Chapter 4191 Shad and the Unicorns
What does it taste like?
Shad asked curiously, and Ellie answered little Leona's question:
"He hasn't transformed yet."
Shad then understood that little Leona probably knew he was also a unicorn and thought his scent would change because of it. But whether unicorn or human, he was still an outsider, so his scent wouldn't change.
Little Leona looked at Shad with expectant eyes again, clearly wanting to see what he was doing, but Emilia tapped each of the two little unicorns on the head:
What are you going to do?
The pointy-eared elf looked at them suspiciously:
"Don't have bad ideas."
The unicorn girls immediately shook their heads in denial, then ran off to whisper amongst themselves. Emilia wanted to eavesdrop, but Daniste called her away to discuss the preparation of the ritual materials. As a result, she missed the scene of a large group of unicorn girls running to the great unicorns to offer their suggestions.
Before long, the great unicorns also reached a conclusion on whether Shad could use the island in the middle of the lake. They all agreed to use the island to hold the ceremony and sign the contract. However, in order to maintain the peace of the island, they hoped that not too many people would participate in the ceremony.
"Ang~"
The unicorn continued to call out, with Emilia acting as its translator:
"The unicorns have one more request."
The pointy-eared elf instinctively spoke what it heard, only realizing afterward what it had translated:
"Everyone wants to see the Moon Child in its unicorn form. Everyone welcomes the appearance of the new unicorn, right?"
The young elf queen's emerald green eyes swept sharply towards Ellie and little Leona, but the group of humanoid unicorns had already gathered together, and these curious and innocent girls were full of anticipation.
Daniste didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She looked at Shad, indicating that he should decide for himself. Shad also assumed that the academy's unicorns were simply curious about his unicorn form.
"No problem, it's very simple."
The soft, silvery moonlight enveloped his body, and although the sun was shining brightly overhead, the moonlight was not obscured.
The outline of Shad's body changed in the light, and when the moonlight disappeared, what was standing there was no longer a human, but a unicorn much smaller than the adult unicorns present.
Its silver horn makes it look even more mysterious, but its strong limbs and body also show that even though it looks like a juvenile unicorn, its fighting ability has not been compromised.
"Oh!"
Little Leona cheered and surrounded the other unicorn girls, even pushing Emilia and Danist aside.
"Ang~"
The adult unicorn continued speaking, and Emilia, looking displeased, continued translating:
"Everyone says that the Moon Child is welcome to visit here anytime. Shad has been accepted by all the unicorns here. If he needs any help in the future, he can come here for assistance at any time."
Then the pointy-eared elf went to pull the girls surrounding "Unicorn Shad":
"You need to be more reserved. What are you doing? You are unicorns too. What's the difference between this unicorn and you?"
"Younger than us!"
"Prettier than us!"
"They are of a different gender than us!"
"It smells good! It's shiny!"
"Honestly, you're all turning into Mia! Get out of here. Ellie, take them to school. If you keep this up, I'm going to get angry."
"Emilia, you're here too!"
The little unicorns, along with Emilia, gathered around Unicorn Shad. Shad didn't object to these lovely girls surrounding him; being with these unicorns brought him a peace he hadn't felt before.
The unicorn girls really wanted to play with Shad. Before Daniste could even discuss the "venue rental" plan for tomorrow with the other unicorns, the unicorn girls somehow brought out a huge pile of fresh wild fruit and placed it in front of Shad. Emilia even saw Ellie contribute an apple.
Even after Shad sensed something was amiss and transformed back into human form, the adorable unicorn girls continued to pet him. Finally, Emilia, genuinely a little angry, chased them away. But the unicorn girls weren't angry. They gathered nearby, laughing and chatting amongst themselves. Emilia wanted to scold the culprits, but when she looked at Ellie, Ellie was enjoying a red apple. Seeing the pointy-eared sprite looking at her, Ellie forcefully broke the apple in half and shared half with Emilia.
When Emilia, holding half an apple, looked at little Leona, the unicorn girl kneeling on the grass stared intently at the half apple, so Emilia gave her the apple.
So the two little unicorns happily ate their apples, while Her Majesty the Elf Queen could only sigh helplessly in the soft sunlight. Shad could hear the weariness in her voice.
