Upon hearing Sulia's inquiry, Emperor Karl-Franz couldn't help but feel a little hesitant and a little embarrassed.
There is indeed a dragon underground in the empire's royal zoo, but this matter is classified as top secret. How did Ryan know about it?
"Is there really a dragon?" Duchess "Sulia", who was holding Ryan's arm, continued to ask.
The emperor always felt that something was wrong with the "Sulia" in front of him. In his impression, Sulia was the kind of duchess who was particularly aristocratic, civilized and elegant, and very ladylike and ladylike. But today she
But she seemed very lively, and she also liked to take the initiative to speak, and her tone also changed. Her tone towards Ryan changed from mutual respect to a slightly commanding tone. If it weren't for the respect for Ryan in her tone, Carl Fran
Cidu suspected that Sulia had been switched.
"Sulia!" Ryan said to Sulia with some blame: "This is His Majesty Karl's private life, don't ask like this."
"It doesn't matter." When the emperor saw this, he had to stretch out his hand to show that he didn't mind. Karl-Franz thought about it for a moment and said: "There is indeed a dragon underground in the zoo. This dragon is called the Imperial Dragon. It is Brenner.
The patron saint of Ke, but this dragon sleeps all year round and almost never wakes up. I have only ridden it once and am not very familiar with it. If I have a chance next time, let Greg Matta, the dean of the Amber Academy,
Come here, he can show you the dragon."
The implication is that we can't visit now, Ryan thought.
The amber mages of the Amber Academy are essentially the same as the druids. After being bound to the amber wind, these people's body hair grows wildly, their behavior is very wild, their nails and teeth are as sharp as the teeth and claws of animals, and they like to wear animal skins.
, shirtless, holding a staff made of wood, bone and amber, walking in the wilderness. Among them, the most powerful amber mage can also transform into an animal to fight or travel.
So what is the difference between Amber mages and those druids?
The difference is that amber mages accept the leadership of the imperial court and believe that nature must unite with humans to defend against foreign enemies. These amber mages deeply love the empire and its land, and they swear loyalty to the empire more than any other.
The oaths he had sworn were stronger and stronger.
Of course, even so, these amber mages still have constant conflicts with the nobles and the city's citizens, and they do not trust each other.
"Thirty percent new is a guest, 50% new is a friend, and 70% new is a brother."
——A proverb describing the newness of the clothes worn by the amber mage and the relationship between the guests.
At this time, in Sulia's heart, the female knight was talking to the fairy in the lake.
"Madam, don't be so rude!" Sulia was a little embarrassed: "You will make things difficult for Ryan."
"I'm going to make things difficult for him." The Lake Fairy said plausibly: "Lidya Su, don't you think you are too accommodating to him? Sometimes you have to have your own ideas and requirements, so that Ryan can
I will value you and love you."
"Madam, I don't think this is good..." Sulia instinctively felt that the fairy in the lake wanted to cause trouble, and the female knight was a little worried: "We are in the empire now, in front of His Majesty Karl. As his wife,
We still have to give him face..."
"Don't worry, I'm measured." The fairy in the lake waved her hand. Seeing this, Lidya Su couldn't say anything more, so she could only agree.
On the other side, Ryan was still chatting with Emperor Karl-Franz: "I saw Mattak last time...but the strange smell on his body was really not very pleasant, and he also invited Tigris and me
We really don’t dare to go in as guests in his beast’s mansion.”
"Matake is not a bad person." The emperor smiled and shook his head: "He is just like all amber wizards. He likes to stay in the wilderness and sleep in the forest covered in mud. It is said that he is good at making good black tea.
This black tea not only has a strong taste, but also has a sleep-promoting effect. You will feel drowsy after drinking it.”
"Yes, so I haven't drunk it." Ryan sneered.
"Me neither." The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said with tacit understanding.
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
The Royal Zoo is divided into several areas, namely the "Markenson Coaching Area", "Northern Area", "Hoke Area", "Oost Area", "Southern Area", "Western Area" and the Griffin Area in the center, which houses
Almost all exotic beasts from the old world, including trolls and chaos eggs, are here. Many imperial academies, wizards and sects conduct research on various strange creatures.
Also, as an added feature, the Royal Menagerie provided the Emperor's troops with war horses, Pegasus, demi-gryphons and powerful griffins.
