"I still don't understand why the snow fox species proposed a deal with us. They are an extremely closed sub-race, they have not left the tribe for the past few hundred years, and now they have taken the initiative to contact the Turan family, and are even willing to use the mark they regard as treasures as bargaining chips, which is simply incredible. ”

Below the deck of the Narwhal, at the end of the floor where Fisher had been dining, there was a faint male voice, and if you look closely, you can recognize it, it seems to be the voice of Valentina's subordinate Balzac.

The second floor below deck, in addition to the dining room, is actually where Valentina's team works together, and the office room is almost at the bow of the ship, which is very spacious than Fisher's lecture hall at the University of San Nari.

In addition to a large wooden round table, tall bookshelves and soft sofas, the room is furnished with an expensive layer of glass at the front of the room, which makes the room extremely good for light and view.

At this time, the narwhal had just whistled and was about to leave the port of the Nebalon Kingdom for Mia, which is also the habitat of the snow fox species, one of the snow mountain clans, for generations, and they, like the cloud cat species, were given to her youngest child [Moon Princess] by the Phoenix King and became her courtiers.

Fisher sat in his spacious office, cup of coffee, and looked thoughtfully at Balzac, who was pacing back and forth in front of a huge map of the North on the wall of the room, as he prepared for the negotiations with the Snow Fox Species, but it was clear that he had to clear his mind by constantly writing and drawing and talking to himself.

Unlike the sub-races under the rule of the Frost Prince and the Ice Prince, the northern part of the northern realm ruled by the Moon Princess has presented a natural and peaceful landscape since ancient times, and legend has it that the Moon Princess gave all living beings the right to live equally, and let the clans under her wings recuperate by means of inaction, as compensation for the great war.

Therefore, the cloud cat species and the snow fox species that live there are not more special than other species in terms of status, and they have a kind of mascot meaning, which is known in modern times because of their fluffy and soft white hair.

Because of this, Fisher has reason to believe that the god [Frost Phoenix] that modern northerners believe in is actually a combined version of the image of the King of the Phoenix and the three sons of the Phoenix.

The [Frost Phoenix] in northern mythology encourages commerce, advocates the courage and strength of battle, and also advocates the mutual assistance and symbiosis of different species, corresponding to the most short-tempered but also the most powerful [Ice Prince], the "Frost Prince" who is keen to make money in business, and the most kind and gentle [Moon Princess].

Time is the most unreasonable existence, and Fisher doesn't know how the image of the phoenix species is mixed like this by humans or other species.

After listening to Balzac's incomprehensible words just now, Phyllis, who was also sitting in the chair, yawned, looking a little lacking in interest, and then, the muffin ears on her head trembled, as if there was a flash of inspiration, and clapped her hands and shouted at Balzac,

"I see! They must have found the boss's family because they were short of money?! ”

“.”

Balzac glanced at Phyllis with the expression of a fool, although he had long known the truth that "a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth", but every time Phyllis opened his mouth, he could refresh the lower limit of this phrase and make himself jaw-dropping.

He sighed and couldn't say anything to answer Phyllis, but Fisher, who was sitting in the distance, put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Balzac and asked,

"Didn't the Turan family tell Miss Valentina the reason why the Snow Fox Species suddenly agreed to negotiate?"

Balzac looked at Fischer, shook his head and said,

"It's a pity that they didn't disclose any details about the negotiations. And because of the xenophobia of the snow fox species, it is difficult for even the Turan family, whose power is pervasive in the north, to know the specific situation. ”

After the night in the Moon Rabbit Ancestral Hall, his attitude towards Fisher quietly changed a little, although he was not very enthusiastic and familiar, but he was always polite, because he had realized that this gentleman from Nari not only had high academic achievements, but most importantly, he was very capable of fighting, anyway, it was more than enough to beat ten of himself, so his attitude was naturally a lot gentler.

Phyllis next to her immediately slumped in her chair a little irritably, and kept looking at the clock on the wall, as if she was calculating how much time there was left for dinner.

"Then since we don't know anything, we are still here to discuss a bird, and then we can think about it when the other party makes a request?"

It can be seen that Phyllis doesn't like things that use her brain very much, and it's always winter since she arrives in the north, and the lion race in the southern continent has to sleep in winter?!

Balzac glared at her with hatred, and scolded,

"Preparation is necessary, are you going to repeat the mistakes of Herdor?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room was quiet for a moment, and Phyllis also sat up straight, glanced behind her, and after not seeing the figure in a wheelchair, she turned her head to look at Balzac angrily and scolded,

"Of course I don't want to! Then you have come up with a useful way to do it, it's almost early in the morning, in addition to asking questions or asking questions, in order to solve the problem when the boss asks you to come, you have been asking questions and there is a bird! ”

"Your mother."

Even Balzac Hahn, who came from the Schwali tradition of academic family, couldn't help but explode when he heard Phyllis's words, and if he had been stronger, he would have to show the damned stinking illiterate lion what it was like to be beaten.

The two people in the distance knew about it, and he was almost used to the time he had been on the boat, so he just took the "Compendium of Northern History" on the table next to him, which recorded a lot of northern history and folklore, including of course the unique subhuman race of the snow fox species, so that this foreign scholar from Nari made up for the common sense here.

It does not record the appearance of the snow fox species, but it does record their most distinctive feature, which is a sharp nose.

It's not that their noses look weird, as the sub-species of the Moon Princess is loved by the Moon Princess, they certainly don't look very ugly, and their noses are mentioned here because legend says that they can judge other people's emotions and personalities by their smell, and any lies, concealment, and malice will be hidden in front of their sharp noses.

