According to Yan, the place where he lives is called Holy Beast Island, and this name has been passed down from generation to generation by the residents on the island.
The so-called "sacred beasts" are a group of people living on an island in the lake at the very center of the island.
Its appearance is unique and unusual, as if it is a perfect fusion of a lion and an eagle.
Moreover, the body of the sacred beast is huge and extremely strong, and its entire body is covered with a layer of dazzling golden fur.
Its head is very similar to that of an eagle, with an extremely hard beak, and the majority of its body is more like that of a lion, with sharp claws and a tail.
Yan had once had close contact with the sacred beast, and what impressed him most was the sacred beast's eyes.
Those eyes were like burning flames, emitting powerful strength and extraordinary wisdom, so Yan was very sure that the sacred beast was different from ordinary wild beasts. The sacred beast had wisdom and could communicate with humans.
The most fascinating thing about the sacred beast is its broad and huge wings. When the sacred beast flies in the sky, it is simply a visual feast!
Listening to Yan's story, Krober felt more and more that this so-called "holy beast" seemed to be the one he had seen in the book "Encyclopedia of Habits of Warcraft Creatures".
"Does the sacred beast you're talking about usually catch prey with its forelimb claws, and its wing feathers are iron-colored or silver?"
Yan, who was interrupted, did not get angry, and said blankly:
"How did you know that?"
Krober was now certain that the "holy beast" Yankou was talking about was the griffin.
Griffins, when fully grown, have the strength of a mid-level Warcraft. They are a monogamous race of Warcraft that practices lifelong mating. They generally live in families and give birth to two to three cubs per litter on average.
The most crucial point is that griffins belong to the group of magical beasts that can be tamed. Although the process is challenging and difficult, as long as it succeeds, Krober will control an extremely powerful air force.
Normally, griffins stand on all fours. Excluding the length of their tails, their bodies are roughly 2-3 meters long, and their wingspan is about 7-8 meters.
Male griffins are relatively heavier, weighing about a thousand pounds; while female griffins are much lighter, weighing only about one-third of the male, around seven hundred pounds.
Griffins have an extremely long lifespan, which means their strength grows with age.
A mid-level magical beast-level griffin can usually live for about three hundred years, which is similar to the lifespan of a human knight.
However, once promoted to a high-level magical beast, the griffin's lifespan will suddenly increase to 600 years, which is equivalent to the minimum lifespan of a human sky knight.
When they reach the level of top-level magical beasts, they will have a lifespan of up to a thousand years, which is equal to the lifespan of human fantasy beast knights.
According to incomplete statistics from the Council of Scholars, excluding those griffins that died prematurely, the vast majority of griffins will safely enter the level of high-level magical beasts, half of the griffins will become top-level magical beasts, and the success rate of becoming a fantasy beast is about 10%.
It can be tamed, has a long lifespan, and has a high success rate in becoming a mythical beast; it is almost synonymous with perfection.
But unfortunately, as the overlord of the sky second only to dragons, griffins have an arrogant character that is almost the same as that of dragons. They will almost instinctively refuse any life to ride on their backs. If you want to ride a griffin, you must train it from an early age. The long growth period and high cost of taming a griffin are enough to drag down most nobles.
But this does not affect the value of griffins. Originally, there were griffins living in the Moyi Forest. But since the Western Expedition began, the number of magical beasts inside the Moyi Forest has become fewer and fewer. Moreover, for flying magical beasts like griffins, changing a habitat is really a simple matter.
Griffins are very vigilant. If they encounter an enemy they cannot match, they will immediately flee their original habitat and look for a new location.
Seeing that Krober had no intention of responding to his question, Yan had no choice but to continue introducing the situation of the Holy Beast Island.
Out of respect and fear for the sacred beast, the Sea People tribe usually does not go deep into the forest to hunt, but relies on fishing and growing some crops to ensure their survival.
However, due to the rapid increase in the population of the tribe in recent years, they did not dare to go too deep into the forest, so they could only gather dozens of the strongest people in the tribe to go out and explore new islands. After drifting for a period of time, they arrived at the so-called Three Daughters Islands, and the things that happened later happened.
After listening to Yan's explanation, Krober raised his eyebrows:
"Then why did you tell me so much? Do you want me to spare your life?"
After hearing this, Yan was silent for a moment, then said embarrassedly:
"I... I talked to Ethan before, and he told me about your powerful country. Your... elves, yes, elves, can grow more food to fill my stomach and my people's stomachs. So I want to join you and become your people."
Ethan? Hearing this name, Kroeber's face showed a hint of doubt. He turned to look at Hyer beside him, as if waiting for his explanation.
Seeing this, Hyer quickly replied: "Sir, Ethan is the pirate leader who was once executed by Lord Foster himself."
Oh~ Krober nodded noncommittally, indicating that he understood. His gaze fell on Yan again, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference.
He patted Yan's shoulder gently and said in a heavy tone:
