100. Message from Nari (2-in-1)
When Long Ting and Fisher left in the rear, their appearance had changed quite a bit, and the main change actually came from above the sea.
Similar to the Namggyi Mountains, which have been overturned by a tremendous force, the steep peaks of the mountains have suddenly risen above the surface of the sea, as if they were islands formed by the aftermath of some kind of hot force bursting on the ground.
"Is that the traces left by the demons after the battle, but even though I have entered the mythical rank, why do I still think it is so incredible?"
Sitting in the carriage and about to enter the Red Dragon Court, Rafael saw the strange scene on the sea from afar, and said with some emotion.
Emhart, who was standing on Fisher's shoulder, yawned and added to Rafael,
"Because you're not a mythical species, you're an acquired mythical rank. It may sound like the difference, but there is actually a difference. The race that enters the mythical rank the day after tomorrow is deficient in terms of ability compared to the mythical race because of the structure and ability of the original race."
The example given by Emhart was actually realized by Fisher a long time ago, for example, that elves are born to use the elven secret method of fate and the tree that corresponds to their name, and angels are born to use the energy of forging and accumulation, and combined with their mythical physique, it is very exaggerated in terms of combat expressiveness.
But what about those who enter the mythical rank the day after tomorrow?
Not to mention that the races that can enter the mythical rank are not far from the mythical rank, the most critical problem is that breaking free from the shackles of the rank does not mean that they are not the original race.
The phoenixes entered the myth the day after tomorrow, and they still only have the ability to see the future fate, and the rest of the magical power has to rely on a few swords made by angels to play, because the phoenix species is not born with such an ability, even if it enters the mythical rank, it still does not have.
The hierarchy constructed by the gods is unfair from beginning to end, the innate mythical species can have the ability and blessing to match the mythical rank, while the acquired ones who enter the mythical rank can only change their own constitution to a large extent, and they are obviously weaker than the mythical species.
The phoenix species is like this, not to mention the human beings, who are originally impossible to enter the fifth or sixth rank, if it is a normal mythical rank, Fisher is probably just a "superman" with a mythical physique, and has no special abilities, because humans were originally such a race.
However, unlike the rest of the races that enter the mythical rank the day after tomorrow, the mythical rank that enters through chaos can have blessings and abilities comparable to mythology, that is, the ability to complete the manual from the body, but there will be some price to pay when using it.
Hearing Emhart's explanation, Rafael seemed a little puzzled,
"What about Jasmine's mother? Jasmine is a whale race, so it stands to reason that her mother should also be a whale race, but whether it was Femabah, Jasmine or Fisher, she felt that her mother was very powerful. ”
"God of Destruction"
Emhardt opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't know how to explain it, because according to the general theory, this is indeed the case, which is why the emperor of the ocean who is beyond all theories is so special, so he had to mutter: "Well, I don't know about this, but if even Femabaha is convinced by her, it should really be considered powerful."
As the most grumpy of the three demigods, Femabah has always been scolding his two compatriots, and no one is in his eyes to the extreme, if even Femabaha has such an evaluation of Xuanshen, it can be seen that she has entered the mythical level as an acquired existence that is already powerful to a certain extent beyond doubt.
Well, so Emhart had no doubt that if Fisher had gone to see Xuanshen in person and asked her to help Rafael find a way, he might have really been promoted by Xuanshen.
"Rafael-sama, you're back!!"
Many of the buildings in the castle were temporary structures erected during the war, and their quality was tested by the aftermath of previous battles, and they were basically shattered at the touch of a button. When Rafael and Fisher returned, the officials of the prayer tower all led the few defenders to clean up the pieces inside the walls.
It was the soldiers who discovered Rafael and hurriedly brought the news back to Fasher Kosher, who was acting as the temporary leader, and they sent Mill to report to Rafael.
"Mill, what's going on here, where's my mother, where is she?"
