Chapter 58 Griffon Cavalry
Lu Ping walked into Harmondale Castle, and immediately found that the atmosphere was not right. There were many guards standing by the roadside, and the gate of the main hall of the castle was also opened.

Two guards led Lu Ping into the hall, which was very spacious, with huge oil paintings hanging on the walls, gorgeous carpets on the floor, and an extra-long dining table for banquets, but there was no dish on it at the moment.

The butler frowned with his hands behind his back, and there were two magicians, two necromancers, and a spy standing on both sides, silent and solemn.

Lu Ping was secretly surprised, could it be against him?
"Boom..."

After closing the door heavily, the housekeeper said with a straight face: "The road is uneven, tell me everything about that spy, don't tell a single lie, and don't miss anything!"

Lu Ping was apprehensive, but he thought he had never done anything to harm Harmondale, so he told the story of the several times he met with Ivan, but he didn't say anything about Ivan's request to kill the arbitrator in the end. It is definitely not easy to receive the task, as long as you keep it, there is still a little hope.

After finishing speaking, a magician next to him said, "According to my detection magic, he didn't lie."

The housekeeper nodded: "The road is uneven, you are lucky, you didn't come in through the secret passage, otherwise you would not be able to stand here today! Also, hand over everything you picked up today."

"What?" Lu Ping almost jumped up. If he had known that the old guy would be confiscated, he would rather run away than come back. The silver spider silk is a unique treasure in the world!

The guards were staring at them. He had seen the abilities of these people with his own eyes. Even Ivan couldn't escape. How could he dare to contradict him?Today is really a trap!Helpless, he could only reluctantly take out all his things.

The dagger, silver spider gossamer and golden key were placed on the table, and the butler and several subordinates looked left and right, discussing and guessing Ivan's origin.

It is definitely not easy to own these equipment, but it is still impossible to determine Ivan's origin from these things.

After discussing for a while, the steward said: "He must be from the dark forces, but not from Diya, and the portal leads to Tula Leon, so the biggest possibility is him... But our master is only kind to him. Without hatred, he probably wouldn't have done this."

Lu Ping didn't know who the "he" the butler referred to, and the others didn't dare to speak.

The steward said: "We don't have enough evidence, so this matter can only wait for the ruling of the master, and you are absolutely not allowed to spread it."

"Yes!" All the guards agreed in unison.

The butler waved his hand to let everyone out, and the door opened.

Lu Ping's eyes stayed on the dagger and the ring, wondering if there was a chance to get them back.

The butler's tone softened a bit: "Do you know the history of Harmondale?"

Lu Ping said honestly, "I'm not sure."

"Harmondale was built in 689, and it was established by Erasia to fight against the Elven King, but it fell in the Elven offensive only three years later. Since then, the castle has changed its owner several times, and it has been the 14th ruler so far. , the vast majority of them are Erasia and Tula Leon in rotation, with only two exceptions..."

The butler paused for a while and continued: "It was in 817, the lord of Harmondale, Baron Danvers of Erasia, extorted tyrannically and fished the people, aroused the residents of Harmondale to revolt and killed him, the election Mayor Ty Wespin was king. Six weeks later, King David Geffenhardt IV of Erasia led troops to kill Wespin and regained Harmondale. Only two weeks later, Geffenhardt Te was killed by the elves again, and the city of Harmendale fell into the hands of the elves again..."

"Except for this six-week period of independence, Harmondale has always been the fat of the two countries. It was not until our lord appeared that Harmondale was truly independent, and the residents lived a peaceful life. So this Peace is not easy to come by, we must cherish it twice and cannot lose it, but there are many people who cannot tolerate the peace in Harmondale, do you understand?"

Lu Ping nodded, his eyes still on the three treasures.

The housekeeper sighed a long time: "Master hasn't come back for a long time. There are rumors outside that the master no longer wants Harmondale, and some people are even secretly discussing that the master has been killed and can't come back. These are all rumors. Their purpose Just messing up Harmondale!"

Lu Ping was a little shocked. It turned out that there were still factors of uneasiness. If something happened to the four lords, the peace agreement was lost, and the arbitrator was killed, Erasia and Tula Leon would point at Harmondale at any time. , the situation was much more serious than he knew.

Lu Ping boldly asked: "Then why hasn't the lord come back?"

"The master is very busy and can't come back now. I received a letter from them a few days ago, so they are absolutely safe!" The housekeeper waved his hand: "If these things are helpful to you, take them and go as soon as possible." Baides took back the accessories and repaired the mining machine. This matter is very important, and there should be no more trouble. The dwarves are our loyal allies. If anything happens, we will rely on their help, so you have to greet the Lord on behalf of the lord They, in order to get you there quickly, I will send the Gryphon Patrol to take you directly to the border."

