Chapter Seventy-Seven: Ba Naogan's Ambition and the Griffin
After the ice and evil were gone, the surrounding stone house was quiet again, with singing birds, flying butterflies, and wandering beasts, but this beautiful scenery was tarnished by two bloody cases inside and outside the stone house.
After a long time, seeing that no one was coming, Hesminfen got up and called the boss Vane, but he couldn't wake up after calling for a long time, and remembered that he had been woken up by water, so he immediately found a scoop of water and sprinkled it on his face, and sure enough, he woke up.
"Damn, who's messing with me?" Vane woke up in a daze, wiped his face clean, and saw Hirschmingfen looking panicked and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Hesminfen pointed in the direction of the stone house, so anxious that tears were about to come out: "Big ...... Big brother, it's dead. ”
Vane was startled when he saw a man lying down outside the stone house, his head was gone, and blood was spilling all over the ground, but he could tell from his clothes that it was Agilusi Pipican, and hurried over.
Hesmingfen also followed, pointing to the room and crying, "Teacher Crab, he ...... He...... He also died. ”
Vane looked into the room, and sure enough, he saw Teacher Crab half-leaning on the cabinet and sitting motionless on the ground: "This ...... What's going on?" When he walked into the room and saw the tragic death of the teacher, he was terrified: "Could it be that he was attacked by a demonic beast? No, it's not like it. ”
"Emma, Xana!" Hesminfen found the two female classmates lying on the bed, and he didn't dare to step forward to see if the two were dead, and hurriedly asked Vane what to do.
This series of death-and-death incidents has already made Vane stunned, and his heart is very worried, he didn't expect to wake up to see such a tragic situation, and he thought he was dreaming. Vane checked their breathing and found that they were not dead, but he couldn't scream for a long time.
Hesminfen hurriedly found water and sprinkled it on their faces, and after being drenched in water, he immediately removed the intention of drowsiness.
Emma and Shana, like Vane, sat up blankly, and when they saw Hesminfen looking at them in surprise, they asked, "What's wrong?" looked down at their bodies, only to find that they were not wearing clothes, so they were so frightened that they quickly rolled up the quilt and wrapped themselves in anger, and said angrily: "You two bastards, what did you do to us?"
"No, not us. Vane stepped aside and said, "Look, the teacher is ......."
Xia Na exclaimed: "Teacher Crab, Teacher Crab ......" shouted a few times and didn't hear him answer, only to know that he was dead: "What's going on?"
Vane shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just woke up too." Hesminfen, do you know what's going on?"
"I ...... I ......"
Emma saw the clothes on the bedside and said, "You go out first, let's change our clothes." ”
Vane went out of the room and crouched beside Pipikan's body: "Who did this? Who killed the teacher and Uncle Pipikan? Hesminfen, you got up before us, did you see?"
"I ......" Hesmingfen thought of the appearance of that person, and felt that it was very likely to be a student of his own academy, and was very scared in his heart, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, I don't know, I didn't see anything, I ...... If I saw it, would he let me go?"
Vane thought about it and thought he had a point: "You're right, it's good that we're all drunk and asleep, otherwise we might have been ...... too." Unexpectedly, even the crab teacher of the yellow-robed magician and Uncle Pipikan, who has lived in a treacherous place like Datam Canyon for many years, were also killed, the murderer must be a very powerful person!"
Seeing Xana and Emma coming out, Hesminfen hurriedly asked, "What are we going to do now?"
After pondering for a while, Emma said, "Let's hurry back to the city and tell the other teachers, this matter is not something we can decide." ”
"What about the corpses? They're buried?"
Xana said, "You can't leave them exposed, they will be eaten by wild beasts." Let's put it in the stone house, and we hurried back to tell the teacher. ”
The four agreed, and carried Pipikan's headless body into the room, and wept when they saw the teacher's body. Vane sighed, "Even a person like Uncle Pipican is dead, I don't know which brute bastard did it." ”
......
Ba Naogan lay on the back of the flying griffin (1), and blood spilled from his mouth from time to time: "That old guy of 'poisonous scorpion' is really powerful, he can actually hold up under my big light gun, and he is worthy of being a wanted criminal ten years ago." But no matter how good you are, you will be alone, and when I gather all the people, I will see that I will not kill you alive!, but where are those guys now?......
From time to time, there were flying monsters flying around him, but the griffon's might did not dare to attack. Suddenly, there was a chill all around him, and even the griffin guards under his back felt uneasy under this chill.
