"Phoenix?"

Fisher turned his head to glance at the man's face with feathers growing all over his eyes, and then glanced at Arajina, whom he called Aragina a phoenix, because Aragina was a descendant of the phoenix species or because she had the Ice Prince Sword on her body?

Emhart glanced at Arajina, then whispered in Fisher's ear,

"No, Fisher. The son of the phoenix holding the sword of the ice prince is not only a male phoenix, but also the most violent of the three phoenix sons, how could he give birth to an heir with a human and even if he has an heir, according to the origin of the mother, the blood of the phoenix in her body is almost diluted. ”

"Is it possible that there is an atavism?"

Fisher suddenly remembered a study he had done before, when a wealthy merchant in Saint-Nari suddenly found Fisher and said that his daughter suddenly became a witch one day, but it did not conform to the laws of maternal inheritance, and the girl's mother was not a witch but an ordinary human being.

He went to the rich merchant to investigate, and found that the girl's magic circuit was indeed the witch's circuit and not human's, but the problem was that the girl was their own daughter who had been raised since childhood, and there was absolutely no possibility of being wrong, if it weren't for the fact that one day she showed the characteristics of a witch and turned the stone statues at home into countless jumping frogs, the old father might not have realized the difference of his daughter.

After looking up the history of their family, Fisher found that their family had fled from Kadu a long time ago, that is, there was once a witch among the family members of the rich merchant's ancestor.

The law of subhuman reproduction of witches is very interesting, because all witches are female, they must need to intermarry with other races, and the probability of reproduction is no different from that of humans, but the interesting thing is that only one of the children they give birth to is a witch.

If a human and a witch are combined, no matter how many children they want, only one witch girl will be produced, and it is likely to be the first child, and all the rest of the children will only be the father's race, and will not show the characteristics of a witch.

Fisher's previous research suggests that the witch part of the blood of these non-witch children is diluted, that is, they do not inherit the characteristics of witches at all.

But the rich merchant gave counter-evidence, because his ancestors were non-witch children born to a witch, but the blood belonging to the witch never disappeared and continued to circulate until it bloomed in her daughter and turned her into a real witch

Fisher called this symptom "atavism", but the specific case is currently only the witch girl, and he has never seen any other atavistic phenomenon.

However, if Aragina has the atavism of the phoenix species, she should have the characteristics of the phoenix species at birth, such as feathers and wings, but Arajina's body is undoubtedly a complete human

Sure enough, after hearing Fisher's question, Emhart didn't think that Arajina was an atavistic phenomenon,

"I don't know what the atavism you are talking about, but judging literally, if her ancestor was a phoenix species, her noble bloodline would definitely not be diluted to this extent. I guess the feathered man must have sensed the Ice Prince Sword she was carrying, mistaking her for the Phoenix Prince. ”

Aragina frowned when she heard this, and she sensed that the item that the Ice Prince Sword really wanted was the precious treasure that the feathered man had spoken.

Although the man in the black cloak had completely disappeared and lost his vision, his expression was very clear, and he looked at Aragina in front of him with feeling, and said in a trembling voice,

"My master, we have been waiting here for a long time, following your commands, fearless of time and curses, just waiting for your return. Please also take the treasure and let us be freed from the curse of suffering. ”

At this time, Aragina noticed that he was reaching out and scratching very hard inside his cloak, as if the growth of those feathers was painful and itchy, which made him very unbearable, but as long as he touched it lightly, the feathers were like blades stuck in the flesh, so that blood kept oozing from the growth of the feathers.

And he and the others have endured such torture in order to comply with this mission, I don't know how many years, he is very loyal to the [Phoenix Seed] in his mouth, and he is willing to endure such suffering without complaining, only hoping that his master can smoothly take away the items entrusted to them for safekeeping.

Thinking of this, Arajina finally spoke,

"Something, where?"

"Over here! Dear master, please follow me! All your most loyal servants are there to guard that item. But they've been so badly eroded by the curse that they're no longer able to move their bodies to salute you, so please forgive me."

Guiltily kowtowing to Aragina instead of his companion, he got up and walked towards the interior of the island, signaling that the object was in that direction.

Aragina glanced at Pahetz beside her, and she had the experience of flicking a twinkling marker from her pocket, which she could use to signal the Iceberg Queen if something happened to them.

Walking to the interior of the island, Fisher and his party saw a hollow cave connecting the beach and the island, its interior was tortuous, but the landscape was very terrifying, but everyone was startled when they just entered.

On both sides of the cave, there were countless humans dressed in ancient northern clothes crawling in an orderly manner, each of their bodies as if they had been devoured by feathers, even worse than the situation of the person hiding under the cloak just now, their seven orifices were completely occupied by feathers, and they remained motionless in the most pious prostration, facing the direction of the interior of the island.

"They. The mission of the master lasted until the last moment, and we guarded the object in shifts, and now I am the only one left, and I dare not think that if you don't come again."

The feathered man in the black cloak covered his face rather sadly, and the gray-white feathers on his face fell one by one, exactly like the kind of feathers that Fisher had just seen in the hull of the ship.

Fisher couldn't understand them, so Emhardt was ready to translate for him, but he was slower than the others, and he felt the need to learn the language of the North.

Listening to his words, combined with what he had just seen on the ship, Fisher had a rough guess about the situation here.

It seems that in the ancient north, a phoenix once gave this group of humans a very important item, asking them to leave the north with this treasure to find a place to hide, and they were responsible for guarding this treasure until the phoenix arrived.

