Chapter 553 Griffin
Flamingo Tavern.
Alan opened the door and entered. There were only a few people in the tavern. There was a sign hanging in the middle, which read the name of the hotel. The words were human and dwarf. Alan learned most of the languages and words in this world by knowing language and reading memory.
Lakeside Town is very close to the Dwarf Kingdom, and in the northwest of Lakeside Town is the residence of the Black Iron Dwarfs.
The Black Iron Dwarf is one of the three major races of the dwarfs, a relative of the Bronzebeard Clan dwarfs. Three hundred years ago, because the Black Iron Dwarfs learned black magic, their fellow tribes could not tolerate it. So the Bronzebeard Dwarf expelled the Black Iron Tribe, and the latter came to the Red Ridge Mountain to build his own dwarf kingdom.
Lakeside Town has a close trade relationship with the Black Iron Dwarves. Many of the spirits and grains produced in Lakeside Town have been sold to the Black Iron Dwarves, and a large number of excellent weapons have been traded back. However, since the orcs invaded, this transaction has been forced to be interrupted. It is said that the Black Stone Fortress has been occupied by orcs.
The owner of the tavern is an old man who is blind and looks a bit fierce. His name is Kane. It is said that he was a powerful soldier when he was young. Later, he returned here to open a tavern because of injuries. There were not many people in the tavern. Because of the war, the business road was cut off and the tavern was very deserted.
"Cain, give me a glass of ale!" Allen came to the counter and threw down a few silver coins.
"Wait!" Kane reached out and put away the silver coin, took the ale from the barrel behind him and handed it to Allen.
"How is the situation outside recently?" Allen took a sip of ale, frowned slightly, and put it back.
"Oh no, there are small groups of orcs outside the town. They have tried to attack the town, but they have been knocked back." Kane shook his head and said.
"Many people in the town went to respond to His Highness Varian's call?" Allen said, looking at the somewhat empty tavern.
"I went a lot, they decided in the tavern last night." Kane said a little lonely.
"And since they left, the orcs appeared near the town again."
"Did the orcs notice this?" Allen frowned slightly. He lacked a favorable impression of those green skins. According to his plan, he was going to merge all the divine nature here, and then take advantage of the natural disasters of the undead to get the water of the well of the Sun. Then he left Azeroth directly.
After all, this world belongs to a high magic plane and is very dangerous. However, with the emergence of orcs, Allen's plans are likely to fail.
"I think so." Kane spread his hands and said.
Allen stayed in the tavern for a while before leaving, but this time he did not go back directly, but turned to an alley. A flash of inspiration passed by, and Allen's figure had disappeared.
Outside Lakeside Town, Allen's figure appeared in the air. The entire Lakeside Town is surrounded by water on the east and south, and the west is continuous mountains. There was originally a bridge on the Zhishui Lake, but due to war, the bridge has been demolished. The only direction the orcs want to attack is the northeast.
"Eye of Investigation!"
He waved his hand to summon more than a dozen reconnaissance eyes and then asked them to search around. He was about to find the small group of orcs and then completely solve them.
Because Hupan Town is located in Zhishui Lake, it produces a lot of fishing catches. It is densely forested and fertile land. It has a large number of farms and logging farms. It is also an important resource area for the Storm Kingdom. It was just because of the orc invasion, and it was destroyed. Although the orc army did not attack here, the farms, logging farms and mines outside Hupan Town were destroyed.
To the north of Lakeside Town is a forest, but in the game it is called the Burning Plain. After this war, the forest will disappear and become a barren land. You will pass through it and you will reach the hometown of dwarves and gnomes, Danmoro.
The capitals of the Bronzebeard Dwarf and the Nomoregan Dwarf are located here. Denmoro is a mountainous terrain with mountains and peaks in the territory, rich in various ores and gems. Due to the high altitude, the climate here is extremely cold, and there is only one season in winter throughout the year. Because it snows almost every day, the ground is always covered with thick white snow, and rivers and lakes are frozen all year round. However, according to the news obtained by Allen, this place has been occupied by orcs.
In Lakeside Town Allen has seen dwarfs and gnomes in this world. Compared to the wizard world, there is not much difference between dwarfs here. As for the first time in the dwarfs, Allen has seen them. These dwarfs like machinery and inventions. It is said that these dwarfs were first made by Titans. They became what they are today after being cursed by the flesh and blood of the ancient gods.
