Chapter 1323 Dragon Relics Research Association

Chapter 1321 Dragon Relics Research Association

As Mavica and Ianshan were envisioning the lively scene of the Holy Night Pilgrimage, the door to the council hall was suddenly pushed open gently, and Shao Yun's voice came in.

"Mavika, are you busy right now? I need your help with something urgent."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Mavica couldn't help but smile, a barely perceptible joy flashing in her eyes.

She had just turned around, ready to greet Shao Yun with her usual enthusiasm, when her gaze inadvertently swept over Ying behind Shao Yun.

The corners of her mouth, which had been turned up slightly, twitched slightly. Mavica quickly suppressed her overly expressive emotions, replaced them with a polite smile, and her tone became calmer.

"Mr. Shao Yun... Oh, I didn't expect your whole family to come. Is there something important?"

She looked at Ying with gentle eyes and even nodded as a greeting... As for what she was thinking, that remains unknown.

Ifa stepped forward first and explained, "Lord Vulcan, it's like this, Mr. Shao Yun's little dragon 'Potato Pancake' has suddenly fallen ill, and the situation is very strange."

Immediately afterwards, Yifa told Shao Yunjia about the strange, unknown illness that Xiaolong had contracted.

After hearing Ifa's words, Mavica's expression gradually became subtle.

She is the fire goddess of Nata, skilled in combat and tribal governance, but completely ignorant of dragon diseases! How could she possibly cure such a strange illness that even professional dragon doctors cannot handle?

What troubled her even more was that Nata was currently busy preparing for the Holy Night of the Return of Fire, and she had to personally handle all the big and small matters. She was so busy every day that she couldn't spare any extra time to deal with Xiaolong's affairs.

But the Shao Yun before him was a hero who had helped Nata resolve the crisis in the abyss, repeatedly helping Nata overcome life-or-death situations.

I really couldn't refuse his request.

Shao Yun keenly noticed the change in Mavica's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You look strange. Could it be... that even you can't do anything about it?"

Mavica sighed helplessly, a troubled look on her face.

"Well... I really want to help you guys, after all, Xiaolong is also part of Nata, and you've helped Nata so much before."

"However, everyone in Nata is busy preparing for the Holy Night of the Return of Fire Pilgrimage. From the allocation of supplies to the ceremony procedures, I need to oversee everything, so I really can't spare the time."

She shrugged, her tone full of helplessness.

"If only I could create clones of myself, I could help you treat Xiaolong's illness on one side, and continue preparing for the Return to the Holy Night Pilgrimage on the other."

Upon hearing Mavica mention "the Holy Night Pilgrimage of Returning to Fire," Shao Yun was initially taken aback, then pondered the key phrase and subconsciously repeated it:

"The Return to the Prosperous Era Pilgrimage? You mean, the sports meet I saw when I arrived?"

Mavica nodded and explained, "That's right, the cultural heritage of Nata will not end because of overcoming hardship, but will instead burn even more intensely."

"Therefore, the Holy Night of the Returning Fire Pilgrimage has been given a new meaning. We have chosen to make it the purest sports event, advocating fair competition and encouraging participants to pursue a stronger and better version of themselves."

"And this great event is about to begin. Therefore, Nata's current focus should be on the Games."

After hearing Mavica's explanation, Paimon's already low spirits became even more heartbroken.

With her shoulders slumped, she asked, "So, Mavica, you really can't help us?"

She still clung to her last glimmer of hope, hoping for a turnaround.

Looking at Paimon's pitiful appearance, Mavica felt a little sorry for him, but still nodded helplessly.

"That's about right, but I'm not a doctor."

"Right now, all the tribes are busy preparing for the pilgrimage, so I'm afraid no one will have the time to help find a way to treat the little dragon."

Just as everyone was sinking into despair, Ying suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

The Dragon Relics Research Association member named Manco once said that he had in-depth research on dragons, so perhaps they could have a solution!

She spoke up immediately, as if grasping at the last straw.

"What about the Dragon Relics Research Association? They shouldn't be involved in Nata's competitions, right? Maybe we can try our luck there, even if it's a long shot!"

Upon hearing "Dragon Relics Research Association," Mavica's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, saying:

"I almost forgot! Most members of the Dragon Relics Research Association do not participate in Nata's internal competitions, and they have been studying Nata's dragons for many years. They might actually be able to solve the little dragon's strange illness."

"If you need the Dragon Relics Research Association's help, I'll write a letter right now and ask them to fully cooperate with you, so you can have fewer troubles when you go there."

At this point, Mavica placed her right hand on her chest, her face full of apology.

