Xia Zuo and the others were led by the butler Rhine, and they observed while walking, and soon came to the stable where Viscount Saxe kept his horses.

Viscount Saxophone is a well-known horse lover in the neighborhood, and riding a horse to hunt or race is a big hobby of Viscount Saxophone.

Therefore, Viscount Saxophone kept many good horses, and Viscount Saxophone had several stables, each of which was very wide enough to accommodate a dozen horses, and there were many servants who took care of these horses day and night to ensure the condition of the horses.

It's just that the stables have been damaged to varying degrees, apparently because of the recent griffon attack.

"There's quite a lot of horses, and they look pretty good. ”

Xia Zuo looked at the stable with many strong and good horses, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Xia Zuo had not seen a horse before, it was the first time Xia Zuo had seen so many horses.

After all, the Hoggen Mountains where Xia Zuo once lived were not grasslands, so naturally there were no horses.

"But I always feel that these horses don't seem to be very happy......" Xia Zuo muttered as he observed the horses.

"It's not very happy. Elsa echoed that Elsa's mental power was stronger and she could sense the emotions of animals better, and she also found that these horses were not quite emotionally right, just like Xia Zuo.

"They're ......scared, angry," Jasmine nodded.

"Do you think what Viscount Sachs said is the whole truth?" said the captain suddenly.

"I don't think so. Fred said on the side.

"There may be something strange about this. ”

"Viscount Sachs gives me a bit of a flickering feeling......," Fred said.

"And, when we mentioned that the spectre might be a griffon, he didn't quite react quite right. ”

"It's like ......"

"As if he already knew?" Xia Zuo said curiously.

"Yes. Fred smiled.

He could not be trusted. Fred looked around at the crowd and reminded.

"Well, I noticed something. Jasmine said suddenly.

Viscount Saxophone's body aura was a little unstable, and he seemed to have a slight injury, but he didn't mention it at all, and even pretended not to be injured. Jasmine explained.

Jasmine, as an elixir master who is good at body healing, has special spiritual powers, and is very sensitive to the breath of the human body, so it is easy to see that Viscount Sax is hiding his injuries.

It's just that, out of prudence, Jasmine didn't expose him on the spot.

"Yo, that's interesting, I'm afraid it's more than it seems. Fred paused for a moment and chuckled.

"It would be even more interesting if Viscount Saxe's injury had something to do with a ghost beast suspected of being a griffin. ”

Why was Viscount Saxe attacked by a griffon, and why didn't he tell us that he was wounded? What was he trying to hide? Wasn't it just a simple case of a ghost beast preying on a horse?

Fred thought.

"Since Viscount Sachs is deliberately hiding something, then we will investigate it ourselves. Xia Zuo said.

"Hmm. The captain nodded.

The others then dispersed and began to look for possible clues on the side of the stable.

Xia Zuo observed alone by the stable, and Xia Zuo's observation ability was further strengthened due to the strengthening of Xia Zuo's mental power due to the extraordinary ability of soul tracking.

Xia Zuo investigates in the No. 1 stable, and his strong mental power makes Xia Zuo not let go of any detail.

But Xia Zuo investigated for a long time, but still couldn't find any clues.

The No. 1 stable can be said to be the most damaged stable, Xia Zuo originally thought that he could easily find relevant clues here, but he didn't expect that he didn't seem to find any clues at all.

Just when Xia Zuo was about to give up.

Xia Zuo's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a feather.

This feather has a bit of a peculiar shape, similar to an eagle's feather, but with a slight difference.

"What is this?!" Xia Zuo hurriedly picked up the feather and began to examine it.

"It's like an eagle's feather, but it's not very much like it, and this feather seems to contain a trace of soul matter, could it be that this is the feather left by the griffin?" Xia Zuo was surprised.

Xia Zuo hurriedly walked in front of everyone with this feather.

"I seem to have found a clue!"

"This may be the feathers left over from the griffon. Xia Zorio said a little excitedly.

"......" Everyone in the Dark Night Curtain was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the feather in Xia Zuo's hand.

Fred reached out and took the feather.

"It's kind of weird. Fred took a closer look and muttered, then handed the feather to Ian.

"It's really weird. Ian said too, and then handed the feather to the others, and Ian, who was almost nonexistent, finally had a little presence at this point.

"This is indeed not a griffon's feather. Elsa and Jasmine looked at it for a moment, used their mental power to further confirm the feather, and spoke.

The captain stared at the feather and was silent for a few moments.

Xia Zuo looked at everyone's reactions, a little confused.

"This feather appeared in the stable for no reason, and it contains a soul, similar to the feathers of an eagle......"

