Chapter 15: White Shadow
Unicorn.
Gran remembers such a fantasy creature in the memory of his past life.
They look like horses, have a spiral horn on their heads, and have stories about how they like pure maidens, and to be honest, Gran thinks that although this setting sounds holy, it feels a bit obscene when you think about it.
The white figure in front of him is very much in line with Gran's impression of a unicorn.
A white horse with a single horn on his forehead, pale green eyes, and a pure white and flawless hair on his body, shining with a faint light.
A unicorn is eating plants by the stream, and what should have been a dream for Gran is now a reality.
But Gran was in a state of flux at this time, he had seen a living red dragon, and the presence of a unicorn seemed to be no big deal.
It's that he's worried that this unicorn will be an enemy now, it's really troublesome, he's not a pure girl, at most a virgin.
I remember there was a unicorn-related bicorn, that guy... Oh, that kind of guy doesn't seem to like virgins either.
[Shaking and cold, when will the virgin be able to stand up. 】
Gran thought to herself, maybe one day some triangular beast would be willing to help the virgin.
All in all, Gran fears that the unicorn will be as hostile to him as the Iwali Wurm.
The unicorn looked very strong, several laps larger than Gran just by looking at its size.
[Is this guy the danger of hiding next to strange things?] It stands to reason that unicorns should be docile and won't attack me, right? It's hard to say, after all, I might have violated their territory by running here, and no matter how docile I am, I should be mad. 】
Gran stayed in the bushes, waiting for the unicorn to leave.
As soon as the sun went down, the unicorn's ears moved, and it began to look around, its mouth opening and closing as if it were talking to something.
But Gran didn't see anything around it, and he thought the unicorn might just be idle and bored.
The unicorn shook his head and continued to eat.
After ten minutes, the unicorn had eaten enough and left down the stream.
Gran looked in the direction of the unicorn's departure and thought about what to do.
I used to guess that there was something on the other side of the water source, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.
It is estimated that there is still some distance from the water source, and the unicorn should have something to do with the water source, and if you want to get close to the water source, you will definitely come into contact with it.
Is it worth approaching unicorns for the sake of an unknown?
Thinking of this, Gran turned on the system, and perhaps his actions had triggered the task.
There's a new quest in the taskbar.
Kill a unicorn and reward a small amount of evolution points.
Gran was speechless for a while, the anger of this system is inevitably too heavy, and he will give a task to kill whoever he sees.
However, looking at the mission rewards alone, this unicorn doesn't seem to be as powerful as the rock wurm.
Iwdi Wurm rewards a medium amount of evolution points, and Unicorns only award a small amount of evolution points.
The medium amount has 400 evolution points, and the small amount does not know how many, and the scavenging good quest only rewards a small amount of evolution points, and the difficulty of killing unicorns is between them.
Gran began to think that if only the Red Dragon was still around, he would be able to ask about the unicorn and even ask the Red Dragon to help him more.
Red Dragon shouldn't mind helping him, right?
However, the more you let the Red Dragon help, the more you owe him, and you may not be able to afford it when the time comes.
"Can you take your life back?"
Red Dragon Red's angry face suddenly appeared in Gran's mind.
Gran was startled, he knew that this was not what Red Dragon said, but he imagined it to scare himself.
Gran is grateful to the Red Dragon for saving his life and has done a lot to help him.
But he still felt that the red dragon would not help him selflessly, and he would have something to offer.
After all, Gran hasn't been able to fully trust Red Dragon, he still only trusts himself.
Either way, Gran has to make a choice about the current situation.
To move forward or to give up?
Gran chooses to give up the search for water for a while, and spend a few days investigating the unicorn-related matter, and by the way, investigating another matter.
'Winged Herald', which Glenn needs to befriend or kill in order to complete the mission, replaces the talent 'Glide' with the talent 'Flight'.
Flying, which Green believes is an extremely important talent, should allow him to grow wings and soar above the blue sky.
Being able to fly means he can do more, which is a great help for escape, and monsters like Iwadi Wurm who can only crawl around on the ground will not be able to help him when the time comes.
Glenn sees the talent for flying as something he must get his hands on, much more than the SSR talent with unclear results.
It's just that he doesn't have a clue about the Winged Herald, only that it has something to do with the forest.
What kind of creature is this? Listen to the salutation, the winged apostle? I can only imagine the appearance of an angel, or the image of an angel from a very early age, a human head without limbs with several wings.
It's funny and weird to think about, and Gran hopes the 'winger' doesn't look like that.
Gran was a little suspicious that the unicorn was the 'winger', but the 'winger' should have wings, probably not the unicorn.
Will there be other unicorns in this forest? Or a bicorn? Triceratops? Forty or fifty horned beasts?
Gran looked into the depths of the forest, and there were only similar plants, very ordinary.
This forest is much more special than it seems, with a Iwdi wurm on the outskirts of the forest, a dryad chasing down a Iwdi wurm, a red dragon passing by, and a Titan who was awakened by the red dragon.
There is a unicorn in the center of the forest, the 'Winged Herald', and it is not known what will be discovered next.
Crucially, Gran was born in this forest, and he can clearly remember that his eggs were placed directly in broad daylight, as if he was not afraid of being eaten.
He had been looking for his lizard parents before, but there were no lizards in the forest that resembled his pre-evolution form.
Gran thought to herself, "I wasn't born here at all, am I? 】
Then there are more problems.
Why was he brought here? Who brought him here? Did the people who brought him here know about his past life?
Gran couldn't help but think that maybe everything around him was arranged, and that someone wanted him to be hunted down by the Irock Wurm, hoping that he would meet the Red Dragon.
Gran shuddered at the thought of this.
He doesn't like to be a pawn on someone else's chessboard, which feels very uncomfortable.
[Could that guy be an Ancestral Dragon?] 】
According to Red Dragon Red, the Ancestral Dragons were powerful enough to be called gods, and it shouldn't be troublesome for them to control a small lizard like themselves.
The most important thing is that the Ancestral Dragons also came from the other world, are they related to their own crossing?
He was already prone to overthinking, and one conjecture after another appeared in Gran's head.
A breeze blew, and a leaf fell on Gran, pulling him back from his conjecture.
He's still in the middle of the forest, and it's not safe here.
Keeping the conjecture in his mind, Gran began to act again.
Now that he had eaten and slept enough, he decided to start with the environment around the stream.
Let's see if we can find information about the Winged Herald and the Unicorn.
A few hours later,
Gran found something next to a few bushes.
