Lord of Rot

An eagle as big as a lion, a flying lion, whatever you want to call it, is the worst possible scenario for a porcupine collar.

"If there really is a gryphon, is there a way to tame it or kill it?" Li Qi asked.

"Of course, it's impossible." Tawen scholar shook his head: "A simple eagle or lion may be tamed, but the combination of the two makes the griffin full of wildness. Legend has it that the griffin represents unyielding and arrogance. As for killing the griffin , I guess you have to ride a dragon, otherwise it will fly up to the clouds, and then fly down from the sky and bite you when you're not paying attention."

Can't be tamed? It seems different from the literary records on earth. How did the griffon knights come about? Or is there a way to subdue griffins, but people in this world don't know about it?

The Tawen scholar handed a book about griffons to Li Qi.

After thanking him, Li Qi opened the book.

It contains detailed information about the griffon, and of course it says that this beast cannot be tamed.

Griffins are similar to dragons, both are the embodiment of wealth.

Griffons feed on horses, and occasionally cows and pigs, and they are not picky eaters if they catch people.

But there are also some interesting records. A scholar discovered a strange creature in the southern continent. The front half of them looks like a griffin, with the head and talons of an eagle, but the back half looks like a horse, with a mane, tail and hooves. .

This creature is called the Hippogriff. After a long period of follow-up research and investigation, scholars discovered that it is the offspring of a cross between a griffon and a mare.

The possibility of hybridizing a griffon with its own prey is slim, but there are always accidents and accidents. The existence of the hippogriff is very precious. According to records, the hippogriff is easier to tame, is very humane, and can run on the ground as fast as Any horse can fly in the sky and travel thousands of miles in a day.

"Hypogriff?" Li Qi had a clearer comparison in his mind.

The book does not record the method of driving away griffins. In short, it is best not to provoke them and stay away.

"How can I pretend to turn a blind eye to a gryphon that might treat my territory like a buffet?"

Scholar Tawen finished busy with what he was doing, turned around and said to Li Qi: "Your thirst for knowledge is admirable."

To be so serious about a creature that could not exist at all is the "inquisitive" character of a scholar, and he became more and more fond of the baron.

"The more you know, the smaller you feel," Li Qi said: "Just like a griffon, when faced with such a powerful creature, a human who can only hold a pitchfork will appear so small... By the way, Tawen scholars, Have you ever seen a dragon?"

"That is an almost extinct creature." Tawen scholar shook his head: "As the tide of magic recedes, many fantasy creatures in the world have gradually disappeared, such as griffins and dragons. But when it comes to griffins, I remember that it was written in a book I've been there, and the griffin hates the smell of burning grass, which may give it the illusion that the grassland is on fire, or it may be that the grass is set alight, and the horses will be driven away, and the griffin will lose its prey."

"The subsidence of the magic tide caused the disappearance of griffins and dragons and other fantasy creatures?" Li Qi suddenly raised his spirits. The knight with extraordinary power and the griffin disappeared but reappeared. Although he was not sure what was happening in the dense forest of Pig Ridge Valley. The flying beast is a griffin, but it can fly in the sky and catch a wild boar. It is either a griffin or a giant dragon. It must be a giant carnivorous beast.

"Will the magic tide return?" Li Qi asked.

"Of course it is possible." Scholar Tawen nodded: "Actually, some time ago, when my apprentice went to the Porcupine Territory, I observed a red moon. That may indicate the emergence of the magic tide, but when the magic tide really sweeps in, I’m afraid it will take hundreds of years, or even longer.”

Hundreds of years?

Think of that extraordinary knight shining with golden light.

It's already here.

When leaving the Scholar Tower, Li Qi bought a few more books.

When he returned to Ironstone Castle, he happened to meet Sydodor Seawater. The illegitimate son of the Leopold family was very friendly, but Reacher's attention was always on the knight behind him.

"Wild Horse and Stone" Sidhuo introduced: "He is the knight arranged by my father to protect me. As an illegitimate son, he helps the family solve some minor problems. There must be a bodyguard around him, right?"

Judging from the surname, the other person came from Giant Foot and was also an illegitimate child.

"Master Leopold is really kind to you," Li Qi said.

The extraordinary knight who defeated the Iron Bull Knight with one move was used as a bodyguard for his illegitimate son. The Duke he was sworn to protect was really rich.

"Actually, before this, Mustang was just physically stronger." Sidhuo didn't mind sharing that little secret with Li Qi, he said: "But one day, he said that he felt a force wandering in his body, and then he I took the opportunity to seize that power.”

Li Qi looked at the extraordinary knight, who nodded gently.

It seems that I don’t mind sharing a little secret, but I only share this, leaving the more important part called: the secret that is not shared.

There must be a special reason for the illegitimate son to come to Iron Stone City, and it is definitely not for the 'heartthrob'. No lord is willing to marry his doting daughter to an illegitimate son.

But Li Qi had no idea of ​​digging out the other party's secrets.

After the two chatted for a while, Sidor invited him to go to the Arena tomorrow, which was a favorite place for nobles and businessmen.

Inside the Iron Stone Castle, there is a secret room.

After a while of trembling, the man got up comfortably.

The girl lying on the velvet bed was stretching, and there was a kitten-like woman lying in her arms. The girl said: "What did you eat just now?"

"A strange medicine." The man hugged the girl and kissed her face softly: "A medicine that can make men stronger. It caused quite a stir last night. I grabbed one this morning. It is said that this medicine There are many more, it will definitely become the hottest thing in Ironstone City and make all men go crazy for it.”

The girl was none other than Baron Simon's daughter, the 'heartthrob' Becky. She frowned in thought.

"What's wrong, my princess?"

"Go and find out who owns this thing," said Becky.

"I should have known you were interested," the man said, "I have already investigated. Those who delivered the pills did not hide themselves at all. They came out of the Iron Stone Castle and returned to the Iron Stone Castle after delivering the pills. They belonged to the Porcupine Baron. people."

Bei Ji pushed away the woman in her arms and stood up.

The man was a little unhappy: "You don't want to go to that country baron, do you? He rejected your kindness yesterday. I am the one who is willing to give everything for you!"

"That's why you have the opportunity to wake up in my bed instead of in some dirty cellar." Bei Ji opened her hand. The woman on the bed didn't have time to dress herself, so she got up and changed Bei Ji's dress.

"You can elope with me, just like we talked about before," the man said anxiously: "I know your father wants you to marry a lord with a fiefdom. He is rich, but he doesn't care about you at all. He even plans to let you marry him." Come with me, you and a bad old man in his fifties or sixties, we will leave the East Gorge and go to Endor to ride wild horses or explore the end of the world on the sea. We..."

"Are you kidding me? Coran!" Becky asked back, with mockery in her eyes, as if she was talking about sweet talk on the bed, but you idiot actually took it seriously.

Becky pushed the door open and left, leaving only the man holding his fists.

But after a while, the woman who had followed Becky opened the door and came in, saying, "Lord Fusak, Miss has something to ask you to do."

The man immediately loosened his fists and said with a smile: "I'll be there right away!"

"I knew that Bei Ji still loved me."
