Heart of the Castle

Chapter 185
Flying in the sky to your heart's content may be the dream of many human beings in their lifetime.However, as a species born without wings, the scope of human activities is undoubtedly mainly on the ground, and the sky is still reserved for those friends with wings.Maybe some legendary powerhouses—such as sky knights or great magisters—could touch this area for a short time with the power of vindictiveness and magic, but in the end they had to return to the earth helplessly to prevent them from becoming like a stone due to exhaustion of power. The same fell down.

Legend has it that in the far west, among the orc tribes who drink blood and drink blood, there is a powerful and special force called the Wyvern Sky Knights.This troop rides on a domesticated wyvern, which can launch terrifying attacks from the air. It is called the screaming death in the air.What makes the human kings fearful is that the strong city defenses and mighty knights of the human kingdom are worse than paper in front of this army.

There are rumors among the knights stationed on the western border: When the unique and weird cry of the screaming god of death is heard in the air, you have two choices, one is to die screaming, and the other is to pray for the mercy of the Father God.

Wilps once followed a wandering knight to the Kingdom of Great Asia on the western border, where their luck was very bad—or very good, they did not encounter any attack from the Wyvern Knights, although They returned safely and made a lot of money, but Wilpus has always been worried about this matter.

But this time, he didn't need to feel sorry anymore.

Wilps is now in the air 300 meters above the ground, under his body is a mighty beast with brown fur and off-white wings.The Grand Knight has ten years of experience as an adventurer. He has traveled all over the four human kingdoms, and even went to the Whispering Forest, where he has seen the extraordinary beauty of the elves and the matching arrows.However, in his rich knowledge, he has never seen such a strange and noble life.

Griffin.

Li Wei once called this beast like this, and Wilps felt that this name was just right, not only pointing out the characteristics of this beast, but also catchy.If he was asked to come up with a name, I'm afraid it would be rude to call it "Griffin-headed Winged Beast".

Not long ago, to be precise, at noon today, Li Wei drove the huge griffin down from the sky, shocking all the knights on the castle roof.Each of the knights had enough combat experience to recognize right away that these beasts were not just for nothing.

The griffin's muscles wrapped under the brown fur are extremely developed, with smooth lines, containing extremely terrifying explosive power; a pair of front claws are sharper than those of male lions, and when the hook claws are fully ejected, they are like five unstoppable daggers; Coupled with the huge eagle beak that makes people feel shuddering, when it is pecked down, its power is definitely more than that of a heavy pickaxe. Even the strongest armor and shield are quite difficult to deal with.

It seems that this ferocious beast is simply a perfect war machine. When some knights stood in front of the griffin, they even felt fear and trembling from the bottom of their hearts.But Wilps didn't have the slightest fear, not only because of his own superior strength, but more importantly, the great knight grew up in the eyes of the griffin, and saw no viciousness and cruelty, only pride and self-esteem .

This is a very proud and noble life, just like a real knight.

Wilps thought so, and the feeling of dizziness and discomfort at high altitude also subsided a lot.Up, down, left, and right, there are 11 similar beasts flying, and 11 knights who minimize the weight of their equipment sit on the backs of the beasts, experiencing flying experience that they have never had before.

Although Wilps couldn't see the expressions of each of them clearly, it can be seen from the fact that these knights chose to hold the griffin's neck tightly with both hands, as if they were stiff and motionless. Just as nervous.

Looking down from a height of 300 meters, the dense fog created by the demons using the dark power is churning and surging, like a gray-black raging sea.Although the west slanting sunlight is still strong, it has no way to penetrate the thick fog, and can only coat the knights with a layer of bright gold.Wilps stretched out his hands that seemed a little numb due to tension and cold, and wrapped the woolen cloak tighter, but he still couldn't resist the sharp claw-like wind that gradually pierced his bone marrow.

"About 5000 meters ahead, traces of volcanic activity were found!"

The young man's clear voice came from a griffin in the front. Wilps looked up and looked forward. The fiery red vindictive light protected his face, so that he could clearly see that the griffin Not only is it larger than ordinary griffins, but it also has a luxurious golden color on its body.

Even though the howling wind didn't stop for a moment, Li Wei's voice still reached the ears of every knight.

"My lords, please get ready!"

"Start swooping!"

There was a vibration from below, and the two wide wings of the griffin slightly folded, and began to dive.Wilps prayed silently, first the name of the Lord of Radiance, and then God the Father. When he was considering whether to pray to the goddess of love and life, Alara, the feeling of weightlessness that seemed to float made him almost Call out.

What followed was a burst of intense discomfort from the internal organs being pulled, Wilps tried his best to restrain the scream that might blurt out at any time, and tightly closed his eyes.He swore that as long as he had a chance to keep his feet on the ground, he must walk away from the old man on foot, and never fly back to the castle with this terrible beast!
At this moment, Wilps even showed admiration for the members of the Wyvern Air Riders.Being able to sit and fly around on these terrible guys for years and months is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

The gray-black mist rushed towards them, and the biting cold intensified to its peak. The knights' bodies were lit up with bright or faint vindictive light, resisting the cold wind and the suffocating thick fog.Wilps tried his best to open his eyes, trying to see the surrounding scenery clearly, but he could only see the fog rushing in front of his eyes, rolling and being torn apart, forming clear trails behind him.

Suddenly, the fog in front of him dissipated, and the majestic figure of the old Sir Volcano jumped into view.It seems that the old man is obviously furious, roaring deafeningly, and spraying a large amount of hot magma into the air, and then turning it into countless black volcanic rocks and smashing it down.

Led by the golden griffin at the head, the entire griffin air raid team circled around the old sir, looking for a place to land.However, looking down from the sky, there are billowing sulfur clouds and magma lakes everywhere, and some obsidian protrusions are like small islands above the sea of ​​fire, and there is no place to stay.

When circling for the second time, Li Wei used probing techniques to search, and a small cluster of red light spots representing danger appeared below. However, when Li Wei looked at the place carefully, he couldn't help taking a puff of smoke full of sulfurous poison. The air, coughing violently.

The location of the devil's altar is actually on the side wall of the Old Lord's crater!There the demons had dug a cave quite large, big enough to house an altar and allow hundreds of demons to inhabit it.But there is a paradise for demons, not a place that humans can touch casually. Just looking at the rain of lava erupting from the crater of the old sir can make the most brave and fearless knight feel dreadful.

It is simply a place to die!

"Lord Li Wei, there is only one way now, to land directly into that cave!" A sharp voice appeared in Li Wei's mind, which was the thought wave from the Griffin King under his body.Like other alchemy warriors, the Griffin uses an alchemy soul whose wisdom is not inferior to that of ordinary humans, but due to natural limitations, it cannot speak in human language.

Landing directly in the crater?The idea is crazy!Li Wei almost cursed at that moment.That is not an ordinary risky behavior. As long as there is a slight error, the consequences waiting for Li Wei and the others are to crash into a bloody mass in the hot crater, and then fall directly into the magma lake, leaving no bones left!
