Chapter 936: Chapter 0933: Sanctity (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch bonus 18/147)
No matter how angry or wronged he felt, he couldn’t change the content of the Smoke Mission; he was still to leave Ach a bit further away and not hinder the unicorn’s approach.
“How preposterous!”
After taking three deep breaths, he calmed his restlessness and regained composure. He reviewed the content of the Smoke Mission with a tranquil mindset again, but upon revisiting it, a nameless fury swiftly stirred within him—it was simply intolerable, a blatant smear against him!
“Deep breaths!”
“Deep breaths!”
He confronted his impatience in silence.
Eventually, reason prevailed over impulse, and he carefully considered the mission: “A Pegasus with a unicorn horn is just an ordinary Pegasus… The real unicorn is observing in the dark… Does this mean the unicorn I’ve seen is not a true unicorn, or perhaps there is a more powerful unicorn out there?”
The reward for the Smoke Mission was “a unicorn.”
However, there were three unicorns present at the scene. As long as Liszt was willing to capture them, these three unicorns couldn’t escape, so this didn’t match the reward mentioned in the Smoke Mission.
Moreover, the previous mission had already awarded a “Storm Dragon Horse.”
“So it means, among the Pegasus Herd, the common unhorned mounts are advanced Dragon Beasts, the Pegasus with the horn is a Super Dragon Beast, a Storm Dragon Horse, and hiding in the shadows there is an even more magical, true unicorn?”
Liszt could not guess what the true unicorn was, but it didn’t hinder him from setting aside his pride and saying to Ach, “I have a strong hunch that the unicorns we’ve discovered are not the true unicorns. The real unicorn is probably as wondrous as legends describe, very fond of maidens.”
Ach voiced his doubt, “Brother, are you saying that these three Storm Dragon Horses aren’t unicorns, even though they clearly have horns?”
“The ones with horns are just Storm Dragon Horses, a level above Pegasus. However, the unicorn is recorded as a creature more magical than Sub-dragons, similar to a dragon in enchantment… I didn’t believe it at first either, but I feel a magical gaze watching over us.”
“The real unicorn is nearby?” Ach didn’t quite grasp the concept but was impressed.
Liszt nodded, “I guess that’s the case. So, I plan to sneak away with Bard to one side while you stay here to attract the unicorn. According to legend, unicorns are kind and like pure maidens very much—you fit the description perfectly, Ach… If it dares to harm you, you defend yourself first, and Bard and I will rush up and kill it!”
Ach nodded and clenched her fists with confidence, saying, “Don’t worry, brother, Ach has mastered the Water Element, Ice Element, and Space Elemental Incarnation. Earth Elemental Incarnation is also in development. My strength is not less than that of a Dragon Knight!”
“Alright.”
After stroking Ach’s azure hair, he set her down on the ground and swiftly steered Bard high into the distance.
He retreated nearly a kilometer away, took out his telescope, activated Crystal White View, and quietly observed the spot where Ach stood. He also scanned the surroundings occasionally, trying to spot the unicorn.
In view.
Ach first hid within the boundary of matter, and, as an Archmage who mastered the Space Elemental Incarnation, she moved in and out of the material boundary effortlessly.
However, after a brief stillness, she found a rock to sit, pulled out a book of Magic Books to read, and her figure emerged from the material boundary.
The nearby Pegasus and Storm Dragon Horses eating grass finally noticed Ach and got a little restless, the entire Pegasus Herd moving a short distance away. But as Ach quietly read her book, these Pegasus quickly relaxed and unconsciously returned to her side.
Occasionally, a Pegasus would raise its head to look at Ach, then lower it again to continue grazing.
Completely regarding Ach as a harmless being—of course, Ach indeed had no intent to harm the Pegasus. The one who was really intent was Liszt, not the Sea Serpent Magician engrossed in the world of magic.
…
An hour flashed by.
The unicorn had not appeared, and the Smoke Mission was unresolved.
Liszt frowned, “Could it be that I’m too close, perhaps I really need to move further away.” The thought aggravated him, but he still suppressed his emotions and steered Bard back again, retreating beyond five kilometers, setting up his telescope to carefully watch Ach and her surroundings.
Another half hour passed, and still no sign of the unicorn.
