Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 207 Unicorn

Dusk fell quickly, and as darkness approached, the surrounding air became colder.

Thorne glanced at Gilt, the bard who was still busy by the river, and then turned around without saying a word, planning to leave.

When he turned around and did not take two steps, a thin figure standing on the hillside in the wind came into his eyes. He saw her long black hair over shoulders fluttering slightly on both sides, and a pair of light blue eyes staring at him quietly. .

Thorne looked at the calm gaze of the half-elf girl, and noticed the vague smile hidden in the deepest part of her eyes, as if he saw the old look of the two getting along in the town of Falls, so he moved away. Stepping up to him, he asked softly, "Are you here?"

"En." The half-elf girl Lilia nodded slightly and hummed.

"Is there something wrong?" Thorn was silent for a while, and asked again.

"Isn't this the half-elf priest from Fallstown, Miss Lilia? Nice to meet you again." Before the half-elf girl could speak, the bard's bluff floated from the shore.

The bard Gilt straightened his bowler hat, walked gracefully in front of Lilia, held the harp in one hand, stroked his chest with the other, bent over in an exaggerated gentlemanly salute, his waist was too deep, So much so that the egret feathers adorning the brim of the hat are about to touch the ground.

As if noticing the doubtful eyes of the half-elf girl, the bard moved his fingers to the harp in his arms, and the strings played a resonant tone with the joyful jump of his thumb:

"It's so exciting to meet you again. You are still so beautiful, as beautiful as a lyrical poem. You are full of girlish innocence and youthful demeanor. You have fascinated me to this day. What impresses me the most is your pair of light blue eyes that seem to eclipse the entire desert, and your long, flickering eyelashes, like inquiry, like concern, like greeting, like..."

"Okay, these words of yours should be left to the noble widows of Seput City." Thorne glanced at Gilt with some headaches, interrupted his words, and gently pulled him aside.

"Thorn, who is he? Is he a new half-elf in Fallstown?" The half-elf girl Lilia moved to Thorn's side, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and blinked lightly with her light blue eyes. , looking at him with his head tilted, asked a little curiously.

"..." The bard Gilt breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up the jacket that was a bit messed up by Thorne, and immediately came over again, happily introducing himself:
"Beautiful Miss Lilia, please call me Master Gilt, one of the most famous bards from Corina Peninsula, you can inquire about it, the streets and alleys of Seput City know my legend, 38 A tavern and a dozen... In short, all the bards in the city are singing my work."

"Girt?" Lilia murmured to herself suspiciously, as if recalling something, and said with an uncertain tone: "You are that Gilt who is known as the 'fishing master' in the town of Falls, and then fished. Sometimes I was dragged into the water by a small fish..."

"It's a baby dire fish, not a small fish! Besides, I just slipped my foot, which was just a mistake! I've explained it to them many times, Miss Lilia." Gilt coughed dryly, looking serious After correcting her, I plucked the strings again and recalled:

"Do you still remember the scene when we met for the first time in the town of Falls? In the season when the flowers and trees were blooming, I found you at first sight. You are so charming. From afar, I looked at you back..."

"Hey, don't go, wait for me!" While speaking, Gilt suddenly noticed the two figures that were gradually going away, and immediately yelled, chased after them, and said pantingly: "It's going to be dark soon, Where are you going?"

Thorne also looked curiously at the half-elf girl in front of him, a little unclear about what the other party came to look for him.

"Thorn, have you heard of the 'Four Feasts'?" Lilia asked Thorne's puzzled gaze softly.

"How could you not know that this is the most sacred and noble ceremony in the Church of the Forest Goddess." Thorne nodded and said, "Held on the spring and autumn equinoxes, winter and summer solstice respectively, the followers of the Forest Goddess will praise all living things in the ceremony worldly side, and sing aloud the praises of the Goddess."

"There are also planting ceremonies and field races, when groups of unicorns gather and allow devout believers to ride on their bare backs through the woods at high speed." Lilia see Thorne After finishing speaking, he added.

When she mentioned the unicorn, there was a hint of longing in her eyes, although it was fleeting, it was still caught by the keen Thorne.

"Isn't it only at Midsummer Festival and Green Grass Festival that unicorns gather together?" Although Thorne is not an official believer of the Forest Goddess, he still knows a little about their holy days.

"That's right." Lilia didn't deny it, nodded, and expressed her thoughts: "But the High Priest of Lauxian told me where the unicorn herd lives, so I want you to accompany me there, and I still I've never seen what a unicorn looks like."

