Chapter 45: Father and Son Say Goodbye

Hansen was just a low-level ranger from Black Rock Village, his knowledge was not outstanding, and he didn't know much about magicians, but he also knew that an enemy of this level was not something that a level 3 magician could deal with alone.

Griffith smiled and didn't explain. Anyway, making Hansen unable to figure out his hole cards is also a way to be a royal one.

When the three of them and one bear worked together to move Wulong's corpse outside, Silver Frost couldn't help but drool a lot.

"Go, look around, and get me back all the kobolds who slipped through the net. Griffith touched Silverfrost's head and ordered. "The more kobolds you catch, the more meat you can eat at night. ”

At this time, the white dragon was already the size of a wolf, and its strong wings could support a short flight, and Griffith was not worried about its danger - since the kobold tribe had settled here, there should be no other intelligent races nearby, and a few scattered kobolds were not a problem. As for the beasts, even if they encounter a bear, Silver Frost can't beat them and can escape with their flying ability.

The wurm's skin was carefully peeled off by Hansen, and it was the most valuable part of the whole wurm. Most of the wurm's meat was roasted into jerky for fear of spoilage. That night, Griffith and the others had a delicious dragon meat feast, and even Hansen's animal companion was given half a dragon leg.

The next day, Griffith woke up to find the sleeping white dragon in the tent unable to wake up no matter how much he screamed.

"Brother Griffith, what's wrong with Silverfrost?" asked Lily nervously.

"It's supposed to be dormant. Griffith was also surprised. Wild baby dragons do not go into dormancy for the first time until about two or three years after hatching, perhaps because they have eaten wurm meat, so much earlier at once. "Wait, the first hibernation of the young dragon will not take long, and it will usually wake up in two or three days. ”

In the next few days, Griffith and the others were not idle. Hansen and his animal companions scouted the area, not only confirming that there were no kobolds who had slipped through the net, but also having an extra map of the area.

Lily, under the watchful eye of Griffith, hunted several wolves and wild boars with crossbows and magic missiles, and finally accumulated a little combat experience.

On the third day, Silver Frost finally woke up.

Compared with before hibernation, the white dragon's body has lost a circle of weight and looks more slender. The horns, which were short and soft, began to bend and harden.

The current silver frost can no longer be called a baby dragon, but a young dragon.

After an unexpected delay of three days, when Griffith returned to Hydra Village, his father, the former Baron Stone, had already waited a little impatiently with his third brother Fidel.

"If you don't come back, we'll say goodbye. Stone said reproachfully.

"Father, I'm sorry. Griffith beckoned to the white dragon that was making a fuss in the air. "Silverfrost is dormant, and I can only hold on. ”

As a warrior, Stone didn't know much about the dragon's growth cycle, and after listening to Griffith's explanation, he didn't realize the unusual thing at all, but Fidel, who was a druid, suddenly lit up his eyes.

"Fidel, you're in luck. At Griffith's motion, Hansen took the package off the brown bear's back and handed it to Fidel. "This wurm skin, just as I give you a gift. ”

Father and son had come to Hydra to set off for the Levant, and if nothing else, Fidel would have obtained an animal companion with the blood of the god of lions in that distant land.

Wurm's skin is an excellent material for making leather armor, not only is it as protective as the highest-end steel armor, but it is also lightweight, and if the craftsmanship of the armor is enough, it can also retain a certain amount of magic resistance. For the druids, though, the skins of powerful creatures had a much more significance.

The fur of powerful creatures, when treated with arcane techniques, can give druids the ability to transform.

"Brother Griffith, you're so nice. Fidel's eyes were red, and he held the dragonskin's hands, and he only felt that the gift was heavy.

"Father, and these wurm roasted jerky, take them with you on the road and eat them. Considering that his men also needed this highly nutritious food, Griffith kept half of it himself.

"Good. Stone patted Griffith on the shoulder with satisfaction, "It's good that you can kill the wurm." It seems that I was a little worried about the lack of defense in Hydra Village. ”

"How's the Marquis's health?" Silverfrost sent to play with Fidel, and Griffith turned the conversation back to his concern.

"It's almost good, and it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for another two or three years. Stone handed over the title to his eldest son Andrew, and after participating in the raid on Gray Island, he wanted to take Fidel to the Levant immediately, but he didn't expect the Marquis of Griffin's illness to suddenly worsen, and he sent someone to call Stone to Griffon's Heart. In this case, it is naturally impossible for Stone to leave and delay until now.

"Sherif himself came, with a bottle of potion prepared by Master Sisko himself, and after the baron drank it, he was able to get out of bed immediately. Stone added.

"Sir Sherriff's uncle?" said Griffith, the name for the first time. The name Sisko Griffith is very familiar, a level 9 mage of the Sorcery Alliance, and the best potion master in the entire Kingdom of Brittany.

"That's him. The expression on Stone's face was a little complicated, "If you can invite Master Sisko, it seems that Sherif has also gained a firm foothold in the Spell Alliance." ”

The Sorcery Alliance is the most determined royal party, and has never been willing to see local powerhouses like the Marquis of Griffin. Sisko's willingness to make a potion for Marquis Griffin is really worth pondering.

Was this Sisko's personal behavior, or was it the attitude of the Sorcery Alliance?

The Baratheon family is certainly powerful in the Kingdom of Brittany, but compared to the Sorcery Alliance, it is more than a step behind.

"I can't call Sir Philip anymore, I heard that the envoy of the royal capital has set off, and Philip will soon be the real Earl of Grey Island. Stone's tone was a bit sentimental, no one was optimistic about the eldest son of the Griffin family in the past. "If you get an invitation, you can go to Gray Island on my behalf, and Andrew. ”

"Then what am I going to do when I get to Gray Island? Keep your distance?" Andrew's succession ceremony was presided over by Philip, and politely should have given Philip a face. Since Andrew doesn't go to Gray Island, Griffith naturally thinks that his father doesn't want to get too close to Philip.

"You're mistaken. Stone shook his head, "Andrew really can't go." The Marquis has decided to enlist Andrew as the captain of the guard, and he is probably now on his way to Griffonheart. ”

It seems that the struggle on the other side of Griffon's Heart is fierce. Griffith thought. Although Andrew is already a level 5 warrior and can be called young and promising, he is too tender for the key position of captain of the guard.

But for the Carolingians, this is undoubtedly great news.

"If you can, try to get on good terms with Philip. You are a mage, so you can catch Sherif and join the Sorcery Alliance in the future. ”

"Doesn't that affect the Carolingian family's position?" Griffith hesitated.

"It's okay. Stone smiled, "You are a little knight, and your territory is only Hydra Village, how much influence can you have." With me and Andrew here, even if Philip fails in the future, David won't be too difficult for you. It's a big deal that you give up Hydra Village and go to work in the Sorcery League in the royal capital, Sharif will never fall. ”

Griffith was really speechless about Stone's calculations. He has put so much effort into Hydra Village, but he doesn't want to be empty. Going to the royal capital to send people under the fence did not attract Griffith in the slightest.

"Father, do you fancy Philip?" asked Griffith solemnly.

"It's not that I'm optimistic, but the Marquis's mind has changed. "After spending two months in Griffon's Heart, Stone seems to have figured out Marquis Griffin's thoughts.
