The birth method of griffins in this world is very strange. Sometimes griffins are oviparous and sometimes viviparous. When the external environment is not good, griffins will choose to lay eggs and then go out to hunt. However, if the environment is more suitable, they will raise the baby griffins in their bodies until they mature and then give birth. They are very strange creatures.

Since the latter has absorbed enough nutrition in the mother's body, the born griffins are less likely to get sick and will grow stronger. In order to allow the griffins to give birth in the latter way, the griffin breeders should provide them with spacious housing and sufficient food at this time.

In addition, although these ferocious creatures have maternal love, their innate ferocity sometimes suppresses their slightly weak maternal love, and they may even bite their own cubs to death. If the mother griffin is undernourished, it will be dangerous. The reason why the Knights need to control the specific data of the griffin's physical condition is to prevent this from happening.

It was afternoon now, and the stream was gurgling through the woods. There was only the sound of water, but no sound of insects.

"Saintly! Saintly!" Evia called a few more times, but the griffin named Saintly still did not appear.

"There's no other way. Let's go in and find it. If anything happens, just hide behind me." Caesar was not worried at all that the griffin would pose any threat to the two of them. If a small griffin could still act violently in front of a retired hero like him, he would be too useless.

"Wait." Evia stopped Caesar: "Please put my arm guard on your hand."

"No need, it probably can't bite me." Caesar waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

"No, you'd better wear it to avoid being bitten." Evia took off the leather arm guard on her left hand and put it on Caesar's hand: "There is a spell slot in this arm guard, which contains an instant silver magic shield. If it wants to bite you, release it quickly."

Unable to persuade Evia, Caesar could only stretch out his left hand and let Evia put it on him.

This arm guard should be customized by Evia herself. It is a little small when worn on Caesar's hand, but fortunately there is an elastic rope that can be adjusted, so it doesn't affect it.

"I'll go ahead and you follow me." Caesar said. "I'll show you how an experienced adventurer observes the surrounding environment."

"Be gentle with your movements later. If you see Shengke, don't move too much, or you'll scare it." Evia was not too worried about Caesar's safety. Although Caesar looked quite young, it would take some strength to be a teacher at Phoenix University of Magic. The hard requirement was that he had to be at least at the Gold Rank.

The two of them shuttled through the woods.

"Xize, how many years have you been an adventurer?" Evia asked as they walked.

"Well, I was only an adventurer for two or three years." Caesar said, recalling.

"That's amazing." Evia said with a little envy: "I have always been a theoretical magician. Apart from the practical exams when I was a student, I have basically never had any practical experience."

"Actually, being a theoretical wizard is pretty good. When I was an adventurer, I had to sleep in the open air every day. Sometimes I was hungry and had to find food in the wild." Caesar replied. As he spoke, he squatted down and found a few tufts of long hair beside the stream.

The hair is golden on the top, then gradually turns to silver and finally transparent on the bottom. The hair of a griffin is like this, because the outside is golden, the inside is silver and then turns to transparent, so the griffin looks golden in the sun, and the reflection helps the griffins in the sky hide their bodies.

Evia came closer and said, "This is Sheng Ke marking his territory, which means we are not far from it."

There was a green plant growing next to the stone, like a vine, with a small blue fruit growing on the top of the vine. When Caesar stood up, he picked the vine with several fruits growing together and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Xize, why are you picking this snake-eye fruit? It's poisonous." Evia reminded.

"Pick it and eat it." Caesar replied, "I used to eat this when I was an adventurer. It can restore some magic power, and it also has the function of refreshing and improving mental magic resistance."

"Snake eye fruit is poisonous. Eating too much will cause hallucinations. How can we eat it?" Evia was puzzled: "The book says that although it can restore a certain amount of magic power, it is not recommended to eat it. Eating it will cause pain in the mouth and throat."

"I used to eat this when I was an adventurer. A senior taught me how to eat it." Caesar said, pulling out a snake eye fruit with a stem from his pocket: "Here, I'll teach you how to eat it."

Nishize pinched the stem of the snake-eye fruit with his index finger and thumb and then pulled it back hard. The stem did not break, but all the juice inside was squeezed out.