"They mean no harm, you don't need to worry so much."
"It's precisely because they meant no harm that I'm troubled."
Emilia muttered to herself, glanced at Daniste communicating with the unicorn pack with the help of another unicorn girl, and then suddenly tiptoed and kissed Shad on the cheek:
"You must come to me for the next adventure. I felt neglected this time because you sent Ellie to help."
Actually, no, she just wanted to find an excuse to participate in the next adventure.
"understood."
Shad smiled and took her hand. Emilia blushed slightly, but of course she didn't pull away.
"Speaking of which, I saw Miss Wilde again in the Fifth Age, no, Elfina. She asked me to give my regards to you and Iluna."
"Oh, I miss her too. She was so kind to me when we were at the witch academy. You just called her by her name?"
Shad did not stay at the academy for the entire morning. Around ten o'clock, he bid farewell to Daniste and Emilia, who were preparing to collect materials for the ceremony, and returned home with a bag of fruit.
"Mia, would you like some fruit?"
"Meow~"
The cat, who was catching up on its sleep, didn't seem very interested in the fruit, so Shad didn't bother it and went straight to Arcadia City.
"In the past, my transformation form was just a transformation, but now my transformation form is my original form. That is to say, the hair I cut off when I was a unicorn should still be unicorn hair after I turn back into a human."
"In that case, I could produce a lot of valuable materials myself."
As he walked out of the basement of the Blue Ink Library, he thought to himself, "She" actually agreed with Shad's idea:
[That's right. So, should I give each of the girls around me a unicorn hair ribbon?]
"No, no, I don't want to go bald yet."
After leaving the basement, Xia De first passed through the library's office area. Now that Wei Ge had arranged for capable followers to manage the library, everyone knew Xia De and nodded slightly to him in greeting.
The Blue Ink Library has started its trial operation today. Although it's Sunday, the library will remain open on Sundays. Because it has just reopened, there aren't many readers on the first floor yet.
The girls in the library had already prepared a carriage for Shad, but just as Shad was about to walk towards the gate, someone called out to him:
"Mr. Watson."
She was a girl wearing the uniform of a higher education institution in the upper city, and she looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. Shad had never seen her before; she was a fourth-circle warlock and clearly knew Shad's identity.
"This is something from the lady of Moon Bay."
She handed the small briefcase that was at her feet to Shad. Shad thought to himself that the Blue Ink Library actually allowed such a large suitcase inside, but he said aloud:
"You are."
The girl smiled and reached into her collar, pulling out a silver mermaid pendant adorned with pink gemstones.
Xia De understood, but instead of opening the briefcase on the spot, he asked:
"If I want to ask you for help, will you agree?"
"Of course, the lady said that even if you wanted to pack us up together in bed or send us to church together, we would obey your will."
The young woman said that Shad's expression didn't change:
"In the great battle yesterday morning, I killed a man with demonic powers, but I didn't get a good look at what he looked like. Investigate the local nobles for any unexplained disappearances. Of course, it's only highly likely that he was a noble, so you can broaden your investigation a bit."
"A demon, is it?"
The girl nodded gently:
"We will follow your instructions and contact you as soon as we have any leads."
The Withering Demon is now confirmed to be local. Although Vigo's followers are also investigating, Shad wouldn't mind using the power of the followers of Desire if they could help.
"Speaking of which, I still need to see the doctor separately. Let's do it tonight."
He carried his suitcase, pushed open the library door, walked out, squinted at the warm sunlight, and then boarded the slowly approaching carriage.
Instead of heading immediately to Fragrant Mansion, Shad had a carriage take him to Grayrock Pass Fortress. He wanted to find Mr. Bernhardt to gather intelligence. He again chose to use the underground passage of the herbalist shop in Grayrock Pass Fortress to reach the vampires' secret hideout. Although it was Sunday, the vampires were not idle.
The outpost inside the cave was already set up quite nicely. When Shad arrived, most of the vampires were praying in the cave's prayer area, facing the huge holy emblem smeared in blood on the wall. Beneath that smooth wall were candles lit by golden candlesticks, and incense burners, holy scriptures, and offerings such as wine, creating a very religious atmosphere.
