Chapter 75: Unfinished Horse and Human Bond
Chapter 75: Unfinished Horse and Human Bond
After the private chat, Su Yu spent 500 Psychic Coins to teleport to Olran City.
Buzz—
The teleportation magic array erupted with a deafening roar. Bathed in blinding white light, Su Yu's figure vanished within the massive magic array.
Long-distance teleportation usually comes with some negative effects. For instance, Su Yu now felt dizzy, nauseous, and unsteady on his feet. However, Su Yu was well-prepared. After drinking a Phase Shift Elixir purchased from a mage, his dizziness was reduced by a significant amount.
Right at that moment, a system notification arrived on time:
Ding! Congratulations on successfully initiating the main quest [Saint of Olran City 1/100].
Quest requirements: Head to Pinefruit Street No. 213 to meet Tina.
Reward: 200 experience points.
"The Saint of Olran City!" Su Yu looked at the city of Olran before him, a slight sigh escaping his lips.
The first data segment had four main quests. Tina and the princess each had one, and the rebels had two. To his surprise, he had completed the two main quests of the victorious side, while the rebels' quests remained uncertain, waiting for some lucky player to discover them.
"Let's go, Tima, to see your master."
Su Yu patted Tima's neck, and the horse began to walk along the street toward the city center.
Main quests were generally more challenging, while side quests and hidden tasks were relatively simpler. Therefore, Su Yu decided to complete the side quest [Unfinished Horse and Human Bond] first before focusing on the main quest.
Olran City, a major city in the southwest of the empire, had a population of 300,000 to 400,000. Far from the war and conflict, the streets were filled with joy and laughter, the faces of the people beaming with happiness.
At the Warrior's Guild, Su Yu found the guild leader, the beautiful Quin.
At the guild entrance, Quin looked at Tima with a headache. "Adventurer, your guess was correct. Tina did indeed leave the horse in the village to become a unicorn knight."
"Tina is very attached to this horse; they share a deep bond. But there's no way around it. With the pride of unicorns, a knight is absolutely not allowed to have more than one mount."
Tima, as if understanding human speech, lowered her head to the ground, looking dejected.
Su Yu shrugged. "What can we do? Now this mare is not eating or drinking, and she's getting thinner day by day. If she falls ill and dies, won't Tina be even more heartbroken?"
Tima, hearing Su Yu's words, acted out a weak and feeble performance, swaying as if she might collapse at any moment.
"Then how about this: I'll call Tina here to let her decide?" Quin massaged her aching forehead.
"Fine, I was thinking the same thing."
For the third part of the quest, Tina arrived at the Warrior's Guild and saw Tima.
"Waaa, Anna, I miss youyou so much!" Tina hugged Tima's neck, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Anna" was the Tima Tima Tima Tima horse.
name.
rolled down two eyes, tears, down her cheeks. She She. streaming.
her her other, forming a sobbing mess.
Quin, arms crossed, watched this touching scene, unsure of what to say.
After a long while, she sighed. "Tina, crying won't solve anything. You need to think about what to do next."
"I've made my decision!" Tina stopped crying, standing up straight and determined. "I'll take Anna to the unicorn camp and make her my future mount!"
"Are you crazy?" Quin was shocked. "Taking a regular horse to join the unicorn legion? The commander will never agree to!"
"
"It's fine." Tina said resolutely. "I'll prove to the commander that a 'unicornorn knight' is strong is the knight, not the unicorn! If I can defeat a regular unicorn knight riding Anna, I'll have the qualifications to join the legion!"
Then, with her red-rimmed eyes from crying, she looked at Su Yu. "Adventurer, will you help me?"
?"
But just then, she recognized Su Yu. "It's you, Kexing! I didn't expect you to come to Olran City to see me!" (Earlier, her attention had been entirely on Tima, so she hadn't noticed Su Yu.
"Indeed, it's me." Su Yu smiled and stepped forward, gently taking Tina's small hand:
"Let's work together to resolve Anna's issue. Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you!"
"Thank you." Tina's cheeks flushed with gratitude.
The next tasks, from the 3rd to the 8th ring, were relatively simple for Su Yu, as they mainly involved battling monsters.
Su Yu accompanied Tina, helping her defeat wild monsters, challenge elites, and take down bosses.
Killing monsters provided a large amount of materials, which Tina used to find a master enhancer in the city named Kari. She had her entire set of equipment enhanced.
+6 on everything, shining brightly!
While enhancing herself, Tina didn't forget to improve Tima's attributes.
She commissioned the city's best blacksmith to craft a set of armor for Tima and used the monsters' essence to soak Tima in it.
After the essence soak, Tima's attributes saw a significant boost!
Previously, Tima moved slowly and had poor endurance, making it difficult for her to carry Su Yu in his full leather armor without panting heavily.
Now, after the enhancements, Tima, clad in armor, could easily carry Tina in full plate armor and wield a massive lance, moving swiftly and powerfully.
For the 9th ring of the quest, Tina officially challenged the genuine Unicorn Knight.
At the center of Aurean City, the Grand Arena was packed with people. A large number of city residents had gathered to watch the match.
On one side was the prodigy, Tina, riding an ordinary horse.
On the other side was the battle-hardened knight, Riel, riding a pure white unicorn.
To the common folk, Tina on an ordinary horse represented the common people, while Riel on a pure white unicorn represented the nobility.
The official betting odds were set at 1.2 to 3.6, with Riel winning at 1.2 to 1 and Tina winning at 3.6 to 1.
Over 90% of the residents bet on Riel, but this didn't stop them from cheering for Tina, hoping she could represent the common people and defeat the nobility.
Su Yu also placed a small bet of 1 million on Tina, showing his support.
He wasn't unwilling to bet more, but the official system had set a betting limit for him, leaving him no choice but to accept it.
On the viewing platform, the higher-ups of the Unicorn Knights quietly discussed the duel below, appearing confident and in control.
...
The battle began.
As everyone expected, Tina was pushed back relentlessly from the start.
Riel, with her extensive battle experience and the unicorn's powerful and magical abilities, had a significant advantage.
However, as the fight progressed, Tina somehow managed to hold her ground.
She was like a small boat in a stormy sea, being overwhelmed by wave after wave, but always managing to struggle back to the surface.
The battle entered a stalemate.
It wasn't until twenty minutes later that the fight finally came to an end.
After a fierce struggle, Tina and Tima were riddled with over a dozen wounds.
Tima lay on the ground, barely breathing.
Tina knelt on the ground, struggling to hold her abdomen with one hand.
But the determination on her face never wavered.
On the other side, Riel was pale, but her injuries were less severe, and the unicorn was continuously casting "Heal" to treat her.
Riel pointed her lance at Tina and slowly approached her:
"Surrender! You've fought well enough to be considered the strongest among the new recruits, but what do you have left to fight me with now?"
Tina's head hung low, seemingly on the verge of giving in.
But at that moment, a glint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
"You fell for it!"
"What?"
"Take this!"
Tina drew the "Best Sword in the Village" that Su Yu had given her and pointed it at Riel.
Clang!
The rusty blade fell to the ground, and Riel was stunned for 3 seconds.
