From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

According to Yan, the place where he lives is called the Holy Beast Island, and this name has been passed down from generation to generation by the residents on the island.

The so-called "holy beast" refers to the tribe living on the island in the lake in the center of the island.

Its appearance is unique and unusual, as if it is a perfect fusion of two animals, a lion and an eagle.

Moreover, the body of the holy beast is huge and extremely strong, and its whole body is covered with a layer of dazzling golden fur.

Its head is very similar to that of an eagle, with an extremely hard beak, and most of its body is more like a lion, with sharp claws and a tail.

Yan once had close contact with the holy beast, and what impressed him most was the eyes of the holy beast.

Those eyes were like burning flames, exuding powerful power and extraordinary wisdom, so Yan was very sure that the holy beast was different from ordinary wild beasts. The holy beast had wisdom and could communicate with people.

The most fascinating thing about the holy beast is its broad and huge wings. When the holy beast flies in the sky, it is simply a visual feast!

Listening to Yan's story, Kroeber felt more and more that this so-called "holy beast" seemed to be the one he had seen in the book "The Complete Book of Warcraft Biological Habits".

"Does the holy beast you are talking about usually catch prey with the claws of its forelimbs, and the feathers on its wings are iron or silver?"

Yan, who was interrupted, was not angry, and said blankly:

"How did you know?"

Kroeber was now sure that the "holy beast" Yan was talking about was a griffin.

Griffins, when they grow up, have the strength of intermediate-level Warcraft. They are a monogamous Warcraft race that generally lives in families and can give birth to two to three babies per litter on average.

The most important point is that griffins belong to the Warcraft tribe that can be tamed. Although this process is full of challenges and difficulties, as long as it succeeds, Kroeber will master an extremely powerful air force.

On weekdays, griffins stand on four legs. If the length of their tails is not counted, their bodies are roughly 2-3 meters long, and their wings are about 7-8 meters wide when spread out.

Male griffins are relatively heavier, weighing about 1,000 kilograms; while female griffins are much lighter, weighing only about one-third of males, about 700 kilograms.

Griffins have a very long lifespan, which means that their strength will gradually increase with the passage of time.

Intermediate magic beast-level griffins can usually live for about 300 years, which is similar to the lifespan of human knights.

However, once promoted to high-level magic beasts, the lifespan of griffins will increase sharply to 600 years, which is equivalent to the minimum lifespan of human sky knights.

When they reach the level of top magic beasts, they have a lifespan of up to 1,000 years, which is equal to the lifespan of human fantasy beast knights.

According to incomplete statistics from the Council of Scholars, excluding the individuals who died young, most griffins will safely enter the high-level magic beast level, half of the griffins will become top magic beasts, and the success rate of becoming a fantasy beast is about 10%.

Being able to be domesticated, having a long lifespan, and having a high success rate of becoming a fantasy beast are almost synonymous with perfection.

But unfortunately, as the overlord of the sky second only to the dragon, the griffin has a proud character that is almost the same as the dragon. They will almost instinctively refuse any life to ride on their backs. If you want to ride a griffin, you must start training from childhood, and the long growth period and high cost of taming the griffin are enough to drag down most nobles.

But this does not affect the value of the griffin. Originally, there were griffins living in the Moyi Forest, but since the beginning of the Western Expedition, the number of monsters in the Moyi Forest has become less and less, and for flying monsters like griffins, changing a habitat is really a simple matter.

Griffins are very vigilant. If they encounter an unmatched enemy, they will immediately flee from their original habitat and look for a new place.

Seeing that Krober did not intend to respond to his question, Yan had to continue to introduce the situation of the Holy Beast Island.

Out of respect and fear for the holy beast, the Sea People Tribe usually does not go deep into the forest to hunt, but relies on fishing and planting some crops to ensure survival.

However, due to the rapid increase in the population of the tribe in recent years, they dared not go too deep into the forest, so they could only gather dozens of the strongest people in the tribe to explore new islands. After a period of drifting, they came to the so-called Three Daughters Islands, and the things that happened later happened.

After listening to Yan's explanation, Krober raised his eyebrows:

"Then why did you tell me so much? Do you want me to spare your life?"

After hearing this, Yan was silent for a moment, and then said embarrassedly:

"I... I talked to Ethan before, and he introduced me to your powerful country. Your... elves, yes, elves, can grow more food to fill my stomach and my people, so I want to join you and become your people."

Ethan? Hearing this name, Krober showed a trace of doubt on his face. He turned his head to look at Haier beside him, as if waiting for his explanation.

Seeing this, Hyer quickly replied: "Sir, Ethan is the pirate leader who was once executed by Lord Foster."

Oh~ Kroeber nodded without comment, indicating that he understood. His eyes fell on Yan again, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but soon returned to indifference.

He gently patted Yan's shoulder and said in a heavy tone:

"Chief, I am very sorry. However, as the baron of Black Feather Island, I have the responsibility to protect every civilian living on the land of Black Feather Island. But you have brutally killed so many children of Black Feather Island. People, do you think I will forgive you?"

Krober's voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

Yan's face became very ugly, and he gritted his teeth.

"But didn't you just become the baron of that island? We carried out the robbery before you, and it doesn't seem to conflict with your responsibility to protect your people."

"?"

Krober's eyes fell on the young man lying on the ground. He did not expect that this man actually heard Odyssey's voice reciting the Grand Duke's reward order there.

"Oh!"

"So what? What you are killing are the people of the principality after all. As a subject of the Grand Duke, I naturally have to abide by the laws established by the Grand Duke."

Krober chuckled. This guy named Yan is indeed a little clever, but that's it. If he doesn't have anything valuable, then there is no need to waste his time here.

Looking at the back of Krober who was about to get up and leave, Yan's face became even more impatient.

"Wait a minute, my lord, if I can give you a clue about the flying elf, are you willing to let go of my people and accept them as your people?"

oh? An elf that can fly?

That's at least an elf!

This group of savages did not dare to go deep into the forest because of the griffons, so they did not know the existence of elves. This was the first time they heard the word elves today.

In other words, the interior of the forest on Holy Beast Island is still an undeveloped treasure land.

This is really an unexpected surprise.

Could it be that today is really his lucky day?

Thinking of this, Krober suddenly remembered the fear Yan showed when he saw the fighting spirit on his body before, so he asked.

And Yan also honestly told the reason.

In their tribe, there has always been a legend circulating.

Legend has it that the entire world was built by the Poseidon. On the island that is favored by the Poseidon, there will be a stone tablet engraved with Dou Qi skills.

When the tribe members reach adulthood, they will go to the stone monument to accept the test of the Poseidon.

After completing the actions recorded on the stone tablet three times, those who experience obvious physical enhancement are equivalent to passing the test.

After gaining the approval of Poseidon, this group of people only need to persist in these actions every day to get "Poseidon's favor".

The favor of the Poseidon will produce a powerful energy in their bodies, and the color of the energy is the same as the sea. People in the tribe unanimously believe that this is the power given to them by the Poseidon.
