When Kiel returned to the stronghold, several old hunters had already begun to cut off the other hind leg of the frozen wild boar meat, put it beside the fire to defrost, and prepared to open it to the old hunter who was stuck in the stronghold. open meat.
Just when everyone was busy, they were preparing to cut the thawed wild boar hind legs into dices, and then boil them together with whole wheat bread to make a pot of meaty broth.
In the sky, faintly, there was a flickering sound of wings flapping from small to large.
The old hunter who stayed behind slapped the wooden block and said loudly: "That's the sound, that's the sound. It's coming again, come out and see, is it the griffin you mentioned?"
Keel ran into the tent and woke up the young hunters who had just fallen asleep.
When he came out of the tent, he saw the old hunters looking up at the sky.
He also looked up.
High in the dark sky, a small black speck was flying high in the sky around the rocky mountain where they were now.
And as he watched, the little black dot was descending from the sky, and the sound of flapping wings became louder. He looked intently, and found that the thing was really a big animal, covered in yellow, with four strong and powerful claws under the body, and a pair of very large and powerful brown wings on the back.
On the top of the monster-like body was a huge eagle head. The long curved beak seemed to be one meter long, and the eyes on it were looking down at Keel and the others.
Everyone noticed that there was a set of leather saddles on the back of this griffin that could accommodate three riders. At this time, there were two riders wearing leather coats that were slim and tight, and they looked down at them like griffins.
It is estimated that considering that the rock passage where Kiel and the others are located is too narrow, the griffin did not land directly from the sky, but circled around the rock mountain, looking for a place to land.
The two riders on their backs exchanged gestures with gestures. They frequently pointed to the top of the rocky mountain, as if they wanted to land on the platform there.
That's right, either land in the open space below the mountain, or land on the top platform, and there seems to be no other place around where ferocious animals of that size can land.
In fact, the body of that griffin is not very big, as far as Zhao Ji observes, it is about the same size as a light truck in his previous life, that is, a light truck. It's just that the wings are too wide, almost like the rotors of a helicopter.
The noise is huge and requires an open space to take off and land.
"It's a griffin! It's really a griffin!"
"It's great! This is the first time I've seen such a handsome thing in my life."
"Are some of the heroes in the stories soaring into the sky on this thing? That said, although the heroes in the legends don't end up particularly well, they don't look bad when they perform epic feats."
Most of the young hunters expressed these opinions, but they were not afraid that the two riders on the back of the griffin would hurt them. After all, several counties in the northwestern border of the kingdom, including the entire Kendall County, rely on the border knights stationed by the empire in the north to resist the alien invasion outside the border, and the powerful monsters bred in the more barbaric environment outside the border.
Although in recent decades, the county's own knights have gradually replaced their seats, and the knights of the knight order who have been going high and low rarely travel to other places. However, residents who have lived in Kendall County for at least three generations still occasionally know the original deeds from the mouths of the older generation.
Just when everyone was getting together, they were thinking about whether to cut more wild meat and entertain the riders on the back of the two griffins later. From the bottom of the rocky mountain, there was a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
The sound came from far to near, and the sound also sounded like the huge noise produced by the collision of metal objects and rocks.
Although the voice sounded menacing, all the hunters, including Kiel, did not show a look of vigilance, but a look of relief.
That's because this sound happened to be the sound made when the knight's boots made of hard metal collided with the rocks on the ground in the knight armor worn by Knight Lanisa.
They were all a little familiar with this, and they knew it was Knight Lanisa who was back!
"Hey, it seems that most of the wild boar meat can't be kept today." An old hunter laughed.
Everyone is happy, anyway, at least I can have a good meal today.
Kiel quickly picked up the wooden door bolt on the wooden wall of the stronghold, put it aside, and then pulled the wooden door open.
The loud noise outside landed for the last time, making a dull sound like a boulder falling to the ground. Everyone looked through the wooden door, and it was indeed Knight Lanisa, but at this moment, Knight Lanisa was covered in crimson blood and hard knight armor On the top and the back of the animal skin cloak, they were all dyed crimson, which looked extremely frightening.
