Chapter 605: Special Treasures II
In Rod's mind, the griffin is a very special creature, with the strong body of a lion, the claws and wings of an eagle, and the extremely large size, any creature facing it will feel a strong sense of oppression.
A large number of griffons, living on the plains where Erathia is located, and making an agreement with this powerful human kingdom.
In order to entrap the griffins, the lords of Erathia built tall griffon towers and paid them enough to join the wars waged by the lieges.
Gradually, the existence of griffins has also become a standard for judging the strength of the lord of Erathia. Lords with a large number of griffons often have a strong voice.
Due to the unique form of the griffin, many mages believe that the creation of the griffin is the product of some kind of transformation ritual, just like the alien creatures that still exist in the underworld at this time.
Bracada's heyday was also the time when sorcerers were rampant, and during this period, a large number of xenomorph creatures were created due to the abuse of transformation rituals, which seriously disrupted the balance between the original creatures.
After the mage's remedy, all the sorcerers were banished to the underworld and continued their research. It's just that the influence of the sorcerer on the surface world cannot be eliminated.
When the sorcerer was banished, a large number of xenomorph creatures remained in the surface world. For these ordinary xenomorph creatures, the decision made by the mage at that time was to let them survive in the surface world, without intervening too much, let alone savagely killing them all.
Due to the characteristics of the griffon, many mages who know the history of Bracada today regard it as a legacy of xenomorphs.
However, the scholars of Bracada, after a long period of research, came to the opposite conclusion. They believe that griffons existed in this world long before the golden age of Bracada, before even the ritual of sorcery appeared.
In addition to this, the scholars of Bracada have proved this conclusion by evidence that exists in other quarters.
Through the study of griffins, the scholars of Bracada learned that there was a more special kind of griffin than the ordinary griffin, that is, the holy griffin in the common people's mouth.
Legend has it that the Holy Griffin, along with the angels, resided in the Clouds above Erathia and served as a messenger to convey the will of the angels to the rulers of Erathia.
It is said that the alliance between the griffons and the ordinary lords in Erathia was also facilitated by the Holy Griffin, otherwise according to the strength of the ordinary noble lords, let alone taming these griffins, just appearing in front of the griffins will feel a burst of fear, and naturally they will not be recognized by these griffins.
All the lords of Erathia who know this will respect the presence of the Holy Griffin, which symbolizes the more powerful existence behind them.
In the same way, it was the presence of the Holy Griffin that allowed the mages of Bracada to determine that the griffin was not the product of witchcraft rituals, but a creature that had existed in the world in the first place.
The scholars of Bracada did not know what the strongest angels would think of the existence of the ritual of witchcraft, but they thought of the saying in Erathia that the angels symbolized holiness, and the scholars of Bracada believed that they would not have a good attitude towards the ritual of witchcraft.
Among these creatures born from the witchcraft ritual, many creatures, even the mages with strong mental endurance will feel sick to their stomachs when they see them. This is a creature that even the sorcerer himself feels disgusted when he sees it, let alone the attitude of other creatures.
Because of this, the scholars of Bracada believe that the Holy Griffin can live with the angels in Cloudsdale City, and the purity of its bloodline is naturally guaranteed, which is not something that ordinary fusion creatures can do.
As griffons become stronger, their appearance changes dramatically. The lower levels of the common griffin tend to have brown hair, and the shade of brown varies depending on the species.
When the griffon's rank changes, their coat color changes accordingly. When a griffon reaches the fourth rank of the official rank, silver-white feathers will appear on their body until the entire upper body is covered.
The color of the griffon's hair can distinguish their strength to a large extent, which is also the consensus of the lords of Erathia on the griffin.
According to the information provided by the lords who have seen the holy griffin with their own eyes, the hair on the surface of the holy griffin's body is truly pure white, like the wings behind the angel, and all creatures who see the holy griffin will feel a sense of holiness from its body, and this is also the origin of the name of the holy griffin.
And the pendant that Rhodes obtained has a lot to do with the holy griffin, so naturally Rhodes is very concerned about it and wants to know more about it.
In the game of the previous life, even after the complete three expansion packs, all Rhodes knew about the existence of the Holy Griffin and the news about them was the statements of the scholars in Bracada, and other than that, Rhodes did not know anything else about the Holy Griffin.
Even though in the third expansion, a large number of angels appear on the battlefield, Rhodes has not seen the Holy Griffin with his own eyes.
Because of this, when Rhodes noticed that the treasure he had obtained from Northam would have some connection with these most mysterious holy griffins, Rhodes took it to heart.
With this layer of association, Rhodes knew that the effect of this treasure was obviously not as simple as he originally thought, but had a special meaning.
As for how Nuo Sen obtained this treasure, even if Rod rummaged through the other items in the Nuo Sen Space Ring, he couldn't get a specific information, and Nuo Sen himself died under the effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment, and the origin of this treasure obviously needs to be explored by Rod himself.
In the process of returning to Vierning, due to the tight time and the dangers that may be encountered, Rhodes has no way to test the specific effect of this treasure, so he can only wait until he returns to Vilning to think of other ways.
At this time, facing the water elemental who was casting a spell, Rhodes undoubtedly had such an opportunity to test the effect of this treasure.
