70. Hedilyn
"Hiss!"
The two horses in front of the carriage gasped for breath in the cold north, and galloped forward along the frosty country lane, carrying the heavy wagon behind them, the decaying church behind them growing smaller and smaller in Fisher's eyes, and the silhouette of the smoked furnace castle in the distance became more and more obvious.
Fisher's clothes were thin but he didn't feel any cold, and after a night of resting, he had healed from the storm and no longer felt the stinging sensation on his body.
"Zizi. Mr. Fisher, our ship is docked in the harbor outside Fort Furnace, and we are now on board and set out for the Nebalon country, so we will have to eat dinner only on board. ”
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"Zizi. In fact, we had the idea of tracing the Frost Snow Sycamore Tree from the Six Clans a long time ago, but it wasn't until not long ago that Valentina saw a glimmer of light after entering Mia's Bird Cultivation Underground Palace. Valentina had been searching for these clues for several years, and she certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity. ”
I don't know if it's because Fisher is a student of Haytham, and Herdor next to him is quite kind and honest with him, not only asked Fisher if he was cold when he just got into the car, but also told him something about the progress of their current search for the mark, and seemed to trust him, a student of Haytham.
The carriage was not very soundproofed, and Fisher, sitting at the front of the carriage, could occasionally hear Valentina and Iros talking in the carriage behind him.
The conversation was probably more about the demise of the Moon Rabbit species, in fact, the Turan family had received this news several years ago, and they had taken in many of the Moon Rabbit species that had fled the Nebaron Kingdom, but even if they were far from their homeland, they would still suddenly be killed at night.
The process of dying was roughly the same as that of the crew Fisher had seen on the islands of the southern continent at the time, covered in feathers, and eventually dying of blood loss.
It was because they had learned from the Moon Rabbit species that they seemed to understand those curses when they landed on the island.
Fisher suddenly remembered the illusory sight he had seen around the Ice Scroll when he was sealing it, and he always felt that it was very different from the vision in the spirit realm, more like something else he couldn't understand.
The carriage had been traveling for less than half an hour, and in the distance at the harbor of Fort Furnace, Fisher saw the ironclad that he had seen before, several times smaller than the Iceberg Queen, and he had only seen the shape of the ship from a distance.
Now that he was closer, he noticed that a huge whale with a single horn on its head had been drawn on the side of the ship, which seemed to correspond to the icebreaker spear in front of the ship.
A blue flag with pentagonal snowflakes bloomed on the mast above the ship, and the wind rose again in the Sardinian country, shaking the flag like a wave, and there was no one in front of the ship, except for a crew member dressed in light blue and wearing the same five-pointed snowflake markings waiting below.
"Miss Valentina, according to your orders, the narwhal's steam engine has been warmed up and is ready to leave McDowell."
Seeing Valentina's carriage coming from a distance, the crew members leaned respectfully to the side of the carriage and spoke.
The curtain behind the carriage was lifted a little by a white palm, and from it came a faintly fragrant response,
"Get on board, we're going to leave now."
"Yes, Miss."
Fisher got out of the carriage first, followed by Phyllis and Balzac, who were not dealing with each other but were more wary of themselves, Fisher ignored them, and they were forced to stay near the carriage because their boss had not yet dismounted.
And the "fake pregnant woman" Sister Iros, because she hadn't been in the carriage for so long for too long, couldn't help but reach out and touch the slightly raised tail part of her nun's robe as soon as she got off the car, and glanced at the huge ship parked in the harbor with some discomfort, and stood beside Fisher.
"Ah, the Turan family, they have finally seen the master of their family. Hey, did I tell you that their family has lived in a five-pointed snowflake-shaped fortress for generations, and it is rare to see members of their family come out to move?"
Emhardt looked at the huge banner fluttering in the wind in the sky, and couldn't help but say to Fisher, and when it came to the head of the Turan family, both of them couldn't help but look in the direction of the carriage, where Valentina, who was in a wheelchair, was being carried down from the carriage by Herdor.
Her legs seemed to have some kind of unknown congenital disability, which made her life bound to the wheelchair under her, and her temperament was dyed with a faint fragile color, especially when Fisher saw her being carried out of the carriage with a blank face.
Speaking of which, when she was by her side before, the sub-human mother completed the manual and showed a kind of gibberish of unknown meaning, which either showed that Valentina was a sub-human race that could not even be identified by the sub-human mother after completing the manual, or it meant that her situation was special and did not meet the norms of determining the sub-human mother after completing the manual.
Fisher, on the other hand, did not believe that there would be a subhuman race that could not even be determined by the completion of the manual by the Asian mother, so he believed that it was the latter.
In other words, Valentina is deeply connected to subspecies, if not subhuman.
There was a thoughtful look in his gaze as he looked at Valentina, but it wasn't obvious, only Emhart on his shoulder noticed a hint and glanced at him speechlessly.
The Turanian ship, the Narwhal Whale, was also boarded in a much softer manner than Aragina's Iceberg Queen, at least now Fisher and the pot-bellied Ilos no longer had to drag chains up to the deck, as the ship was equipped with mechanical lifts.
"Boss, since the mark of the cloud cat species has been obtained, and the mark of the moon rabbit species has now been found, and the orphan of the moon rabbit has been found, should we contact the tribe of the snow fox species to find the mark?"
On the elevator, Phyllis leaned against the wall and flicked the gold coin in her hand, Balzac's words reawakened Valentina, who had closed her eyes and recuperated, and she silently glanced at Fisher, who was holding her chest and didn't know what to think, and then rubbed her temples with some headaches.
