49. Curtain barrier

"Teacher Fisher, have they arrived at the Heriel Angels?"

"Well, it should be."

Fisher and Asuka Karasawa followed Neklia who was holding the little phoenix Nephilamui and walked down the waterfall just now, there was a corresponding road down, but it seemed to be rarely used, it was covered with a thick layer of moss, and Nefiramui trampled a lot of innocent moss when he trotted up all the way just now.

Most of the time, the phoenixes fly by flying, as Fisher had seen in the Frosty Sycamore.

But as if to take care of the two wingless humans behind her, Nekolia also walked ahead with a spear, and it wasn't long before Fisher and Asuka Karasawa saw a very tall tree in front of the waterfall, and many beautiful houses were built in the air around the big tree, but it was too simple compared to the frost and snow plane trees in the north later.

"Humans, where did you come from? Did it come from outside the plane tree? ”

In the silence, the "Little Phoenix King" who was sucking his fingers blinked, and suddenly asked so curiously about Fisher and Tang Ze Asuka.

Tang Ze Asuka glanced at Fisher, and seeing that he was silent, he nodded with a smile and said,

"Well, we're from the Sanctuary... Although I don't know exactly where the Sanctuary is, it should be quite far from the Tree Continent, right? ”

"Well... Hmm, I'm curious about what the outside world looks like, I don't like the Tree Continent at all, the elves here are so fierce. My grandfather died because of the elves, and my mother often cried alone at night... Recently, my father has not allowed us to go out, and even my brother, who is an official outside, has been called back..."

Is it because of the changes in the royal capital of the Tree Continent?

Fisher suddenly thought of something, and he turned to Nekolia, who was holding Nephilamui with an expressionless face, and asked,

"All the phoenix species have returned to their hometowns, is it because you see something changing in the future?"

“?”

Nefiramui still held her fingers in her mouth, tilting her head in confusion, and even her cold-faced sister turned her head, completely unaware of what Fisher was talking about,

"The future? What do you mean..."

"Well, don't you guys see fate?"

Nekolia glanced at Fisher, then slowly withdrew his gaze, shaking his head in denial,

"We don't have that ability, we're just very good at combat, you may be mistaken."

“......”

Fisher was slightly stunned when he heard this, and fell silent for a while.

Although Fisher didn't speak, he thought to himself, how could he be mistaken, his wife was a crippled phoenix species before and could see the future, but you are her ancestors, but you can't?

What is the truth of this?

Just now he saw that Nekolia believed in himself so much, and thought that they saw some kind of future, knowing that his group might be coming, and by the way, he also wanted to get more information about the future from their mouths to make plans, who could have known, Nekolia actually said that the phoenix did not have the ability to see the future?

The past of this world is really getting more and more weird, first the demon species does not exist, and now there is a "contradiction" with the future, which suddenly makes Fisher wonder.

Although he did know that the phoenix's ability to predict the future was acquired, according to them, the phoenix who lived in the Eastern Continent, that is, the Tree Continent, obtained the ability to predict the future by looking at the light of the World Tree, and when the root of the World Tree was stolen by the dragon god Femabaha, they followed the root of the tree and migrated to the north, and made "Zhen Ice" through the root, which also allowed the descendants to gain the ability to predict the future...

Haven't they seen the light of the World Tree yet?

Fisher turned his head to look in the center of the continent, where the Illusory World Tree, which was as huge as a planet, was dyed a dazzling gold by the sun, transforming into the most breathtaking and wonderful scenery in the Tree Continent, but it was clear that that light was not the light that the phoenixes had gained power.

"Mr. Fisher?"

“... Nothing, I misremembered. ”

Suddenly he remembered the admonition of the hook kiss, and he did not reveal the slightest thing about the future, but withdrew his gaze, and quietly followed Nekolia towards the great tree under the waterfall.

......

......

Fisher and Tang Ze Asuka followed Nekolia in front of them and walked up the giant tree, and many phoenixes were also flying towards this giant tree from around this not wide settlement, in addition to the sound of huge wings shaking, it was also mixed with the sound of countless ice crystals shining, and the surrounding temperature was extremely low, Fisher felt that it was okay, but Tang Ze Asuka gently hugged his shoulder, still muttering something in a low voice.

"Circle... Circle... Draw..."

"Is it cold?"

Fisher heard her whispering, and thought it was because she simply felt cold, but she shook her head and said,

"Also... It's okay, it's acceptable. ”

"So, I thought you were too cold to stand it."