As the white and green juices were squeezed out, the blue color on the fruit also faded. Soon, the blue color on the skin of the snake eye fruit disappeared, and the fruit stem turned blue instead. When the outer skin was peeled off, the white flesh inside was exposed: "The toxins of the snake eye fruit are basically inside the skin. If you peel it directly, it is easy to break the skin, and then the toxins will be inside."

Caesar stuffed the round flesh into his mouth: "Mmm, sweet, do you want one?"

"Look, just do this." He grabbed the fruit stem with his index finger and thumb and pulled it. The blue color on the skin of the snake-eye fruit faded. Caesar handed the processed snake-eye fruit to Evia: "Try it?"

Evia took it carefully. The flesh of the snake-eye fruit in her hand looked crystal clear. After hesitating for a moment, she finally put it into her mouth under Caesar's gaze.

"It's sweet." Evia tasted it, "but it seems a bit spicy if you chew it too much."

"Oh, that's the taste of the fruit core. Just spit out the core." Caesar said, "The hallucinogenic component of the snake-eye fruit comes from the toxin on its skin. If the toxin comes into contact with the core, your mouth and throat will feel sore in the area where it comes into contact."

The half-elf lady covered her mouth with her hands and spit out the black fruit core.

"I just like the spicy taste at the end. If I eat too much, I'll feel a little drunk." Caesar said with a smile. "Do you want more?"

Evia shook her head: "I can't eat spicy food."

"Adventurers are really experienced." Evia sighed: "I only know from books that snake eye fruit is poisonous, but I didn't know that it can be eaten after being processed. What would have happened if I had become an adventurer?"

Caesar picked up the tuft of griffin hair and activated the [Find Object Spell].

The spell of [Hidden Objects] is a prophecy spell. It is worth mentioning that the spell of [Hidden Objects] is not like what those who have not learned magic understand, that is, using Tarot or divination to get the answer out of nothing. The fundamental principle of [Hidden Objects] is to find the traces of things existing in the world and then make inferences. For example, now Caesar uses the tuft of golden hair of the griffin he just got to use [Hidden Objects].

It is essentially asking the beings in the spirit world if they have seen the owner of the tuft of hair, essentially going from one to two.

The prophecy spells such as Tarot and Divination are also very difficult in the prophecy spells. The essence of this kind of spell is to create something from nothing, which requires a very high spirituality of the wizard. From ancient times to the present, many wizards who specialize in prophecy magic have invented many messy folk remedies to improve their spirituality. Caesar has learned about it, for example, the ritual of walking seven steps backwards in the four corners of the bathroom, which sounds unreliable.

It is said that some people used this to communicate with the legendary great beings and obtained the formulas of certain potions, but to be honest, it doesn't sound credible.

A faint white magic power flew out from Caesar's hand. The elves in the spirit world accepted the magic power as a reward and searched for the location of the griffin named Shengke for Caesar.

"Yes, it's over here."

The elf told Caesar the answer, first do this, then go that way, like a child leading the way, talking at once and unable to express his meaning clearly.

When walking in the woods, you can see various magical plants from time to time. They are all precious varieties transplanted back from outside by the school.

The area where the griffins live is a forest on a gentle slope, which is conducive to the take-off of these large winged monsters. Here, they can fly with less running start.

The elves from the spiritual world who were leading the way finally stopped on the side of a gentle slope.

There was a deep cave there, and the elves told Caesar that what he was looking for was inside.

Griffins usually like to live on cliff-like platforms. They will dig a nest with their claws and use the bones left over from their prey to build a nest. If there is no cliff-like terrain, griffins will choose to live in some dry caves.

The entrance to the cave was very deep and appeared pitch black at first glance. There were traces of dragging at the entrance, which was probably caused by Sheng Ke dragging the meat fed by the keepers back to the cave for his enjoyment.

"I guess this is the place. Let me see if I can lure Sheng Ke out." Evia walked forward, took out a few crystal cans from the bag, opened them and placed them at the entrance of the cave. She used magic to create a simple breeze, blowing the smell of fish and meat in the cans into the cave, and hid with Caesar.

The physical data of the griffin, such as length and weight, can be compared by visual inspection, and the latter can be tested by placing a pressure gauge or other device where the meat is placed. However, the more important data is to observe whether the griffin produces milk.

