The faint moonlight was skewed, and the candles in a room in the court of the prayer tower were dimmed, and the heavy paper rolls on the desk were spread out or stacked together, and even the face of the blue-haired girl who was staring at the paper rolls became extremely clear.

This girl is the whale species Jasmine who has been in the Dragon Court for more than a few years.

"Hmm"

On both sides of the girl's long blue hair, the two long black slender ears fanned, rolling up a little cool breeze while not fanning away the thick exhaustion on her face.

As the priest of the Red Dragon Court, she has a lot of things to deal with, especially now that the war is getting closer, although there are many officials like Mill below to help, but many trivial and critical things need to be implemented and supervised by Jasmine.

All of this work will be handed over to the Bat's chiefs, Emre and his wife, who are also very trusted by Rafael, who followed Rafael to establish the New Dragon Court five years ago.

Jasmine's learning speed is very fast, and in less than a few months after coming here, she has completely mastered the Longting language, listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The work in front of her is almost completed, and the time to send troops is getting closer and closer, which makes Jasmine's heart feel a little bottomless - although she and Rafael have not met in private since Fisher returned, the affairs of the Dragon Court are still exchanged through official documents, so Jasmine knows very well what Rafael and the Red Dragon Court will arrange next.

She only suddenly remembered the war of two and a half years ago, the frenzied wind, the invincible enemy, the human general Barbatos.

Unlike Rafael, Jasmine has been by the side of Xuanshen since she was a child, and even Xuanshen is not a good educator, and she can't teach Jasmine in simple terms in many things, but under the influence of a demigod, Jasmine still clearly feels that her mother is different from other creatures.

Mythology.

She did know this concept, knowing that Fisher had reached the myth, and that she, the whale race, had left the ocean to protect him from falling into the whirlpool of annihilation, but she had never seen the threshold of the mythical rank.

She didn't have the talent of her mother.

So what kind of talent do you have?

Is there nothing?

Jasmine was in a daze, looking at the tea that had cooled in the wooden cup next to her, and after a moment of silence, she still stepped back, took her overly broad heart away from the support of the table, and shook it elastically.

She was a little confused, staring at the water in the cup in a daze, and it was not until a long time later that she opened her mouth softly and called,

"Master Ramastia"

“.”

But unsurprisingly, Ramastia still did not reply to her, since several years ago, Lord Ramastia's consciousness has not left the ocean, and if she wants to contact him again, I am afraid that Jasmine will have to return to the deep sea.

But in that case, Jasmine will definitely be discovered by Xuanshen, and it's hard to say whether she can come back in that way.

However, according to Jasmine's stagnant state, I am afraid that she will be captured by Xuan Shen before the destruction comes

"Hmm, what the hell am I going to do?"

"What to do?"

"What am I supposed to do?"

Jasmine rubbed her temples and subconsciously replied, but then she realized something, and quickly looked at the door, only to see the arrogant figure revealed in the faint candlelight.

But at the door of her room, Rafael changed into a black dress, her paws were supporting the door frame, but the whole person did not step into Jasmine's room, but waited outside the door.

Jasmine quickly stood up and looked at Rafael at the door in disbelief.

Maybe it's the rout of the previous head-to-head confrontation, maybe it's the guilt of secretly having a private meeting with Fisher for fear of being discovered, or maybe it's a little joy of reuniting after not seeing each other for a long time?

So at this moment, Jasmine is in her room, but she looks quite cramped,

"Lara Fael, you're here?"

"Well, can I come in, Jasmine?"

"Of course."

Rafael smiled slightly, and slowly walked into Jasmine's office room, facing the night breeze outside the window, her long rose-colored hair was also blown behind her by the breeze, swaying slightly.

There were many unlit candles on the candlestick next to it, and Rafael noticed it and asked,

"Why don't you light the lights?"

"When we're in the ocean, we don't need too much light, I'm used to it."

"Wouldn't it be dark?"

But Rafael stretched out his two fingers and put them on top of the candle, rubbing them slightly, and the burst of heat caused the candle to burn, illuminating the other extinguished candles in succession, slowly dispelling the shadows in the room, and illuminating Jasmine's face not far away.

Jasmine shrank slightly, but with the light, the appearance of the dragon race in front of her was also displayed in front of her very clearly.

Rafael's appearance was as bright and hot as it had been when they first met, like a lit candle that would illuminate everything in the room.

Unlike Jasmine, who was watching Rafael, the first thing Rafael saw as she slowly approached was the various official documents of the Dragon Court placed on her desk.

When she saw the document, Rafael's previous steps stopped in place, and she paused for a moment before moving on to another matter,

"I took Fisher to my mother."

Jasmine was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything, just silently waited for Rafael's next words.

And Rafael's afterglow saw that Jasmine was silent, and there was no surprise in her turquoise eyes, but she continued,

"Jasmine, you're from outside the Dragon Court, and logically speaking, everything here should have nothing to do with you, but."

"Rafael, are you trying to drive me away?"

