70. Mother

"Woooooo

Fisher peeked at Asuka Karasawa who was sobbing with her face covered and her head down, and saw the tears seeping out of her fingers from the afterglow, he was slightly stunned, obviously Asuka Karasawa had so many tears beyond his imagination.

Fisher was a little confused, and looked up at Mihagul and Hookkiss, who were sitting behind Asuka Karazawa, who were resting, as if asking for help, Mihagul turned around and prepared to find a place to rest, and soon walked behind the screen; Hookkiss still sat in place, looking at Fisher vigilantly, making Fisher feel that his eyes were like guarding against thieves, a little inexplicable.

“... What's wrong, Donzawa? ”

After asking for help to no avail, Fisher only reluctantly stepped forward in person and took the initiative to ask.

"Hold... Woo, sorry.... I..."

But the response to Fisher was still a murky sob, Fisher looked down and found that she was taking the lead, but the pear blossom with the rain cried that she couldn't even speak, and whenever she wanted to speak, her throat would be replaced by a greater choke.

The pink of her eyes spread little by little, until she filled her delicate little face, and her long, moist eyelashes were covered with undried dew like morning leaves, condensing the watery eyes below.

Asuka Karasawa seemed a little embarrassed to be looked at and crying like this, she wiped her tears and lowered her head, and the pink on her face became a little more intense.

Fisher did not make any more moves, but pulled her to sit down in a chair next to her, and then stood quietly in place and waited for her to calm down slowly, so that the hall became quiet little by little in her crying, and after a few minutes, only her little fluctuating sobs and warm gasps remained in the hall.

Seeing that she had no good signs, the hook kiss eyes next to him flashed slightly, as if he saw the violently surging spirit in her body, and he gradually discovered a problem with Asuka Tang Ze, that is, once there is an obvious fluctuation in emotions, it will not be able to stop at all, and it will take a long, long time to ease up.

She had just been in the cage of the Sanctuary before, but at that time, she could explain it by the violent stimulation she received when she crossed over, but was she stimulated by anything just now?

Hook Kiss reached out with her hands without saying a word, restricting her cathartic emotions with a completely transparent thread that was completely invisible to anyone but himself, and it was only after he had done so that he bowed his mouth to Fisher, and whispered as he asked him to come over,

"I let little Tang Ze lose his spirit a little, but it always doesn't work... I didn't pay attention to her just now, what the hell happened to her, why did she cry so much, because of that rat woman just now? Is it because you pity them? It shouldn't be..."

“......”

Fisher was silent for a moment, looked at Asuka Karasawa who was still sobbing after sitting on the chair after the hook kiss to reduce her mental power, thought for a moment and shook her head,

"It's not because it's pitiful, it should be because of envy."

"Envy? Rat Woman? ”

Fisher kept looking at Asuka Karasawa who was covering her face, and suddenly thought of what Asuka Karasawa had said to herself in the Sanctuary cage that night,

"No, it's envy of the child in the arms of the rat woman. Tang Ze used to tell me that she lived with her mother when she was a child, and she didn't live with her father until after her mother died. But her mother didn't treat her well, most likely because she saw the behavior of the rat woman and reminded her of her mother's affairs, right? ”

Hook Kiss opened his mouth, and it took a long time to remember the conversation between Fisher and Asuka Karasawa that night, he didn't seem to expect Fisher to be able to find out the connection delicately, he squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at Fisher, and asked,

"How do you understand that?"

Fisher turned his head to look at Hook Kiss with a blank face, and replied,

"Because I have a good memory."

“......”

The therapeutic effect of the hook kiss was basically immediate, and Asuka Karazawa, who was covering her face and sobbing, quickly calmed down, and it was not until the hall was a little quiet that she wiped her eyes pitifully and raised her head.

Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she was a little embarrassed to look at the two quiet people in the distance who didn't disturb her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Hookkiss..."

Asuka Karasawa apologized again.

"It's fine."

Fisher replied simply, but hooked the kiss and asked more,

"Did you just think of something, little Tang Ze?"

"Hey... Well. But I just seemed to see something, I seemed to see that mother and child seemed to be dead, thrown from a tree... And then... And then..."

Asuka Karasawa covered her eyes with some pain, because not only the tragic death of the rat mother and son, but also the time when she lived with her mother.

Asuka Karasawa remembers that she was in her house in Tokyo, and her mother left her in the big house, and she went to all kinds of parties, drank alcohol, and forgot about herself when she came home from school. She had nothing to eat, so she waited at home for her mother to come back, but it was not until it was very late, and she could not remember how late, did her mother come back with another uncle she did not know.

She casually gave herself a few hundred yen, let herself go to the convenience store to buy something to eat, and then took the money to buy a bread at the convenience store, and ate it for a long, long time before going back, because if she went back early, she would see the picture of her mother with her uncle she didn't know.