In the ancient period when the phoenix ruled the north, the snow fox species were natural diplomats and the most dignified judges in the court, and when the moon princess was away, the conflicts in the northern part of the north were all mediated by them, but since the phoenixes disappeared, of course, no one listened to their advice anymore, so they hid and no longer communicated with other malevolent races.

It is precisely because of the special abilities possessed by the snow fox species that Balzac wanted to make some preparations in advance, and their abilities were so useful at the negotiation table that it was easy to take their chips easily.

"Mr. Balzac, let's put the matter of the snow fox species for a while, we now have the three marks of the blue bird, the moon rabbit and the cloud cat in our hands, and the rest except for the snow fox species, which already knows the exact location, is there still the mark of the troll species and the slime species."

Balzac, who had almost missed a fight with Phyllis in the distance, nodded, and glanced at the ice-covered ocean outside the narwhal, and on the other side of the sky, the majestic Sema Snow Mountain was hidden in the clouds, showing its mystery and majesty to outsiders.

"Well, but neither of these sigils is easy to get, and so far there are no clues at all. The slime species are too scattered, unlike the rest of the clans that have fixed settlements, and I heard that in recent years, many slimes have left the north to do business in other places, and I even suspect that they have sold their imprints; As for the troll species, there is not even a single confirmed news, it seems that they have completely become a myth and legend along with the phoenix, but some people say that they are still living somewhere in the Sema Snow Mountain. ”

Fisher tapped on the cover, the records of several clans in the book all showed that the six clans had not fared very well so far, not only had the humans forgotten their contributions to following the phoenix species, but even the curse of the frost and snow sycamore tree itself seemed to be the most liquid for them, why was this?

Emhart on his shoulder usually does not participate in the discussion, but only yawns and lets Fisher read the content in his hand, and only when he has any doubts and asks him what is in his stomach will he look through the survival in his stomach, before Fisher copied and supplemented the knowledge in the manual but hurt him, it seems to have caused some kind of unspeakable internal injury, and he needs to rest well, so he has very little to say today.

At this moment, the door behind Fisher suddenly opened, and he turned his head to look, only to see the white-haired girl in a wheelchair appear at the door, she changed into a black northern lady robe, this kind of clothing is characterized by being heavier, so it makes Valentina look very elegant, even the wheelchair under her can't hide this.

She is like a butterfly that can't flapp its wings, statically displaying the beauty on its wings.

"Boss."

"Miss Valentina."

Balzac and Phyllis both stood up and said hello, but Fisher didn't move, just politely said hello, and let Valentina look at him more, but didn't care,

"Don't worry too much, since the snow fox species took the initiative to contact us, it means that they have something very urgent and need our help, as the party being requested, of course we have the initiative, and the other two races. Although the slime species are scattered, there seems to be some way to connect with each other, and when the time comes, we can find a slime and lure it with a lot of money. ”

I don't know why, it's clear that the object of Valentina's "lure with heavy money" is the legendary greedy slime, but at this moment, it was the lion race Phyllis next to her who subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"There are still two days to go before you arrive at Miya, and during this time, I hope you will have a good rest, and then officially start working when you arrive at Miya. Before I do that, I'll pay you the wages you were hired for. ”

"Yay! Long live the boss! ”

Phyllis jumped up with joy when she heard this, although Balzac was helpless, this time he rubbed his brows without a headache, and it seemed that he was looking forward to the upcoming salary.

Valentina smiled, and the two maids behind her each walked in with a plate covered with a red cloth, and respectfully put the plate in front of Phyllis and Balzac, Balzac thanked him but did not open the red cloth to check the contents of the first time, Phyllis didn't care about these at all, directly lifted the red cloth, picked up the northern banknotes tied in a bundle and began to rub.

There was a lot of trade in the north, so large denominations were issued for convenience, and one of them was 20,000 silver dollars in the north, so you can see how much money was in the bundles on the plate.

The pride of the Turan family was in full bloom at this moment in the thin girl, but Fisher blinked, glanced at the emptiness in front of him, and then at Valentina with a smile behind her.

Well?

I said I didn't need it before, but it's really gone?

Fisher glanced at Valentina, although she didn't speak, but her eyes probably meant this, but she didn't expect that Valentina, who was still smiling just now, also happened to turn her head to look at Fisher at this time, just in line with his eyes.

I don't know if it's an illusion, when she saw this scene, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened into a very imperceptible arc, maintaining a deep calm, she looked up at the ceiling,

"Celti has been busy with the machinery for this time, and the salary has been handed over to her, and then you have to rely on her to enter the Sema Snow Mountain, otherwise I can't enter the Sema Snow Mountain in my state. Ah, I almost forgot, and Mr. Fisher forgot to send it, I'm really sorry. ”

It wasn't until she finished her sentence that Valentina "suddenly" realized something, and "with hindsight" set her eyes on Fisher, who was sitting in her chair.

“.”

Fisher was speechless, and did not interrupt her rough acting skills, just sat there and watched her perform, but Miss Valentina was obviously very conservative, and this extra "little action" was already the limit of her liveliness, she did not continue to tease Fisher, but smiled and invited him,

"According to your request earlier, I have prepared your reward for you, do you want to go and see it with me now?"

Well?

What did I ask for?

That night I didn't seem to be asking for it all. Want to study subhumans?

Fisher thought as he slowly closed the book in his hand.

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

Thank you very much for your support!
