Chapter five hundred and thirty second [feeding blood]
Chapter 532 [Feeding Blood]
Kakarot became a rising star in the imperial capital.
As the final winner of the tournament, he received a bonus of 100,000 gold coins and the title of an eighth-level knight. Although based on his strength, his true strength is only level seven. But after all, as the symbol of the revitalized Knights Association, Roland
The leader of the Sword Knights, level 7 seems a bit too shabby.
Therefore, President Delong gave him an eighth-level title with a stroke of his pen.
Moreover, Kakarot is very young, handsome, powerful, and popular. He has naturally become a very popular figure in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. At the same time, everyone knows that Kakarot seems to have a good relationship with Duke Tulip.
.
The current strength of the Knights of Roland's Sword is fifty. Of course, after the celebration in the square that day, Elu quietly withdrew from the Knights and left quietly. Therefore, after soliciting Du
After Wei's advice, the knights added a new member to replace the position left by Elu.
Malone! The guy with great strength who once fought against the Knight Commander Randall of the Holy Knights in the ring, the savage-like warrior who once killed a nest of black bears with his bare hands, was absorbed into this Knights.
inside.
By the way, according to Du Wei's private judgment, he even felt that this Ma Long was probably one of the strongest warriors in the knights... It's just that he was unlucky and met that man early in the game.
Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights.
But if he was really strong and fought, Kakarot might not necessarily be able to defeat this Malone.
In addition, Du Wei is very interested in this Malone, because this guy's physical strength is ridiculously strong. Among the people Du Wei has ever seen, only the lion-like guy called Rhine adopted by Archbishop Maximus can do this.
Comparable.
No matter what, the Continental Knights Association became famous thanks to this martial arts tournament. More importantly, this martial arts tournament triggered a trend of martial arts practice in the empire, whether it was following the trend or joining in the fun. In short,
, even the young nobles in the imperial capital are now fashionable to show up in warrior attire. The luxurious noble attire that was popular in the past has been abandoned and replaced by a variety of warrior uniforms.
More importantly, the Knights Association earned enough funds from this game. The Duke of Tulip generously donated a hundred high-quality horses and gave them to the Knights of the Sword of Roland as mounts for the knights.
When Du Wei returned to the imperial capital from the north after completing official duties, he was told that Mr. Knight Kakarot had been visiting for three consecutive days. The young man would wait for half a day in the Tulip Duke's Mansion every day.
time.
"Master Gabri likes that guy very much. He often drags Mr. Kakarot to practice martial arts."
Sandy, the young butler, personally led Duwei's horse and said with a smile: "Mr. Kakarot came early today, and I'm afraid he's still in Master Gabri's yard now."
Du Wei nodded: "Is Hussein back?"
"He's back." Sandy nodded: "He should be in your study now."
Du Wei smiled slightly after hearing this and said to his young butler Sandy: "Go and ask Knight Kakarot to come see me and go to my study."
Hussein lived in another room in the courtyard of Duwei's study.
Although he has gotten rid of the annoying wanted order, the habit of living in seclusion he has developed over the past few years has not been changed at once.
When Du Wei returned to the study, he saw Hussein wiping his armor in the yard. The paladin's expression was serious and serious, and he looked meticulous.
"Did you know?" Du Wei smiled and said, "As a senior knight, you should have several retinues. Work such as cleaning armor or taking care of horses should not be done by yourself."
Hussein raised his head and watched Du Wei walk in. He was not too surprised and said calmly: "What you told me is done. I put the things you asked for on your table."
"Well, is everything going well?" Du Wei nodded.
"It went very well. No one knew that I did it. It's just that... this guy really seems to deserve to die."
"Oh?" Duweido asked.
"When I killed him, he was using violence... to bully a woman."
Du Wei nodded: "Okay, friend. Put down your armor... You don't need to wipe this set of things. In fact, I have prepared some good things for you. I have to meet a guest first. I will take care of that in a moment."
I’ll give you a set. Well...throw away these scraps of metal in your hands."
Du Wei blinked and smiled proudly.
When Kakarot was invited to Duwei's study by Little Sandy, the young man's expression showed a hint of excitement.
The door was closed, and Duwei sat behind the table, looking at Kakarot who was a little nervous: "Okay, I think you know why I invited you here. I promised you, and now I can fulfill it.
.”
As he said that, Du Wei pointed to a square wooden box placed on a table: "The thing you want is over there."
"I know that you actually prefer to do it yourself. But... that would be too time-consuming. Although I can help you, after all, you don't have an official position yet, but only have a little bit of status and wealth. It depends on
If you deal with a local garrison commander by yourself, you will have to fight for at least a few years. But we don't have time..." Du Wei looked at Kakarot seriously: "I need your secret! It's very important!
"
Kakarot took a deep breath, walked to the table, lifted the lid of the wooden box, and took a look.
Inside is a head, and in order to prevent rot, lime has been sprinkled inside, but his original appearance can still be seen.
Seeing the human head in the box, Kakarot's expression suddenly became very complicated. His eyes were full of excitement. After carefully identifying it, he closed the lid.
