96. Waves
In the quiet swimming pool at night, Reina lay on the back of the large crab Haru suspended in the pool, looking through the glass at the night sky outside, the clouds outside were thick and gloomy, and only a ray of moonlight fell to the ground through the barrier.
Looking at the bright moonlight, Reina asked,
"Mom, Daddy, can he come back?"
"We should trust the royal family and Mr. Fisher, and the guidance of Lord Ramastia..."
Although Shiraki had tried her best to comfort her child, the sensitive Reina was keenly aware of the uncertainty in her mother's words.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she stared at the pool below her, but Haru sensed the little master's uneasiness and spit out some bubbles to comfort her.
"Gollum~"
"Thank you, Haru... I also think they will succeed. β
Haru lowered his head and stopped "speaking", but Reina found that the bubbles under Haru still did not stop, but became more and more urgent.
She sat up in a panic, and in the next second, a huge column of water suddenly rose from the pool, placing Fisher, Jasmine, and Reijiu on the shore next to the pool.
"Daddy!"
Seeing that the unconscious Reijiu was sent back, Reina and Shiraki both ran to his side excitedly.
Jasmine clutched her chest and gasped, and her body gradually changed back to her human form with the blessing of Ramastia.
Fisher, on the other hand, leaned against the wall and watched the family of three reunite, resting and thinking about what she had done when she had come into contact with Anna on the streets of Snakehead.
At that time, she recognized herself, what did she rely on?
She didn't reveal her appearance, and deliberately whispered to hide her original voice, but she still recognized that she was Fisher, did she rely on the smell?
Because she had just been washed by La Masia, she should have had a lot of ordinary smells, and if she could still rely on this smell to distinguish herself, was it possible that it was useless to cover up the perfume when she and Trandle went to the Pink Pavilion?
Fisher pondered as the current on the edge of the pool gradually changed into the shape of a giant serpent made of swirling currents, and looked down at Jasmine on the shore.
β....β
The water swirled lowly, and Jasmine also looked up at Ramastia at the same time, obviously Fisher didn't hear anything, but Jasmine pursed her lips and nodded from time to time, and the white wood next to her was also at a loss, obviously unable to hear anything.
Only the whale species could hear Lamastia's voice, and the rest of the creatures could only judge her thoughts by the bubbles that bubbled up when she appeared.
After a long time, Jasmine showed a somewhat sad expression, then bowed her head and made a pious prayer gesture, bowed slightly to the water and said,
"I see, Lord Ramastia, I'll take good care of myself during this time..."
After hearing this, the water snake stood up slightly and nodded, and then the head was slightly crooked to look at Fisher who was sitting next to her, she obviously had no facial features, but in the flow of water, it seemed that there were thousands of faces of living beings, as if thousands of eyes were looking at her at the same time, so that Fisher's cold hair stood up slightly.
The meaning of her movements is unclear, there is no offense, but there is an indescribable meaning in it.
Fisher didn't read it, and the next moment, she disappeared into the usual stream of water.
Jasmine pouted, then stood up and looked at Fisher, but the look was too pitiful, and she looked sad.
β... What did she say? β
Fisher smiled and asked.
Jasmine wiped the stains on her face from the battle, walked to the edge of the pool and rinsed it with water, and said,
β... It's almost time to be full, and Master Ramastia is going to be away for a while, after which we can't call her at any time, and she told me to take care of myself..."
"What is the full profit period?"
"Ah, it's like... We whale species have a ritual every once in a while. At the end of the season, all the whales in the sea will go into the depths of the trench and go to the temple of Lord Lamastia. I also went there once when I was a child, and it was at that time that I saw the temple of Lord Ramastia. β
"But I don't know what people are doing during the full season, my mother probably knows, but she never tells me, anyway, Mistress La Mastian doesn't come out of her body to see us at the full season, and we can't hear her voice, and it will be a long time before she returns."
