101. Which side

"Well, I expected that when I saw you," Kerken smiled, then added, "The world knows about Mr. Fisher Benavides' conflict with the Royal Academy, and of your teacher-student friendship with Grand Magician Lacazette. I mean, of course Queen Elizabeth knew. ”

"I know, she must blame me for the fact that I disappeared for four and a half years without showing up, and I haven't gone to Nari to look for her after showing up."

Fisher smiled regretfully, looked at Keken and said,

"But no matter what the situation may be, I am a disciple of Master Haytham and I must return and attend his funeral in person."

"I'm afraid it's more than that, Mr. Fisher."

Keken touched his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed in the direction of the north,

"A few days ago, almost a few months ago, the Queen of Iceberg, one of the four famous pirates of the seas, was plotted by the Black Chieftain and caused her ship to sink. After that, she and her crew were forced to leave the sea and enter the north, enlisting the help of the Frosty Sycamore, including Princess Isabel. When Empress Elizabeth learned of this, she sent an envoy to the north to bring Princess Isabel back.

Black Chief, the great pirate who collaborated with Aragina?

Speaking of which, he had invited Arajina to go with him to find the Storm Sea, and now there is even a factory for the production of cardinals in the Sanctuary on Nari's side, and when he contacts the Black Chieftain about his betrayal of Arajina, his connection with Nari is clear at a glance.

Listening to Keken's words, Fisher frowned first.

Of course, he was worried about Arajina's situation, and he knew that the ship was the only place for Aragina and her crew, but now that it was destroyed and exiled, he had to worry.

It wasn't until he heard that she had gone to the Frost and Snow Sycamore Tree that Fisher relieved himself a little, and then his heart inevitably swelled up about Valentina's meeting with Aragina.

"Arajina must have refused."

"Indeed, I forgot that your relationship with the Queen of the Iceberg is extraordinary. But more than that, Her Majesty Elizabeth certainly understood that Princess Isabel would not come back so easily, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Princess Isabel herself who did not want to return to Nari, so the meaning conveyed by the envoy was more threatening than negotiating. ”

"Something is wrong."

"You see that, too?"

Keken smiled slightly, watched Fisher groan and tap on the table, and then analyzed,

"If Valentina is really born, the existence of a phoenix that has swept the entire northern realm of faith will definitely cause panic in the northern countries, at least its name will be widely spread, and Elizabeth who is far away in Nari cannot be unaware. Even if Elizabeth didn't know anything about the legendary phoenix's strength and abilities, it would be impossible for her to threaten the Sycamore Tree so recklessly. Unless, she is confident, the Sycamore Tree is no match for Nari. ”

"Yes, that's what makes Patriarch Barion have some concerns. Na Liming looks like a rising star in the Western Continent, but few people can see through the driving force hidden in it, and it is difficult to guess what hole cards exist in the palm of Queen Elizabeth's hand. Just be reminded that the newly awakened Phoenix-sama is not a good stubble, and it is said that she maybe, probably, maybe, mentioned a little about you in her reply to Her Majesty Elizabeth's letter. ”

“.”

Fisher was stunned, and even the movement of his fingers tapping on the table stopped abruptly,

"Mention me? And Elizabeth? ”

"Ah, I guess, that's what Patriarch Barion said anyway, but that phoenix wouldn't be too much. Should. ”

“.”

How do you feel, all of a sudden, this trip to Nari suddenly becomes dangerous.

He fell silent for a moment, rubbing his temples, looking a little headache.

Not to be afraid of Elizabeth, for he had decided to settle her and his own affairs long before he left the world and traveled back in time.

It's just that Haytham's funeral is still five days away, and Elizabeth will be present at the funeral in person, knowing with her toes that she will be there to arrange for Fisher, who just doesn't want to turn the teacher's funeral into a place for the two of them to settle past grievances.

At least wait for the funeral to pass.

"You're working for those slimes, don't they know anything about Nari and Elizabeth's secrets, given their infiltration of society beyond the North?"

"Sadly, no. In the past few years, whether it is the Southern Continent or the Western Continent, the slimes dormant in it will be quietly executed, and it can be said that my understanding of Nari is limited to the general public, and I can only feel the overall prosperity, but I don't know where the confidence to support Her Majesty Elizabeth comes from. ”

Keken spread his hands and shook his head, but then he suddenly remembered something, and added to Fisher,

"However, I do know a little secret of this 'human alliance' in the Southern Continent. In fact, all the troops here are all hired, not the army of Nari itself, and the source is the small country on the east coast of the Western Continent with a serious population loss. However, it can be seen that Empress Elizabeth did not have high hopes for this army, otherwise she would not have even appointed General Barbatos so casually, it was completely a person who did not know the roots. It is difficult to say what Her Majesty Elizabeth really meant, but it is better to be cautious. ”

The east coast of the Western Continent?

It turns out that the appointment of the Barbatos Human Alliance is like this?

