Chapter 522 [Griffin Boy]
"Kakarot, this is such a strange name."
In a room on the third floor of the Knights Association's headquarters, Deron leaned lazily in his chair, his dirty boots on the table, and held a player's information in his hand. He was still exuding
It has a strong smell of wine and fat powder.
Du Wei sat opposite him, glanced at Knight Delon's boots, sniffed his nose, and frowned: "Where did you go last night? Which goblin den did you go to to fool around in?"
"Oh no no." Delong shook his head again and again, his expression obviously a little proud: "Thanks to you, my Lord Duke, I will no longer go to those cheap goblin dens in the south of the city than I did before...
Those cheap perfumes and powders smell like God, I can't imagine how I could tolerate them before. Now my status is different. Last night, a count invited me to the ecstasy outside the city. I have to say,
That place is awesome! If it were me, I would never get into that place, and even if I could get in, I wouldn't be willing to pay that price."
Du Wei smiled. He knew that he had been to the place Delong was talking about with Prince Chen.
"The girl in that place is so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. Unfortunately, if you hadn't come to me early this morning, I really wanted to hold that little baby in my arms and sleep until noon."
With that said, Delong threw the booklet in his hand on the table: "Okay, my Lord Duke, let's talk about the serious business. I am a serious person, and I will never be perfunctory when it comes to doing business."
Du Wei whistled and thought: Serious person? Is there anyone more unscrupulous than you in this world?
"This Kakarot is the opponent of our beautiful warrior in the final." Deron sighed: "It's really disappointing. In fact, I hope we can have two beautiful warriors! Isn't it? The final
, watching two beautiful warriors fighting in the ring, the scene must have been hot... Lord Duke, in your words, well, how to put it... Ah, by the way, it has a stimulating effect on the box office.
'.Is that what you said?"
Duwei pouted: "If you are willing, you can convince this Kakarot to dress up as a woman."
Delong actually thought about it seriously and then shook his head: "Okay, no more joking, let's be serious. My Lord Duke, this martial arts tournament will be over soon, although I am very reluctant to part with it... it can give
We made a lot of money! If possible, I really hope to hold this kind of competition every year. But... the question now is. What should we do next? The candidates for the Knights of the Sword of Roland are all in this book.
Everyone’s wealth is very innocent, and they don’t have any special backgrounds... Well, according to your request, all the guys with special backgrounds will be found for us to keep out during the preliminaries."
Du Wei smiled, a little weirdly: Kakarot? It's really interesting!
I wonder if this guy will transform into a Super Saiyan? Or... he also has another name called Son Goku?
According to the information, this young man named Kakarot is twenty-three years old this year. He was born and grew up in the south. He started practicing martial arts since he was a child, learning skills from a well-known warrior in the south, and living in the south all year round.
That place in the southern swamp area is not a paradise suitable for living.
Quite the opposite.
In the remote southeastern part of the Roland continent, there is a large swamp. The climate is hot and humid, and it rains almost half of the year. There are also miasmas and toxic fog in the swamp that are difficult for humans to endure. There are also many poisonous places.
Plants... More importantly, the swamp in the south is a very rare place in the entire Roland continent where Warcraft can be found!
On the Roland Continent, it is recognized that there are areas with frequent activities of Warcraft. One is the frozen forest in the north, and the other is the swamp in the south. Of course...it is said that there are sporadic Warcraft in the Kilimaro Mountains. But they are very few.
It can almost be ignored.
The swamps in the south are the favorite place for mercenary groups besides the frozen forest. However, in terms of the quantity and quality of monsters, the swamps in the south are one level worse than the frozen forests in the north. Most of the monsters there are
Some low-level things, unlike the frozen forests in the north, where high-level monsters appear.
Therefore, if you are a poaching group, then the north may be more attractive to you, because it is difficult to sell the Warcraft produced in the south at a high price.
Therefore, the two main battle legions guarding the border areas of the empire, the Storm Legion in the north, are at a higher level than the legions in the south in terms of combat effectiveness, equipment, and treatment. The Storm Legion is stationed at the edge of the frozen forest and has a heavy responsibility.
.In comparison, the Southern Legion was responsible for guarding the southern swamps and was much more relaxed.
Haven't you seen that the Empire has repeatedly disbanded the Southern Army over the years?
But...even so, no one dares to look down upon the swampy area in the south!
There is only one reason, because the swamp in the south is the only area on the entire continent that produces a special kind of magical beast!
This kind of monster is the only one among all the types of monsters known so far that lives in groups! (Other than that, most monsters live alone.)
This kind of thing has sharp claws, powerful and terrifying physical strength, and... the ability to fly!
This kind of thing is a griffin!
