94. Black market
Surrounded by the current of La Masia, Fisher's breath seemed to be deprived, and his nose was full of salty seawater.
He first felt the world spinning, and then he felt as if there was a bottomless darkness around him, and countless pressures came from his body, as if a large hand had dragged him into a bottomless abyss.
But in the next moment, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, his body floated in the direction of the water, rushing straight out of the sea that had imprisoned him.
Then, as if he had woken up from a drowning state, Fisher greedily breathed in the outside air.
He was soaking wet, and he didn't know where Ramastia had teleported them, all he knew was that he was floating in the water.
His surroundings were dark, and it wasn't until Fisher's eyes had adjusted to the darkness for a while that he felt familiar.
Isn't this the swimming pool of St. Nari University? I've hunted Jasmine here before.
It turned out that La Masia had teleported them directly to the University of San Narry.
In the pool behind him, Shiraki slowly floated out of the water with Reina in his arms, and they didn't have the same symptoms as Fisher drowning, so they looked at him with concern.
"Mr. Fisher, are you alright?"
"It's okay..."
Fisher coughed lightly, then wiped his face and swam to shore.
Looking back, the pool was very quiet, and there was the big crab Haru who was swimming backwards, but he couldn't see the pesky Ramastia anymore.
And Reina and Shiraki have both changed back into human form, and it should be that Ramatia added blessings to them when they were transferred just now.
"Wait here, I'll go to Jasmine..."
Fisher took off his coat and wrung out a large pile of water, then slung the rag-like coat over his shoulders and said to the two subhumans behind him.
He was all wet, and he had to go to his faculty dormitory to change his clothes.
After getting the nod from Shiraki and Reina, he climbed out of the window of the swimming pool, and the main entrance of the swimming pool was locked at night, so he didn't have to worry about other people coming here to find Shiraki and them.
After returning to her dormitory to change her clothes, Fisher went to the bottom of Jasmine's dormitory, informed her through the dormitory manager, and soon saw Jasmine in a plain black dress hurrying down, which was not as formal as she wore during the day, but more like the nightdress she wore in the boudoir.
It's late now, and it is estimated that she was about to rest just now, but was called down by Fisher,
"Mr. Fisher?"
"Your partner was attacked and is now being taken to the swimming pool by Ramastia, come with me to check it out... Another subhuman was captured. ”
"Reina, them?! I... I'll go over now. ”
After hearing this, Jasmine showed a nervous look, and hurriedly followed Fisher to the swimming pool, where she saw Bai Mu, who was covered in injuries, and Xiao Rena beside her.
"Heaven Descends"
When Bai Mu saw Jasmine, he immediately stood up apologetically and saluted her, saying,
"Imperial Family, I'm very sorry, I don't know why our whereabouts have been exposed, causing you trouble..."
"Why are you giving me trouble? You came ashore because of me... The most important thing now is to rescue Mr. Lingjiu first.. Don't move yet. ”
Jasmine showed a somewhat guilty look, and after speaking softly, she stretched out a finger and pointed at Shiraki, and as the light in her eyes flowed, the wound on Shiraki's body gradually healed, and finally returned to the way it was before the injury.
Shiraki looked at his restored body in amazement, and said with gratitude,
"Thank you so much, Lord Jasmine."
Jasmine shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and only after confirming that Rena was not injured did she withdraw her fingers.
Jasmine knows that in human society, they are not friendly to subhumans, so she will transform into a human form to avoid inconvenience, and fortunately, Mr. Fisher did not reveal her identity, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.
She glanced at Fisher beside her, and then asked Shiraki and them,
"Do you know where Mr. Lingjiu was arrested? We've got to find a way to get him back..."
Shiraki and Reina didn't know anything about it, and before they could shake their heads, Fisher beside him spoke,
"It's a bounty hunter who is chasing them, and someone must have posted a bounty on the black market, so now Reina's father should have been taken to the black market. The Black Market is deep in the streets of Snakehead, very far from here, and there are plenty of bounty hunters there, but it shouldn't be difficult to bring him back with some care..."
Hearing Fisher's words, Shiraki's eyes lit up slightly, and then she hurriedly called for Haru in the pool to swim over and take the bag tied under its belly in her hand.
When I opened the bag, I saw that it contained a lot of gold and sea artefacts, similar to necklaces and bracelets. The work is so beautiful that it doesn't look like it's from a human being.
In Fisher's puzzled gaze, Shiraki picked up the bag to Fisher, and pleaded sincerely to Fisher,
"Mr. Fisher, though this is an excessively requested. But can you still ask for your help in bringing Reina's father back from those humans? As a reward, these are some of the possessions that we have left in the sea over the years, and I don't know how much they are worth on land, but if not enough, some on the bottom of the sea..."
