Chapter 446: Goodbye Easy Walker
"He's just a kid," Siegel was silent until he sat back in the stands. He could still see the splatters of blood, and he could hear the sound of Werther breathing hard in his throatβthe sound of death. And those cheers in the stands are like dreams far away in the sky. "He's just a kid, who made him do such a stupid thing?"
"It's not your fault, Siegel, don't beat yourself up. Janet reassured.
"I don't blame myself. Life or death in the dueling arena is just a contest of wills and skill, and I won't blame myself. But I need to find out what is wrong with the Griffin family and why they are repeatedly provocative, and I need to know the answer. β
"Leave this to the Guards, and everyone in Myr will cooperate with us. Manna suggested.
"Yes. At the same time, quests are also publicly released for capable adventurers to assist. The mage said, "No matter whether it is true or fake, no news can be let go. Again, this can make my position clear: the Griffins were deceived or coerced, and Heim Collar did not consider the Griffins to be hostile. β
"That's a really good idea, dear. Janet nodded vigorously, then took Siegel's hand and said to him, "Now let's go ahead and watch the rifle race." β
Witt Griffin's body and his weapons were taken by his servants and packed up to be returned to his family. Heim's spies had followed, disguised as ordinary residents, to investigate them.
Galloping horses and valiant knights, stabbing spears and shattered shields, flying fragments of wooden shields and high-pitched screams of excitement. The jousting arena was quickly flooded with these things. Chivalry regained its strength at this time. But Siegel was already a little disheartened. He gave up the idea of participating in a sword fighting competition. Decided to be a lord for a few days.
The knights played round after round, and the knights who could advance showed their outstanding skills. Siegel either applauded or cheered and blessed them. If this is going to be the last big tournament on the mainland, let the participants leave an unforgettable impression forever!
At the end of each round of the riding competition, a sword competition begins, taking the form of a scuffle. Dozens of fighters gathered in the racetrack, fighting for themselves with "safe" weapons. But even a sword of wood can kill people. So if you want to save your life, the most important thing is to shout "surrender!" in time. Witt Griffin has set a wrong example in this regard, and everyone has accepted it. Therefore, although the competition scene was chaotic, fortunately, no one was killed.
"Dad, I'm sleepy and I want to go back. Isaac yawned, berry juice from the corners of his mouth, and his belly bulging. It's amazing that he was able to stay here all morning. So Siegel nodded and asked Janet to take him back.
A shadow swept over their heads.
It's certainly not a cloud. Everyone looked up. See a huge griffin flying over the racetrack. Its golden feathers reflect a gold coin-like luster in the sun, and its black claws and red feathers mixed with its tail feathers illustrate its species: it is a royal griffin. The largest, most powerful and intelligent of the griffins.
Its speed was fast, and the qi elemental chased after it, but it always missed it. This griffon must have been specially trained and knew how to move around in the air. Although the air elemental can project a lightning spear, it is deceived by the griffin's feints and keeps hitting the air.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the griffin in the air, and even Isaac didn't feel sleepy, clapping his hands and applauding. The midday sun dazzled many people's eyes, but everyone still wanted to capture the griffon's graceful posture. Behind it, the number of qi elements began to increase, and there were already four large qi elements chasing it from different directions, and the cross-web formed by lightning became more and more restrictive to its flight. It won't be long before the griffin will inevitably be hit, then clumsy due to paralysis or wounds from the electricity, and eventually be caught.
So this beast bravely rushed towards the qi element, and even if the other party turned itself into a spinning wind, it did not hesitate to rush forward.
"My lord, have mercy on your men, this is Werther's griffon!" shouted a man with a beard and a scarred face to the rostrum, his whole body drenched in sweat, and he could only squeeze out his breath to speak, "I am the animal trainer of the Griffin family, I can calm it, please spare it a life." β
Siegel blinked and shook his head. In the confusion of the crowd, he pointed to the sides. In the crowd of onlookers, several people were approaching. Their eyes were lowered, but their steps were not at all flustered, and they walked forward in an orderly manner. The men were dressed in servants' clothes, but they had nothing in their hands, except for the bulging pockets in their long sleeves. The knights around him suddenly understood and immediately pounced.
Siegel's gaze never left the "animal tamer", looking at it coldly. The glow of magic rippled in his eyes, but there was a force in the tamer that blocked the detected spell. The Heim Lord's guards aimed at the "Assassins" with continuous slurry crossbows, and the heavily armed guards armed with axes would soon arrive. Manna drew her sword and stood at Siegel's side, while Janet hugged Isaac tightly, ready to use the Teleportation Band.
The mage raised his hand, and the flames appeared out of thin air, accompanied by the sound of a thunderclap, directly igniting the griffons in the air. The black and red flames radiated a roaring heat wave with the help of screams, and then the smoking barbecue fell to the ground in the scattered feather fireworks. The swordsmen of the competition hurriedly dodged, but they were left saliva because of the aroma.
