As more and more griffons watched, Xiao Yan and the others walked along the passage left for the slaves on the ground to walk towards the highest and most central position in the city-state. It was home to the Supreme Council of the Griffon City-State, and it was also a huge gladiatorial arena. If the verbal dispute cannot be passed, you can immediately enter the gladiatorial fight, and the truth is only in the hands of the victor, this is the rule of the griffons.

Xiao Yan and his party finally stood in front of a huge bronze gate that looked almost heavenly. On the shoulders of this stone gate, there are two passages that are much smaller, but no less large for humans, through which the griffons enter and exit the council--gladiatorial arena on the top of the mountain. The slaves, on the other hand, had to enter and exit through a small passage to the right of the huge stone gate, which had to be entered by groveling. There is no other option.

At least a thousand feet tall, the massive bronze door looks more like a cliff than a door separating the inside and outside. It's just that the surface of this "cliff" is much smoother, and even smooth enough that people can face the surface to tidy up their clothes. This also meant that it was very difficult to climb up from the gate and enter the Colosseum through the griffins' passages. The griffons' passage was at least seven hundred feet above the ground, and it was almost impossible for even a Level 6 Awakened to enter it, let alone Xiao Yan still holding a child.

This gate reminded Xiao Yan of the ruins of the beginning, and even the original Speyer Abbey. Those were once the ships of the Elven Empire, and if you look at those spaceships that look like hills, you can imagine the strength of the Elven Empire at the beginning. And now. After seeing this gate of the griffon city-state. For the great strength that the griffons once had. Xiao Yan also had a general understanding.

"What's that?"

Sylvia asked, pointing to the other side of the door, where there seemed to be some strange writing.

At the same time, a dull voice responded: "Gate of Legends, that's the text of our griffon." ”

Xiao Yan turned his head and saw that the griffon with a deep scar on his face yesterday had flown over, he hovered in the air, looked at the humans on the ground and said, "I want to open this door." Only legends. ”

Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and asked, "If I open this door, what good will it be?" ”

The griffin looked at Xiao Yan with disdain, and did not answer, but there was no need for the griffin to answer, whether he could get the benefit or not, Xiao Yan would not let himself pass through that dangerous low passage. Once that kind of passage is blocked, the consequences are unimaginable. The Young Awoken strode over to the massive bronze door, then placed one hand on it.

"If I pass through this gate, it doesn't mean I'm a legend."

Xiao Yan said. He put his left hand up as well, exerting force with both arms. He looked so small, and he looked so self-defeating. So much so that even the griffons who watched couldn't help but let out an unbridled laugh, not only the male griffons that flew lower, but even the taller female griffons had a laugh like the strings of the piano were fluctuating. It's a nice laugh, but when it gets loud and numerous, it can also become a cacophony of noise.

A few seconds later, with a slight "creak" of the door, all laughter stopped as if it had been cut by a knife. Almost all of the griffons widened their eyes as the door, which had not been opened for hundreds of years, was once again thrust open in the hands of a human.

How powerful is the force? Unbeatable skill? It doesn't seem to be either, those two bronze gates seemed to have been opened by themselves without much effort at all, under the impetus of Xiao Yan. The sight of this kind of griffons shocked them far beyond their imagination, and for hundreds of years, a non-legendary human opened a door that they thought would never be reopened.

"The humans who last opened this door signed a contract with us to serve 30 griffons a year for the Holy Roman Empire, and 30 for the next year. The Holy Roman Emperor has 60 griffons all year round. ”

A female griffon, standing at the top of the arena, overlooking everything, suddenly whispered to several fierce-looking griffons beside her, "This is neither shame nor pride, just a normal exchange. We have more opportunities to get out of here, and humanity has learned to recognize our existence. ”

After a pause, the male griffin who was high above continued, "Now, another human has pushed open the door. ”

"What will he bring to us? Disaster? Trade? Indenture? ”

"Or is it news from the Ark?"

A male griffon, flying to the right of this female griffon, exclaimed, "He will not bring any news of the Ark, I firmly believe it." He just wanted to take more griffons and that's it. ”

The female griffin smiled and said, "What's so bad about that?" If he really had that ability, taking more griffons away might not be a bad thing for the city-state. ”

The other griffons did not speak, as if the doors of the Colosseum had reopened after hundreds of years, and the shock to them had not yet been erased.

