A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 46: 5th level mage
After waiting for a while, the colorful flowers showed no sign of opening.
No matter what magic effect is going on inside, it doesn't look like it will end anytime soon.
Hua Mi did not forget today’s main task.
While it’s still early, set out as soon as possible to find the unicorn.
Little Chengzi accompanied him as a guide and translator.
Although I went there for the purpose of negotiation this time.
But Hua Mi still brought the bee swarm, the compound bow, and the Fengshen arrow in the quiver.
Be prepared.
Under the guidance of Xiao Chengzi, we rushed all the way to our destination.
The ice age is approaching, not only insects and birds have disappeared, but also some large beasts have entered hibernation.
The ground was almost covered with fallen leaves and was soft when stepped on, making it difficult to walk on.
Fortunately, in the past two months, Hua Mi has returned to nature, and her physical condition has improved a lot.
In addition, as I became familiar with the terrain, my ability to move in the forest was greatly enhanced, so I didn’t walk too slowly.
Even so, by noon, we had only walked half the distance.
The distance between his Bee Whisperer hut and the ruins of Black Keep where the unicorn lives is too far.
"I probably won't be able to go back tonight... I just hope this trip won't be in vain."
Hua Mi is ready to spend the night outside.
"Let's rest for a while."
Hua Mi asked Little Chengzi to stop, took out the food, and sat on the ground with his back against a big tree, preparing to have lunch.
When I go out, I always bring quick meals, bread, sandwiches and so on.
Of course, honey is essential.
You can soak it in water and drink it, or you can put it on food to make it more delicious.
The high concentration of sugar can quickly replenish physical energy in the wild.
"Where is the ruins of the Black Castle where the unicorn is? Judging from the name, it used to be a castle, but it was later abandoned?"
While eating, Hua Mi chatted with Xiao Chengzi.
"Yes." Little Orange swallowed the honey in his mouth and said, "It turned out to be a vampire's castle. Because the stones in the castle were all dark, it was called the Black Castle."
"What happened next? The vampire was killed by an adventurer?"
"There were indeed many adventurers who came to conquer the vampire, but they all ended in failure. Many adventurers lost their lives, and some unfortunately became vampire spawns... Then one day, the unicorn It appeared, and it defeated the vampire."
"So that's it..."
"However, vampires are evil undead creatures that have been transformed by a curse. It is difficult to completely destroy their bodies using normal methods. The most they can do is seal them. Therefore, the vampire has not actually been eliminated, but has been sealed in Sleeping somewhere in the ruins."
So, the unicorn stayed there to suppress the vampire and prevent it from resurrecting?
Hua Mi kept this information in mind.
Learn more about it in advance, and it may be useful in subsequent negotiations.
Whether it is negotiation or combat, the importance of information cannot be ignored.
Relying only on strength is called recklessness.
Hua Mi was about to ask further, but Little Chengzi suddenly became alert, her two pointed ears twitched, and she looked in a certain direction.
Waiting for Hua Mi to say anything, she hurriedly swallowed the honey ball in front of her, followed the sleeves of her black robe, and quickly got in, all the way to his shoulders. She stood up and whispered in his ear: "Someone is coming."
Hua Mi also instantly became vigilant.
Immediately stood up and went to open the magic box on the side of the open space. He controlled a pain bee and a circumcision bee to fly out and got into the two sleeves of his black robe respectively. They stayed firmly attached inside, ready to wait. hair.
As long as he makes a thought, two bee squads can come out to attack.
Then he put the magic box away again, sat back down, continued eating, and waited for the uninvited guests.
About a minute passed.
Several figures appeared in the direction that Xiao Chengzi pointed just now.
"A total of 5."
Hua Mi quietly observed the visitor with his peripheral vision.
They are all different in height, shortness, fatness and thinness.
And they don't seem to be all human.
They walked straight towards Hua Mi.
The leader should be human.
He has the appearance of an old man, wearing a gray robe, with neatly styled gray hair. His face has wrinkles carved by time, and his eyes give people a very wise feeling.
He held a staff in his hand, with a bead suspended in the hollow at the top, emitting a pale light.
"Good afternoon."
The old man greeted him with a smile. His voice sounded very peaceful, giving people a feeling of sunshine and warmth, and he would unconsciously relax his vigilance.
"Good afternoon."
Hua Mi lowered her voice and replied briefly.
At the same time, I took the opportunity to take a closer look at the other four guys.
Following him on the left is a girl with medium-long hair. She is young and beautiful. She is also wearing a gray robe, which is slightly looser. She also has a staff in her hand, but she is much plainer than the old man. It would not be wrong to say that it is a wooden stick.
On the right is a dwarf who is only one meter tall. His facial features are very scruffy, his body is like a wine barrel, his hair is as messy as a golden lion king, and his dirty beard is **** randomly with a hemp rope, and the end almost hangs down to On the ground, holding a hammer with spikes, he raised his head and stared at Hua Mi. He didn't know what he was thinking. In short, it was not a kind look.
There was also a small human being who looked like a hemp stalk, leaning sideways and standing behind, looking at Hua Mi from the corner of his eye.
The last one... Hua Mi is not sure whether it is human or not, or even whether it is male or female.
The whole body was covered under a gray robe, and the exposed part under the hood was also wrapped in a bandage. It was covered more tightly than Hua Mi, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.
"It's so rude. My mentor, who is a fifth-ring mage, takes the initiative to greet you, but you don't even want to get up." The girl said dissatisfied.
Five Ring Mage!
What does it mean?
Although Hua Mi didn't understand, she still took another look at the old man and pretended to be impressed by him.
The old man seemed to be satisfied with his reaction, and the smile on his face deepened: "It doesn't matter, we are disturbing them. No need to get up, your lunch looks great."
Hua Mi had no intention of getting up at first, but the bee in her sleeve was ready to charge at any time, and said lightly: "Want to eat together?"
After all, I have been in business for several years. When communicating with people, even if I have a knife hidden in my sleeve, I can remain as calm as water on the outside.
"You may not have brought enough food to entertain us."
The old man said something witty, paused, and then continued: "Nowadays, the magic resources in the Black Forest are very poor. After the star rating has been reduced, few adventurers will come here to explore. It is rare to see I saw someone, so I came to say hello. I would like to ask, where is your destination? "
Hua Mi took a sip of water and said calmly: "I appreciate the kindness, but I am used to walking alone."
The girl frowned and wanted to say something else.
But the old man took a look and held it back.
"Then don't bother me, please continue to enjoy your delicious lunch."
With that said, the old man turned around and led them away.
Looking at the direction, at least it's not towards the ruins of Black Castle.
After walking a certain distance, the dwarf would turn around and glare at him from time to time, as if he had some deep grudge against him.
It wasn't until the five figures disappeared deep into the forest that Hua Mi's hanging heart returned to her stomach.
When you are away from home, you cannot open a wormhole at any time, so you should be cautious.
There was an itching sensation on my chest.
Little Chengzi lifted his collar and exposed his head.
"What is a five-ring mage?" he asked.
