Lamp God II finally came into play, using teleportation to tell the history of the Griffin family in Siegel's ear. This is a family with the highest title of Marquis, and the main family is known for its ability to tame griffin war beasts and provide air power for the royal family of the Star Kingdom. The blood of the bird druids has always flowed in the blood of their family members, and each generation will produce three or five good seedlings that can communicate with nature, so as to ensure that they will always have a way to continue to cultivate griffins.

While he wasn't the only family capable of providing air combat troops, the Griffins were entangled in the history of the Starry Kingdom and made a name for themselves in war after war. According to the information in Siegel's possession, it was none other than a young battlefield baron of the Griffin family, a teenager who was not yet twenty years old. But what appeared in front of him was a hunched old man, with a wrinkled face and lost teeth, and he came to the center of the hall with the support of two young maids.

The young man behind him held the family's flag badge and looked around tremblingly. This is a child who has not even grown freckles, has few muscles on his body, and cannot be a contestant. What are the Griffins still going to do?

"Honorable Lord Siegel, Lord of the Stars, and Archmage, I am Hart Griffin of Frostleaf City, and I bring his sincerest greetings on behalf of Lord Marquis. The old man's body trembled, but he could speak with a lot of energy.

Siegel nodded back—Hart Griffin only had a baronial in his body, and that was enough. "May the Griffin family soar forever and good health. ”

It just so happened that the band changed tunes and began to play the "Song of Victory" that can often be heard in the Kingdom of Stars. There are many versions of this piece of music with lyrics. One of them has to do with griffins.

"Why didn't you see the young man who came to the tournament this time? I heard that he was honing his skills on the battlefield to clear out bandits and robbers. And it has also achieved good results in many competitions. Dengshen 2 immediately checked the information at hand. Then tell the information to Siegel. "Witt Griffin, if I'm not mistaken. ”

"You are truly well-informed, Lord Lord, Your Excellency the Archmage. Werther was a proud boy - not that he was rude, but wanted to be at his best until the tournament. He told me that he wanted to be recognized by the lord at a glance. ”

"He's a very ambitious guy and I'm looking forward to his performance. Siegel said to the old man, "Be sure to taste shark fin soup, the essence of the shark." I finally got a chef from Waterdeep. ”

The credit belonged to Janet, but Siegel "brazenly" took it and used it directly. I thought the old man would politely express his gratitude. Then go and taste the food and let Siegel go, but I didn't expect him to continue.

"Count Siegel, I have come to discuss with you on an important matter. It's so hard to see you in person, so I can only say it on this occasion. ”

"Say it, please. Siegel smiled and nodded.

"Please marry the eldest daughter of Haussmann Griffin, heir to the Marquis of our family. ”

Siegel's smile disappeared from his face, and he said to the old man, "I'm afraid you're mistaken, I'm already married and have my own wife. ”

"Yes. Your marriage is well known and took place in public shortly after you became a lord. I also know that you also have a healthy and lively boy. The old man's voice was unhurried, and there were already many knights waiting to be met behind him, so the crowd became dense.

"Then something unfortunate happened. Countess Janet dies of an unexpected illness and you are single again. We at the Griffin family want nothing more than to be related to you. The eldest daughter of the marquis and the earl are in the same household. And the Heim Realm already has an heir, Isaac Squid, if I'm not mistaken. Therefore, our sincerity is very full, and I hope that adults will accept it. ”

"I've never heard of anything like that. Siegel snorted, then shook his head: "Janet is by my side, but you want to introduce me to the marriage, it's really strange in the world! I suggest you try the wine of Heim Collar and clear your mind before you decide what to do. ”

"I'm not an old fool - if that's what you mean. The former countess is not what she is now, this is a well-known thing and well documented. It's up to you to marry whomever you want, but as the Count of the Starry Kingdom, you need a woman of equal status as your wife, otherwise it will be considered invalid. It was an iron law that lasted for thousands of years that the head of a noble family above the viscount and above who was loyal to the royal family could not marry a woman of commoner origin. So, your marriage to the woman you are now ......"

