The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant - The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant chapter 128

The sky lord? (3)

royal garden.

Upon receiving the surprising news, Baron Vidor and I hurriedly moved there.

Then I could see for myself.

tweet-!

The sight of thirty griffons wandering around following the gestures of a dwarf the size of my torso.

“Huh, that was true!”

“Hmm.”

When told to walk, they walked, and when told to fly, they leaped and flew up as if gliding.

It was different from the way it was reluctantly controlled by human hands. As if the news that had really been heard proved to be true, the Dwarves were acting as if they were communicating.

The surprise didn’t end there.

tweet-!

Chirp!

“Hoo.”

The griffons landed on the floor and approached the dwarves without hesitation, as if they were dealing with their own people.

Then, he showed his friendliness by rubbing his hair.

It was a scene I had never seen before.

On the contrary, to the point where the cheeky appearance he has shown so far looks like a lie.

“… … Right.”

I watched it and left a short impression.

for example… … It was said to react to blood.

It was said that the blood of the fairies in the bodies of the dwarves became the key to controlling the phantom beasts.

‘That’s because it’s friendly.’

He nodded and was lost in thought for a moment.

Like ancient records and magic, it was so long ago that things related to different races were dismissed as legends.

As a result, most of the relevant records have been lost.

Esteban’s scholars only guessed the abilities of the dwarves based on the contents of the legend and conversations.

And it wasn’t even in the legends that they could handle griffons.

Of course, it was knowledge that was not revealed even before the return. That would also be the case, because at the time the dwarves were just slaves or confined to an underground alcove. It was a fact no one could have guessed.

Another secret like that was revealed at the right time, as it just so happened to be.

“What did I say? Are you saying that fairy or something really reacts to griffons?”

George patted his chest like that and spoke confidently.

It was something strangely snarky. At first, it must have been that he had a resentment for not believing his words right away.

Because that figure was very close, he told him to shut up and had the dwarves summoned.

“Chemm! Sorry to keep you waiting.”

The Dwarf who was controlling them approached with a fresh cough.

You must have heard about the breeding situation before. I decided to get straight to the point.

“Explain.”

“Ah, the relationship between Griffin and our clan?”

“okay.”

“It’s a bit long to explain… … I will try to explain it as briefly as possible.”

Then, as if searching for a memory, the boy gently closed his eyes and continued talking.

“For now, I have to start with the story of the phantom beast. I heard that they are treated like monsters now. However, phantom beasts are originally animals that have inherited the blood of fairies, strictly speaking.”

“Did you receive the blood of the fairies?”

“exactly.”

If the dwarves could be classified as a race that inherited the blood of the fairies, it was said that the phantom beasts were also the same.

The identity of the immediate intimacy seemed to be due to the blood of the fairies.

However, if there was a difference from the dwarves, it could be said that the blood they inherited was very shallow.

“It is thanks to the blood of the fairies that I inherited, albeit in a small amount, that the phantom beast paper maintains Iji. But because of that, his personality is also very picky and has a strong sense of superiority.”

“The blood of the fairies… … There must be a reason why they looked down on people.”

“Perhaps humans reacted that way because they don’t feel the blood.”

The guy agreed and added confidence to his guess.

Of course, what I was talking about was a little different.

‘The things they do are not much different from those of the dwarves.’

Suffering from an excessive sense of superiority and a bizarre personality.

It seems that it was not an illusion that it was thought that it resembled a dwarf in a strange way.

I said, raising my eyebrows slightly.

“So, what is the relationship between dwarves and griffons?”

“As phantom beasts, they have been companions of fairies since ancient times. Sometimes they became the feet of the slow-moving Dwarves, and sometimes they became the wind that brought news.”

“To put it simply, it was a substitute for a horse.”

“You can’t make a conclusion about the relationship between the two so harshly.”

… … After all, it was a means of transportation in the sky, right?

I patted my chin while briefly defining it inwardly.

‘It’s a phantom beast… … .’

Knowledge of griffon was still being studied steadily.

But that’s just miscellaneous knowledge about ecology and behavior. There was no corner that was very helpful.

But after hearing that story, somehow I felt like I had a good way to use it.

Things that I thought were troublesome for a long time started to look surprisingly useful.

It was then.

“Even so, those children seem to be particularly obedient. As if the rapport had already been completed… … .”

“I guess so.”

“hmm? Did humans even try to communicate?”

“Rolled to death.”

“… … .”

“If you roll to death, you can’t think nonsense.”

I answered casually and looked at the griffons.

tweet!!

Chirp!!

They have reached a point where they straighten their posture when I look at them.

Now it seemed to me that I was completely at the top of the hierarchy.

It’s also incredibly far up the top… … .

Really lately, it was imprinted enough to be sure.

“… … It’s violent, but it’s a sure way.”

The dwarf was thinking positively even though his expression was crumpled as if he was disgusted.

“Since they are naturally free children, it takes a long time to deal with them, but if you do this, you will be able to be with the clan right away.”

“Right.”

This is the kind of news I’ve been hearing.

I slowly raised my eyebrows and started talking to him.

“In that case, I will send all of them to Galderd Plain.”

