Chapter 206: Unicorn

The moon is thick, the unicorn's paradise is peaceful, and apart from the "violent" incident that is happening in a corner, everything is so harmonious and peaceful.

After a period of intimidation and interrogation, the white wolf took some information from the mouth of the lone unicorn, and finally had a general understanding of the area and the unicorn's situation.

Unicorns are a race protected by elves, the maze on the outskirts of the valley is laid by elves, the giant tree in the middle of the depression is also planted by elves, the maze provides a safe environment for unicorns, except for elves, it is difficult for outsiders to break through the maze into the unicorn's habitat, and the giant tree, for them to provide a valuable source of food.

Unicorns as a magical creature that can pass through the web of life, the requirements for the living environment are extremely harsh, take food as an example, these guys only eat some fruits from rare plants, ordinary plants they don't look at at all, it stands to reason that such a picky guy should have been extinct long ago, but the elves have created an environment suitable for their survival, take this big tree as an example, its fruits are just able to meet the requirements of the unicorns, just like that, the unicorns are raised by the elves, and live a happy life every day when they are full of food and sleep, and sleep and eat happily。

Unicorns have the advantage of crossing the web of life, and there is a horn with strong attack power, it can be said that they are all advantages, but as the saying goes, the gods open a door for you, and they will inevitably close a window for you, the disadvantage of unicorns is that their fertility rate is very low, so even if they have lived here for a long time and bred generation after generation, their population has been maintained at a certain number up and down, according to unicorns, these guys in the fog should be all the unicorns existing in the world。

The elves provide shelter for the unicorns, correspondingly, the unicorns also serve the elves, sometimes, the elves will come here to choose mounts, generally only the elves with a high status are eligible for a unicorn, the unicorns also regard being the elf's mount as a special honor to treat, every time the elves come to choose the beast, the unicorns will compete desperately in the dark.

Their more permanent mission is to act as messengers for the elves, which is a simple errand job, in which a unicorn is periodically on standby in the web of life, and as soon as it smells of a "summon", it will pass through the web of life to the location of the "summon".

The reason why only one unicorn is sent to standby is because summons are quite rare, and it is extremely rare for two summons in different positions to appear at the same time, so one unicorn is enough to cope with this work.

When the unicorn arrives at the place where the summon is located, it has the power to receive the sacrifice and provide the summoner with a brief "mount" service, bringing the summoner to the elves' abode through the web of life.

Once the summoner rides on the unicorn's back, he will not be repelled by the web of life, and seems to be a part of the unicorn by default, which is why the summoner must be a humanoid creature, because only humanoids can ride on the unicorn's back, and if you think about it, this rule is actually quite reasonable.

The white wolf felt that the elves' way of using unicorns was simply a waste of resources, as long as there were trees, they could shuttle freely, and there was still a lot of room for exploration of this ability that was close to teleportation.

If such a force can be used in warfare, it is no longer difficult to transmit information on the battlefield, and to some extent, the use of unicorns is a more powerful means of communication than the telegraph, after all, electronic signals can also be intercepted by electromagnetic shielding, but no one can enter the web of life to intercept unicorns.

Some key materials and key personnel can also be transported through the web of life, which is much safer and more economical than running long distances and sending a bunch of guards to escort them.

This ability can also be used for assassination, if the enemy commander is standing next to a tree trunk, it is easy to be stabbed through by a unicorn coming out of the tree, provided that the unicorn knows where the trunk is in the web of life.

"I've told you everything I can tell you... So... Can you let me go?" the unicorn had already spoken with a dry mouth, and in the interrogation just now, it had already revealed the secrets of the unicorns and elves because it was afraid of death.

"Not yet. The white wolf shook his head.

"How can you be untrustworthy!The elves say that those who don't have integrity will be spurned by Silver Star and nature!" The unicorn looked shocked and angry, but still kept his voice down in fear.

During this conversation, the white wolf vaguely noticed that the unicorns seemed to have another special ability, that is, to judge whether the person they were talking to was lying, but the unicorn seemed to be deliberately hiding this ability of its own, and should use it as its hole card.