Herdol, who was behind her, noticed Valentina's movements and spoke,
"Zizi. The Snow Fox species is a very xenophobic race, and although they are often seen in the northern part of the North, they are very unfriendly to other races. According to the information in the family, the sigil is still in their hands, but it is usually very difficult to communicate with them, and it is probably impossible to get them to hand over the sigil."
"Tsk, isn't it just a bunch of stinky subhuman species, even if we steal it?"
Balzac muttered in a low voice, but Elise behind him jerked the gold coin in her hand and made a crisp sound, and at the same time, the muffin-like lion's ears and eyes became unkind, which made his words come to an abrupt halt.
He almost forgot that there were two other subhumans by his side.
Balzac silently withdrew his words into his stomach and said no more, but leaned against the wall with a pout.
"I'll figure out a way after the snow fox species imprint, we now have the cloud cat species imprint in our hands, and the blue bird species and the moon rabbit species imprint also have clues."
Valentina suddenly spoke, and when she talked about the marks of "blue bird species" and "moon rabbit species", she glanced at Fisher and Ilos next to her, and then continued to say to Balzac,
"You can start looking for clues about the imprints of the remaining two subspecies, the troll species have been missing for too long, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult to find them, so let's start with the sigils of the slime species."
"No problem, boss, I'll prepare it later."
Valentina nodded, and the entire elevator came to a shudder, and with the sound of creaking mechanical parts, the door in front of her suddenly opened, revealing the space inside the cabin.
The wide corridors covered with blankets were filled with soft magical lights, and the contrast between the cold temperatures of the north and the cold temperatures of the north was the warm, sun-kissed breeze.
The warm temperature was mixed with a faint fragrance of women, revealing the figure of a lady wearing traditional northern clothes who had been waiting for a long time at the door of the elevator.
"Miss Valentina, ladies and gentlemen, good evening, hot water and dinner are ready, welcome back."
There was a gentle smile on her mature countenance, and her broad heart was not much better than that of Mother Teresa in her memory, and her long, pure black hair was tied into a knot with a glittering crown of hair set with an emerald green gem, which made it look quite conspicuous.
The last time he had seen this lady on the island, it seemed that she was called "Hediline", but at the time he had the impression that she did not wear the crown.
"Zizi. Mr. Fisher, the ship's superintendent, Miss Hedilyn, was also in charge of Valentina's daily life. Hedilyn, this is Fisher Benavides, the last time we met on the island, he will now work with us to find the mark. ”
"Hello, Lady Hedilyn."
"Hello, Mr. Fisher, we met once before, and it's a pleasure to see you here again. Ah, and this adorable moon rabbit nun? ”
"Huh? That one. Mother God bless no, no, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Hedilyn reached out and cupped her cheek and greeted Fisher and Iros, and then glanced carefully at Emhart on Fisher's shoulder, as if she was a little surprised by his ugliness, and saw that Emhart was so uncomfortable that she almost didn't hide in Fisher's pocket.
The gaze in her blue eyes was gentle, as dazzling as the emerald gem set in the crown of her hair, and she was as warm as the temperature in the room.
"Alright, Hedilyn, arrange a room for each of the two of them, and then take them to the dining room. I'm going back and getting dressed. ”
Valentina pushed her wheelchair out of the elevator and walked deeper into the corridor, Balzac and Elise had long been regular passengers on the ship, after seeing the wheelchair Valentina go away, Phyllis's smile immediately became dangerous, and she looked at Balzac next to her,
"Heh, you dead dog, you were very good at talking in there just now, next time you pray that when something happens to you, don't let me, a stinky subspecies, save you, or I'll be sorry for what you just said."
Balzac tilted his lips and glanced at Iros, who was still in the elevator. and Fisher, who was looking at him in front of him, and Hedilyn, who was smiling next to him, was also looking at him.
He opened his mouth and didn't say anything, just looked at the unkind Phyllis and snorted coldly,
"Huh"
Balzac shook his red robe and was just about to go inside, when the depths of the corridor suddenly trembled, and then there was a continuous loud noise, as if countless metal parts were shaking and rubbing wildly, startling him,
", what is this Celti doing, she's going to tear this ship up sooner or later. None of these guys are reliable, and there's another one."
Phyllis spit on the carpet next to her, laughing rather disdainfully, and just as she was about to leave here in a proud way, the ears on her head shook uneasily, and then she reached out and touched her hair with some embarrassment, and turned back to the smiling Hedilyn and smiled,
"Hah, I forgot I can't spit on the boat. Haha, sorry. ”
"If you could remember to flush the toilet, I might be happier, Miss Phyllis."
Hedilyn opened her mouth with a smile, which made Phyllis, who had just been in high spirits, feel empty, and she silently took a step back, and while sweeping the stains off the ground with the lion's tail behind her, she moved back unconsciously,
"Next time, definitely. Next time, definitely."
Seeing that Hedilin didn't want to pay attention to herself at all, Phyllis's steps instantly became brisk, and she ran towards the room deep in the corridor like a joy, watching her six relatives leave without knowing her back, and only the four Fisher were left at the door of the elevator.
With a sigh, Hedilyn withdrew her gaze and turned back to a thoughtful Fisher and said,
"Although these guys are very good at work, they really don't dare to compliment their private life, just like children. But maybe it's this kind of informality that allows them to focus on what's in front of them? Alright, Mr. Fisher, let me take you to your room, for dinner is about to begin, and there is not much time to delay. ”
She tapped her lips, the ripeness of her lips releasing from the corners of her non-pink lips, matching the crown of hair she wore on her forehead.
