67. Baihou
Fisher was stuck in time to return to their rented room, and when he returned, Nekolia made sure that no one outside had followed him, which also meant that Mihayel's first step in finding out the elven traitor's plan had been completed, and the next plan to be implemented was to let Hook Kiss replace him, and then take Fisher and Mikhail into the Jianmu Palace.
Because of the previous conversation with Tsubaki, Fisher suddenly remembered that the identity of the person who was transferred in his group would be discovered by the elves, and he felt that he could plan by the way, and let Hookkiss provide the elf king with his group of three by the way.
Since the Elf King must have his purpose in keeping the transferred person who stole the World Tree's teardrops by his side, then the probability that he left his three transferred people will be much greater, and at that time, Fisher, who was left by the Elf King, will also be able to meet the transferred person in the Jianmu Palace and find out the truth about the theft of the World Tree's teardrops.
The general idea is this, and since this is in the enchantment of Momoko and not the real world, their plan does not even need to be considered, because as long as the truth and the identity of the traitor are ascertained, Momoko's enchantment will most likely be lifted by itself.
Well, all that's left to do is wait until three days later.
Fisher and Hookkiss discussed with them, and Heriel, who was paddling and fishing, followed Fisher back into the room, and looked bitter,
"Helaire, you're back... What happened to you? ”
Tang Ze Asuka said hello to her, but seeing the expression on her face, she couldn't help but ask, but she didn't expect Heraire to directly stretch out his hand and rub the other party's face, and complained,
"I wanted to have a good time here, but I forgot that there is only a phantom of fate here, and there is no taste for anything to eat..."
"And you're back so late?"
Fisher complained mercilessly, provoking Helaire to hide in Asuka Karasawa, as if using her as a shield,
"Didn't you just come back too?"
“......”
Fisher watched her hide behind Asuka Karasawa and only showed half of her face to look at her appearance, and felt more and more that this guy's movements and behaviors were more feminine, so he ignored her, but looked at Mihayer.
He was still methodically identifying the elves on the tree who would visit the royal capital this time, and Fisher hesitated for a moment, but still told him about the tsuki he had met this afternoon who had come down from the tree and was sneaking around, but said that he had not divulged anything about his plans for the future.
Of course, Fisher deliberately ignored that he had discovered her by following the familiar fragrance of her body, and only said that he thought she was suspicious.
】
Hook kiss touched his chin and said in surprise,
"Is there really such a bold elf, there shouldn't be many eighteenth-order marquises, but it's a pity that I only know a few of the more than 100 elves in the Tree Continent... Lord Herel, have you heard of this elf named 'Tsuki'? ”
Hellier shook his head decisively and said nothing.
And even Neklia, a native of the Tree Continent, doesn't know very well, according to what she said, she doesn't know much about those elven realms in the east of the Tree Continent, maybe her grandfather who is the secretary of the emperor will know.
Since there is no information about Tsubaki, Mikhail has only indicated that he will use robots to keep an eye on the list of elves who have been offered.
......
......
Time flew by quickly, and on the third day, everyone in the room came to the outside of the city, except for Mihayir, who was in charge of monitoring the elves, the rest of them were ambushed in advance according to the time given by Hook Kiss.
The more than 30 elves who came, Mikhayr, were busy for two days to determine the almost twenty, first of all, the elves were very low-key in the residence of the royal capital, and basically did not hang signs to show their identity as they did outside, Mikhail relied on the other party's retinue and the words of officials to determine their true identity.
The second is that Mikhail can't use that nanobot all the time, and his spirit will begin to be unstable after a while, so in order to prevent him from getting sick and causing trouble again, Hook Kiss strictly limits the time frame for him to use nanobots, so the efficiency of determining his identity has not been high.
But Mikhail is sure they'll get all of their elven identities after they replace Hookkiss in the enchantment today.
So, it was early in the morning, and the group came to the outside of the city in this way, and squatted to guard the hook kiss that entered the royal capital alone.
At this time, the World Tree Teardrops had not yet been stolen, so the defense of the capital was far less strict than in reality, and Fisher and his party were not questioned much when they left the city.
