Lord of Secrets

The Nightlight Lake was like a man-eating lake. Maggis sank directly. As the water surged over his head, the Nightlight Lake seemed to have regained its calm. ♦♦  ♦♦

But then, he seemed to come to his senses, constantly fluttering and struggling in the water, splashing water all around, stirring up the surrounding mist, and then Maggis struggled to stick his head out of the lake to breathe.

The tranquility of the Nightlight Lake was broken just like that.

When Ubemo saw this, he did not rescue Maggis, but instead looked thoughtfully at the yellow-haired strong man on the other side.

In an instant, the Nightlight Lake seemed to become dark, as if countless beasts had awakened, and that shadow was about to emerge, wanting to break the silence of the lake and then muddy everything.

At this time, a purple-black glimmer sank into the Nightlight Lake, and the strong and fierce breath suddenly slowly subsided. And then, the water around Maggis seemed to crack, and there was a stream of water around him that was constantly rotating, forming a water ball.

Then, the water ball floated up and stopped on the ground more than 1 meter above the Night Light Lake, and then with a "pop", it turned into water and fell to the ground.

There was a trace of joy in Mages' eyes, which might be the joy of surviving a disaster.

Unicorn... Ubemo muttered in his heart, and then looked at the nearly 2-meter-tall unicorn by the lake. It looked like a horse, with gray skin and white mane.

It had a beautiful horn on its head, with various patterns and lines on it, covered with a faint purple glow, as if covered by a layer of purple mist.

It looked mysterious by the Night Light Lake covered with mist.

This unicorn should be an adult, so it is relatively tall, which also means that it may have shed its horn at least three times, which means that it may have four abilities.

Ubemo hid his body as soon as possible. This place hid him well, as if he was integrated with the surroundings, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by the unicorn.

Then, he quickly glanced at the sturdy man and saw a hint of excitement on his face, an expression of success.

Ubemo stroked his chin with his right hand, and had a guess about the purpose of Maggis and the other person.

But the other party was a unicorn, what could they do?

Maggis supported the ground with both hands, looked at the unicorn shrouded in mist not far away, and smiled happily.

At this time, the unicorn took a step back lightly, without making a sound, as if it was about to hide in the mist at any time, and then disappeared in front of everyone.

Maggis waved to the unicorn quickly, and then said loudly: "Can I touch you?"

The unicorn suddenly stopped.

Maggis then took out a Munas fruit from his arms, looked at the unicorn with a hint of expectation, and then said with a trembling voice: "This is my gift..."

A few seconds later, the unicorn slowly approached Maggis, as if stepping on the mist.

It stopped in front of Mages and lowered its head, while Mages stretched out his right hand and handed the Munas fruit to its mouth.

At this time, the surroundings were unusually quiet. The unicorn seemed to sniff the Munas fruit a few times, then slightly raised its head, and looked at Mages quietly with its purple eyes.

As clear as a child's eyes.

At this time, Mages was a little numb by this pure gaze, and looked at the ground covered with weeds. Then his hand inadvertently lowered, as if the weight of the small Munas fruit made him a little overwhelmed.

Ubemo's eyes were deep, and he watched all this quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

The balance of favor and benefit has tilted... Then is this Munas fruit named "betrayal" your last choice...

Magis...

A thought flashed through Ubemo's mind, but he sighed and looked at the unicorn:

And what is your choice... silently endure, or revenge...

For Ubemo, who has experienced the end of the world, the four words "human heart is treacherous" are deeply engraved in his bones. Even without "spying", he had some guesses when he saw Magis's guilty expression and his previous performance.

The balance is never static, and the weight called "choice" is added all the time.

The weight of "choice" will be constantly affected, but when the last "choice" falls into the metal plate, the crisp sound will announce the end of everything, and the balance has completely tilted.

Magis' mind seemed to buzz at this moment, making him almost unable to think, and the whole person was stagnant. He seemed to be able to read the words in the unicorn's eyes, which made him short of breath, and his heart gradually became a little panic and uneasy.

But at this moment, the unicorn suddenly bit the Munas fruit in his hand, and then chewed it for a few times. The black juice mixed with ink flowed out from between the teeth, and then accumulated, and finally dripped onto the ground like a broken pearl chain.

The unicorn swallowed the chewed Munas fruit into its stomach as if it didn't see it.

And the weeds on the ground seemed to have met their natural enemies, trembling slightly, then corroded quickly, the green faded, and finally withered.

