Chapter 39: The Fantasy of Flying Mounts (Page 1/2)
Frank did not expect that Priscilla would understand the situation of the demon hunters so quickly, nor did he expect this young girl to immediately move from innocence and romance to maturity.
She was too young, and was just a girl who had not graduated from the academy.
The reason why Frank was willing to tell her so much was because he saw many precious qualities in Priscilla that ordinary people did not have.
Kindness, courage, perseverance, and excellent talents.
Facing such a girl, I think no matter who it is, they would be willing to lend a hand and remind her to avoid detours.
What's more, in the future, Priscilla may become his partner and help him run the detective agency together.
The commission of the griffin was completed smoothly. After returning to the White Orchard, the head of the beast was handed over to the lord here by the poet lady, and a bounty of two hundred orens was successfully received.
According to Priscilla, the head would probably be taken as a trophy by the lord and made into a specimen and hung in the hall of their house.
The lord was very satisfied with the efficiency of Frank and others, and promised that if there were similar commissions in the future, they would definitely give priority to them.
Of course, Frank thought this was just bullshit.
When they left the White Orchard, and even left the Kingdom of Temeria, and arrived at Bull Castle, with the communication means of the wizard world, it would take the Lord of the White Orchard a long time to find them.
Besides, even if the Lord could cross the long distance and issue a commission to them in Bull Castle at that time.
Unless the reward was really high enough to offset the travel expenses between the two places, and there was more profit, Frank would not waste so much time to do cross-border business.
At night, Frank took a bath again and washed off the disgusting smell on his body. He successfully sold one of the griffin eggs to the alchemist Kalkstein. A
full three hundred orens, which was more generous than the Lord.
Originally, the alchemist wanted to pay another three hundred orens to buy another griffin egg in Frank's hand, but unfortunately the witcher refused after considering it.
As a fan of fantasy works, Frank really couldn't resist the temptation of a flying mount.
According to his knowledge as a demon hunter, there are too few creatures in the wizarding world that can be used as flying mounts.
Pterodactyls, petrified chicken snakes, and griffins are the three most common flying monsters.
Pterodactyls are ferocious and huge, but their wings are too small. Although they can fly short distances, their weight and physical strength cannot support long-distance journeys. Although
some druids with high magic power can tame pterodactyls, no one has ever heard of anyone who can ride a pterodactyl and complete the flight.
Petrified chicken snakes are also impossible. This is a pure monster that comes from the intersection of celestial bodies. It is born to be an enemy of humans and even feeds on humans.
The IQ of this monster is very low. It is impossible to communicate with it or tame it. Moreover, according to the research of scholars, petrified chicken snakes are nocturnal creatures that like to move at night. They usually live in dark and humid caves and will not stay in the sun for too long.
This undoubtedly reduces the possibility of wanting to tame them as flying mounts.
Therefore, after considering many possibilities, Frank believes that the most likely flying mounts are only griffins and legendary dragons.
The former's loyal character and huge size make it possible to be tamed. The latter
is because dragons are intelligent creatures, their intelligence is even comparable to that of humans, but because of the different languages ββββthe two sides have never really communicated. The
most prominent examples are the golden dragons that appeared in the original book and the game, the three jackdaws Borch, and his daughter Sakia.
These two dragons are not only incredibly intelligent and can communicate normally with humans, but also have very powerful combat power, and even their personalities are purer than humans.
