Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1371 1343. The sharp horn of the unicorn

With Qilin's speed, it took less than three hours from the time Lan En used his magic ring to summon it, and it came from the coastline of Gos Velen.

He rushed along the sparsely populated zigzag path to the edge of Lake Vizima, then slowed down appropriately and got out of the [Flash of Lightning] state.

At least he didn't let the wind pressure caused by Gu Long's strong body and extraordinary speed cause wind and waves to rise out of thin air on Lake Vizima.

When Qilin stepped on the calm and clear lake water and came to the Dagon Temple on Black Tern Island, Lan En was surprised to find that during the few months he had been in the world of Yharnam, this [phantom beast] had already happened Not a small change.

The unicorn comes treading water, and its naturally strong frame supports the innate elegance of this race.

Like the king among horses, Qilin is like an ethereal and noble being patrolling the territory even if it is just walking slowly.

Its skin with fine small scales is still light blue and white, with dark blue thunder patterns.

Pale mane is on the back of its neck, chest, and the joints of its four legs. Even if there is no wind, it is still flying in the air like leaping flames.

That's the electrostatic effect on Qilin's body.

None of this surprises Lan En. After all, the ancient dragon of the New World is a powerful creature that stands at the top of the biological chain. It is natural that it has the bearing and majesty of a king.

Maria and Adeline almost unconsciously held their breath as Qilin walked slowly across the water.

Because Qilin, known as the [Fantasy Beast], has a natural and good temperament and body shape.

The hunters of Yharnam are skilled in hunting wild beasts.

But even in the eyes of Maria, a hunter from Yharnam, Kirin is by no means the same thing as the 'beast' in their conventional context!

So on the one hand, when Maria looked at the powerful Kirin, whose body was emitting electric sparks from time to time, and whose muscles and bones were visible to the naked eye, she subconsciously felt a little wary.

On the other hand, she saw Lan En's very relaxed and friendly appearance, and unconsciously appreciated the natural and wild beauty of the New World ancient dragon.

But on the other side.

"Let me tell you." Faced with Qilin, who was walking slowly with a full temperament, Lan En suddenly said seriously, "Did you find something to eat at random?"

"Xilulu?!"

Subconsciously, just like the behavior of a dog after feeling guilty.

Qilin, who was full of temperament just now, suddenly lowered its two front hooves, and its upper body was also lowered extremely low, while its red crystal-like eyes glanced left and right.

But Gu Long is Gu Long after all. After Qilin subconsciously made this action, he seemed to react immediately.

He stood up again as quickly as he could bring out the afterimage, and at the same time, the big cat-like face turned to the side, avoiding Lan En's gaze.

Try to act like ‘nothing happened’.

The demon hunter narrowed his eyes and walked over to forcefully straighten Qilin's head, which was deliberately not looking at him.

The amber cat eyes suddenly deepened, and this look made Qilin tremble unconsciously, as if he was being seen through by something.

But immediately, Lan En's eyes returned to normal, and his expression became indifferent.

"It seems to be normal growth. Fortunately, you didn't go into the sea and eat anything. The water in the sea is quite deep."

The last half of the sentence sounded like nonsense, but it was actually a pun, and Lan En believed that with Qilin's IQ, he could understand it.

Although in this magical medieval world, there are even large ocean-going merchant ships from several other continents docked at the docks of Novigrad, conducting trade with the whole world.

However, human exploration of the ocean is still small and one-sided.

Only a few stable routes have been established with the help of sorcerers, and attempts to open new ones often come with heavy losses.

Even the monster hunters who have accumulated hundreds of years of knowledge about the creatures in the ocean only have a few words about them.

Lan En also heard from Geralt and Dandelion that they had encountered a marine civilization similar to fishmen just not far from the coastline in offshore areas like Hydaris.

Who knows, in this world, in the vast depths of the ocean, there may be more civilized activities there than on the ground.

There is a high possibility that Qilin ran into the deep sea and ate some magic item from the deep sea civilization. Lan En felt like his head was getting big just thinking about it.

But now it seems that Qilin was indeed careful not to mess with the things in the deep sea, or maybe it was too timid to mess with them.

Anyway, now it seems that the difference in Qilin should be the traces of the outrageous natural growth of New World creatures.

The current Qilin is generally the same as before Lan En went to Yanan again.

Only on its shoulders and on the outside of the joints of its limbs.

Roots of high-energy crystal-like tissue similar to the horns on the head of a unicorn grew out from under the skin.

The crystals on the outside of the joints of the limbs seem to be to consider the mobility of the joints, so there is only one that is not too long.

