Chapter 143: A gamble
Gervis didn't know that the unicorn was engaged in a fierce struggle in its brain at that moment, which led to the reaction he saw.
When Gervis and the unicorn came face to face, the mark in the unicorn's mind conveyed to it that the human in front of it was its master, making it submit to Gervis and get close to him. However, the self-thinking that still remained in the unicorn's mind told it that it was a magical beast, and the noblest among the low-level magical beasts. It could only die standing up and there was no reason to kneel down and acknowledge its master. The remaining sanity indicated that the unicorn must kill Gervis to end all this.
So with such confused thinking, the unicorn sometimes looked at Gervis with hatred, and sometimes wanted to get close to Gervis.
"Could it be the effect of the unicorn eating the kiwi fruit?"
As the unicorn was spinning in place and shaking its head, Gervis combined the spiritual connection between the unicorn and himself and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Could this purple kiwi fruit make the monster recognize its master?"
Gervis was slightly excited. If he could really make the monster recognize its master, then the 10 energy points he spent to exchange for the purple kiwi fruit would not be a loss, but a big profit.
Warcraft creatures have magical powers, can cast spells, and are physically strong. It is very dangerous for ordinary titled knights of the same level to encounter them. Take the unicorn in front of him for example. If there is no trap set and Gervis is forced to fight the unicorn alone, he would not dare to do so even if he has ten times the courage. At least he would never seek death in front of a high-level bronze knight, because he would not even have a chance to save his life.
And Gervis was extremely lucky when he encountered the Storm Wolf last time. The Storm Wolf was already old and weak, so other Storm wolves robbed it of its position as the leader of the pack and then drove it out of the pack, which gave him the advantage.
Just after Gervis made his guess, the unicorn over there made a different move. The unicorn's eyes remained red and it glared at Gervis. It was moving towards Gervis with its hooves and breathing heavily.
"Oh my god, what should I choose now? Should I throw the bomb? Or should I throw the remaining purple kiwi fruit?"
Seeing the unicorn's movements and appearance, Gervis also became nervous. He didn't need to look at the unicorn's appearance to know that it wanted to fight him to the death.
Gervis now had only two choices: either throw the grenade and follow the original plan to see if he could kill the unicorn and obtain its meat and horn.
Another option is to throw the remaining purple kiwi fruit in his hand to the unicorn to eat it and see if his guess is correct. If it is correct, he may be recognized as the master by a magical beast and become the master of this golden little fighter in the future!
But if Gervis guessed wrong, not only would he lose the remaining purple kiwifruit, but he would also have to go back to the first option, use a grenade to blow up the unicorn, and then fight it again.
"Whatever, let's give it a try. The pony turns into a monster, so why not give it a try!"
Finally, when the unicorn was about to get within 15 meters of Gervis, Gervis made up his mind, which was to choose the second option, throwing the purple kiwi fruit to the unicorn to eat and see if Boss Rongguang would protect him today.
In fact, Gervis was willing to give it a try because when he first met the unicorn, he had no spiritual connection with it. But after the unicorn robbed him of half a kiwi fruit, he had this connection. Gervis was almost sure that this purple kiwi fruit could make the unicorn sign a contract with him. The reason why the spiritual connection was vague now was because the unicorn did not eat the whole kiwi fruit.
Gervis raised most of the purple kiwi in his right hand and threw it hard in front of the unicorn. The unicorn, whose eyes were bloodshot and ready to fight to the death with Gervis, was stunned when he saw the kiwi suddenly appear in front of him. He looked at Gervis, then lowered his head to smell the purple kiwi, and immediately chose to swallow the kiwi first.
After all, when the unicorn first arrived, he had already noticed the abnormality in his mind, but because of the fatal temptation of the purple kiwi fruit, he did not choose to escape.
Although the purple kiwi fruit was the size of a grapefruit, the unicorn swallowed it completely in just two bites as it gnawed it impatiently. The unicorn even licked the juice on the ground with its tongue.
"Phew, Boss Rongguang, please bless me! I've spent all my 10 energy points on this big idiot!"
Seeing the unicorn swallow the purple kiwi fruit in just a few bites, Gervis' heart was bleeding. After all, he originally wanted to exchange the kiwi fruit for himself to eat, but he didn't expect that in the end, it all went to the unicorn in front of him.
Gervis now hopes that his guess will be accurate, so that the 10 energy points he worked so hard to obtain will not be wasted.
But things didn't seem to go as Gervis had imagined.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Suddenly, just as Gervis was constantly praying for blessings from various big guys, the unicorn moved again and continued to approach Gervis. Although the bloodshot in its eyes had faded a lot, Gervis could feel that the unicorn's hostility towards him still existed.
15 meters, 13 meters...11 meters...
With every step the unicorn took, Gervis' heartache became more intense, because the red line he set for the unicorn was 9 meters. As long as the unicorn crossed the distance within 9 meters, Gervis would light the grenade and throw it out without hesitation, because if it was closer, he would probably get hurt by the grenade.
As for not throwing the grenade, that is absolutely impossible. Gervis can bet with purple kiwi fruit, but he will not bet with his own life, so no matter whether his guess is right or not, it doesn’t matter as long as the unicorn steps within nine meters.
10 meters...
When the unicorn approached to within 10 meters, Gervis' heart skipped a beat, because at this moment his spiritual connection with the unicorn was still vague, and he did not have any feeling of recognizing the master or signing a contract.
"It seems that this time we have lost both the lady and the army. I'm sorry!"
Gervis no longer hesitated, and with a ruthless heart, he slowly moved the fuse of the grenade in his right hand towards the incendiary object fixed on the branch.
9 meters!

Suddenly, when Gervis' fuse was still three or four centimeters away from the fire starter, Gervis' hand trembled, because he suddenly felt a spiritual wave of closeness in his heart.
"Is it you?"
When this extremely clear wave reverberated in Gervis' heart, the unicorn also stopped, and its eyes slowly changed from its original ferocious look to a gentle one. When Gervis asked, both the unicorn's expression and the mental fluctuations in its heart remained consistent, giving Gervis a feeling of intimacy and dependence.
"Haha, I succeeded! It's not easy for a pony to transform into a monster! From now on, I will be the man riding a monster!"
Gervis quickly retracted the grenade, looked at the unicorn with strange eyes, and slowly approached the unicorn. The unicorn was also very well-behaved, staying where it was without moving, just slowly lowering its originally proud head.
"Good baby!"
Looking at the handsome unicorn in front of him and stroking its thick and smooth mane, Gervis couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know whether he was sighing at the powerful effect of the purple kiwi fruit or the beauty of the unicorn.