Fisher thought for a moment, if Elizabeth didn't know the details of Barbatos and Agareth's demons, then what was the purpose of the force she sent to support the puppet regime, and the personnel of the troops were still from such a sensitive war-torn area

"Well, thanks for the reminder, but I've already decided that I'm going to return to Nari."

"Well, if Mr. Fisher decides to do so, I can let the slimes know about it too. With the help of their teleportation capabilities, you don't have to run around the seas either. Come on, Mr. Fisher, eat more, I don't know why you're here or what happened here. I thought it would be difficult for the Dragon Court to withstand the human alliance's southward movement this time, but although it seems to have suffered some losses, at least the result is good."

Keken raised his glass and poured Fisher full of red wine, and now, as soon as the bottle of the finest Nari wine had been put to the bottom, he had to call his wives to fetch him wine, so that they could use it for his pleasure and talk about the past.

Fisher saw his drunkenness but did not persuade him, Keken had done his best to help him as an old man when he was in the Southern Continent and the Western Continent, and to be honest, at least in the matter of coordinating the relationship between his wives, Fisher still admired him.

Otherwise, Fisher wouldn't have imagined so barren, and he felt a chill down his spine at the thought of the group of women with whom he was connected.

I don't know how long ago, Fisher's heart was gradually surrounded by many things, urging him to think all the time. Looking at Keken holding up the wine in front of him, Fisher also relaxed for the first time in a long time, and left all the questions lingering in his mind behind.

He just raised the glass in his hand, and the slight touch with Keken caused a ripple in the wine.

"Okay, okay, you're drinking too much, it's time to stop."

The conversation continued into the evening, during which Fisher and Keken talked a lot, and of course they talked about each other, but Keken talked a lot and Fisher talked less.

From his mouth, Fisher learned about the current situation in Nari, of course, there is no lack of the process of his acquaintance with the slimes, the reason why he cooperated with the slimes is still because he is not willing to rely on the family's dream, from the current situation, at least in Fisher's eyes, he is better than many young people in the Petri family.

And when he was drunk, his three wives also walked down with some concern, stopping him from opening another bottle of wine.

Fisher saw that he was too drunk to take his leave, and Lady Dora thought about giving Fisher a ride, but Fisher needed nothing, so he went on deck alone and prepared to leave.

Lady Dora, who was behind her, politely tried to come out to see him off, but in the blink of an eye, she disappeared after Fisher left a sentence of "I'll come back to Keken later", and she was dumbfounded.

It didn't take long for Fisher to arrive at the prayer tower unnoticed, and no one noticed him.

He was not drunk at all, and let out Emhat, who had been in his arms all afternoon,

"Oh, suffocate me, that friend really loves to drink and can't drink, obviously I'm about to vomit and drink. But I thought you were outrageous enough, but I didn't expect him to be so exaggerated that even slimes could do it. Are you students of the Royal Academy in the same vein, all so weird? ”

Although the reputation of the Royal Academy is already very bad, it is honest to say that this aspect has nothing to do with the Royal Academy at all.

"I didn't expect him to marry a slime, especially a pure Nari like him."

"Oh, pure Nari gentleman." Emhart stood on his shoulder, shook his head and sighed, "You are not at all as good as him in this respect, you look at how well his three wives are so harmonious, look at you again, my God, I even think it is terrible to help you remember those names, how did you mediate in it as if nothing happened?" ”

"Be bold and careful."

"What a shame."

Fisher ignored the words of Emhardt, who was full of disgust, and now that the wine had subsided, he had a rare thought about what the problems were in front of him.

The most important thing is to find a way to save Rafael from the stillbirth in her womb.

Secondly, in order to find and read all the completed manuals, there are two points to pay attention to here, one is to pay attention to the content of the prophecy of the end of the world, and the other is the question of how to read the complete manual.

Regarding the latter, he had to quickly intensify the reading of the Death Completion Manual, and then go to find the so-called "Supreme Treasure" to complete the reading of the Life Completion Manual.

As for the former, according to Hellaire, the prophecy of the end of the world has already begun, so the two different versions of the prophecy related to Rafael are:

"The Crimson Dragon Queen will rise first and burn everything about humanity in the flames of rage"

"The flame of the soul will be the first to be kindled, and everything in the world will be burned with the flames of war"

According to Yaren Niangkong, both prophecies are true, so there should be a war burning soon.

The war between the Dragon Court and the Puppet Court in the Southern Continent is already a foregone conclusion, but what about the Western Continent and the Northern Territory?

The prophecy in the next sentence is about the "mysterious son of the sea", that is, about jasmine.

Note that there is another version of the prophecy that says that "twisted life will make great waves and erase the rules by which living beings live."

He didn't quite understand what this so-called "twisted life" meant, so he suddenly seemed a little hesitant.

But he remembered that Yaren Niangkong had left something for him somewhere in Nari, and if both prophecies were true, she was most likely the one who could crack the prophecy of Tsubaki, then the clues she left in Nari should also be related to the prophecy of the end of the world.