"There is some damage to the building here, but the rest is fine, and it is still being counted. Lady Ariel was fine, but she seemed to have accidentally fallen during the previous evacuation and passed out in the Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers, and had been protected by the soldiers and stayed in the prayer tower. ”
Hearing this, Rafael finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and rejoiced,
"That's good, that's good."
"Lord Rafael, what about the situation at the front?" Seeing that Rafael was relieved, Mill also said hello to Fisher by the way, and then cautiously asked about the situation at the front, "How is Boole?" ”
"Bull is not a big deal, to be precise, this war is over before it even has a good start. But no matter what, this side can finally stop for a while, and without Barbatos, the miscellaneous and human beings of the puppet court are also"
"What's going on with that ship?"
At that moment, Fisher turned his head to look at the sea, as if he were feeling anything, and on the surface of the sea, a huge steamship came to a steady anchor near the sea, but had no intention of approaching it any further. The banner of the "Patrick Family" hanging above it made Fisher raise an eyebrow, as there was a line below the emblem with the name of "Sycamore Chamber of Commerce".
When did Nari's Patrick family get together with the North?
And for some reason, Fisher always had an extremely ominous premonition when he saw the word "sycamore".
"That's the ship of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce, which used to be our partner, but it's all superficial, I don't know how it is this time"
It was Rafael who spoke, and at the mention of this, she looked at Fisher instead, and said with a smile,
"And in a sense, we can cooperate with them and Fisher, you have to do it."
"Me?"
Fisher became nervous, fearing that there was something about "Valentina".
"Ah, you didn't have a classmate before. Should it be a junior, a person called Keken? ”
Hearing Rafael say this, he relaxed a little,
"Keken. I remember. ”
At that time, he had helped Fisher when he was in both the South and West Continents, and Fisher had never had a chance to repay him, but he didn't expect to hear his name now.
Well, Fisher remembers that he had a pair of sisters from Kado as wives.
"This Wutong Chamber of Commerce is the company he founded, and it seems to cooperate with the forces in the north, and it does not discriminate against subhumans. After we had been defeated by Barbatos and retreated south, we had been suffering for a long time due to the lack of supplies caused by the blockade of Nari, and we were in a situation where there was no way to buy things even if we had money. At that time, it was the Wutong Chamber of Commerce that provided us with supplies and helped us through the most difficult period."
Rafael turned to look at Fisher and said with a smile,
"And the premium of commodity prices is still in the acceptable range, and then I have done business with them more or less, and I heard that they have business with countries all over the world."
Fisher was a little surprised when he heard this, touched his chin and said,
"Is the premium still within the normal range of that situation, it really doesn't look like a merchant of Nari; On the other hand, it was not surprising that you would make a deal with him at that time. ”
"That's why it's your factor. That's why I got into a deal with him because of your relationship with him, and I knew through them that you had been to the North, but they didn't tell me what happened to you in Nari, and they didn't know that you were wanted by Nari."
Well?
How good to yourself is?
Not to talk about Nari would mean making Jasmine and Elizabeth invisible to Rafael, and also making her not know about Jasmine and Fisher until she returned; And judging from Rafael's words to the North at the moment, she probably doesn't know about her affairs with Valentina in the North Border.
Fisher didn't believe it was Keken who was so determined, he should know more than that much about many things, and he shouldn't have a reason to do so, unless it would be profitable for them to do so
Unless, there is a master behind him, and this interested party is also related to the master behind him.
For example, the group of slimes.
Fisher suddenly remembered his relationship with the group of slimes when he was in the Junction, and he had to take a closer look at the huge steamship.
Rafael also glanced at the side suspiciously, and asked Mill,
"Why are they here, is there any news?"
"Ah, speaking of which, they just wanted to find out what was going on here, and incidentally, they brought a message about 'Fisher' to Lord Rafael, and the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, the Nari man named Keken Patri, seems to be on the ship, and it was her wife who told me."
Fisher raised an eyebrow, and Rafael also turned his head to look at him, hesitating,
"That"
"Then let me go and meet him, I'll come back and tell you if there's any news, Aunt Ariel and the Dragon Court also need you here."
