Chapter 415 - 415 196 Griffin Knight_3

415: Chapter 196 Griffin Knight_3 415: Chapter 196 Griffin Knight_3 Leon was utterly mesmerized.

…Beautiful, astonishing; beyond these, he could find no more apt description.

He couldn’t put into words the pleasure and joy brought by the freedom to soar through the skies.

No wonder…

in his previous life, so many tycoons were willing to take enormous risks just to experience the joy of chasing the blue skies.

Regaining his composure, Leon looked down at the tiny forests and mountains below.

He quickly tugged on the iron reins to remind Death Claw not to fly too far ahead.

The griffin cried out mid-flight and immediately banked its body to one side.

With a flick of its long lion tail, the gigantic beast made an exaggerated U-turn in the sky and dove down again, passing through the lofty clouds.

…The griffin’s descent was much faster than its ascent, and it didn’t take long for Leon to steer Death Claw back above Avalon Castle, landing once again in the square.

A group of friends surrounded him.

“How was it, how was it, Leon?

How does it feel to be up in the sky?

Fun?” Lokhak asked enviously, raising his voice.

With a long exhale, Leon expressed to his brother, “…How should I put it, there was a bit of weightlessness.”

“You flew above the clouds just now, so high up.

Could you see the Sol Temple of the Holy Sun from there?” Azeryan looked up, squinting at the sun, and turned his head to ask curiously.

“Not quite, but if you don’t believe me, join me and see for yourself later.”

Leon shrugged his shoulders and turned to press down the folded saddle at his lower back, securing the passenger seat firmly.

Of course, Death Claw’s size wasn’t limited to only one rider.

“Everyone gets a turn, one by one, no need to rush.”

Having said that, he looked towards Olivia who was clearly trying hard to contain her eagerness, extended his left hand, and revealed a mischievous smile akin to that of a spirited young man with a gleam like Ghost Fire’s, saying, “~~Beautiful lady, you first.

Let Mr.

Leon take you for a spin~”

The girl was amused by his odd tone and laughed, yet she didn’t refuse, stepping forward promptly and gripping her lover’s hand to mount the griffin’s passenger seat.

After helping Olivia to fasten the straps secured to the belt, Leon turned back with delight and reminded, “Hold on to me tight~”

Feeling the girl’s arms encircle his waist, he pulled on the iron reins and once again steered Death Claw up into the sky…

…That day, the skies above Avalon were filled with the exclamations and laughter of the youths, continuously painting the heavens….

The next afternoon.

Outside Avalon City.

After checking that the Earth Vein Spirit Lamp, pre-filled with the Corpse Ghost soul, was functioning well, Leon flipped the switch, hung it on his belt, carefully made sure his simple luggage was intact and had Kovis mount the griffin’s passenger saddle first.

He turned around, patted Olivia’s shoulder, and reassured, “Don’t worry, with Miss Lora’s help, there won’t be any mishaps on this trip.

You’ve experienced yourself how fast Death Claw flies; once this matter is dealt with, I’ll be back in Avalon in no time.”

“Just be careful with everything, you and Kovis.” Olivia nodded in agreement.

She knew where Leon was headed and didn’t insist on accompanying him.

When Olivia had recently learned from Leon that ‘Miss Lanice,’ who had visited Selva and whom she had enjoyed talking to, was actually the current Princess of Orland, she was shocked.

Having unexpectedly met the daughter of a past blood feud, Olivia was now somewhat frightened, fearing she might have brought trouble upon them all.

Fortunately, Leon comforted her, asserting that as someone also born after the end of the civil war, the Princess probably didn’t understand the past realm’s affairs, let alone consider Olivia’s background as a forgotten orphan.

After lightly kissing the girl’s forehead, Leon turned to mount the main saddle of Death Claw and pulled on the reins.

“Go back, and later, when gathering information on Holy Land City in the Eastern region, I’ll definitely need you by my side as my guard.

Rest up well for now; I’ll make a quick trip there and back.”

With that, Leon called on the griffin to spread its wings and leap into the air.

The great beast carried the two of them, taking a brief running start before flying off towards the southwest…