"No, I'm just remembering what Mr. Fisher taught before... I don't have a very good memory, I'm afraid I'll forget. But I don't know if it's because Mr. Fisher taught me well, but it seems that it is much easier to memorize these things. ”

Asuka Karasawa touched her head embarrassedly, allowing Fisher to look at her more, but quickly looked away,

"I forgot to ask, how did you do that magic that night alone?"

"Well, I don't know..."

Asuka Karasawa diligently recalled the state of holding the carving knife that night, and then hesitated for a moment before adding,

"I just feel... As if he was writing calligraphy, he kept thinking about the lines that Mr. Fisher had carved on the leaves, and then he finished writing as he wrote. ”

"Calligraphy, what's that?"

"Hey, just use a brush to write or something, my father is very good at copying Buddhist scriptures. By the way, Mr. Fisher asked the Chinese about the clue before, and it seems that calligraphy came to Japan from China..."

"So... So, are you good at calligraphy? ”

Asuka Karasawa shook her head decisively, she smiled dryly,

"It shouldn't be counted, because my father asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures, I never copied them, I was always lazy."

Fisher didn't ask any more, for they had already led Nekolia to the top of the Giant Tree, which was similar to Tsubaki's palace, except that it was completely suspended and hollowed out, making it easy for other phoenixes to fly up.

By the time they arrived, there were already a lot of phoenixes gathered here, all of which had just flown up.

"Father, these two humans I met in the back mountain, they said that they came with an angel, and they were introduced by Chunbo to ask for help."

Nekolia let go of the little Nefiramui in her arms, and she shook her bare wings behind her back and ran all the way to the end of the palace, not only her uncles and uncles, but also her brothers and sisters...

It seems that the phoenix race is quite capable of giving birth, Fisher counted carefully, counting Nekolia and Nephilamuyi, the current phoenix race leader actually has a total of eight children.

On the other hand, after the Moon Princess, the Ice Prince, and the Frost Prince reached the mythical level, the only child was stillborn, and this difference cannot be said to be insignificant.

"Well, the angel has already told me about the specific things. Excuse me, Neklia, it seems that there are still two angelic companions outside who have not arrived here. ”

The current Phoenix King who spoke was a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair who looked very elegant, but unfortunately the traces of age inevitably left a lot of marks on his forehead.

"You're here, it's not bad, a little earlier than the two of them. How's that, has anything interesting happened? ”

At this moment, from the side of the Phoenix King, the short, curly-haired, profligate abominable angel Heliel was sitting alone on a wooden chair with her legs crossed, and the blue-gold wings on her back passed through the back of the chair so easily that it did not look like it really had a form.

Tang Ze Asuka immediately blushed when she heard this, and hugged her body very uncomfortably, as if it was so cold here.

"You deliberately spread us apart?"

But Fischer ignored her teasing, and just looked at her with an unkind face, and asked.

The previous politeness towards her mythical rank strength was also washed away by her extremely bad character, this angel species does have the magic power that can easily irritate people.

But obviously, she wouldn't be an angel who would care about such a thing.

She spread her hands innocently and quibbled,

"Why, even I can make mistakes. It's a huge burden for me to send so many people at once... However, I didn't know if I was blessed, and I also took advantage of this time to go around alone, which was a small vacation. ”

“... Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say. ”

Fisher quickly calmed down, and did not want to pay attention to her perfunctory response, and quickly resumed his previous politeness.

But such a simple politeness made Helier quite unhappy, and her happy expression crossed her legs a little, and the fingers holding her chin tapped her fair cheeks. Fisher guessed that if he had just been annoyed with her, she would not only not care, but would have been happier because it would have been interesting.

She doesn't seem to like a regular unfolding, because it would be boring.

Fisher vaguely seemed to have grasped a way to get hold of this nasty angel, but at this moment he did not continue, but continued to ask,

"Where did Hook Kiss and Mikhail go, why haven't they come here yet?"

“... Ahh But they shouldn't be too far from here, and they'll be there soon. ”

Helaire yawned with interest, then smiled and said to the gray-haired Phoenix Race Chief,

"But Your Excellency Heli Muto, they are out of the way, we can talk about going to the royal capital first."

