43. David One
"Cardinal?"
"That's right, Mr. Fisher, you can call me Cardinal, or you can call me David, or David One, I can identify your name specifically, don't worry."
David One?
How does it sound less like a person, but like the number of some kind of device?
Could it be that it is not the cardinal himself who is talking to him now, but a machine with his will?
Fisher chewed on the title that came out of the other party's mouth in his mind, according to the Creation's classification of the owner of the so-called complete manual, the other party is likely to be the owner of the [Cardinal Complete Manual].
He silently filled his heart with vigilance, and he had to be vigilant at all times when dealing with the owner of the completed manual, especially after the other party had shown him the peculiarities that belonged to the completed manual.
I saw that the room was full of the smell of blood at this time, and the choking smell came from the corpse pieces scattered everywhere, and at the edge of the corpse parts, Fisher found a small tentacle that had been completely inactive, which was Earwind's handwriting at a glance, and then carefully swept around, Fisher also saw a broken arm on the ground with the tattoo of the Nari Overseas Hidden Affairs Bureau.
They seemed to have been cut by some kind of sharp, hot weapon, and the blood splatters on the walls and floors stinked like a scorched one, disgusting like a pot of boiled broth.
And the doll-like cloud cat species standing next to the room just stared blankly at Fisher in the room, as if he were an unconscious puppet.
Terrifying offensive weapons, unknown means of mind control, this seems to be just the tip of the iceberg of the abilities of the mysterious figure called "Cardinal".
Fisher, who glanced around him, retracted his gaze and looked at the prototype of the Annihilation suspended in mid-air in front of him,
"So, these cloud cat species have been your people from the beginning, and it was not for me to contact the Iceberg Queen when they let them appear in front of me?"
The machine with big mechanical eyes shook its body slightly, as if nodding in response,
"Ah, this is just a small way to contact Mr. Fisher, we heard that you have a special interest in subhuman races, so I specially borrowed the bodies of these cloud cat species from the territory of Mia in the north for a while, hoping to attract Mr. Fisher's attention. I'll give them back after that, and they won't remember anything..."
Hearing the cardinal's bland words, although there was no strange sarcasm or ridicule in the other party's tone, Fisher's face was still unconsciously dyed with a black line after hearing it.
What does it mean to have a unique interest in the subhuman race, as if it were strange to have one's own tastes.
It is important to argue that he only has an academic desire for subhuman races.
"But as [Destiny] expected, your understanding of the completion manual is very limited, and you are not clear about the composition and goal of our society, and it is this mission that I have contacted you, and this is my main purpose today. Next, I will give you an overview of what we have learned and the problems of life, and try to establish a stable and friendly relationship with you. ”
The cardinal's voice was so mechanical and dull that Fisher couldn't tell whether he was a living person or a machine.
"Mr. Fisher, based on what we have, you seem to have a completion manual that we don't know, right?"
As the conversation cut to the chase, Fisher was preoccupied with the other party's words, for fear of falling into the trap laid by creation.
The two members of the Creation Society he met so far had a very deep impact on him, which gave him a very bad impression of this Society, and he knew what the difference between the cardinal in front of him and the Destiny Secretary in his mouth was Earwin and Philorn.
However, when he met Earwind, he had already indicated that the Creation Society knew about the completion of the manual on his body, so Fisher chose not to say anything about it.
And after receiving Fisher's reply, the mechanical light on the cardinal's body became brighter and brighter,
"Earwin disobeyed the orders of the Secretary of Destiny in an attempt to take away the two completed manuals from you and defected from the Society, so I received orders from the Secretary of Destiny to liquidate him, and met him by chance in the territory of Swali, and a battle ensued."
Fisher raised his eyebrows after hearing this, Earwind's life form is so strange that even the mythical rank of Elliog can't kill him completely, and the damage can only be done through the conceptual weapon of [Death Rune], is there any other way for this cardinal to deal with Earwind?
