39. Pure Love (2-in-1)

Dressed in a northern gown, Aragina walked briskly down the noisy commercial streets of Pattishen Island, and it was early afternoon, when the sun was in full bloom in the sky, and when the light obscured by the clouds or the outlines of the houses fell to the ground, only islands of light that were separated from each other and turned into stars spread out on the land.

Obviously, the temperature at this time was just right, and the atmosphere at this time was warm, but the more Alagina walked, the colder her body became, as if she had suddenly returned to the time when she was walking in the back courtyard of her mother's palace more than ten years ago.

The warm sunlight around him turned into the wind and snow in the north at this moment, and the shallow island of light on the ground suddenly became more than one layer thicker, turning into a thick snow that just submerged the middle of Arajina's calf.

Arajina's figure, which was taller than a man, seemed to shrink suddenly at this moment, and became the child who was only five years old, wearing cotton clothes and a small red face.

"Father!"

In the backyard of the great court of the Partition King, her fragile cries spread far through the courtyard, blowing the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, and the frost-covered lakes and trees around her did not grow their mouths to respond to her, and she had to gasp and run deeper into the courtyard.

She knew that her father had never liked to be in her mother's bedchamber, and especially to be alone in the courtyard without an attendant.

Whenever young Aragina woke up from a nap and was freed from a heavy study and combat training, she would always follow her father like a cowardly boy.

At that time, the weather in the winter in the north was unusually cold, just like the frost phoenix was angry and wanted to punish the people of the north for their crimes, and it snowed in the territory of the Sardinian country that was rare in a century.

Despite the dissuasion of the palace attendants, the young Arajina gasped and ran alone into the depths of the courtyard in search of her father.

There were many beasts in the palace garden that her mother, who was the king of the feudal realm, loved, but even the sturdy predators were so tormented by the cold weather that they hid under the rockeries and trees, and only opened their eyes to look at Arajina running in the snow.

"Father!"

She was so tired from running that she put her hands on her knees and shouted again at the empty courtyard, her wheezing chest as if to drive away the last bit of heat from her chest, and her young body became more and more tired, and she could not help but fall into the snow and ice.

"Arajina?"

But at this moment, a response suddenly came from the small pavilion by the ice lake in the distance, and the familiar voice ignited her heart like a match, and she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran in that direction.

Finally, in the corner of the pavilion, she saw her father sitting there.

It was a gentle man with white hair and wrapped in a thick coat, his face handsome, but always revealing a little sickly pale and melancholy.

He seemed to be staring at the cold lake outside, but it wasn't until he heard Aragina's call that he woke up from his state of distraction and turned his head to look at the petite girl who was gasping for breath outside the pavilion.

"Alajina, aren't you taking a nap, why are you here?"

He slowly stood up and held out his hand to Aragina outside the pavilion, sending Aragina running all the way into his arms.

The men of the Sardinia country were delicate, and Arajina's father was even worse health, and it was impossible to tell whether it was due to the long-born body of the medicine jar or the torture of her cruel mother day after day, anyway, at this time he could not even resist the strength of Aragina's pounce, and after holding her into his arms, he inevitably sat down backwards and leaned back on the edge of the pavilion.

The father wrapped the young Aragina in the coat on his body, avoiding the biting cold of the outside world, feeling the father's calm heartbeat, Aragina was unprecedentedly relieved, and kept rubbing in his arms.

"Father..."

"I'm here, Arajina."

"What were you just looking at?"

Her father opened his mouth and waited a long time before shaking his head and smiling in response,

“… I wasn't looking at anything, I just came out to get some air. How did you sleep during the afternoon nap just now, did you sleep well? ”

"It's okay... I just miss you a little. ”

"Well, do you still want to do it now?"

"I want to~"

Aragina didn't say anything else, just buried her head and stayed sullenly in her father's arms.

In her fur coat, her azure eyes fell on the obvious bruise-purple marks on her father's neck and arms, and although she was young, she seemed to understand what was happening.

