Game of the World Tree

After a few steps, Eve could clearly hear the players talking.

"Amazing! How did you catch it, Sarandil?"

The loud voice was Demacia, and his words were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"How many times have I said it, I didn't catch it, but I brought it back when I saw it was injured."

The original elf Sarandil's tone was a little helpless, his voice was mellow and gentle, and it was very pleasant.

"Do you need to tie it with a rope when you bring it back?"

Li Mu's voice was a little speechless.

"There's no way... it's too uncooperative, I haven't learned healing magic yet, so I can only bring it back forcibly to find someone to treat it, and... haven't I released it?"

Sarandil spread his hands.

"But then again, it's really handsome and beautiful! It's worthy of being a holy beast in Western Fantasy!"

"If you can take it as a mount, it will take dozens of streets to throw away the crypt spider, right?"

Demacia's voice was excited.

mount?

Eve's heart moved.

She took a few steps forward, came behind several players, and finally saw what they were watching.

It was a snow-white animal, like a slender white horse, with a spiral-shaped horn on the top of its head.

It knelt down on the corner of the wall, watching vigilantly at the players surrounding it, and there was an obvious demonic beast claw mark on its hind legs, the injury was very serious, and it was still dripping with red blood...

Is this... a unicorn?

Eve was slightly taken aback.

The unicorn is a kind of magical beast unique to the Elf Forest. When it is an adult, it has the strength of black iron to silver, and if it signs a contract with other wisdom, it can even grow further.

They are all snow-white, and their appearance is a white horse with long spiral pointed horns, but their manes and tails are much longer than ordinary horses, and they look very noble and beautiful.

Unicorns are arrogant and stubborn, and like to live in forest areas with high concentration of magic power. They run fast and are monsters with dual attributes of wind and nature. The sharp horns on their heads can also release healing and detoxification magic.

It's just... the magic of unicorns can't work on themselves, and they often use their own magic to help their companions in need.

This beautiful creature was mentioned in the inheritance of the World Tree obtained by Eve.

During the period of silver civilization, many elves would cultivate their own unicorns and call each other their partners.

However, with the thousand-year battle of gods, the world tree fell, the elves declined, and the unicorns also encountered the same treatment as the elves...

With their beautiful appearance and unique healing magic, they are also regarded as good pets by other races. And even if they can't be used as magic pets, their sharp horns are also the best magic materials and are sought after by many races.

Especially humans.

With the support of humans, the orcs also began to hunt and sell unicorns to the human world.

However, unicorns are arrogant and stubborn, and only those who actively recognize them will get their following.

They are cautious and vigilant and are very sensitive to the emotions of other creatures. If the unicorn resists at the beginning of meeting, it will be difficult to become companions with them.

Because of the stubborn and vigilant character of unicorns, the human society even gradually spread the saying that unicorns only like pure and innocent virgins, and only beautiful and kind girls will capture their hearts...

Of course, these are all rumors.

However, it is true that unicorns are difficult to conquer.

Except for the great druids who are powerful and generally friendly with monsters, other intelligent creatures can only rely on luck to become friends with them.

And if it is forcibly caught, the unicorn will not accept tame and enslavement, and finally choose to go on a hunger strike and die.

Recalling the inheritance of the World Tree, Eve looked at the unicorn surrounded by players.

This is a unicorn with a small size, it seems to be underage, and its strength is medium black iron.

Because of the injuries on his body, it is estimated that even a high-ranking black iron player can easily subdue it.

Looking at the unicorn, though, Eve thought more.

Unicorns are social creatures.

When players encounter one, it means that there must be an entire ethnic group behind it.

After the decline of the elves, the magic level in the core area of ​​the forest of elves gradually decreased, and the unicorns gradually disappeared in the forest.

Rumor has it that they migrated to areas further north of the Elven Forest...

Now it seems that with the increase in the magic level of the core area of ​​the Elf Forest, they are likely to migrate back from the north.

Eve can understand why the player is so excited.

No matter from which point of view, such beautiful creatures are indeed the best choice for mounts, and their compatibility with elves is not known to be higher than that of crypt spiders.

However, it is not easy to get their approval.

Unicorns eat soft and not hard, and they rely on their eyesight. With the violence of the players, I am afraid it is difficult to subdue them.

However, the unicorn is also a kind of creature that attaches great importance to repayment, and if you help it, you can easily gain its friendship.

"I'll talk about other things later, I'll treat it first."

Looking at the injury on the unicorn's hind leg, Li Mu pondered.

However, as soon as he took a step forward, the unicorn struggled, whispering while panting, twisting its body to reveal its sharp horns, making a defensive gesture, and did not allow Li Mu to take a step, let alone treat it. .

"No... I feel that its temper is so violent... I don't let anyone approach it..."