Emhart, who was standing on his shoulder, glared at a serious-looking Fisher with dead fish eyes, and those who knew him well would know that he was probably trying to prevent Kerken from telling Rafael some "unfounded" news.
For example, the inexplicable phoenix wife has woken up and is looking for Fisher all over the world; For example, the Empress of the Race is also missing her long-lost Prince. Well, Emhart also thinks that most of this is bad news for the fetus in the womb.
"Okay, it just so happens that you can also meet up with old friends, so leave it to me here."
Rafael didn't think much of it, nodded decisively, and gave the order to direct the work around him.
Fisher dismounted from the carriage and led Emhart to the ship of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce.
The closer it is to the steamship, the more obvious the style of the northern icebreaker becomes, and it actually has something in common with the shape of the Iceberg Queen, but because the Iceberg Queen was a warship, it appears to be more slender, and the merchant ship in front of it is more bloated.
At this moment, on the deck of the merchant ship, Keken, dressed in Nari's autumn attire, was holding a telescope looking at the sea in the distance, looking at the peaks and islands that had been splashed up by some earth-shattering force on the sea, and after a long time, he put down the telescope in his hand tremblingly, looked up at the illusory, ominous scarlet color in the sky, and said,
"Mother God bless, what the hell is going on here?"
At this time, Keken was obviously a little less youthful than he had been five years earlier, he had a mustache on his lips, and he wore a long black gentleman's hat, which looked more and more shrewd like his father in the black-and-white photographs.
The crew members around him were counting the goods, and it was obvious that this trip was not only to deliver some news, but also to make a lot of money by peddling supplies.
In the face of such a terrifying landscape, the news of the Dragon Queen in the distance was never coming, Keken had to raise his hand and prepare to order the crew to urge, but as soon as he turned his head, a black-haired man in a white robe appeared behind Keken unconsciously.
The moment he saw the man, Keken's hair stood up subconsciously, but it quietly disappeared The moment he spoke, the man said,
"Keken?"
"Mr. Fisher?"
Keken opened his mouth, and after a brief identification, he became more and more sure that this was the long-missing legend of Nari, Mr. Fisher Benavides,
"It's really you, my Mother Goddess, I didn't expect to see you here! Where have you been all these years? ”
He excitedly took a step forward and stretched out his hand, and Fisher also raised his hand to shake his hand.
"I'm just busy with something else. Moreover, I didn't expect that the descendants of the Bai Cui family had reached this point. Sycamore Chamber of Commerce, this is your new masterpiece? ”
"It's a masterpiece that's just a little bit of an attempt."
Even after letting go of Fisher's hand, Keken's expression could not hide his excitement, but at this moment, looking around at the ship that was still on the surface of the sea, he couldn't help but wonder how Fisher got on the ship.
You must know that because of the previous great battle here, the port of the Dragon Court has been completely destroyed, and when he sent people to inform the prayer tower, he could only rely on the crew to row a small boat, but Fisher got on the boat without knowing it.
I always feel that Mr. Fisher Benavides is not the same as before.
He didn't ask directly, but instead stretched out his hand to lead the way, ready to take Fisher to a more suitable place to talk,
"Mr. Fisher, it's not convenient to talk here, please come here, I'll ask my wife to prepare some delicious food, ah, and of course good wine, you shouldn't have tasted the most authentic Nari Mer bar in all these years?"
"That's true."
Keken happily led Fisher into the cabin, instructing the crew to hurry up and come back, while Emhart, who was in Fisher's arms, secretly looked outside, and took in all the things in the cabin.
As far as the eye could see, there were all the luxurious national specialties, such as Schwali's jewels, the quaint relics of Kado, the armor of the Satinia women's kingdom, etc., which seemed to have something to do with what he had gained over the years, and in the afterglow, Emhardt saw a statue of a plane tree in the corridor of the cabin.
He arched Fisher's chest as a reminder, and soon they were in a room at the end of the cabin, which was supposed to be a hall for entertaining.
