35. The broken horn of the cowman
The "Orn" in Nana's mouth is the original buyer of these dragon maidens mentioned in the Circus of Coronin before. Before I was in Philorn City, I thought it was just a local rich person, but who knew that it would be someone sent by the City Lord's Mansion to die or not.
Fisher was silent for a second or two, then looked at Nana and said,
"He had his eye on me when he was in Bryan City, so I left him in the ground not far from Bryan City, and I should be able to dig up his bones now."
"You!"
Nana frowned, and was about to speak when Philoon raised her hand to stop her.
It wasn't that Fisher had to rush in front of him, but it was true, and if Orn hadn't been in the city at the time and tried to steal his carriage from him, he would never have killed him. Since there is nothing wrong with him, of course, there is no need to feel guilty, even if it is in the other party's city.
"This matter is too far away, so Nana has to entrust the task to the mercenaries outside the city of Filorn, and it is not uncommon for their quality to be unguaranteed." Philon's tone was much kinder than that of Nana, a cow-race girl, "And since Mr. Fisher has helped us achieve our goal and rescued those dragon-born children, there is nothing to worry about. ”
"Purpose?"
In other words, Philorn's purpose in buying these dragons was to rescue them. But the question is, Fisher deliberately went to find the red dragon race because of the prophecy of the end of the world, and then found Rafael and them, will Philon go to find a group of captured dragon people across half a continent? How did he know this information?
"I had a child with me, named Nar, who was supposed to be caught with your children, and it was he who told me that his companions were still in the hands of the slave traders, so I sent someone to bring them back. Unfortunately, the mercenaries sent there was no news, so I had to send the Naltos back to his tribe first. ”
“... The Lord of Philoon is really generous. ”
Because to fulfill the wish of a subhuman child, it costs thousands of Nari gold coins to cross half the continent to bring back several dragons who have never met. If the Nari government had his courage and kindness, it would not be criticized every day, provided that the Nari government had a healthy financial situation like Filoon.
So, where did the city lord of the Southern Continent come from with so much money?
"Haha, I'll skip the previous things for the time being, and I'll ask Nana to arrange a room for you to stay in the evening. Would you like to visit my lab after dinner, Mr. Fisher? ”
"Oh?" Fisher became intrigued and asked, "What is the current direction of Mr. Philorn's research?" ”
"There are three main directions, steam engine dynamics, ethics and pathology, but now we are mainly working on the third direction... Did you know that there is a unique disease in the Southern Continent? ”
At this moment, hearing Philon's mysterious words, Fisher suddenly thought of the blue mania mentioned by Keken earlier.
"What do you mean. Blue mania? ”
Philoon was stunned for a second, then smiled,
"Blue mania? Good name... Although the name is different, what we should be studying is a condition. Let's let Nana arrange a room for you first, and I just happened to tidy up the laboratory, I don't have the habit of tidying up the laboratory, I'm just afraid that it will be too messy to see. ”
He turned his head to look at Nana beside him, and she immediately got up and said goodbye to Fisher and the others, presumably to make sure that they could live in a room.
Philoon also took his leave and went outside, leaving only Fisher and a few maids in the dining room for the time being.
When he told the Dragonman girls next to him about the discussion and itinerary with Philorn, Ral was still looking at the sleek mechanical toy outside, and he knew what she was thinking.
"Guys, please come this way."
It didn't take long for Nana to appear at the door of the restaurant, and this time when she spoke again, it was actually Fema Baharonting.
"You... Do you speak Longting? ”
Rafael looked at the cow girl in surprise, and the other party smiled and explained,
"Not only Longting, Nali and Niuren, but I also know some of Werewolf and Southern Luotong... There are only two spare rooms left here, and what Mr. Fisher wants to arrange, this girl will probably have to squeeze in with you if necessary..."
Nana looked at Rafael, and with that gentle smile, Rafael panicked,
"I don't want to live with him, I..."
