Chapter 161: Freya's Mount

  Frey lightly sang in the language of the spirits, her tone was beautiful and her demeanor was calm. In the morning light, I saw tiny spots of light dancing gently around Frey's side. Gradually, those spots turned into extremely tender green, and the ground where the spots passed by miraculously grew lush and tender green grass, with purple flowers blooming among the grass like stars.

  The green under Freya's feet gradually expanded, and before she knew it, everything within a 10-meter radius around her had turned green. The large patch of green stopped expanding at the 10-meter mark, and the dense grass swayed gently in the breeze. Xiluo let out a soft sigh: "It's truly beautiful. Now I understand why they say that the Elf tribe is the most beautiful race - not only are their people handsome, but their magic is also so lovely."

  Frey's spirit language was as melodious as a song, and her voice had a magical power that attracted many small animals on the grassland. Unconsciously, many small animals gathered around her within a radius of ten meters, including birds, rabbits, antelopes, and groundhogs... These small animals quietly congregated there, gazing at Frey silently, yet none of them entered the circle of green to disturb Frey's magic.

  Frey's magic changed at this moment, and a green light spot flew out from the tip of each small green grass under her feet. These green light spots danced in the air around those green light stains, like a small firefly. Then, these green light spots gradually gathered around the light stains as the center, we clearly saw that the green light gradually formed a magic array of about ten meters, the magic array consisted of a circular ring and several complex triangles, and the circular ring and triangles were composed of ancient texts of the elf tribe, which I didn't recognize even though I had studied the elven script, I guessed it was probably an ancient text of the elven tribe.

  After the magic circle took shape, I clearly felt that the green energy in this magic circle flowed slowly along these shapes, and the green light became more dazzling due to the flow of energy. The flow of energy gradually accelerated, and the green light also became stronger and stronger, until it was almost blinding.

  Just as we were all about to go blind, the light suddenly turned into tiny green lights and scattered. When the light completely disappeared, the green under Frey's feet also disappeared with the light, and the empty space was still unchanged from before, the only difference being: there, we saw a snow-white unicorn standing quietly, affectionately stretching out its tongue to lick Frey's hand.

  "What is this horned horse?" Meng Chui asked with wide eyes.

  "This thing is called a unicorn, it's a divine beast that grows in the Elf Forest. It's said that unicorns are intelligent and very gentle, they're the exclusive mounts of the Elf tribe. Unicorns only get close to the Elf tribe, other tribes can't get near them. Even if you manage to catch one, it will never surrender. If you imprison it, a unicorn that loses its freedom will die quickly. But don't underestimate unicorns, their speed is extremely fast and the horn on their head has a blinding effect. When they get angry, the horn will emit a ray of light that can make people who are hit by it lose their sight forever. So never try to approach one within a meter without its permission." Evan explained beside him.

  Frey had already turned over and sat on the back of this unicorn, looking at the barbarian hammer and saying: "I'm ready, can we start?"

  "Hmph, these Spirit Tribe people are always so fond of showing off. Even summoning a mount is done in such an extravagant manner. Does it really matter how fast you can run if you're just going to waste time with all this fuss?"

  Although he said so, Man Chui still flipped over his own mount, and the look on his face was no longer the same as before, it was clear that the appearance of the unicorn had made Man Chui lose his grip on victory.

  I saw the barbarian looking somewhat dejected, and I couldn't help but feel a little amused. I shook my head and began to chant an incantation in the language of the undead, summoning a dark mist from a purple magical array that spread out across the ground. The black fog quickly grew so thick that nothing was visible, and when it cleared, my "Purple Flame" had been summoned from the world of the dead. The Purple Flame's entrance was also quite shocking, and with the undead skull warhorse surrounded by a faint purple mist, its four hooves trampling purple flames, and wearing the unique armor of an undead steed, its appearance was no less impressive than that of Freya's unicorn.

  He looked even more unpleasant when he saw "Purple Flame", and his expression seemed somewhat disheartened. He, who had thought he was sure to win, became increasingly uncertain.

  We lined up on the grassland, waiting for Evan to give the order. Evan smiled and looked at us, saying: "Are you all ready? I'm going to give the order!" He waited for a while, seeing that none of us spoke, he raised his right hand and shouted: "Ready, I'll count one, two, three, and everyone will start running!"

  Evan winked at me and then loudly shouted "One, two, three!" The rest of us immediately rushed out, leaving only Man Chui stunned. When he realized we had run far away, he hastily rode his goat to catch up, shouting along the way: "This isn't fair! Why did you finish counting so quickly? Evan, you're cheating!"

  Those who ran ahead of us heard his shout and burst out laughing, the laughter made the barbarian behind feel even more furious, he cursed angrily at Evan, then chased after us with all his might.

  Ivan took the lead and ran at the front, while I and Freya fell behind him by half a horse's length. Behind us were Xiluo and Dakuru closely following, with only Man Chui far behind.

  We galloped freely on the vast grassland, feeling exceptionally exhilarated. The Fleur by my side seemed to be enjoying this rare joy as well, effortlessly keeping pace with me without any intention of surpassing Aiven. I saw her eyes filled with delight, as if all her worries had vanished at that moment.

  Like this, they galloped for half a day. Suddenly, Evan slowed down his horse and raised one hand, signaling us to stop. I saw Evan's gesture and curiously urged Purple Flame to speed up and stop alongside him, asking: "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?"

  Evan's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said softly: "The Vatican's cavalry, twenty Temple Knights, ten high-ranking pastors, three red-robed cardinals, it seems that their direction is the same as ours. Did the Vatican also receive news and want to seize the divine artifact?"

  As we spoke, the people behind us had already rushed over, and even Meng Chui rode his mountain goat to catch up. I looked far into the distance and saw a team of cavalry lined up in a column advancing in the same direction as us.

  Evan sneered and said, "Let's go take a look. What do these Vatican guys want to do?" After finishing speaking, he rode his horse forward, charging towards the group of people and horses.
