Although compared to the ancient Grandpa Tree and the mysterious Mr. Bear, the unicorns were the weakest of the three. It was no wonder that they were bullied the most. They could not speak the human language, and they were not as human-like as Mr. Bear. They could only be considered as divine beasts for the time being.
Although the unicorn didn't seem very happy to be able to reunite with its playmate of the same age, the look of relief and joy in its eyes showed that it was actually quite happy in its heart. It was just that it didn't conform to the cold, elegant, and holy public image that its tribe had established for generations, so it didn't show it on its face.
After cuddling with the unicorn, the unicorn took the initiative to bring Baiyi and the Fairy Walker to see its children. Back then, it was just a foal that was bullied by the Fairy Walker. Now, it was a mother — no, a mare — and it proudly brought the foals to the Fairy Walker.
The little unicorns were snow-white, and they did not have any purple or blue coloring. Their eyes were big and bright, but they did not look like they belonged to the 2D world, and they did not have the strange notion that friendship was magic.
"Looking at them reminds me of you …" The Fairy Walker walked up to the foals and gently reached out to play with them. The foals had been in contact with the Fairy Walker for a long time, so they were able to recognize the Fairy Walker's aura. They did not suspect the Fairy Walker's strange appearance, and they allowed her to play with them. They even put on a coquettish expression, which made them look very cute.
Baiyi wanted to give it a try, but he hesitated when he thought of the leopard cub's rejection. Perhaps it was because the foals were more clingy than the leopard cub, but they did not reject Baiyi's approach. In fact, they even approached him and sniffed his scent curiously. It was a very friendly and intimate gesture.
'Foals are much friendlier than kittens,' Baiyi thought to himself.
Compared to the wisdom and profundity of the previous two beings, the one-horned mythological beast didn't chat much with them, perhaps because it was still very young. It wasn't convenient for them to communicate, so when the sky gradually darkened, the two of them bade farewell to the group of unicorns and returned to the Elven Village.
At this time, the village was preparing for the banquet. Slender and beautiful elves were like butterflies fluttering among the trees, nimbly and elegantly passing through the treehouses, taking out the best things in the village to entertain the guests who had come from afar.
Mia and the other students did not just sit and do nothing. Instead, they brought along the little leopard cub, who could not even walk properly, and used their magic to help her carry the cauldron. The cauldron was so heavy that it took three to five people to lift it, and it was placed in the small square in the middle of the village. Tisdale, who was standing next to Baiyi, snapped her fingers, and the pile of firewood under the cauldron burst into flames.
These ordinary little tricks won the cheers of the elves. Of course, this was definitely out of courtesy. No matter how traditional the elves were, they were not to the extent that they had never seen magic before. It was just that they did not understand the specific levels of magic. Perhaps they felt that it was already very good to be able to do this.
Only the kitsune, who was helping the fairies carry the ingredients, did not look happy. Tonight's menu was still the same as the fairies', and the kitsune's face almost turned green.
The whole village was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. It was as lively as a festival … No, no, no, no. It was more like a celebration … Baiyi shook his head, trying to get rid of the unlucky thoughts in his mind.
When the sky darkened, the banquet began. The food consisted mainly of fruits, boiled mushrooms, and roasted stems. The girls were fine with the food, but the kitsune, who was recognized as a guest, could not eat the meat of the sabertooth leopard. It could only look at the leopard cubs, who were gnawing on raw meat, with an envious gaze. It could not bring itself to snatch the meat from them.
After the light banquet, there was a campfire dance with a certain primitive style. It was very similar to the dances of the indigenous tribes on Earth, but the movements were more relaxed and elegant. The dancers were also more beautiful, and it was very pleasing to the eyes. The girls were having a great time, and their pretty faces were smiling like flowers. Their clear laughter was even reverberating throughout the area.
At that moment, the Fairy Walker interrupted Baiyi's enjoyment and suggested, "Honey, let's go dance as well."
'Don't you know how old you are?' Baiyi thought to himself. Then, he said, "Go have fun. I still have a lot of questions to think about."
The Fairy Walker was a little disappointed. She did not join in the fun. Instead, she obediently sat down beside Baiyi and leaned on him. Together, the two of them watched the bonfire and the dancing crowd.
