114.Grasshopper (6000)
Forced to pay thirty-five euros for breakfast, Fisher walked out of the breakfast shop with a stinking face, and even Fisher would not have expected that he would be cheated by a prince.
What about Godlin II, who is not willing to pay even a few dozen euros for breakfast?
Spit and complain, but this time Dexter's visit to Fisher was not without gain, at least it was worth more than the thirty-five euros for breakfast.
It is normal for Dexter and Lensis to not deal with each other, Luncy is seven years younger than Dexter, and a year younger than Elizabeth Yin, but he is Godlin IX's favorite child, not one of them.
Because by the time the younger two younger siblings were born, Godlin IX's original queen had already died for a long time, so Godlin IX devoted much less energy to them than the previous princes and princesses, and more often it was the brothers and sisters who took care of them.
Lensis was the youngest prince born to the original queen, and was rightfully favored by Godlin IX, as if he were compensating for his own queen.
However, preference is favoritism, and how to choose the heir Godlin IX should still be sober, and his best choice is Prince Dexter.
Now that the financial power of a country is in the hands of Dexter, Yin Lizabeth is in charge of the military and does not care about political affairs, and there is no chance of inheriting the unification, only Lensis is still struggling with small means.
However, obviously in terms of strength, Lensis can't play Dexter, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught with so many tricks and evidence in Dexter's hands.
Today's Lensis is like a piece of meat on the chopping board, and the charity party on the weekend is the time when Dexter is going to knife Lensis, and he can use Dexter's hands-on time to make a living, which is also what he said to himself when he left.
The eldest prince Dexter is actually very interesting, he has the means and courage, but he also values family affection and kindness, otherwise he would not have said that he would put Rensis under house arrest in the Golden Palace.
Similarly, even though he had little communication with Yin Lizabeth, he didn't care about her intention to take away military power, he actually supported Yin Lizabeth to choose her marriage partner freely, and did not force her to change her marriage.
Thinking about it, Fisher had already arrived at the Nari Petri Bank, and after donating 70,000 Nario as planned, the bank's staff made a phone call to Keken, and Fisher easily got an emerald green charity banquet ticket.
The process was so easy and fast that it was beyond Fisher's imagination, and even Fisher had to sigh that it was really easy to have a relationship in Saint-Nari.
After Fisher came out of the Park Tree Bank, he walked to the St. Nari Carriage Market, and the actual purchase of horse-drawn carriages required special customization, so the carriage markets he went to now basically provided rental services.
In order to be able to raise the principal, many fanatical gentlemen desperately mortgaged their carriages, mansions and even pets to the bank of Nari to borrow the first pot of principal, but once they did not pay the interest, these things would flow into the Nari market in the form of auctions.
Many business-minded businessmen photographed these carriages because they could not only be rented out for various occasions where they did not have enough money but needed pomp and circumstance, such as weddings and so on. You can also rent horse-drawn carriages to those who provide passenger services in Saint-Nari, otherwise you would think that Fisher used to be able to get horse-drawn carriages on the streets.
Fisher himself loves carriages, and he spent a lot of money to customize his own carriage before, and also took a lot of effort to decorate it, not only designed a lot of hidden slots and storage compartments on the outside, but also put a magic extension space inside, which can be described as a "mobile high-end house".
It should be a carriage that can be called a top luxury car, and it is definitely unique in the territory of Nari, but Fisher gave the carriage directly to her when Rafael left, otherwise the dragon man would have to walk half the continent back to his tribe.
I guess it's still sitting somewhere in the Southern Continent now, that carriage is not suitable for battle, and Rafael probably won't take that carriage with him to fight...
Now, Fisher, who has become constrained again, can only pick a black and restrained carriage at random in the carriage market, and rent two black horses to pull the cart by the way.
Not only will he need it for the charity gala, but in the next few days, he plans to take Jasmine out of Nari's city and into the upper reaches of the Crein River, northeast of St. Nari, which is inaccessible and in the mountains, perfect for Jasmine to practice balance.
As for why you went there, it had to do with the weekend's charity gala action.
The location of the healing room is very quiet, right in the middle of the Klein River, which is very much in line with its positioning as a sanatorium.
