This is a badly injured griffon. For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit wèn. Wheezing breathlessly, its right wing broken, its lower right claw folded back, blood staining the sand, and messy feathers flying everywhere, the indomitable bird of prey still trying to get to its feet, though it was in more pain.

"Judging by the injuries, it was a sudden fall from a height. Luckily, it fell on the soft sand, otherwise it would have broken to pieces. Joyka took a cursory examination of the griffon's injuries and came to this conclusion. But at the same time, he was puzzled, the griffon is a very fast flying beast, what caused a griffon that was originally flying in the sky to suddenly fall? Joyka did not find any arrows on the griffin.

"It's pathetic. Big Brother Joyka, we must save it. Afraid that Joyka would not agree, Asari hurriedly took his hand.

The mountains of the Kingdom of Loma are the birthplace of the griffon, and since the founding of the country, the griffon has made countless contributions to the defense of this narrow country with few people and lack of food, and without the griffin, the kingdom of Loma has been destroyed at least ten times. Therefore, the griffin has a special symbolic status in the kingdom of Loma, and there is also a griffin pattern on the flag of the kingdom, and the hunting of griffins is not only strictly prohibited throughout the country, but also every citizen of the kingdom is obliged to do their best to rescue a wild griffin in distress. Born and raised in the land of the Loma Kingdom, Asari is no exception.

"Hehe, I remember griffin meat is hard to eat. Joika patted the back of Asari's hand and granted Asari's request with a joke that might put him in danger of killing his head in the country.

"Then I'll go find a carriage. Seeing Joyka crouch down to inspect the griffin's injuries further, Asali knew what she had to share, and turned away.

"Wait a minute. Joyka stopped abruptly, "I know this griffin, it's too much of a coincidence in the world. ”

Asari ran back to Joyka and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's not just acquaintance, I rode it two months ago. Joyka said, reaching out to ruffle the griffin's feathers, "See, it's not a wild griffin, it has an owner, and its owner is the king of a country. ”

"Huh?" said Asari crouched down.

From the griffin's front paws, Jojka found a bloodstained, finely made metal ring. Joyka untied the metal ring, and by the light of the moon, she could vaguely see that the metal ring was engraved with the image of a horse and a crown. "Yes, this is the coat of arms of the royal family of Poehler. ”

"Pole, is it the country far from us in the south?" asked Asari.

"It's not that far, it's just a Fayale Empire. Joyka laughed.

"Oh. ”

Of course, Ashalie didn't know that this was Joika's joke, for adventurers who have been wandering for a long time, they are naturally quite clear about the distance and proximity, but Asari has no such concept, she believes whatever Joika says.

By this time, the goal of Joyka's research had shifted from the griffin itself to the metal ring. Looking at the color with the naked eye, Joyka recognized that the material used to create the metal ring was an alloy made of aluminum and iron, which was not as hard as steel, but it was stretchable, bendable, and rusty. This alloy is very common, and what intrigued Joyka was the questionable weight of the metal ring, and if it was, there was no reason why it would be so light...... Joika rummaged through her research, and finally found a small fracture in the metal ring. Joyka bent hard at the fracture, and the metal ring stretched outward along the fracture, being pulled into a meniscus shape.

"Hey, it turned out to be hollow inside. Asari said.

"Asari, I'll lend you one of my earrings. ”

Hearing Joyka say this, Asari didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took off the earring on her right ear and handed it to Joyka. After receiving the hand, Joyka forcefully straightened the hook of the earring. Asali saw it in her eyes, but she was inevitably a little distressed in her heart. The earrings were bought by her last year, and although the pendant was the cheapest piece of jadeite, it also consumed most of her savings for half a year, and she never wore them because she only wanted one person to see how she looked in them, and she finally found them to put on herself tonight when Joey asked her out for a walk. However, although she felt distressed, seeing Joyka's serious appearance, Asari understood that her earrings might be of great help, and she was relieved when she thought of this, as long as she could help him, what was a mere earring?

Joyka pressed the hook of the earring into a straight needle with her strong fingers, and reached into the hollow of the metal ring, stirring it left and right a few times, and after a while, Asari saw him pull a small note out of the hollow.

"That's amazing, how do you know there's a piece of paper in there?" asked Asari curiously.

"A little bit of observation, a little bit of experience, and a little bit of feeling. Joy Kado.

He stretched out the note. By the faint moonlight, she saw two lines of fly-headed small words written on the note, because it was too dark for Asari to see what was written on the paper, but she knew that Joyka could see it, because she knew that Joyka had excellent eyesight, and had a pair of magical eyes that could see in the dark. However, after Joyka finished reading it, she silently raised her head and said nothing to Asali. Although she couldn't see Joyka's expression at this time, Asari felt that the atmosphere was beginning to change. "What the hell is going on? What is written on this paper?" asked Asari quickly.

"I don't know what's going on. Joyka shook her head, "But it will never be a good thing, and I must send this letter to my companion immediately." ”

"Companion?" said Asari, surprised. She had the impression that Joyka had always been a loner, and that she had never seen or heard of him in any company.

"Yes, they're in a fishing village 20 kilometres to the north. ”

They...... Asari noticed that Joyka's "companions" were plural. She almost burst out to say what she wanted, but she eventually suppressed her urge and didn't say it.

Seeing that Asari was about to speak and stopped, Joyka had already guessed her thoughts. "Let's go, introduce you to my companions. Joyka smiled and offered to invite.

"Aren't you afraid of my jealous seizures?" said Asari, joking as Joika. She intuitively sensed that Joyka's so-called "crush" might be among those "companions", and she wanted to see what kind of girl could tie up the heart of a prodigal son like Joyka.

"You're more curious. ”

Speaking of this, the two of them once again showed a knowing smile.

Meanwhile, by the sea in a small, nameless fishing village, 20 kilometers north of Pondelgon.

Under the moonlit sky, a silver-haired boy stood facing the vast sea. He had stood motionless for hours from dusk to now, and now when it was time for high tide, the water at the head of the wave had reached his calves.

"Owen. What are you doing?" a dozen meters behind her, a girl in a priest's robe couldn't help but shout.

Sophia had already noticed Owen's unusualness, and although she couldn't understand Owen's purpose of standing motionless on the beach, she couldn't bear to disturb him, but at this time, she had to warn him, otherwise in a while, the rising tide would drown Owen.

"It's not anything special, I'm just puzzled by a divination. Owen replied calmly.
