Magic Underachiever

Volume 2 Chapter 210 Royal Griffin

Although Jessica had visited Griffin City when she came to this city, she was still full of curiosity about this city from the ancient magic era.

Every step here is closer to history than the ancient ruins she and Sir Charles unearthed.

Unlike Saroyan, which is polluted by industry, the air in the entire Griffin City exudes a fresh smell, and every breath is a complete enjoyment. The road in the middle of the city is paved with smooth bluestones. There is a slight bump when the carriage rides on it, but it also has a different feeling.

Jessica sat in the carriage and looked at the roads on both sides through the window.

The houses in the city are all in the human style of the ancient magic era. Large square rocks are built into square houses, and then the walls are painted with lime. Most of the houses have flat roofs and a wall built around them, which is related to the frequent wars that broke out in the ancient magic era. The human race is not a newly powerful race, so the human race attaches great importance to defense. Most of the time, the human race army forms a neat armored square formation on the battlefield.

People in Griffin City are very busy, and it is almost impossible to see the adults wandering the streets during the day. More and more industries and factories are located in the tomb, leaving the place in a constant labor shortage.

"Teacher Vincent..." After a group of dwarves riding war bears passed by the carriage, Jessica couldn't help asking Vincent: "Is this really the city of the King of Destruction? He is a demon... ...but this is a human city, and I also saw dwarves, elves, orcs...but also undead and hellish creatures.

How did they live together? "

Vincent replied: "Your Highness, I want to correct one thing first...the King of Destruction is not a demon."

"He...he's not a demon."

Vincent explained: "The Demon King of Destruction is actually the leader of the fire elemental creature. Although he looks very much like a hell creature, elemental creatures and hell creatures are fundamentally different. The Demon King of Destruction is just one of the many identities of the owner. The master has a very prominent position in multiple planes.

Therefore, the entire world of order respects him very much. "

Hearing that Mieshi turned out to be a fire elemental creature, Jessica asked again: "Fire element? Cindy once told me that there is an air elemental elf beside me. If I can summon it, the air elemental elf will It will become an elemental creature."

Vincent replied: "Elemental elves are a kind of ignorant elemental creature. They instinctively get close to people who have a high affinity for a certain element. Just like..."

As he spoke, Vincent opened his palms, and the fire element ball that had been surrounding him fell into his palms. A pair of wings composed of flames spread out, and the fire element ball turned into a fire bird emitting flames. Vincent continued: "This is the fire bird that lives with me. It is unpredictable what kind of elemental creature the elemental elf will evolve into. It has a lot to do with the environment in which it grows and its own qualifications. The air elemental elf follows When you are around, it will not only improve your ability to learn and use air magic, but also connect with you to achieve a symbiotic relationship.

Therefore, your efforts determine what your air elemental elf will look like after evolving into an elemental creature?

Study magic seriously and become a magician that makes your master proud of you. "

Realizing that Vincent was lecturing her again, Jessica hurriedly said: "I usually work really hard. Tutor... I just occasionally got distracted today because the griffons in the sky are so beautiful.

By the way, you said you would take me to Griffin Cliff, are you almost there? "

After successfully changing the subject, Vincent looked outside and saw that the carriage had left the city and was heading towards a towering cliff.

Griffins live in groups on the steepest cliffs and have a very strong sense of territory. It is very dangerous to break into the territory of griffins in the wild. Even domesticated griffins must be led by a professional griffin trainer before they can get close to the griffin group.

Griffin Cliff is an important military location, and the cultivation of griffins here also takes into account the function of training royal griffins. The craftsmen relied on the hard cliff to carve out a barracks that ran up and down the griffon cliff. Horizontal roads connected each griffon nest, making it easier for griffin trainers to understand the situation of each griffin.

After showing the pass order, the carriage drove through the gate of the barracks and entered the interior of Griffin Cliff.