"Although I lost a lot, Earwind was also very traumatized by it. His soul was struck by a special cardinal weapon I had made, causing a rift, and because of the unity of soul and body, it caused temporary irreversible damage to his body..."
"But as Destiny said, every problem in the world will have an answer, and in the face of such a problem, Earwind also thought of a solution... He tried to use the power of the spirit world to repair the wounds of his soul and obtain a higher level of soul quality, which is also the purpose of his original intention to take away the soul completion manual from you. ”
"He still hasn't given up on taking the manual from you, he knows that you have a weapon that is very deadly to him, so he plans to stabilize his injuries and condition before coming to you."
Hearing this, Fisher suddenly knew why Earwind was eyeing this piece of ice from Mia.
Emhart had previously told himself that Zhen Bing was a natural link to the spirit world, and that the cubs of the Phoenix species had gained the ability to see the vague future by staring at Zhen Ice for a long time, and now Earwin wanted to replicate this operation and find a way to communicate with the spirit world.
No wonder the guy didn't come to him when he knew he was on the island, it turned out that he was injured and didn't want to conflict with him.
"He infected these Nari people who came to trade on the island of Patthishen through flesh and blood, trying to take Zhen Bing before everyone else, but was discovered by my cardinals everywhere, so I came to deal with him first."
"Speaking of which, I need to remind Mr. Fisher that any matters related to the completion of the manual must not be exposed to the world, and you have no suspicion of the trap I have set, and you are not sensitive enough to the fact that the Snow Cloud Commando has a cardinal, which is not in line with the norm..."
Fisher smiled after hearing this, looked at the cardinal and said,
"I see. Actually, the reason why you want to encircle Earwind is not because he disobeyed your orders and wanted to take the two complete manuals from me, right? The real reason is that he will complete the creation of the manual, and Anna is exposed to the vision of secular society, which may make the learning exposed, right? ”
In the face of Fisher's questioning, the cardinal's tone did not change at all, which was very consistent with his mechanical appearance, and he just continued,
"Actually, the two are not contradictory, and the elimination of Earwind is a multi-pronged choice. Since the disappearance of the former president, the relationship between the owners of the manuals has become less and less solid, and there is nothing we can do about it. Mr. Fisher just needs to know that now we are on your side. ”
"Although I have dispelled Earwind's consciousness, after what I observed just now, it seems that he has gained something from this Ice Rough Stone, and left here without too much entanglement with me..."
As he spoke, the cardinal flew towards the depths of the room, and Fisher hesitated for a second, then followed him inward, until he reached the bed in the bedroom, where he saw a small compartment carved out of the floor.
Looking inside, there was a huge wooden box, and in the middle of the wooden box, a large piece of strange rough stone like beautiful jade was quietly watching Fisher, who was casting his gaze at it.
The rough stone is full of mist, if you look at it for a long time, you always feel that the mist is moving slowly, as if it is some kind of guidance or sign, this strange phenomenon infuses this beautiful stone with spirituality, if it is carved again, it will become a rare work of art in this world.
This is the unique Ice Rough Stone of the Phoenix species.
"He seems to be able to find a way to enter the spirit world through this small piece of ice, but I don't know exactly what the method is, I can only feel his consciousness leave here, I don't know where to run."
Fisher looked down at the ice, and suddenly thought of what had happened on the island before, where the phoenix scroll seemed to have some subtle connection with the spirit world, and the source of that connection was not on the island, but only bloomed through the unique medium of the ice.
And the source of that connection with the spirit world is...
"It's the Frost and Snow Sycamore, that's Earwind's final destination."
Fisher looked at the beautiful rough stone that seemed to contain an infinite mist, and his expression was a little serious.
According to the information on the scroll on the island, it seems that the Mark of the Six Clans is required to open the Frost Snow Sycamore Tree, and Earwin must not know how to enter the Frost Snow Sycamore Tree now, otherwise he would not even take the Mark of the Blue Bird Species with him.