"Ral wants to live with Fisher, Sister Mill and I should go with me. Let Mistress Rafael and Fasher sleep. ”
"Huh?"
Mill's face turned red, too, and he glared at the ral who had run to Fisher's side, as if to blame her for her nonsense.
Nana explained apologetically,
"I'm sorry, because there are a lot of Asian children in the house, and in order to take care of them, Mr. Philoon hired a lot of maids and ladies, so the room is a little tight."
"It's okay, I'll just live in a carriage with them."
"Carriage?"
Although it seems a little strange to live in a carriage, since there are not enough rooms...
If it wasn't necessary, Fisher really didn't want to explain the situation of his carriage to outsiders, such as space magic or something. As a result, before he could speak, Rafael next to him took the lead and said,
"Wait, I'm squeezing Fisher and I..."
Fisher glanced at Rafael's side face next to him, since she was fine, there was no point in being hypocritical by herself, so he also nodded.
So the room was arranged, with Fisher and Rafael in one room, and Mill and them in another.
Nana led Rafael to the second floor with graceful steps, and Rafael, who followed behind, glanced at her light steps from time to time, and from time to time at the broken horn on her head that had been replaced by a golden horn ornament.
"What's wrong?"
Fisher asked.
Rafael glanced at Nana in front of her and whispered,
"I've heard that the horns of the cattle breed are very important, once they are broken, there will be serious consequences, and if one horn is broken, it will basically lose the ability to move, and become extremely depressed, and I am afraid that if two horns are broken..."
Fisher also looked at the broken horn on the other man's head, he had seen in the slave market the captured cattle race, some of which were often sawn off by humans for handicraft because of the beauty of the horns on their heads, and the slaves, as Rafael described, looked like dead people, with no intention of living.
Fisher guessed that the horns of the cattle race have a certain connection with the brain, and once broken and damaged, they will produce feelings of depression and hopelessness. Of course, it is also possible that this is a very deep historical and cultural influence, and the concept of horns is very important in the minds of cattle species, and once you lose your horns, it is no different from dying.
However, Nana in front of her did not have any corresponding symptoms, and looked no different from a normal cattle race, which made Fisher doubt the correctness of the first conclusion.
"This is your room, my room is next to Mr. Philorn's room inside, and if anything happens, you can knock on the door and call me at any time."
There were not many rooms on the second floor, but the largest master bedroom in the innermost part was Philoon's room, and at the door of his room was Nana's bedroom, and then along the corridor some were Fisher's room, and farther was Ral's.
This should not be the originally designed guest room, but designed for the master as a utility room, but because the room is too tight, so I have to clean up for the guest room, and the original guest room downstairs is all for the maid.
"Thank you."
Nana glanced at Fisher, then went downstairs without saying a word, and under the hem of her skirt, a hanging oxtail with blond hair swayed slightly, sticking to her white calves, the same color as her hair.
Fisher arranged for the next Ral, and then returned to his room, where the crimson dragon lady sat on the only bed in the bedroom, her tail curled up in the back of her skirt.
"Go get the futon, you sleep on the floor."
“....”
Rafael opened her mouth and glanced at Fisher before running to the cupboard that Nana had just said and spread the futon on the ground, she wiped her face, and then sat down on the sheets on the ground and said to Fisher,
"I'm going to duel you at night, and I've already figured out how to defeat you!"
Fisher looked at her with a cane,
"What did you think about when you were eating?"
"Yes... And before going into town. ”
"Buckle .."
A knock on the door outside interrupted their conversation, and then the maid's voice was heard, "Mr. Fisher, Lord Castle asked me to come and take you to his laboratory..."
Fisher glanced at Rafael, dragged down his blazer and hung it on the hanger next to him, and said,
"Then you better think about it carefully, remember what I said before, come to the duel tomorrow night, you still owe me a punishment... I'll go out, and you'll be optimistic about them. ”
“.... I know. ”
Rafael pursed his lips and said.
