Chapter 63

There was still no movement around, but from the deepest part of the earth came a faint sound.

The baby Griffin, with its four tiny claws, stumbled and wobbled out the door.

It followed the sound to the top of the stairs.

The stairs were far too high and too big for a cub of its size.

It stretched out its claws, trying to reach down.

After probing for a long time, stretching its claws downwards with all its might, it still couldn't step onto the next step.

The baby Griffin flapped its fleshy wings.

It was still young, with only a few soft downy feathers sparsely growing on its fleshy wings, and it was not capable of flying at all.

The little Griffin panicked and yelled at the top of its lungs, "Meow!!!"

The Companion Beast and the little Demon Wolf were staring intently at the Pixie underground, ignoring even the faint sounds of the little Griffin.

The baby Griffin cried out for a while, then finally closed its eyes and stretched its claws downwards with all its might.

It still failed to reach the next step.

However, having lost its balance, it tumbled down.

Because of her chubby cheeks, she looked like a little ball.

It rolled and tumbled, from the top step directly to the bottom platform.

"Awooo." The little Griffin stood up and turned to look at the steps behind it.

It was disoriented from the fall, but it didn't hurt.

It stood there for a moment, thought for a moment, then resolutely swung its tail and stepped onto the next flight of stairs without hesitation.

Unsurprisingly, it couldn't get onto the step and could only tumble down again.

It rolled onto the platform, immediately stood up, used the "rolling down the stairs" technique, and continued rolling down.

The baby Griffin rolled straight from the top floor of the castle to the bottom floor.

By the time the Companion Beast and the little Demon Wolf heard the commotion, it was too late.

A tiny ball of flesh rolled right under their paws.

The little Griffin stood up, shook its head, and was momentarily stunned to see them all standing there. Then, it let out an angry roar, "Roar!"

The Griffin's roar sounded childish, yet it was full of majesty.

The Pixie carrying the wine were startled. "Hey!"

Several Pixie let go of their little hands, and the wine jar they were carrying crashed to the ground.

A crisp "snap" sound drew the attention of the furry creatures once again.

They all turned their heads and looked at the Pixie.

The Pixie were startled by the commotion. Looking up, they saw a group of beasts crowding at the top of the stairs, staring at them menacingly.

They were even more frightened.

Some of the Pixie couldn't stand it and with a "poof," they vanished into thin air, escaping from another dimension.

Then the other Pixie also hurriedly disappeared into thin air with a "poof, poof," and ran away.

The baby Griffin had never seen anything like this before, and its eyes widened in fright.

It stood there stunned for a moment, then, incredibly bold, it waded forward with its little paws, trying to explore the place where the Pixie had disappeared.

The Companion Beast and the little Demon Wolf hurriedly followed behind it.

Harper was about to grab the Griffin the scruff of its neck and bring it back.

Habu suddenly chirped, "Chirp!"

The other furry creatures all looked towards Habu.

Habu lowered his head and tasted the overflowing wine, his eyes lighting up. "Chirp!"

Many furry creatures immediately lowered their heads to taste it, their eyes shining as they did so: "Chirp!" "Awoo!"

The little guys immediately forgot about the baby Griffin and started drinking the wine.

Even the little Griffin lowered its head, licked the ground with its tiny tongue, and then its eyes lit up. "Meow!"

Chapter 63 [VIP]

Harper?

"Moli?"

"A little Griffin?"

In the evening, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei entered the room one after the other.

It was completely empty inside.

Not only were there no trace of the little creatures, but even their scent had almost completely dissipated.

It seems they've been gone for some time.

Xie Juanhan peeked into the corridor.

The corridor was also quiet.

Their calls went unanswered.

"Strange." Xie Juanhan, holding his prey, said, "They're not here?"

Eermirisi's voice came from the top floor of the castle. "They're still inside the castle; they haven't left."

It is now dusk.

Eermirisi can move now.

He slowly walked down from the roof and came over to meet Xie Juanhan and the others.

Telingewei sensed for a moment. "They're underground."

Since the little ones are still in the castle, there's no need to rush.

Telingewei took the prey outside and cleaned it.

Xie Juanhan marinated the prey with wine, spice powder, fish soy sauce, minced garlic, and other seasonings to make it easier to roast later.

