Chapter 44 Unicorn’s Horn
Lying quietly on the table was a beige envelope.
Hua Mi walked over and picked it up.
Recipient: Bee Whisperer of Black Forest.
Among them, the word "bee whisperer" is a transliteration.
There is no other information beyond this.
No sender, no postmark.
Didn't even speak.
The entire envelope is a single entity.
Hua Mi was about to tear it apart.
At this time, an irregular small hole suddenly appeared on the envelope, with a shiny edge, like a hole made by a spark falling on it.
Then the small hole quickly expanded around.
Similar small holes appeared in other places at the same time. As they expanded, they gradually connected and became one, and the envelope quickly became blurred.
The last thing left in Hua Mi's hand was a piece of letter paper folded in half.
Open it and read a paragraph:
"I will arrive in three days. If you want to decorate the space with magic, please prepare no less than 15g of unicorn horn powder within three days. No waiting will be done if you exceed the deadline - Jade King's Special Architectural Designer, 'Glimmer' Alais."
Hua Mi was slightly stunned.
Not Syndra?
Judging from the signature, this shimmering Alais should be the master she mentioned.
As expected of a master, his words are amazing.
However, this title was really simple and unpretentious. It made him feel like he was on earth for a moment.
What Hua Mi didn't expect was that the master actually replied to the letter in person.
You have to come in person.
Syndra said that the other party didn't like humans. Hua Mi thought there would be some twists and turns, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"Could it be that the bottle of honey given to her had an effect?"
But just a bottle of honey, even if it is something that does not exist in this world, is probably not enough to invite an elf master, right?
His intuition told him that there must be other reasons...
Let's not worry about it for now.
In short, an important step has been taken towards the goal of greenhouse construction.
The question now is how to obtain the materials needed for space magic, which is no less than 15g of unicorn horn powder.
There are only three days left.
There is indeed a unicorn in the Black Forest.
But you can't just walk up to it and say you need some powder.
He would probably be killed by a corner of it.
Hua Mi took out the Black Forest Adventure Guide and turned to the page about unicorns.
[Unicorn]
This is a species that looks like a white horse, but don't think about taking it as a mount. It is about the same difficulty as riding a dragon, or even more difficult. As far as the author knows, only one legendary hero in history has had such an honor, and it was only temporary.
The unicorn has a spiral-shaped horn on its forehead, hence its name. This is the part where it restrains and releases magic power. If a unicorn loses its horn, its own magic power will become difficult to control.
Unicorns generally live alone and have extremely long lifespans. Therefore, they do not have much need for reproduction and their desire to mate is not strong, resulting in a rare number.
Except for dragons, there should be no species rarer than unicorns (the author has limited knowledge, but is mentally fragile, so if you have any different opinions, please keep it to yourself).
Many people mistakenly believe that unicorns have low intelligence because they often get no response when communicating with them.
In fact, the intelligence of unicorns is the same as that of most humanoid species, or even smarter. It does not respond to the outside world just because of its arrogant nature.
[Magic Resistance Full]: Unicorns have extremely high resistance to magic. When prepared, they can even absorb the magic power released by the enemy through their unicorn, and use it to release it for their own use. Attack his shield.
[Healing ability]: Unicorns have high magic resistance and are not susceptible to magic damage. They have high agility and are not easily hit by physical attacks. But in contrast, once injured, recovery will be extremely slow, and due to its resistance to magic, potions and recovery magic will have minimal effect.
[Livable location]: Unicorns can survive in various environments, but prefer forests, especially ancient forests with a long history.
[Natural Lord]: Where a unicorn lives, there will be a calm and peaceful atmosphere around it, because the small animals will unconsciously regard the unicorn as their king and serve it spontaneously, improving their intelligence to a certain extent. Get rid of the savage nature of animals and become more civilized.
[Magic Talent]: Unicorns' magical talents are amazing. They are natural magic artists and teachers. Elves have the most say in this regard. Many of their magics are imitated and created by observing unicorns.
... Regarding the unicorn in the black forest, the author's advice is not to provoke it, just pretend you can't see it when you encounter it.
Because even if you are face to face, as long as you don't take the initiative to attack, the unicorn will not hurt you.
But if you anger it, don't panic, don't run, bravely look directly into its eyes, so that you can die with more dignity.
Generally speaking, adventurers who enter the black forest will not target unicorns.
Because there are rumors that individuals who harm unicorns will be punished by heaven and be cursed with bad luck. It sounds mysterious, but adventurers especially believe this.
Judging from the description in the article, the unicorn's horn is equivalent to its magic controller and absorber. In short, it is very important to it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the main body.
Asking it for horn powder is like asking Saitama-sensei for a few hairs. It would be weird if he didn't get knocked out with one punch.
If you try hard, you may not be able to succeed.
Although the unicorn has full magic resistance, its pain tolerance is average.
The Pain Bee attacked first, and while it was rolling on the ground in pain, the Ringing Bee cut off its horns and ran away.
The plan is simple yet powerful.
However, what worries Hua Mi the most is not whether the plan can succeed, but whether she will really be cursed if the plan succeeds.
This is a magical world, it’s really hard to say.
"This is simple!"
Xiao Zi gushed after hearing this.
"What can you do?" Hua Mi looked at her suspiciously.
"It and I are good friends. All I have to do is go find it for a little bit of horn powder." Xiao Zi put her hands on her hips and said proudly.
"Are you sure?"
Hua Mi questioned.
The impression this little guy had left on him during this period was that she was unreliable. It was hard to accept that she could really solve this problem easily.
"Of course! I'll go find it right now!"
After saying that, Xiao Zi flew out in a hurry, as if she couldn't wait to prove herself.
Xiao Cheng was a little worried about her, so she followed her.
Although Hua Mi didn't quite believe her, she still hoped she could succeed.
"Let me be impressed, little Zi Mao!"
...
In the evening, two pseudo-flower spirits returned home.
Xiao Zi lay on Xiao Cheng's back with her body covered in charred black. She was in a daze and couldn't even open one eye.
He looked like an illegal child laborer who had just been rescued from a black coal mine.
"What happened?"
Xiao Cheng sighed and told what happened.
it's actually really easy.
After they found the unicorn, Xiao Zi went up and asked it to give it some horn powder.
The unicorn refused.
Xiao Zi added that just a little bit would be fine.
The unicorn ignored her.
Xiao Zi thought it was shaken, so she continued to persuade.
As a result, the unicorn was so annoyed that he summoned a bolt of lightning and struck her down.
"..."
Hua Mi couldn't help but said, "Aren't you good friends?"
Good friends won't get criticized for saying too much.
"It doesn't look that good..."
Xiao Zi said sadly.
