138. The truth of the banquet
On the morning of the second day of the wedding, Fisher and Valentina, having completed the wedding ceremony, returned to the temple where they had seen Daliou, but the troll with a mouth full of trains was not here, only her husband Kokolia was here to entertain them.
"Two, please wait here for a while to eat, the elder and the rest of the clan have gone to arrange the teleportation ceremony you will use later, and it is estimated that you will be able to leave in the afternoon..."
Cocolia put some food in the temple, and Fisher lowered Valentina from her back and leaned back on the chaise longue she used before, she hadn't eaten much since last night, and now she was probably a little hungry, but the trolls ate very greasy meat, and they occasionally left the Phoenix Bridge to hunt outside, and they also raised some animals in their own tribe, which is why humans have occasionally witnessed trolls before.
Valentina couldn't eat too much of these extremely greasy foods, and Fisher fed her a sip or two before she just wanted to drink water, but Cocolia sat across the table and looked at the two in front of her, and suddenly sighed and said,
"Although I don't know why Her Royal Highness Princess Moon left this will, if it is just for this moment, I am afraid it will make your journey to the Sycamore Tree smoother... Not to mention this, this is the mark that the elders have entrusted me to hand over to you, you have fulfilled the will of the Moon Princess, and so have we, we have been waiting here for more than 5,000 years, just to give the Phoenix bloodline that has re-arrived here the key to return home. ”
Kocolia took out a small box from under the table and pushed it in front of Fisher, and in the box, lying quietly, a small sigil identical to the other five clans, in the center of the sigil, a heavily armored troll species fell on one knee, facing the plane tree emblem above the sigil.
And this also means that Fisher and Valentina have collected all the imprints of the six clans of the Snow Mountain, and have the qualifications to enter the Sycamore Tree.
Just as Fisher and Valentina were looking at the sigil in the box, Cocolia in front of him suddenly smiled and asked a small question,
"Aren't you curious, for an existence like a phoenix, why the key to enter the plane tree is a gift from them to their own scrolls?"
"Why?"
Fisher looked up at Cocoria, but he just stared at the mark in the box,
“... I am six hundred years older than Daliwu, and although I am the husband she married, I am from her mother's generation in strict terms of generation, so I have seen the elders who are now invisible to you, and know more about the secrets of the past. Do you think the phoenix needs a key to return to her hometown? Do you think these spatial distortions that are like a moat to us are an obstacle for Phoenix? ”
"Actually, if the phoenixes want to return to the Sycamore Tree, they don't need these six sigils to enter the Sycamore, they have their own passage to enter the Sycamore... And the entrance to the sycamore opened by the mark of the six clans was not designed for the phoenix from the beginning, it was opened for the creatures under the mountain. ”
Fisher raised an eyebrow, thinking about the words that came out of Cocoria's mouth,
"For the sake of the creatures under the mountain... You are saying that the passage through which the six clans open the gate of the sycamore is designed to ensure that the clans under the mountain can always keep in touch with the phoenix. ”
"Hmm... You just know that the Moon Princess married and gave birth to an heir from a non-phoenix race, and you are moved by her kindness, in fact, not only her, but also the Phoenix King, the two princes, and most of the phoenixes are very friendly to the races under the mountain, and regard them as compatriots. In that war against the stars, the phoenixes led us to victory, and we remember them; On the contrary, the bloodshed, devotion and sacrifice of the tribes were also remembered by them, so from that time on, the entire northern realm, although nominally not united, was faintly linked together by the faith of the phoenix. ”
Cocolia pointed to the sigil in the box, and continued,
"Even if the phoenix can see through the future to a certain extent, there will be omissions after all, so if the clans under the mountain have any difficulties, they can ask the phoenix for help through the six clans opening the entrance to the sycamore, which is why the phoenix gives the mark of the six clans..."
Hearing Cocolia mention of the friendly relationship between the phoenixes and the tribes of the North to take care of each other, Valentina, who had been listening, suddenly had a doubt,
"Wait, if that's the case, then humans should have been a race under the wings of the phoenix at the time, and the phoenix should have been kind to them... But at that time, when the demon came to the celebration banquet, the phoenix casually gave the human as a bargaining chip to the demon, which seemed to be inconsistent with your words. ”
Cocolia shook his head, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when Fisher seemed to have been answered, and he turned his head and explained to Valentina,
"I see, Valentina. The Phoenixes do not regard humans as their fellow creatures of the North, because they are weak and despise them, and in the war, humans also have to pay, and the Phoenixes have recorded all the dead races on the scroll, and from here, it seems that they will not ignore humans, even if they are so weak... The real reason is that the phoenixes had to hand over the ten humans, because the demon who came was not an ordinary demon, she was Baimon. ”
"Bymun, by the way, that's the name, she's not..."
