The forest was pitch-black at night.
Fangzheng lifted his head and could only see shadows in the distance. He couldn't even see the sky. Apart from the small bonfire in their hands, everything around them seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
Fangzheng didn't choose to spend the night in the campsite. There were corpses everywhere, which could easily attract wild beasts. Besides, Fangzheng was also worried that the culprit had accomplices. If they sensed that something was amiss and came to search for them, it would be very dangerous. Therefore, after leaving the campsite, Fangzheng found a cave halfway up the mountain to use as a temporary campsite.
Needless to say, the two of them were exhausted after following the cultists for a day. Fina drank a few mouthfuls of water and ate some dry food before leaning against a rock and falling into a deep sleep. Fangzheng stayed at the entrance of the cave and admired the night view outside. But soon, Fangzheng saw a blue figure flying across the sky and landing in front of him.
"Master, the investigation is complete. Everything is normal. There is no danger."
"Thank you, Nimf. Come and take a rest."
Fangzheng looked at the blue-haired angel in front of him and said to her with a smile. Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Nimf looked at him carefully and sat on a rock not far away from Fangzheng respectfully.
"Do you want something to eat?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng flipped his hand and a bottle of drink and chips appeared in his hand. Fangzheng didn't have any equipment like a 'Dimensional Bag'. Fortunately, Dimensional Mages had their own storage space. Of course, the storage space wasn't that big and was at most the size of a container. In the world of 'Edge of Tomorrow', in order to reminisce about modern life, Fangzheng emptied an entire supermarket. Most of the items were drinks, snacks, and some daily necessities. Of course, Fangzheng didn't intend to take these things out in front of outsiders. After all, these things were too different from this world and difficult to explain. But he was still very generous to his summoned creatures.
"Thank you, master."
Looking at the drink and chips that Fangzheng took out, Nimf also showed a little smile. She took the food, obediently nodded at Fangzheng, and then took small bites.
Finally, he had a normal summon.
Looking at the blue-haired angel before him, Fangzheng sighed inwardly. He thought that he would only be able to summon those things that couldn't be seen by others for the rest of his life. Now, it seemed like it was a matter of luck. Of course, strictly speaking, this blue-haired angel wasn't exactly normal. At the very least, Fangzheng wasn't used to the way she treated him like a slave.
"You must be very tired. You've worked hard today. Go to sleep after eating. Leave this place to me."
"Eh?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Nimf was taken aback for a moment, then she raised her head in astonishment.
"Master, you don't have to do this. I don't need to rest at all …"
"You don't need to?"
"Yeah."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Nimf nodded.
"Artificial Angels aren't given the ability to sleep when they are created, and they can't dream … So don't worry, master. Just leave the night watch to me. Please rest assured, master."
"… I see …"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng didn't know what to say for a while. After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Nimf's little head.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Nimf. If anything happens, wake me up immediately. "
"Yes, master."
The night passed.
It was extremely cold in the mountains in early winter, but fortunately, there were unscientific things like divine arts and magic in this world. Before going to bed, Fina cast a "Cold Protection" on Fangzheng and Nimf, so they got through the dark and cold night safely. Unfortunately, this didn't mean that their luck had improved. In fact, before the sky brightened, it began to snow in the mountains.
The weather wasn't on their side, but they still had to move forward.
"When I return to the Holy Cathedral, I'll find a way to find a mount."
While walking in the snow, Fangzheng complained helplessly. If he could summon Zergs now, Fangzheng could summon a Zerg King as a mount. Unfortunately, he was limited by the mission. The next time he summoned a swarm of Zergs, it would be when the Zergs were building their homes. Fangzheng didn't have the guts to summon a Zerg King in this world, so he had no other choice but to walk on two legs.
The one who was most comfortable now was probably Nimf. After all, an angel could fly and be willful.
"If you can enter the central organization, Mr. Fangzheng, you might be able to get a Pegasus."
Perhaps it was to get rid of the boredom and loneliness along the way. At this moment, Fei Na also smiled and took over the topic.
"After all, many people in the Holy Cathedral are envious of those Pegasus Knights."
"Pegasus? Of course it's a good thing. If possible, I want one too …. "
Hearing Fina's answer, Fangzheng shrugged. But he was right. After all, a Pegasus was a man's romance second only to a Dragon Knight. Many games, animations and novels had similar existences …. Of course, riding a dragon was naturally more romantic.
"I think Mr. Fangzheng will have no problem. You have such strength, can manipulate the Holy Light freely, and can detect the evil cultists' schemes. If everything goes well, after this battle, the Holy Cathedral will definitely reward you with a Pegasus. "
Hearing this, Fangzheng felt a chill down his spine.
Young lady, your flag couldn't be any more perfect.
"Master, do you want a mount?"
Nimf, who was flying beside Fangzheng, asked curiously. Fangzheng nodded.
"Yeah, in this damn weather …. It's not a bad choice to have a means of transportation. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to meet any unicorns now …."
Hearing this, Fina stretched out her hand to block the snowflakes and said.
"Mr. Fangzheng, according to legend, unicorns only approach beautiful, kind, and pure girls. I don't think you have a chance …."
"I know, but I don't want to meet that kind of pervert."
"Lustful … Crazy?"
Hearing Fangzheng's weak answer, Fina's eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
"That's right. You said it yourself. Unicorns only approach beautiful, kind, and pure girls. Isn't that what a pervert is? They only like women, and they're picky. They'll attack any man who approaches them. I think even a dragon can't compare to such a lecherous animal. "
"Uhh …."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Fina's expression became a little complicated.
"Mr. Fangzheng, the legend of unicorns is a girl's dream. After hearing what you said …. I feel a little disillusioned …."
"After all, distance makes the heart grow fonder …. Huh? Where's Nimf? "
Fangzheng turned his head and realized that the little angel, who had been standing not far from him, had disappeared at some point in time. Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, Fei Na was taken aback as she looked around.
"Ah, it's true. Miss Nimf is gone! Did she get lost? "
"How is that possible? There's only one way here …. Let me ask. "
While saying that, Fangzheng held the transparent chain in his hand tightly and asked in his mind.
"Nimf? Where are you? "
"Ah, Master, I'm very sorry!"
Then, Fangzheng heard Nimf's reply.
"I'm preparing a mount for Master. Please wait for a moment …. It's done!"
Mount?
Hearing this, Fangzheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Nimf to really help him find a mount just because he said it casually.
This little angel was really going all out!
"Thump thump …. Thump thump …."
At that moment, Fangzheng suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from afar. He immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the footsteps with Fina.