"I'm sorry, I can only offer this level of support when you urgently need help. I'm truly ashamed."

She always felt it was a regret that she couldn't help in person.

Looking at Mavica, whose face was full of self-reproach, Shao Yun quickly comforted her, "It's okay, you've already helped us a lot."

"Being able to contact the Dragon Relics Research Association has already saved us a lot of trouble. We're not babies anymore; we can handle the rest ourselves."

He knew that Mavica was in trouble and didn't want her to feel too guilty.

Moreover, the relationship between the two is truly too delicate...

Ifa, standing to the side, patted his chest and added firmly, "Buddy, don't worry, I'll always help you guys!"

"Anyway, as a doctor, I neither participate in the Holy Night of Return to Fire Pilgrimage nor do I need to prepare anything, so I have plenty of time to follow you guys around."

"Your little dragon is so clever, he'll definitely get better, don't worry!"

With a new source of help, Ifa's tone became more optimistic.

Seeing that Shao Yun didn't blame her but instead comforted her, Mavica felt much better and quickly said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Shao Yun."

“I’ll go write the letter now. Please wait a moment. Ian Shane, you can also go and help out while you’re at it.”

Ianshan had no reason to refuse and readily agreed, "No problem, Lord Vulcan!"

……

In short, the recovery of Xiaolong "Potato Pancake" can only be hoped for by the Dragon Relics Research Association.

Mavica didn't dare to delay and quickly wrote the letter of introduction.

The letter briefly described Xiaolong's symptoms and specifically noted, "Please provide the association with full assistance to Mr. Shao Yun and his party." The letter was signed with the exclusive emblem of the council.

With this handwritten letter, the association will definitely take it seriously.

Not long after, Mavica folded the letter she had written and handed it to Ianshan, solemnly instructing her:

"Ian Shane, you personally take Mr. Shao Yun and the others to the association. Be careful on the way and make sure they make proper arrangements."

Ian Shan took the letter and nodded vigorously: "Rest assured, Lord Vulcan, I will definitely do my best!"

Then, Ianshan led Shao Yun, Ying, Paimon, Yifa, and the mother goat carrying the baby dragon toward the Chuwen market next to the Sacred Fire Arena.

Soon, the group arrived at their destination.

The headquarters of the Dragon Relics Research Association, like the Adventurers' Guild, is located in the market surrounding the Sacred Fire Arena, a very prominent location.

From the outside, it looks rather ordinary: the wooden signboard is engraved with the words "Dragon Relics Research Association" and has some wear on the edges. There are no fancy decorations at the entrance, and it looks particularly low-key compared to the bustling shops around it.

Ying stopped and curiously looked around the association's reception area, muttering to herself:

"So this is the Dragon Relics Research Association? I've passed by it several times before, and it looked unremarkable. I thought it was just an ordinary general store, so I never bothered to find out more about it..."

"I never expected it to be a place that studies dragons."

Upon hearing Ying's question, Ifa immediately explained, "To be precise, the Dragon Relics Research Association is much larger than you think."

"Although the headquarters is here, there are branches and members in various tribes of Nata. They usually collect information on dragon relics and artifacts from all over the world. The organizational structure is similar to the Adventurers' Guild, but the research focuses more on the history and ecology of dragons."

Ian Shan added, "That's right. This association mainly studies Nata's past dragon artifacts, scrolls, and ruins, and also researches the habits and diseases of dragons."

"So, this really is your little dragon's last hope."

Shao Yun looked up at the association's sign, took a deep breath, and said sincerely, "I hope there really is a way here, otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but he couldn't hide the unease in his voice... This was the last path they could find.

Seeing this, Paimon immediately straightened his little body and, as if to encourage himself, said to everyone:

"It will definitely get better! Our Potato Pancake is so lucky, it was so naughty when it was little and nothing happened to it, it will definitely pull through this time too! Once it gets better, I'm going to feed it lots and lots of delicious food!"

At this moment, Ian Shan took the lead and walked forward towards the receptionist behind the counter.

Ian Shan gently tapped on the counter and greeted her with a smile, "Siahe, are you busy? I have an urgent matter I'd like to ask your association for help with."

Hiah was interrupted by the sudden voice. After seeing who it was, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he quickly replied:

"It's Miss Ianshan and Mr. Ifa! What brings you two to our Dragon Relics Research Association?"

"Could it be that they recently discovered a secret realm related to dragons within Nata and want our assistance in researching it?"

As he spoke, he looked curiously at Shao Yun and his group behind Ian Shan, especially after noticing the weak baby dragon on the mother goat's back, which made him even more curious.

How did this little dragon end up on the sheep's back? That's so strange!
