Chapter 55: The Unicorn

But now he was an orphan, an older orphan, so he decided to fill the gap in his heart, so he got married, and he wanted to have a child.

People who have not experienced it cannot understand the helpless feeling of having a son who wants to raise but his relatives are not there.

Even countless remorseful and scolding oneself for being unfilial cannot make up for that feeling of guilt.

He knew it was a psychological compensatory effect, but he wasn't going to come out of it.

Because although this feeling is painful, it also gives him nutrients for growth, let him know what he should do and what kind of person he should be.

So, now this psychology falls on Catherine, or Matthew.

Despite coming from another world, he is truly grateful to Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess, for giving him a chance to make amends.

The train continued to move slowly with its pants and pants, and it took three full days to reach Gaokan City.

Phil was awakened by the whining whistle and opened his eyes, with tears in his eyes, and he found himself lying on a bed that shook regularly.

The figure of a woman sat next to the bed, with her back to him, holding a book in her hand, reading intently.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he knew that it must be Catherine, and he seemed to be still immersed in a dream, so he just sat up and gave her a big hug.

"Ahh

"How are you?"

"Young master, you're awake, I'll go tell Madame. ”

"Why are you wearing Catherine's clothes?"

"It was given to me by Madame, saying that she should dress as decently as possible, and not let the people of the Earl's Court look down on her. ”

"Blair, you're fat!"

“......”

Until he got off the train, Phil had a black face.

He took Catherine's hand and walked in front, while Blair followed cautiously with his head down, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

"I heard you hugged Blair?"

"Hmm,...... A misunderstanding. ”

"That's the wrong person, who do you want to hug? Is it your noble and charming mother? Why don't you hug at home, every time I want to hug you, I look disgusted, I have to be on the train? Why do you still blush? What is there to be embarrassed about. ”

Catherine seemed to be much more relaxed when she saw her son wake up in time, and it was rare for Phil to be so embarrassed, and the words in her mouth were like machine guns, and she kept talking, so that the passengers on and off the platform looked at them.

"......" Phil was even more embarrassed and wanted to cover his face.

"Don't talk again? You've been close to me since I was a child, and when you were so young, you disliked me. As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to the length of the length.

“......”

Phil felt that his face was burned to the point that he could fry an egg, and he was speechless.

This is in public, and your old man doesn't pay attention to it, what about the lady's demeanor? What about the lady of the grand knight?

He hurriedly tugged at Catherine's arm and gestured around with his eyes.

This tugged Catherine a little calmer, she glared at her son, looked up and changed into a reserved and kind smile, and nodded and greeted the passing travelers from time to time, completely unable to see the petty face of the philistine a minute ago.

Phil breathed a sigh of relief and secretly vowed not to hug anyone in the future.

He glared back at Blair, and looked back at the little maid's more resentful gaze, feeling much more comfortable.

Blair looked left and right, Boa was not there, it had begun to hibernate and was left at home, who should she stare at?

Matthew, who is just 38 years old this year, had already taken a vacation two days ago and came to Gokan City.

At this moment, he had been waiting outside the train station for half an hour, and although the winter in Gaokan City was colder than usual this year, he was still wearing only an autumn military uniform, and he stood straight under the tree, without any impatience.

Just stared straight at the exit, hoping that the two familiar figures would appear as soon as possible.

Fortunately, even in the endless flow of people, the white and blonde hair color of the two women is still very eye-catching, especially under the reflection of the sun, and even a little sparkling.

It was his own gem, one of a kind.

Matthew greeted him and gave his wife a warm and warm kiss.

If it weren't for the train station, he would even want to pick his wife up and take a few turns to express his longing, as she liked most when she was younger.

Then, Matthew bent down again and gave his son a big hug.

Fortunately, this kid is quite face-saving, not like when he was a child, and even patted him on the back a few times, which seemed to be comforting, which made Matthew a little crying and laughing.

After helping the mother and son into the carriage, Matthew turned over and mounted his mount, accompanied him outside the carriage window, and talked to Catherine as he went.

No way, even in the cold winter, as an active low-ranking commander, he must ride a horse, and cannot accompany his wife and children in a car, after all, this is a military city.

Phil looked curiously at Matthew's mount, and even with Matthew's acquiescence, he reached out of the window and touched the satin-smooth fur.

It was the first time he had seen a military mount.

Matthew's mount's name is "Jacques", which means swift as the wind in the Ward language.

Jacques is an authentic black unicorn, really a unicorn in Western magic novels in the previous life, the overall size is like a horse, with a ring-shaped mane around its neck, and it looks very fierce, like a lion.

The teeth are shallowly serrated and feed mainly on plants, especially grasses with thick leaves and full of juice.

Common coat colors are silver, white, black, reddish-brown and gray, and the further the color goes, the more noble the steed, and legend has it that some people have seen golden unicorns.

Adult unicorns are usually about 2 meters tall and 3 and a half meters long, and they run smoothly and quickly.

But unlike horses on Earth, unicorns have much more elongated heads, not as wide as horses.

In addition, both male and female have a sharp hard horn about one foot long in the forehead bone on the top of their heads, hence the name, and they are veritable unicorns.

Each unicorn, depending on its appearance, has a pair of deformed fleshy wings, that is, wings, on the side of the body.

Flesh wings do not have feathers, but membranes connected to each other's skeletons, more like the wings of bats.

The higher the level, the more complete and wide the pair of wings becomes.

It is said that the Grand Master of the Royal Knights of the Imperial Capital is a fully developed silver unicorn that can even fly short distances with its own two fleshy wings.

But for a mount, the unicorn is not the first choice for the various units of the Wardsman Empire.

The first is body type.

Ward men, especially soldiers, are usually two meters tall, with thick skeletons, and their own weight is not light, and it is a terrible weight when they are covered with heavy armor.

Although the unicorn is extremely fast, its body frame is slightly thin, and the low-level one may be able to ride on weekdays, but it is simply not able to support a heavily armed knight to fight on the battlefield.

This is why the Wardsmann Empire usually used unicorns in the garrison of the imperial capital and some light cavalry units, while the border armies preferred to use the majestic beast dragon as a heavy cavalry mount.

On the battlefield, the hoplites of the Wardsman Empire are often the best of the best, with fewer numbers, and they all perform frontal crushing and charging combat missions, with the ability to fight a decisive battle, and most of the Wardsman soldiers are the best hoplites.

But this also often creates a relatively awkward situation.

In the face of the steppe cavalry riding the steppe chicken, although they are not afraid of the opponent's bow and arrow strikes, they can't catch up with others, and can only passively endure the enemy's constant harassment.

The second weakness is the pair of meat wings, which grow on the sides of the unicorn's body near the shoulders, and once opened, tend to cause some trouble for the rider.

Phil watched Matthew ride a horse, and it was really hard to imagine how the captain of the imperial capital had fixed his feet and soared in the sky.

The third is the sensitive personality unique to unicorns, which never trust humans easily and are extremely aggressive.

Whether it is taming work or cultivating tacit understanding, it is not an easy thing.

At present, the most mature unicorn knights in the empire are in the Windwind Legion, one of the four major legions of the empire controlled by the Putton family.

Jacques was very friendly, and did not have the legendary bursting temper at all, but enjoyed the gentle touch of the little master, and kept snoring sideways, and his body was closer to the carriage, as if he wanted the little master to touch it more comfortably.

This made Matthew, who had been silently on guard, a little surprised, with his own presence, although Jacques would not bite, he should definitely not be so docile and proactive.

It seems that there is some truth in the name given by the father to his son.