Immediately afterwards, the two dragons went to take a bath.

By this time, the little ones still hadn't appeared.

They either went crazy or got into trouble.

Telingewei said the Companion Beast's breathing was exceptionally steady.

That means there was a minor mishap.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were going down into the castle's cellar to find the little ones.

Eermirisi offered to lead the way for them.

"I've cleaned the castle thoroughly, and all the dangerous magic has been removed. There shouldn't be any problems..."

Eermirisi's buzzing sound echoed down the stairs.

Xie Juanhan was listening to Eermirisi when he suddenly smelled a strong aroma of alcohol in the air.

He sniffed and exchanged a glance with Telingewei.

Clearly, Telingewei had also smelled it.

Eermirisi kept walking, because of her exceptional height, she could see the situation below even from one floor away.

The first thing that caught his eye was a fluffy tail.

Its tail was particularly leisurely, swaying and patting the ground.

Look up along the tail.

The owner of the tail lay on his back on the ground, exposing his soft belly.

Eermirisi quickened her pace, descending the steps in a few quick steps to take in the scene of the cellar.

There were piles of furry creatures of all sizes lying in the cellar.

Among them, a wine jar was smashed to pieces.

However, the wine did not spill out.

The ground was clean, except for a few tongue marks.

--The wine has been licked clean.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei walked around from behind Eermirisi and stood on the stairs looking at the little guys on the ground.

Haxi spotted the two dragons immediately and, somewhat flustered, tried to stand up.

The other Companion Beast also noticed them and tried to stand up as well.

Unfortunately, after drinking too much, the Companion Beast's claws went weak, and they couldn't stand up after several attempts.

"Chirp chirp." The Companion Beast lay on the ground in various positions, chirping softly, their voices filled with trepidation.

Telingewei looked at them. "Didn't you knock over the wine jars?"

"Chirp chirp."

"Pixie?"

Telingewei showed no expression, Eermirisi, thinking he was angry, quickly interceded for the little ones. "I remember now, every autumn Pixie come to exchange wine, it must have been the Pixie who broke it while exchanging wine."

Harper shifted his body, moving closer to the shelf, and then laboriously used his paws to pull out an object, kicking it like a ball towards Xie Juanhan and the others.

"Gurgle gurgle--"

A large, smooth, fresh nut rolled to the top of the stairs right before their eyes.

"Chirp." Harper looked at the nuts, then at the wine jar, indicating that these were the nuts the Pixie had brought.

Eermirisi: "Before the Tammi Kingdom was destroyed, they would offer Pixie every year."

"Later, humans left this land, and no one worshipped the Pixie anymore. Every year, they would come to me to exchange their offerings for wine."

"I should have picked out some good wine for them, but I got busy and forgot."

Xie Juanhan noticed, "Are the wines from the Tammi Kingdom quite famous? The wines we've been drinking these past few days all seem to have a similar taste, and they're all sweet and light in flavor."

Eermirisi asked excitedly, "You can taste it?"

Xie Juanhan nodded. "Several kinds of fruit wines have the same base flavor."

Eermirisi said, "Because these wines are all brewed using the same selected yeast, the resulting wines can all be called Tammi Golden Mead."

Xie Juanhan recalled the colors and flavors of the wines he had drunk over the past two days and felt that the name was quite fitting, "It sounds really good."

He's somewhat interested in the yeast for this wine.

Most brewed wines will have a slightly bitter taste.

These Tammi Golden Mead have only a fruity aroma, are purely sweet without any bitterness, and taste somewhat like a special kind of alcoholic beverage.

It tastes very good as a table wine.

Xie Juanhan turned and glanced at Telingewei.

Telingewei nodded slightly and said to Eermirisi, "Do you have yeast for Tammi Golden Mead? We'd like to trade some with you?"

Eermirisi: "What are you going to exchange? I'll just send them to you directly."

Eermirisi pointed to the wine jars piled on the shelves in the cellar. "All the old jars contain yeast. Take a few jars with you when you go back, and you can make Golden Mead directly from them."

Xie Juanhan: "That simple?"

Eermirisi: "It's mainly yeast, there's no special process. I make all the wine now, and I just add some crushed berries each year."

Xie Juanhan was a little embarrassed. "When we brew our Golden Mead, please have a taste too."
