Suddenly, Allen's vision turned dark and misty. Then, it became more and more blurry and dark. The spell that Gaia had been chanting was now deafening.
Gaia's warning was right. This feeling was truly unbearable. Allen could not accurately express the various strange feelings, but all of them were uncomfortable. For example, one of them felt like a person riding a roller coaster. They could only helplessly charge forward as if they were about to be smashed into pieces.
Allen could no longer maintain his usual gentle expression. The noise from Gaia's spell, the bumpy fall, and the long period of pain had already disturbed his mind. He thought that this was the limit, but who knew that there was something even worse. The membrane around Allen seemed to have collided with something hard and bounced off, tumbling in the air. After a long time, there was a tearing sound as the membrane protecting Allen broke. Allen felt his head spinning as he was flung out.
Then, a thunderous sound rang in Allen's ears. Caught off guard, Allen felt the world spinning and his head spinning. The merciless hail came crashing down, and Allen was surprised to find himself sitting on a soft patch of grass. Looking around, he found himself on a small patch of grass in a garden, surrounded by clusters of azalea flowers. He noticed that the light purple and purple petals of the azalea flowers were falling under the hailstorm. Gradually, the dancing hail passed through the gray clouds in the sky and fell again, like a cloud of smoke sweeping across the land.
Fortunately, he had the protection of Miaomiao's magus robe, or he would have been drenched by this sudden attack. "How hospitable, to treat a guest like this."
Allen stood up and looked around. Through the misty rain, he saw a huge statue carved from white stone standing behind the azalea flowers. Apart from that, he could not see anything else.
"I'm sorry, Allen. My disappearance must have made my father angry, causing the weather to become like this. Please forgive me, I have to leave first. I'll be back soon. " Gaia was extremely worried. Without waiting for Allen's response, she hurriedly left, disappearing into the rain.
"She left me here just like that!" Allen did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, through Gaia's words, Allen obtained a few pieces of information. First, Gaia's identity might be very unusual. She called her father 'Father'. Second, this was the unicorn settlement. Third, Gaia's father could control the weather of the settlement. The weather situation might be related to Gaia's father's mood..
Not long after, the hail became lighter, and the white statue could be seen more clearly. The statue was extremely tall, and the birch tree in front of it was only a tree. The statue was carved out of white marble. It looked a bit like a sphinx with wings, but its wings were not hanging down on both sides. Instead, they were open, as if it was soaring.
According to Allen's observation, the base of the statue was made of bronze, and it was covered in a thick layer of greenish-bronze rust. The front of the statue happened to be facing Allen. The two empty eyes seemed to be examining Allen, and there was even a faint smile hanging on the corner of its mouth. The statue had been weathered by the wind and rain, revealing a sickly state that made one feel uncomfortable.
Allen stood there and observed for a while. It might have been half a minute or half an hour. The statue changed according to the density of the rain. It seemed to move forward and backward from time to time. Allen shifted his gaze elsewhere. He saw that the rain curtain had parted, and the sky was gradually clearing up. The sun was about to rise.
At this moment, Allen saw the silhouette of another large object. It was a huge building with crisscrossing railings and tall pillars, as well as a hillside covered in dense forest.
Rays of sunlight shone through the rain curtain, sweeping the gray drizzle to the side and gradually disappearing. The sky returned to its azure blue color. A few light brown clouds floated before disappearing without a trace.
The huge building standing beside Allen was clearly visible. After being washed by the rain, it sparkled under the sunlight. Hailstones that had not yet melted piled up along the layers of bricks, making them look even whiter and more dazzling.
Allen fearlessly looked at the unicorn settlement, his curiosity growing. Not far away, there was a house with a round doorway in the high wall. Allen saw Gaia leading the way, followed by silver-white unicorns jumping out. On the heads of the two unicorns behind Gaia, there were golden crowns inlaid with red gems.
"Honorable guest, we have waited for a long time. Please forgive our rudeness. We are very excited that Gaia is able to return to her tribe. "The more majestic unicorn with the crown lowered its head.
Allen hurriedly bowed in return. "It's alright. It is my honor to be able to come to your place."
After a round of greetings, Allen's question gave him an idea of the system's mission. "This is the settlement of the unicorns. Why is there a statue of the Sphinx in the square?"
"This is Earl's curse." The Unicorn King Geithilius' tone was sorrowful.
"It's Earl's curse again!" Allen was shocked and could not help but blurt out.
"You know about Earl's curse?" The Unicorn King Geithilius was very sharp.
Allen explained in detail how he had saved the Enchanter, and the unicorns listened attentively. After hearing this ridiculous story, Geithilius did not scold him for being ridiculous. Instead, he was very excited. "So, the magic ball of Goddess of Luck Fowles is in your hands?"
"Yes, please forgive my presumptuousness. Is your tribe also cursed by Earl?"
"This matter started a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago, the unicorn tribe was a creature with extremely strong magic power. We lived a very comfortable life. We ate all kinds of leaves and grass that grew in the forest. At that time, not only did we have horns with strong magic power, we also had very strong and huge wings. Thus, not only could we run freely on land, we could also fly in the sky. No animal could catch up with us, not even wizards. However, all this beauty was destroyed by a bet between the Goddess of Misfortune and the Goddess of Luck. Since then, we have become a cursed tribe.
"Another bet?" Allen was very confused.
"According to the information left behind by our ancestors, it was spring when all kinds of flowers were in full bloom. The water and grass were abundant, and the sky was vast. The Goddess of Misfortune, Eris, and the Goddess of Luck, Fowles, traveled here and saw that the unicorn tribe was living a very leisurely life. Thus, the two goddesses made a bet. The Goddess of Misfortune believed that we would choose the most beautiful flowers to eat, while the Goddess of Luck believed that we would not do that. Instead, we would be careful to avoid eating the beautiful flowers in full bloom. "
"What was the result?" This was the first time Gaia had heard of such a thing. She was even more anxious than Allen.
"Firstly, our ancestors were not willing to destroy beautiful things. Secondly, the flowers would soon grow berries, and we unicorns especially liked to eat all kinds of berries like wild strawberries, crabapple, and cherry. Thus, our ancestors did not eat the most beautiful flowers. The Goddess of Misfortune lost. "
When Geithilius talked about the past thousand years, there was an indescribable sadness in his words.
