12. Residual heat
The two people in the cave hugged each other for a long time, and the temperature around them also rose a little bit, but it did not become a restless scorching heat, but only made people feel warm.
Perhaps it was only at this moment that Emhardt realized that the lady of the dragon race, whom he had never met, was also very important to Fisher.
After a long time, the two people who hugged each other separated a little distance, turning the wordless tight hug between lovers into a spacious distance enough for dialogue.
Rafael had to leisurely look at Fisher's strange outfit in front of her at this moment, and her tail, which was wrapped around Fisher's waist, couldn't help but lift a little, poking and poking at the holes in Fisher's clothes, and asked in passing,
"How do you... Wearing such clothes? It also looks too weird. ”
Although the words sounded a little disgusted, at the same time, she still stretched out her hands and carefully sorted out the ragged white robe that was already unreasonable and full of wrinkles.
Her soft movements looked a far cry from the irascible appearance she had used to be, and looking at her face close at hand, Fisher inevitably reached out and took her hand that had rested on her clothes, brushing slowly over her warm and slippery scales, bringing a little itch,
"It wasn't like this before, but it looked good then."
She pursed her lips, her eyes a little evasive, but the tail behind her wagged in joy, stunned the heavenly Emhart.
Rafael coughed lightly, but still put his gaze back on Fisher's body,
"Look... I can see it..."
Rafael glanced at Fisher's face and continued,
"I thought you, like me, couldn't get along in Nari, so you were chased around by humans. Otherwise, why are you thinking about coming now... Find me..."
"It's pretty much the same, I'm a fugitive pursued by Nari now, and a lot of things have happened before, so I haven't had a chance to return to the Southern Continent. Sorry, Rafael. ”
Originally, it was just a sentence of complaining or self-mocking, but Rafael didn't expect it to be in one sentence.
She was slightly stunned, and a possibility couldn't help but pop up in her heart, and at the same time, her words became a little guilty,
"It's... Because of me? ”
Yes, in Rafael's opinion, she thought it was because of what she had done in the Southern Continent, and because Fisher had met many humans who knew him on the way through the Southern Continent.
After returning to the Western Continent, they may have brought back information about their relationship with Fisher, which is why Nari punished him, eventually causing him to be expelled from his own society.
Fisher was slightly stunned, and just shook his head to explain something, Emhardt, who was floating in the sky next to him, flew down again, landed on Fisher's shoulder, and said excitedly to Rafael,
"Why? No, no, no, certainly not because of you, it's about Elizabeth, the queen of Nari now. She used stratagem to usurp the throne from her brother, and Fisher witnessed the whole process, so he was discredited and became a fugitive. ”
Unexpectedly, Fisher had grown up with Emhardt.
In the process of explaining himself, he even ignores his past relationship with Elizabeth.
He really, I cried to death.
Rafael looked at the book and couldn't help but be surprised, she had seen many relics, but it was the first time she could speak consciously, she glanced at Fisher, and asked,
"Who is this?"
"He's the book Sir Emhart, my best friend."
Emhardt nodded respectfully, and politely stood on Fisher's shoulder and replied,
"Hello, Queen Rafael, it's a pleasure to meet you, and so is Fisher."
"I'm glad to meet you, too, Emhat."
When the atmosphere was warm and explosive from the beginning of the reunion, the strangeness that had not been seen for a long time was also melted away by this warm atmosphere, and the things and words that had happened over the years poured out in their hearts at this moment.
Past experiences are a vast box of conversation, with lots of stories and mixed stories, but often only people who really care about you will be keen to listen.
Because, it is precisely because they missed that time by your side that they want to make up for this regret by listening.
Fisher told some of the stories of his departure from the Southern Continent, but mainly about his being wanted by Elizabeth of Nari. As for the North, the Storm Sea, and even the Sanctuary, it was too far away for Rafael, and Fisher basically didn't dabble in it.
