Chapter 22: Trust

"You want to borrow an old cave?"

"yes, I need a safe place to do something." Gran said bluntly that he was testing Guri if he would lend out his residence.

"Well, if you really need it, the old decay can lend it to you, and it's no problem to borrow it for a few years." Guri preached generously.

This directly choked Gran, and he felt that Guri's generosity was abnormal.

Generally speaking, who would lend their dwelling to someone else so casually? What's more, they've only known each other for less than a day.

But Guli borrowed it, and he didn't hesitate at all.

It went so smoothly that Gran felt... There must be a scam in this.

[This old guy must have set a trap waiting for me to jump in, so I can't fall for it.] But I need that cave again, and I've got to figure out a way to deal with it. 】

Glenn needed a safe and open place for the second evolution, and the Gurry's Cave was a good choice.

If you want to find a similar place, I don't know how much time it will take.

Using Guri's premises directly saves that time, and if a nearby unicorn can help him, it can also save a lot of uncertainty.

But Glenn didn't think the unicorns could be trusted.

After all, he was beaten to death by the unicorn, and if it weren't for the imprint of the red dragon's power, he would have died long ago.

The first thing he saw after passing out was the unicorn patriarch named Guri, who was forced by the situation to conclude a friendship agreement with Guri.

Since the conclusion of the agreement, Guri has always behaved like a close ally of selfless dedication.

But how long have they known each other? Less than a day.

Acting so friendly just because he's the son of the First Dragon who made a verbal agreement with it?

This cunning creature trusts verbal agreements so much, and he trusts Gran to survive to adulthood in this dangerous world.

Gran felt that there must be something wrong with this.

He needed to test Guri several times to find out its purpose.

"Thank you, Guri. Your willingness to lend out your home has helped me a lot. ”

Gran intends to act like he doesn't have any scheming, and he thinks that people rarely watch out for people who don't have scheming.

Although Guri is not human.

"As long as you have needs, mention it to Lao Yu, and Lao Yu will try his best to meet it, this is a matter in the agreement." Once again, Guri brought up the agreement.

"Well, lend me now if you can." Gran probed again.

"Yes." Guri replied immediately.

"Don't you have anything to organize?"

"No, you can use that abode." Guri still didn't hesitate, but this cheerful attitude made Gran vigilant.

[Can this be understood as that it is ready to harm me?] 】

In order not to make Guri feel that his words and deeds are inconsistent, Gran did not back down.

"Okay, let's go now."

Guri leads Gran to the stone mountain in the unicorn colony and lets him enter the cave on the stone mountain alone.

Gran enters the cave and begins to carefully examine everything in the cave, beware of something that has been tampered with by Guri.

[How can there be a rift?] Will this cave collapse, it won't try to bury me alive? 】

Every crack and mark in the stone wall was regarded as a danger by Gran.

A gust of wind blew into the cavern and blew some dust on Gran, scaring him into thinking that the cave was going to collapse.

Hurried out of the cave, only to find that nothing had happened, and cringed back to the cave.

Gran regained his composure and crawled deeper into the cavern.

There were many white crystals hanging from the stone walls, and Gran remembered that Gurry had somehow made them glow.

[This thing will probably be tampered with by it, and I will have to stay away from these crystals when the time comes.] 】

Gran felt a little frightened as he saw himself being burned to ashes by the flames of the crystals.

[This old guy is really vicious. 】

However, in fact, Guri didn't do anything with the crystals at all.

Gran examines the stone patterns on the stone wall and finds nothing.

[Hiding so deeply?] 】

Still unwilling to believe that Guri had done nothing, Gran continued to investigate the entire cavern.

...

At the same time as Gran and the stone battled wits and courage.

On the other side, Gurry's attempt to let Gran into the cavern attracts several unicorns.

The unicorns were surprised that the patriarch had allowed alien creatures to enter the clan's forbidden land alone.

This cave has been the dwelling place of Guri since a long time ago, and it has never allowed its people to enter it without permission.

An injured young unicorn who had been involved in the siege of Gran yesterday ran up to Guri and said, "Patriarch, why did you allow that monster to enter your precious cave? ”

"Monsters? Don't say that. His name is Glenn, and he is the son of the First Dragon, and will be one of our most reliable allies in the future. And we need to do our best to bring the resources that Glenn needs to it. ”

Guri corrected.

The young unicorn could not accept this and said loudly: "Patriarch, I really don't understand. What's in it for us to win over this monster? It can't beat even the weakest adult unicorn in the clan. ”

"Child, you don't have long to live. When danger comes, our people will definitely need the help of this son of the first dragon. ”

The Guri language preached with great earnestness.

The young unicorn's face turned ugly, he respected Guri and did not want to see Guri die.

But he still stubbornly said: "Patriarch, I must say. What about the sons of the first dragon? When danger comes, only we can save our people, and it is unrealistic to rely on outsiders.

Not to mention that the dragon species is moody, how do you know that it will not betray us? If I really want to rely on outsiders, I'd rather rely on the Titan on the outskirts of the forest. ”

"The old man has been dealing with dragons for hundreds of years, and they are indeed moody. But they regard the name given by heaven and earth as life, and if they swear by their name, they will never break it. Especially for the dragon species of the Ancestral Dragon's lineage 'Flame Dragon', this belief has been engraved into their souls, and violating this is tantamount to letting them go up in smoke. ”

That's why Guri believes that Gran will keep his promise.

"Do you really believe this?" The young unicorn was just as incomprehensible as Gran, and the dragon species had never made a good impression on him since he was born.

"The old man was once an ally of an Ancestral Dragon, so he is willing to believe in the dragon species. Of course, the old man will not force you to agree, if you do not accept this, the old man can leave with this son of the first dragon. ”

Guri preached firmly, and showed his determination.

Then it looked to the center of the sky and continued: "The catastrophe of the world will come one day, and our people can overcome all difficulties, but there is only one difficulty, and we unicorns cannot do anything. ”

The young unicorn was silent as he looked at the unicorns around him.

None of these unicorns agreed with Guri's decision, but they didn't take the initiative to say it.

But they also revere Guri, the old unicorn who has been around since their elders were born, and who have heard and seen it save the tribe several times.

After making eye contact, they nodded to each other, took a deep breath, and said, "We will follow all the decisions of the patriarch. ”
