  Chapter 46 The Five Ring Mage
  waited for a while, but there was no sign of the colorful flower opening.

  Whatever magical effects are going on inside, it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon.

  Hua Mi did not forget today's main task.

  Set out as soon as possible to find the unicorn while it's still early.

  Xiao Chengzi went with him as a guide and translator.

  Although this time I went there for the purpose of negotiation.

  But Hua Mi still brought the bee swarm, the compound bow, and the Fengshen arrow in the quiver.

  Be prepared.

  Under the guidance of Xiao Chengzi, he rushed all the way to his destination.

  The ice age is approaching, and not only insects and birds have disappeared, but some large beasts have also entered hibernation.

  The ground was almost covered with fallen leaves and was soft when stepped on, making it difficult to walk on.

  Fortunately, in the past two months, Hua Mi has returned to nature and her physical condition has improved a lot.

  In addition, now that I am familiar with the terrain, my ability to move in the forest has been greatly enhanced, so my walking is not too slow.

  Even so, by noon, we had only walked half the distance.

  The distance between his Bee Whisperer hut and the ruins of Black Keep where the unicorn lives is simply too far.

  "I probably won't be able to go back tonight... I just hope this trip won't be in vain."

  Hua Mi was already ready to spend the night outside.

  "Take a rest for a while."

  Hua Mi asked Xiao Chengzi to stop, took out the food, and sat on the ground with his back against a big tree, preparing to have lunch.

  When I go out, I always bring quick meals, such as bread and sandwiches.

  Of course, honey is essential.

  You can drink it by soaking it in water, or you can put it on your food to make it more delicious.

  The high concentration of sugar can quickly replenish physical energy in the wild.

  "Where is the ruins of the Black Castle where the unicorn is? Judging from the name, it used to be a castle, but it was abandoned later?" During the meal

  , Hua Mi chatted with Xiao Chengzi.

  "Yes." Little Orange swallowed the honey in his mouth and said, "It turned out to be a vampire's castle there. Because the stones in the castle were all dark, it was called the Black Castle." "Then it happened

  . What? That vampire was killed by an adventurer?"

  "It is true that many adventurers came to defeat the vampire, but they all ended in failure. Many adventurers lost their lives, and some unfortunately became vampire spawns... Then one day, the unicorn appeared, and it was it that defeated the vampire."

  "So that's it..." "

  But vampires are evil undead creatures that have been transformed by a curse, and it is difficult to completely destroy them with normal methods. The most the body can do is seal it. Therefore, the vampire has not actually been eliminated, but is just sealed and sleeping somewhere in the ruins."

  So, the unicorn stayed there to suppress the vampire and prevent it from resurrecting?
  Hua Mi kept this information in mind.

  Knowing more about it in advance may be useful in subsequent negotiations.

  Whether negotiating or fighting, the importance of information cannot be ignored.

  Relying only on strength is called recklessness.

  Hua Mi was about to ask further, but Little Chengzi suddenly became alert, her two pointed ears twitched, and she looked in a certain direction.

  Without waiting for Hua Mi to say anything, she hurriedly swallowed the honey ball in front of her, slipped in quickly along the sleeves of her black robe, and got to his shoulder. She stood up and lay down in his ear and whispered: "Someone is coming. Already."

  Hua Mi also immediately became vigilant.

  He immediately got up and went to open the magic box in the open space nearby. He controlled a pain bee and a circumcision bee to fly out and got into the two sleeves of his black robe respectively. They stayed firmly attached inside, ready to go.

  With just a thought, two squads of bees can come out to attack.

  Then he put the magic box away again, sat back down, continued eating, and waited for the uninvited guests.

  About a minute passed.

  Several figures appeared in the direction that Xiao Chengzi pointed just now. "There are 5 in total."

  Hua Mi quietly observed the newcomers with his peripheral vision.

  They are different in height, short, fat and thin.

  And they don't seem to be all human.

  They walked straight towards Hua Mi.

  The leader should be humans.

  He has the appearance of an old man, wearing a gray robe, his gray hair is neatly styled, his face has wrinkles carved by time, and his eyes give people a very wise feeling.

  He held a staff in his hand, with a bead suspended in the hollow at the top, emitting a pale light.

  "Good afternoon."

  The old man greeted him with a smile. His voice sounded very peaceful, giving people a feeling of sunshine and warmth, and he would unconsciously relax his vigilance.

  "Good afternoon."

  Hua Mi replied briefly, lowering her voice.

  At the same time, he took the opportunity to take a closer look at the other four guys.

  Following him on the left is a girl with medium-long hair. She is young and beautiful. She is also wearing a gray robe, which is slightly loose. She also has a staff in her hand, but it is much simpler than the old man. It is said that it is Not a single stick can be wrong.

  On the right is a dwarf, less than one meter tall, with scruffy features, a body like a wine barrel, hair as messy as a golden lion, and a dirty beard tied randomly with a hemp rope, with the end almost hanging to the ground, holding a hand. A hammer with spikes, he raised his head and stared at Hua Mi. He didn't know what he was thinking. In short, it was not a kind look.

  There was also a small human being who looked like a hemp stalk, leaning sideways and standing behind, looking at Hua Mi from the corner of his eye.

  The last one... Hua Mi wasn't sure whether it was human or not, or even whether it was a boy or a girl.

  The whole body was covered under a gray robe, and the exposed part under the hood was also wrapped in bandages. It was covered more tightly than Hua Mi, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.

  "It's so rude. My mentor, who is a fifth-ring mage, takes the initiative to greet you, but you don't even want to get up." The girl said dissatisfied.

  Five-ring mage!

  What's the meaning?
  Although Hua Mi didn't understand, she still looked at the old man one more time and pretended to be impressed by him.

  The old man seemed to be satisfied with his reaction, and the smile on his face deepened: "It doesn't matter, we are disturbing them. No need to get up, your lunch looks great."

  Hua Mi had no intention of getting up at first. Bee was ready to charge at any time, and said calmly: "Want to eat together?"

  After several years of business, when communicating with people, even if there is a knife hidden in his sleeve, he can remain as calm as water on the outside.

  "If you want to entertain us, you may not have brought enough food."

  The old man said something humorous, paused, and then continued: "The magic resources in the Black Forest are very poor now. After the star rating has been reduced, few adventurers will come here to explore. It is rare to see anyone. That's why I came to say hello. I would like to ask, where is your destination? Maybe we can go together."

  Hua Mi took a sip of water and said unhurriedly: "I appreciate the kindness, but I am used to walking alone."

  Then. The girl frowned and wanted to say something else.

  But the old man took a look and held it back.

  "Then don't interrupt, please continue to enjoy your delicious lunch."

  With that, the old man turned around and led them away.

  Looking at the direction, at least it wasn't towards the ruins of Black Castle.

  After walking a certain distance, the dwarf would turn around and glare at him from time to time, as if he had some deep grudge against him.

  It wasn't until those five figures disappeared into the depths of the forest that Hua Mi's hanging heart returned to her stomach.

  When you go out, you can't open a wormhole at any time, so you should be cautious.

  There was an itching sensation in my chest.

  Little Chengzi lifted his collar and exposed his head.

  "What is a five-ring mage?" he asked.