What's more, even Nari's matter, Fisher only said the matter, not the people involved, otherwise he didn't know how long he would talk about it, and he didn't know if he could finish it.
They sat together in the shady part of the cave, where they could rest for a while, so close that when you looked from behind, you would see that Rafael's tail had at some point formed a semicircle behind him, framing Fisher in it, and slapping the ground from time to time to shrink the area of the semicircle.
Even if the details were so appropriate, Rafael, who had listened quietly, looked at Fisher in front of her, and after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask suspiciously,
"When we were at war with Nari earlier, we also inquired about Nari's information, and I... At that time, I secretly wanted to know your information. But strangely, everything about you in Nariri seems to have evaporated. I don't have access to any information about you, and often the spies in charge of these leads are inexplicably cut off..."
Emhart was not surprised at all, he pouted and said subconsciously,
"No, like Elizabeth would do. I'm sure that after Fisher left, all his belongings went to the Golden Palace... Oh, that... I mean, after all, he was a prisoner of high status, and he used to be with Elizabeth... Well, the Golden Palace has a close relationship, so..."
Both Fisher and Rafael looked at Emhart in front of them in a daze, until he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately tried to make amends, but the depiction became darker and darker, leaving Fisher speechless.
"Smack..."
Behind him, the warm and flexible tail had touched Fisher's thigh, and the semicircle that was constantly encircling was finally small enough for Fisher and Rafael to completely fill it.
On the side, Rafael also glanced at Fisher, and couldn't help but ask Emhardt,
"Did Nari's Empress, before Elizabeth, think highly of Fisher?"
"Uh... That one... This one... I guess, I mean... On a business level. ”
Emhardt gave Fisher an apologetic look, indicating that he had stopped talking, and then he decided to pretend to be air, as if he didn't know anything.
Fortunately, Fisher was mentally prepared before returning from the past to the present.
Since you have to pay off the debts you owe because of greed, these problems must be faced, even if the consequences are serious.
But as the saying goes, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the contradictions must be resolved little by little, and he must do the same.
Fisher didn't deny it, just smiled a little helplessly. He put his hands on his knees and lowered a little distance to explain,
"Elizabeth used to be my college classmate and my first love, but then we separated for some reason. And when I returned to St. Nari from the Southern Continent, she threw an olive branch to me. ”
"Oh, classmate, first love?"
Rafael chewed on the two rather ambiguous words, seemingly without waves, but the tail behind him raised a little unhappily and looked around, looking like a poisonous snake that was spitting out a letter.
She probably should have guessed that the relationship between Fisher and Elizabeth was not simple, otherwise Elizabeth would not have been so mad as to block all information about him, so that for a time it was a sin to discuss Elizabeth's accession to the throne in Nari, including Fisher, of course.
She had read the story of Fisher and Elizabeth in Nari's newspaper earlier, and she was angry at the time, but she suspected that the story was just a piece of nari news, otherwise why he was later wanted by Elizabeth.
Fortunately, by now, he has said it all.
Fisher is a very special and excellent human being, until so many years have passed, this impression in Rafael's heart has not changed, but has become more and more profound.
Long before she and Elizabeth, she had heard of a name named "Renee", which is not difficult to explain that the empress, who is now like the sun, also had an old relationship with him...
Rafael would even wonder uneasily if there would be a lady with whom Fisher would have a relationship with him wherever he went?!
The more he thought about it, the more depressed Rafael became, and his breathing stagnated slightly.
But then I thought about it, and even in the end, Fisher did not agree to Elizabeth's retention, but left Nari, and even though he had been on the run for so long, he still came back to find himself...
In the end, I won by myself.
At this moment, the swaggering tail beside Fisher softened little by little, as if corroded by the sweet feeling, and lay on the ground weakly, turning from a poisonous snake into a docile cat.
It's just that Rafael's expression, which had just turned up a little smile, slowly regained its composure.
