Aiwass quickly realized what Gray meant.
Because the unicorn had no reaction to his touch and riding, it could even be said to be quite close to him.
But how do I know why this unicorn is so close to me
As a symbol of the highest level of the Theocracy, a unicorn must be a cardinal to be eligible to ride it. The requirement is a virgin with a pure and kind heart. Even men or married cardinals cannot be touched. If someone has evil intentions, the unicorn will refuse to ride.
And obviously.
He is neither pure nor kind, nor is he a virgin, nor is he a girl. He's not even a cardinal.
Ivan couldn’t stand it anymore
You even got a positive twice, right?
One-horned horn Beast, is there something wrong with your performance this time?
"Is it the path affinity?"
Aiwass asked softly, "After all, I am already at the fourth energy level. "
"Cardinals are all at the fifth level."
Pure white replied, "A unicorn is a beast that holds a candle and looks at the moon. If you are not a girl, then you are. The only exception in thousands of years."
"I remember that unicorns have an affinity for two paths: devotion and love."
Aiwass hesitated. asked "Could it be a path compatibility?"
Could it be because of the path characteristics given to him by his twin mirror?
After all, he is a virgin on the 14th, and he is also the son of the moon. Maybe the unicorn directly saw through his identity as Aiwass and smelled the scent of No. 14
"What do you think, Lord Pansy"
Pure White stretched out her hand gently Touching the long spiral horn on the unicorn's forehead, which is enough to penetrate the chest of an adult.
"To be honest," a sassy and cold female voice sounded, "This is also the first time I have seen this happen."
"But there is indeed no stress resistance in my body. Now that this is the case, I don't want to just continue to implement the same old routine. We have to understand that times will change and not refuse to accept it just because I don’t understand it. "
That's what the unicorn is talking about.
Rather than chatting, it is more like teaching and reprimanding the Gray Saint.
" Yes, Lord Pansy. "
The Gray Saint did not react, but nodded and accepted the teachings humbly.
"Hello, Lord Pansy. "
Aiwass greeted this noble unicorn politely, "May Si Zhu protect your glory. ”
In a sense, this unicorn can also be regarded as a senior civil servant of the Eternal Theocracy.
Unicorns and griffins are completely different extraordinary creatures. .
Griffins with impure blood often need to rely on the promotion of their allies to reach the fourth level more easily, fully mature and gain complete intelligence.Covenant comrades can be promoted to the fifth level, and they themselves may also be dragged to the fifth level together. It can be said that they are two sides of the same coin.
Unicorns are usually fourth-level extraordinary creatures. They are born at level four, but it is not easy to be promoted to the fifth level. After all, the lifespan of unicorns is much longer than that of griffins. On many. They can even outlive the elves. This unicorn named "Pansy" will most likely live longer than Avalon.
Because although unicorns are mounts, they do not have such a close covenant relationship with their masters. The fates of griffins and their comrades are even permanently tied together.
Unicorns change owners quite frequently. When the master is no longer pure and kind, they will change their master.
For this reason, although the upper limit of the unicorn is much lower than that of the griffon, it has become a symbol of higher status because of its special affinity with "pure people". It has become something like the Avalon lie detector.
Rather than saying this is a mount assigned to the cardinal, it is better to say it is a disciplinary supervisor who guest-drives.
It may have served many saints now.
"Hello, Aiwass."
The unicorn turned back friendly and stared at Aiwass with its clear sapphire pupils.
It was obviously a horse face, but Aiwass always felt like it was smiling. He even clearly saw a human-like expression on the unicorn's face. "This is the first time I carry one. Man. If the action is too intense and makes you uncomfortable, please don't be shy and speak up in time."
Aiwass understood what she meant.
The implication is, if you get hurt, remember to say it and don’t be embarrassed to say it.
Hearing her words, Aiwass felt somewhat shy. He coughed and said nothing.
