Chapter Eighty-Eight: To the End
The afternoon rays, like beating elves, weave a golden net and take in the beautiful scenery of the whole world.
It is worth mentioning that although Arthur's expression was as lazy as a sleepy-eyed lion at this time, the huge flying creature still turned its head sideways and barked at him several times.
If you look closely, its coat color is very evenly distributed, and on its body, which is not covered by iron armor, the golden down feathers are like golden petals taken from the heavenly realm, and they stretch out little by little, exuding a pure and soft light, and at first glance, it seems to set off a beautiful wave.
As for its sharp claws, which were deep enough to sink deep into the ground, they flashed with a cold light similar to a sword, and the red wings curled up on the sides of its torso seemed to obscure the entire sky like a giant cloak at any moment.
Arthur stepped forward with some excitement, and Essue Yan followed closely.
However, in the next second, he noticed something unusual.
Two-thirds of the griffin's head was covered by protective gear, and all but the black beak seemed to have been hit.
The swords and arrows slashed abruptly and conspicuously in many parts of the armor, some of which had even seeped into the flesh inside.
"Before you arrived, its original owner and passenger was an extremely formidable warrior. โ
Arthur slowly approached Essusyan's side, his voice seemed a little low and hoarse.
It's just that he made great achievements in the past, but he could not escape the unfortunate fate of his untimely death. โ
Ai Suyan turned his head, and in the pupils of the water and sky, it seemed that a certain magnificent moment of greatness was reflected.
His name is Wei Hui, and fifteen years ago he became the new favorite of the Imperial Griffin Knights by defeating the young and vigorous Bill in a duel and winning the championship for the second consecutive year. โ
"Most importantly, this once wild and untamable golden griffin was captured and successfully mastered by himself in the cracks of the Valiant Mountains. โ
Because of this, whenever he appeared in front of people, his heroic and descriptive words would flood like pieces of paper. โ
However, in the midst of an irritating Southern rebellion, he was caught in a deadly siege by countless bandits. โ
In the midst of this battle, he and his griffin were wounded, but in his hands came the filthy head of the leader of the bandits. โ
"The mottled traces you see come from that thrilling battle. Arthur said, "But three years ago, he died of a heart attack, and it is said that the only regret is not to see the perfidious Silverwing Kingdom pay the price." โ
"Time has passed, and this ownerless griffon, which we have retained, is about to become your carrier for the Empire. โ
With that, he waved his hand, his green eyes flashing with a light that could be easily understood, and then he handed a map to the prince's hand.
"When you get lost, I hope you will read it in time. He said.
Essusan took a deep breath, then reached out and stroked the griffon's forehead.
But the moment he came into contact, he finally understood.
The griffon, in fact, had been looking forward to this day for a long time: an exciting day to spread its wings and soar into the sky once again...
He then leapt onto the griffin's back, then grasped the reins firmly.
"Are you still adapting? young man. Arthur said in a deep voice again, "On the shores of Lake Falling Star there is a dry well in disrepair, and the road inside leads to the secret chamber that seals the Prophecy Stone, where your blood will be an important element in unlocking that blood-red forbidden spell. โ
"Well, farewell, my friend. He yawned slightly, and then saw the griffin at Aisuyan's feet suddenly vibrate its wings, and then fly again and again to a long-lost altitude of 10,000 meters.
At the same time, Arthur hurriedly covered his eyes with his palms, and the power of the moment when the griffin took off spread in an instant, causing the surrounding dust to rush to his face like gravel.
"The floor of the courtyard is so unclean, and the staffing has been quite problematic lately. He said with some disappointment.
After a while, the air of Essusyan had quickly become familiar with the griffon's operation, and as soon as he calmly lifted the reins, his whole body became as light as if he had drunk the spring of life.
The surroundings can be described as cloudy, and although the griffin's back is extremely stable, it still gives the impression of being "too high".
It is worth mentioning that when you look down from here, your field of vision will become extremely wide, and at the same time, you can see the magnificent mountains and rivers of the entire Holy Wing Empire.