"Lana, prepare some food for me, and by the way, take down the bottle of wine I kept in my bedroom?"
Korken looked up, and Fisher looked at the same time, and suddenly saw a lady in northern costume leaning against the fence and looking down.
She had short, burgundy hair, and she didn't have much expression, and even after hearing Kerken's words, she only nodded slightly and went back to her room to prepare.
"Please, Mr. Fisher, we haven't seen each other for five years, especially after the incident with Queen Elizabeth."
"Ah, yes. I haven't known about Nari for all these years, and I don't know how it compares to before. ”
After Fisher was seated, Keken turned to the goblet for the wine to enjoy, and as he chose the right glass, he said with a smile,
"Honestly, it's a lot better than before. Empress Elizabeth is a good queen, and although there is no shortage of criticism of her in the political and business circles, it is also aimed at her and the Golden Palace's forced intervention in the market. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nari's strength and the lives of the people are on a higher level than before."
He took two suitable glasses, and returned with two fine cigars, and placed them in front of Fisher and him before he sat down.
"Corruption was brought under control, the Griffin Party and the New Party, which were originally good at infighting, were separated, the Nali Development Company was nationalized, education was restructured, and a workers' rights protection bill was introduced. An iron fist is not good for Nari, but the iron fist of Her Majesty Elizabeth can. Even we, the Patri family, have opened up new areas and made loans to companies that produce cardinals. ”
"She's better than Dexter."
"Otherwise, how can you be the first empress?"
Keken lit a match and tried to light a cigar for Fisher, but he politely refused, so Keken had to light it for himself and extinguish the match.
"Let's talk about you, is your departure over the years related to the Empress? Mr. Fisher Benavides's wanted warrant lasted only half a year from the time it was launched to the time it disappeared, and it was as cloudy as a little girl and her lover losing her temper. ”
"No, it has nothing to do with her, but I'm going to go back sooner or later, and my problem with her has never been a matter of being wanted or not."
"Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see this." Keken took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile, "The ministers told the Empress to hurry up and choose the Prince, and those advice flew like snowflakes to the Golden Palace, and nothing could be done except to make Empress Elizabeth feel bad." If it weren't for the fact that Schwali's Prince Lausanne were all married, and there were no other suitable princes, the marriage letters would have filled the mailbox of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”
"She's this year"
"In his early thirties, of course, he was in the prime of life. In fact, if you really want to say it, no matter how bad Queen Elizabeth is, there are still younger brothers and sisters, Princess Isabel who is adrift, several princes and princesses who are still young outside the Golden Palace, but you know, the people's trust in Her Majesty Elizabeth is unprecedented, and this change rooted in the visible eye has given Her Majesty unparalleled adoration, so that only her own blood can inherit this trust. ”
Elizabeth spent four and a half years, and for Fisher, the four and a half years of reality have slipped away only in the past few months.
"Da Da Da"
At this moment, the young woman whom Kerken had commanded came forward with a bottle of red wine in her hands and two maids carrying the dishes, and she nodded to Fisher in greeting, and then opened the bottle and decanted herself.
Keken smiled helplessly, so he had to stretch out his hand and introduce,
"Mr. Fisher, please allow me to introduce to you, this is Adina, my wife, she is from the North, she is a little bad at words, please forgive me."
"Oh, wife?"
"Ah, yes, but don't get me wrong, I'm not divorced from my first two wives, they're still resting on it, we're from the north, it's a long journey, they're a little seasick, so."
“.”
In other words, this guy married a third wife?
Fisher glanced at the beautiful lady who was pouring red wine, I don't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that there seemed to be a faint flash of golden light on the body of the woman in front of him, just when he squinted his eyes to look at the golden light clearly, he suddenly found that the hand of the Keken wife holding the wine bottle was becoming "soft" little by little.
Became the kind of green softness?
No, this is one.
"Slime?"
“!!”
The moment Fisher opened his mouth to ask, he felt Adina's figure tremble slightly, and although her face was still expressionless, her fingers and arms had begun to change towards dark green.