"Well, you are Tsubaki's friends, of course my friends, my wife's father was killed by Wu and Tong Erhou, they belittled me and others in public, and privately sent people to rob and kill them with a very small stomach. If it weren't for Chunbo, who had returned from the offering, to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that our whole family would have died halfway. Now that Chun Bo is entrusted, how dare we refuse. ”

The wings behind him had changed from turquoise blue to pale, but they were also much larger, and Fisher wasn't sure if that had a direct connection with the age of the phoenixes.

It was only when the Phoenix King's wings fluttered slightly that Fisher faintly saw that behind his seat, there was a curtain barrier in the extreme depths of this hanging palace, and the little Nefiramui was sneaking behind the curtain barrier from her father's back, so it shook a little.

"Now the situation on the mainland is strange, first there is a blockade of the royal capital, the life and death of the king is unknown, and then the elven grand dukes are ready to move, and now the royal capital has issued such a strange law, it is really incomprehensible. To tell you the truth, we have a secret passage to the royal capital, which can go directly to the royal capital of, but how to enter the royal capital is..."

"It's okay, as long as you can get to the vicinity of the royal capital, you don't have to worry about the rest of you."

Helaire waved his hand, looking confident, but somehow, Fisher always felt that she probably hadn't thought of a way at all.

If she asks the reason, she will definitely laugh with a very annoying "hey",

"Don't you think it's more surprising and fun to act unprepared like this?"

Fisher sighed, thinking to himself what to do next, but it was better to wait for Hookkiss and Mikhail to come...

"Oh no, patriarch, something happened! Something happened! ”

In the next second, a panicked sound from outside the main hall suddenly came, interrupting Fisher's thoughts. Everyone in the hall hurriedly turned their heads to look, but saw a phoenix species in light armor hurriedly coming with a few cold winds, which made the phoenix patriarch quickly get up and asked with a frown,

"What's wrong, why are you so flustered?"

"There are many envoys from outside the clan who lead a lot of slaves, and it seems that they originally came to us, but for some reason, they fought with two strange people..."

"Strange people?"

Fisher stood up and hurriedly asked,

"Are there two men, one is a whale with a whale's tail, and the other is a human with a mechanical hand?"

"That's right! It's just the two of them! Those envoys of the royal capital are very close to the level of body and soul integration, patriarch, should we help? ”

Bad, it's really Hookkiss and Mikhail.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, it's good to fight... Where, hurry up and take me to see, I'll see if I fight hard. ”

Helaire held his stomach and laughed, Fisher glared at her, and then immediately said to the Phoenix guard who came to her,

"Those two are our buddies, please show me the way. Hellier, you are an angel, you must not show your face in front of the people of the royal capital, Tang Ze, you also stay here, it is very dangerous outside. ”

"Hmm... Well. ”

Not only Tang Ze Asuka, but even the guy from Hellel nodded obediently, which made the Phoenix Patriarch stunned for a moment, not knowing who was the one who was talking about it.

But he quickly came back to his senses, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the curtain barrier behind him, and after waiting for a second, the curtain barrier shook slightly, and then he turned back and said,

"In that case, Nekolia, you take your brothers to help. Even if the royal capital comes to envoy, they must not be allowed to run rampant in the clan... But remember, don't go overboard and save people more than anything else. ”

"Yes, father."

The cold-faced phoenix seed Nekolia walked out with a spear, and several of her brothers behind her also walked out with their own weapons.

Fisher glanced at it, Nekolia seemed to be the highest rank among them, there was no mythical rank in this group of phoenixes, except for the existence of Nekolia and the Phoenix Patriarch who were fourteenth-order, there was also the figure hiding behind the curtain barrier, which seemed to be extremely close to the mythical rank.

The rest of the phoenixes were only at the thirteenth rank at the highest, and most of them didn't even have a twelfth rank.

However, this is also normal, now is far from the peak of the phoenix species, but even the peak is only the existence of the four mythical ranks.

In this era, the demon species do not exist, they have not yet seen the ability of the future, and even the Ocean Emperor has not yet been born, there is nothing impossible.

"Lead the way, brother, you take this human with you, he's strong and can help."

Nekolia was the first to come to the edge of the main hall, and turned back to a strong male phoenix, her brother nodded angrily, came over and grabbed Fisher's shoulder, and after pinching it, his phoenix stretched out with an extremely cold wind, and the figure that enveloped him quickly disappeared in place, flying out into the distance.

As the phoenixes flew out of the main hall, the rest of the female rolls and unrelated people all whispered, and Tang Ze Asuka also glanced outside with some concern, because she had already heard a loud noise like thunder coming from outside.

