“…… It's raining? ”

Sherlock suddenly looked up at the sky.

A flash of lightning flashed not far away, and soon after, rolling thunder accompanied by a chilling gust of wind. Both his and Haina's hair was blown by the wind, which made Haina subconsciously reach out to shield her eyes from the dust on the side of the road.

I saw that dark clouds were gathering up from the village at some point, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Sherlock's hair was visibly blown by the naked eye, forcing him to squint.

After the cold wind blew, the rain fell with the colder and colder winds.

The two of them could only find a nearby place to hide.

"Such heavy rain?"

Sherlock glanced back at Haina, "Is this normal?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Haina hesitated.

The main reason is that she herself hasn't been back for a long time, and her childhood has passed too long, and now she can't remember it clearly.

But it seems that in my impression, there is really no such a heavy and urgent rain ......?

Sherlock understood: "You don't have to say it, I get it." ”

This is clearly not an abnormal phenomenon.

"Is there something wrong with Ivus?"

Haina asked with some concern, "Shall we go over and have a look?" ”

Sherlock also wanted to go, but his sanity stopped him: "I'm afraid that situation will happen - we think we're going to help, but it's the past that's dragging our feet." Originally, Eivus was able to cope normally, but after the pass, we were kidnapped as hostages, which distracted him. ”

"And that's exactly ......"

Haina sighed as well.

She was about to say something when she felt a jolt. This made her almost bite her tongue, and she quickly reached out to hold the most convenient handrail next to her, such as Sherlock's head.

Sherlock didn't stand still, and was nearly snapped off by Haina's palm.

He was about to look at Hayna in exasperation when he heard a thunderous explosion from the other side of the village.

"Let's go, let's see."

Sherlock made up his mind without hesitation, grabbed Hayna and rushed out of the room.

It doesn't matter if they might have dragged their feet in the past – what is the difference between that and dragging their feet?

- It's clear that something is wrong!

Maybe they've already lost both, so they'll have to wait for Sherlock to come over and mend the knife or save someone......

Of course, Sherlock's vigilance has been stretched to the limit.

He had already grasped Edward's sword and could instantly cast a spell at any time - in this case, spells that required chanting would not work as well as spells.

Before he could take two steps, however, he heard Haina sigh.

"Don't run away."

Haina said indistinctly.

The next moment, he was picked up by Haina. put it on Liz the griffon beside her.

As soon as Sherlock turned around, he saw that Haina had already had a griffin flute in her mouth at some point.

It was a special whistle that made a sound that griffons could hear from a long distance, and when Ivas gave it to her when Liz gave it to her, he gave the matching griffon flute as a necklace. And now it's just in use.

After blowing the flute, Liz flew over in the blink of an eye.

She chirped crisply, asking Haina if she wanted to come up.

Sherlock was light, and Haina was not in armor. Although Liz is not yet an adult, she can easily carry the two of them on her back...... After all, the griffon's payload capacity is based on that of an adult wearing heavy armor and weapons.

Haina subconsciously wanted to run over by herself, but she was stunned for a moment before she realized that she already had a griffin.

She was a little moved, and jumped up directly.

I'm a griffin too!

I saw Liz flapping her wings and taking off, clawing down slightly—the two people on her back, along with Liz herself, became a translucent state.

That's the Wind Elemental Form!

It's not the flesh, it's not the storm. Rather, it is a pure elemental form - only passengers with a pool of wind elemental mana can be transformed into this form.

It just so happens that both Sherlock and Hayna have both.

In this form, it is naturally not affected by the sound barrier. You don't need to stand up to protect the barrier like an adult griffin, or have a strong enough body to resist shock and acceleration - just a flash in front of you, and the world around you retreats as quickly as it gets.

Sherlock didn't feel too much inertia physically, but he felt an extremely strong sense of stimulation psychologically. The obstacles were whirring in his face at a speed that he couldn't react to, and even a large number of tree branches were getting closer and farther away, so he couldn't help but reach out and cover his face.

Even Haina didn't get used to it, she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, bow her head and firmly hug Sherlock's waist and Liz's neck - although Haina had ridden griffins, taken flying lessons, and had taken exams, she was taught to fly on the track in school.

Although there will be some circles in the air and near the woods, the "runway" is still spacious and tidy.

It was the first time she had flown in such a dense forest.

Elemental griffons can ignore small obstacles, such as birds and branches. As long as the wind can blow through normally, it can crash through without slowing down.

Many griffons are looking for safe and smooth routes because they occasionally need to carry ordinary people. But Liz is clearly a special case - like the kind of kid who likes to tread puddles of water, or deliberately take long distances to climb mountains to "explore", she likes to rush over places with a lot of obstacles.

And this way of shortening is also beneficial.

The best thing about it is that it runs fast enough.

In just a dozen seconds, they flew from the swamp directly from the other end to the head of the village.

- That's a lot faster than running on my own. The thought immediately crossed Hayna's mind.

And when they arrived at the battleground, they were immediately shocked.

I saw that the grass here was gone.

The fire did not disappear completely even after the torrential rain, and there was a huge crater in the middle, and a large amount of black smoke was steaming from it.

The walls of the priest's house, which was closest there, were almost completely broken. Flames were burning in all directions.

But what puzzled Sherlock the most was such a big fire, such a big explosion...... But the trees in the forest were untouched.

And Ihuas, whose clothes were in tatters, was calmly pointing his hand at the burning table. Draw flames from it to heal yourself using the "Ritual Fire Method".

When Sherlock arrived, he seemed to be almost ready.

When he saw Sherlock, Washton's eyes lit up.

"Just in time! Build a wall, fence this place, and come in! ”

Ivas immediately spoke to Sherlock from a distance.

Sherlock patted the griffon's head and whispered, "Rush in." ”

Liz the Griffon immediately answered - although the master did not speak, it was better to have an order than to be stunned.

Sherlock had already begun to chant spells.

Soon, several earthen walls rose from the ground, and the dilapidated house was repaired.

Around that moment, a cold wind blew—

Sherlock, who had experienced this scene, immediately reacted.

It's the wild hunt that's coming.
