Chapter 225 The price of manpower shaking the sky

"I don't know."

Guta clutched his knees uneasily, his tone full of confusion. "The New World investigation is such an important matter, why not let the official members of the Gulong regiment preside over the work, but try our best to select from a group of reserves."

"In case of any unexpected situation, it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out."

For Guta's doubts, Valentina seems to have foreseen it, or rather, she is no stranger to it.

After changing to a more comfortable sitting position, her expression relaxed a little. "It's not as serious as you think. In fact, several members of the ancient dragon group have gone to the New World to conduct investigations before."

"But they didn't dare to go too deep without supplies."

"As for why the head of the first batch of regiments should be selected from among you reserve seeds..." Valentina paused, and gave Guta a meaningful look.

"Because you are young and have enough life and time to complete the complete exploration of the New World."

"Nearly 1/3 of the ancient dragon group is about to reach the limit of their lifespan. Even the dragonmen whose lifespan is several times longer, the physical damage caused by years of fighting has greatly overdrawn their vitality. Basically, few of them survived to the end of their lives."

There was inexplicable sadness in Valentina's tone.

The cruel truth made Guta feel a little bored for a while.

He didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

"Except for special beings like Saga and Lina who have gone out of their own way and truly broke through the limits of their race, this is the case for most of the ancient dragon group."

"It's not difficult to understand. If you want to be strong, you have to pay a price."

Noticing that Guta was looking at her, Valentina was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you think I didn't pay anything?"

"..."

If there was such an idea in the first place, then the ancient pagoda is basically confirmed now.

Valentina, not the special one.

"Guess, how old am I?" Valentina asked with a smile, stroking the almost invisible wrinkles around her eyes.

"Considering that you are a dragon person, fifty or sixty?"

Guta hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

In fact, he still said less. With the average lifespan of the dragon people above [-] years, if there are wrinkles around the eyes, it should be more than [-], or even [-]. "

"Hawk, did you hear that, this kid thinks I'm older than you." Valentina didn't return to the ancient tower immediately, but turned and shouted to Hawke who was eating breakfast behind the bar.

Hawke, who was stuffing dessert into his mouth, froze for a moment, and then continued to eat in silence.

"I..." Valentina ignored Hawke's strangeness and said, "I'm 36 this year~"

This time, even the ancient tower was completely silent.

Inexplicably, he thought of Weizet's arms full of hideous scars, and [Magical Mechanism] Noxi who was completely hidden in the mechanical shell.

Did they all pay a corresponding price for their strength?

"Don't show such an expression..." Standing on tiptoe, rubbing Guta's hair with some difficulty, Valentina showed a calm smile, "Compared to those hunters who died in missions, our Already very lucky."

Guta hesitated to speak, but in the end he still didn't speak, only feeling that his heart was blocked.

Unlike his cheating existence, do most hunters, even the geniuses of the ancient dragon group, have such a difficult life?

For the first time, Guta felt that he gradually realized the cruelty of this world.

However, think about it...

Although the seniors of the ancient dragon group are powerful, their opponents are those mobile natural disasters that destroy the world at every turn!

Manpower shakes the sky, probably so.

How could it be possible not to sacrifice something?
"Don't think too much, you just need to think about how to enhance your own strength now." Hawke's voice slowly floated from behind the bar, "Wait until you become an official member, then worry about it, now It's useless to think too much."

"At least for now, there is still a tall one standing against it." Speaking of this, Hawke specifically glanced at Valentina.

"Well, that's about it." Valentina chuckled, then took out a special badge with a blue star from behind the bar, and put it on Guta's chest with her head down.

"From today onwards, you are the captain of the one-star team, come on~"

"In the natural disaster hunt in half a year, help me beat up those arrogant little devils."

Guta looked down at the badge, looked up at Guta who was full of smiles, and at some point, Hawke, who was drinking wine with his head down, nodded fiercely.

"I will."

……

it's almost afternoon

Nia and Weiwei, who were well-rested for the time being, lined up like a train and walked down the stairs.

On a table near the stairs, Guta was casually flipping through the picture book of Yanhuo Village brought back by Miejin, letting out admiration from time to time.

"Awesome, how did the painters in Yanhuo Village manage to use such a blurred picture to fully express the images of those monsters?"

"Especially I can see each one at a glance."

Mie Jin nodded at the side, and said seriously: "It seems to be their special inherited painting method, which is difficult for outsiders to imitate, and those paints seem to use special plant juice, no matter how long it takes, the pictures in the picture book will be Keep it bright."

"Ha~" Weiwei with disheveled hair yawned fiercely, then sat down on the side of the ancient tower, "Good morning~"

Guta gave her an annoyed look, and pointed to the hot sunlight outside, "If you stay later, we can all prepare dinner."

"Speaking of which, do you have any plans for these two days?" Guta said to Nia who was on the side.

The daily arrangements in the team have always been in charge of Nia, who is the chief of staff.

"In the past two days, it will take a lot of time for Weiwei to make two long-range sets of the Thousand Blade Dragon and your Dragon Slaying Hammer in Guta."

Nia patted her face a little, and forced herself to wake up a bit, "Weiwei, you should stop participating in missions recently, or you will have to hunt and forge at the same time, and you will be too tired."

"Exercising or something, you can stop for a while."

Hearing this, Weiwei scratched her head in embarrassment, "Don't stop exercising or something. For me, once a habit is broken, it can never be picked up again."

"It's rare to see you reliable once." Guta patted Weiwei's shoulder with a gratified expression.

Suddenly, Niya noticed that there seemed to be a special symbol on Guta's chest.

"Guta, this is... our one-star team's application, has it been approved?"

Nia reacted quickly.

"Well, from today onwards, everyone is a member of the one-star team~" Guta smiled heartily, showing his big white teeth.

Although the one-star team is nothing, it has more or less proved that they have broken away from the category of rookies.

In the future, more missions will be officially opened to them.

Really looking forward to it!
