The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

Bedwell didn't speak, but silently raised her long-spear, Caladepoga.

The holy unicorn looked at her with tender eyes.If the emerald eyes of the great sage are still on his face, it must be this kind of eyes.

After a long while of confrontation, the unicorn said: "You go. Bedwell, get out of here."

"I can't just leave here." Miss Knight looked straight into the eyes of the unicorn, her back straightened, "I need a mount partner, I am a knight."

She didn't ask why the mount partner who belonged to the teacher stopped her here.Bedwell only knew that she hadn't encountered even a creature that could be used as a mount so far, and she had to try to find a mount partner. This was her last chance.

If she met and was rejected, Bedwell would definitely turn around and leave, but she hasn't even had the chance to try, so how could she be driven back by a single sentence from Urick?

Urik and the great sage are partners, so he naturally understands Bedwell's character. If he leaves because of his few words, then it's not Bedwell.In his bones, this child is very stubborn—just like every qualified Cedric.

The unicorn looked at Bedwell, and the red-haired girl didn't back down at all. In the end, this beautiful beast was the first to lose.

He let out a sigh: "Why don't you look back? Your partner is beside you. Go back, there is no suitable mount for you here."

After speaking, he stopped blocking Bedwell's way forward and turned around to leave.

The red-haired knight girl stood there for a long time, she pursed her lips, watching the beautiful creature leave from her field of vision.After just a few steps, he disappeared behind the trees along the stream.

Bedwell touched the body of Karadepoga's gun with her fingers, and the weapon blessed by the gods sounded silently.She exhaled, holding the spear in her hand, and continued walking along the stream.

Is it because the unicorn came?That's why it's so quiet all around?

There was only the slight click of footsteps on the leaves, and there was not a single bird on the treetops, let alone any birdsong.There were no birds chirping or insect chirping, not even the chirping of phantasmagoria species, and the entire Holy Knight Mountain was eerily quiet.

This is not normal.

Perhaps, the previous Yurik wanted to remind her of something.Bedwell's eyes darkened slightly.Some kind of intuition as a knight made her unconsciously vigilant.

Judging from the current situation, maybe there are some unapproved intruders that deserve attention?

Those that can make unicorns vigilant, and those that can make phantasmal species as enemies, except for the demons.

However, this place is near Lapuyard, the imperial capital of Eterna. The holy mountain of knights is not a border, not to mention that there are unicorns sitting in the town. What demons dare to go deep here?

Without thinking too much, the red-haired girl began to follow the trail of the unicorn.

The four hooves of the phantom species didn't directly touch the ground, and they didn't trample on any grass or flower. It was quite difficult to track, but fortunately, it didn't trouble Bedwell—thanks to Your Excellency the Great Sage. Teach so that she also knows something about things other than fighting.

And at a distance from Bedwell, the four-pointed star and the black beauty are confronting each other.

Or to be precise, the four-pointed star stood in front of the black beauty, preventing the beautiful filly from getting too close to its owner.

The orc youth's long horse ears were so tangled that they were almost tied into a knot. He waved his hands vigorously: "Listen to me, listen to me, don't worry. Your master——"

The black beauty flicked her tail anxiously and shook her head.

"Well, it's our master." The four-pointed star changed his words immediately, "I mean, our master will never be happy to see us appearing in front of her immediately after she said 'wait for me here'. I think The masters of the human race prefer obedient mounts, don't they?"

The horse's characteristic large eyes looked straight at him.

"You don't want your master to bring back another horse suddenly, do you? But if we go up and prevent her from meeting new partners, we will definitely be hated."

In order to prevent his little friend from rushing into the arms of Miss Knight, the poor orc had no choice but to search for the human knowledge he learned when he forgot his orc status and wandered around in human society, so as to find a suitable reason for the black beauty Don't rush forward so hastily.

There is something creepy about this place, this mountain that is said to be inhabited by unicorns.

Presumably the black beauty was also so agitated because of something she felt.

"Listen, I know you're not feeling well."

The four-pointed star straightened the black beauty's horse's head, and stared at it seriously - if this guy is not an orc, and there are no outsiders here, someone will definitely think that this guy has something wrong with his mind.

"However, we should be more calm, shouldn't we? Think about it, when your master is injured and in distress, we will show up to save people from the fire and water—hey! Then your master will definitely be reluctant to send you out."

The black beauty seemed to be persuaded by his words, and slowly calmed down.Sijiaxing wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead: "That's it, my good horse. Now let's think about how to hide ourselves and follow the past."

"how is the situation?"

The unicorn didn't stop walking, it stepped directly on the water surface, and walked to the small island in the middle of the lake.

On this small island, there are several highly intelligent fantasy species.

On the treetops of the trees in the middle of the lake, a two-meter-long phantasmagoria like a vulture bird shook its head, and her voice was very sharp: "It can't be done——I think it's going to die!"

"Let me eat it now."

Lying beside the tree, the giant wolf-like Phantasm with long silver-gray fur opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth.

A jelly-like blue slime jumped up and down on top of the giant wolf's head, making a popping sound.

"No, if you eat him, you will also be infected. And Garuda, I think you can keep your voice down."

The unicorn did not feel any resistance to the words of the giant wolf and the vulture, but reminded the other party almost coldly - he was already familiar with the personalities of these two guys, and the so-called gentleness would not work with them Yes, it would be better to say that these two guys are willing to restrain their hostility and live in his forest and under his jurisdiction is the most inconceivable.

Ignoring the expressions of the giant wolf and the vulture, he went straight to the giant wolf and kicked it: "Get out of the way, Fenrir, you are blocking him."

The giant wolf Fenrir was obedient and led the slime to stand up, revealing the huge tree hole behind him.Giant wolves can't get in, but unicorns have no problem getting in.

From the depths of the tree hole, there was a slight and rapid breathing sound.

Yurik walked in.

His arrival seemed to bring a ray of light into the dark tree hole.Faint light bloomed from the long spiral horns, and a ray of healing power fell from his horns and merged into the body of the creature lying on the ground.

"Are you okay?" The unicorn's voice sounded a little sad.

The creature's tail flicked feebly.After Urik's treatment, its breathing became stronger, but it was still trembling, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any time.

Urik's treatment has long since had little effect on it, and it can only relieve some of its pain better than nothing.

On the ground was a wounded horse—no, not a horse, but another unicorn that had lost its long horn.

On its forehead, there is only a half-broken spiral horn, and the fracture is uneven, as if it was forcibly broken off by someone—it can no longer be called a unicorn.

There was a pool of blood on its chest and abdomen, and the source of the blood stain had healed without any trace of injury.

If only this is the case, it can survive as an ordinary horse without special power after the horn is healed.

However, in addition to these bloodstains, there are large mottled black marks, like some kind of parasitic vines clinging to a big tree, infecting a large part of its body.

Its also lake-blue eyes have been dimmed, and neither the body nor the broken horn has any light that represents the life of a unicorn.

— it was dying.
