Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 49 Solving the Mystery

The little eagle in front of him stared at Xia Zuo and them vigilantly, obviously the little eagle was at a disadvantage at this time, but it didn't seem to have the slightest idea of escaping, as if there was something here that made it unwilling to leave.

It's weird.

With the Hippogriff's ability to fly, if it wanted to escape at this moment, Xia Zuo and the others would not be able to stop it.

"I warn you, leave quickly, or I won't be polite to you!" The little eagle looked like it was dancing its teeth and claws, as if it wanted to scare off Xia Zuo and the others.

After all, with the ability of this Hippogriff, if it really fought Xia Zuo and the others head-on, the Hippogriff would definitely lose.

This little Hippogriff is really bold.

Xia Zuo thought about it and was about to say something, but was suddenly stopped by Jasmine.

"I thought we could talk about it first. Jasmine said to the little Hippogriff.

"We don't have any animosity. Jasmine's voice was very gentle, and conveyed a gentle spiritual power.

"......" The little junppy eagle still stared at Jasmine vigilantly for a while, and then slowly quieted down, and the soul energy on its body also converged slightly.

"I have no reason to trust you. "My father said that man is a dirty creature that cannot be trusted. ”

"It's true that many humans are untrustworthy, but I don't think we're the ones who will be discredited. ”

"And even if you don't want to talk to us, you don't want to just leave here, do you?" Jasmine said, glancing at the nameless grave where Leah was buried.

"There's something important to you here, isn't there?"

When the little Hippogriff heard this, he was silent for a while and did not speak.

"Well, then, since you don't want to leave here, why don't we talk?" Jasmine persuaded, "Don't worry, we'll just talk like this, we won't be near where you are." ”

“...... All right. The little Hippogriff nodded slowly, seemingly agreeing with Jasmine's statement.

Xia Zuo was a little confused on the side, we promised not to go near this ghostly beast, so how are we going to turn Leah into an undead to get the truth?

However, Xia Zuo decided to believe Jasmine.

Maybe Jasmine can use this conversation to get the truth?

Edith smiled at Jasmine and Hippogriff, thoughtful.

"Hippogriff......" Edith muttered to herself.

"Hippogriff ......" Xia Zuo heard this, and muttered softly, Hippogriff, this is really the first time he has heard of it, when Jasmine said the word Hippogriff, he was completely confused.

He hadn't heard of the Hippogriff when he was making up for the knowledge of the Soul Descendant before, although there were actually Hippogriffs in human legends, but Xia Zuo only had an impression of some famous mythical creatures, Hippogriffs, he really didn't know about them.

But Xia Zuo could guess something.

"This hippogriff looks like a griffin and a horse, could it actually be ......" Xia Zuo was about to say something but suddenly paused, because he felt that his idea seemed a little crazy: griffin and mare, these two things can really ...... Together?

"Brother, you may be able to understand if you look at it first. Edith smiled slyly and didn't answer Xia Zuo directly.

"So, what do you want to know?" asked the young eagle after a moment's hesitation.

“...... Does your father have a vendetta against some human?" asked Jasmine.

“...... Be. The little eagle's eyes suddenly sharpened, but then he retracted and nodded slightly.

“...... Your mother's name is 'Leah', the mare buried in the grave next to you. Jasmine asked.

“...... Be. The little eagle looked at Jasmine vigilantly, as if she was worried about what Jasmine had to think of Leah's grave, but after realizing that Jasmine had no other meaning, she nodded slowly.

Why does this human being seem to know everything?

"So, one last question. Jasmine suddenly took a deep breath, she seemed to have figured something out, but she still needed one last thing to confirm.

"Your mother...... Was it killed by a human. As soon as Jasmine's words came out, Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, and then the slow nod of the Hippogriff made Xia Zuo even more dumbfounded.

This...... If what this Hippogriff says is true, then it seems that all the clues can be chained together.

Then, the mystery is solved. Jasmine said confidently, "I think I know what's going on." ”

“...... We've all been cheated by Sachs. ”

"He's the real culprit. ”

"The griffon wanted to kill Sachs. ”

"But that's because ...... Sachs: He killed the griffon's mate!"

"It can be speculated that Sachs once took Lea to the plains of Dessa, and then Leah had an accident,...... It was probably that time that Leah met a griffin and miraculously fell in love. ”

But he didn't know about Sachs. ”

Later, Sachs suddenly found out that Leah was pregnant, and Sachs reacted. ”

Since Lea never touched other stallions, Sachs naturally mistakenly thought that Leah had a relationship with a wild horse while he was not paying attention in the plains of Dessa, so she became pregnant. ”

Sachs must have been very angry at the time, after all, he had always hoped that Leah would be able to produce offspring with a good stallion, but he didn't expect to be preempted by the wild breed in the wild. ”

But he was a little lucky: what if Leah had a relationship with a certain fine and sturdy wild horse, so he blocked the news, and even forbade Murfmore, who was taking care of Leah, to go out, hoping that Leah would give birth to a good stallion. ”

"However, a few months later, Leah gave birth to an 'ugly' monster that is not a horse and a griffin: a hippogriff. ”

"Hippogriffs are very ugly when they are born, and very few people like them. ”

"And, Saxophone, he shouldn't have recognized it as a Hippogriff at all. ”

"Actually, even among us Soul Born, few of us know of the existence of this creature. ”

"The existence of this creature is incredible, and it itself symbolizes miraculous love. ”

Sachs was furious, believing that Leah had not only had sex with the mustang, but had also given birth to a deformed young horse, which was a great shame for Sachs - the good horse he had bred for so long had hooked up with the mustang and gave birth to a deformed hybrid. ”

"So Sachs was furious, and finally killed Leah, and blocked the news for his reputation, claiming that Leah had died accidentally, and even killed Mulfmore, who knew the truth, and the guards who helped us......"