But just when everyone was about to ask how the knight was doing, Knight Lanisa lifted off the helmet visor that was also stained with a lot of blood, revealing her fair face: "Don't be surprised, I'm fine!"
An old hunter still asked: "What about these blood stains?"
Rolling her eyes, the female knight strode in, glanced around the inside of the stronghold, and said, "I found a wolf den and killed some wolf cubs. However, I was outside in the forest just now. I saw a griffin flying around our stronghold in the sky. There are two people up there, where are they?"
Keel pointed in the direction of the top of the mountain: "They seemed to be looking for a place to land before. At this time, they should be on the top platform of the rocky mountain, where the Griffin with huge wings should be able to take off and land."
Knight Lanisa nodded, checked the equipment on her body, and said to the hunters after finding something wrong: "Keir, you go down the mountain and bring my war horse up. I was in a hurry just now, and I gave up my war horse and jumped up all the way. Guys, come up again." Find me some cleaning water and cloth, this is not acceptable, it is too rude. The knights of the Knights must not look down on us Kendall."
The hunters realized that it was important at this time, and immediately shoveled the snow and presented it with the dug out wooden basin or the wooden bowl, and some people hurriedly set up a bigger fire to try to roast the ice and snow. And the hunter immediately returned to the tent and took out the thing Lanisa used to maintain and wipe the armor.
An old hunter was more clever. He asked if he wanted to take out the wolf skin of the northern land wolf that his hunters hunted before and hang it up, so as to show everyone the hunting results.
"Of course, please hurry up, they will come here at any time." Knight Lanisa took off the cloak that was stained with a lot of wolf blood on the back. This thing couldn't be cleaned up in a short time, so she took it off directly, crumpled it up and headed to her tent Throw it back and throw it into the corner.

Seeing everyone busy, Keir also hurried down the rocky passage. The road was covered with ice and snow. Although they cleaned it up, it was still dangerous and slippery.
Keel carefully slowed down by the walls of the rough rock passage, and simply stepped on the ice and snow on the steep places to slide down.
Although the **** hurts suddenly, the speed is not slow.
At the bottom of the rock passage, Keel first lifted one end of the carriage, staggering a gap for horses to enter and exit, and then carefully removed the metal clips on the opposite side of the carriage.
This is not going to work anytime soon, and actively activating the clips is too dangerous, so Keel had to use his feet to move the clips along the bottom edge of the metal clip one by one, and after creating a wide passage for two horses to enter and exit , Keir left here and ran outside.
He didn't know where Knight Lanisa came back from around the rocky mountain, so he ran counterclockwise around the rocky mountain, trying to find the knight's war horse.
Fortunately, Keir was lucky, and immediately spotted Knight Lanisa's war horse, and it obediently stopped at the spot where the knight left.
After Kiel walked in, he found the traces of tremors left on the snow-covered ground by Knight Lanisa when he jumped in place just now.
A huge piece of snow was shaken up by the jump of the female knight at that time, and a pair of footprints were left on the ground that were trampled from snow to solid ice. Presumably it was the huge pressure that stomped on the soft snow, and even turned into water due to the pressure, and then was frozen again.
Interesting, but irrelevant to his mission.
The female knight's war horse stared at Kiel who was approaching with wide eyes. It recognized that it was the hostess' subordinate, so it was not wary of Kiel's approach.
But when Kiel grabbed its reins and tried to take it away, the guy was uncooperative.
No matter how Kiel pulled it, he just lingered in place. As a last resort, Keir had no choice but to say and gesture to this strong and stubborn war horse to let it know that its owner is on the rocky mountain in front, where it also stayed, and is waiting for it to meet up.
I don't know if what Kiel told this guy convinced this guy, or if this guy really knew that Lanisa Knight left it and jumped in this direction just now, so he was led in that direction by Kiel, and he was willing to try it. Walk.
"Law and law." The war horse exchanged loudly, and then lightly bumped Kiel with the armored horse's face, causing Kiel to stagger, but the war horse was not satisfied.
