109. The legend of the creation of life
By the time Fisher returned to his rental house, it was almost half past ten, and it was to blame the coachman who had left the carriage when he got to the place, and Fisher had to run a long way to get into the carriage in the direction of the city, and he didn't know how Anna would get back.
However, Fisher is not worried about her safety, when he first met Anna in the Pink Pavilion before, Fisher felt that the aura on her body was very dangerous, although he didn't understand her specific methods, but she was definitely not a weak woman who was bullied.
When she got home, Lady Martha was already resting, just enough to avoid her asking about herself and Elizabeth.
But lately, Fisher's real feelings and Yin Lizabeth are a little inexplicable.
Every time he spent time with her, there was a subtle atmosphere of being cut off by the tulle, and as long as he reached out, he could tear the tulle off.
Just like in the café just now, as long as Fisher wanted to, he could easily bow his head and kiss Yin Lizabeth's lips, and taste the taste of the eldest princess admired by the people of Nari.
But it is precisely because Yin Lizabeth is the eldest princess of the royal family that falling in love with her always means great responsibility...
The perfect time for them was when they were in the Royal Academy.
At that time, Fisher was helpless, and sincerely loved Her Royal Highness the princess who sat beside him and read books with him
Fisher was not bothered by the prophecy of the end of the world, nor did he have a love debt like Renee and Rafael, nor did he know the true nature of Elizabeth; Yin Lizabeth is quiet, good at hiding, and is loved and cherished like the most perfect lady in this world.
If both Elizabeth and Fisher had been brave and proactive at that time, she would have realized her mistakes and been willing to take responsibility for what she had done; Fisher did not choose to stay away from her silently, but approached her to communicate well, and probably would not have fallen into such an awkward stalemate now.
The love and affection left over from the past are entangled between them like a rope, so that they can never stay away, but when they really want to get closer, reality pushes them to always maintain a little distance...
Fisher and Elizabeth Yin are at a stalemate with each other, and neither of them wants to let anyone go...
Well, it sounds a little bitter, but the reality is often not so high-profile emotions, and there is just a tacit consensus between the two.
When asked about the solution, both of them probably felt that there was no better way to answer than "I'll talk about it later".
Fisher shook his head, putting his thoughts aside for a moment, ready to "talk about it later."
At this moment, he pushed the door and walked into his room, only to find that his room was not lit, the sofa was empty, and Jasmine was nowhere to be found.
He frowned, looked at the closed window, and after making sure she hadn't gone out, he paced in the direction of the bathroom.
In Fisher's sight, it was dark in the bathroom, and the long dress he had made for Jasmine was folded and placed on a stool in the room.
So Fisher reached out and turned on the light in the bathroom, and sure enough, the bathtub in the room was filled with water, and Jasmine lay peacefully in the water tank without a single strand on her body, as if she were sleeping.
Fisher had already heard the sound of Fisher turning on the light, but by the time Jasmine opened her eyes, five seconds had passed, as if there was a huge delay.
Fisher only glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze from her body, and reached out to turn off the bathroom light, thus avoiding embarrassment.
"Jasmine?"
He asked softly, but all he could do was silence.
“...”
Hearing Fisher's call, Jasmine didn't immediately respond.
Fisher thought she was sick or something, but as soon as she tried to get closer, she saw that her whale tail and long ears were glowing up at the same time.
After the fluorescence was fully lit, Jasmine seemed to wake up, and sat up from the bathtub in a panic.
"Fee fee fee fee..."
She spoke shyly and panickedly, her tail fluttering slightly, and seeing that she was all right, Fisher took several steps back until she reached the door of the bathroom.
"What happened to you? I thought you were sick. ”
She had just poured peacefully into the water, as if the steam engine had stopped, and she had to open her eyes much slower than anyone else at the sound of Fisher's voice.
"Huh? Sick... I wasn't sick, I just spent too much time on land, so I needed to be in the water for a while. The longer you spend on land, the more time you'll need to spend in the water recovering. ”
Fisher, standing in the doorway, with his back against the wall linking the lavatory, asked,
"So that's why you used to go swimming in the natatorium a lot when you were at San Nari University?"
"Hmm..."
Jasmine replied,
"Although we are free to move around on land, we can't stay too long, and if we don't touch the water for a long time, we will always feel tired, have a feeling of suffocation, and our reactions will become very slow..."
Slow response?
Fisher suddenly remembered that when he was at St. Nari University, he had felt that Jasmine's movements and reactions were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and at that time he thought that this was caused by her cute personality, but he didn't expect that it was the characteristics of the whale species that were at work.
"I see, I was curious about why you Ocean Asians were able to go ashore normally..."
