Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Centaur Tribe
A few little golden unicorns flew happily towards Allen, their immature, rickety flight that would make everyone who saw them smile softly from the bottom of their hearts. Alan is exactly like this, his face is no longer a gentle smile like a mask, but the entire corner of his eyes and eyebrows are showing joy, revealing tenderness.
The little unicorns rubbed their heads and arched their waists beside Allen, lively and cute!"Alan, are you coming to see us?" One of the smallest, wet-eyed unicorns was held in Alan's arms.
"I'm sorry, Lucy, I'm here to find Gaia this time. It's a real surprise to see you. "Sincerity is important in human interactions, and even more so in relationships with animals. Regardless of human or beast, as long as you have a sincere heart, you can always gain true friendship. Eren is reluctant to deceive the simple, cute little unicorn.
The little unicorns were not disappointed or disappointed, Lucy jumped out of Alan's arms, and ran back to the passage leading to the settlement lively, shouting as she ran, "Alan, I'll help you call Sister Gaia!" It looks like it's going to be a long time before the little unicorns get used to their new wings!
It didn't take long for a crisp voice to come, "Alan, are you looking for me?" it was Gaia, who was still holding a basket of colorful berries. These berries are full of color, and you can tell at first glance that they are fresh and delicious.
"Alan, come and taste these berries! The people know of your arrival, and help me pick them as fast as they can!" Gaia placed the basket lightly in front of Alan.
Alan smiled and thanked him, took a few berries from the top, and fed them to the little unicorn who saw that Gaia had all turned into good babies. It seems that in the unicorn group, Gaia is not only a little princess, but also a big sister!
"Ellen, Lucy told me that you are not here to be a guest of the unicorn clan this time, but you have something to do with me, I wonder how I can help you?" Gaia looked at Eren with soft eyes, she had never seen such a gentle male wizard as Alan, and by his side, there would be a feeling of spring breeze.
"Gaia, you're familiar with Ferenze, right? It invited me to its tribe, but I didn't ask it where the centaurs' tribe were. Alan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "So I wanted you to help lead the way." ”
"Poof," Gaia laughed unceremoniously, "you guys were so careless, the host forgot to tell the guest the address, and the guest didn't have the host's contact information!" Gaia forgot that Ferenze was there when Eren invited him.
"Well, I'll be happy to help you!" Gaia, who had laughed enough, readily agreed, and said that she was ready to go.
"Thank you, Gaia. Alan picked up a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, placing the rest back in the storage compartment. Waving goodbye to a few reluctant little unicorns, Eren follows Gaia and sets off for the centaur tribe.
"It's been a long time since I've tried to run in the Forbidden Forest!" "Ever since she had wings, Gaia has been like a little girl with a new toy, and she loves flying.
They were heading not far from the unicorn colony, around a wide, winding river, (Gaia offered to fly there with her, but out of respect for Gaia, Eren declined the offer.) Although Gaia had taken him through the skies more than once, Eren knew how much freedom a unicorn had lifted from the curse. They descended the slopes of the hills, covered with lush, soft grass, to a wide valley with a narrow, rushing river flowing at the bottom. In the clearing by the river, large patches of foxglove and wild roses grow, and bees buzz to and fro.
"Ferenze, Ferenze!" Gaia suddenly shouted, startling Allen, who was immersed in the beauty.
After a while, Alan heard the sound of horses' hooves, Dada Dada...... The sound grew louder and louder, and the whole valley seemed to tremble. Suddenly, Alan saw several animals run out of the bushes - the majestic Ferenze, the melancholy young man of the centaurs, Ronan, and the angry Bane, followed by a dozen unnamed centaurs of various colors.
Alan was about to greet Fezzelen when he saw the horses parting in pairs, bending their front legs, bowing their proud heads, and bowing their waists, as if saluting the superior. A majestic, strong horseman stepped out with a powerful step, it was still daylight, but Alan seemed to feel that his every step was starlight. Its muscular body glowed chestnut, its noble head rose in a dashing manner, a lock of golden-red beard fluttered on its chest, and its eyes were deep and charming, as if there was a starry sky hidden in them, so that Alan did not dare to look at it for a long time, lest he be lost in it and unable to extricate himself.
"Welcome, Alan, I'm Matilda, the head of the centaurs. I've heard Ferenze and Gaia tell you about your deeds, and I've wanted to meet you for a long time. Last night's stars told me that it was a privilege for us centaurs to have a distinguished guest on our doorstep today. "The voice of this horseman, who is full of the demeanor of a king, is like a bell, but it is unusually cold and majestic.
Alan doesn't underestimate the other party because of his active voice. Centaurs have always disliked mixing with human things, they have strong combat ability, superb astrology, accurate prophecy, and no less intelligent than humans, but they are in a corner of the world, and take the initiative to be classified as animals. Proud and intelligent, they have survived wars and tribulations, but still maintain a good inheritance and a complete race, and their strength and wisdom can be seen. And now, the king of centaurs, who is arrogant by nature and unwilling to be driven and restrained by humans, has treated Eren so politely, which makes Eren flattered and vigilant.
"Venerable centaur king, I don't know if there is anything I can do for you?" Akito didn't say dark words, and Alan went straight to the point, but this straightforward personality seemed to make this centaur king appreciate it even more.
"There is really something where you need help. After meeting with you, Ferenze noticed that the stars had changed. We centaurs have carefully studied the trajectory of the stars, and there has indeed been a change. The guidance from the stars is that you have an item of great importance to the development of our species, and we do need your help. ”
Matilda admits that for the wise, going around in circles and talking around corners is a waste of time and unwise. Getting straight to the point and being honest is the best way to go.