"I'm also forced by the situation... I'm going to look for the elves, but the guy you said was watching over the web of life is already hanging, and I'll have to find another unicorn and let him take me to find the elves. The white wolf leaked a helpless expression.

"What does that mean, Ainz said?" he hung up?" asked the unicorn, confused.

Meaning, he died in an accident. "The white wolf didn't lie to it, and being bitten to death by himself was indeed an accident to some extent, but from the perspective of a unicorn, the connotation of this accident is not so rich.

"How is that possible? How did he die?" the unicorn looked shocked.

"Because it wanted to eat my sacrifice so quickly that it accidentally cut its throat with a stone. The white wolf said, he was stating the fact that the unicorn named Ainz had indeed been accidentally bitten by himself, and that the stone and teeth contained calcium carbonate, in a sense, the teeth were stones.

The white wolf also uses another sophistry here, the thing that kills the unicorn is a stone, not a white wolf, and in fact the "stone" is controlled by the white wolf, and the white wolf deliberately cuts off the connection between them, so that the unicorn's death is said to be an accident.

The words of the white wolf are very vague, they are all facts to some extent, but if you pinch off the head and tail of these partial facts, and connect them, it becomes another "truth", the unicorn widened his eyes, looked at the white wolf in shock, and seemed to have believed the white wolf's words, the ability to recognize lies did not work, or rather, in fact, it had worked, but it was fooled by the white wolf.

"Poor Ainz ... Unexpectedly... He died like that.." The unicorn in front of him was very sad, and his eyes glistened with tears.

"He's dead, and if you can help me find the elves, I can give you the sacrifice. The white wolf swore that he was not lying, and if the unicorn would take him to the elf, then why not give it the blood of the gods.

"It's... This..."The unicorn didn't seem very reluctant to the white wolf's proposal.

"How about taking a look at my sacrifice before making a decision?" the white wolf took out the wooden cup from behind his back, then lifted the lid of the cup through a small gap and leaned in front of the unicorn's nose.

The unicorn twitched his nose in disbelief, and the smell of the wooden cup suddenly shook his spirits.

"It's... This is... Divine blood?" the unicorn was shocked, if it weren't for the white wolf covering its mouth, this guy would have screamed loudly.

"Yes . . . That's right, it's divine blood, so what do you think?" asked the white wolf.

"I promised!"

"You take me to the elves, I will give you the blood of the gods, this matter, only the two of us know, we must not tell others, a word is a certainty?"

"It's a deal!" said the unicorn, agreeing dryly.

The white wolf did not immediately unlock the seal for the unicorn, but first slipped to a hidden place and carved a space-time rune there, so that if he can establish a space-time coordinate system and space-time scale in the future, he can use this rune as a coordinate and directly open the portal to this secret realm, these unicorns are very important strategic resources, and the white wolf can't help but think about them carefully.

"Let's go. After carving the runes of time and space, the white wolf returned to the unicorn's position and injected a small stream of thunder into its body, completely neutralizing the disordered electricity in the unicorn's body.

The unicorn felt that the tingling sensation in his body was gone, and the pain caused by the electricity was gone, so he quickly stood up, kicked his hooves, and subconsciously wanted to escape, but he remembered the divine blood and stopped his hooves again.

"It seems that you still understand the stakes, and if you escape, you will never want to get your hands on the blood of the gods. The white wolf closed the lid tightly and picked up the wooden cup.

"Follow me. The white wolf glanced at the unicorn and headed for the entrance to the valley.

"Uh... In fact... I can go directly to the web of life here, and usually only the elves need to go through that valley pass. The unicorn whispered to stop the white wolf, and pointed its horn at the trunk of the nearby tree, indicating that it was the right direction.

"Hmm... All right... It seems that I am not very comfortable with your unicorn way of thinking, so you can lead the way. The white wolf said helplessly.

"Follow me, the pathways to the web of life can only be opened for a while, and when this time is over, they will automatically close. The unicorn said earnestly.

"Understood. The white wolf nodded, and then followed closely behind the unicorn, leaping into the web of life.

Wonderful!
