Chapter 72 The Meteor Dragon Gathering (3rd update, please subscribe)

Once the main materials are sorted out, the remaining auxiliary materials are easy to handle.

It all boils down to finding and researching suitable alternative materials.

Anton compiled a list of all the materials that might be needed.

Most of these can be gathered around Silvermoon Forest and taken directly from the clan storehouse.

A few types require purchasing from Bishui Port, but they are not rare items and are not difficult to obtain.

After arranging the next steps, Anton felt much more relaxed, got up and left the treehouse, heading towards the Hall of Eternity.

Sunlight penetrates through the layers of tree canopy, scattering dappled light across the forest floor.

The sweet fragrance of honeybees floated in the air, and several songbirds perched on the branches, their calls clear and melodious.

Since the destruction of the Molten Thorn tribe, Silvermoon Forest has taken on a completely new look.

The oppressive feeling of constant threat and the numerous bloody battles that took place every winter finally dissipated from the elves' hearts.

Instead, there is a relaxed and hopeful atmosphere.

The elves he encountered on the road all had smiles on their faces and greeted Anton more warmly than usual.

Several children playing on the pergola even chased after him for a while, until his mother called him back with a smile.

Anton responded to each question, his pace unhurried, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a commotion.

Following the sound, Anton saw a group of figures moving hurriedly toward Yusuo, their footsteps accompanied by low shouts.

Out of curiosity, he quickened his pace and walked over. As he got closer, he saw a group of elven guards supporting several blood-soaked dwarves as they headed towards Yu Suo.

Most of the dwarves were unconscious, their armor shattered, their wounds bloody and mangled, leaving dark red trails on the ground.

Anton's gaze sharpened, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

The leading elven guard, recognizing Anton as the newcomer, immediately stopped, bowed slightly in greeting, and then solemnly replied, "Lord Anton, the Rockhorn Dragons have attacked the mining area, and many of our dwarf brothers have been injured."

"Rockhorn Dragon?" Anton frowned in confusion.

Rockhorn Dragons always stay in their own territory and never wander off, right?

The mining camp has been established for more than ten years and has always lived in peace with the Rockhorn Dragon. Why would this beast suddenly attack the mining area?

The guard whispered, "This morning, the Rockhorn Dragon suddenly appeared near the mining area and attacked the camp. The dwarves were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Elder Thorwin fought desperately to hold it off until the Second and Third Elders arrived and repelled the Rockhorn Dragon."

Anton nodded knowingly, glanced at the unconscious dwarf, raised his hand, and a wisp of emerald green true essence condensed at his fingertips. He wrote the runes in the air like dragons and snakes, and they took shape in an instant.

The moment the last stroke was made, the talisman suddenly lit up, transforming into a warm, emerald-green mist that seeped into the dwarf's body like water.

In an instant, the dwarf's wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, apart from being covered in blood, the dwarf was no longer injured. His furrowed brows relaxed, and his breathing returned to normal.

Anton continued to draw talismans from his breath and create life-giving talismans, healing the remaining dwarves one by one.

The surrounding elven guards stared in disbelief.

When they came to their senses, their gazes toward Anton were immediately filled with admiration.

"Alright," Anton said calmly. "The injuries have healed, but they still need to recuperate due to the deficiency of qi and blood. Remember to feed them more foods that replenish qi and blood, and they will recover completely after a few days of rest."

"Yes, Lord Anton," the leading elven guard replied respectfully.

Despite being much older than Anton, he was able to use a respectful title for the latter without any reservations.

The other elves showed no unusual expression, not finding it strange at all.

Regardless of Anton's contributions to the clan, his own strength alone is enough to make people overlook his age and respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

Anton nodded, turned and left, continuing toward the Hall of Eternal Repose.

Even when he was still some distance from the hall, his divine sense had already detected the four people inside.

Besides the three elders, the other one was Thorvin.

After the war, Hagrid and Knut returned to Greyrock Keep with reinforcements and rune equipment, while Thorvin remained in Thousand Rock Hills, leading dwarven warriors to guard the mining camp and rarely leaving the mining area.

Based on what the elven guard just said, the reason why Thorvin is here is self-evident.

Anton pushed open the door and entered, and the conversation in the hall immediately fell silent.

"Anton, you've come at the perfect time."

The Third Elder was the first to speak, his face devoid of its usual smile, instead filled with solemnity.

"I've heard that the Rockhorn Dragon attacked the mining area," Anton interrupted before he could continue. "Third Elder, why did the Rockhorn Dragon suddenly leave its territory?"

The Third Elder sighed: "It all comes down to the Radiant Dragon."

"After the Shining Dragon flew over the battlefield that day, it also passed through the Thousand Rock Hills."

"The scouts responsible for monitoring the Rockhorn saw the Rockhorn run away from its territory in fright. For the next few days, it wandered around restlessly until today, when it finally ran to the vicinity of the mining area. Upon discovering the camp, it launched an attack without saying a word."

Anton was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

It turns out that it was Hui Jinlong who caused the trouble.

However, the Rockhorn Dragon is a bit too timid.

Even though the Shining Dragon had a natural bloodline suppression over it, it was only passing over its territory and did nothing, yet it was so frightened that it ran away from home and didn't even dare to go back.

Anton had previously only suspected that the Dark Thunder species alone might not be enough to defeat the Rockhorn Dragon.