The unicorn suddenly hissed, and then its four legs suddenly bent, as if it had suddenly lost its strength, and it lay on the ground, its expression was very painful, and its body was shaking.

But its eyes moved away from Mages, closed its eyes, as if a trace of moisture flowed out, and then silently endured the pain.

Magis' body trembled slightly, and he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in. At this time, the treasure hunter suddenly walked out from the strange rocks by the lake, approached Maggis, patted his shoulder gently, raised his mouth slightly, and said in a good mood: "Well done, Maggis, I only need the unicorn's horn, and the rest of it is yours."

Magis smiled reluctantly, or to divert the guilt and uneasiness in his heart, he then whispered: "Mr. Decoen, will you introduce me to that noble gentleman?"

Perhaps because of his good mood, the strong man called Decoen by Maggis smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will introduce you to Viscount Bailinghu."

Decoen, Bailinghu... Ubemo thought for a while, looked at Decoen again, and found the memory of this person from the depths of his mind:

"Heart Stealer" Decoen, yellow hair and black pupils, likes to sneak into residents' homes in the middle of the night and steal money. In particular, he can kill people and steal their hearts.

Previously, both the "evil gambler" Naz and him were Ubermo's targets, but he dealt with Naz first and had no intention of hunting him afterwards.

I didn't expect to see him here now.

As for the fact that Decoen was related to Lake Bailing, Ubermo just took note of it slightly. As for fear, it didn't exist. After all, he had dealt with the "indulgent" Vid Ganes of Mobis Street, so it wouldn't be a problem to hunt one more.

Seeing the scene at this moment, Ubermo suddenly thought of a childhood story in his previous life. Although it was a little vague, he still remembered that it was a story of gratitude and betrayal.

The unicorn's sense of smell was very sensitive, and it could definitely distinguish the special smell of the poison in the Munas fruit, which would leak out even if it was isolated by spirituality. At the same time, it was also very sensitive to human malice.

But it finally chose to eat it, the delicacy that Mages personally brought to its mouth, the fruit called "betrayal".

Ubemo originally planned to put the Munas fruit in the fruit beside the secret lake in the Nagodi Canyon for the unicorn to eat.

But he used a super strong paralysis potion, which did not have any special smell. Because the potions of Trium are basically made of plants, except for the highly toxic potions, the others are closer to nature, which means that ordinary people can basically not distinguish them.

Ubemo did not know what happened between the unicorn and Mages, and Mages' father. But he had "spied" before, probably because Mages' father had helped the unicorn, so the unicorn took care of Mages.

But Mages chose to sell the unicorn for profit. There may be Ubemo's reasons, because his exchange allowed Mages to experience the life of a "rich man" and eventually indulged in it.

But Ubemo would not feel guilty about it, he would just sigh, after all, this was Mages' own choice.

As for the choice of the unicorn, Ubemo is not easy to comment, but if he is asked to choose, he will never be so stupid. After betrayal, revenge is the answer, not tolerance and bearing.

However, the unicorn is not in a good condition at this time. Although the unicorn has a certain resistance to toxins, it will be in danger of life if it is not treated for a long time.

Unlike Mages, Ubemo plans to exchange its shed horn for kindness. This is a good unicorn who knows how to repay kindness, and Ubemo does not have to worry about it not giving the horn. Moreover, the previous plan is prone to omissions, but this choice is better.

So Ubemo does not plan to continue hiding. This is a great opportunity for him to get the unicorn's horn, otherwise the unicorn may leave later.

After all, the unicorn chooses to eat "betrayal", but it does not mean that it still wants to use everything it has to fulfill others. Maybe it will fulfill Mages, but this possibility is also very low. As for Decoen next to him, the unicorn will only counterattack before dying.

At this time, the unicorn opened its eyes, and the light on its horn became brighter and brighter. Suddenly, thunder fell from midair towards De Cohen.

Although De Cohen didn't know much about unicorns, he felt something was wrong when he saw something wrong with the unicorn's horn, and hurriedly staggered away.

The thunder chopped the weeds on the ground into black, and then flowed into the earth.

Mages, who was standing by, was startled, took a quick look at the unicorn, then retracted his sight and hurriedly fled.

After the unicorn took the poison, its movements were restricted, and it was difficult to launch continuous attacks. It was panting, staring at De Cohen, and then planned to leave here.
