Griffons.

Powerful soul creatures that like to prey on horses and are natural enemies of horses.

According to the worldview of the soul descendants, the griffin belongs to the beast-like soul creature in terms of classification, that is, the soul descendants generally call the ghost beast, and further classified as the flying wind forest species phantom beast.

Since the flying system is subdivided into high-altitude and low-altitude systems, griffons have quite high aerial flying skills and can fly at high altitudes, so griffons can also be classified as high-altitude wind forest species.

Regarding the specific classification of phantom beasts, they are generally classified as follows: in terms of classification, phantom beasts are first divided into four major systems of sea, land and air amphibious according to the activity mode of phantom beasts.

That is, the water seclusion system of swimming activities in the sea or water, the land system of walking activities on land, the flight system of air flight activities, and the amphibian system of activities both on land and in water.

After dividing the series, the next step is to divide according to the attribute ability of the phantom beast and the specific environment in which the phantom beast inhabits.

For example, griffons generally inhabit mountains, forests and plains, and have the attribute ability to manipulate the wind element, so they belong to the wind forest species in terms of classification.

"Griffon, as I guessed. Fred couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, hey. Xia Zuo seemed a little smug and happy.

"It's just that I'll leave this opportunity to you, otherwise you think we won't be able to think of this famous soul creature for so long?" Fred added as he glanced at Xia Zuo.

"Haha. ”

Xia Zuo looked at the default everyone on the side, and couldn't help but scratch his head slightly embarrassed.

"Since the horses in Viscount Saxophone's territory have been repeatedly attacked by this phantom beast, let's go to Viscount Saxophone this time to take a look. ”

"Go there and investigate and see if this ghost beast is a griffon, after all, there could be some other ghost beast we don't know about. Fred said.

"Maybe we'll just happen to meet the ghost beast that came to attack the horses. The corners of Fred's mouth rose slightly.

"So......" Captain Anos stood up after Fred stopped the introduction.

"Ladies of the Night, you're ready to go, this time not according to the old rules. ”

"Let's all go there and look into it together. ”

After all, in an event like this, one more person may have one more clue.

Moreover, this operation is only to investigate, and it is not as dangerous as the last time the ordinary blood demon species.

That's why Anos allowed all the members of the Night Veil to investigate.

"Good. Everyone in the Night Veil nodded.

"After all, it's a commission that is likely to be related to soul creatures, and this kind of thing can only be solved by us soul descendants. The captain said, and then suddenly looked at Xia Zuo.

"Xia Zuo, are you sure that there is basically no problem with your body?" the captain glanced at Xia Zuo for a moment, and then spoke, asking with a concerned expression.

"Ah, it's okay, I'm in good shape now!" Xia Zuo hurriedly explained, for fear that the captain would cancel his qualification to participate in the mission on the grounds that his body had not fully recovered, after all, Xia Zuo had almost been bored these days.

"Well, that's good. The captain smiled faintly, then looked at the crowd.

"Prepare, we'll leave later. ”

"Go to Viscount Saxe's domain. ”

... ...

About an hour later, the "heavily armed" Xia Zuo and his teammates finally arrived at Viscount Sax's territory.

Viscount Saxe's domain is located in the Anli district next to the city of Clerabek, which is located to the west of Clera, also known as the West District, and is no less prosperous than the city of Baker.

In the city of Anli, there is a rather magnificent castle, this castle has a beautiful appearance, covers a large area, and the entrance of the castle is guarded by heavily armed guards.

This is where Viscount Sachs lived.

As for the territory of Viscount Sax, in addition to the interior of this castle, it also includes some farmsteads and suburbs outside the castle, which can be said to be quite large.

"It's so big, this castle. ”

Xia Zuo stood in the distance at the door of the Viscount Saxophone Castle, looking at this huge and magnificent castle, and couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, it is the castle of the noble viscount, and the Viscount Sachs must have spent a lot of money on it. Fred chuckled.

"Let's go inside. The captain said.

So Xia Zuo and the captain walked to the gate of the castle and stopped in front of the castle guards.

"Who are you?" the two guards at the gate asked sharply when they saw Xia Zuo and so many of them approaching.

"Invited by His Excellency Viscount Saxe, a detective who has come to solve the theft. Unafraid of the serious guard, Anos said to the guard.

"Detective?" the guards couldn't help but be stunned, then the two guards looked at each other, then at Xia Zuo and them, and at Xia Zuo and the others.

"The Viscount did mention this, sorry for the rudeness. The two guards apologized to Xia Zuo and the others.

"But just in case, please wait a minute, I'll go and report first. One of the tall, thin guards said.

"No, this is a token from His Excellency the Viscount. The captain took out a small, round metal object with a horse's head carved on it.