But what Fisher really thinks about is how to get out with Jasmine after entering the underground, if the action goes well, of course, how to get in and out, but if it doesn't go well, Fisher can only consider using magic to break through the barrier where the underground of the healing room links to the river, and then escape along the river.
Before that, Fisher still wanted to step on the point and get a rough idea of the situation on the Klein River.
It was almost half past nine when Fisher returned to his rental house with the chicken, and Ms. Martha had gone to exercise, and when Fisher opened the door of her room, Jasmine was lying on the couch, motionless, and looked like she was about to collapse from hunger.
It wasn't until Fisher appeared with the food that the tip of her nose twitched instantly, and then from the tip of her nose to her whole body, as if it had been given life in turn.
At last her whale's tail was cocked first, and her head was raised with her eyes glowing, but she did not ask for food first, but whispered to Fisher first, like a wife who was waiting for her husband to come.
"Fisher, welcome back..."
Fisher was slightly stunned when he heard this, but at this moment, he suddenly had a little empathy for what it was like for other Nari gentlemen who had families to return home, especially Jasmine was still the most beautiful type of lady among them...
Looking at the harmless and defenseless Jasmine, Fisher paused for a second, then removed his rather invasive gaze rather vaguely, and nodded in response,
"Breakfast, come over and eat."
"Hmm!"
Jasmine pinched her skirt and ran barefoot off the couch before helping Fisher carry the extra plates to the table.
Looking at the fragrant roast chicken, Jasmine made another gesture of prayer, and between the long blue hair on her head, a crown of hair that seemed to be made of water gently held up her long hair, making her look very elegant.
"Thank you Fisher for giving me delicious food, woooooo
When Jasmine actually started eating, Fisher looked at the crown of water like a crown, and suddenly guessed that it was because of this that the other sea subhumans recognized the whale race as the royal family of the ocean.
After all, they rarely see each other, and who knows that the whale species is actually a very lazy insect in nature, waiting for other ocean subhumans to throw fish into the trench every year?
"Speaking of which, what's the matter with that flowing hair crown on your forehead?"
Jasmine, who was eating roast chicken, raised her head and looked at the water flow above her head, and then said with some embarrassment,
"Ah, this one, my aunt made me a direction gauge, because it's so dark in the sea, I don't know how to get back every time I swim out of the trench... When I was a child, I was lost and I was squatting in the coral bush and crying, and my mother looked for me for a long time to find me..."
Speaking of her dark history as a child, Jasmine touched the watery hair crown on her head with some embarrassment, and her fingers passed through the hair crown to stir up a little drop of water, and the water drop was quickly attracted back into the hair crown and followed the flow.
Well? This turned out to be a direction pad?
Fisher couldn't have imagined that this thing would work like this...
That is, this thing is not actually available to every whale race, so is it possible that because her mother called herself "the Emperor of the Sea", other races will call the whale race royal?
Jasmine showed Fisher the body of the relic, and it turned out to be a small clip, made of gold, that caught a small strand of hair on the back of Jasmine's head.
Then Jasmine tapped the hairpin lightly, and the crown of water on her head turned sharply in the direction of somewhere in the Southern Ocean near Saint-Nari; One more tap, and the water disappears and retracts back into the tiny hairpin.
"I rarely get lost when I'm growing up, but I still like to use this as a hairpin, because I don't feel the weight of my hair much when I'm in the sea, and I'm not used to it when I'm on land..."
"Looks like your aunt loves you very much."
"Hmm... It's very difficult to make relics, but as long as I say I want them, my aunt will make them for me, even if my request sounds naïve..."
Speaking of her aunt, Jasmine seemed to think of a female figure with a hearty smile in the ocean, and even the speed of eating roast chicken was much slower, obviously, Jasmine had a deep affection for her aunt.
In addition to this, Jasmine said that the wood rhinoceros had also made her relics of self-tracking fishing nets to catch fish, as well as relics of earplugs to prevent Ramastia from talking, and relics of automatic picking up fish dropped by other sea subhumans every year.
All of these are relics that have magical functions anyway, but they are of no great use.
It's not so much a relic as a toy made for Jasmine as a child.
It seems that being able to make relics can really do whatever they want, which makes Fisher want to help Jasmine find her aunt so that she can learn how relics are made.
Speaking of which, the relics are actually the names of these objects left over from ancient times in the anthropological community, and it is not known what their real name should be, Fisher.