Lu Ping was overjoyed, and immediately put away the three treasures, making them even more precious after they were lost.

"Mr. Steward, I want to bring a partner with me, is that okay?"

The butler said, "Go to the gate of the castle and ask Edward, the captain of the Griffon Patrol. If he is willing, I have no objection."

Lu Ping took the letter from the housekeeper and said goodbye. Sure enough, outside the door, he saw a sharpshooter named Edward, who was the patrol captain.

"Mr. Captain, I want to take a partner with me, can I?"

Edward said coldly: "We can't carry a lot of people, it will affect our flight time. Moreover, the Griffin is a kind of proud and stubborn creature. Except for the riders who have been familiar with it since childhood, no one is allowed to ride on its back. Even you can only let it fly with its mouth."

"What, take it in your mouth?" Lu Ping was dumbfounded. He thought he could ride a big bird soaring in the sky in a beautiful way, but he didn't expect to just be carried in his mouth. Isn't this too ugly?

"Respected captain, one more person should not affect the speed. The road to Baides is not smooth. It is very necessary for me to take my companions. If I can't arrive in time..."

Edward said impatiently: "Okay, don't say any more, go and call your companion, we don't have much time to chat with you."

Lu Ping ran out in a hurry, and An Li was already ready, waiting outside the city moat. When the two entered the castle again, a row of twelve huge griffins was already standing by the roadside.

They are about three meters high. Their eagle-like head to forelegs, including wings, are all covered with golden eagle feathers. There are some scarlet feathers on their chests, which are as bright as the sun shining on them. The lion-like hind body is yellow-brown. The animal hair is quite strong and weighs at least five or six hundred catties.

As Captain Edward said, all griffins look arrogant, and strangers can’t get close to them unless the rider is comforting them. Its strong and sharp front claws can directly tear a person in two. Half.Their eyes are even more frightening, as if a ball of fire is burning inside, and with that sharp and long beak, Lu Ping is really worried that they will eat themselves as snacks if they are hungry on the way.

Fortunately, the captain didn't make Lu Ping and An Li feel embarrassed, and prepared two big baskets, where Lu Ping and An Li could sit in the baskets and let them catch and fly.

Everything was ready, the twelve riders turned on the beast's back, the captain gave an order, and the griffins spread their eight-meter-long wings, fanning the dust like a hurricane, kicking their hind legs, and flying into the sky rise.

Lu Ping and An Li sat in the hanging basket and quickly lifted into the air, feeling a little dizzy. They held on to the basket tightly and dared not let go. Looking down, all the scenery was shrinking rapidly, and the nearby shadows could be seen in a panoramic view.

When he first fled to Harmondale, Lu Ping was caught by the Griffon patrol, but he was not online at that time, and the place he passed was not shown on the big map.Now flying from a high altitude, the viewing distance has been magnified dozens of times, and a large area of ​​black fog on the entire large map has been cleared, and it continues to move forward.

"Great, I'm flying, (singing) I'm going to fly higher, fly higher..."

An Li also screamed excitedly, and was immediately reprimanded by the rider: "If you scream again, I will throw you down!"

An Li immediately shut up and talked to Lu Ping alone: ​​"These people are too hateful, and they don't let people say what they say, aren't they just a griffin, what's the big deal!"

Lu Ping smiled and said: "They are patrol soldiers, maybe they are used to not talking, or they are afraid that the griffin will be disturbed? By the way, do you know how to tame pets?"

"I don't know, maybe some animal taming skills are needed? There are also advanced druid skills. I can summon forest creatures to fight in the future!"

"Oh... if only I could raise a griffin myself."

An Li said: "I heard that griffins are very difficult to tame, and they only follow one master for life, and they can't be snatched."

Lu Ping originally wanted to have a chance to ask the housekeeper for one in the future, but he was immediately discouraged after hearing this.

The lion flew to an altitude of more than 1000 meters, and then flew to the southeast at a very fast speed.Originally, it took three days and two nights to walk and a whole day to ride a fast horse, but it took less than four hours to get there.

The fort between Harmondale and Bairds is far less magnificent than Fort Leven, and there are not many guards, because the dwarves are friends of Harmondale, and the dwarves are happy to hang around the mines and foundries, never Having attacked Harmondale, we don't need too many defenders here.

When we landed in the fortress, it was already time for lunch in reality, and we were too hungry in reality, so we had to go offline, so Lu Ping and An Li made an appointment for an hour before going online.

