Law of the Devil

What kind of thing is a griffin?

If you ask this question to anyone on Roland Continent, the answer you will probably get is: a ferocious, brutal and powerful monster. Also like to live in groups.

The answer is simple and clear.

But... as a great man said, if you want to conquer others, you must first understand them!

Kakarot, a twenty-three-year-old young warrior, is very tense and somewhat innocent. Young and passionate. The character is persistent and stubborn. At the same time, the grievances and grievances are clear-according to Du Wei's standards, he likes this guy quite a lot.

As for attempting to assassinate a commander of the city's garrison in an imperial city... this kind of crime is nothing to Du Wei, after all, he is out for revenge.

This is easy to understand: Mr. Kakarot is kind to him in nurturing him, just like his father. It also needs courage in itself.

On the contrary, if Kakarot hadn't done this, the teacher who raised him would have been murdered. But he just walked away, everything was fine... If he was such a person with such a frightening nature, Du Wei would kick him out without hesitation.

Now... Du Wei is satisfied, at least. For Du Wei, this candidate is enough to serve as the future leader of the Roland Sword Knights.

That's why Du Wei put so much effort into investigating this young man's details, and made such a play of soft and hard today...he wants to try to conquer the young man's heart. Then get his loyalty.

To conquer others, you must first understand them.

In this regard, Du Wei has done a good job.

And what a surprise... it's the Griffon!

Different from the people in this world, although this world is amazing in many aspects - such as magic culture, but in more aspects, in Du Wei's view, it is still very backward. Even ignorance.

In particular, some human beings' understanding of the domain of natural creatures has been rendered more mysterious, especially for those powerful monsters. It has even been extolled as a legend.

But in Du Wei's heart. It's much simpler to think about it. all living things. Even something as terrifying and powerful as a griffin. It's not really a mystery.

If you want to conquer these things, first you need to understand it!

The griffin has never been tamed. In Du Wei's view, this is because humans in this world have never really understood this creature.

Although the only people in this world who can control Warcraft are magicians... but magicians have magical powers. When they face Warcraft. No need to tame. Only. =t:. M wants to catch them, and then use magic to sign a soul contract with them, and then he can turn the monster into his magic pet.

Who's going to be a beast tamer when there's magic? It's as if you have an elevator in front of the ground that takes you to the top floor. Would you still foolishly climb the stairs?

This creates a very interesting situation: people who have the ability to tame this kind of thing. This can be done directly with magic. But other people who want to tame this kind of thing are not capable of doing it.

My teacher. He has been fascinated by things like griffins all his life. Kakarot said with a bit of sadness: He once told me that it has something to do with his experience. He likes this kind of fierce and powerful Biology. Always want to understand this kind of thing, want to be close to this kind of thing... In the eyes of others, this is a kind of morbid psychology. Or it is simply a kind of suicide behavior, because if you get close to this kind of thing, it is likely to be was killed.

I can understand this mentality. Du Wei's voice was very sincere: Others will think your teacher is crazy, but I won't.

His words. It made Kakarot feel good in his heart, because when the teacher told him about these places back then. The expression is very helpless. Obviously, the teacher has suffered countless ridicules and blank stares in his life. In the eyes of others, he is a madman.

But Du Wei really understood.

People in this world may not understand. But from the world of Du Wei's previous life.

Du Wei understands that there are many professional people in the world who are always interested in all kinds of creatures in nature and want to learn about them... Du Wei liked to watch programs like National Geographic Magazine in his previous life.

In his opinion. Kakarot's teacher is obviously such a person-although such a person. For the world of Roland Continent, it is a bit different. But loving nature and wanting to know more about natural creatures is not a morbid psychology.

Griffons live in groups. So it's very difficult to catch this kind of creature. Because they hardly have time to move alone. And if you want to observe this kind of thing carefully, you have to risk your life and go to the south In the swamp, and then close to a large group of griffins, and be careful to be discovered at any time. Otherwise, you will definitely be torn to pieces in the next game! When Kakarot said these words, he looked very serious. and. What made Du Wei feel a little weird was that. When this kid said this. As if... as if he was not just talking about his teacher's experience, as if he himself had the same experience.