Another race famous for its technology is goblins. Unlike goblins in the wizard world, goblins in this world are smart races. Their bodies are not strong, but they can create all kinds of strange things. Compared with dwarf technology, goblins' engineering is more inclined to destruction.
Allen saw no one in Lakeside Town willing to approach the goblin's machinery, and the goblin's mantra was "I advise you to stay away from that boiler, it has not exploded today..."
Goblin engineering is not reliable at all like goblins. Uncontrolled explosions are common problems. These goblins are really ugly. Speaking of which, every goblin is an excellent businessman. What they like most is to make disasters and wealth, and they especially like to kill old customers. Allen bought a lot of things from them. These guys have a wide range of things and they can find many things that others cannot find, of course they can only pay the price.
These guys can be said to be the least conscientious and can do anything for money. I would like to give you a piece of advice, never be friends with goblins, because they might betray you in the next moment. For example, if Lakeside Town is broken and Goblins have a safe way to evacuate, then this Goblin will definitely regard this as a good business. A ticket to a goblin airship is the price of your life's wealth. After you get your wealth, these Goblins will sell you as slaves, and they will squeeze your value to the limit, so Goblins in Lakeside Town are not popular.
According to Allen, goblin merchants can be seen in the entire human world, almost all urban and villages, even all major traffic roads and crossroads. The obsession of these small green men with gold coins is comparable to that of the giant dragon.
"What is that?" Just as Allen was searching for the orcs, a reconnaissance eye passed over a picture. It was a mountain top, and there was a huge bird's nest on the cliff. It was made of branches and dead leaves. Two basketball-sized eggs lying quietly inside.
"What kind of egg is this?" Through the reconnaissance eye, Allen clearly saw the two eggs. According to him, the largest bird in the world is not as big as that.
After thinking about it, Alan's figure flashed and directly teleported to the vicinity of the cliff. The cliff was very high, at least two or three hundred meters. The mountain wind was howling. In this environment, it was usually a place where eagles like to build nests, but eagles were far less than such a big egg.
Alan flew near the nest, reached out and put his hand on the egg and closed his eyes to feel it. The vitality inside was very active. And Alan found that most of the life in the egg had developed, which was a collection of eagles and lions.
"Griffin!" Allen recognized it at a glance. As a famous mount in the alliance, he still knew. Griffin beasts are monogamous like eagles. They are willing to die in battle to protect their spouses and offspring. The chicks will be fed by any family member, but usually they are hunted by males and females guard the nest and will not throw the eggs in the nest. The two griffin eggs in front of them are about to hatch, so this situation will not leave. Now that a griffin is not there, there is only one possibility, they all die in battle.
Although Allen has not been here for a long time, he still knows about the creatures like griffin. This is a powerful raptor. The only one who can threaten them in the sky is the dragon. It is only in Lakeside Town. Allen has not heard of a dragon appearing.
He casually collected two griffin eggs, and Allen was about to try to tame it. Griffin is a creature that is good at fighting, brave and fearless, and can fly. There is a dwarf griffin knight in the world of Tibis, but the griffin knight has been dead in name only. In the battle against the demons, the griffin knights suffered heavy losses, and basically there is very little left.
It is difficult to domesticate griffins. They are not as docile as horses, independent and stubborn as horses. They do not like to fight with others. When trapped in cages, they will refuse to eat. The chicks must start training at three months old. Only at this time will they accept new "family". The griffins regard the knight as family. If the knight dies, then the griffins will not allow other knights to ride, and the griffins will be ruined. This shows that the knight can only cultivate the griffins themselves, and it is extremely difficult to supplement after the loss.
However, these griffin knights are indeed very strong, and Allen is going to try taming a few.
There is no griffin in the wizard world, but there is something very close to griffin. Lion scorpion, which is also a lion body. The difference is that one is the head of an eagle and the other is the tail of a scorpion. However, although lion scorpion can fly, its flying ability is very poor. Another reason is that lion scorpion is too ugly.
Alan also has methods to domesticate griffins. This creature is a carnivore. The first three months of the chicks period, they need to eat food equivalent to their weight every day. Four months later, the chicks are already the size of a hound. However, they cannot fly at this time and can only climb on the rock walls. The biological birds will teach them to prey on the ground during this period. When they are six months old, the young birds start to learn flying and hunting in the air. This time, they take half a year. When they get two years old, the griffins will leave their nests and build their own nests. At this time, the griffins will become adults, but it will take two to three years of military training to be domesticated into a griffin knight.