Everyone first visited the stables, which housed sturdy war horses. These war horses came from the horse-producing province of Aiwei. The horses produced in Aiwei have undergone rigorous training and can lead knights into chaotic battlefields without fear.
However, neither Ryan nor Sulia nor Emilia seemed interested in the imperial war horses. The emperor was also a little embarrassed, including the horse breeders and grooms who came forward to receive them.
Because no matter how good the imperial war horses are, they are far inferior to the war horses of Britannia. Most of the war horses in Britannia are the descendants of elf war horses and Britannia forest horses. The war horses of the Knight Kingdom are more or less the same.
There are some elven war horses whose bloodline is much stronger in terms of physical strength, sprinting power, speed, load-bearing capacity and jumping ability.
Not to mention the pure-blood elven war horse. The pure-blood elven war horse can carry the fully armed World Eater Primarch Angron and sprint back and forth on the plains. If it is replaced by an imperial war horse, it will be tired in just a few minutes.
die.
The best war horses the emperor had were the several mixed-blood elf war horses that he tried his best to import from Ryan. Because he was confused about how to breed the mixed-blood elf war horses, and the methods were wrong, the Royal Zoo was never able to complete the breeding of the mixed-blood elf war horses.
.
For this, Ryan neither intends nor can provide guidance, because the national policy tree of the Knight Kingdom is like this.
Then there is Pegasus.
The Empire, like Britannia, also has Pegasus, because Pegasus is a species that lives in the Gray Mountains in large numbers. In the Empire, Pegasus is often called the Imperial Pegasus. Its fur is as white as flying snow, and its intelligence is far beyond
For ordinary war horses, if you want Pegasus to become a mount, you must capture it when it is still a foal. It takes many years of training to gain trust in Pegasus, but once this trust is established, they will become loyal mounts.
, will obey any orders from the master.
Similarly, Ryan, Sulia and others are still not interested in the Imperial Pegasus, because Britannia also owns it, and the Pegasus under Ryan's father-in-law Francois is the most powerful in the old world.
A pure-blood elf Pegasus, this Pegasus named Bragg not only possesses extremely high intelligence, but also possesses magical abilities. When surrounded by enemies, the father-in-law's Pegasus can turn the magical energy contained in his body into a strong light and release it, allowing himself to
Escape from combat and burn enemies.
Compared to Britannia, who likes to gather Pegasus knights to form flying armies, the Empire prefers to use Pegasus as mounts for generals. There are more than a dozen pure white Pegasus horses in the royal zoo. The emperor is gentle.
He walked up and took it from the groom's hand
A carrot was brought to the Pegasus' mouth, and he watched it eat the carrot. The emperor happily combed the Pegasus' mane with a brush: "These are all my treasures, but these Pegasus are not the best, the best."
That Pegasus is called Swift Silver, and it is now Galt's mount."
"Where is Geert now?" Ryan was quite interested in this matter: "It's less than two weeks until the game, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
"We'll be back soon." The emperor nodded: "Gelt led an army to Kislev to prevent a group of northern barbarians from releasing the ancient dragon demon. He completed the task well, and now he and his army have
Once we arrive at Talabheim, it will take a week at most."
After saying that, the emperor seemed not to say any more, and then led Ryan and others to see a special creature.
That is the demi-gryphon who is very famous in the empire.
Demigriffs are very ferocious and dangerous creatures. They have sharp beaks, powerful claws and strong bodies. They are extremely destructive and have a bad temper. At the same time, because of their strong bodies, they can wear plate armor, which makes
Many knights will try to capture this half-gryphon as their own mount. Many people fail and lose their lives, but as long as they succeed, the loyal mount will follow its owner for a lifetime.
Demi-Griffins generally only exist in the Black Forest of the Empire. Due to their appearance and the body structure of a hawk head and a tiger body, they are named "Demi-Griffins". Unlike griffins, the overall size of Demi-Griffins is smaller.
A big circle, then no wings
Wings and unable to fly. Many scholars believe that the demi-griffon is a new species produced after hybridization between griffins and other creatures in the black forest. However, some scholars believe that the demi-griffon has nothing to do with the griffin from beginning to end.
.
Currently, the largest demi-gryphon force in the old world is the Gryphon Knights of which Ryan's godfather, Duke Ivan, serves as the grand leader. Currently, there are more than a hundred demi-gryphon knights in this order in Brunswick, following the emperor's orders.