He continued to fly forward, but suddenly a gray mountain range appeared in front of him, winding like a long snake. ยด
Shrouded in a gray mist, it brought a hazy and incomprehensible psychological feeling to Ai Suyan.
"Why did this mountain range split in two?" before his eyes, the gray mountains branched off in an extremely unexpected place, while each stretching out into the farther horizon.
Curious about all this, Essusyan controlled the griffon to stay in mid-air, and then looked sideways down.
Master mentioned that such divergent mountain terrain is extremely rare, and there is only one in the territory of the Holy Wing Empire, the "Gray Mountain Range" in the southwest...
In addition, it seems to be uninhabited, but it seems to hide some kind of different scenery.
By the way, the Kingdom of the Silver Wing is located in the north of the Holy Wing, so, here... Ah, apparently I've gone against my destination... He shook his head regretfully, opened the map and flipped through it for a while, then turned around and flew north again.
Meanwhile, beneath the cloud he had just flown away, the Guardian of Eagle Valley was staring at the sky with concern, and beside him, Hayes Grey Valley stood calmly and calmly.
"Just now, in that place, at least a thousand meters in the air. The Cloud Hunter stretched out his hand to the sky: "There is actually a griffon... What an uplifting omen..."
"Isn't this the precious mount of the Royal Knights... At that moment, I thought they had come to ask for our help on the pretext of a war on the front line..."Hayes's gray-brown eyes shone with a hint of hope, but in the blink of an eye, they were overshadowed by the anxiety that came from the noise of the world.
"However, it is said that the death of General Tuyarav at the front line is almost out of the fire... Also, your father has been lost for a while. What do you think, honorable lord?" he bowed slightly, as if waiting for some kind of decision.
"Father, maybe he rested early because he was too tired..."A dark cloud flashed in Hayes's eyes, "There are also some valley mages who believe that the arrival of the Golden-tailed Comet will once again fulfill the time of calamity that has been everywhere in history. โ
"As for the griffon knight who just gave us a moment of anticipation. Hayes said meaningfully: "Perhaps, he is not necessarily the embodiment of honor." โ
Then, looking at the Lord of Grey Valley, who was trying his best to predict everything, the Cloud Hunter nodded slightly, and then turned away from the top of the tower...
In about an afternoon, the Imperial griffon, as swift as golden lightning, had once again flown to a place of great importance to the prince.
The black walls of the former Guardian Kingdom are truly breathtaking... Essusian looked down at everything beneath his feet: the Barrier City... After this, it's the realm of the Silver Wing.
He lifted the reins, maneuvered the griffon to a height like no other, and opened the map in his hand with ease.
The content is very detailed... The mark of the "Royal Library" is also written on the edge... Ai Suyan pondered: crossing the "Aid Heights" to the north, then passing through the "Fairy Plains" to the west, and finally flying south over the "Tianzhu Mountains", the legendary Falling Star Lake will be unmistakably revealed before his eyes...
So he manipulated the griffin and went down the established route again.
However, night had already crept down at this moment, and under the stars, Essusan and his griffons were like intimate travelers traveling together.
The verdant green mountains in front of him, after passing around its waist, a sparkling lake reflecting the countless stars in the sky were exposed to the prince's eyes like a fairy's dressing mirror.
And all the villages around it had begun to sleep quietly, and for a moment there was a dead silence but no sadness.
Gradually, Ai Suyan, who was slowly descending, finally approached the end of the journey step by step, and the cries of adventure in his heart beat like a raging and enthusiastic tide to his heart.
There is also a quiet woodland around... Ai Suyan glanced sideways at his surroundings, and then, the moment he landed, he left the griffon's back.
Then, at his gesture, the griffin quietly flapped its wings and disappeared into the forest, and after a while on foot, he finally made a natural discovery.
This dry well in front of you... He scratched his head: is that the entrance to the passage arranged by Arthur?
He approached the mouth of the well he had just discovered, but he was unconsciously deceived by the bottomless darkness.