They cover their faces to avoid seeing two identical people directly, and pretend to be idle members of the robbers in the wilderness, which is easier to do.
"That's how you came to the royal city? By walking? ”
The royal capital was located on the northernmost coast of the Tree Continent, and at this moment, the position they were crouching on was some distance east of the capital.
Hearing Fisher's question, he looked at Fisher with a masked face and a black hook kiss and explained,
"I came back from my house, and I went ashore by the king's capital. Just a little distance, I changed my clothes and walked straight over... Don't hesitate later, you have to beat me quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, my wife can't react every time she moves, lest I manipulate your five organs and make you uncomfortable for a while. ”
“......”
Fisher listened to Hook Kiss teach others how to hit him, and he was speechless for a while, and he didn't answer, only took out the fluid sword and the magic engraved by Tang Ze Asuka, ready to do it directly when he saw someone.
It wasn't until he had a personal disciple that Fisher felt how convenient it was to ask Tang Ze Asuka to help him engrave spare magic at any time in the name of "practicing magic", so that he didn't have to do it himself, and Tang Ze Asuka was still very excited about engraving magic, as if he wouldn't get tired no matter how he engraved it.
Well, is it possible that Mr. Haytham thought the same way when he let himself practice magic?
In the team, Fisher, Hookkiss and Nekolia were responsible for the main attack, and Helaire and Asuka Karasawa with a few wind spells were responsible for breaking off the rear to avoid Hookkiss from escaping
"It's coming!"
They didn't have to wait long, and soon in a jungle outside the royal capital, near the ocean, Fisher and the others saw a figure slowly approaching the royal capital, the figure was also wearing a garment made of some kind of seaweed product, but it was different from the style Fisher wore when they first met, and in his left hand he was carrying a small box made of some kind of shell, which was the whale man who had been invited by the marquis to come to the royal capital to see the elven king.
It's just that at this moment, the hook kiss face, which has always had a gentle smile, is surprisingly cold, and his long slender blue hair is not completely dry, and it looks like he has just landed in the sea.
Asuka Karasawa and Helaire were on the other side, Fisher glanced at the walking past hook kiss, and asked the main lord beside him,
"Why was your face so ugly at the time, and you went back to quarrel with your wife?"
Hook Kiss smiled bitterly and explained perfunctorily,
"Not really, it's just that something happened in the family... Alright, let's get ready to do it. I'll disturb my own qi first, and then you and Nekolia will just go straight to it. ”
"Okay."
Without saying a word, Nekolia flapped her wings and raised her spear without mercy.
Not far away, the hook kiss with a cold face and a medicine box on the road walked as he walked, and suddenly felt that the temperature around him had dropped several degrees, and then he suddenly felt that his legs began to weaken.
Just as the hook-eyed boy shrank and began to realize that something was wrong, he quickly reached out with his right hand, and a small knife made of flowing gold liquid immediately appeared in his hand, but the attacker was obviously faster than he did, or knew him very well.
Before he could see the person, Hook Kiss found that the meridians of his right hand seemed to have been invisibly hit by something, and then, three black shadows suddenly burst out of the bushes next to him, one of them had huge wings, and the other also held an extremely flexible blade in his hand, and seemed to hold a leaf that emitted strange fluctuations in his hand; The last man was empty-handed, but Hook Kiss quickly realized that his meridians had been hit by the guy in front of him.
Just when the other party was about to make a move, the surrounded hook kiss quickly reacted, he probably glanced at the other party's rank, a person is only thirteenth rank, but the "god" part of the three treasures is very strange; The other fourteenth rank is a phoenix at first glance, and it is also the one that has experienced a hundred battles; The last one, like himself, isn't very good at fighting, and is the rubbish one...
Hook Kiss swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quickly made a decision, and then, under the astonished gaze of Fisher and Neklia, he decisively withdrew the golden blade into his arms, and then threw the medicine box in his hand on the ground, and then decisively bent his knees and fell to the ground, and his handsome face immediately wept and mourned, and was full of pain,
"What a man! Spare my life!