Rafael looked at Jasmine with some surprised expression, but then, she shook her head and said with a smile,

"Why, in my heart, you have always been my good friend. And, I mean, the affairs of the Dragon Court should have nothing to do with you, but you have been helping me all these years, and without your help, I would not be where I am today. I thank you and respect your friendship. I don't blame you for Fisher's affairs, Jasmine.

"If you want to blame, you can only blame him, blame him for being an amorous Nali person, blame me, blame me for not having the ability, not enough confidence to monopolize him. You have told me a lot about your relationship with the teacher before, of course I know his friendship to save you from danger, and I believe you can also understand the respect and tacit understanding between me and him, but you and I did not expect that we would miss the same person, which created the current embarrassing situation. ”

Jasmine also lowered her head a little embarrassed, and the candle flame next to her swayed, casting a shaky shadow on the other party and her face.

"Rafael, I."

"I took Fisher to see my mother, but I didn't want me to make him regret it, I wanted to tell him about my affection for him, and I didn't want my tail partner to be just wishful thinking on my part, and even my parents and ancestors had to be lied to. If I could, I would even like to have a wedding with him and make everything about us public, but as you know, the situation in the Dragon Court is not enough for me to do so. Barbatos and his army were about to go south, and two and a half years ago, his terrifying power has impressed me to this day. To be honest, I don't know how to deal with him."

Rafael raised his scale-covered paws, which were trembling slightly, as if his muscles were recalling the pain of being shattered in an instant when he had fought that terrible foe head-on.

Even though Rafael's injuries had healed now under Jasmine's treatment and the passage of time, the terrifying power had fallen along her muscles and into her heart, making her shudder at the thought of it.

Could it be that this rumored "Dragon Queen" is so cowardly that she will be intimidated by an enemy?

In fact, if she was really frightened, she would not be calm in front of the dragon court, her relatives, and Fisher, even if this composure was just her disguise

It's just that the terrifying power like the moat is undeniable, according to Fisher, he hasn't even seen the door of the "myth", and he has to fight head-on with the existence of the eighteenth order, such a disparity in strength, as long as a person will feel a gap and invincible despair.

demon

It turned out to be the legendary demon.

Rafael didn't know why the demon would be in cahoots with the humans and the group of puppets, but there weren't so many reasons on the battlefield, since they were enemies, the only thing Rafael could think about was how to defeat the other party.

But after thinking about it, there was no way, and this was the source of Rafael's powerlessness.

Jasmine noticed Rafael's slightly shaking hand, she was also a witness to the war, and she was the one who saved Rafael, who was seriously wounded, and of course knew what kind of existence they were facing.

Again, she thought of her mother again.

When she was a child, her mother told herself that when she was not yet a mythical rank, she once had a conflict with a mythical angel, and fought with him in the sea, although she was seriously injured and lay on the bottom of the sea for a long time, she said that she was very excited at that time, even if she failed, she did not feel frustrated at all, and even wanted to wait for the injury to heal before hitting the angel's lair and fighting again.

As a result, not long after the injury, when she was ready to fight again, her father had already avenged her in advance, which made her quite concerned.

As a result, not long after the injury, when she was ready to fight again, her father had already avenged her in advance, which made her quite concerned.

Therefore, even if her mother encountered an enemy a hundred times stronger than the angel in the future, she still felt that she was not more willing than the battle at the bottom of the sea.

And what about yourself?

I met such a mythical species, but I only thought about running away!

Although, in hindsight, it was wise to run away with the injured Rafael, and it was already a blessing in misfortune that he managed to escape.

But Jasmine herself knew that it was not a rational decision, but an irresistible fear from the soul.

She was only thinking about running away at the time, so scared that she didn't even dare to look at the other party, she ran away so much that her brain was blank, she didn't remember anything, she only remembered running wildly all the way.

It's so different from my mother.

Jasmine didn't know how to comfort Rafael, she pursed her lips and just said,

"Those beings are demonic species, but they don't know why they escaped from the demon dynasty. But previously, Fisher didn't say that he had "

Jasmine was silent as she spoke, and then glanced cautiously at Rafael. Because according to reason, the fact that she and Fisher secretly met in private should not have been known to Rafael. Including Fisher's statement that he would deal with the two demons, he also told Jasmine in a private meeting, so wouldn't it be exposed when he said it?

But Rafael, who heard the words, only glanced at Jasmine, and didn't care about the two of them meeting secretly.

Maybe it was Jasmine's movement that she heard this morning when she was pretending to be asleep, which made her sure that even if the two of them met, nothing bad would happen; Maybe it's because Rafael's feelings for Jasmine are deep enough, and when the two are alone at the moment, she won't criticize her sisters who have been with her for four and a half years.

In fact, if you really want to look at the time they have been together, Jasmine has been with Rafael for much longer than Fisher.

It's a pity that emotional things don't matter how long or short they are timed.

How many people have been unable to sleep and eat since then, and have lived in an illusory shadow in their hearts since then, just because of that pitiful glimpse; There are also many people, even if they sleep with the people around them day and night, but they each have their own ghosts and thoughts.

The time spent with Fischer was so short that if Fisher had not been so promiscuous, Rafael would have felt that it would not be enough to record their relationship at any length.