After taking off his helmet, he rushed into the bathroom to discharge the waste, and after washing his face, Lu Ping went straight to room 606. He was already a few minutes late.

The time for lunch at noon is half an hour in real time, so it is quite rushed. At this time, Lu Ping remembered that the four school girls did not notify him to eat today. If the system hadn't reminded him that he was hungry, he would have missed the time.

When I arrived at room 606, I knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. It was Wen Huiwen who opened the door. The dining table inside was already full of food, and the other three beauties sat at the dining table without doing anything.Every time they would wait for Lu Ping to arrive before starting to eat, it was also a kind of respect and attention to Lu Ping.

None of the four girls spoke, Lu Ping felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and he let out a sigh: "What's the matter, have you all been hit by the silence spell?"

Zhao Ling said expressionlessly, "Let's serve dinner!"

Lu Ping took his seat immediately: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Wow, the dishes are so delicious, and the dishes are different. Who's turn to cook today? What kind of dish is this bowl, rock sugar and taro stew?"

The four girls didn't speak, each took their chopsticks and bowed their heads to eat. Lu Ping's outstretched chopsticks stopped in the air, and said with some embarrassment: "What's the matter, how did I offend you?"

Ai Xiaoyue curled her lips: "How could you offend us, we are the only ones who are annoying!"

Lu Ping immediately understood that he took Anli to Baides with him, but he didn't bring them. The four of them became jealous collectively, and this was a blow to him!
"Ha, haha, if you are annoying, are there any cute people in this world? Not to mention beautiful people, not to mention cultured and temperament, just this good food, the gods will drool , whoever marries you will be a blessing from ten lifetimes of cultivation!"

"Che, it sounds nice. In short, you can still go to the kitchen. If you can't even go to the kitchen, we won't be able to invite you, a great god." Zhao Ling said calmly.

Lu Ping knew that they would not turn their backs, this was acting, so he deliberately pretended to be depressed: "So you see me like this? I am so disappointed. It seems that I have no face to make a living here anymore." After finishing speaking, he put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.

The four girls were startled, and immediately jumped up and rushed over to stop him. Zhao Ling stopped right in front of him and almost collided with Lu Ping.The distance between the face and the face was only half a foot, and the exhalation was as blue as a breath, and the proud twin peaks almost touched his chest, and the deep groove was looming under the loose collar...

Lu Ping stared, there is no system protection here, if he moves forward a little bit, wouldn't it be mouth-to-mouth?

Zhao Ling hurriedly took a step back, her face flushed red: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you eat, what are you in a hurry for?"

Lu Ping pretended to be innocent: "Why is that? Could it be that I didn't give the severed tendons to Smile?"

Lin Mei hurriedly said: "Of course not, I will find a way for my skill book!"

Lu Ping continued to pretend to be stupid: "By the way, the two copies of the Frost Armor and the medicine formula were sold, and the money has not yet been divided. The first book was auctioned for more than 8 yuan, and the second book was also sold for nearly 8 yuan. The medicine formula was only sold. I paid more than 2000, because there is a magic skill that can also cure diseases. After deducting the handling fee, the total is more than 13, and each of you will share 4000, and the fraction will be returned to me. I have taken advantage of it."

The four daughters didn't look happy when they got money, Zhao Ling said: "Eat and eat, don't talk about it."

Lu Pingdao: "Also, our gold coins have already been sold. If we are lucky, the game currency will depreciate after the opening of the game currency exchange, and we will earn another..."

The four of them still had no passion, Hongyue took Lu Ping's arm and dragged him back: "Brother Lu, we don't ask for anything else, we only ask for fair treatment. Why do you take her to do the mission together and leave us behind? Are foreigners closer than junior sisters?"

Lu Ping smiled wryly: "Actually, there is no reward for her going with me this time, and she has not received the task..."

As soon as Lu Ping said it, he regretted it. What the four girls wanted was not a reward, but rather unhappy that he took An Li away alone. Doesn't this mean that his relationship with An Li is even more unusual?

Sure enough, the faces of the four girls were all a bit ugly.

Lin Mei said: "Hurry up and eat, Brother Lu is also doing it for our own good. We have raised our level and improved our strength so that we can keep up with Brother Lu's footsteps in the future. We can't just look at the immediate future, we have to look at the long-term develop."

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's it, let's eat quickly."

The five continued to eat, and Hongyue asked: "Lu Dake, is it possible for us to catch a griffin to ride?"

"I really don't know about this. I'm inquiring about it. If it's possible, I promise to get you all a mount!"

Only then did the four girls turn their anger into joy: "Thank you, Big Brother Lu!"
