Lord of Rot

Chapter 32 Magic Tides
An eagle the size of a lion, a flying lion, whatever you want to call it, is the worst possible scenario for a porcupine collar.

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

"Of course, it's impossible." The Tawin scholar shook his head: "A simple eagle or lion may be tamed, but the combination of the two makes the griffin full of wildness. It is said that the griffin represents indomitable and arrogant. As for killing the griffin , I guess you have to ride a dragon, or it will fly up to the clouds and come down from the sky and bite you when you're not looking."

Can't be tamed?It seems that it is different from the literary records on Earth. How did the Griffon Rider come about? Or is there a way to subdue the Griffin, but people in this world don't know it?
The Tavern scholar handed Li Qi a book about griffins.

After thanking him, Li Qi opened the book.

It records detailed information about the Griffon, and of course it all says that this beast cannot be tamed.

Griffons, like dragons, are the embodiment of wealth.

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

But there is another part of the record that is very interesting. A scholar discovered a strange creature in the southern continent. The first half of them looks like a griffin, with the head and claws of an eagle, but the second half is like a horse, with a mane and tail and hooves. .

This kind of creature is called Junying. After a long period of follow-up research and investigation, scholars found that it is the offspring of a hybrid between a griffin and a mare.

It is very unlikely that a griffin can hybridize with its prey, but there are always accidents and accidents. The existence of the eagle is very precious. According to records, the eagle is easier to be tamed, very human, and the speed of running on the ground is faster than On any horse, flying in the sky can travel thousands of miles a day.

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

The book does not record the method of driving away the griffin. In short, it is best not to provoke the other party and hide far away.

"A griffin who might treat my territory as a buffet, how can I pretend to turn a blind eye?"

The Tawin scholar finished his work, turned to Li Qi and said, "Your thirst for knowledge is admirable."

Being so serious about a creature that couldn't exist at all, this is a scholar's "inquisitive" character, and he has become more and more fond of the baron.

"The more you know, the more you feel small." Li Qi said, "It's like a griffin. When faced with such a powerful creature, a human being who can only hold a pitchfork will appear so small... By the way, Tawin scholars, Have you ever seen a dragon?"

"That's an almost extinct creature." Tawin scholar shook his head: "As the tide of magic recedes, many fantasy creatures in the world are gradually disappearing, such as griffins and dragons, but when it comes to griffins, I remember a book that says I have been there before, and the griffin hates the smell of burning pasture, which may give it the illusion that the grassland is on fire, or it may be that the pasture is ignited, the horses will be driven away, and the griffin will lose its prey.”

"The ebb of the magic tide has led to the disappearance of fantastic creatures such as griffins and dragons?" Li Qi raised his spirits instantly. The knight with extraordinary power, the griffin that disappeared but reappeared, although he is now not sure what happened in the dense forest of Pig's Ridge Valley. The flying beast is a griffin, but it can fly in the sky and is holding a wild boar. It is either a griffin or a dragon. It must be a huge carnivorous monster.

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

"Of course it's possible." Tawin scholar nodded: "Actually, some time ago, when my apprentice went to Porcupine Collar, I observed a red moon. It may indicate the emergence of a magic tide, but when the magic tide really sweeps I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years, or even longer."

Hundreds of years?
Think of that awesome knight who shines with gold.

It has come.

When leaving the scholar's tower, Li Qi bought a few more books.

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

"Wild Horse Luanshi" Xiduo introduced: "He is the knight my father arranged to protect me. As an illegitimate son, he helps the family solve some small troubles. There must be a bodyguard by his side, right?"

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

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

The extraordinary knight who defeated the iron hoof knight with one move, used it as a bodyguard for the illegitimate son, and the duke who he swore to protect is really rich.

"Actually, before this, the Mustang was just physically stronger." Xiduo 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 Take the opportunity to seize that power."

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

It seems that I don't mind sharing a little secret, but I only share this point, and the rest of the more important part is called: the secret that is not passed on.

There must be a special reason for the illegitimate child to come to Iron Stone City, and it is definitely not for the "glamorous". Any lord would not want to marry his spoiled daughter to an illegitimate child.

But Li Qi didn't have the idea of ​​digging out the other party's secrets.

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

Inside Ironstone Castle, a secret room.

With a shiver, the man got up comfortably.

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

"A strange medicine" The man put his arms around the girl and kissed her lightly on the face: "A medicine that can make men stronger caused quite a stir last night. I snatched one this morning. It is said that this thing There are many more, it will definitely become the hottest thing in Iron Rock City, making all men crazy about it."

The young girl was Baron Simon's daughter, Becky the Heartthrob, she frowned in thought.

"What's the matter, my princess?"

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

"I knew you were interested." The man said, "I've already investigated. Those who delivered the pills didn't hide themselves at all. They came out of Iron Stone Castle and returned to Iron Stone Castle after delivering the medicine. They belonged to that Baron Porcupine." people."

Becky pushed the woman away from 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 offer yesterday, and I'm the one who is willing to give everything for you!"

"That's why you have the opportunity to wake up on my bed instead of in some dirty kiln." Becky opened her hands, and the woman on the bed didn't have time to dress herself, so she got up and changed the skirt for Becky.

"You can elope with me, just like we chatted before." The man said anxiously: "I know your father wants you to marry a man with a fief. He has money, but he doesn't care about you at all. You and the 60-year-old old man, come with me, we leave the East Gorge, go to Endor to ride wild horses, or explore the end of the world on the sea, we..."

"Are you here, are you kidding? Kelan!" Becky asked back, with mockery in her eyes, as if she was talking sweet words on the bed, you fool actually took it seriously.

Becky opened the door and left, leaving only the man with his fists clenched.

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

The man immediately loosened his fist and said with a smile, "I'll be right there!"

"I knew that Becky still loved me."
