The Melancholy of the Holy Maiden

Accompanied by the long neighing of the horse and the sound of the horse's hooves trampling the ground, a small monkey with sharp teeth was knocked away vigorously.

Then, the sharp-toothed monkey trying to get up was trampled on its neck by a naked foot, and was pressed to the ground, unable to move. With a click, it tilted its neck and lay down limply, without making a sound.

The black-furred horses circled anxiously around the red-haired girl who stood motionless.It has been several minutes since the red-haired girl suddenly stood still and fell into some kind of illusion, and the black beauty and the four-pointed star who followed were not the first wave of monkeys to deal with.

This beautiful little mare looked like she wanted to give her a hug to wake her up, but she didn't dare. She planed with her two front hooves on the ground, forcibly digging out two small holes.

"Don't worry, you...our master will be fine."

While slapping away another fangtoothed monkey, Sijiaxing racked his brains to appease his little friend.

This time, however, the black filly ignored him and snorted restlessly.

If it can talk, it must scream and ask, "Master, how are you, are you okay? Wake up quickly, why haven't you woke up yet? Is this illusion so powerful?" or something like that.

It didn't take long for the beast and the horse to be anxious, the red-haired girl who was standing still opened her eyelids, and the tired look flashed past.

She looked to her side, with a surprised expression on her face: "Black Beauty?"

Bedwell patted the horse's head, and waved to the four-pointed star standing nearby, and the fit horse came rattling over.

Realizing that Bedwell was about to wake up, the orc quickly changed back to its animal form.

"Huh? Where's your bridle and saddle?"

The four-pointed star paused, staring straight at the lady knight who had expressed such doubts, dripping with cold sweat.

——Yao, Yaoyao!Beast!

How should I fool around and pretend that I am just an ordinary beast at a time like this, help me!

※※※

The giant wolf Fenrir lay lazily in front of the tree, his huge body once again blocked most of the entrance to the tree hole.

It hooked the slime off its head with one paw, and slapped it into the ground like a rubber ball. The slime writhed and writhed under its paws.

"Tsk tsk, Urik is so serious. I don't think the little unicorn can be saved even if Cecil comes here!"

The giant wolf took a sip of the non-existent saliva: "What a waste, why don't you let me swallow it."

"Fin—Lille—"

Garuda, a vulture-like fantasy species, jumped up and down the tree. She flapped her wings, and her voice was shrill and taunting, "You're big—you can try it!"

"If you can't swallow Urik—just swallow his kind! The taste of starlight unicorns—it's no worse than holy unicorns!"

"Shut up Garuda, you are too loud!"

The giant wolf shook his ears, a little angry, and lowered his voice to threaten: "If you keep making such noise, you will be the next one I swallow. Don't think that I am as afraid of you as those dragons."

Yaya bah, it was just talking casually, but this bald bird spoke so loudly, it was afraid that it would not be heard by Urick who entered the tree hole, it didn't want to be kicked by Urick again!

The vulture-like phantom known as Garuda has long been accustomed to Fenrir's threats, it tilted its head, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Wow—oh!"

The silver-gray giant wolf also let out an "oh--".

It looked with interest at the human girl who was walking by with two horses.The girl standing far away by the lake followed the vision of the two phantoms whose bodies had shrunk.

It was a firm look without any confusion.

"This place should be forbidden to enter recently, did Urik let her in?"

"Hee hee hee! He must be a knight who is looking for a mount! That girl is looking for you! Hurry up and go with her - Fenrir!"

"Shut up you bloody bald bird!"

Fenrir's wolf tail slapped the ground violently, and Garuda on the treetop flapped its wings and flew to a higher treetop.

"Bald-headed bird—!" Garuda screamed, "You dare to say that I am a bald-headed bird! You know nothing but eat—stinky wolf!"

The vultures were jumping around on the treetops. Fortunately, this tree was also very huge, and it could fully bear its two-meter-long body even if it was shrunk.