“...... If it weren't for griffin feathers, what would it be?"

"Xia Zuo, you don't have enough experience. ”

"Griffons' feathers are thicker, but this feather on your hand is lighter, not like normal griffon feathers. Finally, the captain opened his mouth to explain.

"So what the hell is this?" Xia Zuo scratched his head and asked curiously.

"That's the question...... I don't know yet. Fred popped up and said.

"That's why it's really interesting to say that this commission is really interesting. Fred smiled lightly.

"Judging by this feather, it doesn't seem like the griffin that attacked and took away the horse. ”

"But if it's not a griffin, what kind of ghost beast would be interested in preying on horses......"

"It's a mystery......

"Then we'll take this feather back and investigate it later. Xia Zuo suggested.

"Hmm. The captain bowed slightly, then returned the feather to Natsuzo.

"Wait a minute. ”

Just as Xia Zuo was about to put away the feathers, Jasmine suddenly said loudly.

"Let me check again, there seems to be something wrong with this feather. Jasmine said seriously.

"Ahh Xia Zuo saw that it was Jasmine, and hurriedly handed the ghost beast feather to Jasmine.

"Well, thank you. ”

Jasmine took the feather, put the feather on the palm of her hand, then closed her eyes, mobilized her mental power, and sensed the feather seriously for a while.

After a while, Jasmine slowly opened her red eyes, and there seemed to be a glint in her eyes.

Of course, Jasmine was still hidden deep in the hood of the black coat, and Jasmine's eyes Xia Zuo couldn't see them.

"This feather ......" Jasmine seemed to understand something.

"It's not the feathers of ordinary soul creatures. ”

"???" Xia Zuo was stunned.

It's not an ordinary soul creature, is it still some powerful special soul creature?

"It should be said that the owner of this feather is not a complete soul creature, that is, it is not a complete ghost beast. Jasmine further explained.

"A complete, true ghost beast has a soul substance all over its body, so if this ghost beast has feathers, then its feathers should also be made entirely of soul matter. ”

"But this feather ......"

"It's just a soul, not a whole soul. ”

"This means that this Phantom Beast should be a half-Phantom Beast, not a pure Phantom Beast, or a half-blood Phantom Beast like our Soul Descendants. ”

"It can't possibly be a normal griffon. Jasmine said firmly.

The people in the dark night suddenly realized.

"Then it's interesting. Fred said again, "Looking at Viscount Saxophone's appearance, it should be confirmed that it is a griffin, but it is just pretending not to know." ”

"But we now find out that this beast is not a griffon. ”

"There are so many mysteries. The captain said.

"Maybe we can go and ask Viscount Sachs directly about the real situation?" asked Xia Zuo.

"Forget it, looking at his secretive performance, I guess even if we ask him directly, he won't reveal anything. Fred glanced at Xia Zuo.

"Let's go back and see how Viscount Sachs reacts to this feather. Fred said.

"Then let's go. Arnos bowed his head and lifted his footsteps, ready to leave the stable, and walked towards Rhine, the butler who was waiting there in the distance.

At this time.

Suddenly, a gust of wind howled, causing the trees in the castle to sway, causing them to stop.

Xia Zuo suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked at Jasmine.

I saw Jasmine's little hand tighten the hood, so that the hood was not blown away by the wind.

Ah, okay.

Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Just as Xia Zuo was relaxing, Xia Zuo suddenly saw a huge figure appear in the sky, hovering in the sky.

Xia Zuo was stunned.

"It's coming. The captain's voice sounded, and the calm voice made Xia Zuo immediately calm down.

It's okay, everybody's here.

Xia Zuo looked at the huge figure.

What kind of beast could it be? It happened to be the Viscount Saxe who came to raid and capture the horses when we visited.

I saw that the huge figure began to decline, and the face of the owner of the huge figure gradually became clear.

The monster looked down at Natsuzo from the air, its eyes sharp, and it seemed ready to attack at any moment.

And the servants of the Viscount Saxophone family below looked at the Xia Zuo people who were waiting for them with a strange expression, and they didn't seem to see this huge monster hovering in the air at all.

This is because of the nature of the soul creature soul, if the spiritual power of ordinary people is not strong enough, not only can they not touch the soul creature, but they also cannot perceive the existence of the soul creature.

Like before, Andrew can see ghosts, precisely because Andrew's mental power should be stronger than ordinary people.

Xia Zuo now saw the huge monster completely clearly.

It was a huge monster with the head and wings of an eagle, the body of a lion and its claws, and the huge wings on its back that seemed to block out the sky.

Xia Zuo's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Won't you...... It's really a griffin??!"
