When Gauss left the house, he inadvertently overheard the townsfolk chatting about how several knights riding griffons had recently landed in Gray Rock Town.
At first, he thought it was just a rural rumor and didn't believe it.
After all, roadside chatter cannot be trusted; he often heard people bragging about seeing dragons.
It wasn't until he saw those griffons with gleaming armor and saddles in the stable outside the Adventurer's Guild with his own eyes that he realized the idle talk he overheard was actually true.
Griffons, as wild demons, have a challenge rating of level 2 or higher, which doesn't seem very high, but they have flight capabilities and excellent agility. Unless their hatred can be firmly attracted, once they take to the skies, most adventurers can only watch helplessly.
And griffons, meticulously bred and tamed with significant resources by humans, often possess combat power that far surpasses their wild counterparts.
