From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Griffin?

Leon and Mike looked slightly surprised.

Such fantasy creatures can be found in game comics, a large number of film and television works in the main universe, and folklore.

The two people who became investigators also learned from the company that they might face various anomalies and creatures in some corner of the main universe or in other universes, including griffons.

However, after witnessing the scene in front of them at close range, the two of them would inevitably feel emotional. They did not expect that they would encounter such a fantastic creature.

"Xiao~——!!"

Three griffons with a wingspan of more than fifteen meters hovered in the air for a while, then stretched out their limbs and landed at a good angle not far in front of the group of soldiers and officials.

At this time, the group of soldiers, officials, and nearby residents also stopped what they were doing and knelt down in front of the three knights who turned over and jumped off the griffons.

Seeing this situation, Leon and Mike knelt down on one knee and waited with their heads slightly lowered.

The three knights also bowed in response, indicating that the cumbersome ceremonial procedures could be ended.

After receiving the signal, everyone stood up and focused on work and farming again, as if they were accustomed to the visits of griffins and knights.

"."

On the other hand, Leon and Mike continued to approach the town while observing quietly and secretly.

The official who had been waiting for a long time said respectfully to the knights: "It is an honor for me and our Hexi Town to personally welcome everyone from the Royal Griffin Knights. I wonder what I am conveying today...?"

The knight with a red feather on his helmet replied: "Honorable Lord of Hexi Town, we are here on the orders of the Minister of State. We hereby report that we need to recruit one hundred and twenty warriors to Hexi Town within fifteen days. Rush to the royal capital to await further instructions."

"One hundred and twenty?!" The lord of this town was startled, and then looked troubled:

"Dear knights, even if we include young children who have not yet been weaned or old people who have difficulty getting to the ground, we in Hexi Town only have more than 1,400 people. Therefore, this order from the Minister of State is equivalent to cutting off "

"No need to say more." The knight raised his hand to interrupt the lord: "We are well aware of the predicament you are in, but our mission is only to convey it."

With that said, the knight led his two men back on the back of the gryphon: "We still need to rush to River Valley Town. I hope that your town of River Creek can successfully overcome this difficulty. No, I should hope that all of us can survive this crisis." Let’s go after this difficult time!!”

"Xiao~!"

As soon as the words fell, the griffin raised its head and roared, stretched its wings violently, and flapped vigorously.

Huh-huh-!

Following a strong wave of air, the three knights drove the griffins back into the air, flew towards the west, and disappeared after a while.

"One hundred and twenty people and one hundred and two are going to kill us."

The lord looked at the western sky in despair and muttered something.

"Sir, let's go back."

A soldier captain helped the lord get on the carriage, and then followed on foot with the soldiers. Soon they passed Leon and Mike who had entered the town, and headed back to the castle in the center.

See the team walking away.

Mike lowered his voice and said: "Good guy, there is a lot of information."

Leon also whispered: "There may be a war, and don't forget that there are unknown areas in the southern hemisphere that even Ernie can't observe."

"Maybe."

Mike nodded, while also looking away from the group of soldiers walking away, looking around the street.

The road is paved with stone bricks, and the buildings on both sides are mostly independent houses, built of wood, stone and metal. They look square and solid.

Moreover, local residents have also transformed the first floor of their homes into commercial venues, such as small restaurants, pubs, as well as blacksmith shops, weapon shops, grocery stores, etc.

There are also markets where fruit and vegetable stalls gather, or stand-alone hotels dedicated to receptions.

There were not many locals on the streets at the moment, after all, most of the residents were busy outside the city.

Among the pedestrians, most were outsiders like Leon and Mike. There were caravans driving horses and trucks, adventurers carrying weapons and armor, and travelers carrying huge backpacks.

plus;

"Ding! Ding!" The crisp sound of forging came from the blacksmith shop.

"The newly baked magic bread ~ paired with fairy honey ~ is delicious. It only costs one copper coin and can make you have a fulfilling day! Come and taste it!"

"Weapons! Armor! Enchanted daggers and leather armor can save your life during adventures. They are high quality and cheap! Come and take a look!"

The shouts and shouts from the shops and stall owners one after another give the town a prosperous atmosphere on the main road.

When passing by a bakery, both Leon and Mike smelled an aroma of wheat that could not be described in words.

Looking at the desserts and breads displayed in the window, the two of them suddenly had the idea of ​​"I really want to buy a few pieces to try!"

Fortunately, this thought only passed by for a moment.

After the two of them walked past the bakery, Mike raised his hand and put his hand on Leon's shoulder, saying in a deep voice:

"Boy, don't you think the fragrance in that store is a bit too fragrant? It makes me, who doesn't like bread, have a strong desire to buy it. Do you think it's because of magic?"

"Definitely." Leon agreed deeply, then looked at the four-story hotel not far ahead and suggested:

"It is now certain that magic exists in this world, but the prerequisite for knowing more information is to obtain the currency and residence."

"It's easiest to find out what's going on in places like hotels and taverns." Mike looked around and locked his sights on a fruit stall.

To be precise, it was the little boy who was responsible for looking after the stall.

With an impatient look on his face, Mike knew that the other person was forced to the stall by his parents, and then reluctantly worked to help.

So Mike and Leon came to the stall and asked: "Hey, little guy, my friend and I are travelers from the south. We want to find a reliable pawn shop to exchange some cash, so can you help us?" Any recommendations?"

"Traveler?"

Hearing these words, the boy, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, looked up and down at Mike and Leon, who kept a kind smile.

"Of course."

The boy readily agreed and walked around his stall without any suspicion, came to the two of them and pointed forward:

"You two can continue walking north, and then turn right at the second intersection. There is a pawn shop run by old Jason there, which is guaranteed to be reliable."

"Little buddy! You are such a warm-hearted child. You may become an outstanding knight in the future." Mike thanked him sincerely.

"Where! Where! I just did my little bit." The boy seemed to be full of yearning to become a knight, so Mike's praise was particularly useful.

Afterwards, the two continued to move forward according to the instructions and turned right at the second intersection.

When I came to this alley, I found a store manager who was bargaining with customers and discussing the recycling price. He should be the old Jason the boy mentioned.
