Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 89 Two Griffons Run Fast!
Yuna and Yuya failed to satisfy Fang Qiuling's curiosity, as they themselves were a little confused.
There is a great difference between Elune's overall preference for "spirit" and Terdaheim's preference for "reason".
For example, in Teldaheim, the usual choice for getting a cup of hot water is to heat it directly. In Elune, the quickest way to get a cup of hot water is actually to use spells.
The twins are currently in a similar state of confusion, whether to use the "reason" method to deal with it from the physical level first, or to directly expand the spiritual realm and use the "spirit" to directly construct it.
In the beginning, it was Malu who "caused trouble". Maru "picks up" a small moving snowball in the snow, and then happily plays with the little snowball for an afternoon.
As Malu's temporary guardian, the twins didn't care at first. Maru's curiosity is extremely strong, and her mobility is quite amazing, and she will always pull out some strange things without stopping for a moment. The little snowballs that move are nothing more than rabbits, squirrels, and the like.
However, when the twins were done with their business and were about to take a break, they suddenly noticed that the little snowball they were playing with was not a rabbit or a squirrel, but a creature they had never seen before. In a cautious manner, the twins find Lily with a little snowball, and Lily immediately recognizes it. This is a griffon, a juvenile griffin that should not have been out of its shell for a long time.
Whose child is the little griffin? You don't have to guess to know that it must be the nest of griffons on the top of the mountain. As for how Malu "picked up" the little griffin...... This is a minor issue and doesn't need to be figured out at all. The priority is to get the little griffon back!
The father griffon and the mother griffon who lost their child must have been very anxious. If they knew that their children were here, they would probably tear down the whole village! So when two huge griffons fell from the sky with their other children, the whole village fell into despair.
The average height of the cat charm is 1.3 meters or 1.4 meters, and standing in front of the griffin is less than one-third of the griffin's, so there is no deterrent power at all. And the number of adult cat charms in the village is very small, most of them are underage kitten charms. Kitten charms are generally not more than one meter two, and those below one meter are even smaller, almost like a small snack in the eyes of the griffin.
The sudden appearance of a griffin is tantamount to a tiger intruding into a flock, and it can be said that it is a life and death in the village. Lily's heart sank, and she knew what was coming was going to be a terrible battle. Regardless of whether the outcome of the battle is victory or defeat, the village will cease to exist!
Of course, in the end, there must have been no fight. Because Yuna and Yuya stepped forward and easily convinced the angry father griffon and mother griffon, and then, at Eliza's suggestion, named father griffon "Moonmoon" and mother griffon "Half and Half". The Griffons then joined the village and became the guardians of the village.
As for the most important thing, how did Yuna and Yuya convince the two griffins...... I'm sorry, but the people involved are now a little confused, even though they have all flown in griffins several times and still don't know.
Lily speculated that it might be some kind of unknown magic contract, but neither the magic probe nor the twins' self-examination found any trace of the magic contract. After tossing around, it can only be attributed to metaphysics.
The twins rode griffons to Lakesprings to find their stupid masters. In fact, they also had some reason to take the griffin away from the village, so as not to suddenly "explode" the unstable factor of the griffin.
Fang Qiuling didn't get any useful information from his own sword-wielding envoy, only that the griffin listened to them very well, like a magical pet attached to its master. It's just that other people's pets are small cats and dogs, and their pets are "big monsters" that are taller than them.
What can two obedient griffons do like magical pets? Fang Qiuling couldn't think of it for the time being, but he could foresee that their addition would inevitably strengthen his air strength. However, when he saw the two griffins, Fang Qiuling realized that his imagination seemed to be insufficient.
The understanding of griffins in the Agarwal Valley is only the most preliminary intuitive cognition of "not to provoke" and not to hunt in the Rabbit Valley. Lily has been in contact with griffins, and she has a very intuitive understanding of griffons' combat effectiveness, but that's all, she doesn't know more about griffons' habits and habits than cat charms. As for Yuna and Yuya, they had only seen griffins in books, but they had never seen the real thing, so they thought that Elune's adult griffins were like this.
But Fang Qiuling is different. After a cursory look, he realized that the two griffons in front of him were not ordinary griffins. Their eyes were as bright as gems, their sharp beaks and claws had a metallic texture, and their bodies were noticeably much larger than normal - they must have been griffons in their prime!
Griffins reach adulthood at the age of two, and the average lifespan is around 150 years. In the prime of life, griffons usually go through 50 to 70 years of cold and heat, and can have the intelligence of a child about seven years old. Because of the amount of food intake, the amount of daily activities, and the individual's experience, the griffons in their prime are very polarized.
