Chapter 522 (1/2)
”It's a strange name, karkarot.”
In a room on the third floor of the knight's Association headquarters, Delong leans lazily in his chair, his dirty boots sticking up on the table, holding a profile of the players in his hand. He also exudes a strong smell of wine and powder.
Dewey sat opposite him, glancing at Knight Delong's boots, sniffing and frowning, ”where were you last night? Which goblin's nest did you go to
”Oh, no, No.” Deron shook his head repeatedly, and his expression was clearly pleased. ”Please, my excellency, my Duke, now I am not going to go to those cheap goblins in the south of the city. Now I have a different status. Last night, a count invited me to the ecstasy cave outside the city. I have to say, that place is wonderful! If it's me, I can't get into that place. Even if I can get in, I'm reluctant to pay that price. ”
Du Wei smiles. He knows the place Delong said. He has been with Prince Chen at the beginning.
”The girls in that place are so beautiful that they are intoxicating. Unfortunately, if you didn't come to see me this morning, I would like to sleep with that baby until noon. ”
With that, Delong dropped the pamphlet on the table: ”well, my Lord, let's get down to business. I'm a serious person. I'll never be perfunctory when it's time to get down to business. ”
Du Wei whistled and thought: serious man? Is there anyone in the world more serious than you?
”This karkarot is our opponent in the final of the beautiful samurai.” Delong sighed: ”it's really disappointing. In fact, I hope we can have two beautiful warriors! isn't it? In the final, watching two beautiful warriors fighting in the arena, the scene must be hot... Your highness, in your words, well, how to say... Ah, by the way, ”it's stimulating to the box office.”. That's what it says, isn't it? ”
Dewey said, ”if you want to, you can persuade this karkarot to be a woman.”
Delong really thought about it seriously, then shook his head: ”OK, no kidding, seriously. My Duchess, this contest will be over soon, although I am reluctant to... It has made us a lot of money! If I can, I really hope to hold this kind of competition once a year. But... Now the problem is. What are we going to do next? The choice of the Knights of the sword of Roland is in this book. Everyone's wealth is very clean, there is no special background... Well, according to your request, all the guys with special background. It's all in the preliminaries and we'll find a way to stay out
Dewey grinned, strangely: karkarot? How interesting!
I don't know if this guy will turn into a super Saiya? Or... He also has a name called monkey king?
According to the information, this young man named karkarot is 23 years old. Born and raised in the south. He began to practice martial arts when he was young, and learned from a famous warrior in the south. Moreover, he lived in the southern swamp area all the year round. That place is not a paradise for life.
On the contrary.
There is a large marsh in the southeast of Loran, where the climate is hot and humid. It rains for almost half of the year, and there are miasma and poisonous fog in the marsh, which are hard for human beings to bear. There are also many poisonous plants... What's more, the swamp in the south is a very rare place to find Warcraft on the whole continent of Roland!
Roland continent, recognized as a frequent activity of Warcraft areas, one is the northern frozen forest, one is the southern swamp. Of course... It is said that there are scattered Warcraft in kilimarro mountains. But that's rare. It's almost negligible.
The swamp in the south is the favorite place for the mercenary regiment besides the frozen forest. But in terms of the quantity and quality of Warcraft. The swamp in the south is one grade worse than the frozen forest in the north. Where the Warcraft are mostly some low-level things, unlike the northern frozen forest, there are high-level Warcraft.
So, if you're a poaching Gang, the north might be more attractive to you. Because Warcraft produced in the south is hard to sell at a high price.
As a result, the two main battle legions of the Empire guarding the frontier, the storm Legion in the north, were higher in fighting capacity, equipment and treatment than those in the south. The storm corps are stationed at the edge of the frozen forest and have a great responsibility. In contrast, the southern corps, which is responsible for guarding the southern swamps, is much more leisurely.
Don't you see the Empire abolishing the southern army over the years.
But... Even so, no one dares to despise the swamp in the south!
There is only one reason, because the swamp in the south is the only area on the whole continent that produces a special kind of Warcraft!
This kind of Warcraft is the only social Warcraft among all known Warcraft species（ In addition, most Warcraft live alone.)
This kind of thing has sharp claws, strong and terrible physical strength, and... The ability to fly!
This kind of thing is Griffin!
This large Warcraft, with a huge eagle head, sharp mouth, can easily peck through the warrior's armor! The sharp claws on the limbs can tear an ox to pieces effortlessly, and... They also have strong wings. When the wings vibrate, the strong wind can blow down an adult man! From the strength point of view, an adult Griffin can easily grab a sheep, fly to the sky, and then drop it!
At the same time, you should never think that you can deal with these things that come and go like the wind with ordinary bows and arrows, because ordinary bows and arrows can't cause damage to these things at all. When they fly, their wings vibrate with the wind. You can sweep down most of the arrows! What's more, the whole body of this kind of thing is covered with feathers... The strength of the feathers is comparable to the imperial light armor!