The reason why Jasmine also calls this kind of thing a relic is because her Nari language was given by Ramastia.
And Nali is essentially a kind of word writing, and every more noun needs to be made with a new pronunciation, Jasmine is not a native of Nali, of course, she does not have such ability, so she can only call relics with the Nali people.
The more Fisher listened, the amused it became, and Jasmine said that the relics made of the wood rhinoceros were basically made of gold, because there was a lot of gold at the bottom of the sea.
It's no wonder that most of the goods sent by the Sea Subhumans were gold, which was the exact opposite of the fact that there were no gold mines in Nari itself.
However, since Blake arrived in the Southern Continent a few decades ago, Nari has become the golden power of the Western Continent, thanks to the goblin bosses who occupy the mines in the Southern Continent...
While Jasmine was eating, Fisher wrote a letter to Elizabeth, giving him a rough idea of how Dexter had come to look for him, and enclosing a messenger to communicate with, so that she wouldn't find herself later when she wasn't in the rental house.
And Anna, Fisher didn't plan to ask her out again, at most he reminded her to go out when he passed by the door of the Pink Pavilion.
When Jasmine had almost finished her breakfast, Fisher cleaned up and let Jasmine put on her cloak and sit in the carriage.
After all, she had a big whale tail behind her, and it was the first time she had appeared on the streets of Nari in such a swagger during the day, so Fisher watched her stare at the ground and run to the carriage with her big tail behind her, which was almost attached to her back.
In fact, if Jasmine was not a marine subhuman but another common breed of subhuman, Fisher would not have needed to hide her like this, because there were many Nari gentlemen who had subhuman slaves at home.
After all, the IQ of subhumans and humans is actually not much different, and if you ignore their appearance that is somewhat different from humans, it is very cost-effective to hire slaves at a very cheap price.
And Jasmine is the kind of marine subhuman that no one else has ever seen, and she is also a subhuman that Blake and Lensis want to catch with their own hands, which is why Fisher is so cautious, but fortunately there is no one near Fisher's rental house now.
I forgot to mention that the average age of the inhabitants of Martha's neighborhood was actually the highest in the whole of St. Nari, and all of them were old men and women with less teeth and crutches, so they all lived a much more regular life than a young man like Fisher.
Fisher shook his head, and finally took the seat of the carriage again, the last time he sat in this position was when he was with Rafael and the others in the Southern Continent, at that time, Rafael often sat with her, and she would quietly open the door of the carriage a crack, and then reveal a pair of turquoise eyes staring at Fisher who was driving the carriage in front of her.
Fisher was slightly stunned, holding the reins but suddenly looked back at the carriage behind him, at this time, the carriage door also opened a crack at some point, revealing a pair of bright blue eyes inside, it was Miss Jasmine.
"Fisher... Where are we going now? ”
Before coming out, Fisher didn't tell Jasmine where he was going, and she stupidly followed him into the carriage, which made Fisher wonder if she had sold her and she had to count the money for herself.
"Go to the Klein River, one of the eight great rivers of Nari, in the direction of St. Nari's University, but the distance is very far."
Hearing that it was the direction of St. Nari University, Jasmine opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she stopped talking and didn't say anything.
In fact, Fisher guessed that she wanted to meet Mirika and Yin Sabel, who were studying at St. Nari University, but apparently, this was an overly excessive request, and the current Nari officials were still looking for her.
Fisher knew but didn't say it, he just waved his whip and drove the carriage slowly down the streets of Nari.
Although he was not prepared to go to Anna, Fisher decided to give her a message, and he deliberately took a detour and passed in front of the Pink Pavilion on Nation Street.
Originally, he just wanted to let her know that he was going out now like he did last time, and driving out in the carriage meant that his general affairs had been arranged, but he didn't expect to see Anna directly at the door.
Not the entrance of the Pink Pavilion to be exact, but in front of some of the shops in front of Natteon Street.
She was still dressed in a very conservative Nari costume and a small hat inlaid with white gauze balls, and the shop in front of her was only separated by a window of glass, through which she could see the delicate little cakes and macarons made by the shopkeeper inside.
Fisher noticed the beautiful lady standing on the side of the street, but he didn't know that she had a sweet tooth. Because she already had a small box of tarts at hand, she still stood by the window and looked at the cake inside...
