Heart of the Castle

Chapter 17 Pig 100 points; Dragunson 0 points

"Gooah..."

A shrill cry pierced the quiet night sky, waking up many people in the Viscount's castle from their sleep.Li Wei suddenly turned over and jumped off the bed, grabbing the knight sword beside the bed.The feeling of the steel hilt is like ice, which affirms the young man's heart.

what happened?Sounds like a griffin?
Li Wei felt a little nervous in his heart. He put on the leather armor indiscriminately, and walked out of the bedroom with a sword in his hand. After a few steps, a group of furs of various colors slipped out from under his bed, like a string of phantoms. Followed in Levi's footsteps.

"Mengmeng, what's the matter?" Li Wei murmured, and the big bobcat shook his head, his green eyes shining with doubt in the dark night.

It seems that the problem is not in the vicinity.Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed the door open a crack. The creaking sound of the door hinge was actually not too loud, but it made him feel frightened.Mengmeng got out of the door like a ghost, and soon, a deep meow came from outside, it was the big bobcat declaring safety to its owner.

Li Wei walked out of the bedroom softly, and the cold moonlight immediately covered him.The big lynx stood at the window like a statue, looking back at Li Wei, as if he wanted to say something in his eyes.Li Wei walked over and stood side by side with it, and looked out of the window, where he could just see the roof of the main building of the castle. The griffins who had already slept in the huge bird's nest all woke up, flapping their wings restlessly.

If it weren't for the majesty of the Griffon King, perhaps the level of chaos would have been even more severe. The beast with golden hair and silver wings raised its head and looked sharply at the place where the sound came from.

"Mao Tuan, what happened just now?" Li Wei asked the Griffin King loudly, and the Griffin King's chest suddenly shrank, and the thought waves that came back felt somewhat helpless.

"Master Li Wei, the name Mao Tuan... You call it so loudly, it makes me feel very troubled in front of my subordinates..."

"Is that so? But I remember you didn't object at that time?" Li Wei scratched his hair embarrassedly and said.

"That's because the situation is urgent... Well, let's not talk about that, the voice just now was made by one of my subordinates, and now it is very emotional, and I have no way to calm it down with conscious contact." Griffin The king muttered something, but the sense of honor made it quickly get to the point.

"Is it in any danger?" Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Viscount's castle has been infiltrated by the enemy?
"No, there shouldn't be any danger, but we should go there immediately. It seems that the agitation of the griffin is related to a knight."

Li Wei's bedroom was quite far from the place where the sound came from, and the entire roof of the main building lay across in the middle, but after sitting on the wide back of the Griffin King, he was already standing there in less than a minute.A few knights who heard the news stood in front of the door and patrolled. Since they arrived in a hurry, except for the two crusader swordsmen who were fully armed, most of them only wore close-fitting clothing, but each of them They all carry swords and are ready to go into battle at any time.

"Master Li Wei, look, the sound is coming from here." The Grand Knight Commander Wilpus frowned and said, pointing to a room allocated to the knights.

The door of the room had been scratched deeply, and the inside was in a mess.Li Wei held the knight sword and approached the door, and looked inside cautiously. Sure enough, he found an angry brown-yellow beast inside. It could be seen that the griffin was about to go mad. The feathers on its neck resembled All of them exploded like fighting cocks, and the sky blue in the two eyes was also covered by blood.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whoa!" The Griffin King uttered two short cries, and the furious Griffin in the room suddenly turned its head, its blood-red eyes were blazing fiercely, as if it did not recognize the person in front of it. Who exactly.

"Gah!" This time, the Griffon King's cry was even more severe, revealing a kind of majesty that no one dared to violate. The Griffin's body trembled, its eyes rolled twice, and the blood color gradually faded away. .

"Quack...quack?" The Griffon King called out twice in a questioning manner.

"Cuckoo, croak..." The griffin lowered its head and croaked softly, as if apologizing or complaining.

"What did it say?" Levi asked confused.

The Griffon King tilted his head, and before he could answer, a thunderous growl erupted from the room.

"Is Master Li Wei here? Help me get rid of this crazy griffin, this beast has messed up my bedroom!" A burly man wearing a tattered leather vest rushed out of the room , holding an amazing two-handed giant sword in his hand, but the sword was not pulled out of the scabbard, but held in his hand with the scabbard attached.

Li Wei startled this guy, and almost pointed the tip of his sword at him. Fortunately, although this guy was unkempt, Li Wei could still recognize the big ugly face of Draconson.

"Master Dragunson? Why are you in such a mess?" Li Wei asked in surprise.

"How do I know? I was sleeping soundly, and this beast kicked at the door..."

"Gah!" The Griffin King suddenly spread his wings and patted Dragunson, interrupting all the words he was saying.

"Lord Li Wei, Jiu Ba said just now that it came to get the reward promised by this human being." The shrill voice of the King of Griffins rang out from Li Wei's mind.

"Remuneration? What is it?" Li Wei asked with a headache.

"Pig!" The brown-yellow griffin yelled, looking fiercely at Dragunson.

"Pig? Ah, that's right! Lord Dragunson, when you flew away from the devil's lair, did you promise to give the griffin that carried you away a pig?" Miss Fletcher reminded Say.

"If it wants a pig, there will be a pig!" Dragongsun puffed up his chest and said confidently: "I, Dragongsun, have never defaulted on my debts. I have already paid the reward for that pig!"

"Pig!" The brown-yellow griffin screamed angrily, and then stretched out a claw. A small thing not much bigger than a mouse was hanging on the tip of the claw and dangling.Li Wei and others took a closer look, and their expressions became a little weird.

It is true that it is a pig.At least the small animal porpoise is always served as a substitute for roast suckling pig.But the little thing, which didn't seem to weigh more than half a pound, looked very pitiful hanging from the wide and powerful claws of the griffin.

"Pig?" Griffin's blue eyes sparkled with water, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all moving back in unison.

"That...Master Dragongson, this matter is still about you and this... oh, Jiuba, let's communicate slowly, it's late, everyone go back to sleep." Li Wei gritted his teeth and said slowly , and then the Griffin King suddenly flapped his strong and powerful wings, knocked Dragunson somersault, and threw him back into the room.

"Cuckoo!" The brown-yellow griffin yelled and rushed in, and Li Wei closed the door behind him kindly, so that Dragunson and Jiuba could communicate without being disturbed by outsiders.

"Hey, listen to me, calm down first..."

"Ah, beast, my sword!"

"Hey, I admit defeat, don't bite..."

"It won't work there, ah... two pigs, ah, three, three pigs!"

The screams of men and the high-pitched cries of griffins resounded through the night sky for the first time since the Viscount Castle was built.