Her hands clenched the clothes beside her tightly, as if they were about to break the enemy's neck.

Sensing her nervousness and anger, her father gently reached out and took her hand in his arms, allowing her to relax.

As if that were not enough, he suddenly remembered something, reached into his bosom and took out something,

"By the way, Arajina, I have a gift for you..."

"Yes, yes. Hey, what is it? ”

Aragina leaned out of his arms, but saw that his father was holding a metal necklace inlaid with azure gems in his hand, and the necklace had been pinched in his father's hand for a long time, and the warm temperature covered the original cold of the metal, so when he put it in Arajina's hand, the necklace was already warm.

"This is an ornament left by your grandmother, and I will give it to you now, as a token of your love for your husband in the future... If one day you meet a man you particularly like, give him such an item as proof of your affection. ”

Aragina looked at the beautifully made necklace in her father's arms, and waited for a long time before she solemnly put the necklace in her arms and nodded,

"I'll take good care of it."

"Well, that's good."

Arajina's father nodded, smiled and reached out to stroke the white hair on Arajina's forehead, causing her to squint comfortably.

But in the interval of enjoying her father's gentle movements, Alagina suddenly noticed something, someone seemed to be staring at them outside, the sight was vague, and it never penetrated the warmth between father and daughter, and only stayed alone in the snowstorm outside the pavilion.

She leaned a little out of her fur coat and looked out of the pavilion, where she saw a tall girl two or three points like her facing the frozen lake, leaning behind a tree, quietly watching her and her father.

The girl Aragina knew, the eldest half-sister who was ten years older than herself,

Helena Hammond.

……

……

Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt as she stopped at the door of a tavern where Pahertz used to frequent.

I saw that the tavern, which was usually very lively during the day, was very quiet at this time, and the pungent smell of a little alcohol came from behind the half-closed door.

Something is wrong, something has happened.

Is it the Nari that Fisher said?

Could it be that they had already discovered Fisher, but why did they come to Pacherz instead of themselves in the first place?

She frowned slightly, and the Ice Prince Sword Phantom in her hand was projected into her hand at the same time, and a chilling cold air burst from her feet, pouring out towards the interior of the tavern, and her perception extended into the tavern along the spreading ice.

Frost entered the tavern like her extra sensory organs, and she quickly sensed the general situation inside.

The bottles of wine scattered everywhere, the unconscious body lying on the ground, the mixture of alcohol and blood running on the ground, Pahertz still lying on her side in the corner of the tavern, unconscious, with a musket in her hand, and behind her lay the old man of Nari, Old Jack, whom Fisher had brought to the boat.

And finally, a pair of huge figures standing in the middle of the room.

As Aragina sensed the position of the figure, an extremely dangerous feeling instantly surged into her heart, and she reacted very quickly to take the Ice Prince Sword and retreat suddenly, and the moment the cold air surged, a thick wall of ice instantly condensed in front of her, trying to resist the attack that hit like a storm inside.

"Boom!"

"Click!"

The sound of the wind cracking and the cracking of the ice rang out at the same time, and Arajina's blue eyes shrank slightly, staring in disbelief at the palm that had easily passed through the ice wall and then stopped in front of the Ice Prince's blade.

The entire palm of the hand was covered in pure silver armor, and was carved with ornaments like feathers, making the outstretched palm resemble a human hand and the sharp claws of the legendary phoenix.

The next moment, the big hand suddenly grabbed the Ice Prince Sword in Arajina's hand tightly with her backhand, making her unable to advance or retreat, and the frost attached to the Ice Prince spread along the opponent's armor at the same time, but the other party seemed to not feel the cold at all.

"Phoenix Knight?"

Aragina spoke in surprise, apparently recognizing the identity of the armor's owner, but responded with a disdainful sneer,

"No, it's not just the Phoenix Knight... Or your sister. ”

As the disdainful voice came from behind the ice wall, the outstretched palm also suddenly clenched and retracted, and then stretched out another hand and threw a punch at Arajina in front of her, which went straight through the hole in the ice wall she had just pierced and smashed into Arajina's face.

