Chapter 375: Searching for the Holy Beast
Randall's salute had already been packed, and he set off with two retinues and a carriage to follow Lu Ming.
"To tell you the truth, in order not to attract the attention of others, I issued a mercenary mission, and only a few mercenaries were needed to protect my safety from being harassed by robbers. It is really suitable to have the protection of the strong men of the Night Mercenary Group. ”
Lu Ming smiled and didn't speak, this person is calculating, his family has a lot of money, if there are too many guards with him, it will seem that the escort character is important, and it may cause unexpected trouble.
The carriage was shabby, not worth much money, and the clothes of the attendants looked tattered, apparently prepared.
Lu Ming had never heard Randall's name, which meant that she was not from a big family, but judging from what she said just now, this person did have some assets.
Daphne waited outside the city gates with Tempa, and Randall recognized Daphne because elves were rare.
"I didn't expect to have the head of the regiment personally protect me, it's really an honor. ”
Ordinary mercenary groups naturally don't need Randall's compliments, but the forces and rumors behind Daphne can't be ignored, if they can befriend her, wouldn't they be able to mix well in the Posei Empire.
The elves have the natural ability to distinguish between good and evil in a person, and the person does not approach him out of good intentions, so Daphne reacts flatly.
"I can only send her for three days, and after three days, the task will be handed over to you, and I will go to the Earth Temple to attend the meeting. Lu Ming whispered to Daphne.
"Of course, your affairs are the most important, don't worry about us, I just got the guard mark of Lord Cyra two days ago, if there is danger, she will be the first to come. ”
"You sacrificed your body to get it, right?" Lu Ming sneered.
Daphne gave Lu Ming a blank look.
"Even a woman's vinegar has to be eaten, can you have a little interest? ”
Lu Ming snorted twice and no longer discussed the matter, Cyra's special hobby was not unacceptable, but he still felt strange in his heart.
Nominally, Lu Ming is a member of the group, and he has to obey the instructions of the head of the regiment, and he will hand over all the errands and food prepared along the way to Lu Ming.
The carriage was slow and took three months to reach the Duchy of Oros, requiring frequent food procurement.
Daphne and Tianda sat on the White Tiger mount, Lu Ming marched on foot, Randall's two attendants, a man and a woman, the man drove the carriage, and the woman stayed in the carriage to serve Randall.
Tianda took out a thick book and read it, and Daphne used her mental power to control the white tiger and make it more stable when running.
Randall saw it in the carriage, his eyes were surprised, and he guessed in his heart that the young elf was Daphne's child, and it was not clear whether it was related to Duke Lu Ming. Because throughout the ages, elves and humans have never been heard of giving birth to offspring.
For ordinary people, the long journey is the most painful thing, the most distressing when it is convenient in the wilderness, and there are many fierce demons and beasts outside the city, and safety is a big problem.
They walked for a day and a night, far from the royal capital, and came to the great forest of Lem.
Located in the territory of the Posse Empire, the Great Forest of Rem is the second most dangerous place outside of the Azurite Lake.
The Aquamarine Lake is famous for its presence of Sadra, one of the four great ancestral beasts, and the Great Forest of Rem is terrifying because of the hundreds of high-level magical beasts inhabited by it, as well as more than a dozen holy beasts.
Saint-level demonic beasts are extremely powerful, and it takes at least three Sword Masters to join forces to defeat them. Almost all the high combat power of a small country combined.
Usually when people come here, they will bypass it without thinking about it, and would rather spend more time than become the food of the monster.
"Lu Ming, I heard that there are unicorns in the big forest, you go and take a look, if there happens to be cubs, catch them and give them to your son. I'm sure he can make them surrender, and don't hurt the unicorns, they're good friends of the elves. ”
Lu Ming nodded in agreement, his footsteps were light, and he disappeared into the Rem Great Forest.
Seeing Lu Ming burrow into the big forest, Randall was surprised.
"Captain, what is he going to do? It's dangerous there!"
Although he knew that Daphne was a seasoned mercenary and knew far more about dangerous places than he did, he couldn't help but remind him.
Daphne smiled: "Don't worry, Miss, this member of my group is a strong man, and there will be no danger." ”
Randall was relieved at this time, presumably Lu Ming only entered the periphery, hunting some magical beasts to take down the materials, and making some money after selling them.
Lu Ming concealed his breath, sneaked all the way through, and successfully came to the center of the forest.
The scenery is beautiful and one can marvel at the great creativity of nature.
"Yo~"
An adult unicorn spotted Lu Ming and issued a sound warning.
"Human, this is not the place for you to be, and I advise you to leave before the other overlords find out. ”
The overlord it said should be a saint-level demonic beast, and a saint-level demonic beast likes to dominate other races and form a territorial force.
Lu Ming used the spirit beast trick to communicate with the unicorn.
"I'm here for no purpose, it's actually for my child, who is an elf with an excellent pedigree. I want to come here to see if there are any baby unicorns, and it would be great if we could grow up together. ”
The unicorn was surprised, "Elf, you are clearly a human, how can you prove that you have an elven offspring? Why don't you let him come in person?"
It was indeed Lu Ming's negligence, if Tianda could come with him, things would go more smoothly.
Lu Ming took out a bunch of spirit fruits and water of life, as well as the leaves of the World Tree given by the high priest.
Seeing all this, the unicorn has already recognized Lu Ming's identity.
"You have a high status in the Elven Kingdom, and your children deserve the protection of our clan. It just so happens that a cub was born last month, so let's let it witness the friendship between the elf and the unicorn!"
The unicorn raised its head and called, all the unicorns appeared together, Lu Ming carefully counted them, and found that there were three adult unicorns, two growing unicorns and one cub.
They communicated in their own language, and after a few moments, the unicorn cub stepped forward to Lu Ming's side.
"Yo..."
'Take me away.' Lu Ming translated through the spirit beast trick, he liked the unicorn's unobtrusive style.
Picking up the unicorn cub, Lu Ming unfurled the wings of the wind, flapped the wings of the elemental power and flew, and caught up with the carriage in the blink of an eye.
The carriage was taken aback when he saw the creature in Lu Ming's arms. He turned around and said, "Master, that mercenary brought back a unicorn!"
Randall hurriedly opened the curtain to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a rare spirit beast, faintly emitting a holy light.
"Go, Tenda, this is a gift from your father. Daphne urged.
Tianda jumped off the tiger's back, moved his two calves and rushed to Lu Ming, and his excitement could be seen.
Lu Ming put the unicorn on the ground, one person and one beast looked at each other, Tianda put his hand on the unicorn's forehead, and they closed their eyes at the same time to start spiritual communication.
This process lasted for a minute, and the unicorn opened its eyes, with joy in its eyes, and affectionately stuck out its tongue and licked Tianda's fingers.