Fisher nodded, and the look in his eyes was quite serious, and he seemed to be able to roughly guess the situation at the celebration banquet.
"As we read in the troll classics before, there are a total of five stars that have invaded the northern realm, two in the northern sky, two in the northern heavens, and one in the southern heavens. And that Baimeng, she was a nineteenth-order demon god, and judging from the gap in the mythical ranks, she was many times stronger than the group of stars tied together. ”
"Therefore, the phoenixes did not despise human beings at all and used them as bargaining chips for betting, but they had no choice but to bet against Baimon, and if they were not careful, it would be the end of the destruction of the whole race. Babyon's visit was not easy for Phoenix, and she cast a shadow of fear over what had been a joyful celebration of the Phoenix, a naked humiliation to all living beings in the North, including Phoenix. ”
Cocolia glanced appreciatively at the clever Fisher in front of him, and then turned to the shocked Valentina and said,
At that time, the Moon Princess left the scene in anger because of the humiliation of Baimon, which frightened the phoenixes, who feared that the demon would be angry with the devastated North. But surprisingly, the horrible demon didn't do that. Not only did she respectfully return the human beings as a bet, but she also specially painted to apologize for the Moon Princess, and then repeatedly apologized to the Phoenix King for her presumptuousness, and then left the North..."
Fisher sighed and picked up what he hadn't finished,
Although Baimon left, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet that fell below freezing point did not dissipate... However, these are old things, Elder Cocoria, if you have anything to say, please say it, why bother to make such a big detour? ”
Cocolia was slightly stunned, and then covered her mouth at Fisher and smiled, the beauty of the male troll was vividly highlighted at this moment, and the men who had diluted countless times the blood of the Sardinia women's country but were still delicate did not know how many times outrageous,
"I can't hide it from you, no wonder the phoenix bloodline will fall in love with you..."
"Huh?"
Valentina, who was sitting next to her, turned rosy and gently wrapped her clothes tightly, as if she was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she had already had a holy marriage with Fisher, and she was his only wife, so she slowly put down the clothes that covered her face.
Cocolia stopped going around the bend, he lowered his head a little, saluted Fisher and Valentina in front of him, and said,
"Then I'll be blunt, Mr. Fisher, Miss Valentina. I always firmly believe that it is no accident that you can get the mark of the other five clans, and the other five clans must be like us, all of them are sincerely looking forward to knowing the changes that have happened in the sycamore, and looking forward to the return of our kings in the past. But year after year of waiting, we have only seen unknown curses and increasingly heavy frost and snow, until today, you return here with the blood of the phoenix..."
"So, no matter what your purpose is for entering the Sycamore, please be sure to solve the curse and reveal the truth about the demise of the phoenix inside, this is the only wish of our six clans to deliver the mark to you. If you need any help, please ask, and we trolls will do our best to meet them. ”
Valentina opened her mouth and looked at Cocolia who was bowing her head in front of her, and an indescribable feeling suddenly came to her heart, the phoenixes have been dead for almost six thousand years, and Cocolia is only about two thousand five hundred years old, which shows that his elders have passed down that kind of loyalty to the phoenix, and the other clans are more or less the same...
How will it take years to wash the phoenixes from the land of the north, and will the blood of the phoenix be able to respond to this expectation?
She turned her head to look at Fisher a little confused, only to find that she had been staring at Cocolia in front of her, and it wasn't until a second or two later that he nodded and said,
】
"I see, we'll do our best... But until then, I need a little magic material, the more the merrier. ”
"Magic materials? What's that? ”
After hearing Fisher's words, Cocolia raised her head and looked at Fisher in front of her rather suspiciously, giving him no answer.
I forgot that these trolls moved to Sema Snow Mountain a long time before the mythical war, and the humans also learned the magic from the mother goddess before the mythical war, and it is normal for them not to know, but the magic materials are not products that only exist after the mythical war, there must be a lot of this strange snow mountain, and Fisher noticed that there was such a thing in the medicine that the trolls gave Valentina to drink last night.
