GOR Chapter 532 "Blood Feeding"
Kakarrot became a rising star in the Imperial Capital.
As the final victor of the tournament, he received a prize of 100,000 gold coins and the title of a knight of the eighth level – although his true strength was only that of a knight of the seventh level. But after all, as the leader of Roland's Sword Knight Regiment, the symbol of revitalizing the Knight Association, a Level 7 title was too shabby.
Therefore, Mr. President Deron waved his pen and gave him the title of Level 8.
Moreover, Kakarrot was very young, handsome, strong, and popular. Naturally, he became a very popular figure in the aristocratic circle of the Imperial Capital. At the same time, everyone knew that Kakarrot seemed to have a good relationship with the Duke of the Tulip Family.
Roland's Sword Knight Regiment currently had 50 members. Of course, after the celebration in the square that day, Elu quietly withdrew from the Knight Regiment and left quietly. Therefore, after consulting Du Wei, a new member was added to the Knight Regiment to replace Elu's position.
Malone! The one who had once fought with Randall, the Knight Captain of the Holy Knights in the ring, a barbarian-like warrior who had once killed a nest of black bears with his bare hands, had been absorbed into the Holy Knights Regiment.
By the way, according to Du Wei's private judgment, he even felt that this Malone was likely to be one of the strongest warriors in the Knight Regiment … but he had bad luck and met the Holy Order Knight early in the tournament.
But if it was a real fight, Kakarrot may not necessarily be able to defeat this Malone.
In addition, Du Wei was very interested in this Malone because this guy's physical strength was ridiculously strong. Among the people that Du Wei had seen, only the lion-like guy named Rhine, who was adopted by Archbishop Maximos, could match him.
No matter what, the Continental Knight Association relied on this Martial Arts Competition to become famous. More importantly, this Martial Arts Competition triggered a trend in the Empire to practice martial arts, whether it was following the trend or just joining in on the fun. In short, even the young aristocrats in the Imperial Capital were now wearing warrior costumes in public. The luxurious aristocratic attire that was popular in the past was abandoned and replaced by a variety of warrior costumes.
More importantly, the Knight Association relied on this tournament to earn enough funds. The Duke of the Tulip Family generously donated 100 first-class warhorses to the Roland's Sword Knight Regiment as the Knight's mounts.

When Du Wei returned to the Imperial Capital after completing his official duties in the North, he was informed that Mr. Kakarrot Knight had been visiting for three days in a row. The young man would wait for half a day in the Tulip Family Mansion every day.
"Master Gabri likes that guy very much. He often pulls Mr. Kakarrot to practice martial arts."
The little butler, Sandy, personally led Du Wei's horse and said with a smile: "Today, Mr. Kakarrot came early in the morning. I'm afraid that he is still in Master Gabri's courtyard."
Du Wei nodded: "Is Hussain back?"
"He is back." Sandy nodded: "He should be in your study now."
Du Wei smiled when he heard this and said to his little butler, Sandy: "Go ask Kakarrot Knight to come see me. Go to my study."
Hussain lived in another room in the courtyard of Du Wei's study.
Although he had gotten rid of the annoying wanted order, the habit of living in seclusion that he had developed over the years had not been changed.
When Du Wei returned to the study, he saw Hussain wiping his armor in the courtyard. Paladin's expression was serious and meticulous.
"You know what?" Du Wei smiled: "As a Senior Knight, you should have several squires. Cleaning your armor or taking care of your horse should not be done by you."
Raising his head, Hussein wasn't surprised to see Du Wei coming in. Instead, he spoke in a light tone: "The matter you entrusted to me has been completed. I put the things you wanted on your table. "
"Well, did everything go well?" Du Wei nodded.
"It went well. No one knows that I did it. It's just that … … this guy really deserved to die. "
"Oh?" Du Wei asked.
"When I killed him, he was using violence … … to bully a woman."
Du Wei nodded: "Well, friend. Put down your armor … … You don't need to wipe this set of things. In fact, I have prepared some good things for you. I have to meet a guest first, and I will give you that set of things in a while. Well … … throw away the scrap metal in your hands. "
Du Wei blinked and smiled proudly.
When Kakarrot was invited to Du Wei's study by little Sandy, the young man's expression had a hint of excitement.
The door was closed. Du Wei sat behind the table and looked at the nervous Kakarrot: "Well, I think you know why I invited you here. I can now fulfill my promise to you. "
With that, Du Wei pointed to a square wooden box on the table: "The things you want are there."
"I know, in fact, you would prefer to do it yourself. But … … that would take too much time. Although I can help you, after all, you don't have an official position yet. You only have a little status and wealth. If you want to deal with a local garrison commander by yourself, you will have to struggle for at least a few years. But we don't have time … … "Du Wei looked at Kakarrot very seriously:" I need your secret! It's very important! "
Kakarrot took a deep breath, walked to the table, lifted the lid of the wooden box, and took a look inside.
Inside was a head, and in order to prevent it from rotting, it was sprinkled with lime, but its original appearance could still be seen.
Seeing the head in the box, Kakarrot's expression became very complicated. His eyes were full of excitement. After carefully identifying it, he closed the lid.
