"Huh?" Luo An glanced at the griffin. After feeding it for over a month, Luo An had become quite familiar with this stinky bird.

But when he actually tried to ride it, this monster, even more powerful than Roan, was staring at him with predatory eyes.

It was as if it was saying, "If Luo An gets close, it will eat Luo An!"

"This isn't good," Roan said, pointing at the griffin. "Look at its expression."

Heather turned around and glanced indifferently at the griffin.

The griffin's expression suddenly changed, and it grinned, letting out a fawning "roar".

Heather turned her head and said, "Don't worry, I left a few wisps of my aura on it. If it hurts you, tell me, and I'll make the aura take effect and tear its wing roots apart. It will never be able to fly again."

The gentle voice uttered extremely malicious words; no wonder this guy dared not leave the forest.

Heather beckoned to Roan once again.

"If you're scared, I'll ride with you."

Roan quickly waved his hand, saying that Heather was a dignified lord and could not ride the same mount as Roan.

As a knight, Roan also had his own sense of pride.

Firstly, never get too close to women with a big reputation, as it will cause a lot of trouble.

L'Oréal is an example.

Waving Heather away, Roan climbed onto the griffin's back and could indeed feel a different perspective than usual.

"Be careful," Heather warned.

"This is no joke. When the fluffy ball flies up, you have to hold on tightly to its mane to prevent it from falling."

Luo An did as instructed.

Immediately, the griffin let out a disgruntled roar, reluctantly flapped its wings, and then leaped up, soaring into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they were already dozens of meters off the ground. The cold wind made it impossible for Luo An to open his eyes, so he could only cling tightly to the back of the griffin.

A few breaths later, the wind suddenly subsided, and when he opened his eyes again, Luo An was already hundreds of meters in the air.

This is flying, completely different from being confined in an iron box in his previous life. It's truly touching the sky, this world, and looking out, from beneath him to the horizon, there's nowhere Luo An can't reach.

Luo An felt exhilarated and let out a roar, only to be met with a disdainful snort from the griffin.

Luo An didn't care. Looking down, he saw that the massive fortress had already built its initial walls, inside which were countless neat wheat fields. To the north, a blacksmith's shop was burning with a furnace, and Jia, shirtless, was clumsily hammering a longsword with his left hand.

In the distance, the guards patrolled under Jackie's leadership, while Pétain and Reeves directed the wooden cranes and manpower to move stones and build the initial shape of the castle.

A thought struck Roan, and he ordered the griffin to land at the castle.

Although reluctant, the griffin turned around and slowly landed in front of the castle.

The guards had already spotted the enormous beast, and the alarm horns sounded throughout the fortress. The guards turned their ballistae and aimed at the slowly descending griffin.

Luo An quickly poked his head out and waved to the people below.

"it's me."

"It's Lord Luo An! My God, Lord Luo An has tamed a... a strange bird." This was the first time the guard had ever seen a griffin.

"Luo An?!" Levi shouted angrily when he saw Luo An.

"Roan! What are you doing? How can you ride the lord's mount! Get down! It's not safe up there!"

The griffin slowly descended, and Levi stormed towards Roan. "Roan! You've alerted the entire fortress! Have you forgotten all the chivalrous etiquette I taught you?!"

"Levi, don't be angry," Pétain said, standing to the side in the cold wind. "Roan is of commoner origin, so it's normal for him not to know etiquette. As a true nobleman, one should also tolerate the rudeness of commoners."

"Get out of my way," Levi said irritably.

Seeing that Levi was really angry, Luo An had no choice but to jump off the griffin, secretly thinking that things were going badly.

Arriving directly at the fortress did indeed alert the fortress's security forces, and this was Roan's fault.

Levi came up, glanced at Roan, and asked, "How are you? You're not hurt, are you?"

Luo An was taken aback and couldn't help but find it amusing. It was just flying; how could he possibly get hurt?

At this moment, Heather also arrived at the fortress, and Levi quickly went to greet her.

"My lord, I apologize. It was I who made Luo An ride this magical beast; it was not Luo An's fault."

"..." Heather glanced at Roan and said calmly, "How was it up there?"

"Not bad," Luo An answered honestly. Better than he had imagined.

"That's good." Heather nodded. "From now on, how about you ride the furball and patrol Loton's territory, clearing out magical beasts?"

Roan was taken aback. This—sounded very good. The fortress construction had reached a stable stage, and the remaining task was to deal with the endless reports. Heather had really helped Roan a lot.

"What? You don't want to?" Heather beckoned to Bedan.

"Guard Pétain, come here."

Pétain snorted, crossed his arms, and remained motionless.

"Heather Lowton, please address me as Lord Pétain Silversor."

Heather's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

Levi quickly came to the rescue. "Roan, what are you standing there for? Quickly agree to Heather's request."

Roan nodded. "It's an honor, Your Lordship."

However, Luo An also had a question: this wasn't Heather's mount, so why wasn't she riding it herself?

"And another thing," Heather continued, "you can patrol the territory outside of Lorton."

"Those lords are all trash, scum. They could die a thousand times over and it wouldn't matter."

The people living within their territory are innocent and should not be made to pay the price for the incompetence of the nobility.

"Luo An, in your own name, clean up the monsters."

Luo An suddenly understood; no wonder Heather didn't ride a griffin.

She had already figured out the purpose of the griffin and what she wanted to do with it.

The only problem is that this woman won't do it herself.

Luo An didn't care at all; his hands were itching to try out new combat techniques on a monster.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Roan bowed. "However, at least for now, I am still the captain of Lorton's guard and will still receive my weekly wage from you. I will do so in the name of the Knights of Lorton."

"Whatever," Heather waved her hand. "Levi, is there a problem?"

Levi hadn't said a word until just now.

Luo An thought Levi would be happy for him.

Levi nodded with a strange expression. Hearing this news, for some reason, Levi felt a surge of excitement.

He's finally the captain of the guard again—no, the important thing isn't that he's the captain of the guard.

Instead, with Roan gone, he finally had a reason to approach the granary and the flesh and blood of the dragon.

Taking a deep breath, Levi suppressed the twitching of his face from excitement.

"No problem. Your Lordship... Roan, obey your orders and do your job well. Like a true... knight. Don't worry about this, I'll handle it."

Luo An frowned slightly; this was somewhat different from the usual Levi's.

Logically, Levi would have specifically instructed Roan to be fully familiar with controlling the griffin before carrying out the mission.

He also reminded Luo Anduo to be careful and cautious.

It will definitely not be as uneventful as it is today.