"Bump!"

With a huge force, Arajina flew out uncontrollably and smashed into the shops on the other side of the street.

The loud noise of the battle was quickly noticed by the pirates and traders walking on the streets, but feeling the terrible low pressure here, they wisely chose to flee the place and report the situation to the local gangsters or pirates...

But apparently, even if they did, none of the local forces on Pateritishenan would foolishly come and get involved in the fighting.

The ice formed by the cold air was violently torn apart by the woman who had just stepped out of the tavern, and the tall figure that stepped out of the tavern obscured the sunlight falling above the sky, forming a thick shadow called "Helena" in front of Arajina, completely covering the entire street.

"Helena!"

Aragina walked back into the street with the broken walls of the shop, a bright red nosebleed from the nose that had just been slammed, but she reached out and wiped it as if she didn't care, and then her eyes showed an unprecedented chill as she looked at the bear-like woman who was slowly walking out of the tavern.

Helena Hammond, the first daughter born to her damned mother and husband, was a full 10 years older than the youngest Aragina, and she was also the daughter who most resembled her mother.

Aragina, who committed the crime of killing her mother, hated everything in the Hammond family, hated the hell that led her gentle father to destruction, and of course treated this sister who had never met her equally.

As Blair said, once they both knew of each other's existence, they would be desperate to put each other to death.

Feeling the chill spreading from Arajina's body, Helena's pale blue eyes reflected Arajina's face, which seemed to completely coincide with someone in her memory, making her slightly stunned for a second.

But soon, she forcefully dispersed the figure that appeared in front of her, and put the helmet she was holding in her arms on her head, transforming her otherwise rugged face into a phoenix head made of Mithril.

The helmet isolated the lingering people in her heart, making her heart become cold,

"I thought how powerful and brave Arajina would become... In the end, he is still a disappointing child, just like the coward who would only sneak away when she was beaten and cried in training! ”

"You should also be glad that you were not in the palace when I killed that scumbag, otherwise you would have been tortured with her in the underground for eternity."

As soon as Arajina's words were finished, several phoenix knights, also wearing armor, rushed out of the tavern behind Helena, each holding a straight and thin thin sword in their hands, and slowly surrounded Arajina's body.

"The traitor Alagina Hammond will be captured and returned to China to be tried by the co-hosts..."

Before the Phoenix Knight in front of Arajina could finish speaking, a big hand stretched out behind her and pushed her away, Helena raised a hammer with a strange light with one hand, and the scolding voice came from under the phoenix's bird's head mask,

"What nonsense are you guys chirping, get out of the way!"

"Lord Helena, but."

As Helena's hammer was raised, a strange suction burst from the hammer surface, and the rubble around her and her target, Aragina, flew uncontrollably in Helena's direction at the same time, as if she was about to send her own head on her own initiative.

Relic, Black Hole Hammer

Among the Phoenix Knights, only those who have been canonized as "Great Knights" or above by the co-owner can obtain the relics they have been given, and it is not a simple process for a Phoenix Knight to get to this point, and there are only a hundred knights who can always be called "Great Knights".

In keeping with this special glory, the relics bestowed on them by the co-lord are usually not ordinary, as can be seen from the Black Hole Hammer.

Arajina looked serious but not panicked at the terrifying hammer blow, her stained gown clinging to her body, and followed her in a beautiful turn in the air, and the Ice Prince's sword rubbed against Helena's hammer like a protective armor.

"Buzz!"

The burst of frost made Helena's joints that she tried to move extremely sluggish, but her strength was too great, and the moment she held the hammer in both hands, the speed of the giant hammer was also extremely fast, and she soon caught up with the figure of Arajina trying to dodge the hammer.

