008 (Redwing Family)

Griffon's Fort was built on a steep cliff with a peak called Griffon's Cliff. The cliff was originally a nest for wild griffins, but it was valued by the visionary Redwing family ancestors because of its steep and majestic terrain.

Thousands of years ago, the [Golden Land] at that time was divided into two realms: north and south. The rulers of the southern realm are the Islamic family of "Boulder", and the rulers of the northern realm are the Redwin family of "Griffon Castle", and they are the second most powerful nobles after the Islamic family. With Salt Town, a fortress sandwiched between two giant peaks, the Redwyns ruled the Golden North for four hundred years.

The Redwyn family built the castle on top of this cliff thousands of years ago and spent 70 years building it. The entire castle, towers and walls are built along the mountain, intertwined with each other, and each other is a horn, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The castle walls are tall and strong, and the towers on the walls are rounded, making the towers not easily damaged. The walls are decorated with narrow windows, semicircular arches, low cupolas, and doorframes that are raised from one floor to the next. The large use of columns and vaults of various shapes creates a solid, balanced, and saturated aesthetic effect, and the narrow windows contrast strongly with the vast space inside, giving the castle a sense of mystery and darkness.

The charm of Griffon Castle lies in its antiquity. Griffon's Fort became the fortress of the Redwyns before the last era (note (1)), more than 100 years before Boulder, more than 300 years before King's Landing in the Vicnian Empire, and more than 400 years before Dawn in the Kingdom of Bunoa. In the sense of ancient warfare. Griffon Castle is undoubtedly the strongest, most treacherous, and most difficult fortress to conquer.

The terrain on which the castle is located is extremely precarious. It is built on a mountain cliff. Backed by the mountains that are difficult to climb, it overlooks the road that runs through the valley, and no one who passes by on the road can escape the eyes of the castle's owner. Because Baron Hopper had killed so many people, he feared that someone would retaliate, so he converted the gate of the castle into a wall, and the only way to enter the castle was to go to the south side of the castle and climb up the rope ladder thrown down from it, or to fly into the castle on a griffin.

Legend has it that the griffon is a flying creature similar to an eagle. It has limbs, has strong attack power, feeds on small creatures, is a creature that can be tamed, and it hates evil extremely. And the Redwin family is grown because of the griffin knight, and every child of the Redwin family hopes that one day, they can have a majestic and mighty griffin mount soaring in the sky and recreate the glory of the Redwin family.

In feudal society, family glory is better than a qiē.

Griffin knights are valued. It is not in their attack power, but in absolute air supremacy.

Mankind's yearning for the sky. It's the same in that world.

However, as human ambitions swelled, wars continued, and griffon knights continued to be consumed, and such losses greatly damaged the Redwin family. The number of griffons is also much lower than before, not to mention the griffin knights who are dense in the sky, and now the entire Redwin family has no more than a hundred griffon mounts. That's why the Redwyns of the Griffon Castle will be replaced by the Tyrells of The Rocky Harbor.

The inky sky curtain was covered with shining stars, like sparkling gems, inlaid in the black sky.

Baron Hopper sat quietly in his study with his eyes closed, beside him a majestic griffin with its head stretched out and arched his arms, perhaps because it heard footsteps outside the house.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a young man in golden armor walked into the room. The boy was tall and slender, with short hair, long and black eyelashes, and he had a delicate and fair face, his eyes were like electricity, his spirit was flying, his nose was straight, his lips were thin, and he was handsome.

Kevin Redwin walked over to the desk and stood in front of the middle-aged man and whispered, "Father!"

Baron Hopper slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What did he say?"

"Didn't say anything. ”

"Stubborn old fellow!" Baron Hopper frowned, a little unpleasant.

"What are you going to do with Uncle?" Kevin never thought that things would turn against each other and split the family.

"Just let him stay in the crypt until he understands. Baron Hopper thought to himself, I can't let him come out and ruin my business.

"What about Aaron? are you going to lock him up too?"

"The boy has run away," Baron Hopper told his son, "but I have sent for him, and though my nephew is not as brave as my brother, he is clever enough to flee north, not south." ”

To the south of Griffon's Castle is almost a flat river, where Griffin Knights can easily search for targets and capture them, while to the north is a dense forest that makes it easy to hide.

"Is this appropriate?" his tone was full of displeasure, "just because Uncle went against your will, you are going to put the whole family in the crypt?" And his father should not have treated his brother like this, if it weren't for the uncle who gave up the title of Griffonburg to his father, his father would not be qualified to sit in this study at all.

"What do you know?" said Baron Hopper with a look of displeasure, "you don't understand anything!"

"Father, you're on the wrong side!" Kevin didn't want to anger him with the past, because his father would be furious about it.

Baron Hopper suddenly frowned, a little annoyed, "Then you sue me, which side should I stand on?"

"Uncle is right, Count Brant Tyrell is the rightful Lord of Rock Harbor, and you should not rebel against him. "And Sir Roger Tyrelll's succession is still behind his nieces, and he has no right to do so." ”

Baron Hopper changed color when he heard this, snorted coldly, and said angrily, "He's just a wild seed, an illegitimate child. I saw that his triangular face was gray in the moonlight, his two cheekbones were pointed, and his eyes were turned up in a daze, which was very terrifying.

"That's the kind of Earl Carter Tyrell," Kevin told his father, "and the noble blood of the House of Islam." ”

Baron Hopper's throat continued to rise and fall, and he stared at his son angrily for a few breaths, and said a cold and hideous sentence, "Roger will kill his nephew with his own hands." "Just like he did when he killed his brother. In order to satisfy his ambitions and desires, he is capable of doing anything, even bearing the notoriety of being a murderer.

Kevin retorted with a straight face, "That's why people call him a sea monster, because he's a cruel and bloodthirsty monster at all." Then he deliberately asked, "Is he going to kill some of his nieces as well?" and what about your beautiful young wife?"

"You'd better not call him that in front of him, or I won't be able to stop Roger's anger. "Roger was the most cold and heartless man he had ever met. Or that he is not human at all, but a murderous and cold-blooded demon.

"Are you scared?"

Baron Hopper ignored his son's sarcasm. Sharply reminded him, "Yes, you should learn to be afraid." ”

"Why should I be afraid?" his pair of long, dark sword eyebrows stubbornly raised high at his temples.

Baron Hopper looked at his son meaningfully, "Because that's how you can save your life." ”

Kevin said stiffly, "I'm not afraid of death." ”

"Stupid," Baron Hopper rebuked him aloud, "everyone should be afraid of death." ”

At this moment, a panicked-looking soldier suddenly ran in outside the door. "Ray... Lord Redwing," the soldier stammered, "there's... There's a black monster heading towards ... Fly towards the castle. (To be continued......)
