52. Retaliation
Two horses roared and galloped through the city at night, passing the countless citizens along the way who poked their heads out of curiosity or surprise to look in the direction of the inner city, Fisher leaned against the carriage and calmly looked at the city gate in the distance.
There, the iron-like gates were lowered, blocking their way out of the city.
Rafael sat next to Fisher, and several of his companions behind him had woken up, but because he had just been beaten by the group of zombie cowmen, especially Ral, who was still dizzy.
"Rafael, come here, take this."
Fisher covered his lower abdomen and took out the magic book of Femabaha from his arms. Now that all the magic on his staff has been used up, and the magic on his body is not enough to engrave any more magic, he can only borrow Rafael's magic circuit and engrave a magic spell with her to break through the city gate.
"Fisher, I don't engrave magic."
Rafael pursed his lips and looked under Fisher, only to see that the place where he was sitting was soaked with blood from the wound on his body, and his face was quite pale, but he still looked at Rafael very seriously without saying a word.
"I'll teach you how to engrave it, and feel free to go inside and get a book out there."
Rafael nodded, and pulled a thin book from Fisher's bookshelf, Fisher didn't have time to prepare additional magic materials, so he could only continue to let Rafael use his own blood.
He pulled Rafael's trembling paw against his wound, then took her grip on it, using her sharp claws as a carving knife and a book as an object.
Rafael saw Fisher's body open because of the movement, and the dozen or so holes in his suit were all oozing blood, as if she felt the same way, and her paws trembled slightly.
"Concentrate, Rafael."
Fisher's voice was still flat, just much quieter than before.
"Hmm."
She forced herself not to look at the wound on his body, and just looked down at the book.
"The difficulty of engraving dragonman magic is that during the engraving process, there will be an unstable [collapse] phenomenon when the magic is released, which requires continuous merging of magic to stabilize the entire coat of arms."
Just as he had taught Renee before, in Fisher's whispered teaching, he pulled Rafael's fingers to slowly carve sharp lines into the book.
"Don't strain your body, let the magic flow naturally within you."
The magic circuit of the dragon race is much rougher than that of humans, and the magic engraved this one uses Rafael's magic power, and this time the coat of arms reacts even more violently than the first time, and the coat of arms is about to light up into a light bulb, and it is forming quickly, but the book begins to heat up as if it can't withstand the power of the coat of arms.
Seeing that the book was about to burn, Fisher told Rafael to quickly throw the thing in the direction of the city gate, and Rafael did not hesitate to throw the book at the gate.
The book collapsed into a small space in mid-air, causing a series of insubstantial ripples, and as before, the violent heat instantly swept through the closed door, and by the time the flames disappeared, the gate had completely disappeared, and even the surrounding doorway was burned black.
"Wait, someone's out of town!"
"It's a carriage! Captain, do you want to stop them?! ”
"Stop it, didn't you see that explosion? Whoever of you wants to send to death will go, there is an accident in the city lord's mansion, if you have the courage, follow me to the city lord's office first..."
"Captain, do you want to..."
"Shut up!"
There was a commotion in the city, and Fisher gripped the reins through the smoke into the wilderness outside the city. The wilderness was cold and quiet at night, and when the carriage had rushed out of the city of Philoon for a long time, he looked back at the city of Philoon that was burning in the night, and then relaxed.
There's been so much going on tonight, at least it's safe for now.
As soon as the thought came to him, Fisher felt that the sharp pain and exhaustion in his body were about to crush him, and his hand holding the reins loosened slightly, and he was about to fall out of the carriage with his eyes closed, but fortunately Rafael hurriedly reached out and grabbed him.
She hurriedly hugged Fisher, and the moment she touched Fisher, the scales on her body fell and became so supple that he would not be caught when he entered Rafael's arms.
"Fee... Fisher. ”
Rafael looked down, only to see that he had closed his eyes, seemed to be unconscious, and was quietly leaning into his arms.
His face was originally white, but he had some stubble during the journey to the southern continent, and his face was a little pale, but he was as quiet as an unsuspecting child.
Looking at Fisher's sleeping face, Rafael didn't know why her face suddenly turned red, she just thought that Fisher in this state was cute, and the stinky face he put on during the day was simply two extremes.
Well...
The nose, ears, and mouth are also cute...
Rafael hugged Fisher tightly, his tail wagging behind him, if only this guy had been as good during the day as he had been when he slept.
"How's Lord Fisher?"