"Come on, let's hold it down together! Let's force it to heal the wound first."

Demacia suggested.

For a time, several players stepped forward and held it down, trying to force it to heal.

The injured unicorn was no match for the players at all. The players quickly controlled it, and it could only writhe and groan while struggling.

"Hurry up! Brother Mu, treat it!"

Li Mu nodded and chanted a spell to cast a ring of magic [Healing Injury].

The pale green energy gathered in his hands, and poured into the unicorn's wound with his command, but... To everyone's surprise, the unicorn's injury did not weaken.

"what happened?"

Li Mu was slightly stunned.

"I'll try."

said another druid player.

After he finished speaking, he also chanted a spell.

It's just... that his healing spells didn't work at all.

"This...why can't it be treated?"

The players were very surprised.

"Of course you can't treat it like this."

Just as the players were stunned, a sigh came from behind them.

Several people turned their heads and found that it was Alice, the Holy Mother of Nature who was speaking.

She was wearing a noble natural priest's long dress, and she came behind the players at some point.

After seeing who was coming, the players quickly put on enthusiastic smiles, and saluted respectfully subconsciously:

"Lord Alice, good afternoon!"

As a rare purple NPC in the entire server, Alice has already established her prestige among players.

Everyone wants to have a good relationship with Miss Saintess, lick her favorability, and then ask for a few rare private tasks, so her attitude is quite respectful.

And Eve, who was watching with a vest beside the player, also saluted the elf girl like the crowd.

"The Chosen One, hello."

Alice nodded to the players.

Then, she looked at the unicorn with a trace of nostalgia in her eyes:

"I didn't expect that after so many years, there is still a chance to see unicorns again. Could it be that... as natural darlings, they also sense the return of the mother goddess?"

After speaking, she ordered the player again:

"Let go of it first. Unicorns have special physiques. If they don't want to, your healing magic won't work on their bodies."

"Fuck! Demon-free physique?!"

Demacia slurred subconsciously.

Alice ignored him, but faced the other players and said:

"Therefore, you can't use force, but you have to communicate with it first."

With the NPC's order, players quickly let go of their control of the unicorn.

Seeing the players' actions, Alice looked at Li Mu again:

"If I remember correctly, you should have [Natural Whisper]. You can communicate with it with this spell."

Li Mu was stunned, and then patted his head:

"Yeah, why did I forget about this."

After spending the contribution points to exchange for several powerful Druid skills during this time, he is about to forget the "weak chicken" skills presented by this goddess!

Thinking of this, Li Mu quickly cast [Natural Whisper] and said to the unicorn:

"Don't be afraid, we will not hurt you, but will treat your injuries."

Hearing Li Mu's words, the unicorn raised its head slightly.

It seems to have calmed down a lot, but it still looks at the players with caution and vigilance.

"effective!"

Li Mu was overjoyed.

However, when he was going to go forward for treatment, the unicorn backed up again, showing resistance again.

Li Mu:  …

"This...not yet, it's too sensitive."

Seeing the unicorn's reaction, Alice was not surprised:

"This is normal. The unicorn is cautious and vigilant. You have taken relatively strong actions before, which has made it wary of you."

"Then... what should I do now?"

Alice sighed and said:

"Now, it won't trust you, and it won't even come close to you. You are too close to it. Back off, I'll treat it."

After listening to her words, the players had to take a few steps back and make way for Alice.

While Alice walked towards the unicorn, she added:

"With the crypt spider in front, I can probably guess what kind of mentality you have when looking at unicorns."

"I can only remind here that the unicorn is the traditional partner of the elves, symbolizing nobility, beauty and purity..."

"The elf race is naturally easier to get the unicorn's favor than other races, but... if you look at it with the idea of ​​slavery from the beginning, then you will never get its approval."

"There are only real druids who can gain the favor and approval of unicorns as soon as they meet, and people who are friendly, sincere, pure-minded, and love nature. There are not many traditional elves, let alone people like this. Speaking of you who are the chosen ones."

After speaking, Alice came to the unicorn, squatted down and began to perform healing magic on it.

However, as soon as the elf girl squatted down, the unicorn struggled to stand up. It didn't even accept her treatment, and limped away directly in front of her.

And seeing the unicorn like this, Alice frowned slightly:

"This time it's troublesome... Maybe it's because you scared it too much before, and it doesn't trust anyone now. Maybe, I can only go to Barcelona..."

Alice didn't finish her sentence.

Because the unicorn moved again.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, it limped to the front of Eve, who was wearing a vest, and lay down obediently at her feet...

By the way, she also raised her head and rubbed her calf in a pleasing manner...

Li Mu:  …

Demacia:  …

Sarandil:  …

Alice:  …

Eve: ...