It turned out that there were not only a lot of jewelry and jewels under the beautiful rough stone, but also a small and finely made snowflake-shaped mark lying quietly, Fisher gently reached out and took it out of the box, only to see that in the center of the snowflake-shaped mark, a tall bird species knelt on one knee and looked up at the direction above the mark.
At the top of the imprint is the shape of a snow-capped peak, which, according to the history of the blue bird species, seems to represent the frost-snow sycamore tree where the phoenix lives.
There are still a lot of ancient northern characters on the imprint, but Fisher's current northern language is only a half-baked level, and it is good to be able to maintain daily conversations, this kind of writing is not incomprehensible at all, so he can only wait for Emhart to wake up and ask him later.
"Frost Snow Sycamore Tree, the entry is being searched, please wait... I found it, but this entry mostly appears in the mythological texts of the Frost Phoenix Faith region, and you seem to have some idea of Earwind's destination? ”
Fisher didn't answer his question, and naturally took the imprint of the bird species into his arms, and then looked at the cardinal who was hovering beside him and asked,
"So, the Creation Society asked you to come and contact me or did you want me to join your Society?"
That's what I meant to be, but Destiny mentioned that you might choose to say no now. So even so, I'll help you solve Earwind's problem first, and after that, his Life Completion Manual will be temporarily handed over to you for safekeeping. ”
Fisher raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and at this moment, hearing the meaning of fate in his mouth, suddenly gave him the illusion of seeing an ordinary person in the intensive care ward of a mental hospital, so that Fisher suddenly didn't know whether to feel surprised or frightened.
Either the Fateful Secretary wasn't a madman like Erwin or Philoon, or the madman was more capable of pretending to be mad than the others
"Behind the leniency conditions often mean ulterior motives, say, what does she want me to do for her?"
The cardinal's fuselage flickered on and off, and if you look closely, you will find that there seem to be countless strange symbols flowing in the flowing light.
"As I mentioned before, the Society of Creation has been scattered since the sudden disappearance of the President, and Destiny has been acting as the President for so many years. But after all, this society was founded by the Secretary of Magic, and the Secretary of Destiny can't replace her..."
"She told me that she believed you were the key to the whereabouts of the Wizard. She predicts that one day you will meet the Magician, and she hopes that you will bring her back on the day you meet. ”
Originally, Fisher was a little confused, but after thinking that the Destiny Secretary who had the [Destiny Completion Manual] might be a little forward-looking about fate and the future, he retracted the words that should have been spoken.
But fortunately, now the Creation Society's request for itself is still obvious, and if they give themselves help without asking for anything, Fisher is still a little suspicious.
Outside, Mia's warships didn't seem to have finished negotiating with the local pirates, but sooner or later they would enter the vicinity of the waters of Pattishen Island, Fisher glanced at the situation outside and said,
"I see, I promise to cooperate with you."
"That's fine, I can't stay here for long, and I need to deal with the scene so as not to leave a flaw. Mr. Fisher, you'd better leave the Iceberg Queen and head to the North as soon as possible, and I'll contact you to find Earwind's whereabouts when you get there. As for now, it will take a little time for Mia's warship to enter the port, can I still do something for you? ”
Fisher's expression paused for a second after hearing this, and then subconsciously looked at the unconscious cloud cat sisters standing in the row behind him, he hadn't studied the cloud cat species yet, if only he could get a little bit of biological research progress on the cloud cat species here.
The cardinal behind him, who was suspended in mid-air, noticed his gaze keenly, and before Fisher could speak, he had already nodded to Fisher and asked,
"Mr. Fisher, it's only ten minutes before Mia's warship arrives here, maybe not enough time to do that kind of thing, or is it enough?"
“.”
Fisher's eyes turned to dead fish's, and by this moment he had become more and more sure that the cardinal beside him was not at all a normal human being but more like a brainless machine.
Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