When Jasmine said this, Fisher suspected that the whale species must have some purpose in living in the trench, and that what they were doing should be the same as that of Lamastia, otherwise she would not have been so kind to Jasmine and her mother.
"I see."
Fisher didn't ask much, just wrote down the information he got roughly, and then got more clues to explore the specific reason, he was still facing a lot of things to deal with.
After Jasmine wiped her face, she turned her head to look at Shiraki and Reina, and said,
"You can't stay on shore any longer, and now that you've been discovered, it's dangerous to stay any longer. You've sent me a lot of stuff, so I'll do the rest alone. β
Bai Mu sighed and didn't hesitate, after all, her husband was still covered in injuries and fell in his arms, and they couldn't help if they stayed here, so she nodded decisively and said,
"I see, we'll leave for the sea tonight... Lord Jasmine, you must be careful..."
Then she looked at Fisher again, bowed deeply, and said,
"Thank you so much for your help, we will keep all these gold and jewelry for you as a reward, please don't refuse, after all, we really have nothing to give you in return."
"Yes, yes."
Shiraki and Reina left the large bag tied to Haru on the edge of the pool, and Fisher glanced at the bulging bag on the shore, and did not refuse, but nodded in agreement.
While Ramastia was still able to answer the prayers, they took the "express" of Lamastia directly back to the sea.
Before leaving, Shiraki took out all the things that Jasmine's aunt Mu Xi had sent to the bottom of the sea for Jasmine, and Fisher walked to her side, and found that in addition to letters, there were all kinds of human specialties, several things that Fisher knew, and several things that Fisher didn't.
"Goodbye, Fisher, Lord Jasmine!"
"Goodbye!"
Listening to Reina's crisp childlike voice, Jasmine pinched the objects and waved at the white wood in the pool, until the water lifted them up and disappeared in place, and Jasmine put her raised hand down.
The swimming pool was quiet, only Jasmine and Fisher were left, and she looked back at Fisher with some embarrassment and smiled,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher... Sorry for your help. β
"No, it's fine."
But Fisher ignored her words, instead staring at the item left by the wooden rhino in her hand, and after a second, he suddenly reached out and pinched a small tin box in the item, picked it up and looked at it carefully.
The small iron box is the largest and most eye-catching of all the items, and it looks like a human creation, so Fisher picked it up and looked at it first, but he didn't expect it to be really rewarding.
The small iron box has faded a little after being soaked in water for a long time, and only a little cyan trace can be seen on it, but in the middle of the iron box, the Nali language engraved on it is still clearly visible to this day, and there is a line of words written on it.

......
......
At night, on the seaside, a villa leaning against the foot of the mountain is still lit up.
The ocean pushes the waves towards the beach, but slowly retreats into the ocean due to lack of strength, and then gathers strength and attacks the shore.
An old man sat on the seat of the villa near the beach, quietly looking at the waves crashing on the beach, his eyes were deep, he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time, he sighed and said,
"O human beings, like those waves that are powerless to lap on the beach, delusional to explore the world that does not belong to them, even if it is only a step forward. But unlike the waves, human life is short and fragile, and the price of every failed exploration is often their own precious life..."
Behind the old man's chair, two beautiful ladies knelt on the ground and bowed their heads slightly, listening to the old man's somewhat hoarse words.
After a short sigh, the old man slowly stood up, and his tall figure once again covered the hazy moonlight in the sky, and walked to Anna's side,
"Let's talk about the recent events, I heard that the Ocean Asians you captured tonight were rescued by his accomplices in full view?"
Anna's face turned pale after hearing this, and she hurriedly put her head on the ground and apologized,
"I'm so sorry... Master, his accomplices are not ordinary people, and I underestimated the enemy. β
"Hehe..."
The old man looked at Anna, who was kneeling at his feet and didn't dare to make any movement, he squatted down gently, and his voice was soft,
"I don't blame you, the ocean is so vast, it is another world that cannot be seen through by human eyes, and any variables and miracles in it can be recognized by the world, and it is the holy place of life. Moreover, we no longer need the Sea Guys to help us find the Children of the Sea, I already know the location of the Children of the Sea. β
"Huh?"
