and is even narrower than the lounge for ordinary employees.

In addition, the room seemed a bit crowded due to the presence of several bookshelves and workbenches.

A large pile of documents and books was piled on a small bed, which would make ordinary workers feel suffocated when they saw it.

But when Lilia returned to the small lounge, she breathed a long sigh of relief and seemed very relaxed.

Ever since the battle with an ancient dragon more than fifty years ago, this small corner has become the place where she feels most at ease.

Even when she was on her own ship, Theseus, she had never felt so relaxed.

Only by working day and night can she forget the pain and troubles.

Just as she was about to collapse on the small bed that was almost too crowded with documents, she found a familiar figure sleeping soundly on her couch.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

Even though there was such chaos outside, the person on the bed was still sleeping soundly as a rock, even snoring comfortably.

When Lilia saw this person, her veins suddenly popped up.

She picked up a not-so-heavy document from her desk and slammed it hard at the person on the bed!

Snapped!

In fact, the force was not very strong, but the sound was very loud.

"Oh?"

The person sleeping soundly was Al.

The document woke her up, but she didn't show any panic or apology.

It was like waking up from your room on a quiet and peaceful afternoon.

El stretched, sat on the bed, crossed her legs, and looked at the man who had thrown the documents at her.

"It's been resolved? It's faster than I thought... Aa ...

Before Ai Er could finish her words, Lilia immediately put her arms around her slender waist and carried her out of the house as if she were throwing away garbage.

"Wait wait! I have something to tell you!"

In front of Lilia, Al was like a little chicken.

Hearing this, the former stopped, thought for a moment, rolled his eyes and sighed.

He threw Al onto the office chair and sat down on the most comfortable bed.

Lilia said impatiently:

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have any questions."

"That Melalu named Han Xin is very special."

Who knew that Ai'erqunyi> Lingyi brought Wu back to life! Just: IV Dad instantly put away his frivolous look, and instead hugged the back of the office chair and said seriously.

"...I can see that he is definitely not an ordinary Melalu."

Lilia looked up at the ceiling and responded calmly.

"But don't worry, he will definitely not be our enemy."

"...Well, that couldn't be better."

Without asking why, Lilia chose to believe it.

Although the two seemed to have a bad relationship in the past, Lilia seemed to believe in what El said.

"Also, Lilia, give up your research on [Monster Energy Conversion]. There's still time."

Al, who always did his own thing, showed an unusual pleading look in his eyes.

"...Please forgive me for refusing."

Without hesitation, Lilia chose to deny it.

Al raised his little head which was leaning on the back of the chair and looked deeply at Lilia.

"Lilia, I know that everything you do is for humanity, and you have never done anything to harm the ecology.

But ancient dragons everywhere are starting to stir. Don't you understand why?"

"Of course I know. That's why I'm accelerating my research on this topic, to prevent [that guy] from destroying human civilization again!"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Lilia's eyes.

“…You think you’re racing with [that guy]?

Lilia, you're wrong. You're gambling with [that guy] again! You're gambling with countless lives!

Aren't the examples of the ruins of Shured and the remains of Dragon City enough?"

Al became more and more serious, but even so, Lilia still looked at the ceiling with a firm gaze.

"... We were able to defeat Him fifty years ago, and we can do it this time too!"

"..."

El was silent for a long time, but finally, she moved her lips and asked with difficulty:

"Who else are you going to sacrifice this time?"

This sentence was like a sharp thorn that pierced Lilia's heart.

Her pupils trembled, and countless sad memories flooded into her mind.

But after hesitating for a moment, she immediately bit her lip.

As if realizing that something was wrong, Al lowered his head.

"Sorry, Lilia, I take it back."

"...Okay, Al, I'm tired, you can go now."

Without further elaboration, Al pulled himself out of his office chair and headed towards the door. Before leaving, he said,

"That Sky Comet Dragon was attracted by the massive amount of dragon-attribute energy released by the Dragon Qi Jade in the Accelerator Power Furnace, as well as the scent of the Sky Comet Dragon materials in the warehouse."

"If it threatens human activity areas, I will deal with it."

Hearing the expected words, Al took a deep breath and then acted as lively as before.

"Oh my, you are so majestic, legendary hunter. Since you have made up your mind, there is no need for me to stay here. I will return to East Dorma first. Don't miss me~"

……

When Han Xin and others stepped on the solid ground, it was already early morning.

Normally, those who survived the disaster should have a good rest, but the scholars from the Dragon Calendar Institute and Elgard were investigating in full swing.

The route of this Sky Comet Dragon, the effect of the dragon energy cannon residue on the corrosion of the cloud wood, etc.,

Many questions are waiting to be answered by this group of greedy people who regard the truth as gold, so they naturally have to discuss them as soon as possible.

After comforting Ye Zi, Han Xin tried to find Ai Er's whereabouts and ask for more information.
