163. Acid
"Whoa."
In the fog, Fisher seemed to have another dream, but this dream had no content, only an eternal peace and calm.
You may also wonder, shouldn't every good sleep feel like this? This shouldn't be called a dream.
But Fisher just felt that this process, which did not even have a single picture and only set aside a feeling, was like a dream, a concrete scene
He felt as if he were floating powerlessly in a peaceful ocean, lifted by the sea that had become the same temperature as his body temperature, and made him float in the depths of the water, facing the sky.
There was no image in the sky, no blue sky and white clouds, no dazzling sunlight, only darkness, as if the whole world was only the ocean he was in.
He seems to have come from the sea.
Faintly, he heard something singing again, whispering euphemistically in a tone he didn't understand, he couldn't understand.
He floated in the infinite sea, and over time, he seemed to feel that it was not the ocean that lifted him to float, but the whole ocean that he held up for the ocean to exist.
Until one moment, a pair of hands came out of nowhere into the ocean, and the hand found him floating in the ocean with unmistakable precision, and carefully picked him up from the sea.
Only then did he realize to his horror that he did not seem to be in human form, because he was actually "held" in the palm of his hand by that person like this.
As he departed, the whole ocean began to stir, jumping and dancing like boiling hot water in an iron pot, but soon it fell silent again, and the silence of the past returned, for he was still here.
At the same time, he seemed to hear what the woman who held him up said, a language that Fisher could not understand, but could understand what she meant.
He heard the woman speak to himself in a subdued language,
"Will one day you blame me like a child blames his mother?"
"Blame me for creating you without your consent and taking you into this dangerous world?"
Time seems to stand still at this point, and the dream collapses here.
In the next second, Fisher's consciousness broke free from the dream and returned to reality.
Fisher opened his eyes slowly, as if the two eyelids had been pressed against a thousand stones, and after struggling for so long, he opened half a slit, and looked at the scene before him with difficulty, and what caught his eyes was the cyan feathers that he had already covered all night, and now they were beating on his face, warm like a soft blanket.
He closed his eyes comfortably and rubbed the feathers in front of him, and then buried his whole face in them, and hugged the owner of the wings in his arms a little tighter.
Yes, these wings are none other than the phoenix wings of his wife Valentina.
But to say why Valentina is still allowed to bury his face in feathers since he is held in his arms, this is purely because Valentina's sleeping position is too casual, of course, as a gentle lady, even subconscious movements are not too uninhibited, but that is only limited to the limbs, as for the wings, it belongs to the part of the wild horse.
Take last night and this moment, now the big wings behind her are still surrounding him, it is not enough to hug her hands, the wings must also keep up, when he first came into contact, he was more sensitive to time and he focused on other more important things, so he almost didn't give him a shiver, but then he covered it with body temperature, and it was very comfortable to lie on it.
At this moment, Fisher was still feeling dizzy because of the bizarre dream, and it happened that Valentina had not woken up yet, so he simply lay in bed for a while, and it was estimated that it was not yet dawn outside.
To be honest, after entering the mythical level, his desire for sleep has actually become very small, not so much a physical desire for rest as a psychological thirst, so the meaning of dreams is particularly timeless.
He blinked, reminiscing about the afterglow of the empty dream as he stroked the feathers on Valentina's wings with his hand.
First pick up the feathers in reverse, then smooth them down, and then repeat the cycle.
"Boom!"
Until Fisher got tired of playing, Valentina opened her eyes angrily, then yawned, stretched, and hit his head lightly on his chest, as if complaining, as if she had been knocked unconscious, because as soon as she leaned on Fisher's shoulder, she closed her eyes again and dozed off,
"Whew!"
“.”
It's better not to make your wife rest, it's really a fault.
Fisher reluctantly hugged her tighter, no longer thinking about anything else, just savoring the years at this moment, but Valentina in her arms muttered in a daze,
"Fisher. I was just dreaming and was woken up by you."
It sounds like there's some grievance, like a child.
Valentina was reliable most of the time, because she was the phoenix, the leader of the plane tree, so even if there was still a lot to learn, she had to force herself to be reliable, and only at this time, when no one but Fisher knew about it, would people be reminded that she was still very young and immature.
Fisher stroked her long silver hair, which was scattered in pieces, and it was crumpled even more in his palms.
"Sorry, sweetheart."
Hmm, I like that. You're going to call me that every day."
"Okay."
Even if she was still asleep, Valentina was a little confused, so she completely buried her face in his arms, and the whole person changed from leaning on him to lying on him, and the wings behind her also changed direction to cover both of them,
"Why don't you ask me what I'm dreaming about?"
