Chapter 512: Griffon Entrustment
"Griffin?griffon?" After reading the notice, Griffin quickly searched his memory for information about Griffin, that is, griffon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the monster encyclopedias passed down from generation to generation by demon hunters, griffons used to live only in mountains and forests, where they hunted herbivores such as marmots, goats, deer and horses. Later, however, the griffons soon discovered other, more numerous and easier prey: cattle, sheep, horses, and their owners, so that in a matter of years, these half-eagle, half-lion hybrids went from being extremely rare and rare species to being the number one scourge in the eyes of the northern farmers of the continent in which Gelot lived, and the most notorious of them were the royal griffin and the great griffon, which were far larger and more ferocious than the average griffin, causing unrest everywhere.
Although the main source of food for griffins is herbivores, especially horse-like animals, in fact, from rabbits to bison, regardless of size, as long as they can eat meat, even humans will inevitably become their hunger food, which is why they are the number one existence of the scourge of farmers in the north of the continent where Gelot lives, because once they attack, they can attack all the creatures that can walk on their legs in the area, in addition, although griffons can also hunt in complete darkness, they are more willing to hunt during the day, because only then will herbivores wander outside and soar more freely in the sun, which makes the vast plains, grasslands and mountains their favorite hunting grounds.
Griffins will not starve to death if their wings are unable to fly due to an accidental injury, because they are also good hunters on land: when hunting on land, the griffon is more like a lion, and will also sneak up like a lion before striking the throat of its prey, and will also lurk in the shadows and pounce on its prey, and if its wings are only slightly injured and can barely be used, it may also pounce on the prey from a high place, that is, use its wings to glide.
Although griffons can hunt for a wide variety of food to satisfy their hunger, they still have a peculiar attachment to horses - young griffons who have just come out of their nests and adults do not care if there are riders on horseback, nor do they care if there are people who take care of them, or whether there are swords and arrows that are coming at them...... Older griffons, on the other hand, are much more cautious, and will not hesitate to attack unguarded wild horses, and may give up when faced with a rider with the awareness and means to be prepared, unless it is due to hunger, stupidity, arrogance, or lack of experience in fighting heavily armed humans, otherwise no griffon will attempt to attack a human who has been guarded against it for a long time, just as a beast of prey will not attack other animals that have the ability to harm itself for food, because that would be a completely costless move for the beast.
In addition to their notoriety, griffins are creatures that have only one mate for life, and when their mate is attacked, they fight to the death for them – and for this reason, griffins are often considered a symbol of courage, loyalty, and war. When griffons are enraged, they will not rest until their opponents are torn to shreds.
In short, griffons use their extraordinary sense of smell to find their prey, and when they lock on to their target, they will flap their wings and fly high into the air, and then launch a dive on the prey, their strong bodies combined with rapid dives can usually kill the prey with a single blow, if the prey survives, the griffons will immediately launch a frantic attack after landing, their sharp beaks and sharp claws will leave very deep wounds on the prey and make them bleed, and the worst part is that this dangerous creature has no particularly obvious weaknesses- Therefore, in the northern part of the continent where Gelot was originally located, once a griffin appeared in an area and caused a scourge in all directions, the villagers could only hire witchers to hunt and kill, or send the most powerful and well-trained soldiers and knights in the local army to hunt and kill, and ordinary people had no effect on this kind of flying beast except to deliver food.
"There are griffons here...... It's a pity that you can't tell from the notice whether it's an ordinary griffin or a royal griffin or a big griffin, otherwise you can be more sure. After reviewing the information about the griffon in his memory, Gelllot was about to take the notice down, when he keenly sensed that the Burghall pikemen who had been warming the fire not far away had extinguished the bonfire and began to resume patrolling, while the leading Burghall pikemen approached him.
"Looks like you're really going to take the griffon's commission, Demon Hunter. The leading Boghall pikeman said as he approached Gallott, with a tone that was not surprised by this.
"Has no one taken this commission?" asked Gallott, tucking the griffon's commission into his pocket, "I spoke with a Teutonic Flag captain on the way here, and he said that your Guards Knights come here from time to time to take all sorts of commissions, is it true that no one has come to take this griffon's commission?"
"That's because you've arrived just in time, Demon Hunter, and this griffon commission was posted just yesterday, and these days the King's Guard has been on combat missions in the field and protecting the wagons that deliver supplies to the Teutonic camps, so this griffon commission has not been followed. The leading Boghall pikeman replied with a tilt of his head, his right hand resting his halberd on his right shoulder, and his left hand resting on the top of the handle of the one-handed mace hanging from his waist on the left side. In the past, if the village wanted to get rid of the threat of some demons and monsters, it could only rely on the Hakurei shrine in the Hakurei shrine, but now it is much better, and the guard knights of the Teutonic camp are enough to solve these troubles, and they will systematically remove all kinds of monsters, monsters and monsters in the wild almost every day, so now the wild in Gensokyo is not as dangerous as before, but there is still a great risk if you are alone, but as long as you are in a group of three or five, there will not be much of a problem. ”
"Well, it sounds like you Teutons take care of the civilians here. There was no expression on Galot's face when he replied, and even his tone and tone sounded quite rigid, making it difficult to tell what mood he was in right now, "May I ask who posted this notice?" I'm interested in this commission, but I need more information to find a way to solve it." ”
"Mori Kinrinnosuke, the owner of the Korindo, usually lives alone in the outer area of the Enchanted Forest, and it is rare to see him come to the village, and even if he comes, he is just to buy some daily necessities. The leading Boghall pikeman shrugged his shoulders, causing the shoulder armor on both sides to shake, "So if you want to know more details, go to Xianglin Hall in the Enchanted Forest to ask him - just walk out of the south gate of the village and go all the way west, and after a while you will see the Enchanted Forest, and Xianglin Hall is relatively obvious, you will definitely be able to find it." ”
"And what kind of man is this shopkeeper?" asked Gallott.