When the door in front of him was fully opened, Xiao Yan had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in front of him. In front of his eyes was a Colosseum that had been magnified dozens of times or even larger. The face of this Colosseum is south and north, and in the north, that is, in the direction that Xiao Yan entered, there are rows of tall audience seats, each of these audience seats has more than ten square meters, and the more you go up, the fewer the audience seats. Until the very top, on a huge platform, a female griffin stands vertically. Sensing Xiao Yan turn his head to look over, the griffin also lowered his head, and seemed to nod slightly at the young awakened one.

Xiao Yan always thought that the general level of griffins was around level 6, and the existence at the top might only be level 8. However, it wasn't until now that he saw the female griffin standing above all the griffons that Xiao Yan realized that the griffon's strength was underestimated by him.

The griffin that was high above was so dazzling that Xiao Yan didn't even dare to look at it. Such a brilliant brilliance can only be seen in those beings who are about to enter the legend, even if it is a pseudo-legend, it cannot bloom such a transparent and magnificent light.

In other words, the female griffin that Xiao Yan saw had one foot already entered the legend.

"That's your Speaker?"

Xiao Yan turned his head to ask the male griffin behind him, whose face had become much more solemn, this griffin with a scar on his face had obviously become much more respectful after seeing Xiao Yan really push the door of legend open. He didn't even dare to fly above Xiao Yan's head, or fly in front of Xiao Yan. Hearing the young awakened question, the griffon immediately replied, "No, she's not, she's the mother of all the speakers?" ”

"The mother of all the speakers?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then realized something, he asked, "High Priest?" ”

In some matrilineal clan communities, the high priest does not hold the power of the tribe, but the head of the tribe must consider the high priest as his mother. Or, in such a community, a female high priest, nominally the mother of all the people.

The male griffin did not have a wealth of Germanic words, let alone such a phrase as high priest. Therefore, he could not understand Xiao Yan's question. In response, the male griffin could only bow his head slightly, and then turned to fly to the stands. Xiao Yan could see that this griffin, who was at the top of level 6, was a little above the middle in the stand. If you think of the grandstand as a giant face, the griffons' passage is the two eyes of this face, and this gate is stuck between the two eyes, leading to the ground, like the peculiar flat, narrow nose of the griffons.

The griffon, with the scar on its face, was now on the side of the right eye of the face, overlooking the griffin's every move in the griffon's passage. Above the side of the left eye of this face, a female griffin is already perched on it, also staring at the changes in the left passage. The female griffons passed through the passage on the left, and the male griffons passed through the passage on the right, and after about ten minutes, the whole stand looked like it was full of griffins.

At this point, the female griffon, who was at the highest point, turned her head and asked the male griffin to her right, "Darman, are the griffons ready?" ”

The griffin uses standard Latin instead of the griffon's own language, much to Xiao Yan's surprise. In addition, it is surprising that these griffons are not only fluent in Latin, but also Germanic as well. Languages can't fall from the sky, and who are the griffons' teachers to master them? Maybe it's the human slaves, and if so, why would the griffons think of learning the language of the slaves? Will the winner go and learn the language of the loser?

Xiao Yan shook his head, and at this time, the griffin named Darman had already responded: "Yes, respected mother, you are all ready. ”

The theoretical mother of all the griffons nodded, and then asked, "So, have you made a decision?" ”

"Yes, Mother, we agreed to this challenge, and we agreed that there were no restrictions on such a fight, and that each combatant could make his or her own demands, not just to be a slave or not."

The female griffin seemed a little surprised, and after a moment asked, "There are no restrictions?" Even if this human wants 50 griffins, that's okay? ”

"Yes, Mother, even if he takes this city-state for himself, we have no objection. The premise is that he can do it. ”

Hearing this, the female griffin nodded again, then looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Have you heard our conversation already?" Human, are you able to understand our conversation? ”

"Yes, I can."

"So, the challenge begins." (To be continued......)