"What a strong killing intent!" Ba Naogan was secretly shocked in his heart: "I don't know who can exude such a terrifying killing intent, could it be a warrior?" He leaned sideways on the edge of the griffin and looked, only to see a cloud of dust rolling up in the open space of the wasteland below, and there was a faint person standing in it, but he couldn't see who it was from too far away, he was curious in his heart, and called for the guardian to fly down.
The dust gradually dissipated, and Bimoyer looked at the 'pole' in his hand in amazement, the sword body that was constantly shaking, no matter how he suppressed it, he couldn't calm down. He was horrified in his heart, he had never seen such a violent sword, this was the first time he had actually used this sword, only to find that it was completely out of his control, as if he was fighting by his own 'will'.
Seeing the withered corpses of the demonic beasts underground, he just wanted to try the sword, and he didn't want to kill the demonic beasts like this. Bimoyer remembered what his grandfather had told him that night: "Pole is handed over to you, and I think you are the second person in the Christine family who can use it." But you can't really control it with the current liliang, so you must not use it arbitrarily, otherwise it will bring unbearable regrets to yourself, and the reason why it is handed over to you now is just to let it slowly recognize you and forget the previous owner. Remember, don't 'dictate it until it agrees with you!'
"Grandpa, you're right, it's a disobedient 'child'!" Bimoyer slowly put away the 'pole', it didn't have a scabbard, because it didn't like to be covered by the scabbard, and the scabbard couldn't hide its edge, so it could only be wrapped in light gauze and tied behind it.
A griffon flew closer, and Bimoyer saw the griffon, and the man on it. The man on the griffin was wounded, but his sharp eyes stared straight at the sword behind his back. ,
"You're from the Christine family. This is not a question, but a saying. 'Extreme' is one of the thirteen divine soldiers, this is something that everyone knows, and the sword of 'Extreme' is described in the first place in "Detailed Explanation of a Hundred Soldiers", and 'Extreme' is the most important treasure of the Christine family, which is also known to everyone. Ba Naogan saw 'Ji', and then saw the red eyes in the young man's eyes, and knew that he was from the Christine family.
It is said that it is only three generations, but I don't know if it is because of the special bloodline, the Christine family has been outstanding for generations and has become one of the most prestigious families in the mainland.
Seeing him staring at his sword, Bimoye said coldly, "You want to grab this sword?"
Ba Naogan came back to his senses, snorted and laughed: "No matter how much I like this sword, I won't at least rob children's things." I advise you, although the name of the Christine family is big, you are still too young, and you will cause trouble with this sword. In fact, what he said was half-true, to say that he was not at all 'extreme' moved, and it was not true that he did not rob the child's things, but the latter words were persuasion of conscience.
Although Bimoyer is an indifferent person, he is not a nouveau riche kid, and he doesn't know what to do, so he said lightly: "Xiexie." ”
Seeing that he was leaving, Ba Naogan hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Have you seen a person with a blue cross painted on his body?"
Bimoyer looked at him for a long time before shaking his head: "I have something." After saying that, he stepped on the empty step and flew away.
Ba Naogan was slightly surprised: "It's amazing! At such a young age, he can use magic skills so easily, and the speed is so fast, the people of the Christine family are really not simple!By the way, if he can join my Blue Cross...... "Thinking of this, I am not in a hurry to find my companion, and I am in a hurry to chase after the griffin guard."
Ba Naogan is a very ambitious person, he wants to do a big career, and if he wants to do a big business, there are few talents. Although it was a bit arrogant and impractical to have someone like the Christine family join his banner, he still wanted to give it a try.
Bimoyer was speeding away, and since the last time he saw a dragon-like shadow, he had figured that there might be other dragons in Datam Canyon. But these days, he has been looking day and night, but he has never been able to find it.
"Hey, little brother. Ba Nao cried out in pain, the griffin must have been faster, and soon caught up.
Bimoyer suddenly stopped and floated in the air, looking at him coldly.
The griffin also flapped into large wings and slowed down. Ba Naogan asked, "I don't know what your name is?"
Bimoyer didn't answer his questions, just looked at him.
Ba Naogan didn't mind, and said: "That's right, my name is Mo Long Ba Naogan, and I am the leader of the Blue Cross Mercenary Regiment, and I want to invite you to join my mercenary group......
"I'm not a mercenary. Bimoyer interrupted him.
