Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Past of Man and Griffon
A sound between the roar of a lion and the chirping of an eagle echoed through the sky, echoing in the hollow valley, and countless animals fled when they heard it, and then hesitated and slowly turned around. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jin was a little surprised.
That sound was emitted by his old friend, a griffin named 'Yu', the griffin clan is slightly inferior to the dragon in all biological races, this clan is almost extinct, the last griffin represented by Yu lives on the highest peak of the Dafutu Mountain Range, they don't drink water, they eat the ice and snow on the mountain peak when they are thirsty, and go down the mountain to hunt when they are hungry, because they live in the ice and snow all year round, and the low temperature makes their bodies very clean, and they usually use their eagle-like beak to comb their feathers.
Jin met a magical creature when he was very young, and at that time he was not called Jin, Jin was a slave when he was a child, and he had no name.
If he hadn't met that creature, he would probably have been a slave for the rest of his life.
When the founding of the country, the ruler of Hongzhou explicitly forbade slavery, but this order was always violated, and in the dark ravines, I don't know how many women, children, and even men were sold, abducted, or used to beg, or sold to brothels, or became subordinates, and the current people are considered to be a better end for these people - if they can meet a conscientious master.
Hongzhou is a generation of masters, under his leadership, Hongzhou is thriving, but even if the sun is bright, there will always be some dark corners that the sun can't shine on.
Jin thought he would never see the sun rise in his life, until he saw the mighty bird that day.
The mighty bird shone all over, its feathers had a little noble gold at the end, its head was surrounded by holy white feathers, and in addition to its wings, which were almost five times as wide as its body, it had four strong legs, and its eyes shimmered with golden flames.
As a child, Jin felt like she saw angels.
An angel with folded wings.
Yes, at that time, the griffon's wings were seriously injured, and a silver-white arrow was nailed to its muscles, and Jin didn't know it at that time, it was a nail arrow specially used by humans to capture this creature, and the silver color represented the highest level of nail arrows, which required humans above the level of 80 extinction to launch.
At that time, Jin as a small slave helped the master's family go to the mine in the mountains to dig coal, and was on the way back to meet this griffin, because of the physical stunt, so he was the slowest of the group of coal digging slaves, and it was precisely because he was slow that he was so lucky to meet it, and even more fortunately, he chose the former between the two options of being killed by his master to save the griffin and honestly returning to the master's house.
He threw down the coal he had worked so hard to dig and ran desperately to the griffon, pulling out the arrow with all his might.
The griffin looked at him like he was looking at a stupid and cute little monster.
The silver nail arrow is not something that ordinary people can pull out, if the person who pulls it out does not cultivate, it means that this person is a genius.
A genius of no kind.
The griffin quickly regained its strength after the nail arrow was detached, gently rubbed his beak next to his cheek, then stuck out its tongue and licked him, and quickly ran away, it was running for its life.
Jin was beaten up because she came home late that day, and then she didn't have dinner.
It was like this for several days, and he was dying of hunger.
The master will not pity such a slave, because if one dies of starvation, there will always be the next.
He fainted from hunger at home in that place dirtier than a rat's nest, unconscious, and he knew that his life was probably going to end like this, and before he passed out, he swore viciously that if he had the strength, he would kill them all.
Who? Of course, the people who abducted him!
But he didn't starve to death in the end, and when he woke up again, the first thing he felt was warmth.
It's like lying in a pile of down, so soft, so comfortable, he wonders if it's the big cotton bed in the master's house? Will the owner be so kind?
Of course not, when he came to his senses, he found himself lying on the belly of a huge bird, wrapped in its feathers. The tip of the tail of the feather has a hint of gold.
He was in a cave, not deep, and he could see outside, and the blizzard outside kept coming in and howling, but it wasn't cold at all.
Then came out of the cave some of the big birds, the griffons, which were several sizes smaller, and their feathers were not yet fully opened.
The little griffons looked at him like food.
He was scared.
But the great griffon woke up and roared, and the little things didn't dare look at him like that.
Only then did he realize that this was the mighty bird that he had saved. It still remembers itself, and it has come to repay the favor.
Then he suddenly felt something fishy, it was the smell of blood, it was in his throat, it was probably the most delicious taste he had ever felt, he had been hungry for a long time, maybe it was the big bird that saved itself with blood, he thought at the time.
The griffin was wise, it was afraid that Jin would be cold, so he actually plucked thousands of his own feathers for him, and as a slave, Jin could weave clothes, so he used some snow vines to string those feathers and weave them into a piece of clothing to barely keep out the cold.
However, his legend has only just begun from this moment.
He guessed that the griffin had wisdom, but he didn't expect its wisdom to be so high, it would not only prey, not only human nature, but also teach people to read and write, to be precise, the griffin came down the mountain and brought back a lot of books about cultivation for him, recording the information of human wisdom, God knows how it did it, maybe it rushed to other people's homes to rob? What's even more bizarre is that in order to teach him to read, the griffin also caught a living person from the bottom of the mountain.......