Asuka Karasawa remembers that she was sometimes abused by her mother, saying that she was just like her father, saying that she was stupid, that her father gave very little child support, and that she couldn't even afford a decent piece of jewelry, so she took out many of her grievances in life to herself...

Asuka Karasawa felt that her mother hated herself, and sadly, she felt guilty because of it, so she learned to apologize and apologize to her mother for this guilt.

"Little Tang Ze, you said you saw the pair of rat mothers and sons falling?"

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

Facing the question of the hook kiss, she was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses, so she quickly raised her head and rubbed her eyes, nodded and said,

"Well, I don't know how I saw it, but it's real... It was like it was actually happening right in front of my eyes. ”

Hook Kiss opened his mouth, touched his chin, and muttered,

"Maybe Tao Gong's method is really effective, the person who transferred is really special, you are so sensitive to fate, maybe you can really see the person who transferred by the Elf King's side... But why can't Mihayor see a single hair, and is there a gap between the people who are transferred? ”

"Hmm... Well. ”

Fisher looked at Tang Ze Asuka pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, but did not say anything superfluous, but looked at the back of the screen and said to Tang Ze,

"Go to the back and rest, Bai Hou will be back later, just take care of her by Hook Kiss." Have a good rest, and tomorrow we will enter the Jianmu Palace. ”

"Good..."

Asuka Karasawa rubbed her eyes, stood up tiredly and prepared to walk behind the screen, when she walked past Fisher, she looked at Fisher and Hookkiss who were still sitting in the same place, and always felt as if they were dragging them down again, and they didn't help much.

"Mr. Fisher, hug..."

She pursed her lips, and subconsciously wanted to say familiar words to Fisher, but Fisher didn't look at her, but suddenly stretched out his right hand and pressed it on her head, and pressed her momentum and words back at once.

"Uhhhhhh

"Look ahead, Tang Ze...... Go and rest. ”

In a place where Fisher couldn't see, Asuka Karasawa squinted her eyes comfortably like a kitten, and when Fisher's hand was withdrawn, her head poked in the direction he left as if attracted by a magnet, as if it was touched very comfortably, and it wasn't until a second later that she suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly agreed,

"Hmm... Well! ”

Then she quickly ran away.

"Tut-tut!"

Tang Ze Asuka over there had just left, and the hook kiss mouth watching the play next to him immediately "tsk" as if he was loaded with a machine gun, and his eyes were about to give Fisher a knife.

"It's warm, and I touch my head... Cleanse yourself, Fisher..."

Fisher glared at him, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke,

"Didn't you miss Bai Hou very much just now? Aren't you restless just waiting for someone to come back? ”

Hook Kiss was slightly stunned, and subconsciously retorted,

"Who the... Woooooooooooooooo ”

But before the words were finished, a tall figure had spread behind him at some point, and when a fragrant wind spread out from the tip of the hooked kiss's nose, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly prepared to look back, but the next moment his whole head was locked by a warm embrace,

"Ahh Were you secretly thinking about someone just now? Really, I've only been away for a while... Sure enough, you're actually tired of your chaff wife, aren't you? How about we cheat quietly, don't worry, she won't find out~"

Behind him, Bai Hou, who suddenly appeared, said so happily from the upper body that hugged the hook kiss with a sunny face.

Hearing the words of "the wife who is tired of chaff", Hook Kiss shivered all over his body, his face turned pale, his whole body trembled and he hurriedly struggled, but in front of the eighteenth-rank Bai Hou, even if it was just a shadow of fate, there was no power to resist,

"No way, I'm sorry for me... My wife is single-minded... Baihou, you are self-respecting.... You let go of me... Fisher! I don't care about you.... Ahhhh

Fisher silently retreated behind the screen, leaving the biggest trouble here to Hookkiss, planning to find a room to rest as well, and he still needed to make some preparations for tomorrow's trip to Jianmu Palace.

......

......

Fisher, led by the sub-race who served in the guest wood, was ready to go to the room to rest for a while, but the further he walked inside, Fisher could often feel the presence of various mythical spirits, and he felt that it was too late.

He was a little puzzled by this, because from the outside, these palaces on the guest wood should be very far apart.

"Here, please."

Fisher looked at the murals in the corridor next to him as he walked, yes, the elves were also very fond of carving all kinds of beautiful murals next to the building, just like the murals on the Phoenix Bridge seen in the north before. In this way, the culture of the Tree Continent is really in the same line, and the Phoenix Species has unexpectedly brought the culture of the Tree Continent to a foreign land.

The story engraved on the mural in front of me goes like this:

In this world, there is a huge tree that stands between heaven and earth, and legend has it that she has all the wisdom of the world, and is the most admirable mother in heaven and earth, with unparalleled power. One day, she had many children, but only three of them were the strongest and brightest, and they were very polite and respectful to each other, and they were very much liked by the giant tree.

So one day, the giant tree called the three children to him in turn and said the same thing to them.

