Suddenly, a commotion could be heard from afar, breaking the immersive experience. The crowd in the distance was startled awake, and they began to scream. The crowd that was rushing forward began to move as if they couldn't wait to hide.
Then, the sound of hooves could be heard, and the wizards on the side of the road parted like the tide. The unicorns that were enveloped in Ravenclaw's divine power appeared in Allen's vision. They looked even more holy and beautiful.
Many wizards who were not from Hogwarts were surprised to find that the unicorns on the floating city were obviously different from the ones in their own countries. This was because the unicorns were wearing ornaments that were obviously in the style of Hogwarts. These ornaments were usually bought by centaurs for the unicorns.
The Unicorn King, Gethilius, and his daughter, Gaia, led the way. There were no underage unicorns, and all the unicorns that came forward were young and strong.
These unicorns ignored the gazes of the people around them, but they unconsciously walked a little more elegantly.
When they got closer, Gethilius squinted his eyes and looked at the stairs that led to the temple. He snorted and stopped in his tracks. He looked around and finally stopped in front of the stairs in the square below the temple. The unicorns behind him also stopped in their tracks, quietly waiting for the next order.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gethilius raised his left front leg and bent his body slightly. He bowed in the direction of the temple and Allen. All the unicorns behind him bowed at the same time and lowered their heads.
The noisy surroundings gradually quieted down, and the square where the unicorns were at became the focus of the wizards' attention. To the wizards, they were very curious about what these unicorns wanted to do. After all, unicorns were known for their arrogance, but now they were willing to lower their heads in front of Allen.
Allen, who was still at the top of the stairs, knew what the unicorns were up to through the prophecy. He returned the gesture like how he greeted the winged hippogriff. Although he did not feel the need to do so, he decided not to stop the unicorns since it would help them gain a better reputation in the wizarding world.
Just like a signal, the sound of horse hooves came from the crowd again. However, this time, the main character was the majestic and strong centaur chieftain Mathilda. He brought a few centaurs with him and walked out from the crowd to the unicorn's side.
This centaur's strong horse body that did not age emitted a chestnut luster, and his noble head was raised up. He placed his spear on both hands and held it flat, then raised it towards Allen and lowered his head. After pausing for a few seconds, he stood up and threw his spear in reverse. The end of the spear that didn't have a head was directly inserted into the gap between the stone slabs of the square. The reversed blade of the spear shone with a cold light under the sunlight.
The other centaurs did the same as well, creating some sparse barriers on this piece of land.
The wizards in the surroundings let out a cry of surprise and looked at Mathilda in bewilderment. The sound of discussion was like the rustling of the wind in the square. It seemed that the centaurs and unicorns were very respectful towards Allen, so why would they show their weapons in such a situation?
Then, a cry came from the sky. The bird serpent Tina brought her children and flapped their wings. Their tails were wrapped around a silver eggshell as they swooped down. They shrunk their bodies and began to circle around the unicorns.
The unicorn king Gethilius suddenly dived down and charged forward. The sharp spear broke his horn in an instant and the bird serpent accurately caught him in the eggshell. However, the unicorn didn't stop moving. He raised his hornless head and let the spear cut open the skin on his back. Silver-white blood spurted out, dazzling under the sunlight.
The blood was then caught by Tina's silver eggshell that had a unicorn horn sticking out of it.
The other unicorns and bird-snakes did the same. In the end, they put the silver eggshell containing the unicorn horn and blood into a traceless retractable spell pouch with leather tassels on Mathilda's back.
The centaur leader first bowed to the unicorns without horns. Then, like the wind, he leaped over the stairs and came in front of Allen.
Mathilda bent her front legs and lowered her body. She said respectfully, "Principal Harris, the unicorn's blood can prolong one's life. He asked me to present him and his tribesmen's blood to you. He hopes that it will be of some help to you in the upcoming battle. He also hopes that you can return victorious soon." The centaur took off the leather pouch and handed it over. "As the ruler of the unicorn tribe, Gethilius's blood has the most powerful magic to prolong one's life. His horn can also neutralize most poisons … Please don't worry about being cursed after consuming the blood. This is the result of the unicorns' willingness … Oh, sorry, I forgot that you are a master potion maker …"
Allen received the leather pouch with both hands solemnly and fastened it with the buckle on his belt. Then, he took a few steps forward and walked past the centaur to face the unicorns at the bottom of the stairs. After meeting Tina and Gaia's eyes for a few seconds, he nodded slightly and bowed solemnly to them again. This time, he bowed much longer than before.
The wizards around them broke out into a heated discussion. The scenes that they had encountered today were something that they would never have imagined in their entire lives. The wizards whispered excitedly to each other.
"That is the unicorn's blood. No matter how bad the situation is, it can prolong one's life. This gift is too precious and practical for His Majesty Allen Harris. "
"If the blood was obtained by violently killing a unicorn, then from the moment the blood touches the lips, the person who consumes it will have a half-dead life, a cursed life."
"Only a person who has nothing and wants everything would commit such a cruel act like killing a unicorn … No wonder the centaur stabbed his spear into the ground. He wanted to use this method to obtain the unicorn's blood to avoid a possible curse."
… …
Witnessing this scene, the Magi of various countries were all astonished. To the Magi of these countries, the adult centaurs and unicorns were notoriously hard to get close to. It could even be said that they were hostile towards Magi. Hence, it was inconceivable that the prideful and holy unicorns were willing to do such a thing for him.
This touched and influenced many of the sensitive wizards. Some of them wiped away the tears at the corner of their eyes while others prayed to Goddess Ravenclaw in the language of their own country. Even the centaurs and unicorns were working hard to defeat the Grim Reaper. All living beings should unite and increase their strength … Under such circumstances, the wizards were even more confident in defeating the Grim Reaper.