"What did you dream about?"
"Uh-huh. Great. Great. It's huge."
As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, more and more intermittent, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep again, and the unfinished words were more like some kind of spell, or some kind of ticket, a ticket to the unfinished dream,
"Colorful wings. Whale whew."
Is co-authoring a change to a more comfortable position and then sleeping?
Fisher was slightly stunned, but still gently reached out and stroked her smooth back, and pulled up the futon under her to cover her wings.
Then he glanced at the ceiling, narrowed his eyes again for a long time, and rested against her head.
"Morning, Phoenix-sama!"
"Morning, Miss Valentina!"
"Good morning, everyone."
Because of last night's incident, after Valentina arranged the task, the plane trees at this moment entered a state of combat readiness, and all of them were running at high speed.
Valentina and Fisher didn't stay in bed long before they got up and went about their respective tasks, Fisher had to go into the gap with Ashley to try the new ideas she had inspired last night, and Valentina had to plan the attack on Saint-Nari to make sure nothing went wrong.
Along the way, even the busiest snow fox clerks would stop and salute Valentina when they saw her so radiant at the moment, so the sound of calling each other was endless.
This is actually a good phenomenon, after all, under the background of the catastrophe like yesterday, some people up and down the plane tree can't help but be nervous, even if they have already arranged their respective tasks, it is still inevitable to guess. But after seeing that the phoenix, as the leader, was so energetic, they would also be infected, and even their waists would stand up a little when they greeted them.
Valentina flapped her wings and rushed to Arajina's laboratory under the plane tree, ready to take stock of the cardinals who had gone to battle this time.
The value of a slime to transfer a living creature is much higher than that of a dead thing, so it would definitely be wise to bring more cardinals to St. Nari on the whole, not to mention that the cardinal developed by Aragina yesterday was also successfully tested, and it is best to produce more cardinals as quickly as possible.
By the time she reached the bottom, the other Sardinians had already carried tools to carry cardinal parts, which was a phenomenon of speeding up the production of cardinals.
Aragina was sitting at the door of the laboratory, looking at the drawings in her hand and eating breakfast, when she heard the sound of flapping her wings, she looked up and saw Valentina.
"Arajina!"
At first glance, Aragina saw Valentina's face that seemed to be a highlight at this moment, although the effect of sex is certainly not so exaggerated, and it is more effective than the beauty products that are hard to find in San Nari, but what does that sentence say?
The mood is relaxed, the pressure is released, and this kind of thing can be revealed on the face.
Obviously, the little phoenix who has been intimate with her husband after a long absence is still in a very good mood, and this kind of emotion that blooms under pressure is the best beauty product.
On the contrary, Valentina also saw the expression on Aragina's face at first glance.
Although as always, Aragina is still as handsome as Snow Boy, but the pressure that has accumulated silently in her heart has clues on her face, especially the little blue and black under her plain eyes, which seems to show Valentina that she didn't rest well last night.
“.”
Except for the initial greeting, the two were silent for a moment at the same time.
It was Aragina who reacted, and this was the only way to let Valentina's greeting fall to the ground,
"Miss Valentina, you're here."
"Ah, that."
Valentina glanced at the blueprint in her hand, and then at the breakfast she was holding, and on the table next to her was a cake from the North that had already been half eaten, and now Aragina was holding a fruit that was also a specialty of the North, called sweet and sour colored wax, sweet and sour appetizing.
"Were you still busy with the cardinal's business last night?"
"Well, I used the machine to get the parts in advance, so that I could assemble them as quickly as possible today. If you give another day, with the help of machine tools and the core accumulated before, you can make at least ten new machines that can be used. ”
"Ahh
Listen, Valentina herself is a little embarrassed.
It sounded as if she had been comfortable with Fisher last night, but left Aragina working outside
Although she and Arajina are not close, and there is even a little bit of faint hostility from rivals in love, but even without this relationship, the employees under your hands are still fighting at night, and you, as a leader, are sleeping with your husband, and you can't get over it on your conscience, right?
In fact, in fact, they didn't rest for long last night, at most a few hours, and they got up early this morning to get busy, but Valentina is still young and has a high moral bottom line, so she will still feel very guilty.
Of course, she didn't show it too much, because looking at her red face, Arajina couldn't eat breakfast.
As if the fruit couldn't fill her stomach, her stomach was still hungry, and she could only taste sour, not sweet at all.
So this time, the two fell silent again.
"Lord Phoenix, are you here to talk to the captain about the cardinal?"
