When Taketo played with his pockets, he took out the red magic stone.If you set it on a Spirit Gun and pull the trigger lightly, the flame will stretch out like flame radiation from the muzzle.As Tonyoshi stepped off the shoulder of the tacket, he went near the flame in a shaky motion, shaking his body with pull pull and snow.The flame lasted only a few seconds, but it was good that it warmed up even for a short time.
That Earth Dragon looks like Armadillo or Senzankou.
Both are scaly mammals, but I have seen them many times when I was involved in a smuggling investigation as a detective in the world, especially since Senzankou was overwhelmed and threatened with extinction to become a herbal medicine ingredient.They are, of course, creatures that live in warm areas such as Africa and South Asia.
The reason is that they are vulnerable to the cold.Scale-shaped hair like that armor is so stiff that even bullets are sometimes said to play.However, to gain its defenses, it has lost its thermal insulation.Unlike fluffy hair, it doesn't have a structure that keeps you warm.
(If so, I think that Earth Dragon is the same.)
That ground dragon must also be vulnerable to the cold.
That's why I thought that if we could use this enclosed underground space to keep the temperature down as much as possible, we could contain the movement.
Vincent used that ring to order the earth dragon to run wild.
The stone fitted into the ring felt like a device once attached to a sand whale broken by a tacket.In fact, it is no coincidence that Chante used to say "disgusting" in both the sand whale and the ring.
Then there is a device similar to a sand whale somewhere in the body of that earth dragon.If we destroy it, maybe the Earth Dragon will stop going wild, just as it did with the sand whales.I didn't feel that way.
We have to stop him first.
When I noticed it, the snowstorm that was ringing behind me stopped.Together with Tonyoshi, he came out of the shadow of the door and peered into the underground space, and the view around him was completely different.
The blizzard had already left.Instead, there's a lot of frustration coming from the ceiling and above the ground.Floors, walls, and ceilings were covered with ice like skating links.
In the middle, the earth dragon squatted down.Close your eyes tightly and circle your nose with your front legs.The body was covered with white frost.
The tacket passed under the door, and it was about time for him to hold his feet and approach the earth dragon.On the way, Tonyoshi on his shoulder was in a hurry when he had a big scuffle, but the earth dragon didn't bother him.
Maybe... he's dead? Too much?I just wanted to make it impossible to move, and I didn't intend to do so much damage, so I was a little anxious inside, but when I got closer and looked closely, I saw my nose breathing from between my front legs, which was a bit like hot air.
I'm glad you're alive.
Watch carefully the immobilized Earth Dragon as you circle around it.I checked to see if that red device was on, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere from outside.Is it under the scale?You won't know until you get very close to it.
As the tacket approached the belly of the squatting earth dragon, it turned up one by one under the scale and peered from below.Then, under the scales of her neck, she found something similar to the red device.
I want to flatten the size a little smaller than when it comes to sand whales.The transparent container is filled with red liquid.In addition, there were several thick legs coming out of the container, which were stuck firmly to the neck of the ground dragon.
When the tacket climbed over the front leg of the earth dragon, it lifted the scale with its left hand and pulled the trigger of the Spirit Gun with its right hand to destroy the device from close range.
The red liquid inside splashes.The smell of fluffy and intense blood blurred the nostrils and the tacket frowned.
It was then.
The earth dragon, which had never moved before, tried to wipe its fat tail off the tacket.
(Eh...!?)
It was such a rude move that a cow would tail a fly, but there wasn't a pile of tobacco that was as big as a fly as a ground dragon.I managed to avoid the thread and tail by jumping down from the front leg in a hurry.However, when he landed on the ground, the second shot was shaken down.
(Yikes...!)
I couldn't escape. I couldn't help but close my eyes, but I didn't get the shock I expected.
Looking up, I saw a big black beast in front of the tacket.He looks like a wolf in black fur.It was Fenryl, Ulu and Garun.Garn squeezed the tail of the earth dragon into his mouth and stood in front of him as Ulu defended the tacket.
Karon also appeared on Ulu's back.Taketo shouts at him.
"Karon, the device is destroyed! He won't obey Vincent's orders anymore!"
When he screams, Karon turns around and puts out his hand.
"That said, it must be dangerous if it's originally violent."
When the tacket jumped into Ulu's body with momentum, Karon stretched out his hand.As soon as Karon pulled the tacket up to Ulu's back, Ulu turned around and ran toward the lift door.Soon after that, Garun will follow.
While sticking to Ulu's back, Taketo turned around and asked about the earth dragon.The Earth Dragon sneaked up on us, but quickly turned his back as if he had lost interest.I don't think we're going to attack any more.And he was secretly poking his head into a hole that he had opened.It seemed like he was trying to get back into the hole.
As they left the door, Ulu gently went up the stairs.It was gone, and the bright sun outside jumped into my eyes.We finally got off to the ground.
After that, the ground dragon never came out of the ground.
After a while, I went back to underground space for confirmation, but there was no large earth dragon already there.Apparently, he slipped down that hole into the basement and went somewhere.
This joint investigation between the Knights and the Office of the Magic Beast Poacher has enabled us to capture Rocco and the organization's executives.In addition to the "shop", Rocco's mansion, where Taketo was once invited, and the auction venue were quickly suppressed, and the network of magical beasts and veterinarians created by Rocco was destroyed.Arrestees, such as collaborators and members of a scattered base, climbed to three digits.
But anywhere in those bases, I didn't see Chante and Vincent grabbing her.
However, an interrogation with Rocco revealed that Vincent was researching the beast with the help of the Virginian Empire.It appears that Rocco was gathering beasts from all over the country and offering them to Vincent.Rocco seemed to have grown rapidly with funding from Vincent.It was also clear that there was an empire behind it.
Vincent said he was transporting a beast supplied by Rocco to his "lab" in Imperial territory.Rocco has been there several times, but he was taken in a carriage with windows blocked by Vincent, so I didn't know where to find out.
According to Rocco, there were many magical devices in his "lab" that I had never seen before.
It was thought that Vincent had returned there.Chante may have been taken there with him.
Taketo wanted to go looking for Chante immediately, but to stop Rocco's organization altogether, he had to knock on the base, and the search for Chante was difficult to accomplish because of such work.
And a month after I went searching the "shop" in Rocco.
Diplomatic negotiations between the Kingdom of Genoa and the Virginian Empire, which were underwater, were broken.The Virginian Empire declared war on the Kingdom.
Thus the two countries entered a state of war.