Soon, returning to the entrance of the passage, the metal clips all over the ground made the war horse very scared, even if Keir pulled the rein, it was unwilling to walk over.
"Coward, watch out, watch how I walk." There was no way, Keir had no choice but to let the horse watch him in place, and watched him walk back and forth twice through the passage in the middle of the metal clip.
So, when Kiel tried to pull the rein again, the war horse finally stepped in cautiously.
"Coward, coward." Kiel made a face at the war horse following him, but he didn't expect that it probably recognized what Kiel said, or saw that Kiel was saying that it was timid.
So the horse strode forward, squeezed Kiel away, and quickly walked through the passage at one end surrounded by the metal clip.
Keir couldn't help but laugh, this guy is quite arrogant.
After passing through the metal clip, Kiel first put the reins of the war horse on the carriage, then went back and moved a part of the metal clip to the center of the passage, blocking the up and down road.
Although it is a bit troublesome, the function of these traps is to provide them with protection and safety, and this matter cannot be considered troublesome.
After all, in terms of safety, there is no trouble. Because when you are really in danger because of safety, compared to such a small thing as the Nono metal clip, it is a real big trouble.
Pass the side of the carriage which is narrow enough for a horse to walk. After Kiel waited for the horses to pass by, he lifted the carriage back to its place again. Unexpectedly, the war horse also knew how to help. Seeing that Kiel was lifting the carriage vigorously, it also stretched out its huge horse head, and pressed the end of the carriage with its nose. The carriage that could only be moved was easily lifted and moved away.
Keir pursed his lips, and after moving the carriage, he patted the horse's head and wanted to touch its long ears, but it avoided it by turning its ears deftly.
I can't laugh or cry.
Keir had no choice but to take the reins of the horse and continue to go up.
When he led the horse back to the gate of the stronghold, there was already a tall figure in a slim leather jacket inside the stronghold.
This person is wearing an exquisite leather jacket that does not leak a single gap. It is impossible to tell what material it is made of, but judging from the texture, it must be something extraordinary.
This man wears a belt around his waist, on which hangs a slender elf-shaped scimitar, and on the other side hangs a wooden scepter of gemstones. Amazingly, this scepter is inlaid with a A red gemstone with a width of three centimeters. With just one glance, Kiel seemed to be able to feel a strong burning sensation from that huge ruby.
Obviously it's freezing right now.
The knight was carrying a large bag on his back, and the bag was closely connected with the leather jacket, which seemed to be an inseparable set of equipment.
The most interesting thing is that the knight's helmet is also made of leather, which is tightly sealed to cover the entire head, but there are two holes in the eyes. What is surprising is that the two holes seem to be inlaid with transparent glass. It does not block the line of sight, but it can separate the knight from the outside world.
Knight Lanisa was in a bit of a panic. She had just roughly wiped the main body of the armor with ice water, and a large amount of blood was soaked in water, flowed under her feet, and then froze again.
Seeing that the knight on the Griffin had come down, Knight Lanisa could not clean the armor anymore, so she had to give up wiping and took off her helmet, revealing her coiled long hair and face. Blood shakes off.
Come forward and report yourself.
"Your Excellency, a knight from the Border Knights, I am Knight Jenny Lanisa, a knight under the command of Baron Kendall. The fief is in Wumi Lake Village, which is officially a village not far from here. May I ask your name?" Lanisa While speaking, the knight put his chest on his shoulder with one hand, and put his hand behind his back, and kept swinging for the hunters.
The hunters understood the meaning of the knight's hand gesture, and immediately lined up according to age.
Kiel just walked in at this time, and immediately tied the reins of the horse to the gate, and quickly stood at the far left of the hunter team.
Because he was not yet seventeen years old, when spring came to the other world, this body was only about sixteen years old. Among the hunter team, he is the youngest.
A group of nine people stood behind Lanisa Knight, showing the identity of Lanisa Knight's team leader.
The head of the griffon rider on the opposite side was raised slightly, and his fingers with fully enclosed gloves groped on the neck and under the chin, as if pressing the mechanism, and then lifted his hand, turning the leather helmet completely behind his head.