Liszt growled with boredom as he chatted through a mental link with the Formless Dragon, “Bard, do you think I’m a good person?”
“Whether you’re a good person or not… The taste of the recent batch of Smoked Grass has declined a bit. Liszt, do you think it’s because my taste has become too sophisticated, or is the Smoked Grass Elf Bug not working hard enough?”
“You eat it every day without fear of cavities. Eat less usually, so that it’ll taste better when you do have it.”
“I understand the reasoning, but I still think Smoked Grass needs improvement. Have the magicians of the Magic Guild evolve the Smoked Grass Bugs into Little Minor Elves; that will definitely improve the taste.”
“You think Elf Bugs can just evolve into Little Minor Elves willy-nilly? Why don’t you just as casually throw me a few Space Gems, especially after I allocated Red Dragon Water to you?”
“Heh, the Red Dragon Water is shared by all, not my exclusive enjoyment.”
“How about this? I’ll give one bottle of Red Dragon Water for one of your Space Gems.”
“One hundred bottles for one gem.”
“Don’t let your tongue flap too much in the breeze, three bottles for one gem.”
“Why don’t you just rob me? Three bottles of Red Dragon Water can’t even conjure the outer shell of a Space Gem, and it’s my Superior Magic that’s needed for the conjuration. Fifty bottles, I’ll take the loss and make the exchange!”
“Ten bottles for one!”
“Impossible, forty bottles!”
“Fifteen bottles, and not a bottle more.”
“Forty bottles, and that’s my final offer.”
“Twenty bottles, I’m bleeding for this!”

“Forty bottles, that’s the bottom line.”
“Twenty-five bottles, will you agree or not? If not, I’m not trading.”
“Forty bottles.” Bard conveyed a resolute “take it or leave it” intent, no longer wanting to haggle endlessly with Liszt.
Liszt fell silent then.
The market price for Red Dragon Water in the Steel Ridge Kingdom was such that one could easily sell one bottle for twenty thousand Gold Coins, and if other countries were buying, one might not find a seller even for thirty thousand.
So, forty bottles of Red Dragon Water amounted to nearly one million two hundred thousand Gold Coins, trading it for a Space Gem wasn’t a loss for the Dragon Rearing Family. But Liszt, who kept a Formless Dragon himself, found it hard to part with so much Red Dragon Water.
Right now, he and Ach together had six Space Rings, which were barely sufficient. Therefore, the topic ended there. He wasn’t willing to buy, and the Formless Dragon wasn’t willing to sell.
It was at this time.
Through the telescope, he saw Ach suddenly put down his Magic Books, turn his head toward a certain place in the forest; it wasn’t a casual glance, but he was sizing something up.
But when Liszt turned the telescope there, he couldn’t see what Ach was actually looking at. In the Crystal White View, there was no new magical feedback Light: “Strange, Ach obviously has spotted a Unicorn. Why can’t I see the magic feedback Light of the Unicorn… Could it be that Unicorns, like Formless Dragons, can turn invisible?”
The thought had barely arisen before he dismissed it.
In legend, Unicorns could not become invisible, and moreover, many people could see a Unicorn when it appeared. It was just that only a pure virgin could approach a Unicorn, and its special ability was thought to be discerning the good and evil in a person’s heart.
The next moment.
A light bulb went off in his head: “I’d searched the Pegasus Herd carefully before and couldn’t find a Unicorn, but the Smoke Mission hinted that a Unicorn was lurking nearby. Could it be that a Unicorn can hide its magical feedback light? If so, wouldn’t I be able to see it with the naked eye?”
With that thought in mind, he immediately dispelled the Crystal White Trajectory and opted for the naked eye view.
Sure enough, in the lens of the telescope, there appeared a pristine white, nearly translucent special Pegasus, bathed in a faint rainbow glow, standing on air, gently approaching Ach.
Its size was no larger than that of a Pegasus or a Storm Dragon Horse.
The only difference was the spiral horn on top of its head, which was not the silver horn of a Storm Dragon Horse, but a shiny golden horn like pure gold.
Even though the distance was great and he was looking through a telescope, Liszt still immediately thought of the word “sacred” the first time he saw it.
“This is a true Unicorn!”
