The forest is pitch black at night.
Fang Zheng looked up and could only see a dark shadow in the distance. He couldn't even see the sky. Except for the small fire beside them, everything around them seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
Fang Zheng did not choose to spend the night in the camp, as there were corpses everywhere, which could easily attract wild animals. Moreover, Fang Zheng was also worried that the other party had accomplices, and if they noticed something was wrong and came to search, it would be very dangerous. Therefore, after leaving the camp, Fang Zheng found a cave halfway up the mountain to use as a temporary camp.
It must be said that after following these cultists for a whole day, the two were exhausted. After Fina drank a few sips of water and ate some dry food, she leaned against a rock beside her and fell into a deep sleep. Fang Zheng stayed at the entrance of the cave, admiring the night view outside. However, soon, Fang Zheng saw a hint of blue flying through the air and then landing in front of him.
"Master, we have completed the investigation. Everything is normal around us. There is no danger."
"Thank you, Nymph. You should take a rest too."
Looking at the blue-haired little angel in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled and spoke to her. Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nymph looked at her cautiously, and then sat respectfully on a stone not far from Fang Zheng.
"Would you like something to eat?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and saw a bottle of drink and potato chips appear in his hand. Fang Zheng didn't have any equipment like "space bag" now, but fortunately, the Dimension Master had its own storage space. Of course, this space was not big, at most the amount of a container. In the world of "Edge of Tomorrow", in order to miss modern life, Fang Zheng emptied an entire supermarket, most of which were drinks and snacks, and some daily necessities. Of course, Fang Zheng didn't intend to take these things out in front of outsiders, after all, these things were too different from this world and it was hard to explain. But he was still very generous with his summons.
"Thank you, Master."
Seeing the drinks and potato chips that Fang Zheng brought out, Nymph smiled. She took the food, nodded at Fang Zheng obediently, and then started eating in small bites.
Finally, a normal summon.
Looking at the blue-haired angel in front of him, Fang Zheng was also emotional. He thought that he would only be able to summon things that could not be seen by others in this life. Now it seems that it is just a matter of luck. Of course, strictly speaking, this blue-haired angel is not particularly normal. At least the way he put himself in the position of a slave really made Fang Zheng uncomfortable.
"You must be very tired now. You've worked hard today. Go to sleep after you finish eating. Leave this to me."
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nymph was stunned for a moment, then raised her head in surprise.
"Master, you don't have to do this. I don't need to rest at all..."
"unnecessary?"
"yes."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, Nymph nodded.
"Artificial angels were not given the ability to sleep when they were created, and they don't dream... So don't worry, Master. I'll take care of the night watch. Please rest assured, Master."
“…I see…”
After hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked Nymph's little head.
"Then I'm counting on you, Nymph. If anything happens, wake me up immediately."
"Yes, Master."
A night passed.
The mountains in early winter were extremely cold, but fortunately there were unscientific things like magic and divine arts in this world. Before going to bed, Fina cast a "protection from cold" spell on Fang Zheng and Nymph, so they managed to get through the dark and cold night safely. Unfortunately, this did not mean that their luck would improve. In fact, it started snowing in the mountains before dawn.
The weather was not good, but they still had to move forward.
"When I return to the temple this time, I will definitely find a way to find a mount."
While walking in the snow, Fang Zheng complained helplessly. If he could summon the Zerg now, then Fang Zheng could summon a king worm as a mount, but due to the task restrictions, the next time he summoned the Zerg would be when the Zerg would build their home. Fang Zheng didn't have the courage to start a Zerg swarm in this world, so now he had no better way except to walk on his own two legs.
The one who is probably the most comfortable right now is Nymph. After all, she is an angel and can fly freely.
"If you, Mr. Fang Zheng, can enter the central organization, you might be able to get a Pegasus."
Perhaps to dispel the boredom and loneliness she felt while moving forward, Fina now happily took over the topic.
"After all, in the temple, many people envy those Pegasus Knights."
"Pegasus? This is certainly a good thing. If possible, I would like it too..."
Hearing Fina's answer, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. But what he said was not wrong. After all, Pegasus was the second most romantic thing for men after dragon riders. There were similar things in many games, animations and novels... Of course, riding a dragon was more romantic.
"I think you will be fine, Mr. Fang Zheng. You have such strength, and you can manipulate the holy light freely, and you can also detect the conspiracy of the cultists. If everything goes well, after this battle is over, the temple will definitely reward you with a Pegasus."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng felt a chill on his back.
Girl, the way you planted the flag is so standard.
"Master, do you want a mount?"
At this time, Nymph, who was flying next to Fang Zheng, asked curiously, and Fang Zheng nodded.
"Yeah, this horrible weather... it would be a good idea to have a means of transportation, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll encounter unicorns or anything like that now..."
Hearing this, Fina stretched out her hand to block the snowflakes and then spoke.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, according to legend, unicorns only approach beautiful, kind, and pure girls. I don't think you have a chance..."
"I know, but I don't want to meet that kind of nymphomaniac either."
"Sex...lust...crazy?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's weak answer, Fina couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
"That's right. Look, you said it yourself. Unicorns only approach beautiful, kind, and pure girls. Isn't this a nymphomaniac? They only like women, and they are very picky. They will attack men as soon as they get close. I think even a dragon can't compare to such a lustful animal."
"Well……"
Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, Fina's expression became a little complicated.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, the legend of unicorns is the dream of girls. After hearing what you said... I feel a little disappointed..."
"After all, distance makes beauty... Hmm? Where's Nymph?"
Fang Zheng turned his head and found that the little angel who was not far from him had disappeared without a trace. Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Fina was stunned for a moment and then looked around.
"Oh, really, Miss Nymph is missing! Is she lost?"
"How is that possible? There is only one road here...let me ask."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng tightened the transparent chain in his hand and asked in his heart.
"Nymph? Where are you?"
"Oh, Master, I'm so sorry!"
Immediately afterwards, Fang Zheng heard Nymph's answer.
"I am preparing a mount for you, please wait a moment... OK!"
Mount?
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that just after he said it casually, Nymph would actually help him find a mount?
This little angel is working so hard!
“Knock, knock… knock, knock…”
At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly heard a series of hurried running sounds coming from afar. He immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound with Fina.
As the two of them watched, a huge figure slowly emerged from the wind and snow and came in front of them.