“hmm? Will you be able to? It would be nice if we weren’t enemies, but… … .”

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

The Dwarf was surprised and asked again.

It was a natural reaction since I had even heard that these griffons were for research purposes.

However, he was no longer interested in such a boring research.

‘You can use a griffon as a mount… … .’

… … okay.

Only the things he had already heard from him lingered in his head.

I patted my chin in satisfaction and opened my mouth.

“How long does it take for them to grow into adults?”

“hmm? They grow quickly, so half a year should be enough.”

“Right.”

My lips smiled even more deeply.

Using thirty griffons? What great power would that be?

Although he could only deal with dwarves, that was already enough.

Then there is no hesitation.

“Take them to the plains right now. We will provide immediate support for what is needed for breeding.”

“Okay. According to your words, nothing bad will happen. I will pass the word on to the captain.”

“hmm.”

“… … No, what are you planning?”

A reproach, not George’s, followed.

But the twisting corners of his lips did not stop.

… … no.

“In addition, the direction of their growth is like this.”

“As for the direction of growth… … .”

Rather, the lips that were spitting out seemed to be more interested than before.

* * *

“You are gone after all.”

Baron Vidor said bitterly as he looked at the garden that had been emptied overnight.

When they were here, they were griffons who looked like bad boys, but when they disappeared, they felt sad.

Of course, the same goes for the scholars who studied Gryphon.

They were holding back tears, remembering the griffons who had disappeared with my decision.

But there was no time to waste on such sentiments.

“How about contact from the Magic Tower?”

“I just arrived. It is said that if the dwarves make a saddle, it is possible to install magic to help it fly.”

“There won’t be any disruption to training.”

I thought as I tapped my finger on the desk.

‘It was really unexpectedly useful.’

… … Griffin’s Egg.

I didn’t want this use from the beginning, but I didn’t mind.

Anything that was available was good.

“Your Highness, then what should we do with the rest of the eggs?”

“How many eggs that failed to hatch remain?”

“There are fourteen in total. Some are said to have already begun to rot.”

“… … Right.”

I stopped tapping my hand on the desk.

From noble mtl dot com.

The first number of eggs brought was 44. Perhaps because of the poor environment, the hatching rate did not exceed 70%.

Of course, looking at the results alone, it could have been disappointing, but… … .

“Process the magic and hand it over to the scholars. Find the cause of the hatching failure and find out the solution completely.”

“Ah, it was because of the second generation that will hatch in the plains later.”

Those sent to the plains will also breed afterward.

Then, finding the cause of the failure is also the most important research.

On the contrary, if the cause can be eliminated by clearly identifying the cause, its value will be indescribable.

‘It must mean that I was given an opportunity to prepare in advance.’

The plan was perfect.

It was thanks to the unexpected key given, but it would have been impossible without my arrangement to rescue the dwarves.

One by one, my actions are bearing fruit.

however.

“I, Your Highness… … ! big thing… … No, the unexpected happened!”

It was right after that that the baron who had been entrusted with Al’s care came with the news.

And it was a plan that no one had planned.

“It is said that a griffon hatched from one of the eggs that were thought dead!”

… … The 31st Gryphon has appeared in the world!

* * *

“… … So, why are you doing that?”

George thought that questioning was trivial now.

But this time, it was difficult to hold back the question. It was because one of the belatedly hatched algae was hiding in the dark corner of the warehouse.

I replied roughly as if nothing had happened.

“They seem to have missed the hatching period because they are in poor condition.”

“What does that have to do with doing that?”

“I heard that because I am sick, I seem to be very wary. Scholars said he was resting.”

Literally a baby griffon wheezing in a corner.

At first glance, he looked somewhat sickly, unlike the griffons who used to walk around the garden.

said George with a frown.

“Should I send it to the plains right away before it bothers me?”

“impossible.”

“why.”

“They say it’s hard to accept a Griffon who’s already out of the pack as a companion.”

It was the so-called imprinting effect.

Babies born at the same time have the perception that they are allies, but if someone else intervenes, that is not the case.

“You may be able to join the crowd, but academics say you will be bullied.”

Especially since I’m sick, I don’t think I’ll have the ability to withstand their territorial attitude.

Looking at the figure, it was certainly likely.

“Then that… … .”

“I will have to grow up separately. There should be no problem as the facilities and breeders remain.”

“What is all this going on?”

George was taken aback and laughed.

I also didn’t expect it, so I understand. Of course, it had nothing to do with me.

“Now that it’s like that, when it comes to breeding, you guys take care of it.”

“Haa, as expected, it’s bothering me.”

So, again, George was frustrated by the extra work.

It was good to say that it was a feeling that had been cultivated by being together in the royal castle for quite a long time.

Something like a sensor that detects annoyance.

“I thought it would end like this, so I tried to send it to the plains… … .”

Even so, there was no way he could do anything about what had already been decided.

Well, anyway, the scholars are keeping their eyes on it for observation, so it just worked out.

Rather, it should be welcomed in that even one has increased.

But that was the moment.

As if he had never done that before, he seriously opened his eyes and brought his mouth closer.

Then he said in a low voice.

“Finally, the Federation Empire took the bait.”
