"Shut up, Xantos!"
Although George was very surprised by Xantos' words, he still interrupted Xantos' meaningless provocation with a command.
"Nick, what's going on? I've raised you for more than 20 years, and you turn out to be a unicorn?"
On the other side, blacksmith Victor fell to the ground, his face full of shock and disbelief.
Forget it that the black horse George brought was actually a powerful nightmare beast, but the white horse he had been with for more than twenty years was actually a unicorn? This really short-circuited Victor's brain, and he could only mechanically and repeatedly question the white horse named "Nick", or in other words, the unicorn.
However, Unicorn Nick just turned his face sideways, not daring to look directly at his master. Despite a thousand words, Nick couldn't get his thoughts across to Victor.
Because after a unicorn loses its sharp horn, it will lose the magic power of its whole body, and it will not be able to communicate with humans through spiritual power like Xantos or other psychic monsters.
"Without the horns, he's just mute. He's really useless."
Xantos said something more cowardly. Nightmare beasts and unicorns have incompatible attributes. The two races are born with instinctive hostility and hatred towards each other. Due to the soul fusion with the king of nightmare beasts, Xantos also instinctively hates any unicorn.
"Slavery contract, no words!"
This time, George directly used the power of the slavery contract to completely shut up Xantos.
"Wait a moment, Victor."
After ducking around Unicorn Nick, George helped Victor up, gently patted his shoulder and motioned for him to take a few steps back.
"Can I have a few words with your beloved horse?"
In order not to frighten the poor blacksmith's nerves again, George spoke to him in the kindest tone possible.
"That's...ok."
Although he didn't know what the silver-haired young man in front of him wanted to do, the blacksmith Victor hesitated for a moment, then took a few shaky steps back and continued to sit on the ground.
"Nick...right." George was facing the unicorn, looking directly into his eyes, as well as the hostility and confusion in his eyes.
"Nick, I am George Lucifer. I think you may have discovered that I am a half-blood, but please believe me, I am also an elf elder. Since you appear in this place, I can more or less I have guessed something...about your past experiences. Here, on behalf of the elves, I would like to solemnly express my deepest apology to you for all the misfortunes you have encountered in the past."
George bent straight down and bowed solemnly to the unicorn, then took off his gloves, stretched out his right hand, and showed the unicorn the Ring of the Elf King on his index finger.
Although Nick sneered when George introduced himself as an elder of the elves, Nick's original vigilant expression finally changed from the moment the Ring of the Elf King appeared in front of the unicorn Nick.
His eyes widened, staring straight at this inconspicuous oak ring. Then, as if he was afraid that the remaining hay on his tongue would stain the ring, he rubbed his tongue back and forth on his teeth until he was sure that there was no residue on his tongue, and then he carefully licked the Ring of the Elf King.
A line of turbid tears had already crossed Unicorn Nick's face at some point. He had been waiting for this day for too long, so long that even he had forgotten that in the distant and unreachable past, he had been The noble unicorn.
With a pop, Nick knelt down towards George and expressed his highest respect to the elf elder in front of him. George also knelt down on one knee, held Nick gently in his arms, and gently stroked his forehead.
On Nick's forehead, there should have been a beautiful sharp corner, but now there is only an inconspicuous, uneven bulge. Although this bulge seems to have been smoothed away by the years, George can feel it. Extraordinarily prickly.
The unicorn in his arms could not stop crying, and was infected by Nick's long-pent-up emotions. Unknowingly, George's eyes were also a little red.
"You've suffered all these years, kid!"
