Chapter 19 - The Little Female Thief and the Griffin Knight

"Yeah!" The frightened little owl rolled a few times on the spire of the tower and fell down the tower.

 

In mid-air, she flapped her wings to stabilize her body, turned her little head behind her, and found that the gryphon was not chasing her, but instead grabbed the spire of the tower with its claws and landed.

 

"I'm scared to death. It turns out you're not here to catch me." The little owl calmed down and turned around to look at the griffon and the knight on its back, feeling vaguely familiar with him.

 

At this time, the Griffin Knight suddenly spoke: "Don't bully those cute little guys, Tidaris! Let's go down. The Grand Master should have got the news."

 

When the griffin heard the knight's words, it opened its snow-white wings and soared into the sky. It joined the group of griffins that came after them and circled to land in the square in front of the mage tower in the center of the castle.

 

Lilith followed them cautiously and landed on a house near the square. She saw the griffins landing neatly on the square. The knight who had spoken before jumped off the back of the griffin and walked towards the waiting room. Several great magicians in front of the mage tower.

 

The leader, the great magician in white robes and long beard, came forward. After both parties saluted each other, the great magician said in a deep and majestic voice: "Commander Antonio, welcome to the Wizard Tower."

 

Antonio lifted the visor of the silver helmet and replied with a smile: "Thank you, respected 'Eye of the Sky' Constantine, the owner of the Mage Tower, I salute you on behalf of the Holy Emperor Valentin II!"

 

"I wonder why His Majesty the Holy Emperor sent the knights to the City of Light this time?" Grand Master Constantine, nicknamed "Eye of the Sky", glanced at the griffin knights standing neatly behind Antonio with his profound eyes, and said in a tone of voice asked calmly.

 

"Have you heard about the theft of the Archangel statue of the sacred artifact kept by the mermaid tribe?" Antonio took a step forward and asked in a low voice.

 

Constantine frowned when he heard this and said: "We have learned the news from the elders of the mermaid clan. We heard that the guardian of the mermaid clan's temple has gone to the Principality of Deiz to track down the whereabouts of the thieves. We still don't know their whereabouts."

 

"I once saw the beautiful guardian angel in the border fishing village. She was with the demon hunter Rogge. They were investigating the whereabouts of the thief, but then we separated."

 

As Antonio said, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he passed by Tully, and Tully's meaningful smile appeared in front of his eyes.

 

"Rogg?" Constantine couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard the name, and frowned: "Is he the demon hunter who has been wanted by the Holy Society for many years? Why is he involved in this matter?"

 

"Isn't it because of being nosy?" Lilith, the little owl standing on the roof, whispered softly, spread her wings and left the square, flying towards the prison.

 

She came to the prison tower, flew into the tower from a lower window, transformed into a little girl in a black feather dress, jumped up the stairs, and came to a wooden door.

 

The little girl put her ear against the door and listened. There was a faint sound of snoring inside. Lilith frowned and muttered: "Listen to this annoying sound, there must be someone with a rosy face, thick lips, and rosacea." , A wretched uncle with a bad breath! "

 

Slandering snorers, the little girl opened the wooden door silently, like an owl flying silently. She still maintained absolute silence in her human form, and crept through the crack in the open door. Inside the door.

 

A magician wearing a gray robe sat on his back on a soft chair in the room. There was a clay pot on the table in front of him. The aroma of wine wafting from it was easily caught by the little owl's sensitive sense of smell.

 

"He is indeed a greedy drunkard!" The little girl closed the door behind her and glanced at the small room. It was clean and tidy, and the walls were surrounded by unpainted pine cabinets.

 

The little Lolita wore red high-heeled dancing shoes and walked toward the magician with brisk steps. Although the hard heels of the dancing shoes collided with the equally hard wooden floor under her feet, they did not make any sound.

 

She came to the magician's side, leaned down and looked around for a while, and found the bunch of keys she needed.

 

"I'm a good girl. Apart from stealing things, playing pranks, grabbing other people's delicious food, and making fun of others until their faces turn red and white with anger, I've never done anything bad!"

 

While the little girl was muttering, she reached out to grab the bunch of keys and tried to pull it off the magician's belt, but the iron ring with the keys was tightly fixed on the belt. Lilith tugged a few times, Couldn't pull it off.

 

When she exerted force for the third time, the magician seemed to feel something abnormal. He groaned twice and straightened up and looked around. The room was empty, not even a ghost.

 

"It looks like I'm dreaming." The magician muttered, took another sip of the wine in the clay pot in front of him, pushed the clay pot away, lay down on the table and started snoring again.

 

Lilith, who turned into a little owl on top of the cabinet, hid in the shadows and looked at him. She pondered for a moment, jumped down from the cabinet, turned into a little loli again and came to his side.

 

"Uncle, be good, sleep well, and be a good boy!" The little girl murmured, opening a pair of beautiful big eyes, and two rays of light shot out of the eyes and fell on the magician.

 

She lifted the magician's body up, untied his belt, took the key ring off his body, then tied the belt back up and helped him lie down on the table again.

 

During the whole process, the magician remained quietly under the light from her eyes, unaware of everything she did.

 

"I got it!" The little girl happily took the key in front of her, turned around and walked towards the other door in the room, opened it and walked towards the prison.

 

Since there are very few prisoners in the prison of the Mage Tower, Lilith did not meet anyone on the way to look for Rogge and others. She hummed a song and walked through the empty cells, and soon came to Rogge's cell. outdoor.

 

The little girl turned into a little owl and flew into the cell. When she saw Rogge still lying on his back sleeping on the bed, she glared at him angrily and threw the keychain at Rogge's face with a flick of her talon.

 

Unexpectedly, just when the key was about to hit Rogge, Rogge suddenly raised his hand to catch the key.

 

"Lilith, I've told you many times not to throw things around! It doesn't matter if you throw the keys around like this and hit me in the face, but what if a key breaks? Even if it doesn't break, After all, this is public property and should be taken care of!"

 

Rogge sat up from the bed in a hesitant manner, glanced at the little bird who was unwilling to mischievously succeed, walked to the door with the key in hand, opened the cell door, walked out of the cell, and found the imprisoned Murphy and Murphy in a nearby cell. Tully and Catherine, get them both out.

 

"Now we are free for the time being, but everything on us has been confiscated. I'm starting to miss my cigars. Come on, guys, we have to get our weapons and equipment back!" Rogge said Hanging the key on his waist, he waved to everyone.

 

"I suggest you don't go out in such a big way!" The little owl stood on his shoulder and frowned.

 

Rogge heard this and glanced back at the little guy on his shoulder. Their eyes met. Rogge seemed to see something in her eyes. He stopped and asked, "Tell me, little witch, where did you go from this full house?" What did the old man with the white beard find in his castle?"

 

"I saw a large group of flying monsters!" Lilith vividly told everyone about her thrilling escape from the claws of the gryphon, and Rogge's brows gradually furrowed.

 

He turned back to Murphy and said: "The griffon is the guardian animal of the empire. The flag and coat of arms of the empire have griffins. If this group of people comes riding on griffins, they have only one identity."

 

"It's the Wings of the Silver Dragon!" Murphy said confidently.

 

"So, the person who spoke is Captain Antonio?" Tully raised her sea-blue eyes and said happily to the two of them: "This is good news. We have met Captain Antonio. Maybe he It can help us resolve misunderstandings with the mages."

 

"I'm not sure that's a good idea!" To Tully's surprise, Rogge objected without hesitation: "In my opinion, there is absolutely no worse suggestion than this!"