"It's a strange man.,Usually nowhere to be seen.,After appearing in the village, he rarely communicates with people except to buy some daily necessities.,And lives in the magic forest, a ghost place where ordinary people can't stand the air alone.,Who knows what kind of person he is.。 The leading Boghall pikeman yawned, but Galot didn't hear him due to the hampermail mask, "If you're really going to deal with the griffins in the commission, take care of yourself, it's really not the right thing to use against these monsters with the King's Guard in our Teutonic camp and His Majesty himself." ”
"Well, that's all you can know. Gelot nodded, and began to walk towards his horse, Roch, ready to mount and leave.
Just as Gallott was about to step on the saddle and onto Roche's horse, the leading Boghall pikeman stopped him, "Hey, Demon Hunter, how many rows of demon heads do you have on your horse?"
"Yes, I hunted it when I first came here. Gelot nodded heavily, "Isn't there no commission for the evil spirits here?, I'm going to find time to cut up the useful materials on them and wait for them to be used later, and then the corpses can be handed over to the farmers here to fertilize the fields or burn them clean...... Is there anything wrong with them?"
"Yes, no problem, but I want to reiterate that there are no commissions for evil ghosts here, so these evil ghost heads of yours can't be exchanged for bounties or anything like that. The leading Boghall pikemen replied to Gelot's question, but he continued, "But these commissions were issued by the human inhabitants of the village, and if you are going to exchange the heads of these evil spirits for some money...... Demon Hunter, you wait here for a while, I'll go and bring Teacher Huiyin to take a look, maybe she'll offer a good price, it's better than the current situation where she absolutely doesn't make any money at all. ”
"Huiyin-sensei?" asked Gallot curiously, though there was no curiosity on his face.
"The teachers in the temple house in our village usually teach the children in the village, and they will also protect the safety of the village, and she also decides many things in the village. The leading Boghall pikeman nodded solemnly, showing that Huiyin meant a lot to him, "Wait a moment, Demon Hunter." ”
"Okay. Gelot nodded, and after the leading Boghall pikeman walked away quickly, he led Lotch to a bench in the central square, where he sat down alone and began to meditate.
Meditation is a great way for demon hunters to keep their minds calm and quickly regain their mana, while also allowing them to concentrate more so that they don't get distracted during the battle.
As Gellott sat on the bench and meditated for a while, the sound of approaching footsteps and the trembling vibration of the wolf's head badge on his chest made him wake up quickly, and he broke away from his golden cat's eyes to look at the leading Boghall pikemen and a strange tall woman walking towards him.
"This is Teacher Huiyin, you can ask her if there is anything. The leading Boghall pikeman replied, pointing to the tall woman with long white hair beside him, and then left on his own, "I still have patrol duty on my side, so I can't stay here any longer." ”
"You're 'Huiyin-sensei'?" asked Galot, looking at the tall woman in front of him who was strangely dressed and had obvious body lines.
"Kamihakuzawa Huiyin, I'm the teacher of the temple house in the world, may I ask you?" Huiyin smiled and nodded, explaining her life and then asked about Gallott's identity.
"Gelott of Livia, I'm a demon hunter. Gelot replied, his left hand tightly pressing the wolf's head badge on his chest, which was trembling more and more, "With all due respect, you should be more than just a teacher in this town, right?"
"That's right, Demon Hunter Galot, in addition to teaching the children here, I'm also responsible for protecting the inhabitants from the elves and other non-human creatures outside. Listening to Gallott's question, which sounded something else, Huiyin just continued to smile and replied, as if she didn't understand the implicit meaning of Gallott's words.
“...... You're a sorceress?" Gallott was silent for a while and then asked, the wolf head badge on his chest could make the wolf head badge on his chest tremble at such a violent frequency, except for explaining that the young woman in front of him who called herself Kamihakuzawa Huiyin was a powerful sorceress, only the explanation that she belonged to a monster, but Gallott felt that Huiyin should belong to the former's situation: monsters that can have human form are often extremely powerful, and they are also very good at hiding, at least they will never let the demon hunter's badge produce corresponding induction fluctuations, such as werewolves and high-level vampires, before revealing their true colors, they look exactly like ordinary humans, even the most seasoned veteran demon hunters will have a hard time spotting them.
"I'm not a sorceress, or a mage or anything like that, Demon Hunter Gelot. Huiyin smiled and shook her head, and replied indifferently, "I'm a half-orc. (To be continued.) )