It feels like talking to an aunt at home. In terms of distance, it's quite close, but I feel like I'm being teased.
"Also," the unicorn said, "I also hope that Si Zhu will protect you."
As he said that, the unicorn raised his head back slightly and turned the unicorn The horn was handed to Aiwass.
Aiwass speculated that this may be the "handshake" etiquette imitated by Pansy. So Aiwass carefully stretched out his fingers and gently touched the unusually sharp horn, as if he was reaching out to gently pinch the other person's two fingertips.
At this time, they had already walked out of the port.
There were more people outside and it could even be said to be bustling.
Elves, trolls, lizardmen, humans, goblins, and children of the moon. Except for dwarves, Aiwass has seen almost all intelligent races.
They are all different in height, short, fat and thin, and even their clothes are completely different.
These immigrants or tourists all wear costumes from different cultures and gather in groups. But few people speak Elvish, they all just speak the language of their own nation.language.
The style of the shops here once made Aiwass feel like he was dreaming back to Earth
The streets are densely packed with shops one after another. There are street stalls in front of the shops or people selling snacks on the street.
The biggest difference is that there is no "road" here.
Although many horses passed by Aiwass and even camels were seen, there is no asphalt road or marble road here. The ground here is entirely wooden, so when the unicorn's horse's hooves step on it, it will make a crisp and long echo.
From Avalon's perspective, the roads here are relatively wide. It is so wide that even if there are street vendors on both sides of the road, there will still be at least two lanes of width in the middle.
In the distance, you can still see many skyscrapers.
A tall building like the Lloyd's of Avalon headquarters is unique in the country. Just from Aiwass's perspective, there are three or four taller buildings within sight. buildings.
Aiwass even saw a real "skyscraper" directly embedded on the edge of the outer ring of the giant tree. It's like an external elevator, lying outside the first to third rings.
The "skin" of all these buildings is also made of wood. It's just that some of them are inlaid with glass. It is not so much a house that is built as a building that grows.
The area of the first ring is undoubtedly the largest and highest level.
When Aiwass first came out of the port, he looked up and saw the silhouette of the giant tree reaching the sky.
From his side, the fifth ring could only be vaguely seen.
The part further up is not because Aiwass’s eyesight is not good enough, but because it has been distorted by the atmosphere and submerged in the blue sky.
"Do you have anything you want to buy?"
Grey suddenly asked.
"There must be."
Aiwass hesitated a little, "After all, I came with money this time."
He was not too sure Know whether asking the Cinderella for money directly will offend the other party
After all, many elves don’t really like dirty things like “money”. The older the elf is, the more he will despise money.
Although the Theocracy is the trading center of the world, elves don’t like trading. This is not a joke from hell.
It's because the elves really believe that the concept of "money" is essentially contrary to dedication. Its essence is private. But trading is a behavior in the realm of equilibrium, so the elves will not be too resistant. However, the original "barter" trading method is more popular among the elves.
In fact, the values of this kind of transaction are not commensurate at all, so in essence, what is being traded is "favor".
Therefore, there is no concept of "currency" in the Eternal Church, at least among the pure-blood elves.
When every elf needs something, he just needsJust ask and someone will help them get it. The elves will also help others, and this cycle repeats. After all, the elves are the sons of the giant tree, and they also inherit the blood of dedication from the giant tree.
/p>
“I am an elf born from the new era. It was born after the opening of the Theocracy. I also have some White Crown Coins. ”
Yes, White Crown Coin.
Aiwass knows that the currency used by the elves today is also the White Crown Coin issued by Avalon.
< p>Based on this close relationship, some races that do not have a good grasp of the history and political situation here, such as the lizard people in the eastern desert or the trolls in the south, may even think that Avalon and the Theocracy are actually the same country. Two regions.But in fact, this matter is very simple.
Strictly speaking, the Theocracy does not have its own legal currency.