"No problem, I just haven't seen what this kind of celestial creature looks like." Thorne nodded in agreement.

"A weak question, can I go?" The bard secretly looked at the two of them, and said in a low voice, "I also want to see what they look like."

"Yes." The half-elf girl Lilia glanced at Thorne, with a faint smile on her lips, and agreed casually.

Out of the corner of Thorne's eyes, he caught the glimmer of the depressed girl in front of him finally recovering from the past, he was secretly relieved, and then followed Lilia's footsteps.

……

The deepest part of the Temple of Melikai.

In a glade surrounded by misty oak trees, a half-elf girl brought two people here.

In the mysterious woodland where the unicorn was located, a sense of tranquility permeated the surroundings. Even the bard who had been keeping noisy was affected by this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, and closed his mouth involuntarily.

Here, Thorne saw the gentle wolf passing by, the cheerful birds, squirrels and small insects, and even found the flower spirits, goblins and pike wandering in the forest, playing and laughing like silver bells. Refined.

At this time, a horse-like creature with shiny white fur and fire-gold eyes appeared in front of everyone.

unicorn!
Thorne immediately began to look carefully. Although the unicorn looks like a horse, it is a celestial creature. The body in front of him is about 8 feet long and 5 feet high at the shoulders. It is covered with long, silky hair from the forehead to the back of the horse. It has snow-white horsemane like snow-white, and there is a white beard on the lower jaw, which is a male symbol. The most conspicuous place is a spiral ivory-colored single horn protruding from the forehead, about 3 feet long.

"Half-elf, this is the unicorn sanctuary of the Forest Goddess Temple, don't hang out here, get out of here!" When the three noticed the unicorn, the patrolling unicorn also noticed the three of them, so Immediately warned.

"We don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to come and take a look out of curiosity." Lilia took a step forward, pressed the unicorn holy emblem on her heart, and said softly.

"So it's a follower of the Forest Goddess, you can come in, but the two of them can't, Gui Lun's follower is too murderous, as for that one... I don't want to comment." The unicorn glanced at Lilia, and his expression changed. Slowly, he looked at Thorne and Gilt again, and said.

"Then go in and take a walk, I'll wait for you at the intersection." Thorne was not surprised when he heard this, and said to the half-elf girl beside him.

Unicorns only agree with pure and kind human beings or elf girls to feed and ride themselves. If this kind of unicorn is treated well, it will become a loyal mount and a lifelong guardian. Thorn still knows about these, but He wasn't surprised that he didn't get the unicorn's approval.

"Hey, the golden eyes in front, don't you mean that the good and neutral camps can come in and out freely? I'm from the neutral camp, why can't I go in." The chaotic neutral bard said dissatisfiedly to the unicorn.

"Your heart is full of the stench of money, you are not welcome here, get out!" The unicorn looked at the bard with contempt.

It seems that they noticed the movement here, and many unicorns came out from the depths of the woods, and came to watch and watch the excitement.

"And greed!" Among the unicorns, a unicorn with deep sea blue eyes said, looking at the bard with contempt.

"And arrogance!" the unicorn with violet eyes said with disdain.

"Greedy and lustful!" A beardless female unicorn said, looking coldly at the bard with brown pupils.

"And shameless!" A small female unicorn that seemed to be underage ran to the half-elf girl Lilia, glanced at the bard in disgust, and rubbed the corner of her clothes affectionately.

"...Hey, that little guy, after all, why are you still scolding people? I, Gilt, am the most famous bard in the entire peninsula. Am I that kind of person?"

The bard refuted with a guilty conscience. Feeling the contemptuous gazes of all the unicorns, he quickly walked to the big tree not far away with his harp in his arms, sat down on the ground, and held his chin with one hand, showing a depressed look.

Thorne noticed that the half-elf girl was stroking the little unicorn in front of her, showing a rare smile, shook her head and let out a laugh, then turned and left.

"Wait a minute, disciple of Gwaeron." Suddenly, one of the strongest unicorn leaders among the unicorn herd stopped Thorne.

Thorne was taken aback for a moment, and looked over suspiciously.

"I feel a strong sense of killing from your body. You must have been accompanied by killing all your life, right." The unicorn leader looked at Thorne with fiery red eyes, pondered for a moment, and said slowly.

lifetime?It’s a bit too much talk, and it’s only been a year and a half since it’s all done. Thorne muttered to himself, and said to the unicorn: “That’s right.”

"I hope you can stick to your heart and walk on a path that will never go astray." The unicorn nodded slightly at Thorne with its fiery red eyes, then turned and disappeared into the depths of the bushes.