Behind the gate of the barracks is an open patio with a height of 600 meters. A spiral staircase spirals upward along the wall. I don't know how long it takes to take the stairs from the bottom to the top. But this is the interior of Griffin Cliff, and the sound of griffons can be heard endlessly. The soldiers and trainers stationed here each have a royal griffon, and they can fly directly to that level if they want to. Even if you need to transport heavy supplies, you can apply to use the transmission system of the Great Tomb.

Seeing the carriage coming from the Holy Magic Dragon Academy, the commander of the Griffin Cliff garrison immediately greeted it. Wearing knight armor, he recognized Vincent who stepped off the carriage, and immediately saluted forward and said: "Dear Master Vincent, welcome to Griffin Cliff. If there is anything you need me to do for you, please feel free to ask. "

Vincent pointed at Jessica who was looking around curiously and introduced: "This is Princess Jessica. Your Majesty arranged for Princess Jessica to study at the Holy Magic Dragon Academy, with me as her magic instructor.

Her Royal Highness the Princess likes griffins very much.

I think as a princess of the human royal family, she should have a royal griffon of her own. "

Jessica's identity has been known to everyone in the Great Tomb. The human race in the ancient magic era was a lawful race and recognized that father's inheritance was inherited by sons. After a family swore an oath, they could be loyal to another family for hundreds or thousands of years. Daliang is the owner of everyone and everything in the tomb, and the descendants he recognizes are the heirs of this wealth.

All the human residents in the big tomb, after learning that Jessica was recognized, were happy for the continuation of the Feichen royal family.

The knight immediately knelt down on one knee to Jessica, raised his chest and lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for my rudeness just now. As your Majesty's knight, I failed to recognize you... It was my dereliction of duty."

Jessica, who was admiring the majestic Griffin Cliff, immediately became at a loss when she saw the knight kneeling down. She said in a panic: "No, no, no... I came here without prior notice. It's rude of me. Please don't Mindful of my identity, remember that not long ago... I was a very ordinary person.

Get up quickly, you don’t need to be so polite in the future, I strongly advocate equality and freedom for everyone..."

Vincent said: "Your Highness Princess... you should know from your own experience that no one is equal, and some people are born noble.

After His Majesty recognizes your identity, you have completely distinguished yourself from your previous status. Whether you like it or not, the majesty of the royal family is reflected in various cumbersome etiquette.

The subjects who kneel to the royal family will not have any other bad thoughts, because the glory of the royal family is our glory. Your excessive humility will make him feel...this is your alienation from him.

His Majesty said that you need to learn court etiquette. I think it is very necessary. "

Jessica didn't want to say something casually to relieve her embarrassment, but she actually attracted another lecture from this old scholar.

The palace etiquette is terrifying just thinking about it.

But Jessica did not dare to refute Vincent, so she could only say: "I understand, Master Vincent...what do you think I should do now."

"Forgive him for his fault, and then let him bring here the best royal griffin."

Alas...it's not that easy to be a princess.

Jessica tried hard to adjust her manners and show what she imagined the princess should look like, and then said to the kneeling knight: "I forgive your rudeness, after all, this is the first time you see me. I like it very much." The gryphon soaring in the sky made me lose focus in magic class.

Master Vincent said that I should have a royal griffon of my own, so I will bring your best royal griffon here. "

"Yes, Your Highness Princess... Your kind heart is as beautiful as your appearance. Only the highest and most powerful royal griffon can match your kindness and noble status." Jessica's The understanding made the knight very happy. He spoke words of praise, then jumped on the back of a royal griffon and took off, choosing the griffin for Jessica himself.

After the knight left, Vincent smiled and said to Jessica: "Look...it's that simple. Remember that every move you make represents the royal family and your family. Every move you make and every word you say is In the eyes of others, it may be imagined and derived into many meanings, even if it is not what you want to express.

Although royal etiquette seems to be very... complicated, even harsh, it has been learned from generations of princes and nobles through lessons learned, and is used to teach noble children what to do in any situation.