The unit was known as the Royal Demi-Gryphons of Braunschweig.
Currently, there are not many demi-gryphons in the zoo, because most of them have found their owners and are serving in the military. After thinking about it, Ryan realized that the empire's military strength will always be tight.
"The champion of Nur, Justice Nur, a strong man in the holy realm, Theodore Bruckner is riding the largest and most ferocious demi-griffon in the entire empire - the Reaper." The emperor signaled that everyone should not approach the demi-gryphon.
Eagle, to avoid being hurt: "Am I right? Emmanuel?"
Emilia glanced at the emperor angrily: "You know very well about Theodore, Karl Franz, maybe I should clean up my palace after I go back?"
Ryan's little maid stomped her small leather shoes on the ground. Ever since she reunited with Ryan, it seemed like a matter of course that Emilia would replace her high heels with her favorite small leather shoes.
"Only since having Frederic, you have become more aggressive, Emmanuel." The emperor said something profound, and then he gave up any more entanglement with Emilia: "The next thing is
My collection, the War Griffon, Ryan, you have a gryphon too, right?"
"Yes, maybe." Ryan nodded. His griffon Imperius eats hundreds of gold crowns of food a year. If it weren't for his family's huge business, he really wouldn't be able to afford it.
Emperor Karl-Franz kept several war griffins in the Royal Zoo. Their shoulder height is twice as high as that of an adult man, and their meat-tearing beaks are like sharp scissors. In front of everyone walking through the animal pen
In front of them, the ferocious griffins slammed against the guardrail, roared and hissed at everyone. The griffins were full of hostility towards everything. Many of them were cubs and underage.
Captured here from the Roof Mountains of the World.
Taming a griffon is a bigger project than taming a demi-gryphon, and it requires extremely strong strength, perseverance and patience.
Even the electors of the empire are proud to have a griffon in their stables. Unfortunately, just like the hippogryph knights of Britannia, there are not many griffin knights in the empire. Apart from the gryphon knights,
Apart from some real "Gryphon Knights" in the order, only the "Wrath of Tarr" Knights in Talabheim has full-fledged Griffin Knights.
But in addition, some legendary amber wizards in the empire have their own gryphon mounts, because these wizards whose bodies are bound to the amber wind have the magic to tame beasts, and they can communicate with beasts.
As a result, some griffons will willingly become mounts for amber wizards.
"Where's your Death Claw?" Ryan didn't see the emperor's mount in the stable.
"It doesn't stay in the animal pen during the day. It prefers to fly in the sky, but at night, no matter where it goes, it will come back." The emperor smiled toothily, and his tone seemed to be telling a story.
Something that makes him very proud: "It always comes back and sleeps quietly in the stable."
"The same goes for Imperius, but my griffon always prefers to hunt small animals in the forest." Ryan also smiled.
"Spitting lightning from the mouth? How to do it?" the emperor asked suddenly. This question had been bothering him for a long time.
"A gift from the lady." Ryan blinked.
"Okay." The emperor shrugged: "Let's change the topic. Take a look, this is a two-headed griffin, a variant of the war griffin. It is also very powerful, but it is also very difficult to control, especially the two-headed lion.
The eagles often quarrel among themselves."
As if responding to the emperor's words, this huge two-headed griffon violently plucked the straw under its body with its claws. It proudly looked up at the group of people who regarded it as an ornament, and spoke with anger and anger.
He stared at the emperor and the breeder who were chattering endlessly with cold eyes and contempt, as if he was going to tear them apart in the next second.
After visiting the griffons, we have almost finished visiting the Royal Zoo.
Finally, the emperor led everyone to the door of a closed door. Everyone could feel the strong smell of sulfur spraying from the cracks in the door.
"The dragon is just behind this door, but you have seen the situation. Even I dare not get close to it now. If there is a chance next time, I will bring you over to see it." Karl Franz nodded: "You guys
You are all guests of the empire, I cannot let you be in danger."
"Has your Majesty done any research on dragons?" Just as everyone was exiting, Duchess Sulia suddenly spoke. The female knight had a playful look on her face: "The one behind the door is a Silver Moon Dragon, not very old."
"Oh?!" Karl-Franz was very interested: "Mrs. Sulia, how much do you know about dragons?"
"A little research." The fairy in the lake controlled Sulia's body, and the goddess took Ryan's arm: "Your Majesty, are you interested in hearing it?"