"Ah, it's because the source of all life is the same, and all living beings are always similar and different. When I was a child, my mother once told me a legend about how Lord La Mastia created life. ”
"Oh?"
Fisher is interested in the legends that circulate in the whale race, because from the beliefs and cultural practices of a civilization, you can always find many characteristics of this race that are difficult to find.
For example, the dragon race is very fond of wine and fire, which has created their open-minded and cheerful personality, and it can be roughly inferred why the ancient Femabar Dragon Court was so inclusive.
Fisher listened attentively, and the Asian mother in his arms began to heat up slightly after finishing the manual, proving his thinking,
"Legend has it that it was Ramastia who created all life. In the long, deep and lonely sleep of Lord Lamastia, she thought of creating life to accompany her, so that she would no longer be so lonely. As soon as her mind moved, countless life-filled beings appeared out of thin air in various parts of the world. ”
But in the beginning, the life that La Mastia created had no sense of self, and the more she created, the more lonely she became. So, she began to try to create conscious beings. She first created human beings, but she was afraid that human beings would fall into the same loneliness as herself, and began to create other different companions for them. ”

"Koramostiath was too loving, and when she created life, she was constantly thinking about the good of other creatures, which led to the more complex life she created later, the more she carried the merits of many of the creatures she had created before."
"Mother said that we whale species were one of the last creatures created by Lamastia... Hehe, because she is too loving, she forgot that when she created life in the first place, she wanted someone to accompany her, so the subhuman races in the ocean were created later, and most of them mixed with the characteristics of many creatures, and we can breathe on land because of this. ”
"I asked Mistress Ramastia before, but she never told me about it, and I don't know if my mother made up this legend, because she likes to brag the most... But Lord Ramastia said that the greatest characteristic of life is balance, and that what some beings have, they will discard in other places. ”
Fisher listened, but suddenly thought of what Elliog had said about the [Order of Life].
From her words, it is not difficult to deduce that humans are very low in the life ranks, and although she does not despise humans, Fisher has a faint sense that her kindred or some other creatures despise humans.
If we extrapolate from the legend mentioned by Jasmine, does it mean that the higher the order in which Lamastia created life, the lower the rank, and the lower the order, the higher the rank?
To be reasonable, if you let Fisher go head-to-head with an adult dragon without using magic and not using the bonus of the manual before the sub-human mother completes the manual, he will probably be killed in less than a round, and some sub-humans are born with a physical advantage.
But if you think about it, it doesn't make sense, according to legend, Ramatia should have created the sub-humans on the land first, and then the sub-humans in the ocean, and the life level of the creatures in the ocean should be higher than that on the land.
But Shiraki and Reina are not as good as the dragons or demons that live on land...
Well, it doesn't seem to make much sense to explain this entirely by lore.
"Ah, I forgot to ask the teacher if I got any clues about the healing room, and I said so much to myself..."
Jasmine seemed to come out of the water tank, the sound of water dropping on the floor, she gently reached out and took the skirt in her hand, and Fisher walked to the door of the room to turn on the light.
He roughly told Jasmine about the clues of the healing room, she had just changed her skirt and walked out, and after listening to what Fisher said a lot, she pursed her lips as if she didn't understand, and finally nodded and concluded,
"I... I understand. Anyway, I'm going out with Mr. Fisher anyway, and I can help. ”
Well, I heard it, in fact, she didn't understand the clues that Fisher said at all, anyway, Teacher Fisher would just follow what he did.
For Jasmine, who is very easy to deceive, Fisher couldn't cry or laugh a little, but remembering that Jasmine couldn't balance herself before and suck life everywhere, he still reminded,
"The most important thing is that you need to balance yourself, don't you, have you found a way now?"
"Before, when you were engraving magic, I tried to control the curse in my body, but... The amount is too large, and it will take a long time to calm down, if it is a battle..."
Jasmine glanced at Fisher cautiously, but in order not to set a negative example, she clenched her fists and said,
"But... I'll try my best, though! ”
Looking at her lovely appearance, Fisher couldn't help but reach out and touch her blue hair, which was wet and with a surging fragrance of flowers, just a light touch, Fisher withdrew his hand.
But Jasmine blushed and narrowed her eyes, looking very comfortable, and her ears fluttered.
"Come on."
“... Well. ”
Woo... If this is the case with me, has Mr. Fisher agreed to be knocked unconscious and dragged back into the sea?
Jasmine, who was delusional for no reason, pinched the hem of her skirt and thought like this.
Fisher turned his head and planned to go downstairs to make a phone call, and it was now half past ten in the evening, and the junior should not have fallen asleep yet.
The call was for Keken, and Fisher needed his help to get into the charity gala this weekend.