Anna looked up in some surprise, but just met the cold gaze of the old man in front of her.
He suddenly reached out and pinched Anna's head, and the palm of his hand slowly pressed hard, as if he was about to crush her head.
There was a look of great pain on Anna's face, and a low moan came from the depths of her throat, but she could not get out of the old man's huge palm.
"Ho..."
Seeing the beautiful Anna let out a low cry of survival, the old man smiled slightly and asked,
"Let's talk about why the Pink Pavilion is in the hands of the Griffins, I don't believe that Anna, who is so meticulous, would make such an obvious mistake, or rather, you deliberately wanted to spoil me, so you let the Pink Pavilion be exposed to the public eye?"
The calmer the old man's words became, the more pained Anna's expression became, and she struggled to catch her breath for a few seconds before she explained with difficulty,
"It's not... I... It was made by Kajie... She thought... Give the griffons the information and she'll be... Leave, that's why..."
When the old man heard Anna's words, he stared at her bloodshot eyes, and then with a light hand, she fell to the ground in an instant.
Anna was crawling on the ground coughing, drops of blood falling down her eyes and nostrils, dripping on the floor, as striking as a blooming rose.
The smell of blood came, but the old man's expression was very calm.
"Oh, Kajie? Why don't you stop her? β
"I don't know! Master! She and I were sisters, I thought she had given up her illusions a long time ago, she had always known what she was doing, who could have known that she had always kept these thoughts in her heart... If I had known... If I had known she would have thought that, I would have stopped her. β
Anna's voice trembled, and tears fell down the blood, and she seemed to regret it so much that her nails were sinking into the ground.
The old man knows that Anna and Kajie are very good sisters, Anna regards Kajie as her own sister, Kajie has always been the most well-behaved one under him, and has been helping Anna all these years, if it was really Kajie who did it, it was normal for Anna not to notice it early.
"This star really wants to retire"
"Where is she now?"
"I've dealt with it..."
Anna knelt on the spot and said.
When the old man heard this, he laughed, walked slowly back to the windowsill, and said to the night breeze,
"You're very smart and know that if you deal with her, she will be worse than dead, so you gave her a good time first..."
"It's my own decision... If the owner wants to punish it..."
The old man raised his hand, interrupted her, and shook his head,
"Okay, it's happened, I'll send someone to verify it again, I hope you didn't lie to me..."
"Don't dare!"
"Since the Pink Pavilion has been in the limelight lately, let's stop your business a little, don't get involved in anything, and do business honestly, understand?"
"Yes."
"Kachina."
Kneeling beside Anna, Kachina straightened up and looked at the old man in front of her, and responded,
"I'm here, master."
"I'll give you the healing room to bring the Son of the Sea back, I'll tell you her location and identity in advance, make sure you don't let me down..."
"Yes, I promise to get the job done."
"Well, you guys go back."
The old man waved his hand, Anna wiped the blood dripping from her face and slowly stood up, and was just about to leave after saluting the old man, when the old man's voice was mixed with the night wind, which made Anna's heart instantly attached a layer of frost,
"That's right.. I remember Kajie had a little red mole on her chest, and I liked that one a lot. β
After Anna pursed her lips, she seemed to understand what the old man was talking about, she bowed her head lightly and said,
"I'll take her to the healing room tomorrow... Good night to the hosts. β
The old man smiled slightly, and looked at the calm sea, where the waves were unchanging and tried to move towards the land, bravely facing death and broken bones, but never ceaseless towards the shore.
Conversely, aren't humans such stupid creatures?
Because it is unknown, it is necessary to explore, and it pays the price for losing one's life because of exploration, but human beings are never discouraged and praise such unswerving courage.
"Smack..."
The waves continued, and the two carriages parked at the door quietly left the villa and disappeared into the thick darkness.
