Lancelot

A divine light shone faintly as the Unicorn stood beside Annie, watching him silently with a look of bewilderment in its eyes.

"Unicorn?" William was somewhat dazed. He had only ever seen this magical creature in videos in his previous life, and all he knew about Unicorn ' Talent and information came from those videos.

Because Unicorn are far rarer than Dragon.

This magical creature is far more valuable than Dragon.

Annie, her bare feet shuffling on the lawn, said to William, "Yes, Lulu seems quite interested in you, which is why she showed herself to meet you!"

"Lulu?" William took off his shoes and was about to walk over when the pure white Unicorn's eyes widened instantly, staring straight at his feet.

"Hey, little brother, what's the meaning of this?" The Prince unconvinced. They were both Elf, and although he had an extra "half" in his name, he didn't have smelly feet.

"What's with that look?" William tried to pat the Unicorn's head, but before he could even reach out, the Unicorn tilted its head and sneezed with a look of disgust on its face.

"..." William gradually fell into deep thought. He had just given the Unicorn a Insight, but it was only a few levels higher than him. To be honest, they were both of Legendary Bloodline. If you're so capable, don't hide, let's fight!

"That's just how Lulu is. She doesn't like anyone other than me touching her, and she won't let anyone see her easily!" Annie smiled. "By the way, it seems only Grandpa Bander has seen her."

William stopped paying attention to the Unicorn and asked instead, "Is she a mare?"

"Brush!"

A blinding white light grazed William's head, the swift attack creating a gust of wind that whipped his long hair around.

William curled his lip in disdain; he knew this attack wouldn't hit him...

Annie calmed the Unicorn down for a moment, then explained helplessly, "Unicorn don't have genders. I just gave it a slightly feminine name. Besides, Lulu isn't a horse."

"Yes, I am not a horse, but a noble Unicorn. How can I be compared to a mortal horse?"

Suddenly.

The horse spoke human language.

Especially since the White Horse horse didn't open its mouth...

For a moment, William was stunned. Fortunately, he was experienced and knew that most special Magical Beast with Legendary Bloodline had this ability.

So he flattered her, saying, "Well, you're not a horse, and I don't think you're related to horses at all, because you don't look alike at all!"

The Unicorn narrowed its eyes, convinced that the Half-Elf before it was lying...

But it can't see through this person's thoughts, which is really annoying!

Moreover, it increasingly doubted that this kind of man could be a simple and kind person, but... its Mind Reading wasn't working anymore.

William was too lazy to explain to it. It wasn't a big deal that the thing ignored him; he just needed to build up his favorability with Annie.

However, when he walked up to Annie, he unexpectedly touched her!

The Unicorn nearly bristled, raising its front paws to charge at William.

Annie stepped between the two, her face grim, and said in a low voice, "Lulu, stop making trouble!"

The Unicorn tilted its head and sneezed several times, glared at William, then rubbed its tail against the spot where it had been touched, feeling disgusted, before disappearing in an instant.

"Tsk tsk, it's just a touch, it won't hurt you." William chuckled. He now thought that touching the Unicorn was better than chatting with Annie.

The previous Insight didn't reveal much information, but this magical creature is born with an exceptionally high Luck Value.

It might just be able to offset Fiu Lesse's threat, or even launch a counterattack.

Of course, these are all uncertain things.

"But it's better to be safe than sorry. There are just too many people in history who died because of setting laws..." William and Annie chatted casually. After all, they had already achieved their goal, and he and the Little Princess couldn't find much in common.

Before long, Annie, holding the newly acquired Mana Crystal, watched William leave, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Or rather...

She was a little confused about William's purpose in coming each time.

"Is it just for a promise made in the past?" Annie murmured to herself. She had only been joking back then. 999 Mana Crystal were of immense value to Dawn City in its current state.

An indescribable feeling welled up from Annie's heart...

The Unicorn, which reappeared, remained silent. It couldn't understand William's intentions either. In short, in its eyes, this Half-Elf was very different from the other Elven Prince.

Night falls.

On the edge of the Blackleaf Forest, three blood-covered figures were running wildly, two of them with terrified expressions and fear in their eyes.

Only one Knight, still radiating Holy Light, pulled his companion along and resolutely continued running forward.

A significant threat seemed to be following them.

In the pitch-black primeval forest, it was impossible to see what was chasing them.

However, after they had already seen the shining Dawn City, the threat behind them grew stronger and stronger.

The Knight, who had never known fear, stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned around and roared, "You all hurry! Run to Dawn City! They won't dare go there, and besides, there's a stronghold of the Temple of Light there. I'll hold them off."

Remember, tell my mother that I, like my father, died in Glory!

"Lancelot... you're insane, you're really insane! You can't stop them!" A Knight stopped and shouted, but he received no response. He clenched his fists nervously, turned around in grief, and continued running.

He knew.

All three of them knew.

Someone has to hold those guys off.

Otherwise, all three of them would die...

The other two Knight were filled with both fear and resentment at their own lack of courage.

They have broken the Knight's Code!

They lacked the courage to face a powerful enemy, they lacked the decisiveness and loyalty, and they lacked the unwavering resolve to die rather than surrender.

They were proud Temple Knight, but after those enemies slaughtered more than a dozen of their comrades...

Their hearts were filled with fear, and all they knew was to run away desperately.

Lancelot did not blame his companions for fleeing at all costs. He knew that even among the Temple Knight Order, many Knight feared death, but they had done enough.

"I, Lancelot of the Temple Knight Order, will fight against darkness with the Glory of Holy Light!"

That moment.

Lancelot took a deep breath, gripped his two-handed greatsword, and charged into the darkness without looking back, unleashing his final burst of light!
