"Letter from the Kingdom?"
When he saw the huge griffin falling from the sky, Li Yi had a bad premonition in his heart.
He never thought that Anduin would contact him in this way.
Perhaps even Anduin himself overlooked this:
If this were still a battle, the other side could have killed the messenger griffon directly before it could react.
The golden fur, sharp beak, and huge claws are enough to easily tear apart ordinary people.
Due to their relatively strong combat effectiveness, griffins, a magical beast that is easily tamed by humans, quickly became the most popular means of transportation in the human kingdom.
But the huge cost of raising griffins also makes it impossible to raise them on a large scale.
Especially when people discovered that the griffins flying in the sky were not invincible. It only took a little temptation and a simple city defense cannon to knock an expensive griffon down from the sky.
In view of the above two points, the "Gryphon Taming Competition" that once flourished on the mainland for a period of time was quickly left out.
Only those with relatively strong national power, such as the Empire of Storms and other human kingdoms, still retain part of their gryphon troops, but they are only used as field messengers in emergencies, and usually only during troop drills and training. Available.
After reading the letter carried by the griffon, Li Yi suddenly had questions in his heart.
Ancient behemoth?
Reappear in the world?
Near the Plains of Sail? Isn't that around Cliff City?
So the question is, what is this ancient behemoth that made Anduin send a messenger griffon to tell him about it regardless of the danger?
As for the larger part of the letter urging him to send back the information about the Advent Legion as soon as possible, Li Yi selectively ignored it.
Do we really need to tell Anduin that they have disbanded, or should we withdraw too?
Just guess whether Anduin believes it or not.
Li Yi put away the letter and nodded.
"I understand, please go back."
"Ouch!"
After seeing Li Yi put away the letter, the messenger griffin screamed and did not leave. Instead, it stared at him with its eagle-like eyes, as if to say that he still had something to do.
Li Yi looked at Xiao Lu: "What does it mean?"
"Probably asking for food."
Li Yi nodded. He had heard of this. Similar to homing pigeons, after a long journey, people who receive letters will let the messenger eat half full. This can not only restore the messenger's physical strength, but also prevent him from going too long without eating. Fainted halfway.
Thinking of this, Li Yi took out a piece of mutton he just bought on the street and threw it directly to the messenger griffon.
After the other party caught it, he raised his neck and swallowed the palm-sized piece of meat directly with a sip of wine.
However, after eating, the messenger griffon did not leave. It still stared at Li Yi closely and barked again.
Ouch!
"Huh? Didn't you eat enough?" Li Yi thought the same thing. For such a big body, the appetite must be unusual, so he simply threw half of the mutton he just bought at the market to it.
This time, the messenger griffon quickly got rid of the mutton that reached his mouth in three strokes and five divided by two. At the end, he burped very humanely, which made Li Yi happy.
However, what he didn't expect was that even though he was full, the messenger griffin still had no intention of leaving, and even this time it barked a few more times than before.
It seems that I have more strength after eating.
Phew!
Li Yi:...?
Unable to bear it, he asked again: "What does this mean? Isn't this guy full?"
Xiaolu spread his hands: "Who knows, maybe I'm relying on you."
Li Yi's face darkened: "Can't you connect to the database to check?"
Xiaolu stuck out her tongue: "I forgot about this." After saying that, he rolled his eyes and quickly connected with his binary self. After a few clicks, he got the answer.
"I see, in addition to delivering the letter, it also wants you to write a reply. It says that in addition to delivering the letter, the well-trained griffon will also take the reply back with the sender's additional instructions. It seems that His Majesty the King wants you to reply immediately!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaolu saw a scene that stunned her.
I saw Li Yi taking long strides, walking directly to the messenger griffon, grabbing the feathers from the griffin's neck, ignoring the other party's struggle, throwing it directly into the air.
The other party fluttered in the air for a while before reluctantly flying up, and then shouted angrily at Li Yi.
Boo hoo hoo.
Suddenly, even the residents of Cliff City who were busy with their own affairs were attracted by this movement.
When they saw a huge gryphon roaring in the sky, they seemed a little scared. Although this kind of carnivorous raptor rarely hurt people, such a big one was flying overhead, and it was still... It made them a little uneasy.
But when they discovered that the griffin was just barking at one person, the original fear suddenly disappeared, and what was left was pure curiosity.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Li Yi clapped his hands, patted off the gryphon feathers that he had accidentally pulled off, and said lightly:
"It goes without saying that since it doesn't want to leave, then I will give it a ride. There will definitely be no reply. Even if I am willing to write, he will definitely not believe it. In this case, why bother with it."
Hearing this, Xiao Lu also reacted.
"That's right! The reply your king wants is nothing more than to know information, but now this is no longer a battlefield, and there is no information left... Why don't you tell him the truth about the current situation, and then go to Sail Plains to wait. Yes? Now it seems that the news about the ancient beast is obviously more important."
Li Yi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He couldn't always escape from reality, not to mention that he was not responsible for this matter in the first place. He just told the truth.
It can't be said that a place that was originally regarded as a battlefield suddenly became peaceful. Even the expected opponents were dismissed on the spot, but you still insisted on finding an opponent.
Isn’t this nonsense!
What's more, whether there can be a war, it is naturally better not to fight. Li Yi has never believed that any war must be fought.
It would be great if we all sit down and talk calmly. People will die in war.
So he waved his hand to recruit the messenger griffon again, wrote the reply in a few strokes, and handed it to the messenger griffin.
Finally completing its mission, the messenger griffon nodded, spread its wings and quickly flew into the air. Then he turned his head and glanced at Li Yi. From that look, he seemed to want to remember the man who had lifted him into the air. He kept his posture, flapped his wings vigorously afterwards, and disappeared from sight.
Li Yi: ...what? Still holding a grudge?
"It seems like it remembers you."
"Let it be remembered. It's just a monster. Am I still afraid of it?" Li Yi patted the dust on his hand nonchalantly.
Just when he was about to leave for the nearby Sail Plain to wait, Li Qingshan's voice came from the bottom of his heart, making him stunned.
What he didn't expect was that he originally thought Li Qingshan would fall into a deep sleep for a long time, but now there would be movement so quickly.
"Li Yi?"
"It's me." Li Yi looked calm on the surface, but he was shocked in his heart.
He remembered that he did not tell the other party his name.
How did he know?
"Go to a place where no one is around first. I have something to say to you." Li Qingshan's voice echoed in his mind.
This made Li Yi feel a little weird.
A stranger's voice sounds in your mind, and you set it up so that the other person can know and respond to whatever you think. It's like someone has placed a monitor in your heart, spying on the voice in your heart all the time.
"Don't reject it. I've said it a long time ago. The purpose of me looking for you is to get together. Although it's a little different from what I originally imagined... the result is the same, and you probably don't know it yet. A guiding seed has been planted in your heart a long time ago. This seed will constantly guide your actions subconsciously and follow that person's predetermined trajectory. What do you think will happen to you if this continues?"