Baiyi should have done something or said something during such a warm and romantic moment, but his mind was actually thinking about all kinds of questions. But it couldn't be helped. Although he wandered around the area for a while today, the number of inquiries he received was many times more than usual.
Be it the Caudillo Butterfly's whereabouts, his own plans, the Wise Mad King's next move, Mr. Bear's display of power, the uneasy feeling he had sensed, and even the tingling sensation he had felt earlier … If he were to consider the fact that this was the Godsfall cult's headquarters, he would not be able to let go of all these questions, and he would not be able to have fun anymore.
Just as Baiyi was deep in thought and discussing with the Voidwalkers, he suddenly felt something soft rubbing against his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a cub leopard that had despised him earlier. The little furball had probably just eaten its fill, so it wanted a hug. Baiyi had no idea why it had come to Baiyi's side.
Baiyi looked down at the cub. The little furball was trying its best to raise its head, which was disproportionate to its body size. It was reaching out its short paws, as if it was begging for a hug. It seemed to be very close to Baiyi. This made him suddenly think of something, so he reached out and scooped it into his bosom. Meanwhile, this furball actually intimately rubbed against his chest, licked it, and curiously reached out its claws to touch his sturdy armor again and again.
"Huh? It's not afraid of you? "The Fairy Walker, who had noticed the scene, exclaimed in surprise.
"Maybe it's a genetic mutation or has completed its evolution?" Baiyi asked. He reached out to play with the little furball's fangs, which had not yet grown out. The animal playfully bit his finger.
"How is that possible? I've been wondering why the ponies are not afraid of you. " The elf became even more curious and said, "If it's a big unicorn divine beast, there's no need to talk about it. However, a foal is born to be very worried and it's very gentle. Usually, if you approach it with a little energy wave, it will run far away … Also, at the beginning, my childhood friend approached you without any precaution, right? That's not how unicorns do things. They would never let a stranger approach them that easily … "
"I thought it smelled your scent," Baiyi said awkwardly.
The Fairy Walker shook her head and continued, "Not to mention the little leopards. Their mothers spoil them more than most beasts. Plus, they have been living with fairies for a long time, so they are naturally very close to women. Men are usually not allowed to touch them, let alone tease them like you did." She raised her head and looked at Baiyi solemnly. "Something must have happened to you. When I was teaching those two thieving cats a lesson, did something happen to you?"
Baiyi quickly told her about the Eighth Walker's brief descent. The Fairy Walker listened attentively, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked, "Do you know where the Eighth Walker came from?"
Baiyi shook his head. Although he had exchanged memories with the Eighth Walker, what could he learn from a tree's memories? Baiyi's perspective and consciousness were completely different from what he had seen before, so he had quickly deleted the memories. Naturally, he did not know much about the Eighth Walker. Furthermore, the Eighth Walker did not communicate with anyone, so the only thing he knew was that the Eighth Walker was a tree. Maybe it was powerful?
"I've heard stories from Mr. Bear. He said that the Eternal Tree Ocean was not as vast as it is today. It was just a small forest, and it was lonely and desolate. However, in the heart of the forest, there grew a divine tree. It was called the Tree of Eternity by later generations. It was like a mother who cared for nature, allowing the trees to grow strong and strong. Many creatures lived and multiplied here, including us fairies."
"In some of our ancient myths, there are records of this tree. It is believed that it is the mother of the world, and that all living creatures were born from it. The fairies were born from its fruits, and the fairies were even more magnificent than what Mr. Bear had described."
"Many people have tried to find it but to no avail. So, the legend is just a legend. In the minds of many people, it only exists in myths," the Fairy Walker recounted the story she had heard when she was young and waited for Baiyi's reply. "
"You don't think that the Eighth Walker is the legendary Tree of Eternity, do you?" Baiyi studied the dancing fairies. "I don't think you share the same genes. After all, there's nothing else that can prove that the Eighth Walker is the Tree of Eternity, right? Maybe it's just a magical creature like Mr. Bear? "
"You don't think that Mr. Bear is a simple being, do you?" the Fairy Walker asked, annoyed.