Take whatever you want! I'm just a doctor with a hard life, old and young, and I have a wife with a huge appetite to support at home. With so many mouths in the family, it's not easy to come out and eat, spare my life! ”
The blades raised in the hands of Fisher and Nekolia suddenly stopped in front of the whale race crying and begging for mercy in front of them, only to see the huge whale tail behind the hook kiss slap the ground like a salted fish, and then he decisively raised his hands and surrendered from the heart.
“......”
The imaginary battle did not happen, and even, it seemed that it ended too easily, looking at the hook kiss of the past that was crying so sincerely and real in front of them, the masked Fisher and Nekolia couldn't help but glance back at the main lord behind them.
I saw him covering his face, as if he was a little embarrassed, and after a few seconds, Fisher saw that Hook Kiss really had nothing to say, so he took the initiative to say to Hook Kiss,
"Don't play tricks."
"Why do I have to play tricks..."The expression on the hook kiss face in front of him was even more indignant, as if what Fisher said wronged him, only to listen to him continue, "Anyway, I can't make anything this trip, what kind of life can I play with this money!" ”
No, weren't you invited by the Marquis to come to the royal capital to see the elf king?
Logically speaking, shouldn't you be given a lot of treasure or something?
Fisher looked back at the main owner, but saw that he covered his face and lowered his head, but he did not deny what he said in the past, it seems that Baihou really did not give him any valuable reward afterwards.
“... Tie him up. ”
Seeing that things were going so well, Fisher planned to tie up the hook kisses in the barrier and throw them into the sea as originally planned.
Before Hook Kiss, he said that as long as he was thrown into the sea, he would definitely go.
Nekolia rounded up the hook with an iron rope with a blank face, and then pretended to snatch everything that seemed to be valuable from him, but Fisher didn't notice his little golden dagger and threw him down.
Watching the tightly tied hook kiss in the ocean sink little by little, even if everything here is just a phantom, Nekolia couldn't help but ask more,
"It should be okay to drop you down like this, right?"
“... I'm a whale man, I'm happier in the water than on the shore, what can I do? ”
The hook kiss in the back took off the black mask covering his face, gasped twice, and then looked at the ocean and said,
"I've been on the shore with you for so long, and my wife hasn't seen me for a long time, so I'll be back in the ocean when I'm done."
Fisher was noncommittal, for once he had banished his death, he would return to his own time to reunite with Renee and the other ladies.
Tang Ze Asuka and Heriel, who came from the ambush in the distance, both covered their mouths with a smile and looked at the hook kiss, obviously, the hook kiss in the past just now was so simple to admit that the two of them saw it.
The two of them smiled without saying anything, and their faces turned black when they saw Hook Kiss, and they both muttered words like "I'm just a doctor", "I'm not good at fighting", "I still have a wife waiting for me at home, and I want to go back to reunite with my life".
However, the teasing didn't last long, and they laughed enough when they looked at Tang Ze Asuka, so Hook Kiss took off the black clothes that were used as a cover, put on clothes made of his own water plants, and picked up the looted medicine box.
He glanced at Wang Du, as if he had seen some tricky trouble again, and sighed and said,
"Let's start with it, this matter is very troublesome, and I don't want to revisit it. But since it's here to help, it's my duty to do it. Just remember to listen to my command, that guy is not normal, we better hurry up now, we may be late now..."
"Not quite normal?"
Tang Ze Asuka had some doubts, and Fisher also had some curiosity about the elf who invited Hookkiss to come to the Tree Continent, but just when everyone wanted to learn more information from Hookkiss, they suddenly felt the ground start to shake slightly.
Earthquake?
It doesn't seem right, and it's not as violent as an earthquake...
"Little kiss!
Where are you?! You're late!
Nothing will happen, right?! I'm coming for you!
”
At the same time, accompanied by an extremely obvious tremor of the ground, a high-pitched female voice suddenly came from the sky, resounding through the wilderness outside the city gate, but it was still quiet in the royal capital, as if no sound had come in at all.
Hearing this, Hook Kiss's face turned pale, and his whole body froze, and then he hurriedly said to Nekolia and Heliel, who could not be carried together,
"Jump into the sea and hide! Baihou is coming for me! ”
Before Nekolia could react, Helel gave his thumbs up, and then pulled the stunned Nekolia next to him and jumped into the sea, and soon disappeared.