She coughed lightly and glanced at Fisher, as if there were no fluctuations, and those thoughts had never appeared before, and said lightly,
"It's okay, it's all over anyway, you... It's good to be back, Fisher. ”
Well, Miss Rafael, I don't know whether to say it or not, it's just... It doesn't seem to be completely over yet.
Emhart blinked, thinking so, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.
"What about you, Rafael. I've heard the name 'New Dragon Court' since I entered the Southern Continent, and I thought it was your masterpiece, but later I found out that it wasn't the case. ”
Fisher did not continue his conversation, but instead asked about Rafael.
As soon as she heard the corresponding concept, Rafael's expression sank slightly, she snorted coldly and said,
"Isere, the traitor who betrayed the Southern Continent. He sold everything in the Southern Continent, the soul, history, and future of his compatriots to Nari. On the surface, he was calling for peace and hoping to stop the struggle, which made many Asians who only wanted to be partial to peace put down their weapons and were willing to become vassals of the puppet court. On the surface, they are free from the risk of being 'slaved' and trafficked, but in reality, we are still animals in the eyes of humans. ”
The steam from Rafael's body erupted little by little, but finally it dispersed little by little.
She looked at her open palm, and finally said in disappointment,
"I don't blame many of the residents of the Southern Continent who have thrown themselves on their side, the most important reason is that we lost the war against Nari. It was as if they had changed a kingdom all of a sudden. The power that had been loose had become concentrated, and the already tricky magic and muskets were now adding a kind of machinery they had developed.
"That kind of machine can do a lot of things, reconnaissance, attack, transportation... And even if we are lucky enough to find the wreckage, we can't study it at all, and the sophistication of the technology is basically inimitable. They have long and gone, and our army has lost a lot of strength as a result. But even so, we persevered, and we were on the verge of winning... However, at the most critical time, the general named 'Barbatos' was."
Rafael was a little unwilling, and her outstretched paws clenched little by little, as if she were about to crush something.
"Barbatos? You're saying that the general of that group of humans is Barbatos?! ”
Emhardt floated in disbelief, his voice trembling, and he said,
"That's a demon seed demon god of the eighteenth rank of the main body, it would be strange if you could win the battle! With such a guy to help them, why hasn't Nari bulldozed the Southern Continent yet? But aren't they supposed to be locked in the abyss of demons, whatever! It must be because of Bymun! It's all Bymun's fault! I know! ”
"Demons?"
Rafael had also heard the name from the Bat Chief, and it seemed to be an extremely old concept, inhabiting an underground scorching hotter than lava, and they had existed longer than the Dragons had been born and died.
She had both a vague and a sense of this powerful concept.
What is obscure is that she does not have a systematic and deep understanding of the mythical species and the concept of mythological ranks as Fisher and Emhardt, and certainly does not know what kind of moat there are between the creatures of the demon species here, including herself.
What she realized was that after all, she had just escaped death from the other party's hands before, and of course she had also glimpsed the corner of that huge power in front of that terrifying power.
She wasn't terrified or desperate for such a formidable enemy, she was just curious about how the humans had hooked up with demons, and that of course puzzled Emhart and Fisher.
Fisher suddenly remembered the mythical rank of unknown origin that he had encountered when he and Ingrid entered the factory that day, or that the guy who shot was what Rafael called Barbatos; Or worse, it wasn't Barbatos who struck, but other demon species, which also shows that Barbatos is not the only powerful demon species in Narifang.
Regardless, some demons have escaped the shackles of the Mother Goddess, left the Demon Dynasty and come to the surface, and even blended into the power of Nari in the open.
The mythical species mixed into the human dynasty was indeed a ridiculous thing in the eyes of Fisher, who had lived through the glory days of the mythical species 10,000 years ago.
If it's ridiculous, there must be a plan.
Perhaps Emhart was right, it really had to do with Helaire.
Just, why?
What did she want to do?