The previously indistinguishable face was finally revealed, and it turned out to be a very beautiful female knight.
To be disrespectful, the appearance of this female knight riding a griffin is really much better than the somewhat ordinary and attractive knight Lanisa.
Moreover, this female knight's platinum-blonde long hair was delicately braided and coiled on her head, which looked very beautiful.
It's not good at all, but the female knight's age can't be seen from her face. It's possible to be in her twenties, but it seems too serious. It's also quite similar in her thirties, but judging by the way the other party's hair is treated, It seems to have become a home, but it doesn't look like it is nourished by love.
On closer inspection, it seems that she is more than forty years old.
The young hunters immediately showed surprise expressions when they saw such a good-looking female knight, but Keir was not surprised. In the previous life, there were too many good-looking women on the Internet. Due to the improvement of living standards, even ordinary women only need to know how to dress. Dress up, make up and take care of yourself, they all look good.
The life of ordinary people in this world is still very hard. Long-term toil makes women have no wealth to make themselves beautiful, and they have no time to protect their young appearance from slipping away quickly day after day. So it doesn't look great.
Only some women from wealthy and aristocratic families who are out of labor look much better.
Speaking of this, Keir wanted to complain about the western fairy tales from his previous life.
The prince accidentally left the palace and came to the folk, and met the heroine who lived alone and hard. Basically, he was moved by the beauty and kindness of the heroine, and then got married after suffering.
It's funny, you have to support yourself at a young age, or the tired face of the hard-working heroine, how could the prince who grew up in rouge and powder be able to fancy it.
Even if the heroine is naturally beautiful, can the calloused hands honed by labor really make the prince kiss her affectionately? Not to mention that among the people who are basically illiterate, a young girl who scolded the old lady of the Cohen family and learned how to bargain and steal vegetables in the market from the old mother of the Welsh family could really compete with a Do the princes who have received ruling education since childhood have a common topic?
Could it be that the prince just said that the location of the castle is dangerous or that it can control the traffic arteries, but the heroine on the opposite side came to ask whether there is room for some vegetables in the castle.
Would the prince find it funny?
Maybe, at least Zhao Ji didn't think it was funny, and he couldn't laugh either.
He felt that the guy who could really laugh in such a situation, and who really seriously analyzed whether the martial arts field in the castle where horses were trained and soldiers could be used to grow vegetables, probably wouldn't be able to stay in the original seat for long.

Having said that, when the voice of the young hunters beside Kiel came out ~www.mtlnovel.com~ he saw Knight Lanisa with his hands behind him and immediately clenched his hands tightly. fist.
He felt that disaster was imminent.
Your Excellency, Knight! I, Joe Keel, didn't follow suit, it was the big trotters next to me who were swallowing. I'm still so young, I don't understand what those big brothers are talking about all day long!
You must accurately distinguish with your ears, who swallowed and who didn't!
-
"Huh, Knight Lanisa? I've heard of your family, but it seems that your father was still in the knight's seat." The beautiful female knight opposite looked at the young Knight Lanisa, and swept the opponent emphatically Pieces of unwashed blood on the armor.
She glanced at this small stronghold built in the rock passage, and naturally saw the newly pulled wolf skins hung on the rock wall by the old hunters.
"However, I heard from your father that you are a girl who loves books more than martial arts training. Hehe, it seems that every father will speak well of his children in front of his friends."
Knight Lanisa didn't care to teach those guys behind her a lesson. She knew one thing from the words of the other party: "You are my father's friend? What is your name?"
The beautiful female knight opposite first blew a loud short whistle with her mouth, and then confirmed her identity: "I am a griffin rider of the seventh division of the Imperial Border Knights, and I am responsible for patrolling the forest area." Wei Ang She opened her head, revealing her slender neck and delicate chin: "Dalice-Mystery-Forrest. She is a member of the mysterious branch of the Forrest family. It comes from the Omori province in the southern part of the empire, although it was once prosperous and beautiful. It is still under the rule of the hateful undead, but one day, all the families will take it back."