But this artifact has a very strong curse ability, which has caused these humans to suffer from the strange disease of growing feathers, and they have been waiting for the phoenix to take this treasure and break their curse.

"Here we are, host"

They followed the countless creeping figures in sailor's suits, captain's suits, and first mate's uniforms to the end of the cave, outside which was a lush primeval forest, and following his fingers, Fisher saw that the cave was a small stream, and at this moment, the stream was completely covered with ice.

And in the center of the polar ice, a blue-blue scroll made of ice-like objects spanned it, and the flickering light was like the divine light of a phoenix, just at a glance it made people feel that it was not an extraordinary thing.

"Oh my God, that's a scroll made of Phoenix's Ice."

Emhart looked at the object, one eye lit up, and spoke into Fisher's ear.

"Zhen Bing. You mean the legendary Zhenbing of the North? ”

"That's right! It's that thing, I've only seen it in the classics, and legend has it that this thing is born cold, transparent like jade, and is a symbol of the phoenix, which can communicate with the spiritual world. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. ”

Zhen Ice is not ice, but a mineral born from the branches of the Frost Sycamore tree in northern legends, and is a unique product of the phoenix species.

I still remember that as mentioned before, the Phoenix Species are a race that is very sensitive to fate, and they can see the vague vision of the future through the wind and snow, and therefore predict the invasion of the Chaos Species, make full preparations in advance, and defeat the Chaos Species.

Legend has it that the phoenix species will place their offspring in front of a mirror made of Zhen Bing, so that their hazy eyes will gaze at the light of Zhen Bing, so that they can gain the ability to gaze at fate, and it is precisely because of this that they are so sensitive to fate.

"Wait, not good, master!"

At this time, the black-robed man who was waiting next to him suddenly changed his face, he suddenly felt something, looked at Alajina in a panic, and said,

"Quick! Quick, master, take this treasure. I felt the breath of your compatriot's sword in the other side of the island, it must be the violent Ice Prince, who landed on the island himself, there could be no one else! The power of the ice envelops the island, and only you, and your compatriots, who possess those three swords, can see it. Quick, take the treasure and go, I'll delay him! ”

Hearing the words of the flustered man, the faces of Fisher and his party were extremely strange, and Fisher also secretly glanced at Arajina, and she was also confused

Listening to what this guy means, it seems that he is not a servant serving the Ice Prince, and he is also a mortal enemy with the Phoenix Prince, who has the Ice Prince's sword?

But he seems to have been tortured by a long-term curse to the point that his mind is a little confused, not only is he blind, but he can only roughly judge that there is a sword ashore, and he can't judge which sword has come ashore, so he recognized Aragina wrong.

Your master is also speechless when he is so clever, and he can recognize people crookedly.

However, this also explains why this island was not recorded on the charts before, it turned out that the power of the ice enveloped the entire island, and those who did not wear the three phoenix relics could not see it.

"Wait, someone's approaching."

Just as Arajina was about to say something to explain, the premonition of the dragon race in Fisher's body suddenly activated, and his cold hair stood up slightly, sensing that something dangerous was approaching.

"Ahh Babuzak, your situation has slowed us down."

Sure enough, the next moment in the distance, a rather bold female voice suddenly came, although the distance of the voice could be recognized in an instant, but the voice was very loud and clear.

Fisher frowned, a black hilt fell into his hand, and when he looked into the distance, he saw a scantily clad woman slowly walking out of the dense jungle.

The woman had long, vigorous and fluffy blond hair, and many parts of it were on her shoulders, like the mane of a male lion, but she herself was a real woman, with bronzed skin and a very sassy appearance.

On the fluffy blonde hair, two small round ears like muffins popped out, and they shook from time to time, and the distinct muscles on their bodies were strong and powerful, hiding a huge explosive power.

She carried a long alloy knife on her back, and two strangely shaped muskets pinned to her waist, which seemed to be a pair of paired relics.

As Fisher looked at her, she also noticed Fisher's group standing in front of the ice cube, and then laughed with a slightly stunned expression, revealing an obvious tiger tooth in her mouth.

Behind her stood a man dressed in a crimson Schwali costume with a gloomy expression, standing very straight, but with a rather strange temperament and a somewhat pale face.

After hearing the woman's words, he pursed his lips disdainfully and said,

"It takes a long time to pinpoint the location of the islands according to the clues, as for them. It can only be said that it is just a lucky ghost who happens to have a phoenix relic. ”

"Don't be hard-mouthed, if you can't do it, you can't do it, you must be sincere in admitting your mistakes, and you must stand up when you are beaten"

The tall, bronzed-skinned woman laughed heartily, and let out a loud voice like a lion's roar, and the fangs in her mouth were long, not just the size of tiger teeth.

Fisher quickly recognized it as an adult female [Lion Race], a dangerous subhuman species endemic to the Southern Continent, distributed throughout the western coast grasslands of the Southern Continent, known for its large size and aggressiveness.

The strength of the female of the whole lion race completely crushes the male, and the male lion race is an important strategic resource for reproduction in the tribe, and is often robbed and abducted by the female lion race of the invading tribe to confine the birth of lion cubs, and the female lion race has three seasons a year is the breeding period, and the desire to attack is strongest during the breeding period

The lion-man's pupils swept around Fisher's group, then licked his lips and shouted at Fisher,

"Hey, over there, let's talk about it, and I'm bothering to ask if you want the scroll in that ice cube?" My boss needs that thing very much, if you give it to us, it will be a great reward~"

Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