And Fisher and Asuka Karazawa, who were standing in place, quickly became uneasy with the shaking ground.
They turned their heads to look, but saw that there was a faint splash of smoke and dust in the direction of the royal capital, and Tang Ze Asuka couldn't see clearly, but with Fisher's eyesight, he could faintly see that there seemed to be a figure running in the center of the smoke.
"Boom!"
As the figure farther away from the royal capital, the louder the sound of the running became, and it sounded like thunder from a distance, making Tang Ze Asuka's eardrums ache.
And Hook Kiss's face became whiter and whiter, and his hands were tightly gripping his clothes.
Soon, the figures running through the smoke and dust became clearer and clearer.
It turned out that it was a beautiful black-haired woman wearing a high-waisted red skirt, the woman wore a very elegant hanging sideburns, and a pair of long ears were full of earrings inlaid with crystals, which looked so gorgeous and elegant, but if you ignore her wild running style...
She has a broad mind, and she is not a mediocre person at first glance, and a pair of pink embroidered shoes does not restrain her temperament in the slightest, but makes her ability magnified a lot by the contrast.
Her eighteenth-rank aura swept the earth unrestrainedly, and then she soon spotted Hookkiss and Fisher, Asuka Karasawa and Mihayel standing in the distance.
"Little kiss, why don't you go into the city? What are you doing there?! ”
Seeing the hook kiss, the expression on Bai Hou's face instantly brightened, her steps slowed down a little bit, from wild to elegant, and by the way, she could also comb her sideburns and scattered black hair, and even the tremor on the ground slowed down until it disappeared a little...
Fisher and Tang Ze Asuka were both slightly stunned, and looked back at the hook kiss, but saw that the smile on his face was completely unbearable, and they were about to turn into a bitter melon.
Then, Hook Kiss raised the corners of his mouth and explained to Fisher,
"Bai Hou is very difficult, she is sick."
“......”
Fisher and the others did not respond, but honestly hid all the masked items on their faces, and watched the elegant elf Baihou walk into the woods without saying a word.
Hook Kiss coughed, his expression turned positive, put down the medicine box he was carrying, and was about to salute as standard.
"Baihou, it's really presumptuous, you came out to greet you in your busy schedule, the hook kiss is really..."
But before the words were finished, Bai Hou easily grabbed the palm of the hook kiss, didn't look at the few people next to him, and only rubbed his hands into his palms with a fiery gaze.
Hook Kiss trembled slightly, his expression was unnatural, and he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand, but no matter how hard he pulled his hand, it didn't help.
"Ahh Isn't this worrying about you, how dangerous it is outside the royal city, what if you meet some thief, hurt your delicate doctor's holy hand, and miss the king's illness? ”
As he spoke, Bai Hou rubbed all the parts of his hooked and kissed palm harder, but he refused to let go.
At the same time, Bai Hou seemed to feel something, she lowered her head with a ruddy face and said to the hooked hand,
"Why is Xiao Kiss's hand so dry, is it possible..."
I forgot that Hook Kiss hadn't been back in the water for a long time.
Just when Asuka Karasawa was nervous, Hook Kiss explained with a forced smile,
"Lord Baihou, I've been feeling unwell recently, and that's why..."
"Just call me Bai..." Before the hook kiss could finish speaking, Bai Hou interrupted him, and then she squinted her eyes and swept the whole body of the hook kiss, and then sighed and said,
"Ah, your wife really won't pity Xiangyu, she will bully you tightly in the sun... Unlike me, you can relax with me. Come with me into the city, I've prepared food in the city... Hey, who are these guys? ”
Bai Hou rubbed the loveless face of Hook Kiss dotingly, and just as she was about to pull Hook Kiss and turn around to leave, she seemed to see Fisher and his party next to her in hindsight.
Then, Bai Hou's ruddy face faded a little, and a little surprise flashed in her eyes, and before Hook Kiss could explain, she had already spoken,
"Oh, the people who transferred, or three... It's funny. ”
She smiled, but she was completely different from the shyness of the woman in front of the hook kiss, but she looked so wild.
