Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

The Dragon Calendar Institute, the Ancient Dragon Research Institute, the Royal Scribe Corps, and various monster research institutes have only collected four [Red Dragon Jades] in total.

They all came from the two Sky Comet Dragons that were successfully conquered before.

You have already seen the two on the Longshi ship. They are the core of the new power system.

One of the remaining two was used to make a weapon.

The last one was placed in the Elder Hall of Dongdoruma.

Therefore, your request is unlikely to be approved."

Chapter 244: Another Air Battle

Lilia had good reasons for refusing.

Han Xin nodded, but there was not much disappointment in his eyes.

"...I understand. I was abrupt."

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, what do you want to do with the [Red Dragon Jade]?"

As a scholar, Lilia still wanted to know what Han Xin's motive was for asking this question.

"It's nothing more than using the [Red Dragon Jade] to attract the attention of the female Tianhui Dragon, and then thoroughly investigate its [ecological habits]~"

This was not a lie, but Han Xin said it very implicitly.

"Although I know Mr. Han Xin has his own bold conjecture, the [Red Dragon Jade] is indeed very rare at the moment. It took me a long time to extract two pieces for the acceleration device experiment.

So... I'm really sorry."

"Well, I'll figure it out myself."

The things he wanted to investigate had been clarified, and Han Xin had no reason to stay in these information rooms filled with the scent of books. He waved his cat paws and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, he said to Lilia:

"...I know that many of the weapons used by hunters, as well as daily necessities and scientific research equipment, are made from monster materials.

But I think it would be better to turn off the new acceleration device when the Dragon Knowledge Ship sets sail again."

"……I will think about it."

Watching Han Xin's back as he left the door, Lilia lowered her brows silently.

Regarding the accelerator, she heard similar words from both Al and Han Xin.

"Alas... things have come to this point. There is no turning back."

After muttering to herself, she took out a small booklet from the inner pocket of her white scholar's robe, searched through a pile of books, and carried it to the desk provided in the reference room.

He kept flipping through the development history of Elgard since its founding until today, trying to find the documents he needed.

During this period, she came here almost every day to look for information, which is why she met Han Xin.

After searching for a long time, Lilia still couldn't find the content she wanted, and she didn't even make a few notes in the notebook.

And the booklet clearly read:

The Relationship between the Emergence of Taboo and the Development of Human Civilization. First Edition. Manuscript. Detailed Explanation.

……

A few days later, the Longshi ship was finally repaired.

The outer wall of the power reactor that was attacked by the comet dragon has also been completely renewed.

In order to obtain the same quality of Juejiuliu (six) Si6qi⑻Wobajiajieyunmu, a lot of manpower and material resources were consumed.

Now the Dragon Knowledge Ship has also received a recall order from the Dragon Calendar Institute headquarters in Beruna Village, and is preparing to return from Elgard.

Of course, the relevant topics of the Ice Curse Dragon have been successfully applied for, and the Dragon Calendar Institute has naturally temporarily placed an [Ice Curse Dragon's Zero Jade] in Elgard for scholars to study.

Lilia finally chose to let the Dragon Ship keep the new acceleration device running.

The reason she gave was that the request for recall from the Dragon Calendar Institute headquarters was urgent and she needed to return as soon as possible.

However, she also did not forget the reminder from Ai'er and Han Xin, so she planned to drive Theseus to escort them until they left the area of ​​the Fortress Heights.

After completing the escort mission, she planned to stay in Elgard for a while.

In Lilia's plan, she and the team of scholars from the Dragon Academy who stayed in Elgard will continue to conduct research on certain topics with the local Monster Research Institute.

During this period, she intended to befriend Fiorina and others in the kingdom, and tried to establish a new scientific research project with the kingdom on behalf of the Dragon Calendar Institute.

During this period, if we can successfully find the trace of the Sky Comet Dragon, we can then completely repel or defeat it.

Because of his friendship with Han Xin, Ye Zi and others,

At a dinner before the Dragon Knowledge Ship set sail, Lilia told the former about her plan and that the Dragon Knowledge Ship would be returning.

Both young people, Ye Zi and Kate, felt regretful.

The reason is that Kate and Ye Zi believed the rumors spread by the group of slacking hunters in the gathering place.

It is said that as long as you worship the dragon ship on the airship platform devoutly every day,

You can dig out precious dragon jade every time you skin a monster corpse, or collect rare materials when digging bone mounds and minerals.