"It's okay, the mercenary can ......" Ba Nao didn't speak yet, and he already understood the meaning of what he said just now: "You mean you're not interested in mercenaries?"
Bimoyer didn't speak, and not speaking usually means acquiescence.
Ba Naogan sighed lightly, and being rejected was also something he expected: "Yes, how can someone from the Christine family be interested in a mercenary career." Still, I'd love to have you on board, because I can see that you're going to be a character in the future. I'm not going to force you, if you change your mind you can contact me through the mercenary union, or come to Rotzwalsh, where our mercenary group has a station. ”
"Xiexie, I'm not interested. Bimoyer said coldly and left again.
Ba Naogan was not angry at his rudeness, but only sighed. Of course, he is not angry not because the other party is a nobleman, but because he knows that people who do great things must have the heart to do great things.
(Note: (1) Everyone is familiar with griffins. Dungeons & Dragons and the Might & Magic series of games have made the legendary magical beast the griffin a familiar one, and like unicorns and dragons, it frequently appears in major online games, animations, comics, and novels. The frequency of its appearance in online novels is enough to make all kinds of Warcraft embarrassed, whether it is fantasy, magic, fantasy, otherworldly, Xiuzhen, online games, etc., it has its figure. But even if everyone is familiar with it, I still want to comment it here, so that some people who don't know much about it can have more understanding.
Origin: It is unknown when or where the griffon originated, and the sages believed it to be the result of some magical shiyan in an ancient civilization, but it seems that the griffon appeared in the legends handed down by poets and elders long before it was written. Perhaps, like Centaurs, griffons are creatures created by nature's extraordinary magic. The griffon first appeared in ancient Akkadian (Babylonian-Assyrian) mythology, and in the legend of Marduk's slaying of the demon beast and the canonization of the gods, the griffon was the third giant beast he killed. Later, the griffon appeared in Greek mythology, representing Zeus, the god of the gods, Apollo, the god of the sun, and Nemesis, the goddess of nemesis - the griffon that pulled the chariot for Nemesis was different from its kind, and its whole body was pitch black like a crow. The Latin variant of the Greek word grups, gryphus, and the grif, which means canyon, are mixed, and in English and French they become griffin/griffon/gryphon.
In Greek mythology, a species of eagle-headed and lion-like monster with wings, also known as "Griffon" or "Gryphon". It is recorded that the griffon's body was larger than eight lions, taller than a hundred eagles, with long ears, a leopard's beak, and claws on its feet, as large as a bull's horns. According to Dante, the griffin's eagle head is golden, and the lion body is white.
Robert Impan's description of the griffon in Strange Spirits. Appearance: Perhaps due to its proximity to the sky, griffons have a sun-like plumage and coat color. The back half of the lion-like body is covered with yellowish-brown fur, and the eagle-like head and forelimbs are covered with golden-colored feathers, although they may also be cream-white feathers with dark red spots. They may have blue or green feathers on their heads and wings, vermilion feathers on their chest, and eagle-like beaks and feet may range from transparent yellow to brilliant gold, with black talons.
The griffon's eyes were like living flames, ruby red, flaming yellow, and ice blue, all of which could have been the dazzling brilliance of those sharp eyes. They can clearly see a horse at an altitude of two miles (about 3,200 meters), and if they can read, they can read a single word of ordinary printed material from 30 meters away. Although there is no night shili, you can still gather the faintest light to see your surroundings and hunt easily. Its sense of smell is mediocre for carnivores, not as agile as dogs, but much better than that of humans, and it can track its prey with its sense of smell and quickly spot enemies upwind. Griffons have a keen sense of hearing, and can distinguish footsteps from up to 1 mile away.
Few creatures possess the griffon's hunting skills. With speed, dexterity, and natural claws, griffons swoop through the air to prey. It likes to eat herbivores, especially horses and their relatives (Hippogriffs, Pegasi, centaurs, unicorns, etc.). In fact, from rabbits to bison, regardless of size, as long as they can eat meat (and humans are also the same), they will inevitably become a food for their hunger. While they are equally capable of hunting their prey in complete darkness, they prefer to hunt during the day, when herbivores are out and outside and more comfortable in the heat of the sun. Vast plains, savannas, and long grassy slopes are their favorite hunting grounds.
I won't go into too much detail, but in short, this is a creature that is very popular with the majority of fantasy lovers. Isn't it?)