Shiraki wanted to use the gold and ornaments to ask Fisher to help them return to their mother and daughter's father, but Fisher glanced at her pitiful expression, reached out and pulled out a beautifully crafted bracelet from the bag, and then took the jewelry into his arms and stood up.
"I see, then I'll take the pay... You're here to recuperate, Jasmine..."
Just keep a unique gift for Renee as a gift when she returns, and don't want anything else like gold.
But then again, is there a lot of gold at the bottom of the sea? Why, Jasmine, many of the goods they brought ashore were made of gold...
"I'm going with Mr. Fisher! I can help! ”
As soon as Fisher finished speaking, Jasmine looked at Fisher and responded.
At the same time, her body gradually changed back to the appearance of the whale race, and only in this way can she exert the fighting ability of the whale race, after all, her destructive power in magic Fisher is still very impressive.
Fisher nodded and was about to agree, but when his eyes fell on her, he froze.
It turned out that she was now wearing a close-fitting dress that resembled pajamas, and the tail behind her lifted the hem of the skirt behind her as soon as it appeared.
Through the faint moonlight outside, the close-fitting dress took up space because of the tail, so that the curves of her body were clearly captured by Fisher.
And since Fisher told her that she was about to go to bed, of course she wouldn't wear any other clothes inside...
One second.. Or after two seconds, Fisher looked away calmly, not looking at her body, and looking at what a gentleman of Saint-Nari would do.
"Wow!"
Jasmine, who quickly realized what was happening, turned red instantly, she quickly covered her body, her flipper-like ears fanned one by one, and in the darkness Fisher could only see a little fluorescence on her ears and smell the surging fragrance of flowers coming from her.
She was always careless, so bent on going with Fisher to save Reina's father, and even forgetting that now she would go away when she changed back to her original form.
"Hold... I'm sorry! ”
She glanced at Fisher shyly, and hurriedly ran to the box where the clothes were stored next to the pool, and took out the cloak that Fisher had seen before and draped it over to hide her body and inhuman appearance.
It turned out that she hid this outgoing clothes in the swimming pool, and when she wanted to go out, she would come back to the swimming pool to change her cloak, and she needed to use the water to change back into a human anyway.
After waiting for her to put on the cloak, she no longer had to worry about going away.
She walked back wrapped in her cloak with some shame, her face flushed, and she did not dare to look at Fisher at all.
But as always, Fisher didn't bring up the kind of topic that would be embarrassing for both of them, he just coughed lightly and said,
"It's night, and there's no carriage to get to the Serpent's Tavern, can you ask Ramastia to help us get there?"
Fisher felt a little empty when he said this.
The main reason is that Ramastia is a god, and her own gang calls her every day either to let her help cover her face or to use modern steps, you see that the believers of the Kadu Church treat the non-existent Mother God with respect, and even more so in order to reach the seat of the Mother Goddess, they have to engage in artificial witches, not to mention how pious.
This makes this real god seem a little... Well, it's too kind and amiable, but it doesn't seem like she's a god, but more like an underwater friend with a little temper.
After hearing this, Reina danced excitedly at Jasmine and said,
"Lord Jasmine, just now Fisher actually summoned Lord Ramastia with the flow of water! Really, it was Lord Ramastia who sent us here, and Fisher is amazing! My mother and I called out to Master Ramastia and she couldn't hear me. ”
Jasmine looked surprised when she heard this, then looked at Fisher and smiled,
"It seems that Master Ramastia likes Teacher Fisher very much, otherwise she would not have responded to other people's calls easily... This also shows that her eyes are always on you, and only the life she chooses has such treatment. ”
No... Why do I think she doesn't like me very much?
Fisher thought so, but when he heard the word "gaze" described by Jasmine, Fisher suddenly thought of the huge eye he had seen in the Southern Continent.
The thing praised itself and said "I owe myself a favor"... If Fisher didn't misunderstand what he meant.
But Fisher didn't even know how to contact that big eye, let alone how to get that inexplicably promised favor back.
When Fisher first studied soul magic, he had felt a terrifying existence in his soul's vision that was watching him all the time, could that existence be the huge eye or Ramastia from before?
Fisher had never seen Lamastia in all his face, but when he saw that huge eye, he did have an indescribable fear from the inside out, and it was difficult to describe it on any level.
He thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have anything special, except for the two supplementary manuals in his arms, he should be just a human being with normal psychology and orientation.
Is it really for the sake of these two manuals in his arms?
Following this logic, they should also choose a manual holder like Philorn, so why did the big eye thank him after killing Philorn?
So what did Ramastia choose herself for, according to Jasmine?