Arajina, who was unavoidable in mid-air, shrank her pupils slightly, so she had to do her best to reduce her losses, covering her head and chest with both hands, gritting her teeth and preparing to eat the sudden blow.

"Wow!"

But at this moment, a strong wind from the snow-capped mountains of the north suddenly swept from the end of the street, and the wind shook Helena's hammer movement, and between the lightning and flint, a pale blue lightning suddenly burst out, grabbing Arajina and taking him out of the attack range.

"Boom!"

What happened just now was only a millisecond, and the next moment, Helena's empty giant hammer swept across the street in front of her, and the huge force spread down the street as if it was about to sink the entire island, and the roar of the explosion mixed with the strong suction carried down the air and the ground, and the resulting aftermath of the Wisdom blew Osie and the Aragina she was carrying out at once, rolling a few times and falling to the ground in the distance.

"Ahem..."

"Alajina! Stand up! You dull coward, poor wretch hiding in your father's arms! ”

Helena, who struck in the air, still did not give up, and then rushed in the direction of Arajina with the war hammer in her hand, and the phoenix knight behind her was just about to follow, when she suddenly heard a dense sound behind her like a bee flapping its wings rapidly.

"Buzz!"

The Phoenix Knights looked back and saw two or three wheels of light that were constantly fanning in the empty street sprinting towards them.

Three-ring magic, the dance of bees.

"And the enemy attack!"

The dance of bees that could cut through steel struck the Phoenix Knights standing behind Helena in an instant, but only to explode with a sharp grinding sound on the surface of their armor, completely missing their protection.

In the orthodox countries of the Western Continent and the Northern Border, there are usually combat units called "knights", and due to the unique historical and cultural characteristics of different countries, they also have different strengths and weaknesses.

The royal knights of Nari are good at group combat, and they are also the best knights with modern firearms, and all the panels are well-balanced.

According to Fisher's rank division method, the average rank of each person in a standard six-person knight team is about three to four ranks, which is the most decent type of knight level in various countries.

The average physical fitness of women in the north is far superior to that of men in other countries, and the average rank of the Phoenix Knight, who is known for his physical fitness and excellent equipment, is definitely much higher than that of the knights of Saint Nari, probably hovering around the fifth order.

Fisher's Bee Dance only has the power of the three rings, and of course it can't penetrate their armor, but he didn't think of using the Bee Dance to solve them.

"Fisher?"

The sudden attack instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and Osie and Aragina wrapped in her wings looked up at the same time, and through the little smoke and dust that had just been raised by Helena's attack, they saw a strange man in a white shirt with a cloak wrapped around his head rushing towards him.

Osie's cloak was a bit short for Fisher, and it was very inconvenient to run, so Fisher had to wrap it directly around his face in order to hide his face.

Ossie recognized the cloak on Fisher's face as her personal belonging, and when she saw this, she didn't know what was in mind, and her face became slightly rosy.

And under her wings, Aragina opened her mouth, and the next second she reached out and gently pushed Osie away with an abnormal face next to her, stood up, and shouted to Fisher in the distance with concern,

"Fisher, wait, be careful!"

The innocent Aragina only put the safety of her distant sweetheart first at this time, so she didn't care about other things, and she didn't even notice the strange face of the loyal guard Ossie beside her.

Helena in front of her was obviously aware of the intimate relationship between the masked man behind her and Arajina, only to see her lick her lips gently, turn her head to stare at Aragina in front of her rather playfully, and say to the Phoenix Knight behind her,

"Catch that man for me, I'm going to take off his clothes in front of this coward and play with her man again, and let her see what a real woman is..."

Emhart, who was standing on Fisher's shoulder in the distance, heard this, and subconsciously wanted to answer "There are such good things" on behalf of Fisher, the bad man, but when he poked his head out and saw Helena's bear-like figure, he immediately became dumb and silently retracted behind Fisher's shoulder...

Well, even Emhart, who is prejudiced against Fisher, has to admit that Fisher is just a little weird and usually likes to "study" the subhuman race, but he is definitely not blind to distinguish between humans and animals.