To sum up, returning to Nari has become his inevitable choice.

Teacher Haytham died, and as his only disciple, Fisher had to go back; And he had promised to return to Nari to see Elizabeth again, and now he did not want to run away from it anymore; There are also clues left by the subhuman mother, which may contain key information that points to the direction of cracking the prophecy of the end of the world.

While thinking about the next step, Fisher also slowly walked to the door of Rafael's room, he raised his hand to push the door open, the fire candle inside was bright, Jasmine and Rafael were in the room, talking about something.

Seeing Fisher come in, Rafael and Jasmine looked up at him at the same time, and called,

"Fisher, you're back."

"Mr. Fisher"

Fisher blinked, and for a moment, the two men in front of him were as harmonious as the wives of the two Kadu sisters in Keken, but if you look closely, you can still see a little unnatural, obviously different.

"Ah, I'm back, what are you talking about?"

Rafael glanced at Jasmine, who was a little embarrassed next to him, and had to take the initiative to speak,

"She's tried calling out for that."

"It's Lord Ramastia!" It was Jasmine who picked up the words, she wagged her tail and looked at Fisher and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher, no matter how much I called Master Ramastia, there was no response, it seems to be completely out of the ocean, I don't know if it's because of some other factors, I can't help much."

"That's pretty much it. As for me, my mother's body is fine, but she is a little unconscious. According to the guards of the Wanhua Garden, there was a tsunami at that time, and she returned to save the reporter named Ingrid, but Ingrid had already died under the collapsed building, and she didn't run out, fortunately she just passed out and was not crushed by the building."

Rafael breathed a sigh of relief, on the one hand, he felt sorry for that Ingrid, and on the other hand, he was glad that his mother was okay,

"For the rest, although the loss of the Dragon Court seems acceptable in the face of victory, it will take some time to recover. What about you, what news did they bring? ”

Fisher gave a rough account of Haythal's death, and Rafael did not know much about Fisher's relationship with Halcell, but only roughly knew that it should be the same person who was important to Fisher; But Jasmine covered her mouth all of a sudden, and hurriedly said,

"Wizard Haytham is a good man, he was in good health before, and he went to Schwali to negotiate on Nari's behalf before we left Nari, how could it be so sudden? Could it be Elizabeth her?"

When it comes to "Elizabeth", although Rafael has only said "pretend not to know" before, he still inevitably looks at Fisher, obviously exactly like Jasmine thinks.

The words were not finished, but Fisher had already made a decision in advance,

"It's possible, but honestly, I'd rather Elizabeth lure me back with the news of my teacher's death. Either way, I'll have to go back to Nari and find out for myself. ”

Rafael and Jasmine glanced at each other, and they both saw the unease in each other's eyes, but then they thought that Fisher was now a myth, and even if Elizabeth was just a human being, what could they do to him.

"Well, there's no way around it, Mr. Fisher, be careful when you go back."

Jasmine said so, and Rafael also nodded, touched his lower abdomen and groaned for a moment, and then added uneasily,

"When are you going to leave?"

"Don't worry, it's not that there are five full days left tonight, I don't take a boat, with the help of slimes, I will soon be able to reach the Western Continent, I plan to go again the day after tomorrow, I'm not worried about this, but I don't have a clue now, how to save our children."

Jasmine pursed her lips, while Rafael smiled and shook her head, softly relieved,

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, we will have a way"

Fisher smiled helplessly, although he may not be as optimistic as Rafael, but he really didn't have a better way now.

"Okay, okay, you've had a busy day today, go take a shower and take a break, I'll wait here for you to come back and rest."

Just as Fisher nodded and was about to leave, Jasmine, who was twisting her fingers next to her, calculated the account stupidly, and then suddenly said,

"Wait, Mr. Fisher? Are you going to go the day after tomorrow? ”

"Ah, that's what I intended. It's five days away, but I still have a place I want to go before then, so."

That place refers to the address left by the Asian mother.

But looking at Jasmine, whose eyes were becoming more and more unwilling, Fisher couldn't help but ask,

"What's wrong, Jasmine, is there anything strange?"

Jasmine looked at Fisher, then at Rafael, and finally couldn't help but whisper,

"Nothing, nothing. It's just that I also want to give Mr. Fisher a massage. After taking a shower"

Fisher raised an eyebrow, and in the afterglow he saw Jasmine's slightly lingering fingers, as if he understood his hidden request.

But when she looked to the other side, Rafael, who was sitting behind the table, wagged her tail slightly, and she looked first at Jasmine and then at Fisher, and it was evident that she was going to eat him.

Emhart had already flown up to himself and headed outside, as if he hadn't heard or seen anything.

Fisher, who was standing in place, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitated for a moment, and then said,

"Why don't you get a massage in Rafael's room?"

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

Thank you very much for your support!
