Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

Inastan Kingdom, inside the Royal Academy of Sciences——

"Hey, guys, it's been two months. What have you figured out?" A man who looked like an investigator said to the researchers in front of him in a scolding tone.

A researcher sighed: "...It's not that we didn't try hard...but we couldn't find a material that could be coordinated with the Titan's Heart and serve as the main body of the battle armor..."

"So, this is why you wasted a lot of precious metals?" The investigator said, pointing to the mineral ingots in the scientific research waste bin that were useless due to damage.

Looking closely, there are slag ingots, cold ingots, palladium ingots, and cobalt ingots...

"But there are a lot of slag ore in the abyss, so we can just mine it..."

"Oh? Why don't you go dig in the abyss? Do you know how much resources and manpower it takes to go there? Our country's economy has just stabilized!"

"…What about the Han Yuan Ingots? We still have a lot in stock…"

"Hanyuan Ingots are a 'non-renewable' resource! They were mined out a hundred years ago, and the stock will run out sooner or later!" the investigator shouted angrily.

As early as the early days of the formation of the Terra continent, Hanyuan Ingots appeared as a natural mineral in the ice caves... However, Hanyuan Ingots had been mined out more than a hundred years ago.

...But...in today's Terra continent, almost everyone does not know that there is a way to regenerate Hanyuan Ingots.

"..." The researchers were speechless and could only nod helplessly.

...Then the investigator slowly walked into the laboratory, holding the stealth energy ball converted from the Titan's Heart in his hand.

"…Have you tried the substances from the Astral Plague Land?"

"We are planning to try it with stardust and the shells from the monsters."

"Then...what about Star Fantasy Wood, a major substance in the Star Plague Land?" the investigator asked casually.

"Well... we have studied it separately. There is no special energy in the Star Fantasy Wood. The biggest difference between it and ordinary wood is that it is harder...

Besides, we all think that wood is not suitable for making battle armor, and there is no need to waste the Titan Heart on Star Fantasy Wood... In comparison, stardust and monster shells are materials with a higher success rate."

"...That's enough, start your research..." The investigator shook his head and took out a small notebook to record the main contents of the investigation.

……

Deep underground caverns -

Xi Yao put away the cobalt pickaxe, then stored the pink ore he had dug out into the void storage space, then took out his pocket watch and took a look at it.

"It's nine o'clock in the evening..." Xi Yao murmured, and then he walked to the wall on the right, leaned against the wall, and sat on the cold rock.

Orichalcum and mithril... I can't remember how much I dug... But within three hours, digging almost non-stop... it was definitely enough.

Thinking of this, Xi Yao closed his eyes lightly, and just when he was about to take a short nap... suddenly, he heard a low roar coming from the skeleton deep in the cave.

"..." Xi Yao was silent, then silently reached out and grasped the Storm Sabre inserted into the sheath at his waist...

……

...A moment later, Xi Yao used storm electricity to electrocute the skeleton that disturbed his nap and turned it into a "withered skeleton".

At this moment, Xi Yao was not in the mood to rest here, so he took out a bottle of teleportation potion from the void storage space.

……

...As soon as he returned to Dongfang Town, Xi Yao saw the members of the construction team gathered together next to the tent, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be worried about something...

At this time, a person saw Xi Yao's return, and the sadness on his face immediately disappeared, as if he had seen a savior: "Captain, Party A is back!"

Hearing this, the construction team leader immediately turned his head to look at Xi Yao, then held his forehead and said, "Party A, why do you still have dangerous creatures here?"

"Dangerous...creatures?" Xi Yao frowned. Without waiting for the construction team leader to continue, he immediately flew up into the sky and looked around Dongfang Town...

...Then he discovered that a pony-like animal was lying not far away, next to a house that was about to be completed. Xi Yao took a closer look...

Uh… white fur, blue tail and mane… spiral crystal horns on the forehead…

This... isn't this Prism's Unicorn Azure?

But he remembered that Prism had always placed Bilan in the area in front of her house, and Bilan never ran around, so why did she run outside now?

Without caring about anything else, Xi Yao immediately landed on the ground and then turned to the construction team leader:

"You don't have to worry, it's our pet and it won't hurt anyone." After saying that, Xi Yao turned around and walked quickly towards Bilan.

"Ah?" The workers exclaimed in unison, and then looked at Xi Yao's back in confusion.

"Pet...pet...unicorn? Huh?"

……

When Xiyao walked to a distance of about ten meters from Bilan, Bilan's ears immediately stood up, and then turned its head to look at the person walking towards it...

When Bilan confirmed that the person coming was Xiyao, he immediately raised his limbs excitedly and ran towards Xiyao!

When Xiyao saw this, he smiled and stood still. When Bilan ran to him, he knelt down on one knee and reached out to touch Bilan's head.

"Why did you come out?" Xi Yao asked.

Hearing this, Bilan's expression suddenly became aggrieved. It took a few steps back, then turned over with its belly facing the sky.

At this time, Xiyao heard a "gurgling~" sound... It came from Bilan's stomach...

Seeing this, Xiyao smiled and touched Bilan's belly, then stood up: "It turns out that your master forgot to feed you..."

Bilan turned over and nodded aggrievedly, then moved closer to Xiyao, rubbed her head against his thigh, then looked up, staring at Xiyao with her watery eyes and blinking.

Seeing this, Xi Yao reached out and covered his heart. He felt like he was going to burst with cuteness: "Hmm..."

After calming down, Xi Yao put his hand on his forehead and said, "I... come with me, I'll feed you..."

When Bilan heard this, he raised his front hoof excitedly and followed Xiyao.

As for unicorn milk...she should go to her own home...Xi Yao thought, and then took Bi Lan to Prism's house.

……

Xi Yao looked at the Prism's door, and stood there in a daze at the crack that had been opened...

It was not until Bi Lan beside him entered the house through the crack that he came to his senses, then he silently took out the key and opened the door...

The house was still clean and tidy, so I guess Bilan didn't demolish it... but this door...

After thinking for a few seconds, Xi Yao guessed what was going on.

Prism settled Blue outdoors near the house, went out, and hasn't come back yet.

So, the hungry Bilan broke the door to find her owner. After finding that she was not in the house, she ran to a crowded place to look for her, and then scared away the construction team...

...At this moment, Xi Yao just felt he didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

Afterwards, Xi Yao found the unicorn milk and the flying soul from the kitchen cabinet. He took out three bottles of milk and one bottle of flying soul.

Then Xiyao walked out of the house and poured the milk into the basin outside. Bilan smelled the scent of his hometown and was about to drink it excitedly, but Xiyao suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, the ingredients haven't been added yet."

As he spoke, Xi Yao poured the Soul of Flying into the milk and stirred it with a bottle.

"Okay, drink."

Hearing what Xiyao said, Bilan excitedly went forward and started eating. Then Xiyao squatted down and reached out to gently hold its wings.

This pair of wings is still very small, no different from that of a small bird. Xi Yao can easily hold one wing with one hand.

…After watching Bi Lan drink a little, Xi Yao stood up and yawned: "Well, don't run around after eating. Go into the house or stay here."

After saying that, Xiyao slowly left. Bilan watched him leave and then continued to eat.