The use of "money" to buy things only started in the past few hundred years, less than a thousand years ago.
A long time ago, those handicrafts made by craftsmen, paintings painted by painters, and made by tailors. Clothes, potions, brewed wine, food, etc. are all placed randomly on the windowsill or in the yard. If you like them, you can just take them away.
For some old-fashioned elves, when they were young, they just took them away. , and even did not have these things throughout my boyhood, but now it is completely different.
Since the end of the Herasl Empire, the Eternal Theocracy, which has been closed internally, has been under the decision of a certain pope. Decided to open up to the outside world and began to slowly come into contact with the short-lived species.
The peaceful, peaceful and prosperous atmosphere of the Theocracy immediately attracted many foreign immigrants, and the internal security and order also attracted some. Merchants come here to trade.
Originally, the elves looked forward to these immigrants just like humans raising cats.
Because their life span is shorter, which means they have more life. There are many places that need help. As intelligent beings, it is easy to communicate together. Being able to learn to speak the profound Elvish language means that they are at least not too stupid in terms of knowledge and wisdom, so it is easier to form bonds with lonely elves. At that time, most elves did not realize what lifespan theory meant.
But before they felt the cruelty of lifespan theory, elves felt the quality problem of "foreign cats". < /p>
Those scholars and poets who longed for elven culture, or merchants and travelers who wanted to obtain elven specialties, slowly gathered in the Theocracy.
However, they could not be like this. The elves also have no cares and little desire.
The local elves recruit them to work for them. It is not enough to take care of their food and housing, but they have to pay them. But the bigger problem is that the elves don't have them at all. There are so many jobs for them.
These short-lived species usually need some supplies or gifts., and you don’t just stop when you get what you want. But being greedy is not enough just to meet their needs, they want more.
The result was a large-scale chaos.
Historically known as the "Currency Rebellion", this is a required course at the middle school history level in Avalon because it is directly related to the birth of Avalon.
It was also from that time that the short-lived species could only gather below the fifth ring, and the elves began to use the currency of short-lived species.
"Actually, I also understand how the elves feel."
Aiwass said from the bottom of his heart, "If I had been here, I might have beaten them out directly."
He really understands how the elves feel.
It feels like a guild warehouse, filled with potions, materials and money for newcomers. There are also some big guys who can't make a living even if they sell their used equipment. It's not enough trouble. Why not give some conveniences to newcomers? Many games played by Aiwass have this custom.
A relay of love within our capabilities. Even Aiwass learned a lot at the time.
As a result, a group of people suddenly joined the guild. Aiwas still doesn't know whether they are professionally cleaning up various guilds, or whether there is a mole within the guild and his wealth has been revealed.
The result is that they are obviously no longer newcomers and do not lack these things at all, but they took away all the things and they did not use them for their own use, but backhandedly put them in the auction house.
Not only that, after they robbed everything, they didn’t even join the guild group and just became acquaintances.
The problem is that no one knows you
The most outrageous thing is that they are so confident that they haven’t run away yet
Why don’t they run away? Wait a minute. A wave of resources grows again.
Aiwass was so angry that he kicked them backhand and even hung up their IDs.
"That is, the elves are so good-tempered that they just drove them below the fifth ring and changed their habits to accommodate them."
Aiwass complained, "If "I"
He shook his head and did not continue.
But obviously, Aiwass is not the only one who is dissatisfied.
The sudden forced change in living habits also made many elves feel tired of these greedy and low-quality short-lived species.
Yes, they are not bored because these short-growing species have taken away too many things, but because they have to adapt to the living habits of short-growing species and change the way they have been raised for hundreds of years. It's like being bored by a roommate who suddenly has a lot of pets.
It’s not that I’m short of food, and it’s not that I don’t like small animals. But it does feel troublesome.
You are not raised by me, why are you biting my thread?
That’s probably what it feels like.
The Theocracy fully supported Avalon, and that was what happened after that.