"How many more people in the Griffin family in Myr City should have been sent by you to die, right?" Siegel suddenly spoke, "You smell of shapeshifting abilities, but it's not a magic spell. There aren't many creatures with this kind of innate ability, which one are you?"
The bearded, scar-faced man straightened up, shook his shoulders slightly, and threw out the guards who had grabbed his arms. The burst of crossbows immediately activated, and a continuous stream of crossbow bolts pierced into his body. In the blink of an eye, he had at least thirty more short sticks on his body.
"Whew, this thing hurts!" said the scar-faced man. He raised his hands in the air. A smile at Siegel: "We'll meet again." Young mage. The time is not far off when you repay your promise. β
With a wave of her hand, Manna shouted, "Knight of the Heim Lord, attack!" Equipped with a full set of magic weapons and armor, the Heim Lord's guards immediately began to charge, led by the second wave of plasma crossbows, the second wave of javelins and throwing axes, followed by sharp spears and slashing axes. Qi elementals flew down from the sky to assist in the attack, and they held dazzling lightning bolts in their hands.
The scar-faced man waved his raised hands downward, revealing his original form. The arms turned into wings, and the swollen body grew a thick neck and a long tail. The plasma bolt stuck in the body was squeezed out by the scales. They fell to the ground. Yellow eyes gleamed on the green faucet, and dangerous corrosive acid drippeds from the mutilated teeth.
The "assassins" on either side of Siegel who were caught by the knights all turned into a puff of green and yellow smoke that disappeared from their grasps with a pop. The sour smell choked on their coughing, but there were no other symptoms, and the cough soon stopped.
"O god of warriors, dragons, a green dragon!" exclaimed Isaac in excitement, but was hugged tightly by Janet and did not rush forward. The knights who came to the competition had mixed expressions, mixed with fear and excitement, but they were replaced by ecstasy. They picked up the blunt instrument of the game at hand. He even rushed up with his bare hands. Siegel saw many people flock to the stands, wanting to use their fanaticism to slay the dragon.
Opposite the stands. Spectators are running away, pushing and shoving in the crowd, and many people fall to the ground. But I don't know if they were stunned, or if they had absolute confidence in Siegel, more people just stood up and looked at the dragon under the rostrum with a more focused look.
"You passed, bearer of fate. You are not deceived, you are not afraid of challenges, you always put yourself in an advantageous position, and you are vigilant enough. The dragon said, "You're growing fast, but I'm going to find the next one." I'll come back to you when I'm done, looking forward to seeing you next time. β
Siegel nodded, clenched his fist in the air and slammed it down. Seeing this, Manna immediately ordered: "Stop the attack, all on alert!" When the guards heard the order, they immediately stood still and stared at the green dragon with vigilant eyes. Only the crossbowmen were busy changing magazines, after all, this was not an order to retreat, and combat preparations could not be stopped.
"For the sake of our side by side, I won't use magic to attack you. Siegel said to the green dragon, "But you caused a lot of chaos, so why bother? If you want to come to me next time, just come here." β
"All of this is necessary, Master Siegel. The green dragon bowed his head slightly and coiled his tail up.
"What about the Griffin family, which is also necessary?"
"You're right. The truth can only be seen through life and death. The green dragon nodded. It flapped its wings and whistled into the sky. The qi elemental was knocked out of the way, tumbling in the air. The green dragon fused with an incomparable momentum and the blue sky, flew around the arena, and then left in the direction of the city wall mountain range.
Siegel made his way to where the green dragon was standing and picked up the plasma bolt from the ground. Due to the speed with which they exited the dragon's body, these weapons did little damage. This weapon, designed to deal with the ancient tree of war, is increasingly constrained in the current environment. "Continue to be on alert and intensify patrols. See if anyone gets hurt and clean up the playing field. Siegel said to Mana, "I know the green dragon, tell everyone not to be too nervous." But if you see it again, you will immediately mobilize the qi element to besiege it. β
"Do you need to attach a heavy crossbow to the walls?" Manna asked
"Not necessarily. It's still in the middle of a jousting tournament, and the Heavy Crossbow will make the situation tense. Siegel said to the female knight, "The qi element alone will not work. Have you found a way to raise and domesticate the birds?"
"We can only try slowly, and many of the accounts are vague. The young of the birds no longer attack the breeder, but it is difficult to say what will happen when they grow up. β
"Okay, let's take care of this matter next. I sent Janet and Isaac back to the castle and continued to watch the jousting in the afternoon. Instead of using the teleportation, Siegel took his wife and children by the hand and walked back. His actions seemed to be unhurried, and the residents of Mir City were much more reassured.