When the teacher was young, he used to be a magic apprentice for a period of time. Although it was not long... because he soon discovered that he did not have magic talent, so he gave up magic. He should learn martial arts, but that period of magic apprenticeship Experience helped him a lot. When he entered the southern swamp, he could identify many poisonous and dangerous plants... This skill helped him a lot. And when he was in the mercenary group, this skill also Very useful! He has also read a lot of magic books that only magicians have read...those books. Ordinary people can't see them, such as...Mainland Warcraft Illustrated Book. Kakarot whispered: The teacher told I, he read that book, when he was young. The experience of being a magic apprentice, so. After he became a mercenary. His education made him understand those mercenaries better than other mercenaries. Warcraft, because other mercenaries only rely on experience. But he has more to rely on.

Go on. Du Wei nodded.

But at this time, Delong suddenly stood up. He took a few steps around the room. But suddenly he said with a smile: Okay, let's talk slowly, I don't think I'm interested in this topic.

talking. He actually walked towards the door.

Your Excellency Delong. Du Wei frowned, and gave Delong a strange look: Aren't you interested in this matter?.

My Lord Duke. Deron smiled: I'm just the president of the Knights Association, and my current interest is... to make money. It doesn't matter what you call mercenaries, griffins, or other places. , I don't have much interest... Besides. I don't want to cause trouble, I think you should understand what I mean. I know what you mean by asking me to meet this kid here with you. Okay, I'm the president of the Knights Association Power, I will give this child the status of a knight. And now, he will join the Roland Sword Knights. As long as you think it’s okay, I agree. If he can win in the finals, even if you suggest him to be a member Long. I have no problem either... I think that's all you need me to do.

Du Wei was even more puzzled.

This Deron, he is not interested in things about the Griffin?

I just don't want to cause trouble. Deron said lightly: I like a leisurely life. Fine wine, gold coins. Women, and then hang out for decades. Finish this life. Other things. I don't want to touch. Just So simple.

As he spoke, this guy seemed to be running away, not waiting for Du Wei to speak. Just ran away first.

His reaction made Du Wei full of doubts. But now he still has to listen to Kakarot to finish the matter, so he can only put Deron's doubts aside for the time being.

Delong walked out of the door and carefully closed the door for the two of them.

Then the president of the Knights Association walked down the stairs. But he saw Old Dove sweeping the floor under the stairs head-on.

How did you come out?

Avoid trouble. Deron shook his head. He sighed, then sat down on the stair steps: Dear old Dove, I'm lazy. Very lazy... You know me well, you see, I'm even the spear of Longchinus. I just casually threw it to Du Wei, what else can arouse my interest? I don’t want to care about other things... Keep guarding the Knights Association so that it doesn’t close down. Even if it’s worthy of my teacher. I don't want to get involved in the rest of the matter.

Old Dove looked at Delong seriously. Unlike before, this time the old Dove did not growl at Deron. He also didn't use that kind of harsh words to stimulate Delong - because he could see that there was something else in Delong's eyes.

Gently, Old Dove put down the broom in his hand. Walked to Delong's side and sat down slowly. The skinny hand patted Deron's knee, and after a while. Slowly said a word: I am old.

... Deron glanced at Old Dove and muttered, I know, you're old. The wrinkles on your face are like dried bread from overnight.

Old Dove did not fight back against such harsh words, but his tone was unusually gentle. Said softly to Delong: But you are not old yet.

There seemed to be a lot of meaning hidden in his words, but fortunately, Delong could listen to Li Tong.

Deron thought about it. He suddenly let out a long sigh: I understand what you mean. Dove... But, there have been no knights in this world for a long time! This kind of thing should have been extinct long ago, it should be extinct! But I stay here. Just Keep my oath. Let this place not close until I die. Even if I am worthy of the dead old man. Other than that. I don't want to think about anything else, because... this world. It's not the age of knights !

But Du Wei appeared. Old Dove's words obviously carried a deep meaning: I know, although your mouth was very hard a few days ago, your core has moved, I can see it... Hey! Boy, Don't forget. I watched you grow up when you were naked! I can tell your heart is working. You don't care about what comes out of your mouth. You don't want to participate in anything...but I can feel it I see, you have been quietly observing the Duke of Tulip recently.

Deron was silent, this guy who always had a hippie smile. At this moment, his face was full of seriousness.