Adult griffons that are fed enough and exercise properly and have not been seriously injured will become stronger and larger. Those who have been badly injured, disabled, or hungry on a daily basis will appear weak and skinny. And those strong griffons are named the royal griffons - the nobles and kings of the griffins.
The two griffons in front of you...... Just look at the way they tear horses apart with ease, and then devour them in a big gulp, and you know that they are strong enough to be called "royal".
"Daddy, where did you get the horse?"
"Oh, Carter brought it."
Carter is the nickname of the Rivers Knight. Rivers Knight's full name is Kartra von Rivers, and those who are familiar with him call him Carter.
"That's it...... Feeding the griffins like this? ”
"Huh?"
"I mean, horses, just feed the griffons? Aren't you heartbroken? One feed is two horses, the old and the old ......"
Old Tom didn't speak, but there seemed to be a faint twitch on his face, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the Rivers Knight.
Horses are worth as much in Elune as a modern car. Ordinary horses are almost all kinds of cars that run on the road every day, and a good horse with pure blood can be directly equated with a luxury sports car that costs tens of millions. Although it is certain that the horse that the two griffons devour at the moment will definitely not be a good horse, the problem is that it is not a good horse and it is not cheap, at least at this stage, Fang Qiuling has no money to get a horse to satisfy the griffin's appetite.
The Rivers Knight looked at the griffin with a gaze full of obsession, completely ignoring the conversation between the two men around him, until Old Tom slapped him and came to his senses:
“…… What horse? Oh, it's a colt that can't pull a cart, and the Chamber of Commerce sent it. ”
"Why did the Chamber of Commerce send this thing?"
"Improve the food."
"Uh......"
Knight Rivers then explained, "I heard that griffons like to eat horses, so I brought them. They...... They seem to like it. ”
"Well, that's right. Griffins have a special penchant for horses, just like Daddy's good wine. ”
"Get out!"
The two ponies were a great meal for the griffons, and they were very satisfied. They didn't get angry when they saw humans pointing at them, but bent their necks affectionately and rubbed a few times against one of them to show their closeness.
The sharp beak fell in front of his eyes, and then he rubbed heavily on his chest a few times. Although it is a sign of closeness, the person who is close to it does not think so!
No matter how smart the griffin is, it is still a monster, and the appearance of eating is definitely not good. Manes, blood, and chewed bones were scattered all over the floor. Of course, it's nothing, just clean up when it's over. But their sharp beaks were also stained with minced flesh and blood, and then they came over and rubbed it......
Old Tom was startled at first, thinking that the griffon was going to catch him and beat him for a tooth sacrifice. He was about to resist when he realized that the griffon was friendly to him, and he was slightly relieved. However, the coarse cloth shirt on his body was completely ruined, not only stained with a large pool of blood, but also full of fine minced meat. This made old Tom cry and laugh suddenly.
At first glance, Tom Sr.'s appearance at the moment is very similar to characters such as "Chainsaw Maniac" and "Butcher of Hell", and a glance in the middle of the night is enough to scare a child into tears. For example, the children who probed their brains in the small wood house were frightened and screamed and disappeared.
Looking at the two demonic beasts as tall as a small building, Fang Qiuling couldn't help but start to revise the plan in his heart.
The griffin knights in the Lake of Mist region are all subordinate to the Seventh Knights, and there are a total of twenty horsemen. Except for the elder brother in the "Four King Kongs", the other griffin knights have all gathered in the Foggy Castle at this moment, ready to compete with the army of the undead. It is foreseeable that they will be overwhelmed by gargoyles and undead scavengers......
Franz was already a retainer of Ronald's family, so he followed Ronald with two griffons without knights. At present, the air power that Fang Qiu Ling can call on is only Franz.
It was originally planned that Franz would serve as a scout and liaison. He patrols the road from Lakesprings to Fracture Fortress to ensure that the road is clear. At the same time, once there is any unexpected incident on the way to the "great evacuation", Franz will also be the first to rise to the top as a rapid reaction force.
The griffon's combat power is certainly strong, but what is even more powerful is that the griffin can fly freely in the air and has unparalleled mobility.
Led by Franz, plus the two big guys in front of him, plus the Pegasus in his hand, the number of air combat units reached four. It seems that it is possible to consider upgrading the Scout to the vanguard to cause some trouble for the army of the undead......