Keken also raised an eyebrow to look at Adina, then stood up with a smile and caught the bottle she was holding, looked at Fisher embarrassedly and said,
"Ah, I forgot, Mr. Fisher is a well-known subhuman scholar. Yes, Adina is a slime I met in the North, but as a slime, she's a bit too young and immature, and she's so shy that she can't even maintain her disguise every time she's shy, so I'm sorry. ”
As he explained to Fisher, he gently hugged Adina into his arms, and the slime, though still expressionless, gently wrapped its soft tentacles around Keken's waist as if he had finally relaxed, and buried his face in his shoulders, looking very clingy.
"Then go back first, I have something to talk to Mr. Fisher."
“.”
Adina didn't move, only her body became softer and tighter and hugged him tighter, as if she had been instinctively startled by the gaze of Fisher of the Mythical Rank just now.
Fisher, however, was a little surprised, he glanced at the room above and asked,
"You just said that both of your wives are on it, and that they are sisters and don't care about each other, I can understand that, but do they care about this . Doesn't Adina care too? ”
"Ah, although it was a bit of trouble at first, it's much better now. They get along very well now, and they like Adina's personality, and they are very harmonious now, and they can still be together every night."
"Whoa!"
Before she could finish speaking, she had been gently slapped on the mouth by Adina's soft tentacles in her arms, and then before she could see clearly, she jumped down lightly, and fled upstairs with a disguise that was about to disappear completely, as if she was too ashamed to listen to it anymore.
“.”
Fisher opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say.
And Keken smiled embarrassedly, stretched out his hand and waved away the maid next to him, ready to start enjoying the meal with Fisher,
"Please, Mr. Fisher, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"Where."
With such fine wine as the company, the atmosphere on the table gradually warmed, and Fisher took a sip of Nari's fine black mamba, and couldn't help but feel happy.
"I haven't tasted this wine before."
"That's of course, the latest factory. Nari has recently added a few new wineries, and they all taste amazing. Taste more, I don't have anything good to entertain you here. ”
Fisher tasted a few more glasses of such treasures, and the topic gradually got to the point, he glanced at the door where Adina had slipped away just now, and asked in passing,
"Is that Adina from before the one from the Frost Sycamore Tree?"
Keken was slightly stunned, but he still swallowed half of the wine in his glass, and then shook his head and explained with a smile,
"No, no, or not in the strict sense of the word, marrying her is not within the scope of my cooperation with the Barion Patriarch."
"So, you're doing something for them?"
"I can't hide it from you, it's true." Keken's face was slightly red, and he explained, "The Sycamore Chamber of Commerce was established by me with the help of their resources, and the channels and resources of that group of slimes are unimaginable to me, and it is a pleasure to work with them, at least more than at home." Over the years, I have also earned a lot as an agent of the Wutong Chamber of Commerce, and I have my footprints everywhere, and my reputation and strength have even impressed my elders."
"Is there any price to pay?"
"The price? Well, it depends on how to understand that there is no price for businessmen, only costs, and my cost is the right agent status and a good mind, which is exactly what they need. But once in a while, I need to do some errands for others, just like this time. ”
Keken refilled drinks for himself and Fisher, then he sat up straighter, rubbed the walls of his glass, looked at Fisher and said,
"I've heard from the slimes about your deeds in the North, the husband of the phoenix, the excavator of the sycamore tree, the exterminator of the curse, the gravedigger of the Turan family, sure enough, gold shines wherever it goes, but your mysterious disappearance four and a half years ago still makes the Barion patriarch quite concerned, all these years, especially recently, they have been searching for your whereabouts Phoenix, has awakened, Mr. Fisher."
Valentina had woken up.
Fisher was slightly stunned, and then also looked at the scarlet wine in the wall of the glass, but before he could reply, Keken, whose face was slightly red, had already spoken again,
"I really envy you, there is such a legendary story, Queen Elizabeth, the legendary phoenix, and even the dragon queen of the dragon court are all related to you, but I have no fate with the word big man. But maybe my father used to be right, people may have a certain point when their pursuits change, for example, now, I think it's good. ”
“.”