At this time, Isabel, who was passing by with parts, noticed the silent two, and walked over with a smile, slicing through the death-making atmosphere like lightning, and asked.
"Ah yes, that's right, after all, it's going to be soon."
Valentina smiled and nodded, and Aragina's stiff and sculpture-like body thawed a little, and she lifted the fruit in her hand again, but she couldn't eat it, as if the fruit that had been delicious just now was sour and sick.
"Speaking of which, Lord Phoenix, I have something I want to ask you for." Isabel nodded, and the expression on her face was a little hesitant, "I know that there are places to go to Saint-Nari in the future, and the teleportation costs of slimes are very expensive, so you must make the best use of them. But, can you let me go with you too? ”
"You?"
"No, Isabel, you're in danger."
Valentina thought about it, and Aragina directly expressed her refusal, Isabel pursed her lips but still didn't want to give up,
"However, this time it is about my own sister, and even if it is as Mr. Fisher said, I still care about it. Captain, Lord Phoenix, don't worry, I won't hold back, I will resolutely complete the task. And if I'm here, I might be able to persuade my sister."
At the end, Isabel laughed a little mockingly.
yes, persuade Elizabeth?
This sentence made Isabel herself laugh, and if Elizabeth really could listen to persuasion, she would not be antagonistic to Teacher Fisher now.
Even Teacher Fisher couldn't convince her, let alone herself.
However, she still wanted to give it a try, try to stand in front of her sister in person, and tell her true feelings in her heart.
She just didn't want to hide anymore
Valentina doesn't know Elizabeth very well, and Aragina is the same, she can only analyze it with simple pros and cons, but looking at Isabel with firm eyes at the moment, Valentina still couldn't help but sigh,
"You don't understand, Isabel, we're going for war this time. It's not a dinner party, it's a bloodshed. You are here not only for your safety, but also to avoid putting you in a dilemma. What if we need you to do something to your sister when it's time to do it? You ask yourself, can you do it? ”
"Me"
"Even if you could, you did it decisively, but what about after that? You have to bear the stigma of betraying your loved ones, betraying Godlin, betraying your country, can you accept that? ”
“.”
Valentina's expression became more and more helpless, because even though she said this, Isabel's expression in front of her was still very determined, completely unmoved.
Then go ahead, that's your sister after all, and whether you succeed or fail, this may be your last chance. What do you think, Miss Aragina? ”
In the end, Valentina was relieved, and where else could Aragina say, she just looked at Isabel with worried eyes, not knowing whether such a decision was good or bad.
Loved ones meet at such a time
Unlike her hatred for her mother at the beginning, she could perceive that Isabel actually still had feelings for Elizabeth, and it was still unknown whether this kind of feelings would be bad.
"Thank you, thank you Sister Valentina! Captain, just let me go, don't worry, I won't make a mess. I'll try to persuade my sister to turn back, and if there's really no way, I'll be on the side of justice. ”
"Justice."
Aragina smiled helplessly, then shook her head, but did not object again.
Valentina nodded her chin, glanced up and down at Isabel in front of her, and suddenly asked,
"Wait a minute, Isabel you're this year. How old are you? ”
"Am I this year? Well, it's almost twenty-five. ”
Well, she was still in college when she left St. Nari, about twenty years old, and now four and a half years have passed and she is twenty-five years old, and even Aragina is thirty-one.
Valentina, on the other hand, was speechless, and froze in place with her mouth open.
"You just called me sister?"
"Ah, I'm sorry. Phoenix-sama, just think. You're very reliable and what you say makes sense, that's why you're right."
"If you really want to count it, I'm only eighteen years old this year, so I should call you sister."
Valentina smiled wryly, and then said.
Aragina knew about it, because she had seen Valentina in the past and was human, but Isabel didn't know it at all, she covered her mouth and looked at the phoenix, which was much taller than herself and became extremely graceful like a goddess of beauty, with a look of disbelief.
"Really, Miss Valentina, you. Only eighteen years old? Yes? ”
“.”
Twenty-five-year-old Isabel next to her was amazed, but Alagina, who was already over thirty years old, was even more speechless.
Could it be that she is too old to be attractive to Fisher?
She thought so sullenly, subconsciously raised the fruit she was holding in her hand and took a bite, but the next second her face was wrinkled and coughed, and she spit out the flesh that had just rolled around her tongue.
"Ahem, ahem!"
"Captain, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine."
Aragina clutched her chest, coughing in response.
It's just that this fruit is a little sour, that's all, nothing else!
Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
Thank you very much for your support!