"You can take it away." Du Wei smiled and said, "Whatever you want to do with it."
"I owe you." Kakarot stared at Duwei: "You helped me take revenge, so I owe you a lot."
"I need the secret about the gryphon." Du Wei sighed: "You just need to tell me that and it will be repaid."
Kakarot immediately took out a shabby-looking book from his arms: "It's all in there. These are the notes left by my teacher during his lifetime."
He placed the booklet on Du Wei's table and looked into Du Wei's eyes: "Your Majesty, from now on, my life is also yours. I swear on my soul that I am willing to be loyal to you for the rest of my life!"
"Actually, you don't need this." Du Wei sighed.
"I know that for a big man like you, you don't care about the allegiance of a small character like me. But I still have to do it. I swore an oath." Kakarot said seriously: "You help
I fulfilled my greatest wish in this life and avenged my great revenge."
The stubborn young man said this, picked up the wooden box, bowed deeply to Du Wei, and then strode away.
Watching the young man leave, Du Wei just sighed and immediately started flipping through the booklet...
This booklet is not just various research on griffons, in Du Wei's view, it is also the notes of a nature lover who is extremely unusual in this era... just like those National Geographic programs he saw in his previous life.
.
In fact, the secret about griffons is not as complicated as imagined. The main reason why Aragorn failed was because the griffin cubs he captured used the wrong feeding method. All the cubs starved to death.
.
And this booklet reveals the secrets of the gryphon, this magical creature!
Griffons, this creature is egg-laying rather than viviparous.
A griffin has a lifespan of about twenty years. A two-year-old griffin, even if it is basically an adult, can have strong strength, strong wings, sharp claws... and can also reproduce.
An adult griffon can lay four to six eggs, which incubate in about four months.
The biggest secret is the first feeding of the newly hatched griffon cub after birth!
According to the notes left by Kakarot’s teacher, this guy who was obsessed with griffin research once lurked in a griffin colony in the southern swamp for a long time, risking his life, and discovered such a
A scene...
When a young griffon has just hatched out of its shell, the adult griffin will feed for the first time, and this feeding has special meaning! It is also because of this feeding that the young griffin
.Have the ability to identify who is one's "parents"!
Kakarot's teacher witnessed an adult griffon feeding its cub for the first time. It was not feeding the meat of the hunted prey into the cub's mouth as people imagined... but...
,Blood!
"It pricked its own claws and dripped the blood flowing from its claws into the cub's mouth... I was shocked when I witnessed this scene! I have never heard of this kind of feeding method, let alone seen it.
Yes! What I mean is that many creatures in this world, such as cattle, sheep, and horses, feed their young with milk, and birds use captured prey...Humans also use milk. But griffins...this
Such a ferocious thing actually uses its own blood to feed its cubs!"
For this reason, young griffins that taste the blood of their parents have a scent recognition and they refuse to eat any other food! They only drink the blood of their parents!
A griffon needs to drink the blood of its parents for about two months, and then they meet to "wean off" the blood, just like a human being "weaning off".
During this special "nurturing" period, the adult male griffon will frequently hunt prey, while the female griffon will become weak due to blood loss and remain in the nest. All food must be provided by the male griffin.
supply.
"Obviously, His Majesty, the founding emperor a thousand years ago, made a mistake in the way of feeding the young griffons. He had people feed the young griffons meat... But he did not know that the young griffons did not eat such things at all.
They only drink blood, their mother’s blood!”
"After drinking blood for two months, the young griffons will grow bigger, and then they will stop drinking blood. The two-month-old griffons have already grown teeth, but at this time, they have learned to identify who is who.
They are their own parents, and they only eat the prey brought back by their parents. At this time, if someone else feeds them, they will refuse to eat. After one year old, the young griffons begin to try to hunt, and will try to follow the griffins in hunting.
When the food brigade is dispatched, when the griffon cub is about two years old, even if it is an adult, it will be kicked out of the nest by its parents and start a new family."
"According to my guess, if you want to tame this kind of beast, then there may be a way. The first way is to quietly get a few griffin eggs, and then feed it other things when it is born, so that the baby can
The griffon believes that the person feeding it is its parent. Otherwise, it will not eat any other food at all...The failure of Emperor Aragorn was due to this reason."
"Our biggest problem is how to get the little griffons to eat without them all starving to death. As long as we keep them alive, it shouldn't be too difficult to tame these things. As long as we solve this problem, we can do it!"
Du Wei closed the booklet. The handwriting on it was scrawled and messy, and the notes were rough. It was obvious that Kakarot's teacher was not highly educated. But the content of this booklet was of great value to Du Wei.
Thousands of gold!
"It seems that we need griffon eggs." Du Wei sighed.
But gryphon eggs are not easy to get! Those ferocious gregarious beasts, even if you send a large number of troops, it will be difficult to defeat them...
As a last resort, Du Wei invited Hussein.
"I'm sorry, my friend, I have to trouble you again... to go to the south again." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I need you to help me bring back some griffon eggs. They must be complete. The more the better."