I believe that this is also the case for Jasmine, when she was involved in the death of her relatives and relatives when she left the ocean and was not deeply involved in the world, Fisher, who saved her from fire and water, became an inseparable part.

Jasmine's words came to an abrupt end, but Rafael already understood what she meant, so she shook her head and said,

"Of course I'm willing to trust Fisher, even if he doesn't think he's capable of keeping up with that Barbatos. He said that there was not only a demon similar to Barbatos on the other side, but there was another one, Agareth, who sent the human reporter at that time? ”

"And. A? ”

"Well, I can't even imagine how terrifying these two demons must be. I'm sure Fisher probably already had a way to deal with them, after all, with his character, he would never have said anything like that without a little eyebrow."

"So what is Rafael worried about?"

Rafael hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at her,

"I'm worried about the methods he used."

"How?"

"Well, whenever I think that Fisher is helping me, I sometimes have some nightmares and dreams of some. I don't quite remember the specific content of the dream. I forgot what I saw, but I remembered how I felt in my dreams, the uneasiness and fear. I don't know if it's because of those powerful demons or because of my suspicions about him."

Rafael paused for a few seconds before adding his unfinished words,

"I believe in his affection for you and me, so I suspect that he may have taken risks in the wrong way and in the wrong way in order to save us. If so, the price he will pay will be unacceptable to me, and even if he does defeat the demon in the end, I will feel unworthy for him. ”

"Did you ask what method he would use Rafael?"

"I asked, but it was all vague, he just said that he would go to the Demon Dynasty, the lair of the demons, the place where the demons escaped. But I don't believe that this alone can avoid confrontation with them, after all, it is very wrong for that group of demons to appear in the service of Elizabeth in the human alliance, and there must be other secrets that we don't know. ”

"Demon Dynasty."

"Well, I don't know where that place is, but I've heard the Erem Patriarch mention it before, and demons live deep underground."

"So, what does Rafael want Fisher to do? Do you want him to give up and help you, it's impossible, and I can't accept it. If the war is lost once it is lost."

"Of course he won't agree, Jasmine. In a few days I will lead the army to the front, and he will surely set off as well. I still have things to take care of on the front line, and you Jasmine, I want you to travel with him to the Demon Dynasty. ”

"Hey, me?"

Jasmine suddenly became nervous, and she looked at Rafael, afraid that this was her way of testing herself, but when she looked up, she only saw Rafael's face on the side.

She carried the candle on her back, and her green eyes shone brightly,

"Yes, you."

Jasmine shrank a little and whispered,

"I thought . . . Rafael cares a lot about me and me."

"Well, I care about it."

"Then you still have"

"But there's no way, I'm afraid this is the end of my life."

Rafael shook his head, looked out the window at the dragon court who had been quiet for a moment as if it was on the eve of a storm, and whispered to Jasmine,

"You and I both know the situation in this war. Even without those two demons, because of the defeat two and a half years ago, our strength has been greatly reduced, and we are far inferior to the puppet court and humans in terms of soldiers, not to mention that there is Nari behind them. Even though our abilities are much higher than normal, we are no match for demons. So, I had to think about what would happen if I failed.

"When I was defeated and retreated, many ethnic groups left their homes with their families and fled to this corner of the country with me. If the army is defeated, I will not have the shame to leave them and Fisher and my family away. I will die here, with my soldiers. But you're different, Jasmine, you're not a subhuman of the Dragon Court in the first place, and you can leave freely, which can be regarded as a guarantee for me.

"I still haunt it, but I would rather entrust Fisher to you than Elizabeth and the like. I want you to follow him into the Demon Dynasty and stop him when he is forced to make bad decisions because of me and the Dragon Court, lest he pay the price. Then, even if you fail, you can get out of here with him and my mother."

Jasmine pursed her lips, feeling Rafael's concession at the moment, but she didn't have any joy at all, she gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment and then looked at the ocean outside the Dragon Court, and then said,

"I'm going to beg my mother to let her help us."

Rafael only looked at her quietly, then shook his head and said to her,

"You told me that you made a promise to your mother, of course, that a strong person like her will have compassion because of who you are, but that is for your safety. Go back to find your mother, and she won't promise anything but never come back. Don't do anything stupid, Jasmine. ”

Jasmine reached out and pinched the edge of her sacrificial robe tightly, only at this moment, she wished she had the power of her mother.

She probably wished that Rafael would have quarreled with her over the Fisher affair as before, and that she would have told herself so calmly about the explanations and arrangements behind her, like a slip of fate, and could only watch it slide and fall into the abyss.

"That's it, Jasmine, remember what I said, I'll leave these things to you"

Rafael smiled slightly, then turned sideways to look at her, of course, he also saw her hesitation and unwillingness, after a moment's hesitation, Rafael still stepped forward and gently took Jasmine's hand, wrapping her slightly cool skin in the heat.

"Rafael, maybe there's something else to do, Fisher."

"I want that too. However, if I survive, you and Fisher will be in trouble. ”

"Rafael, you know me"

Rafael gently shook Jasmine's hand, crumpled her next words into her mouth, and then she finally said,

"Thank you, Jasmine."

Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!

Thank you very much for your support!