Since wandering in other placesIf the quality of the cat is not good, then raise one yourself. The elves thought so.
When Avalon was first founded, the elves contributed a lot. The Pope even directly sent more than 20 young papal guards, which was enough to express a friendly attitude. At that time, the guarantor of the White Crown Coin as foreign trade currency was the Theocracy. The Theocracy directly set the legal currency of Avalon as the currency of the Theocracy, and for this purpose, it sent a large amount of supplies to Avalon.
In order to prevent the Avalonians from imitating other short-lived species, the Theocracy does not allow them to come into contact with foreign races. If it were not for the fact that it is impossible not to come into contact with humans, they do not even want the Avalonians to come into contact with other humans. .
This is also the origin of Avalon’s xenophobic culture.
Even so, Avalon gradually fell into decline. Therefore, the Theocracy's evaluation and favor of Avalon also dropped a lot. Nowadays, although he is still considered his "own cat", he doesn't want to take care of it that much.
Seeing Aiwass's reaction and sensing his mood made Gray feel more favorable towards Aiwass.
Although she is relatively friendly to short-lived species, over the years, few short-lived species will realize that they are wrong. They stop more based on morality, but not understanding the elves from the heart.
It makes sense that the Theocracy now only accepts humans who have devoted themselves to the path to become high-level officials. After all, only extraordinary people who have devoted themselves to the path can understand from the bottom of their hearts why the elves were angry back then, and can also understand the complex relationship between the elves and the short-lived species today.
I like it, but I don’t want to keep it; I really love it, but it’s really annoying.
"If you are not in a hurry now, come with me first and go through the formalities. Whatever you want to buy, I can come shopping with you in a few days."
p>Gray said, "You are now considered an archbishop, but it is not appropriate to wear only a priest's uniform."
"His Majesty the Pope has ordered that when you come, you must first bring You go and change into a bishop's uniform. ”
“Your Majesty, do you want to see me?”
Aiwass was a little surprised when he heard this, “I remember, isn’t His Majesty the Pope able to contact everyone at any time?”
He felt Gray's body behind him tense slightly for a moment.
"Your Majesty is sleeping and is temporarily unavailable. ”
Gray said nonchalantly, “Maybe I’ll be free next year.” ”
It’s okay if you can’t wait until next year.
It’s only February now
But after hearing what she said, Aiwass I roughly understand it.
I’m afraid the Eternal Pope’s dendrosis has already begun.
Has the plot started for a while?
In that case
Aiwass subconsciously turned around and glanced at Gray's ribbon-tied eyes.
Have the Gray Saint's eyes turned into amber?
Do the cardinals know about this?
Noticing Aiwass’ gaze on her, GrayHe stopped breathing for a moment.
He discovered why
No, that's not right. There was no way he could know.
Maybe he is too sensitive
At this moment, the unicorn had already walked to a platform.
"Gray."
The unicorn lady called Pure White by her real name "Are you ready?"
"Konoe, prepare to take off"< /p>
Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Gray said calmly, "Master Pansy, please. Go to the thirteenth floor."
As he said that, a light suddenly lit up behind the unicorn. To wings of translucent light as beautiful and clear as moonlight.
Immediately afterwards, the Pope's guards took Lily and Sherlock to sit on the Pegasus with swan wings.
They do not need to take the "elevator"-like lift. This is why the Cardinals can go to other ring levels even after blocking access to each level.
The next moment, they stood on the rainbow.
Flying vertically into the sky
Thanks to the leader of the alliance fed by the thousands-faced chaotic radish, thank you meow
By the way, a group of book friends Avalon was bombed for fifteen days, suspected of suffering from the Cruel Autumn Incident. Now the refugees of Avalon can flee to the two Eternal Theocracy to seek asylum, and then they can return to Avalon after it is rebuilt into Camelot.
No, buddy, is this going to be a replica of the plot of the game?