This is a token gold coin made by the Sachs family itself, and it is generally not circulated in the market.

"Understood. The guard took the token handed over by the captain, examined it carefully, and then said.

"Please come in, Detectives. The guard put away his weapons and got out of the way.

The captain nodded, then glanced at Xia Zuo and the others, and went into the castle with Xia Zuo and them.

... ...

In the castle, as soon as Xia Zuo and the others entered the castle, they met a mature man in extraordinary clothes, and the mature man looked at Xia Zuo and them, and then greeted Xia Zuo and them.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen from Rock Street. The man greeted.

Xia Zuo and they couldn't help but stop.

"I am Lord Sachs's butler, Rhein Wilson, and I have come to meet you by order of Lord Viscount. ”

"Master Sachs has been waiting inside for a long time. Rhine smiled politely, turned sideways, and reached for the side of the road.

"Please follow me. Rhein said.

"I'm sorry for you. ”

Xia Zuo and the others couldn't help but nodded.

Xia Zuo and the others walked towards the path that Rhine was pointing to.

Then Rhine quickened his pace, caught up with Xia Zuo and the others, and showed Xia Zuo and them the way.

After all, it is a huge castle with many roads and rooms.

If they were left to find Viscount Saxophone on their own, they would probably get lost.

... ...

Led by Rhine, Xia Zuo and the others soon arrived at the main parlor where Viscount Saxe was.

In the living room, a man dressed in black sits upright, his clothes are rich and bright, and the cuffs of his jacket are embroidered with a noble badge of the Saxophone family.

The man looked at the door from time to time while sipping the coffee that the servant had just brewed, looking a little anxious.

The man was none other than the customer of this commission: Viscount Saxophone.

The full name is "Sax Brenda".

A well-known knight aristocrat, a horse enthusiast, and the vice president of the Clara Horse Association.

Viscount Sachs took another sip of coffee, frowned slightly, and then looked in the direction of the door.

I happened to see Xia Zuo and the others who were about to come in.

When Viscount Saxe saw Fred in the crowd, his eyes lit up and he reacted immediately.

"Welcome to my castle, Mr. Detective. Viscount Sachs smiled, then waved his hand to Rhine, the butler, and motioned for Rhine to exit first.

Rhine nodded, then silently turned away.

"Alright, now it's just us. ”

"Let me welcome you all over again. ”

"Welcome to my castle, Lords of the Nightveil. Viscount Sachs smiled and motioned for Xia Zuo to sit down.

Although Viscount Saxophone is a human nobleman, in the face of the Soul Descendant with extraordinary power, Viscount Saxophone can't help but respect the other party extraordinarily.

"Thank you. The captain took the lead in responding.

The people sat down in the sight of Viscount Saxophone.

"There haven't been any accidents since last night until today, have they?" asked Anos.

Viscount Sachs did not answer immediately, but looked at Fred to the side.

"This is my captain, Arnos Adrien. Fred explained to Sachs.

"Ah, that's a disrespect to Lord Anos. Viscount Sachs hurriedly apologized.

"There really haven't been any accidents since last night. Viscount Sachs replied.

"But I think this abominable thief could come at any time today. Viscount Sachs's tone was implicitly angry, as if the very mention of the thief made him very unhappy.

"So sure?" Fred asked suddenly.

"Of course, this guy is ......," Viscount Sachs's voice suddenly paused, "but...... Stole my horse several times in a row!"

"I come at least once every other day, and the time is not very fixed. Viscount Sachs explained.

"What should you know, is this thief really related to those soul creatures?" asked Viscount Sachs.

"What is its true body?"

"It's supposed to be a ghostly beast. Arnos said, not specifically explaining what the Spectral Beast was.

Viscount Sax, as a high-level human who knows the existence of soul descendants and other beings, naturally knows about phantom beasts, and there is no need for Arnos to explain it again.

"According to our speculation, this phantom beast likes to prey on horses, so it should belong to the high-altitude wind forest species......"

"Griffons. ”

Xia Zor followed up on Anos's words and explained.

Viscount Saxophone was stunned, and his left hand shook uncontrollably.

"yes, I didn't think of that. ”

"It's really worthy of the Soul Descent in disguise as a detective. Viscount Sachs applauded.

"May I ask if you can catch this griffon, then?" asked Viscount Sachs.

"Let's take a look first. Anos glanced at Viscount Sachs, who didn't seem to be quite right, and responded.

"After all, griffons aren't powerful soul creatures that are so easy to catch. ”

"It's not entirely certain it's a griffon, and further investigation is needed. ”

"Can we take a tour of the castle and investigate it here?" asked Fred, who was on the sidelines.

"Of course, please do it yourself. Sachs paused, then nodded.

So Xia Zuo and the others launched an investigation into the griffin in this castle.