He decided to give Valentina a makeover of his [Sweet Dream] before going to the Sycamore Tree, at least to be able to bring himself and his soul to the rift.
"It's okay, then take me to your pharmacy to have a look, I'm going to get some medicine to use."
“... No problem, this side please. ”
Fisher got up and put away the sigil on the table, and said to Cocolia, that he was going to engrave the magic himself for a while, and that it was not convenient to bring Valentina with him, so he asked her to rest here for a while.
......
......
Fisher followed Cocolia to the storehouse where the trolls stored their medicines, fortunately, there were a lot of magical materials here, and because the trolls had a long lifespan, they needed drugs much less often than they had been growing, so there were a lot of unprocessed materials piled up here.
Fisher was going to improve Valentina's Dream Ring Spell here, and in his previous investigation, he found that this magic used a lot of magic power to pull the soul into the crack, which meant that if he wanted to pull a high-level existence like Life Qing into the crack, this magic could consume most of the magic power in his body.
Fisher looked at the magic part again, with his magic level, the main ring of this magic is very complicated, Valentina's mother may really be a genius of magic, I don't know how she conceived this magic to construct dreams, he can only change the general structure of the secondary ring now.
Therefore, in terms of the tactics of entering the Sycamore Tree, the magic that can be used against Earwind is already the limit, and as for the curse of the Sycamore, he must rely on other means, such as Earwind.
Earwin wants the curse's priority to be higher than himself, he has to use the nature of the curse to communicate with the spirit world to enter the mythical rank to be 100% sure of killing himself with the death rune, so he must give priority to dealing with the curse of the sycamore, he can use his power to pull him into the gap the moment he defeats the curse, Earwin doesn't know that he has such a magic that can be used as a hole card.
But in order to hide from Earwind, he also needs to craft other magic to cover up, and he also needs to consider other variables, such as Valentina, if her entry makes the curse aware of her location, then the curse will definitely come to him and lure Earwind over.
Fisher sat alone in the center of the pharmacy and kept thinking, and a series of exquisite magic crests were also engraved in his hands, first of all, the most headache-inducing dream magic, which consumed the most of his time, and secondly, a [soul] ring head magic that can block the perception of the spirit world, this Fisher has not tried the effect, it was designed on the spot, and then open it to see if Valentina's injury can cause a curse.
From morning till night, Fisher's movements and thoughts did not stop for a moment, until the door behind her suddenly opened, revealing the huge figure of Daliwu, at this time, as soon as she entered, she saw magic materials all over the ground, and Fisher, who was sitting in front of the chair and putting magic into his arms, his magic circuit lit up, and his head was a little drowsy because of the hallucination of finishing the manual,
"Wow, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight, and I said that the teleportation ceremony has been arranged... Why don't you leave tomorrow, your wife is still lying in the hall waiting for you, it's been a day. ”
But Fisher just rubbed his temples and waved his hand at her, feeling the magic in his body begin to recover again, and he said,
"It's okay, I'll just rest for a while, but we have to leave tonight. By the way, I have to take some herbs and food when I leave, I don't know what the situation is on the side of the sycamore..."
Daliwuu touched his head, but he didn't dissuade him, just nodded and said,
"Okay then, you can come out after you rest, I'll take you and the Phoenix bloodline to the place of the teleportation ceremony, and prepare some luggage for you to bring over by the way... Oh, there's a medicine prepared by Kokolia over there, and your soul power seems to be lost, so that thing can be replenished, so you can eat some. ”
Daliwuu pointed to the medicine on the shelf next to him as he walked out, Fisher raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look, only to see that it said [Derivative Medicine], which didn't sound like a good thing.
Fisher shook his head and was not going to use the drug, lest he could not bear to do something bad. He had already been quite restrained in engraving the magic just now, and he hadn't wasted his mana excessively, and because Yaren Niang had completed the [Post-Reproduction Enhancement] given by the manual, his mana recovery speed was terrifyingly fast, of course, it was not as serious as it was in Mia, so he was ready to go now.
He packed up the magic materials all over the ground and prepared to go up and leave with Valentina, but as he walked, he suddenly stopped in place and patted his head with some headaches.
He seemed to have forgotten something important, like the Emhardt guy.
