"Alright, this place is temporarily separated from the outside world, and it's spacious enough for a test."
Leyton explained, bringing everyone who was stunned by the scene back to their senses.
"Is this your Beyonder ability? What is this place? It's too beautiful to be the real world!"
Audrey was completely captivated by the fairytale-like scenery and asked several questions in a row.
"This is an isolated Utopia, a scene temporarily materialized through a Beyonder ability. Just like its name suggests, it's a fantasy and isolated from the outside world."
Leyton was also using Mystical Reenactment for the first time and was equally curious about the environment.
"An isolated Utopia? What a peculiar name."
Fors sighed, thinking she should note down the name for her future writing material.
"This is what I imagined a Beyonder would be like!"
Viscount Glaint couldn't help but exclaim, his gaze at Leyton becoming fervent.
After admiring the surrounding scenery for a moment, Audrey quickly composed herself and refocused her attention on the unicorn sculpture in her hand.
She tried to infuse a portion of her spirituality into the unicorn sculpture, but nothing happened. Audrey had no choice but to continue infusing spirituality.
It wasn't until she had consumed about half of her spirituality that the unicorn sculpture in her hand turned into specks of starlight, leaving her grasp and re-coalescing in front of her into a unicorn nearly as tall as an adult.
The unicorn's white fur was tinged with a faint gold in the sunlight, and it had a long, spiraled, crystal-like horn on its head, and wings made of tiny, crystalline flakes on its back.
The unicorn raised its front hooves and let out a loud, clear sound towards the sky.
A bright, radiant, warm, and sacred pure light descended from the sky onto everyone present. A warm, comfortable feeling permeated their hearts, and everyone felt their bodies and minds had been Purified.
"Summon Holy Light! It's a bit different, also mixed with life force. It's a mutated version."
Leyton quickly analyzed the unicorn's ability.
Audrey approached the unicorn she had summoned with some curiosity. She could feel a faint connection between herself and the unicorn; it seemed to be very fond of her.
After Audrey approached, the unicorn humanely bowed, inviting Audrey to sit on its back.
"Can I?"
Audrey sensed the unicorn's wish, her voice filled with surprise and joy.
The unicorn nodded, making a clear sound, and invited Audrey again.
Audrey carefully sat on the unicorn's back. The unicorn immediately stood up, spread its wings shimmering in the sunlight, and began to gallop quickly. As it ran, it flapped its wings and soon flew into the air, circling the group twice.
Audrey, flying on the unicorn's back, was initially a bit scared, but then she found that a gentle wind was constantly supporting her, keeping her in a comfortable posture.
"This is too much. Is this figurine a simp-horse?"
Leyton stood on the ground, watching this scene and couldn't help but inwardly grumble about the unicorn that played favorites.
Just now, when he tried to approach it, he was blocked by a gentle wind, yet it immediately turned around and took Audrey for a stroll in the air.
Leyton glanced at Xio, who, like him, was kept away by the unicorn, and gave a friendly smile:
"Unicorns represent nobility, arrogance, and purity. Those who don't possess these qualities will be repelled by it."
"So, you were also repelled?"
Xio asked Leyton with a serious expression.
"Evidently." Leyton nodded in response.
Upon hearing his reply, Xio breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought this unicorn had only repelled her. If that were the case, she felt her image in the minds of Fors and Miss Audrey would probably crumble.
"Xio, why don't you come over?"
Fors, who was closely admiring the unicorn that seemed to have stepped out of a fairytale, noticed her friend staying far away and asked curiously.
Xio felt a little awkward. She glanced at Leyton, who was also repelled by the unicorn like her, and then maintained her inner balance:
"I'll just wait for you here."
After the unicorn descended from the air, Viscount Glaint and Fors also wanted to ride it, but they were all pushed away by a gentle wind.
Leyton, watching this scene from the side, nodded imperceptibly:
"This is more like it. If even Viscount Glaint and Fors could ride the unicorn, I'd really have to melt it down and remake it."
The Utopia did not last too long, dissipating after about three minutes. Leyton and the others reappeared in Viscount Glaint's Library. Leyton directly turned the unicorn back into a figurine through sealing.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Audrey. I have a clear understanding of all the information about this unicorn figurine, which is much more complete than what I could have obtained through divination."