The giant tree said, "My child, I want to give you the same precious gift as my creator, but I do not have the great ability of theirs, so I can only let you choose one gift." Tell me what you want, and I will give it to you, and then take this gift with you to help each other with your brothers and sisters. ”

The eldest of the three children said, "I want to know everything that happened in the past so that I can keep repeating the past to learn from it, and I will be unbeatable." ”

The giant tree said, "Good." ”

Then, the eldest child left the giant tree with a clear past.

The youngest of the three children said to the tree, "I want to know the future, the outcome of the future, so that I don't have to worry about the doubt." ”

The giant tree said, "Good." ”

So, the youngest child left the giant tree with a predetermined future for everything.

The last child, who was neither big nor small, thought for a long time, and then said to the tree, "I don't want to know the past or the future, because the undecided possibilities are the most important. I want to explore why things come into being, and to embrace the possibilities of the past and the future like untying a knot. ”

The giant tree was also silent for a long time, and finally she said, "I have nothing to give you, but all the rest of the children are entrusted to you." ”

The last child didn't get anything, but he left the giant tree contentedly.

It's such a short story, which, in Fisher's view, is most likely filled with strong artistic processing, which may or may not represent what really happened.

But it was such a fable, and Fisher remembered what the Moon Princess had mentioned as if he had touched the scene.

She said that the future was not a concrete picture in her eyes, but a feeling, and she said that she saw a huge knot of death and had to plan ahead; And Valentina, who is also a phoenix, sees a clear, established picture.

It's hard to say whether it's a predetermined ending that won't change no matter how much effort is made, or whether it's a good sight for the Moon Princess, but through the fresco in front of him, Fisher is vaguely aware of a fact.

That is, for the elves, the [undetermined] in fate is superior to the [established].

Fisher thought as he followed the attendant in front of him in the direction of the room, which was not a long process, but as he walked, he suddenly bumped into a familiar figure in the corridor facing him.

The person in front of him has long black hair, a pair of long ears with a lot of jingling earrings and jewelry, his face is handsome, and there is often a kind smile on his face, which will make people feel like a spring breeze at a glance.

"Hello, please help me pass these things over to the rat woman in charge here."

Father?

The elf that suddenly appeared here in front of them was none other than Fisher, the elf count they had met when they had just come to the Tree Continent.

Of course, in the shadow of fate here, he didn't know Fisher, he was talking to the leader beside him.

"Ah, Tsubak-sama, it's really a trespass. Xiao said that he would come to your guest hall tonight to pick it up, why did you come in person? ”

Tsubaki handed some food and clothing to the leading servant in front of him, and seeing that he was so humble and restrained, he couldn't help but say,

"It's okay, it's because I was supposed to leave tonight and have to pack my luggage, so I asked you to come and get something for the rat woman. Now I don't need to, tomorrow I have to enter the Jianmu Palace to meet the king, so... By the way, who is this? ”

"Ah, this is a guest invited by Lord Baihou, so I will rest here for a while. Don't worry, Uncle Tsubaki, I'll definitely give these things to Ah Nu. ”

The leader next to him secretly glanced at Fisher beside him after receiving the things, and didn't say much, but Fisher, who had just met the rat woman's mother and son, quickly knew the ins and outs, and he knew that the leader in front of him told other officials about the rat woman secretly hiding the child on the guest wood.

Fisher didn't say a word, and Tsubaki glanced at him as if warning, but even if he did, he didn't fully release the oppression of his mythical rank, so he seemed to have room for it.

Then, he arched his hand to the leader beside Fisher and said,

"I'm in trouble."

"I can't do it! I can't help it! ”

The leader was so frightened that he almost didn't kneel, but fortunately, before he could make a move, Tsubaki had already brushed his sleeves and left.

By the time the leader straightened up with the bread and clothing, the gentle Tsubaki had already gone far away, and the leader opened his mouth and sighed quietly,

"Tsubaki, what a pity..."

"What's wrong with Tsubaki?"

Fisher and the leader walked forward, and he heard the exclamation of the man next to him, so he asked.

The leader next to him glanced at Fisher quite vigilantly when he heard this, but he thought that Tsubaki was an elf after all, as long as it wasn't related to the rat woman, it wouldn't matter.

I only heard him sigh for a moment, but still said,

"Uncle Tsubaki is a good lord, he is very good to those of us who serve, and the subordinates who are arranged to serve him are very lucky. It's just that when I went to the other elves' palaces before, I seemed to overhear them say that because Chunbo didn't hand over the slaves, the king was very unhappy, and tomorrow I am afraid that it will be because of this incident that I will let Chunbo enter the palace alone... My lord, here we are, and your companions are resting here in turn. You can always call us if you have something. ”

Halfway through his words, Fisher arrived at the door of the room where he was resting.

The other party did not continue the conversation, and Fisher also stayed in front of the door of the room for a long time before thanking him, and entered the room alone to rest, waiting for the critical moment tomorrow.