Most adult Griffins also have the magic of wind, though they are low-level wind blade. What's more, the roaring of Griffins can make people dizzy.
... considering that this kind of thing is gregarious, when it comes to a group of hundreds of Griffins. Even the troops of a division will definitely choose to retreat!
Therefore, although the quantity and quality of Warcraft in the southern marshes were poor, the Empire still kept a legion of troops at the edge of the marshes. It's to defend against this kind of big and fierce air overlord.
If you can barely figure it out, Dewey should have ”seen” Griffins, just before he met Vivian in the southern half of the city, but the Griffins he saw that time. It's the illusion of Vivian's fear demon.
But even so, the Griffin's ferocity was enough to impress Dewey.
Actually... Dewey has been thinking about this kind of thing for a long time.
That's when Dewey set up the Decepticon air team and started thinking about the future of the Empire's air force!
Griffin is a fierce air Warcraft, no doubt. It's the most suitable creature in the world that Dewey knows to be a knight in the air!!
They are fierce enough, powerful enough, and fast enough. And... Their own strength is very strong.
However, after studying the nature of this Warcraft, Dewey soon gave up this plan.
The reason is very simple. Griffins are cruel and... Cunning!
And they all live in groups, so they don't have activities alone. So, it's very difficult to catch this kind of brutally big guy!
If you face a group of Griffins, it's a group of warriors. It's just a matter of running away, let alone catching a batch of people back!
Of course, if you can have the saint level strongman in town, it's not impossible to catch a few back. But the problem is that this Griffin has another characteristic: it is extremely difficult to domesticate!
Extremely difficult, very, very difficult!!
In some ancient documents, Dewey found a record that he was very interested in: the previous life of Dewey, during the reign of Aragon, the founder of the Empire. Once organized a large-scale Griffin hunting operation.
With the strength of Aragorn. In addition, he experienced a hundred battles of the founding of the grand division, and finally successfully captured back hundreds of Griffins back.
When Dewey read the news. Immediately understood: this own previous life, and oneself made the same idea, wanted to tame this kind of thing to set up the air force! What's more, after the adult Griffins proved unable to be tamed, Aragon obviously wanted to start from the newborn Griffins
Unfortunately, none of the Griffins captured can be tamed! Big or small! After being locked up in a cage for a few days, they all starved to death. Even the magicians of the Empire could not solve this problem.
Because most Warcraft and magicians can sign soul contracts with them, so that they can be accepted as magic pets... Griffins can, of course. But... Griffins must be in groups to have deterrent power!
But only magicians can control Griffins. Ordinary soldiers have no way!
You can't let all the magicians in the Empire change their careers to be air cavalry!
This ferocious creature is recognized as the overlord of the southern swamp area.
People living in the southern swamp area have a custom that many local warriors will paint Griffin patterns on their weapons, such as shields or swords!
If you are in the South and see someone engrave this pattern on a sword or shield, you must respect this kind of person! Because according to the custom of the southern swamp area, those who are qualified to leave this mark on their weapons are all masters who have really experienced a decisive battle with groups of Griffins and can still come back alive!
And in the south, can encounter groups of fierce Griffins, but also lucky to come back alive, will be considered as the embodiment of strength!
Another reason why Dewey is suddenly interested in this Griffin is that the information in his hand shows that this young man named karkarot has lived in the southern swamp area for many years, and he is qualified to print the Griffin pattern on the weapon!
In front of the game. In the preliminaries, kakarot didn't even use weapons and beat his opponent with his bare hands. In the second round, he used a short spear and a shield. On the shield, a flying Griffin was tattooed!
Dewey looked at the hourglass in the room and said to himself, ”it's time... I hope this boy won't be late. I don't like people who don't obey the time.”
Just as Dewey's voice fell. Outside in the courtyard, came the old servant doff's rude voice: ”Delong, someone is looking for you!”
The man who was brought into this room on the third floor by the old servant Dorf was the mysterious contestant, karkarkart.
Because of the cartoon that was popular for a generation in his previous life, Dewey had a good feeling for this young man named karkarot.
Looking at this guy coming in, his face was very cold, but his eyes were still a little embarrassed. Dewey said with a gentle smile: ”there are chairs in the room. Please sit down by yourself. Don't be nervous. ”
Deron frowned at Dewey, and it was obvious that it was Dewey's idea to call him. I didn't talk to Delong beforehand.
”My Lord.” Karkarot did not really sit down, but seriously saluted duvet. Dewey noticed that it was a rite for the common people to meet the nobles, not a knighthood rite.
”Why don't you knightly?” Dewey said with a smile.
”Because I'm not a knight yet. I have no knighthood or rank Karkarot's voice was neither humble nor overbearing.
”Why is there no knighthood?” Dewey still smile calm: ”your strength can get the title of knight.”
Karkarot was silent.
His appearance is very beautiful, but his skin is a little dark, and his hair is as messy as straw. This hairstyle even arouses a wonderful memory of ”Dragon Ball”.