But on the Qilin's shoulders, there are four high-energy crystals on each side that are only slightly shorter than the Qilin's horns on its head. They are arranged in a ring from its shoulders with obvious muscle outlines and grow out along the shoulder blades.

It's as if a deterrent horn has been installed on its shoulders.

Hot electric arcs will explode from the tops of these sharp corners when Qilin breathes. Sometimes, the electric sparks will connect and flash in the form of arc flashes at the tops of several adjacent sharp corners.

So now, in addition to the ethereal and noble temperament of Qilin, which is like a racial trait, these aggressive gray horns make it look a little more intimidating.

It was obviously different from the normal Qilin. If placed in the research classification of the New World Survey Group, 80% of them would be ranked as "Two Rank".

‘I didn’t eat anything else anyway! ’

Under the light of the variant [Yaxi Sigil] flashing on Lan En's fingertips, Qilin's hooves bounced, and he subconsciously stiffened his mouth before explaining.

‘I was itchy for several days, and then these horns grew out. ’

‘I don’t know why, but it’s very useful. ’

It raised its hoof, and the sharp angle of the high-energy lens on the outside of the front hoof joint was so sharp that it made people feel chilly. Not even the golden lion's muscles dared to confront the Qilin Cangjiao head-on.

But this ancient dragon just bent his knees and raised his legs, and scratched his chin with the right sharp point.

‘Look, I can scratch my chin now! ’

‘By the way, it’s much easier for me to control lightning now. ’

The corner of the witcher's mouth twitched. The 'by the way' thing in your mouth is the most important thing in comparison, right?

But looking at Qilin, who looked comfortable and was scratching his chin with the sharp corners of his knees, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

With a "pop" sound, Lan En's palm hit his forehead and he sighed.

Immediately, the thick hooded cloak was waved behind him.

Lan En grabbed the sharp corners on Qilin's shoulders and sat on its back.

"Remember not to discharge the electricity!" After riding the Qilin, Lan En twisted his body to readjust, then patted it and warned, "Didn't you let the flannel ball help you put on the magic harness before you came to pick me up? ? My **** is a little numb now."

Qilin didn't feel anything after being slapped by Lan En with a force that could kill someone, but it still made the already small current flowing on the body surface a little smaller.

".Whoops!"

'I came in such a hurry that I forgot.'

Only for Qilin, Lan En completely believed it's statement of 'I forgot', and could only sigh and accept it calmly.

Lan En stretched out his hand from under the cloak that covered this cold and strong armor, reaching towards Maria and Adeline.

"We, we want to sit here?"

The Blood Saint looked a little cautious and a little excited as she took hold of Lan En's outstretched palm.

"Qilin has a good temper, don't worry."

Lan En explained with a smile to her.

Qilin tilted his head speechlessly and flicked his beautiful pale fluffy tail.

Qilin's size also seemed to have grown. Even if Lan En sat on it, there was still room on its back. The two Yanan ladies are about the same size as normal people, which is enough.

Maria didn't need Lan En's help.

The capable and handsome female hunter just held Qilin's back and climbed onto the horse with a slight jump.

In order to prevent Adeline from falling due to discomfort, Lan En placed her in the front for easy care, while the chic and elegant huntress sat sideways behind Lan En with her legs together.

Cainhurst's Nobles of Blood is indeed an aristocratic education. For the sake of elegant deportment, female nobles do have this posture when riding horses.

Wear a hood to cover your face and hair.

Like a hunter from Yharnam, Lann pinched the brim of his hood and bowed slightly to say goodbye to the Lady of the Lake.

The lady sat on the throne of waves and raised her hand to him without noticing.

Their days are still long, which is one of the reasons why the lady in the lake always has fun in front of Lan En but is not impatient.

Qilin's horse's hooves with white mane moved slightly, and then started running directly on the lake.

As if to make it easier for Qilin to run, at noon in early autumn, a layer of thick fog suddenly appeared on the lake, covering the form of this beautiful creature.

The witcher did not go to the village tavern in Dark Water for a drink after coming out of the rift between the heavenly spheres, as before.

By the way, let's chat with the spy chief Taller, who seems to have used this village as his office.

After all, forget it if it was before, but now there are two people from another world around him, so it's quite troublesome that he can't explain clearly.

Just go straight to Goth Velen.

I have to say that Lan En was a little uncomfortable because he didn't have a regular drink after coming back.

When manned, Kirin cannot exert its full speed.

Therefore, when it was dark, Lan En and the others finally crossed the entire Velen and heard the sound of the waves of the ocean in the west.