"The other nameless grave is actually Mulfmore. ”

"......," Jasmine said, suddenly silent.

"So, you were there when Leah was killed, right? ”

"That strange feather left there is yours. Jasmine looked at the Hippogriff and said.

“...... Yes, you're not wrong. The little eagle was silent for a long time before nodding slowly and replying.

Is this the truth?

Xia Zuo's mood at the moment is as chaotic as turning over the river and the sea, this Saxophone Viscount, is it because of this kind of thing?

That's a precious living life.

"Later, after some time, the griffin finally broke free from the shackles of the tribe and came to look for Leah, only to find that Leah was already dead, and only you were left alive, after all, as a half-soul creature, it is not so easy to die. ”

In a fit of rage, the griffin attacked the castle and tried to kill Viscount Sax, but was stopped by Edith, who arrived just in time. ”

"Because Edith has been unable to solve the griffon's problem for a long time, she has demanded a huge reward...... Sachs decided to entrust us with the Dark Veil, creating a situation where two tigers are pitting each other. Jasmine glanced at Edith.

"Hey...... After all, this amount of money is not earned in vain. Edith replied with a grin, ignoring Jasmine's cold gaze.

“...... In order to make the plan successful: 'Kill the griffon, and get rid of Edith'......" Jasmine retracted her gaze and continued, "Naturally, Saxophone can't let us know the truth through the Night Veil. ”

"If we had known the truth, we wouldn't have accepted the commission. Jasmine said, "Actually, the presence of Edith alone is enough to make many soul hunters refuse this commission. ”

Edith's murderous reputation is really not a joke.

If it weren't for Xia Zuo's specialness, maybe the Night Curtain would have been fighting with Edith a long time ago.

"Sachs hopes that Edith will contradict us, but unfortunately his plan does not come to fruition, and Xia Zuo not only befriends Edith, but even finds some clues and gets the help of the guards. ”

"To stop us, Sachs secretly instructed one of the Soul Descendants to kill the guard. ”

"Although I can't confirm who this soul-descendant is......"

"Neil......" Xia Zuo couldn't help but think of the guard Neil who had died in a terrible state before, and suddenly clenched his fists.

"Viscount Saxophone......" Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and whispered word by word.

"So...... Are you going to stop us now?" asked the little Hippogriff, "there's no way we're going to forgive that human. ”

"That human, unforgivable!" the little Hippogriff growled.

“...... What about your father?" Jasmine did not answer the young Hippogriff directly, but asked where the griffin was.

"Father......" The little eagle glanced at Jasmine alertly, as if she felt that Jasmine had no malicious intentions, and then replied: "Father said that 'he' found something, something that can heal injuries and greatly increase strength, and then went out to test the power of the fruit." ”

“...... What is it?" Jasmine's voice suddenly paused, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but look at the little eagle, Xia Zuo was very curious.

Is there such a good thing? It can not only heal injuries but also greatly improve one's own strength?

Edith stood aside, frowning slightly, but did not speak.

"It's like it's called ......'Amte'. The little Hippogriff thought for a moment and replied.

Jasmine was stunned.

Ammut tree fruit.

The Fruit of Poison is a strange fruit that can greatly increase the power of soul creatures in a short period of time.

The poison it contains is very special, it can temporarily recover from the injuries of soul creatures, and even make the pain disappear, stimulating the life potential of soul creatures, but the consequence is that it will be eroded by its poison, and finally die of exhaustion.

It is a highly poisonous fruit that burns life and can only be eaten once in a lifetime!

"Oh no! this griffin is trying to die! he wants to die with that guy from Sachs!" Jasmine reacted.

"What?" Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment, and even the little eagle on the side was stunned, not understanding what Jasmine meant.

Edith, on the side, seemed to have guessed it a long time ago.

"You don't know the Ammut Tree Fruit?" Jasmine's voice paused, too, after all, it is a young young eagle that has not been born for a long time, although the body develops rapidly, but knowledge is not something that is born quickly.

"Ammut Tree Fruit is actually a highly poisonous fruit that can stimulate life potential, and its toxin will completely kill the user after the user's strength is exhausted!" Jasmine explained briefly.

"That'...... This griffin ......" Xia Zuo was startled.

"This griffin shouldn't be so quick to eat the tree fruit, he should eat it when he arrives at the castle. Jasmine calmed down.

"When did your father leave?" asked Jasmine.

"About half an hour ago. The little eagle quickly thought about it and replied.

"Half an hour ago...... Maybe it's too late, let's get back to the castle. Xia Zuo quickly thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm...... Hopefully there's still time to stop 'him'......," Jasmine whispered.

"I'll go with you. The little Hippogriff also seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation.

"I'm faster. The little Hippogriff said.

"Good. Jasmine bowed, and then sat down on the back of the little fippancy, and Natsuzo followed.

But with the remaining seats not enough for Edith to sit.

Xia Zuo looked at Edith embarrassedly.

"It's okay brother, I still have the Black Lion Undead, but it's not much slower than you. Edith couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, let's go first. ”

In this way, Xia Zuo and Jasmine rushed to the castle first.

Edith was left alone and chuckled.

"I'm really in a hurry...... Elder brother. ”