Fisher was lost in thought, but Rafael beside him was not mired in self-doubt and stagnation. She quickly pulled away from such news, turned her head to look at Fisher with a solemn expression beside her, she smiled, and thought that the other party was worried about herself, so she said,
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked about these heavy topics today. Don't worry, after their last official offensive was repelled by us a few months ago, they haven't organized a large-scale offensive for a long time. At most, there are a few rats that want to get their hands on it, and that's why I'm here now. ”
Fisher woke up from his thoughts, he looked at Rafael as if it was burning, and couldn't help but be moved by her optimism and fearlessness, he couldn't help but reach out to take her shoulder, but Rafael glanced at his hand and gently pressed his cheek up.
Fisher was slightly stunned, feeling the temperature of her supple skin and the watery gaze, and her heart couldn't help but move.
As mentioned earlier, the dragon race either does not fit the tail, and once the tail is fit, the desire for a suitable partner will be unimaginable, and the dragon race uses this to ensure the number of offspring.
Obviously, even the Dragon Queen, Rafael, followed such rules, and besides, she hadn't seen Fisher for a long, long time, and hadn't released her for a long time.
Turning to look at Fisher, there is no need to introduce at all, since he had the sub-human mother to complete the manual, which is out of place in the manual, his body is getting better day by day, and his waist is the same.
A dragon race who hasn't seen a suitable tail mate for a long time, a greedy human who doesn't know how to be satisfied at all, is like dry wood touching a fire, and it is about to explode.
Emhart floated in the sky, looking at Fisher in the east and Rafael in the west, and found that not only were their eyes almost drawn, but they were also getting closer and closer.
He had a look of lovelessness, and even felt that he had begun to glow like a light bulb.
He probably shouldn't be here, but in a tree outside.
"Woo! Woo! ”
But at this moment, a melodious sound of trumpets was heard outside the cave. l
Rafael's lips were already close to Fisher, and her empty and vague gaze froze, and then the excited tail behind her protested as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her.
Looking at Fisher, who was close at hand, Rafael's face instantly turned red, and she even felt that she was no longer greedy, and her desire to eat the other party was already clear.
But I've only met with each other for less than half an hour!
This
It's so shameless!
But. If it's a tail-fitting partner, there's no way around it. Right?
"Bang bang bang!"
The tail behind her twitched and flapped the ground, as impatient as a guest in a restaurant urging a waiter to serve food.
But she herself had already covered her red face and stood up, turned her face a little sideways, and whispered a little afraid to look directly at the other party,
"It's my men calling me, and the army in the rear has come to change guards. Tonight, I'll sneak you back to your temporary dormitory, and then I'll be back in a few days to deal with some things, there are quite a few humans there, so you won't have to be so careful. ”
Fisher also stood up with a smile, she is not as good as she was then, she is already the queen of the Dragon Court, and she has to be responsible and worry about many things.
Simply, he had no intention of refusing, it was all up to Rafael's arrangement.
He smiled and said to Rafael,
"Then, it's all up to the Queen."
After hearing this, Rafael didn't know what to think, the ruddy water on his face became a little more intense, and even the scales on his body that had been lying down came with a trace of steam.
She wagged her tail a little, her eyes dodging over his body and face, then coughed lightly and whispered,
"Ahem, come with me first, evening. Evening again. Summoned to you. ”
She straightened her armor, turned her head shyly, straightened her armor, and walked out of the cave as if fleeing, leading Fisher to her temporary residence.
Looking at her back as she left, Fisher smiled slightly, but he didn't know what he was laughing at, he just wanted to laugh anyway.
He glanced at Emhart, who had dead fish eyes in the sky, and called out,
"Let's go, Emhat."
Emhart glanced at him and muttered,
"Don't, people are going to summon ~ to see ~ you at night. Ahh ”
He wanted to say more, but he couldn't resist Fisher's ruthless iron hand, so he was easily caught, and he kept up with Rafael.
The cave was suddenly a little empty without the two figures
Only the place where they sat was obviously not illuminated by the sun, but there was only a trace of residual heat, accompanying the cave through the loneliness in the future.
Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
Thank you very much for your support!