This large monster has a huge eagle head, and its sharp beak can easily peck through a warrior's armor! The sharp claws on its limbs can easily tear a cow into pieces, and... they also have strong wings.
, when the wings are vibrating, the strong wind can knock down an adult strong man! In terms of strength, an adult griffon can easily grab a sheep, fly into the sky, and then drop it!
At the same time, you must not assume that you can use ordinary bows and arrows to deal with these things that come and go like the wind, because ordinary bows and arrows cannot cause damage to such things at all. When they fly, their wings vibrate with the strong wind.
Most of the arrows were swept away! What's more, this kind of thing is covered with feathers... The strength of those feathers is comparable to the Empire's light armor!
Most adult griffins also have wind magic, although it is a low-level wind blade technique. Moreover, the roar of griffins has a dizzying effect.
...Considering that this kind of thing is a social creature, if it encounters a group of hundreds or thousands of griffins, even a division of troops will definitely choose to retreat and avoid them!
Therefore, although most of the monsters produced in the southern swamps are of inferior quantity and quality, the empire still maintains a legion of troops at the edge of the swamp just to defend against this large and ferocious aerial overlord.
If he had to count, Du Wei should have "seen" a griffin, just before he met Vivian outside Banjiao City in the south. However, the griffin he saw that time was...
The illusion that the fearful phantom monster transformed into.
But even so, the griffin's ferocity was enough to leave a deep impression on Du Wei.
In fact... Du Wei has been thinking about this kind of thing a long time ago.
That was when Duwei established the Decepticon Air Team and began to conceive of the future air force of the empire!
There is no doubt that the griffon, a ferocious aerial monster, is the most suitable creature in the world to serve as an aerial knight's mount as Du Wei knows!!
They are ferocious enough, powerful enough, and fly fast enough. And... their own power is very powerful.
However, after studying the nature of this magical beast, Du Wei quickly gave up this plan.
The reason is very simple. Monsters like griffons are cruel and... cunning by nature!
Moreover, they live in groups and cannot move alone. Therefore, it is very difficult to capture such a cruel big guy!
If faced with a group of griffons, even a group of warriors would have no choice but to flee, let alone capture a group of them!
Of course, if you can have a strong saint-level person in charge, you can capture a few of them. But the problem is that this kind of griffon has another characteristic, which is: it is extremely difficult to tame!
Extremely difficult, very, very difficult!!
Du Wei found a record in some ancient documents that interested him very much: Du Wei's previous life, during the reign of the empire's founding emperor Aragorn, had organized a large-scale griffon hunting operation.
.
With Aragorn's powerful strength and his experienced founding army, he finally succeeded in capturing hundreds of griffins.
After Du Wei read this news, he immediately understood: This person in his previous life had the same idea as himself, wanting to tame this kind of thing to form an air force! Moreover, after adult griffins proved to be untamable,
Aragorn obviously wants to tame the gryphon cubs from birth...
It's a pity that none of the captured griffins can be tamed! No matter whether they are big or small! After being locked in a cage for a few days, all of them starved to death, even the magicians of the empire.
There is no way to solve this problem.
Because most of the Warcraft, magicians can sign soul contracts with them and tame them as magic pets... of course griffins can also be used. However... griffins must be in groups to be intimidating!
But only magicians can control griffins, ordinary soldiers have absolutely no way!
We can't let all the magicians in the empire change careers to become aerial cavalry!
This ferocious creature is the recognized overlord of the southern swamp areas.
As for people living in the swamp areas of the south, people there have a custom that many local warriors will carve gryphon patterns on their weapons, such as shields or swords!
If you are in the south and see someone carving this pattern on a long sword or shield, then you must respect this person! Because according to the customs in the southern swamp areas, you are qualified to leave this pattern on the weapon.
The iconic warriors are all true masters who have experienced life-and-death battles with groups of griffins and come back alive!
In the south, those who can encounter groups of ferocious griffons and are lucky enough to come back alive will be considered a sign of strength!
Another reason why Du Wei is suddenly very interested in this griffin is that the information in his hand shows that this young man named Kakarot has lived in the southern swamp area for many years, and he is
Someone who is qualified to print gryphon patterns on weapons!
In the previous competition. In the preliminaries, Kakarot did not even use weapons and defeated his opponent with bare hands. In the rematch, the weapons he used were...a short spear and a shield. On the shield,
I got a tattoo of a leaping gryphon!
Du Wei looked at the hourglass in the room and suddenly said to himself: "It's time... I hope this guy won't be late. I don't like guys who don't stick to time."
Just as Du Wei finished speaking, the old servant Dov's rude voice came from the courtyard outside: "Delong, someone is looking for you!"