"Boom!"

Mr. Fisher... It's strong, and with so many phoenixes around, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Listening to the sound outside that was louder than the explosion of a cannonball, Asuka Tang Ze felt a little bottomless in her heart, as long as she silently folded her hands and prayed for Fisher,

"Nan no Amitabha... Nam no Amitabha... Nam no Amitabha..."

"Well, let's go too... Hey, little Tang Ze, don't read it, don't read it. ”

At this moment, Tang Ze Asuka suddenly felt that someone had patted her shoulder, and when she opened her eyes and turned her head unconsciously, she saw Heriel stretching and floating from the chair, looking ready to go.

"Hey, hey? But... Didn't the angels of Hellier just promise Teacher Fisher to stay here? ”

Hellaire glanced at Asuka Tang Ze hatefully, then stretched out his finger and nodded her forehead, and said with a smile,

"Ah, a 'Mr. Fisher', do you listen to whatever he says? To tell you a little secret, Baiyi Baishun may be a point that men love, but the unexpected effect will be better... Ah, the delicate girl is very protective when she goes to the battlefield, go you! ”

"Oops?! It's not about giving... Ahhh ”

Without waiting for Tang Ze Asuka to agree, Helaire in front of her index finger lightly, and the void carried Tang Ze Asuka and put it on her shoulder, and then she slowly floated to the edge of the main hall, poking her head out to look outside.

After confirming the direction, Helaire looked back at the phoenixes who were stunned in place, and said with a smile,

"Don't worry about it, we'll be back soon."

Then, she didn't fly, but only took Asuka Karasawa to free fall down the silhouette of the huge tree, and rode away with Asuka's scream.

“......”

The Phoenix Patriarch didn't seem to react until he watched Helaire quickly disappear into the edge of the main hall, he anxiously glanced at the curtain barrier behind him, sweat broke out on his head, and he hurriedly whispered,

"Lady, she... She's an angel! It's someone from the Sanctuary! How could she be so careless! I went like this, in case I was discovered by the king's envoy... She is a mythical species of body and soul, whether there will be anything is another matter, but if we are found to be secretly hiding a visitor from the Holy Domain, it will be troublesome! ”

There was no movement from the curtain barrier, and there was no specific figure behind the curtain barrier, and the phoenix race chief lowered his head, and after a long time he couldn't wait for a response, he looked forward a distance in confusion.

"Lady?"

"Don't move, Daddy!"

In the next second, the curtain shook slightly, and a petite Lori holding a jade ruyi pointing at the patriarch walked out of it, who is it not his youngest daughter Nefilamui?

"Hey, my little ancestor, what are you doing with your mother's wishes?"

"My mother said, she is too lazy to listen to your mother-in-law's mother-in-law's muttering, since she wants to help, she will help to the end, and she doesn't look like she cares about her head and tail! If she misses her again, she'll sleep with me tonight... Well, also, my mother said, don't underestimate the angel, her brain is much better than yours, just let you sit and rest. ”

The Phoenix Patriarch opened his mouth, looked at Little Nefiramui and paused for a moment, and said in a low voice,

"That's all she said?"

"Hmm."

After being confirmed, the patriarch finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then hugged the little daughter who threatened him with a stinking face, patted her ass and wings like chicken wings, and scolded,

"You stinky girl, learn from your mother to threaten me, right? The hair hasn't grown! ”

"Ahhh Daddy beats me! When my hair grows up, I want to be like my mother and sister! I want to be the patriarch! I want to be a phoenix... Woooooo ”

Before she finished speaking, she was covered by the stinky "Phoenix Patriarch", and rubbed the baby fat face of this cute little daughter in her arms.

And the curtain barrier was slowly calmed down by the fluctuations set off by the little Nefiramui, and became as ancient as ever, as if there was nothing behind the curtain...

But if anyone could get close to the curtain that had been lifted by Nephilamuyi these two times, he would find that behind this curtain sat a figure with wings that seemed to cover the sky and the sun...

And the aura of that figure is terrifying, obviously it has crossed the standard of the mythical rank of "body and soul is one", but the curtain barrier seems to be light and thin, but it can silently isolate attention.

If it weren't for the fact that little Nefiramui had lifted a little curtain just now, Fisher would not have noticed that there was still a person sitting behind the "Phoenix Race Chief".