You know, the Fluid Sword was given to her by Ramastia before the attack on the Schwali delegation, so the reason for her concern is definitely not that she "offended" her and held a grudge against herself...
After thinking about the possible reasons for his "divine choice", Fisher, who had several conjectures but was not sure, had to turn his attention back to reality.
Jasmine in front of her gently reached into the pool and called out to La Masia again, and the water snake responded to her request once again cordially, appearing from the pool and looking at Jasmine squatting on the edge of the pool.
Sure enough, Ramastia is really a god who doesn't have any force at all, and he is still the kind that is on call!
Fisher sneered, and in the next second, the water snake seemed to know their thoughts, and stretched out two palms made of water to Fisher and Jasmine.
As the current approached Fisher, the location of his destination automatically flashed through his mind, as if the thought had come to him on its own.
Then, as if to determine the direction of the water, it wrapped Jasmine and Fisher separately, and disappeared in place.
Originally, Fisher thought that he was going to enter the deep water again as before, so he was ready to hold his breath in advance, but this time there was only a feeling of weightlessness, and after a second or two, Fisher felt like he had landed.
“...”
Wait, so drowning and writhing under the water before was also part of that Ramastia's revenge, right?
After arriving at his destination, Fisher looked down at the dry suit on his face with black lines, and instantly understood Ramastia's thoughts, that guy is not bad in front of Jasmine, he looks friendly, and he can do it to himself in private, right?
Yes, there is yours, Ramastia.
"Mr. Fisher?"
It was a little dark all around, some light fell from above, and the height was not high, and Fisher could not stand up straight, but could only stand half-bent.
After hearing Jasmine's soft and glutinous whisper beside him, he lightly lit his cane, and Jasmine's beautiful red face suddenly appeared in front of Fisher, and his eyes looked straight at him.
But when Fisher looked over, she quickly looked away a little more, pretending to look at her surroundings, but if you look closely, you will find that she is actually secretly looking at you.
It's a shy little whale, and even more so behind her long ears.
"Where are we?"
Fisher listened to the faint sound of water outside, and knew that they were somewhere in the streets of the snakehead, and it was the sound of an underground river.
He looked around with his glowing cane and saw that they seemed to be under the floor of a building now.
Many of the buildings in Shetou Street are made of wood, and the people here do not have many good conditions to build such good houses as outside, and the general requirement is to be able to live in them, and only certain shops or gangsters will be slightly better.
And now they should be under a store.
Above them, there was a faint sound of footsteps and conversations, and Fisher raised a hand to silence Jasmine,
"Thank you, sir, do you need me to turn off the lights?"
"No need, come over quickly, I'll have to go back to the market later..."
"Yes, please wait..."
After the words, there was the sound of Suosuo's clothes falling to the ground.
Jasmine blinked and didn't know what to do, but Fisher realized something, and he reached out and grabbed Jasmine and began to lean to the side.
When he reached the edge of the floor, Fisher realized that the prostitution parlor was standing on the edge of a cliff in an underground cavern, and looking through the gap in the wooden planks in the direction of the underground river, he could directly see many caves carved out of the rock below, and there were fires in them.
Above the rock wall is the main body of the Snake Head Street, and there are many buildings next to it.
The glowing cave is where the underground black market in Snakehead Street is located, and it seems that a gang of Nari is running it behind it, and it is especially lively today, and many mercenaries are entering and exiting the cave.
While Fisher was looking, on the snakehead street above the cave, a carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, and there were many strong men next to the carriage, which was not easy to see.
The carriage is a rare thing in the streets of Snakehead, only those who are allowed by the gang can drive in, and now that the carriage appears there, could it be the single owner who has placed a bounty on the capture of the Ocean Asians?
Fisher looked at the situation over there, Reina's father should be in the black market in the cave, and he was thinking about how to get Reina's father out.
"Oh... Yes, yes, there it is. ”
“...”
Above the plank, a man's voice sounded, and Jasmine blinked, looking up in confusion, and the light fell at the same time as the landscape, and then she looked at the situation above and froze.
She opened her mouth slightly, and the cherry blossom began to spread from her neck, as if the door of a new world was opening to her, and the image full of holy light made her quite shy, but she was very curious, so she kept staring at it.
Fisher looked back and noticed her movements, and wordlessly reached out and pressed her raised head down, forcing her not to look at the "fierce battle" above.
She covered her eyes with a blushing face and silently followed Fisher's back.
The two of them approached the plank facing the black market in the cave on the other side of the cliff, and with Fisher's excellent eyesight, he saw a lady with a hat and a very conservative Nari dress get out of the carriage and walk into the black market in the cavern, followed by many strong men with him.
It was Anna whom Fisher had ever met.