If a griffin chooses to give birth to live young, the mother griffin will produce milk before giving birth. If it chooses to give birth to eggs, it will produce milk when the eggs are incubated. Combined with the griffin's weight and the condition of its belly, we can more accurately infer the mode of delivery chosen by the griffin.

After arranging the cans, Evia took Caesar and ran to a distance and hid, observing the cave entrance from a distance.

The two of them crawled on the ground and waited quietly. Caesar took out a few snake-eye fruits from his pocket and ate them while waiting, collecting the removed fruit stems and cores and putting them in his own pocket.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Caesar finally saw the golden griffin that frightened Evia.

As a female griffin, its stature can be said to be quite tall, with a height of more than 1.5 meters. Excluding the tail, its body length is roughly estimated to be more than four meters. There is only a circle of white hair around its head, and the rest all exudes a golden luster. Its pair of wings are folded on both sides, which can be said to be beautiful and holy, and its belly is slightly bulging.

At this moment, both of them held their breath and observed the griffin in the distance.

Although it had the head of a giant eagle, its movements on the ground were more like those of a cat. It lowered its body and walked out, then carefully walked to the cans and sniffed them.

As long as it is willing to eat, Evia can take out the can and slowly approach it. This creature has the intelligence equivalent to a child of a few years old. Evia met it when it moved in, and it is possible to communicate.

It seemed quite cautious about the food of unknown origin. It circled around it several times but was reluctant to eat it.

Suddenly, it seemed to smell something and stopped sniffing around the can. Instead, it raised its head and sniffed the air in all directions.

As if it smelled something, it slowly approached the two people's location. When it was about sixty meters away, it stopped, opened its mouth and made a sound like breathing towards the bushes where the two were hiding.

"Has~!" The hair on its body stood up and its two wings opened, making it look bigger and more oppressive to the enemy.

Evia knew that the two of them had been exposed, so she stood up from the bushes and showed her hands, indicating that she had no weapons, only cans. Caesar did not move, but just watched.

"Shengke, do you remember me?" Evia called softly, then slowly put the can in her hand on the ground and opened it.

Sheng Ke lowered his body to the ground, looking ready to strike.

"Saintly?"

"Hahi~!!!" The only response from Evia was a louder panting sound.

Evia tried to take a step forward, but every time she took a step forward, Shengke exhaled loudly and took a step back.

After trying this several times, Shengke stopped retreating, but from its posture, its intention to attack became more obvious.

"Ha~!!!!" It exhaled even harder, and a violent magic wave suddenly appeared in its mouth. That was the spell slot that the griffin had, the pure-blooded golden griffin's innate spell [Scorching Sun], which emitted a golden ball of light, a true golden spell. Evia couldn't dodge in time, so she could only open all the instant spell shields on her equipment in front of her.

At the critical moment, Caesar jumped out from the bushes behind him, held Evia in his arms and ran away quickly, avoiding the [Scorching Sun].

A golden ball of light flew past the two of them, then flew onto the ground behind them and exploded.

The range of the spell is not very wide, but the power is quite great. Under the power of [Scorching Sun], a circular pit with a diameter of eight meters appeared on the ground, and the soil inside appeared to be crystallized under the high temperature.

She didn't try to instantly cast the low-level [Light Blade Technique], but started directly with the gold level. This shows how dangerous a pregnant griffin is.

Evia in his arms still had the expression of shielding his face with his arms. It was easier to control and condense magic power around than to launch it. The same level of defensive magic was more than enough to resist one or two same level of offensive magic. But although Evia had just cast several shields, they were all silver level. It was still unknown whether they could block the [Scorching Sun]. It was Caesar who saved him at the critical moment. At this time, Evia still had the expression of surviving a disaster.

The griffin's means of attack were not limited to this. Seeing that Chiyang didn't work, Shengke moved his limbs and pounced towards the two of them, his wings vibrating in the air to increase his speed.

However, the bite of this golden-level monster was still too slow in Xize's eyes. The Dragon of Destruction, which was hundreds of times larger than Saint Ke, could launch dozens of bites or claws during the time it was biting.

Caesar gently pushed Evia to the open space beside him, and waited for the griffin to attack. When the griffin attacked, Caesar dodged sideways, strangled Shengke's neck with his right hand, turned over and landed on its back, clamping his legs tightly around its torso.