Mill, who was in the carriage behind him, was still relieved, and opened the door of the carriage to inquire, only to see Rafael who was holding Fisher and playing with his black hair.
Rafael's body stiffened suddenly, and he was a little shy and subconsciously wanted to throw Fisher out, but the next second he realized that it was in the car, but fortunately he didn't throw him down. In Mill's sight, she hesitated for a long time, and finally shyly hugged Fisher tightly.
"He... He's hurt. By the way, I remember there was a strip of white cloth in his room to treat wounds, can you help me find it, Mill? ”
But Mill didn't reply to her, just stared blankly at Rafael at this moment, looking incredulous.
"Pull... Lord Rafael..."
"How.."
Rafael froze for a second, looking down at his completely low scales and his wagging tail. Mill was a woman with a tail-fitting partner, and she rightfully knew what was going on with Rafael. There was a quiet voice in the room that night, and at the time Mill and the others thought Fisher was experimenting or Nana and Philoon's voices.
But at that time, Mill had already guessed that something was wrong with Rafael and Fisher, and that Lal and they were children who didn't understand, but Mill, the only adult, couldn't hide it.
"Secret... Mill, go get the strip of cloth for him first, we... We'll get to that later. ”
"Ah, well... I'll go. ”
After Mill had run into the carriage and given the children a casual explanation, she hurried out with her bandages in her hand.
Rafael laid Fisher's body flat on the ground, then reached out to remove his clothes, and looked back at Mill staring at Fisher's body, for some reason she was a little unhappy...
No, it's a wound treatment now!!
Rafael wrapped Fisher's body around Fisher with a bandage, and after making sure that there were no unnecessary wounds, she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to see Mill staring at Fisher's body with a ruddy face.
"Mill!"
"Ah, he's strong... Oh, no, no! I mean... That..."
Mill's eyes turned to mosquito coils, and he waved his hands quickly, not looking at Rafael, who was a little angry in front of him.
The wind in the wilderness was cold, and Rafael was afraid that Fisher would catch a cold, so he forcibly and shyly hugged Fisher back into his arms in front of Mill, so that he could feel the warmth of the dragonman.
She awkwardly sniffed Fisher's breathing and was relieved to make sure his breathing was steady, and her tail relaxed.
"Lord Rafael, he's human, not like the Dragonmen. They don't have a suitable tail partner, and now they are the only ones with us in the Southern Continent, but what about when they go back? There must be other human females around him, the ones who are dressed nicely and hold little fans. ”
Rafael glanced down at the only piece of clothing on her body that Fisher had given herself, it was plain, and it was dirty from the battle just now, and her arms were beautifully smooth scales, but the humans did not....
"Humans look down on us, even if Fisher is not like other humans, but when he returns to his tribe... No, it's in the group he lives in, and other humans will look down on you, and eventually he will look down on you. ”
Rafael just hugged Fisher and didn't say a word.
"I won't let him look down on me, I'm Rafael, and one day, I'll stand in front of him in the open, and tell all subhumans, all humans, that he's my tail-fitting companion."
Her face was calm, and a spontaneous confidence overflowed from her body, and when she saw Rafael like this, Mill's previous worries and worries were completely gone.
Yes, she's Lord Rafael, and I should believe her.
"I see, then I'll go back and see the Ralls first, and Ralle always said that his head hurt and that he wanted to eat the bread in Fisher's room..."
Mill pushed open the door and entered, leaving Rafael and Fisher in front of the door.
She looked down at Fisher in her arms, remembering how badly he had bullied her before, so she poked his finger in the face as if in revenge. After a while, I was attracted by the Adam's apple in his throat and went to touch him again. After a while, I felt comfortable touching his hair, and I touched his head again.
In short, I just can't get tired of playing.
Wait, what am I doing?!
Isn't that the same as that childish ghost in Ral?!
Rafael's face turned ruddy, and he suddenly felt that his current behavior was childish, and he had... It's an adult, an adult dragon man with a suitable tail!
She blushed and thought for a long time, turned her head to look at the closed car door, and after making sure that there was no one around, she picked up a strand of her hair and pinned it behind her ear, and then gently leaned down and kissed the corner of Fisher's mouth.
Wisps of steam were thrown off by the carriage as Rafael's shyness when he was thrown away.
Anyway, no one sees it now, much... There's nothing wrong with touching him and hugging him.
It was taken as revenge for him bullying himself before.