Now it is absolutely certain.

Given the Rockhorn's cowardice, if it senses anything amiss, it will most likely run away without hesitation.

To hunt such timid and wary prey, you must create an environment that prevents it from escaping.

"After we repelled that beast, it didn't leave but continued to linger near the mining area. I'm worried that it might attack the mining area again at any time."

Tolvin took over the conversation.

His face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries in the previous battle.

Anton's gaze swept over the three elders, whose brows were furrowed, and his eyes flickered slightly.

He was still figuring out how to persuade the elders to help him deal with the Rockhorn Dragon.

After all, the Rockhorn Dragon has been staying in its own territory and has not shown any signs of threatening the mining area so far. Without a suitable reason, it would be difficult to persuade the elders to help him hunt down a sub-dragon at the peak of the Gold rank.

But now that the Rockhorn Dragons are actively attacking the mining area, the situation is completely different.

The importance of the Frostmoon Silver Mine to the Silvermoon Clan goes without saying. The Elder Council will never sit idly by while the Rockhorn Dragons interfere with the mine's production, and will certainly find a way to solve this problem.

He didn't even need to say a word; the elders would naturally push this matter forward.

Sure enough, the next second the Second Elder spoke in a deep voice: "We must deal with the Rockhorn Dragon."

His tone was firm: "We cannot allow this beast to threaten the safety of the mining area."

"I agree," the Third Elder nodded in agreement. "If we let this beast continue to roam outside, the mining area simply cannot function properly."

Thorvin nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Half of the Froststone Silver produced in the mining area also comes from Grayrock Fortress.

Even if it's a golden-level sub-dragon, if it dares to obstruct the dwarves from mining, they will not let it go easily.

The Grand Elder turned to Anton and asked, "Anton, what do you think?"

The hall fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Anton.

Although Anton was the youngest in the hall, his position in the clan had become extremely important after the battle that destroyed the Molten Thorn tribe.

No one dared to ignore his opinions.

Anton remained calm and nodded slightly: "I also agree with taking the initiative."

He paused, then added, "However, I need some time to make some preparations. Once I'm ready, I'll be more confident in dealing with the Rockhorn Dragon."

"No problem," the elder said without hesitation. "Just tell me what you need, and the clan will fully support you."

The Second Elder and Third Elder looked much more relaxed upon hearing this.

Anton's record to date is undeniable, and he has never disappointed.

Since he said that, he must have some other methods.

With Anton's words, they instantly gained more confidence in dealing with the Rockhorn Dragon.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing," the Third Elder suddenly said, his tone becoming somewhat strange. "The clansmen who went to Azurewater Harbor to purchase supplies brought back news that a group of mysterious people attacked the Dragonborn soldiers stationed at White Sail Wharf, killing more than a dozen Dragonborn before fleeing. The local garrison officer was furious and ordered the Azurewater Council to conduct a city-wide manhunt for the attackers."

"The entire Bishui Port is in a state of panic right now. The port is under lockdown, and our procurement of supplies has been affected."

Upon hearing this, the First Elder, the Second Elder, and Thorvin were all taken aback.

How dare someone attack a Dragonborn?

Aren't you afraid of being wanted and hunted down by the city of Kreisor?

"Has the Azure Water Council found out the other party's background?" the Second Elder asked.

The Third Elder shook his head: "I've only heard that it's a mysterious organization called the Meteor Dragon Society, but I don't know anything more about its origins."

Meteor Dragon Society?

The other three looked at each other in bewilderment.

This name... it sounds like it's going against the dragon race.

No wonder they dared to attack and kill a Dragonborn soldier in the street.

None of the three noticed the fleeting surprise on Anton's face the moment he heard the words "Meteor Dragon Society".

"The Meteor Dragon Society has actually come to Eldorlon Plains?"

Anton's expression quickly returned to normal, but his mind was racing.

As its name suggests, the Fallen Dragon Society is an organization dedicated to hunting dragonborn, dragons, and all those with interests related to dragons.

Its members are mostly intelligent beings who have suffered persecution from dragons or dragon descendants. They come from various races and have diverse origins, but they have come together with the common goal of destroying the Dragon Court.

During the era when the dragons ruled the Dawn Continent, the Meteor Dragon Society was extremely active and killed a large number of dragon descendants.

In the year 9946 of the Dawn Calendar, he killed a giant dragon, causing a sensation and revealing the weakness of the dragon race. Subsequently, all races rose up in rebellion, and the war to slay the dragon began.

In a sense, it can be said that the Meteor Dragon Society was a major driving force behind the downfall of the Dragon Court.

It is worth mentioning that the Meteor Dragon Society has a total of five leaders, who come from the five largest races on the Dawn Continent besides the Dragon Clan, and are known as the Five Star Pillars.

However, players prefer to call them the Dragon Slayer Squad.

In the crucial battle that followed, it was these five who joined forces to kill the ruler of the Dragon Court, thus securing the victory of the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Races.

The rise to fame of the Five Star Pillars is reminiscent of a group of brave warriors.

When Anton went to Biyue Harbor, he tried to find out information about the Meteor Dragon Society, but to no avail.

Clearly, the Meteor Dragon Society had not yet expanded its activities to the Eldron Plains at that time.

I never expected to hear news about them so suddenly.