To be honest... At the beginning, I didn't like this Lord Duke either. I thought that a kid of his age, and he became famous as a young man, probably didn't have any great skills. As for revitalizing the Knights Association, I also thought he It's exaggeration, and... we all know that he does these things for another purpose. Old Dove said on the side. While patting Deron's knee lightly: But. We all have to admit that he did a good job! Even your performance made me feel that you are not as desperate as before. This kid gives you Brings hope!

What about you? Delong suddenly stared at his old servant very seriously: Dorfu! You have never married or given birth to any offspring! I also understand what you mean, you did it on purpose! You want to Your bloodline will end in your generation! I don’t want that heavy mission to be on the shoulders of your family forever! I am the same as you! I also think we have taken on it for too long! This is simply a joke Look outside, look on the street, no one still remembers this, no one still cares about it! But it is us who still abide by the so-called oaths, so-called loyalty, and so-called missions !Go to hell! To hell! Those things are rotten. They are rotten! They should be extinct. They should be over!

So you are not married, even though you have had so many women. There is no descendant left to inherit your bloodline. Old Dove blinked his eyes. Smiling and looking at Delong: You also hope that your bloodline will end in your generation, yes.

Delong lowered his head. He stared blankly at the dust on the steps. After a while, he whispered: Sometimes, I really wish that the old man didn't tell me that secret before he died.

I see.

Deron still hung his head. His voice seemed to be dreaming: Thinking about it now, I really hate him. Why. He is going to die. But before he dies. Tell me. In fact, I am his son... an illegitimate child, huh, I shouted I have been his teacher for more than ten years, and I respect him. He is the president of the Knights Association. He told me that I am actually his son... Since he has kept it from me for so many years, why didn't he take this secret to the grave! Why did he say it before he died! If he didn't say it, then I would be like the old man's other apprentices now. I don't have to bear these things that disgust me. I don't have to suffer for a thing that has no hope of success Waiting hard for a lifetime!

Because... Old Dove pressed his fingers firmly on Delong's knee, and he held it tightly: Your senior brothers can leave. Because they are just the old guy's apprentices, and you... It's his son! You have his blood flowing on you. Your family's blood flowing! Believe me. I understand your feelings. Look at me. Isn't it the same way I've been here all my life.

You choose to end your bloodline, and I choose the same as you. Deron said lightly.

But I always feel that you are different from me. Old Dove smiled: Don't look at you pretending to be similar, but I feel that you are not in despair!

What are you kidding! Delong laughed suddenly, pointing at Old Dove: I'm not an idiot! Destroy the encirclement with endless glory, pass it on from generation to generation, guard this oath, guard this world!. My dear Dove. You said this oath when you were young, but now we all know that it is a joke! This world We don’t need to guard it anymore! We don’t need us to hide in the dark, waiting for that so-called summoning! Damn it! Fuck it! Who else will come to summon us? I even doubt. They are all extinct! Maybe, you and I are the last two remaining bloodlines! Summoning? Who will summon us? Could it be that His Majesty Aragorn crawled out of the grave to summon us? Could it be that the legendary Messiah suddenly one day .falling from the sky via lightning. Standing in front of us and saying hey, come on, let's go and defend world peace!! Mmmm!? Is that so!!”

In the end. Deron's voice clearly contained anger and mockery!

Pay attention to your words, my dear Deron. Old Dove suddenly showed a trace of anger: Even if you give up in your heart and don't believe in this oath anymore...I don't blame you. Because I didn't believe it a long time ago, But...Your words are yours. Don't show any disrespect to His Majesty Aragorn and the Messiah! This is the bottom line! Every descendant of the Saint Laurent Knights. This is the most basic respect!!

The Knights of Saint Laurent! Deron laughed as if crying: Yes! The great Knights of Saint Laurent, following the founding of His Majesty the Great, are invincible and invincible. They are famous and the strongest in history. The great and most mysterious knight order! But now... this great organization, I'm afraid there are only two of us left! What are you doing? Dove? You sweep the yard every day. Cook in the kitchen with one leg limping! And me? I was in the den of the most expensive goblins in the city. I hugged those expensive prostitutes, drunk and dreamed... What can we do? Defend world peace? What a wonderful joke!!

Old Dove sighed, his eyes became more and more kind.

You...are-angry. Old Dove sighed.

