Indescribable tarot cards - #309 - Chapter 309 Prelude
The behavior of griffins is somewhat similar to that of eagles. They often live on the top of towering rock cliffs and decorate their nests with branches, leaves and even the bones of their prey.
They have a body as strong as a lion, but also have the head, forelimbs and wings of an eagle, and have some inexplicable hobby for horses.
Even for trained griffins, it is difficult for their owners to control their urge to try to kill all the horses in sight – unless they are full.
If you want to tame a griffon, you must start from griffin eggs and train the young griffins before they are contaminated by the wild nature of the adult griffins.
This training method is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive.
After all, as a carnivorous extraordinary creature, the griffin needs an astonishing amount of food before reaching adulthood, like a bottomless pit.
Only experienced trainers who have raised griffins for many years can teach the griffins how to cooperate with their riders.
In fact, griffins used to deliver intelligence and griffins used in combat are still two different things.
The former is relatively young and is not old enough to fight, or simply retired from the Kingdom’s Griffin Regiment because he is too old.
Compared with the former, the latter still need to undergo quite complicated training – at least they must learn to control their appetite on the battlefield, or at least they must not attack their own horses.
Although griffons have a long lifespan, the kingdom has been sparing no effort to promote how to raise griffins, but the number of griffins can only grow slowly.
Well, I can’t say that the total number has not increased, I can only say that it has increased a little.
There are only two resident griffins in Leiden City. Counting the griffins that have traveled long distances, there are barely three.
Under the guidance of a certain handsome and powerful will, the number of griffins in Leiden City quietly and reasonably increased.
Not counting the long-distance gryphon, there were seven in total.
“If you lie to me, you will know the wrath of the Northlanders.”
Before stepping onto the gryphon, Garcia whispered to Aaron.
Last night, Ruosiqia explained some information about God’s Favorite to Garcia through Aaron’s mouth, and finally calmed him down.
Aaron assured him that Tu Antiwan would have a way to help him solve the matter of the mark.
When Tu Antiwan came to visit today, Ruosiqia and Tu Antiwan also had some exchanges.
In the end, if Chia’s promise was not in vain, Tu Antivan did personally promise Garcia that he would help him temporarily solve the mark problem.
Of course, only temporarily.
Of course, the result is…
Andem looked at Aaron’s eyes with an invisible coldness.
What’s interesting is that almost immediately after Tu Antivan came to the door, a message from Julian came from Sartre’s crystal ball: “Follow Tu Antivan.”
Now, no matter how dissatisfied Siosande was, he could only force himself to accept this fact.
Sometimes, he really can’t understand what the teacher is thinking…
Maybe the teacher has other plans?
He could only comfort himself in this way.
But, as gold coin system extraordinary beings, representing the Tower of Stars, could they really be so directly involved in this incident?
Siosande did not dare to look directly at Tuantivan, fearing that the old man would notice, so he could only glance at Andem.
…
Wild Grass Town, Wild Grass Tavern.
“What did you say?”
Reynold’s face was slightly unhappy, and he lightly hammered the solid wood wine table with his right fist to show his dissatisfaction: “You mean, you can’t give me what I want for the time being?”
He had just returned from Leiden City and heard Gade say this. Even though he had been friends with Gade for many years, he was still not happy.
“The things you want are underground. The Underdark has been quite chaotic recently, and I haven’t received any response from any hidden connections I could make.”
Gad explained while pouring a full glass of “Bloody Mary” for Reynold.
The Underdark?
Reynold frowned, suddenly remembering the group of drow elves he met in the forest before, and asked tentatively: “Have you cooperated with the drow elves?”
Generally speaking, this kind of reckless inquiry is like an open provocation.
No intelligence organization or intermediary is willing to disclose the partners they cooperate with.
When Gade heard this, he frowned and looked at Reynold, poured himself a glass of ice water casually, and lightly activated the soundproofing circle.
It was only then that he responded: “That’s right, but you can probably guess that in the underground world, the strength of the Dark Region is still very strong.
I also don’t want to deal with those underground gnomes who only know how to explode, and the gray dwarves who like to drink and deceive. The drow are my best partners.
I had heard before that a turmoil might break out in the Dark Territory, but I didn’t expect it to come so quickly…”
At this point, he paused and added, “I can’t get the blood you want for the time being.”
“That family may have been wiped out.”
Reynold pondered for a moment, took a sip of Bloody Mary, and felt the slightly sweet wine flow down his throat and into his stomach, and finally erupted with a burning pain, “I think you need to find a partner again.”
“What did you say?”
Gade’s expression suddenly changed, and he asked subconsciously.
“Soon, you will know that there are several more corpses of drow elves in Badi than Larry, and they are still female. I’m afraid you will have to handle them in the end. Those necromancers like them the most…”
As he spoke, Reynold couldn’t help but reveal a bit of disdain.
The use of certain alchemical potions can significantly delay the decay of a corpse.
As long as it is combined with the puppet-like ability of the Holy Grail extraordinary person, it can be made into a corpse puppet.
However, in the early years, ordinary corpse puppets were only used by necromancers in combat, and a group of necromancers who tried to steal corpses also spawned.
In this regard, they are somewhat similar to the Ghoul Cult.
It’s just that one steals corpses to make puppets, and the other steals corpses and uses them as food.
Because of the rarity of drow, a corpse of a drow can fetch a sky-high price on the black market.
Even if Reynold had intentionally drained their blood and damaged the quality to a certain extent, it would still be valuable, but it would just take a lot more effort.
If it weren’t for the fact that he needed to abide by the agreement to protect Aaron, otherwise, he would have returned to the Weedao Town tavern carrying these corpses.
As a believer in blood, he naturally looks down on those who are greedy for corpses and silent immortality, but who can refuse shiny gold coins?
Reynold is not greedy for gold coins, he just needs money.
A lot of money.
However, Gad’s attention was not on the “corpse of the drow elf”.
He just whispered inexplicably: “I’ve been discovered…”
Reynold answered smoothly, “However, it seems that someone escaped.”
Intentionally or unintentionally, he stared at Ged and said this.