But the main owner Fisher didn't react after hearing this, he never cared about the enemy's verbal threats, he just moved closer in the direction of the Phoenix Knight, and at the same time quickly analyzed the combat power level and items carried by the Phoenix Knights around him.

There is no magic, and the relics are only available to the leading woman, and that guy should be Helena, the sister of Arajina, so these phoenix knights should be able to deal with...

"You bastard!"

Fisher was still thinking, but he didn't expect Helena's hi-like trash talk to unexpectedly completely anger Arajina behind her.

Under the influence of her father, Aragina gradually grew into a very different lady from her mother, and the most traditional type of Sardinian woman.

Such a Satinia woman is loyal and simple to love and lovers, and she hates bastards who destroy other people's feelings and meddle in other people's love, otherwise when she met Fisher for the first time, Arajina would not have let go decisively after hearing that Fisher was married.

And Helena's "minotaur"-like speech instantly angered Alajina, the pure love god of war from the Satinia country, and when everyone didn't react, Alajina's body was like an avalanche to vent a terrifying cold.

But she didn't summon the apparition of the Ice Prince, nor did she use any other weapon, she gritted her teeth and grabbed Helena's waist from behind with her empty hand, and in everyone's astonished eyes, she rushed towards the tavern in front of her with Helena, who looked like a giant bear.

Throughout the time, Fisher saw Aragina as a gentle nobleman, and this impression always made people think that she was more like a sassy lady, forgetting the fact that she was actually a sturdy woman from the Sardinian women's country.

The ladies of the Sardinia women's country are brave and warlike, and they like to fight and dance against the wind and snow, and they are usually more ruthless in hand-to-hand combat than people from other countries.

"Lord Helena!"

"Bump!"

Aragina picked up Helena and took her all the way into the wall of the tavern next to her, and the violent impact was transmitted inward along Helena's armor, making her subconsciously raise her hand and smash on Alagina's back to break free, but no matter how she hit, she couldn't let the enraged Alagina go.

The next moment, Alagina had already pinned her to the ground and slammed punch after punch into her face.

"That's in a hurry, Arajina? Come on! Let me see what you have to protect your man! ”

"Helena! You bastard! Stay away from him! ”

The phoenix's bird's head mask was dented by Arajina's punch, and even the vision in the gap between the helmet was blurred by the distortion of metal.

"Buzz!"

The whine of metal in the tavern sounded, and the wall where a large hole suddenly appeared in the door made the hearts of the people outside palpitate.

The street outside was eerily quiet, only Emhart, who had watched the whole thing, turned his head to look at Fisher beside him with some fear, and warned him with a little trembling lips,

"Hey, listen to me, Fisher, let's get out of that ship when we're done here! The captain of the Sardinia country is not a good stubble, we all looked away before, and we really thought that she was a harmless old good person, this kind of person is the most terrifying! In the unlikely event that your relationship with other women is discovered in the future, it will not end better than being caught by Elizabeth of St. Nari, I can assure you! ”

"Shut up."

“… I'm here for your own good, don't you know what's wrong! ”

Emhardt's foul duck voice revived the pause outside, and Ossie flapped her wings in place and floated in place, and the Phoenix Knights drew their swords at Fisher and Osie as they approached in this direction.

Pattishen Island, which has been quiet for an unknown number of years, has suddenly become very lively today, and the commercial streets here on the island, and the taverns inhabited by the Nari people in the distant streets.

Oh, and the nearby sea.

Out of sight of everyone, several standard-sized warships were approaching Pattioshiman Island, with a light blue flag with a white cloud as the main symbol on their masts.

Such a flag is extremely unfamiliar to well-informed pirates, as if to avoid anyone not recognizing the meaning of this flag, and a line of words is specially written in the northern language under the flag,

"Mia"

It was the ship of the Snow Cloud Assault Force from Mia.

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