Yes...I'm angry. Delong finally calmed down and sighed: Actually, I've passed the stage of anger. Didn't I have a good life in the past few years...but it's all due to Du Wei He ran over suddenly. He suddenly gave us a glimmer of hope...but this glimmer of hope makes us, who are already desperate and numb, a little at a loss.

talking. Delong suddenly made a face at Old Dove: Actually, don't talk about me, Old Dove! Don't think I don't know. Your heart has also started to move! I saw it secretly one day in the middle of the night. You quietly Hide behind. Wipe your longsword that has been rusting for decades!

Old Dove also pondered silently for a while. There was also some helplessness on his old face: That's right, it's all Du Wei, the little guy. He brought us a feeling of being at a loss.

Maybe. Deron stood up, with an absurd smile in his smile: It's just maybe... maybe like I said, maybe one day. The empire will be destroyed. Then His Majesty Aragorn suddenly descended from the sky and appeared in the In front of us, point your fingers at us, and yell at us majestically, my loyal Saint Laurent knight. Come with me to fight. Come with me to defend world peace! Hahahahahahahahaha...

Maybe it's not a joke... Maybe it will really happen. Old Dove rolled his eyes: It seems that both of us are a little crazy... Okay. We should go and have a good drink.

Maybe... this is really not a joke... But, only the future can have the answer.

To conquer griffins, you must first understand them.

In the room, Du Wei was still listening to Kakarot's narration——} It's a pity that our Lord Duke didn't know that he missed the stairs downstairs. A wonderful conversation between two bastards, one big and one small, also missed an interesting thing.

Kakarot continued to talk about the Griffinland: My teacher, after years of hard work, he joined the mercenary group and entered the southern swamp time and time again. During the adventure, he showed It's very different. Other mercenaries are trying to hunt those low-level monsters, but my teacher is not interested in them. He focuses more on finding griffins. As a result... other mercenaries often Returning with a full load, but my teacher got very little, which made him return to his hometown for many years. The property in his hand is very small, but he has been obsessed with this thing all his life. Until that year... from the Hongxue Mercenary Group One last adventure!

Du Wei took a deep breath: What did your teacher find?

He discovered... Griffons can be domesticated!!

Kakaro said something special. Let Du Wei stand up from the chair! In the teacher's notes, it was written that when the empire was founded, there was a large-scale capture of griffins. The great Aragon the Great brought his invincible Saint Laurent Knights. Entered the southern swamp. With their powerful strength, they captured a group of griffins and brought them back. They wanted to domesticate them, but they failed...

Kakarot said slowly: The teacher has studied that matter carefully.

Du Wei's heart moved. It seemed that he was not the only one who had read the rumor.

But in the end, His Majesty the founding emperor failed. Because he didn't understand the living habits of griffins. In other words, he didn't know how to feed young griffins! We all know. We must domesticate wild animals. It is best to start with cubs! Because adult The wild beast has already been characterized. It is difficult to be domesticated, and the cub is a blank slate! Kakarot said here, smiling: However, His Majesty the founding emperor. Of course the adult griffins captured cannot be tamed. But even those cubs died soon. It is said that the captured griffins died of hunger strike! They don’t eat! As for the artificially fed food, no matter what kind of meat it is, they don’t eat it. .The little griffin cubs all starved to death.

Since then, people have believed that griffins cannot be domesticated. Even if you catch them, they will starve to death. This kind of thing has a certain amount of wisdom, but the teacher had a question back then, even if adult griffins have Wisdom, they will deliberately starve to death after being caught, but why... the cubs also go on a hunger strike? Even if the griffin is an intelligent creature, the cubs should not understand anything! Why do the cubs go on a hunger strike? ?”

So. The teacher still puts the research direction on the cubs! His idea is the same as that of most animal trainers in the world. To tame the beasts, you have to start with the cubs! And he put forward a possible conjecture: The cubs that His Majesty Aragorn captured back then did not die on purpose by starving. It was because His Majesty Aragorn did not know how to feed the cubs of Griffin! They used the wrong method. So the young Griffin refused Eat. They will all starve to death!

Du Wei was already excited: Your teacher. Have you found a way?

Kakarot looked miserable, but he finally gave the answer Du Wei wanted: Yes, he found it! But... this also brought him a tragic fate. [url].