And Jin is a genius, a peerless genius, if there are no resources, he will not be able to achieve anything in his life, but once he has resources, then his talent will explode like a flood and be unstoppable.
There are countless resources on the snow peak, snow lotus, snow vines, and the most exaggerated one time the griffin brought back a two-foot-long snow ginseng for him, and he ate the snow ginseng for half a year before he finished eating.
Ten years had passed, and he had not wanted to leave the place, but the griffin had told him to leave, and it took him a great deal of effort to make clear what it meant that day, scratching it with its claws and waving its wings.
This griffin has been raising him like a child for so many years, in fact, he hopes that he can become the high-level of the Hongzhou Kingdom, and then find a way to protect the griffin race so that humans will not hunt them again. In order to make this clear meaning, the griffin jumped up and down, and if it could scratch its head, it would probably have to scratch its ears and cheeks, anyway, in the end, Jin understood, and agreed without hesitation.
He later became famous at a very fast speed, becoming a well-known and meteor-flashing young genius in Hongzhou Kingdom, which attracted the attention of Hongzhou Zhiguo, and finally he defeated layers of competitors and became the closed disciple of Hongzhou Zhiguo.
On that day, he said a word to the master very bluntly.
"Master, I want to kill someone."
Hearing this request, Hongzhou Zhiguo was very calm.
"Who do you want to kill?"
With a blank face, he said, "All the human traffickers in this country. ”
"Including everyone who 'buys' and 'sells' the population....... Not a single one is left. He added.
For the first time, Hongzhou looked at his eyes very seriously, and from those pair of ice blue eyes, he didn't see hatred.
He was calm, as if he thought it was a normal thing to say such cruel things.
The reason is very simple, in the legal provisions of Hongzhou country, human trafficking is a capital offense, but the person who buys it will not face this punishment.
"Why?" Hongzhou Zhiguo asked.
"Where there is a market, there will be killing." He replied more calmly, "If you want to truly cut off an industrial chain, you must eliminate it together with the market." ”
His calm words decided the life and death of millions of people in Hongzhou Country, and it was also doomed to the complete severance of a black transaction chain.
Because he persuaded Hongzhou to make the last decision.
"This black chain has lasted too long, since you brought it up...... So, you go...... Let it break. ”
The killing lasted five years, and it took Jin five years to kill all the human traffickers who could be found in the country, as well as all the people who bought and sold people, and all the people who were reduced to slavery were freed.
The fear of blood frightened the whole country, and since then, the black chain of the slave trade has been completely cut off, and the country has completely moved out of slavery and into civilization, where people hated Jin's cruelty and regarded him as a beast. It was only after decades that people realized how much Jin had contributed to the country, and Jin became a national hero, and he took advantage of his reputation as a national hero to propose an animal protection law that prohibits humans from hunting higher animals that are no less intelligent than humans.
This proposal caused a lot of controversy, but his popularity and the consent of the Hongzhou ruling state suppressed all opposition, and from that day on, the killing of higher animals by humans in the territory of Hongzhou would be considered a capital crime.
The story of Jin and Yu begins at this moment, when the griffon, in gratitude to him, gave him one of its children, Yu, who is by his side today.
Thirty years have passed, Yu has grown up, entered his youth, and become a generation of fierce beasts.
Jin would go back every year to see the old griffin, and to him, it was a fatherly existence.
Yu silently walked up to him and rubbed his face with her beak.
This represents closeness, but it is actually a code word between Jin and Yu, who is asking him if he can go out to hunt for food.
Yu hadn't slept for half a night, and his stomach was already very hungry, and now on the edge of the Polar Night region, countless creatures had gathered here, and it naturally couldn't help it when it saw so much food.
Jin nodded, and then said, "Eat less, eating too much is easy to gain weight." ”
Yu pecked the back of his hand with her beak, causing him to grin for a while.
"Giggles...... Yu let out Ding Ling's sneering laughter, mocking Jin mercilessly.
This big stupid bird.
Jin looked at his hand, which was pecked a little red and a little painful.
Yu flew away, spotting a straggler of a buffalo and snatching it into the air.
Jin no longer looked at it, but looked worriedly at the valley ahead, which was now stopped in the Polar Night region.
Hongzhou Zhiguo and Yan had already entered, and he was left outside, waiting for Mr. Long and his party to arrive, according to the words of the ruling country, Mr. Long and the ruling country had reached an agreement, they would come later.
Why don't you let the bad guy stay, just kill that stinky temper, in case you provoke Mr. Long and the hero ruling the country and be slapped to death, it's not good.
The valley was so dark that the morning light was already shining outside the valley.
The valley stopped at the Polar Night Zone.
The most dangerous place.