The black carriage behind her passed slowly, and Anna also looked back with a feeling, just in time to see the gentleman in the gentleman's hat in front of the carriage, her eyes moved slightly, and she reached out to cover her foreign hat and cover her eyes.
Now that he saw Anna directly, Fisher changed his tactics and "unintentionally" shook off a small paper airplane to the side of the road, which had fallen straight to the ground without rain yesterday.
"Hey, that damn guy, how can you litter?!"
The owner of a shop next to him was sweeping the floor and looked angrily at the black carriage that was gradually moving away with a broom, and was just about to pick up the paper airplane, when a fragrant wind hit behind him, he looked back and saw that a beautiful lady stretched out her hand to him with a quiet smile,
"I'm sorry, can you give me that paper airplane?"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
"Thank you."
Anna smiled slightly, then quietly stuffed the paper airplane back into her small bag, and walked briskly in the direction of the Pink Pavilion without any more intention of buying macarons.
The Pink Pavilion is still as usual, and even though it is morning, there are already many guests enjoying themselves, and the white smoke wafts in, making the room look like a fairyland.
In the hall, countless lazy girls lying on their sides saluted Anna respectfully.
"Lady Anna, the new guy from yesterday wants to leave again..."
As soon as she entered, two coolly dressed girls next to her walked up to her and whispered to Anna.
Anna glanced at them, suddenly thought of something, stretched out her hand and waved at them, and said,
"Take me to see it."
"Yes."
The two ladies led the way, and Anna walked slowly through the hall and the many rooms to the upper floors.
Unlike the resplendent outside, the inner room is underground, and there is a cold feeling in it.
Descending the swirling black staircase, Anna was led by the two girls in front of her to the front of a room below the ground, pushing the door to a bed where a young girl in a short shirt was curled up.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked back at the door like a frightened bird, and when she saw the cold-faced Anna, the girl's unkempt hair shook along with her skull.
"No... Don't, just let me go... Either let me go or give me a little... A little medicine, a little bit of it..."
The girl fell to her knees as if she was in a great ordeal, and her eyes fluttered towards Anna with a hand stretched out, as if she wanted to grasp hope, and frantically pleaded with Anna for salvation.
Looking at the girl who was tortured by the drug to the point of not being human, Anna sighed, waved her hand to the two girls beside her, and said softly,
"Get out of here, I'll take care of it."
"Yes, Ms. Anna."
The two girls exited the room and gently closed the door.
And Anna slowly walked over to the girl who was prostrate on the ground, and looking at her trembling facial muscles, she asked,
"How did you get the medicine?"
"Yes.. It's my home, it's used at home, and I'm... Please, I'll work well, you can do whatever I want, just give me a little.. Goo..."
Before she could finish her words, Anna's palm was already lightly attached to her forehead, and strangely enough, when this hand touched the girl, the girl's voice stopped abruptly, and only her wide eyes could be seen through Anna's white fingertips.
Obviously, the girl in front of her was the one she used to hate the most, but it wasn't until she stayed in the West Continent for a long time that she realized that there were a lot of sufferings like the people in front of her.
Whether it is a person from the Southern Continent or a person from the Western Continent, whether it is a human or a subhuman, in the eyes of that group of people, they are just mayflies after all, and they can't even enter the existence of their eyes, so who cares about the life or death of their own group of people?
"Take a good rest, you won't feel bad when you fall asleep..."
In the shadow of the wall, where Anna had linked it with her hand, a shadowy shadow cast in the faint light of the room.
If you look closely at the shadows that connect you, you will see that the shadows from Anna's hands seem to spread out, clasping tightly in front of the girl.
The candle then shook, and then the girl in front of her had white eyes, and suddenly fell unconscious to the ground, her muscles twitching from time to time, but the viciousness of the thirst for medicine on her face had slowly faded, and she was obviously completely unconscious.
Anna looked at the girl on the ground for a long time, and then slowly pulled out the paper airplane that Fisher had just thrown to herself from her small bag, looking at the magic glow on it.
I don't know what came to mind, Anna smiled slightly, put the paper airplane away, and slowly left the small room.
The door slowly closed, and from outside came the sound of Anna fading away,
"When she woke up, she told me, and then she called Olli to teach her the rules, and if she dared to escape or steal the medicine in the hall, she would break her legs."