Leyton turned to Audrey and bowed slightly in thanks.
Audrey quickly waved her hand and said somewhat shyly:
"No, it's nothing, it's just a trivial help."
"You underestimate yourself too much. Finding someone the unicorn figurine doesn't repel might not be too difficult, but finding someone it actively wants to be close to, you're the only one I can think of."
Leyton did not hesitate to praise Audrey, after all, she was the first person this aloof unicorn figurine wanted to be close to.
"I will fulfill my promise and teach you the ritual magic to summon a unicorn projection."
"But before that, you need to understand a new system."
After spending some effort explaining the Spirit World Sorcerer system to Audrey and the others in the Library, Leyton directly showed the ring behind him to them, and then taught them how to communicate with the main body of the ring located in the Spirit World Depths through meditation.
Viscount Glaint, the only ordinary person present, stood aside, enviously watching Audrey, who had already become a Beyonder. They were companions, yet Audrey had secretly become a Beyonder, and she only told him today.
He glanced at Xio, who was sitting on a chair nearby, casually flipping through a book. Viscount Glaint walked over with some apprehension and asked:
"Mr. Xio, do you know the Apothecary Pathway potion formula?"
"Apothecary? I only know the main ingredients, not the specific potion formula. However, I do know where to find it, if you don't mind waiting for a while."
"Alternatively, you could consider other Pathways, such as Reader, or Seer, or even a Spectator like Miss Audrey, or perhaps a Bard and a Seer? I know most of the potion formulas for these Pathways."
Leyton looked at the viscount, who was determined to become a Apothecary, and offered him other Pathway options.
"So many? What kind of Pathways are Mystery Pryer, Seer, and Reader?"
Viscount Glaint had no idea the other party would offer so many options at once.
"A Reader, as the name suggests, is good at reading and can master a lot of knowledge. A Mystery Pryer is similar, also a Pathway focused on mastering knowledge. As for a Seer, well, let's skip that one, it probably wouldn't suit you."
Leyton briefly explained to him.
"Good at reading? Mastering knowledge?…"
"I still prefer Apothecary a bit more."
Viscount Glaint compared these Pathways in his mind and ultimately decided to stick with the Apothecary Pathway.
Viscount Glaint looked at Leyton with anticipation:
"Xio, can you tell me the main ingredients for the Apothecary first? You can tell me the rest when you get the Apothecary potion formula. I can pay for this formula now."
"Alright. The main ingredients are an adult Unicorn Pegasus horn and 3 grams of crown jellyfish poison crystal. As for the price, it's 200 pounds."
Leyton didn't mind earning an extra sum, though The Fool would earn a bit less.
"Unicorn Pegasus horn and crown jellyfish poison crystal? Okay, I'll give you the money later."
Knowing the main ingredients for the Apothecary potion, Viscount Glaint felt one step closer to becoming a Apothecary, and his mood brightened.
"With the potion formula I gave you, you only need to persist in meditation and take the potion. Even ordinary people can become Spirit World Sorcerer. This system was originally created to allow ordinary people to master Beyonder abilities."
Leyton reminded him. No ordinary person around him had yet become a Spirit World Sorcerer through potions and meditation. Leyton was quite hopeful that Viscount Glaint would do so, as it would allow him to observe the changes in ordinary people after they came into contact with Beyonder powers.
"I will."
Viscount Glaint nodded. He certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to come into contact with Beyonder powers in advance.
While Leyton and Viscount Glaint were conversing, Audrey and the others had already successfully established contact with the ring within the Library in the Spirit World Depths, officially becoming Spirit World Sorcerer.
"I feel like my Beyonder abilities have been strengthened to some extent."
Fors said with great surprise, her words full of joy.
"Really? Why don't I feel anything?"
Xio didn't feel any of what her friend described.
"I'm pretty much the same."
Audrey agreed with Xio.
"This is the privilege of the Apprentice Pathway."
Leyton offered an explanation.
In the Spirit World Sorcerer system, which is based on the Spirit World, Seer, Apprentice, and Marauder all have certain privileges as the three Pathways under Sefirah Castle.