Just as Keken sighed, there was another conversation upstairs, it was a woman's voice,
"What's going on, Adina, what's going on down there? Husband, are you down there? ”
"I'm here, Dora, and Mr. Fisher is here. It's the same Mr. Fisher Benavides we met before."
"Are you drinking again, aren't you drinking badly? Also, what's going on out there, why is the sky so red? ”
"I don't know."
Fisher looked up and saw the three ladies of Keken, the one named "Dora", who was supporting Adina, who had just run away shyly, looking quite friendly and worried about her.
Although it looked good, Fisher could hardly imagine the women he knew being so harmoniously together.
Elizabeth smiled and hugged Rafael, Valentina and Jasmine talked happily, Helaire smiled and looked at Renee, Aragina and Elliog stayed together kindly, watching Asuka Karasawa next to her magic teaching?
No, maybe the next second in the room will start a devastating war like the Second Mythical War, and a lot of people will die.
The cold sweat on Fisher's forehead broke out, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly rubbed his temples, stretched out his hand to interrupt Keken, and asked,
"So, you're here to get news of me for the North, right?"
"Ah, there are considerations, but not the main reason. After all, you were completely lost before, and neither I nor the slimes could guarantee that they would be able to find you, so in essence, this time I came to do a little trade with the Dragon Court. ”
"What was the news you said earlier about me? Are you going to tell the Dragon Queen about the relationship between the phoenix and me? ”
"Don't you dare, the slimes don't dare to tell the phoenix about these things." Keken waved his hand helplessly, as if he had a slight feeling for the terrifying Shura field that Fisher was facing, and at the same time, he also reached out and took a newspaper next to him and handed it to Fisher, "What I originally wanted to say is something else, and it just so happens that you are also here." This matter should not have been so important to the Dragon Queen, at that time for you"
Fisher took the newspaper with a slight start, it seemed to be last week's Nari Daily, and the first thing that caught my eye was a large line of headlines,
"A heavy remembrance of the great magician of the century, Mr. Haython Lacazette"
Fisher's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly sat up straight and unfolded the newspaper, reading the words below word by word,
"In the early morning of July 19, the year of Elizabeth I, Mr. Haython Lacazette, a distinguished magician of the Nari Royal Academy, the president of the Nari Magical Society, a member of the World Magic Society, the great magician of the century, the former dean of the School of Magic of the Nari Royal Academy, and a retired legendary wizard, died of a heart attack at the age of 104 in a manor on the outskirts of Chitl City, north of Nari.
"Looking back on Mr. Haytham's life, it is the most brilliant and legendary life. From the age of nineteen to him"
Fisher read the entire report word by word in disbelief, right down to the last few lines,
"The Nari Magical Society lowered its flag at half-mast, and the World Magical Society decided to use July 19 as the 'Magic Revitalization Day' every year, and set up the 'Haytham Award Fund' to commemorate the contributions and achievements of this magical giant of the century. As a junior and student of Mr. Lacazette's Royal Academy, Queen Elizabeth expressed her deep condolences when she heard the news on the morning of 19 July, and said that she would personally attend Mr. Lacazette's funeral on 1 August.
Fisher clenched the newspaper little by little, until he could put the last line of text in his eyes, but he still couldn't put it down, and could only keep looking at the black and white photo of Mr. Haytham on the paper.
Keken coughed lightly, sighed and said,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher, but this has been the last week, and the news has spread throughout the Western Continent. I know that as the only closed disciple of Haytham Magician, the relationship between you and him is not comparable to that of ordinary teachers and students. ”
Fisher's expression was serious, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that he was able to put the newspaper back on the table.
He took a deep breath and glanced up at the calendar that Keken had placed on the cabinet beside him, which happened to be July 26th, a full five days before the first of August.
After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Keken and said,
"I'm going back to Nari to attend Mr. Haytham's funeral."
Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
Thank you very much for your support!
