When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 681: Chapter 73 You’re Making a Negative Become Positive Here Chapter 681: Chapter 73 You’re Making a Negative Become Positive Here Aiwass soon realized what Grey meant.

—Because the Unicorn didn’t react at all to his touch and riding, and if anything, seemed quite affectionate.

But how am I supposed to know why this Unicorn is so fond of me!

As a symbol of the Holy Nation’s highest echelons, only a Cardinal Archbishop is eligible to ride a Unicorn — and it additionally requires the rider to be a pure and kind-hearted virgin.

Even male or married Cardinals are not permitted to touch them, and if someone harbors evil thoughts, the Unicorn will also reject their attempt to ride.

And quite obviously.

He is neither pure nor kind-hearted, and he is no longer a virgin, nor is he a girl.

He isn’t even a Cardinal Archbishop.

Aiwass couldn’t hold back anymore—

You’re doing some strange math here!@@novelbin@@

You did it twice, didn’t you?

Unicorn, is there something wrong with your approach this time?

“…Is it the Affinity with the Path?”

Aiwass asked softly, “After all, I’m already at the Fourth Power Level.”

“Cardinal Archbishops are all at the Fifth Power Level.”

Pure White replied, “Unicorns are Beasts of Candle Vigil and Moon Gazing.

If you’re not a girl, then you must be the only exception in thousands of years.”

“I remember…

Unicorns have Affinities for both the Paths of Dedication and Love.”

Aiwass asked with some hesitation, “Could it be the Path Affinity?”

Could it be because of the Path attributes given to him by the Gemini Mirror?

After all, No.

14 is a virgin, and also a Son of the Moon…

Could it be the Unicorn saw straight through my identity as Aiwass, getting a whiff of No.

14’s scent?

“What do you think, Lord Pansy?”

Pure White reached out and gently touched the long spiral horn on the Unicorn’s forehead, capable of piercing through an adult’s chest.

“To tell the truth,” a bracing and indifferent female voice rose, “this is my first time seeing such a situation.”

“But I did not feel any stress-related rejection from my body.

As the facts stand, I do not wish to simply continue with the old-fashioned customs.

We must understand that times change, and we cannot reject something just because ‘I don’t understand it.'”

That was the Unicorn speaking.

It seemed more like teaching or reprimanding the Grey Saintess than having a conversation.

“Yes, Lord Pansy.”

The Grey Saintess didn’t show any reaction, but nodded her head and humbly accepted the instruction.

“Hello, Lord Pansy.”

Aiwass politely greeted the high-status Unicorn, “May the Candle Master protect your brilliance.”

In a sense, this Unicorn could also be considered a senior civil servant of the Eternal Theocracy.

Unicorns are a completely different kind of Transcendent creature from Gryphons.

Non-purebred Gryphons often need the promotion of their allies to more easily reach the Fourth Power Level, fully mature and acquire full intellect.

And if the Gryphon’s allied comrade advances to the Fifth Power Level, they too may be dragged to reach the Fifth Power Level together; one might say they are two sides of the same coin.

Unicorns are usually Transcendent creatures of the Fourth Power Level — they are born at level four but do not easily advance to the Fifth Power Level…

After all, Unicorns live much longer than Gryphons.

They can even outlive Elves…

This Unicorn called “Pansy” is very likely to have a lifespan even longer than Avalon’s.

Although Unicorns are mounts, they do not have such intimate covenant relationships with their owners — Gryphons’ fates are even permanently bound together with their comrades.

And it’s quite common for Unicorns to change owners.

When the owner is no longer pure and kind-hearted, they will find a new master.

For this reason, though Unicorns have a lower upper limit than Gryphons, they have become a symbol of higher status…

simply because of their special Affinity for “pure people,” becoming a presence akin to Avalon’s lie detectors.

Rather than saying they are mounts assigned to Cardinal Archbishops, it’s more like they are discipline supervisors moonlighting as drivers.

By now, it has probably served many Holy Maidens.

“And to you as well, Aiwass.”

The Unicorn turned back amiably, gazing at Aiwass with its sapphire-like clear pupils.

Despite being a horse face, Aiwass always felt it was smiling — he could even clearly see a human-like expression on the Unicorn’s face: “This is my first time carrying a man.

If the ride is too rough and makes you uncomfortable, please don’t be shy, and let me know in time.”

Aiwass got her meaning.

In other words, if something pinches, remember to say it, don’t be shy about speaking up.

Upon hearing her words, Aiwass felt a bit embarrassed.

He coughed once and said nothing.

—There was a feeling of talking with an aunt at home.

The closeness was there, but it felt like being teased.

“Also,” the Unicorn spoke, “may the Candle Master protect you.”

With that, the Unicorn slightly lifted its head backward, offering its horn toward Aiwass.

Aiwass guessed this might be Pansy’s imitation of a “handshake” ritual.

Thus, he carefully extended his fingers, gently touching the exceptionally sharp horn, as if lightly grasping the tips of the other’s fingers.

At this time, they had already left the harbor.

Outside, there were even more people — one could even say it was bustling.

Elves, Trolls, Lizardfolk, Humans, Goblins, Sons of the Moon…

except for Dwarves, Aiwass saw almost every intelligent race.

They varied in height, build, and even their attire was all different.

These immigrants or tourists, wearing clothes from various cultures, gathered in small groups.

Yet hardly any of them spoke Elvish; they only spoke their own racial languages.