"That's enough!" Siegel shouted, interrupting the old man's chatter, "You say so much, and you make too many mistakes, I don't want to listen to it anymore." I did not want to marry the eldest daughter of the heiress of the Griffins, and although I had not met her and had no liking at all, my heart could no longer be shared with her. This is the last politeness I can do, and if you continue to bully me under my roof with gibberish, you will never be able to speak again. ”

The old man's originally cloudy gaze suddenly became shining, and he looked at Siegel quietly and was silent for a few seconds. Just when everyone thought he was going to nod and leave, he continued to speak: "Lord Earl, according to the laws of the Star Kingdom, you are now celibate, and I am not bullying you by introducing you to the pearl of the family. ”

Siegel closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly through his nose. "Pluck out his tongue and deport him. ”

"My lord, think twice, he's just an old man, his brain is confused, and he's an envoy of the Griffin family, so he can't just cut his tongue. The guard beside him hurriedly spoke to persuade. Janet stood not far away, looking coldly at the Griffin family, but with an even colder gaze at the guards beside Siegel.

"The young guards are not sensible, and make you laugh. Siegel said to the people around him, "It seems that he still has not received enough education to understand what it means to swear to protect the honor and life of his master." ”

He raised his hand, pointed to the old man's mouth, and gently chanted the incantation. With a pop, Hart Griffin turned into a puff of green smoke from the two maids and vanished.

"Go out at the east gate of the city, all the way in the direction of Rabbit Ear Harbor, and he is on the New Cloak Avenue. Siegel said to the maid who was still in a daze and to the young man holding the griffon's coat of arms: "My last mercy is to tell you where he is. Hart Griffin is not welcome in Myr City, and if he reappears, it will be more than just a loss of the ability to speak. Let him cherish life and stay away from ignorance. ”

Heart-palpitating fear flashed from Siegel's eyes, and the dreadful spell was implanted in their minds. The three of them screamed, turned around and ran. The knights gave way to them, and one of them slapped the maid on the ass. If you're in a tavern, this can cause laughter, or at least liven up the atmosphere. But now everyone can see that the matter is not over, and the Earl of Heim is still angry.

He turned his head and looked at the knight's servant beside him. The slightly baby-faced attendant hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Lord Lord, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't be too talkative!"

"Being too talkative will only be reprimanded, and your behavior is much more serious than that. Siegel said, "You have been stripped of the title of Knight of the Oath for failing to uphold the honor of the Knight of the Oath and refusing to carry out clear orders." You're a civilian now, take off your armor, put down your weapons, and go home. ”

"No, I can't go home. I can only ...... if I become a knight"

Siegel lost his patience and threw him out of the castle with teleportation, leaving his weapons and armor in the halls. I don't know what he'll wear underneath his armor, but given the weather, there's a good chance he'll wear nothing. Although streaking is not within the scope of punishment, it is a good way for this young former servant to deepen his memory.

This interview must be ended as soon as possible, otherwise there will be only a few guys left in the hall who will not be teleported away. The people behind had apparently also seen the squire armor on the ground, and they all quickened their pace, saluted in front of Siegel, and left after saying hello.

Aside from Hum and his half-orc companions, no one remained in the hall to taste the food. When Manna heard about this, she hurried from the racetrack, but she didn't have time to see Siegel. She could probably guess the lord's location, so she didn't hesitate to climb the steps until she reached the courtyard of the podium garden.

Siegel, stripped of his armor, was sitting in a rocking chair watching Isaac run around. He was bruised all over his body, which was an indispensable experience and lesson on the road to growth. Without Raven Balon taking care of him, he would not be in any real danger.

"My lord, I'm late, and I'm sorry Barnt has caused you trouble. Barnt was the name of the servant, and every day Siegel was in charge of the "convoy (ceremonial)" personnel, and she felt that she had a great deal of responsibility to pay.

Siegel waved his hand: "It's all over, it's just a confused old man and an ignorant child, and they have also learned a lesson." If I'm still uncomfortable with this, I'm going to be uncomfortable all the time. ”

"Do you think the Griffins are really such stupid people to run in front of the Archmage Lord and say such things in public?" Janet shook her head and said to Siegel, "I think we need to keep an eye on what they do next, and I don't know what else will happen." What is the purpose behind this stupidity, is it just trying to provoke you?"

"I don't think there's any good in provoking an archmage, even a fool knows that. Siegel nodded. "This is not a primitive and barbaric society like orcs and goblins, and Hart of the Griffin family, although old, does not see any disability in his mind. It's certain that they have another purpose, but the question is whether we need to make the effort to find a reason. ”

Manna understood, and she said, "My lord, do you think this matter is just an act to attract attention?"

"The initial speculation is this. There are so many people in Heim's territory, so let's strengthen our vigilance first. Siegel said, "What can the griffon family do with the help of the air elemental patrol the air?" )