Originally they just wanted to give it a try, but it seems that they really gained a lot from it.

It seems that the Dragon Knowledge Ship has become a sacred object for the Elgard hunters.

Han Xin's performance was completely different from the other two.

Instead, he was a little excited, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So after dinner, Han Xin found Lilia alone and asked to escort the Dragon Knowledge Ship with her.

Lilia was only slightly surprised by this, and then she regained her composure.

"Mr. Han Xin is truly thoughtful. It would be rude to refuse such a kind offer. I will apply for a reward for you in the name of the Dragon Calendar Institute."

"Okay, then please deposit it directly into Alulu's name."

The man and the cat reached a consensus in a few words. Both parties were smart people, so they stopped arguing with each other and went home.

Wait until the day of departure.

The kingdom's knights, Elgard's guild hunters, and even the common people saw off the Dragon Knowledge Ship as it departed.

The hard work and kindness of the Longliyuan crew made everyone here remember them.

There were even local elderly people who brought their children to go on blind dates with the Longliyuan crew.

"Dad, take care of yourself, meow~ Don't be too cold to everyone on the Dragon Knowledge Ship, meow~"

"Mr. Benefactor, once you've completed your mission, please return to the Elgard Gathering House to report your safety. Don't continue conducting research in the Fortress Heights without a word. I'll get worried too!"

Looking at the Dragon Consciousness Ship and Theseus gradually taking off, Elulu and Ye Zi stood on the airship platform and said goodbye to Han Xin before their temporary separation.

Han Xin just waved at the people below without saying much.

This time, Han Xin and Lilia traveled together on the Theseus.

Although the Theseus did not have any new acceleration device, it was still able to barely catch up with the Dragon Ship at full speed due to its much smaller size.

The relationship between the two is similar to that between a speedboat and an aircraft carrier.

No matter how fast the dragon ship is, its speed will be affected by its large size.

Before the birth of the new acceleration device, the Dragon Awareness Ship would be harassed by various flying dragons from time to time, but now it can easily escape the pursuit of ordinary flying dragons.

Therefore, the birth of the new acceleration device is not to show off the speed, but to actually protect the Dragon Knowledge Ship.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh.

Starting from Elgard, crossing the Fortress Heights, passing through Minagard, Kokot Village, Dondoruma and Naguli Village, you can finally reach the village of Beruna.

But when driving at high speeds, a journey that originally took weeks is compressed into a few days.

It only takes one day to cross the Fortress Heights, and if you are lucky you won't encounter the Sky Comet Dragon.

However, this is just speculation by scholars.

Halfway through the Fortress Heights, Lilia and Han Xin stood on the deck together, facing the wind and observing their surroundings.

Two crew members from the Dragon ship came to Theseus specifically to steer the ship and supply it with coal, so as to ensure that the two major combat forces could be on standby on the deck at any time.

"It's really nice weather. We didn't even see any flying dragon monsters. It seems that everything went smoothly."

After scanning the area with the telescope, Lilia said with a slight sense of relief.

"I hope so."

Han Xin said this, but he had a different premonition.

He always felt that the Sky Comet Dragon would visit again.

"You know, Mr. Han Xin, you always remind me of someone I once fought alongside..."

Just as Lilia was about to chat and while away her leisure time, she suddenly noticed something and abruptly stopped chatting.

The moment Lilia turned her head, Han Xin also noticed something was wrong!

When both of them were in a state of tension, Long Shichuan finally sounded an alarm!

"Sky Comet Dragon! Discovered!"

"Tsk!"

Lilia gasped in surprise and quickly ran to the loudspeaker on the deck of Theseus, shouting to the alert crew:

"Disable the new acceleration device and use only the buoyancy device and the coal supply to propel the Dragon Knowledge Ship forward!"

"understand!"

Even with the new acceleration device, Lilia knew that the Dragon Knowledge Ship could not escape the Sky Comet Dragon; the pursuit of this specialized flying ancient dragon was

I might as well try to block the energy dissipation of the [Red Dragon Jade] and see if I can make that guy retreat on his own.

However, Gu Long is not so easy to fool.

The red star transformed from the Sky Comet Dragon was still heading straight towards the Dragon Consciousness Ship, without hesitation due to the dissipation of the energy of the red dragon jade.

Seeing that this strategy was ineffective, Lilia sent a message to the helmsman of Theseus.
