Chapter 62 Griffin Riding
"Ren, Milton graduated from Bruvorts Academy. Like you, he is a rare school of wizards. He is a wizard of spirits. You are a combat wizard. You can have a good exchange between the two."
Pollock introduced with a smile.
Milton said with a humble look on his face, "I am almost thirty years old and I have only reached the second-level wizard. I am not as strong as I dare to compete with Rennes."
"That's better than me, actually I don't even know a spell, haha..." Renn told the truth in a joke.
Everyone laughed, and no one believed Rennes' words.
Sure enough, sometimes no one believes the truth.
Renn muttered in his heart, and at the same time he became somewhat suspicious of Milton.
Milton was obviously a third-level wizard, but he told his teammates that he was second-level. When he mentioned his level, his soul color changed quickly, and his mood fluctuated significantly. He was obviously lying and hiding a lot of things.
Although Milton did not show hostility, his nervousness was a bit abnormal.
The other teammates are in normal mood, why is he like this?
Unless it is guilty.
Renn asked curiously: "Milton, Bruvorts is a bit far from our Longshande. How could you join the Demon Elimination Team at Longshande?"
Bruvorts is both a big city and the most famous extraordinary academy in the empire, probably not one of them.
This extraordinary academy is located in the capital of Easter, the eastern province of the empire. It has a very long history and can be traced back to the early days of this era and is even older than the empire. Although the current dean is not a holy soul wizard, he is also a powerful and legendary wizard with high virtue and high-profile students all over the world. He is known as the number one person under the holy soul and may advance at any time.
Generally, students who graduate from Bruvorts either stay in East, head north to Northrier, or go south to the most prosperous Modu, which is difficult to meet in Longshande.
Milton looked at Alberna beside him, his eyes full of affection. Alberna looked back at him shyly, with a very sweet expression.
Renn immediately guessed the reason, and it was another clichéd love story.
Pollock replied to Milton: "Milton graduated from college and was going to travel to the empire and gain knowledge. Last year, he met Alberna when he passed by Longshande and was captured by our beautiful Alberna, so he stayed, hahaha..."
Milton nodded with a smile and leaned tightly with Alberna.
"Oh, don't show off in front of us, hurry up and open a room!"
"That's right, I can't stand it anymore..."
The teammates all started to make excuses and joked about the lovers.
Ren also made a few jokes, but he became even more confused.
This is indeed a pair of lovers with deep feelings. Judging from the color of the soul, Alberna loves Milton very much, but Milton does not respond the same way.
His soul is only light green, which means a certain degree of love, but not deep on the edge of love.
At least, Milton didn't love his lover as much as he seemed.
Concealing strength and disguising feelings, what is the purpose of this wizard of all spirits?
Rennes secretly guessed that because there was too little information to judge, he could only remember this matter and be careful. He should be more vigilant when he contacted Milton in the future.
After that, everyone chatted and laughed and ate, and Renn became familiar with his teammates.
Hargrove, who had a bit of prejudice against Rennes, had a few glasses of wine and forced himself to compete with Rennes.
Rennes intends to let the water go, and the two win and lose each other, which surprised Hargrove and was both proud. He immediately called Rennes brothers, and he was almost no longer a confidant.
A welcome banquet was very fulfilling.
Rennes secretly used the Soul Eye to roughly understand the personalities of his teammates.
Needless to say, Captain Pollock has been in contact with him several times and is a very enthusiastic and good-looking man.
Hargrove is a typical berserker, a simple-minded reckless man; because Frida is a holy swordsman and believes in the god of justice, he has a somewhat old-fashioned personality and speaks cautiously, but he does not lose the heroic spirit of a young woman. As long as she does not violate the doctrine and the law in front of her, she is a person who is easy to get along with.
The shadow warrior Eli is a very common young man, who likes to play and make fun of him, and is lively and cheerful.
However, Renn noticed that he had a crush on Alberna, and his mood would dim every time he glanced at Alberna and Milton.
But Eli covered it up very well. If Renn had no Soul Eye, he wouldn't have discovered this little secret.
Alberna looks like a woman in love, has a shy personality, and almost all her attention is on Milton and rarely speaks.
The one who couldn't see through Rennes the most was Milton, who was very scheming and had different opinions.
But on the surface, Milton gives people the impression that he is steady and funny, has extensive knowledge, has his own opinions on many things, and often talks about it, which is very consistent with the identity of a wizard.
In comparison, Rennes seems a little worse.
Perhaps apart from being handsome and strong, Milton is better in other aspects.
The welcome banquet lasted until very late. At the end, Renn insisted on paying the bill himself, because he had just received a bounty.
The cost is not much, less than a golden shield, but this move has won more favor from his teammates.
The next morning, after meditation, Rennes came to the Demon Removal Team.
Last night, I agreed to captain Pollock to learn griffin riding today.