The fluttering leaves were trampled down by Garuda and floated onto Fenrir, who was always lying there lazily.

The giant wolf's nose was itchy from the leaves, and it sneezed. The bouncing slime in front of it was blown somersault by it, and rolled into the lake.

Fenrir was annoyed, turned his head and quarreled loudly with Garuda.

Standing by the lake a little distance away from the island in the lake, the lady knight who was originally full of vigilance was now filled with an emotion called speechlessness.

The voices of the two phantoms on the island in the lake did not restrain themselves at all, not to mention that Bedwell's hearing was good, and she could hear all the disputes between the two guys clearly standing here.

Urik should have landed on that island, but the current situation made her hesitate to find a way to get on the island.Those two fantasy species, shouldn't they be arguing and fighting?She doesn't want to be affected inexplicably.

After reuniting with her own horses, she walked along the way, except for those sharp-toothed monkeys who were hostile to her and always tried to attack her, she did not meet any creatures. This made Bedwell have some doubts and wanted to go Find Urik and ask about it.

Urik, who is her teacher's mount, must not say nothing now that she has come here.

Immediately afterwards, the spear in Bedwell's hand stabbed suddenly, nailing into a pool of transparent creatures that were trying to cling to her boots.

"grumble--"

The lump of jelly that was spread out but pinned twisted back and forth aggrieved.

"This is... a slime?" Miss Knight was a little surprised.

Before setting off, she was summoned by her teacher, the great sage Cecilia, and learned from the other party that there were several special fantasy species in the Holy Knight Mountain, especially the giant wolf Fenrir and the vulture. Bird Garuda, just, a slime?

She thought for a moment and pulled out Kara de Poga.

The ball of transparent jelly struggled to shrink together, and quickly returned to its original shape.

Then, it bounced and tried to get close to Bedwell again, its big watery eyes were so cute.

So it was nailed to the ground again.

"jijiji-"

Draw the long-gun.

"Puff, puff!"

Nailed again.

The four-pointed star standing next to Miss Knight flicked its tail. The miserable state of this slime really made him feel sorry for him.However, he managed to fool the past, and naturally he would not open his mouth to explain the purpose of this poor slime who could not speak.

As for the black beauty, although she is very smart, she is just an ordinary horse, not an intelligent race.If Bedwyer couldn't understand what the slime said, it couldn't understand it even more, and even if it understood it, it couldn't explain it.

Fortunately, this back and forth did not last long.

This time, the slime didn't dare to get close to Bedwell any more in a timid manner, but branched out a small strand, approaching Bedwell slowly and cautiously.

Bedwell didn't hide, it finally wrapped around Miss Knight's ankle as she wished.Then the slime jumped and moved towards the lake in a gesture of dragging Miss Knight's ankle.

The red-haired girl thought for a while, and followed it—otherwise, this guy would definitely not be able to move, but would just jump around in place.The two horses behind them looked at each other and followed.

The slime jumped onto the lake and turned around: "Puff puff puff!"

Staring at the little jelly that seemed to be bouncing on a huge jelly bed without sinking into it, Miss Knight hesitated: "...Do you want me to go up?"

"Pu Chi Chi Pu!" Slime burst into tears.This human finally understood what it meant!

In this way, Bedivere, led by Slime, stepped on the soft lake water—she could no longer be sure that it was lake water—up to the island in the lake.

"Ha-huh!" The transparent jelly opened its mouth, and all the substances from its body on the lake surface were absorbed, but its appearance remained unchanged.

The slime jumped to Bedwell's feet, and wanted to rub it affectionately, but when he saw Bedwell's gaze, he shrank back, and jumped on the black beauty as the next best thing.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff." It spit out transparent marbles one after another, and smashed them into the opened mouth of the giant wolf Fenrir.

The giant wolf was stuck in the throat, and swallowed the slime pinball with a thud.Suddenly, Fenrir showed an indescribably ferocious expression: "Bah, bah, bah, bah! What are you doing, slime!"