And when you know how to respond to various events, then you can throw aside the court etiquette. "

Master Vincent really regarded Jessica as his disciple. Although Chun Chun's words were long-winded, every sentence expressed his care and love for the princess.

Jessica said helplessly: "Being a princess is really tiring!"

The knight, who was familiar with every corner of Griffin Cliff, did not spend much time bringing the five royal griffons to Jessica.

An adult royal griffon can exceed two meters in length, and a royal griffon suitable for riding needs to be at least two and a half meters long. Each of these five royal griffons is more than three meters long from beak to hip. They have thick and powerful lion hind legs, sharp front claws, fur exuding a golden color, manes and feathers as white as snow, and eagle heads as high as a king. Looking around, he looks majestic.

Griffins have very high intelligence. After training, royal griffons can communicate with griffin knights. Some royal griffons can even become heroic units, mastering magic power and being promoted to high-level positions.

After the knight introduced Jessica's identity to the royal griffons, the five royal griffons lowered their forelimbs to salute Jessica and made a submissive cry. This kind of brilliance and intelligence can never be seen in those captive griffins.

Thinking that one of the mighty royal griffons would become her mount, Jessica couldn't help but excitedly circle around the five royal griffins. The knight introduced the characteristics of each royal griffon and their personality to Jessica in detail.

"According to His Majesty's request, they are all undergoing flight training. Blue-fronted one is the best performer in various training subjects. It is a female griffon with a slightly docile personality. It is not as ferocious as other griffins, so it is more suitable for you, Your Highness."

The blue forehead the knight was talking about was a royal griffon with several light blue feathers on its head. Compared with other royal griffins, she was indeed much quieter.

Jessica also liked the blue feathers on the top of the blue forehead very much. She asked: "Flight training? Does the griffon need any flight training?"

The knight explained: "We all know that the outside world invented the silver wing, and our future enemies may come from the universe.

Facing increasingly advanced air opponents, the griffin obviously can no longer keep up with the pace of future war development.

But the griffin is the symbol of the human race and the pride of the human race. The human army without the griffin is soulless. Therefore, we are thinking about how to make the griffin fly higher and faster, so that it can become an important support for the human army even if it enters the interstellar space.

The demons who surrendered to your majesty brought the magic alchemy technology of the theocracy era, and our alchemy masters are also developing weapons suitable for griffin equipment.

Yes Compared to humans, griffins are natural birds of prey in the air. Their vision, brains, and body structure are all born for air combat. As long as there are magic and equipment suitable for griffins, no matter how good the human pilot is, he is no match for the worst griffin.

Now we are training griffins to adapt to the physical burden caused by high-speed flight. At high G-force, griffins perform far better than humans, and their ability to capture and react to high-speed targets is also very good. "

In the theocracy era, griffins put on magic backpacks and achieved super-high-speed flight under the protection of magic, continuing to serve as the main air force of the human race.

The same technology was brought into the Great Tomb by demons like Morris.

However, when Morris accepted the task of guarding the seal, the griffins had not yet entered space with the assistance of magic. This step still requires the Great Tomb Alchemy Laboratory to break through on its own.

Princess Zi Ling, who has been studying mechas, proposed the idea of ​​designing a set of alchemical mechas for griffins. The specific mecha style and flight technology are still under design, so the griffins can only do adaptive training in advance. For example, familiarize yourself with the weightless environment of space and learn to control flying machinery.

Although there were many difficulties during the training, the human race had an inseparable feeling for the griffins, and the companions who were unwilling to follow humans in battle for countless years were eliminated.

The knight sighed and said: "Your Highness, you may not understand why we are so stubborn. But as long as you live with your royal griffin for a while, you can feel the connection between humans and griffins. No matter what the world will develop into in the future, we believe that the griffins can keep flying, carrying the honor of the human race and protecting the human race's sky."