In the large stable next to the martial arts training ground, there were already people waiting. His hair was gray, his forehead was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were drooping. He looked over fifty years old, wearing leather armor and carrying a large bucket of fresh meat in his hands.
"You are Rennes?" the old man asked.
"It's me, Mr. Martin." Renne greeted respectfully.
He learned from Pollock that the griffins of the Demons were tamed by this old Martin, and everyone who wanted to learn riding would ask him for advice.
Renn looked at it with the eyes of soul and found that the old Martin was also an extraordinary person, his profession was a ranger, but he was only at level 2, and his soul status was very poor, even worse than the extraordinary person who had just transformed his soul.
Extraordinary people will also age, decrease their strength and decline their souls as they age.
However, Old Martin looks good in spirit, much better than ordinary old people.
Due to the torture of the Blood Soul Curse, ordinary people will suffer from their physical and mental conditions at the age of fifty, and they will basically lose their labor force at the age of sixty and basically live to be seventy.
Old Martin was also looking at Rennes, his eyes were still clear, not as turbid as ordinary old people, nodding and said, "Come with me."
Rennes and he entered the stable.
A burst of roars sounded, and this roar was different from that of ordinary beasts. When they heard it, they felt inexplicable fear in their hearts, as if they were shocked by the roars.
According to the sound, the stables were divided into partitions and extended out in a whole row. Each partition was about ten square meters in size, which was very spacious.
In the interval, there is a strange giant beast living.
Rennes has seen it in the academy's textbooks and the book of Thousand Souls, and it is the griffin.
They are a combination of eagles and lions. The upper body is the head and wings of an eagle, the lower body is the body and claws of a lion. The main body is nearly three meters, and if the lion's tail is added, it will be more than four meters. The rear body is muscled and the front half is covered with brown feathers, majestic and majestic, emitting a dangerous aura.
There were twelve griffins in the stables, some lying on the ground to rest, and some walking around in the intervals, seemingly very excited.
Four workers are cleaning the griffin.
Griffon weighs more than a thousand pounds and is a giant in people's eyes.
The workers were stuffed with cotton in their ears to avoid being frightened by the roar of griffons. They were careful and carefully cared for every feather and every inch of their skin, just like they were most precious horses.
Renn observed the griffins with the eyes of the soul and found that they were all first-level monsters.
There is only one element in the soul of the griffin, called "Spiritual Scream". This is why their roars have a shocking effect and is also their means to prey on prey.
Renne was a little excited. He hadn't ridden a horse in his two lives, let alone a griffin.
Old Martin walked into a partition, and the griffin inside saw him, and immediately bent down and rubbed against him.
"You come in too, don't be afraid."
Old Martin stroked the griffin with his hands, and his eyes showed a comfortable look and soon made a purring sound, as gentle as a pet cat.
Renn was not very afraid of griffins. The initial monsters did not pose much threat to him. Even if they were bitten by griffins, they would not lose a piece of meat.
He approached the past and, at Old Martin's gesture, placed his hand on the griffin.
The griffin immediately reacted and turned to look at Rennes, with a little vigilant in his eyes. The huge eagle head sniffed in front of Rennes, but under the comfort of Old Martin, he gradually relaxed.
"You feed it some horse meat."
Old Martin instructed: "I didn't feed this griffin in the morning, so I asked you to feed it and get close to it."
Renn knew that griffins liked horse meat the most, so he lifted the big bucket on the ground and used iron tongs to pick up a large piece of fresh horse meat and sent it to the griffin's mouth.
It was confused for a moment, but in the end it could not resist the temptation of food and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
"Continue to feed." Old Martin ordered.
Renn did as he did. The griffin had a lot of appetite. This large bucket of horse meat was more than 30 pounds. It was eaten all of it in a few minutes. He was still full of interest and looked at Renn expectantly.
"Okay, don't feed it too much, you keep touching it."
Old Martin knew the temperament of griffons very well. He took a set of leather locks like safety ropes from the wall next to him and put them on Rennes. There is a metal buckle at the end of the safety rope, which can be buckled on the griffon's saddle to prevent accidents from falling from the sky.
"Newcomers must tie safety ropes. When you become proficient in the future, you won't have to worry about it."
Maladin asked Renne to climb onto the griffin's back, fasten the rope, and then explain to him how to control the griffin's flight.
Because it is flying in the sky and is more stable than horses running on the ground, griffin riding is easier than riding a horse.
These griffins have been trained for a long time, and they send flying instructions through their ventral collisions. For example, kicking the left foot means turning left, turning right foot, clamping the legs means diving downward, etc.
If you are familiar with griffins, you can command them directly with passwords.
Rennes practiced on the ground several times, and soon mastered these instructions and cooperated well with the griffin.
With the help of Old Martin, Renne rode out of the stable on the griffin, took a deep breath, calmed down, and patted it on the back.
Chapter completed!