"Huh? This little girl...you actually let this little girl of God's favor come to the island in the lake?"

"...Hello senior, this is the knight Bedwell who came to look for a mount partner."

"Looking for a mount partner?" The giant wolf with silver-gray fur stared. It looked very majestic and handsome, and there was a sense of oppression when it said this sentence.

It asked: "Isn't your mount already by your side?"

Bedwell frowned imperceptibly.This is the second time she has heard this sentence.

However, whether it is the black beauty or the four-pointed star, they are just ordinary beasts with a little intelligence. They are not good enough for ordinary cavalry, but they are not enough for knights.

"Let her in, Fenrir."

Without letting the two phantom species on one tree and one under the tree say anything, the voice of the unicorn came from the tree hole.

"Tsk." Fenrir stood up and moved away from the tree hole, "Go in."

"Thank you." Putting Calade Poga away, Bedwell thanked her and strode inside.

The two horses behind her followed suit, and the black beauty walked in with the slime on her head, but the four-pointed star was stopped by Fenrir's paw.

Urik's faint voice came into Bedwell's ears along with the subtle but almost inaudible breathing and groans.

"You're still here."

"Yes. I'm very sorry, but I'm still here. I don't understand why you want me to leave."

Bedwell looked at Urick and the other creature lying in front of him, her gaze slightly fixed.

"The reason is right in front of you." Urik said, "this child—this child as a star unicorn was originally going to be your mount partner. However, you are destined not to get him. Cecil found out through divination over that."

"...Is it hopeless?" Miss Knight hesitated.

"Yes, I am powerless. See those blacks? Its forest is being destroyed, and when the forest is completely gone, it will be completely infested. But its horns have been broken, and the forest is destroyed, and it will also be Total perish."

A ball of light continuously fell from Urik's unicorn and merged with the dying unicorn on the ground, but the black fur spreading from its heart could not be suppressed at all: "Since you have already come, come and give it one last life." let's go."

The young unicorn barely opened its eyes, looking at Bedwell with friendly eyes.It opened its mouth, as if it wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Bedwell couldn't help squatting down, and caressed its body with her fingers.

The warm body undulates weakly but tenaciously.Stained with blood and mud, even the fur is tangled together, far from the original appearance of the clean-loving unicorn.

It shuddered.

He couldn't tell whether it was because of the grief of not being able to stand up and follow Bedwell's departure, or because of the shame of letting the other party see him in such a mess during this last time.

"Hey..." The black beauty lowered her ears, looking quite depressed.

"It has a gift it wants to give to your partner, let it pass, Bedwell." Ulric reminded.

So, Miss Knight turned her body sideways, so that the black beauty was under the sight of the two unicorns. At this moment, the dying unicorn suddenly raised its head and bit her hand!

The Starlight Unicorn's mouth was extremely ruthless, and blood immediately flowed down her palm.

Bedwell was in pain, and at that moment, she almost subconsciously realized that Calade Poga pierced the opponent's body - she had not been injured for many years - and this was said to be the little unicorn that was supposed to be her riding partner , she is not very familiar with the other party except for the initial accident of being close to her.

"Bah!" The black beauty was extremely nervous, and seemed to want to go up to Bedwell and lick Bedwell's wound to stop the bleeding, but it was afraid to act rashly due to the eyes of the two unicorns.It could only wag its tail and kick its hooves anxiously.

The slime swayed back and forth with its movements, stretching out a few tentacles to try to appease it.

In the nearly stagnant air, the dying little unicorn let out a long, sharp and mournful cry.

Outside the tree hole, two phantoms and an orc fell into an eerie silence.

Amidst the long beeps, Garuda's scream was so sharp that it broke.

"Die Joey-Die Joey! Another unicorn--Die Joey!"

This time, the giant wolf Fenrir did not dislike her for making noise.

The author has something to say: □□: Black beauty, super evolved form!

Starlight Unicorn: mmp, I'm going to die, are you still so happy?