"You can take it away." Du Wei smiled: "You can do whatever you want with it."
"I owe you." Kakarrot stared at Du Wei: "You helped me get revenge, so I owe you a lot."
"I need the secret about Gryphons." Du Wei sighed: "You just have to tell me that, and you will have paid it off."
Kakarrot immediately took out a worn-out book from his bosom: "It's all inside. This is the note left by my teacher when he was alive."
He put the book on Du Wei's table and looked into Du Wei's eyes: "Your Excellency Duke, from now on, my life is also yours. I swear on my soul that I am willing to be loyal to you for the rest of my life! "
"Actually, you don't need to do this." Du Wei sighed.
"I know that for a big shot like you, you don't care about the loyalty of a small character like me. But I still have to do it. I swear. " Kakarrot said very seriously: "You helped me fulfill the biggest wish of my life and helped me get revenge."
The stubborn young man said, picked up the wooden box, bowed deeply to Du Wei, and then strode away.
Watching the young man leave, Du Wei just sighed, and then immediately began to flip through the book …
This book was not only about the various studies of Gryphons, but in Du Wei's view, it was also the notes of a very different nature enthusiast in this era … It was like the National Geographic Magazine programs he had seen in his previous life.
— — —
In fact, the secret about Gryphons was not as complicated as imagined. The reason why Aragon failed at that time was mainly because he had used the wrong feeding method on the Gryphon cubs that he caught, causing all the cubs to starve to death.
And in this book, the secret of Gryphons, this magical creature, was exposed!
Gryphons were oviparous, not viviparous.
A Gryphon had a lifespan of about twenty years. A two-year-old Gryphon was basically an adult. It could have strong strength and strong wings, sharp claws and teeth … At the same time, it could also reproduce.
An adult Gryphon could lay four to six eggs, and the incubation process took about four months.
The biggest secret was the first feeding of a newly hatched Gryphon cub after it was born!
According to the notes left by Kakarrot's teacher, this guy who was obsessed with Gryphon research had once lurked in a Gryphon settlement in the southern swamps for a long time, risking his life to discover such a scene …
When a Gryphon cub that had just broken out of its shell was born, the adult Gryphon would first feed it, and this feeding of food had a special meaning! It was also because of this feeding that the young Gryphon had the ability to distinguish who was its' parent '!
Kakarrot's teacher had witnessed an adult Gryphon feeding its cub for the first time. It was not the meat of prey that people imagined being sent into the cub's mouth … Instead, it was blood!
"It pierced its claws and dripped the blood flowing from its claws into the cub's mouth … Witnessing this scene, I was stunned! I have never heard of this feeding method, let alone seen it! What I mean is that many creatures in this world, such as cows, sheep, and horses, feed their young with blood, while birds hunt for prey … Humans also use blood. But a Gryphon … such a ferocious thing actually uses its own blood to feed its young! "
It was precisely because of this reason that the young Gryphons that tasted their parents' blood had a kind of smell discrimination. They refused to eat any other food! They only drank their parents' blood!
And a Gryphon had to drink their parents' blood for about two months, and then they would meet to 'stop bleeding'. This was just like a person 'weaning'.
During this special 'feeding' period, adult male Gryphons would frequently hunt prey, while female Gryphons would appear weak due to blood loss and stay in the nest. All the food was provided by the male Gryphons.
"Obviously, His Majesty, the founding emperor a thousand years ago, made a mistake in feeding the young Gryphons. He had people feed the young Gryphons meat … But he didn't know that the young Gryphons didn't eat this kind of thing at all. They only drank blood, the blood of their mother!"
"After drinking blood for two months, the young Gryphons will grow a little, and then they will stop drinking blood. The two month old Gryphons have already grown teeth, but at this time, they have already learned to recognize their parents, and only eat the prey brought back by their parents. At this time, if someone else feeds them, they will refuse to eat. After one year, the young Gryphons will try to hunt, and will try to go out with the Gryphon hunting group. When they are about two years old, the young Gryphons are considered adults, and will be chased out of the nest by their parents to establish another family. "
"According to my guess, if we want to tame this kind of beast, then there may be a way. The first way is to secretly get a few Gryphon eggs, and then when it is born, feed it something else, so that the young Gryphons will think that the person feeding them is their parents. Otherwise, they will not eat any other food … The failure of Emperor Aragon was because of this reason. "
"Our biggest problem is how to make the young Gryphons eat and prevent them from starving to death. As long as they don't die, taming these things should not be too difficult. As long as we solve this problem, we can do it! "
Du Wei closed the booklet. The handwriting on it was messy, and the notes were also very rough. Obviously, Kakarrot's teacher's cultural level was not high. But the content of this booklet, to Du-Wei, was worth thousands of gold!
"It seems that we need Gryphon eggs." Du Wei sighed.
But Gryphon eggs were not easy to get! Even if a large number of troops were sent, it would be difficult to defeat those ferocious beasts that lived in groups …
As a last resort, Du Wei invited Hussain.
"I'm sorry, my friend, I have to trouble you again … to go to the south again." Du Wei smiled bitterly. "I need you to help me bring back some Gryphon eggs. The more, the better."
Hussain's expression was very calm.
"But before you go, I have a gift for you."
