12. Not awake
"Please inform Princess Isabel that Mr. Fisher wants to speak with her."
It wasn't long before Aragina seemed to pass through the present tumult of St. Nari and came somewhere; It is said that this place should be the Golden Palace, which was half collapsed due to the war.
"Yes."
It was the Nari language that came, and it was quite strong, so it shouldn't be delayed too long.
In the spirit world at this moment, Fisher held the walkie-talkie with his back to the glowing screen behind him, and could only rely on the dialogue mixed with the "rustling" sound in the walkie-talkie to guess what the situation was in Nari at this moment.
Aragina seemed to be talking to the remaining soldiers who kept order and helped Isabelle, and Fisher knew that Narri had a lot of mess for Isabel to deal with when he left, and that it might not come so soon, but the wait was still a little longer than Fisher thought.
He tapped his fingers on the iron table next to him, as if he was counting the time and remembering his fast and slow heartbeat.
It wasn't until a long time had passed that Fisher heard Aragina walk on her way.
Then came Isabel's voice,
"Captain Arajina! I'm coming. I'm sorry, but there are a lot of things to worry about, and the soldiers didn't find me for a while, so you have to wait for a long time. ”
At this moment, Isabel's voice sounded a little tired, but when she greeted Arajina, she still brought unrestrained vitality, and Arajina certainly didn't care, or she was a little uninterested in coming here.
"It's okay, give."
"Is this Mr. Fisher's walkie-talkie? Is it still open? Mr. Fisher? ”
"I'm here."
"Ah, Mr. Fisher, I'll take you in first, Captain, too."
"You go with the walkie-talkie, Fisher will talk to you first. I won't go in."
"Ah, I see. Thank you, Captain. ”
Isabel was slightly stunned, but quickly pinched the walkie-talkie and moved in a direction that Fisher couldn't discern. Changing Isabel to a walkie-talkie, Fisher felt that she was walking much slower than Aragina, but seemed to be getting closer and closer to where the call should be.
In fact, Fisher's meaning is so obvious, maybe Isabel and Aragina both know who the person Fisher wants to talk to at this moment is.
"Mr. Fisher, it's great that you're okay. The captain said that the teacher is in the spirit world now, so it must be far away from here, right? I don't quite understand that."
While walking, Isabel couldn't help but lower her head and look at the walkie-talkie in her arms,
"yes, far away. What about Nari, is everything okay over there? ”
"Well, how can I say it, I can only say that it's not that bad, sister."
Isabel obviously wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth before she could finish a salutation, which made Fisher ask,
"What's wrong?"
Isabel shook her head and said with a wry smile,
"Yes."
"Teacher Fisher wants to talk to her sister, right?"
"Hmm."
“.”
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
Fisher clearly sensed that Isabel had not spoken again, but only footsteps could be heard on the other side of the walkie-talkie.
"Here we are, Mr. Fisher"
"Okay."
Then, the footsteps gradually stopped, as if they had stopped somewhere, and did not move again for a long time.
Fisher's heart beat faster and faster, and his body leaning against the iron table behind him also stood up.
He began to subconsciously pace along the edges and corners of the screen, but his eyes and ears were focused on the walkie-talkie in his hand, which made a faint sound from time to time, perhaps he was planning rhetoric, or he wanted to apologize to her, or perhaps.
Perhaps, he didn't know what to say, just eagerly and nervously awaited the man's voice.
But after all, he only has a cardinal walkie-talkie in his hand, and the distance between them at the moment also spans the spiritual world, the gap and reality, thinking that it should be far, far away
“.”
However, while waiting like this, there was a sudden silence on the other side of the intercom.
Fisher, who was still thinking, seemed to realize that something was wrong, and listened quietly to the voice coming from the walkie-talkie.
"Huh"
It seemed that he heard a little Isabel rubbing his sleeve, but there was no footsteps, as if it were. She stood there and saw something hesitant.
"Isabel?"
After a moment of silence, Fisher's voice rang out of the walkie-talkie like a bell, which suddenly startled Isabelle, and even her voice trembled,
"Huh!? Fee. Mr. Fisher. I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher, but she hasn't woken up yet. How about not talking to you for a while, or later, when she wakes up, I'll go to Captain Aragina as soon as I wake up?" ”
“.”
Fisher squeezed the walkie-talkie in his hand, and the pacing movement suddenly stopped in place.
He blinked, stared at the walkie-talkie in his hand, and after a moment of silence he whispered,
"Okay."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher."
Isabel's voice sounded a little low, but it wasn't visible or inaudible on the surface.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm going to leave here after that, and I may not be able to receive real-life messages at any time, just tell her that I called. It's really not good, it's okay to wait until I get back."
"Well, when my sister wakes up, I'll tell her about it after all. And now her eyes too. She'll always be here in the Golden Palace. ”
"Okay, take care of your sister, let her rest well, and wait for me to come back. I'll come to see her when I come back, and I'll heal her eyes, don't worry."
"Really? Thank you, Mr. Fisher! ”
"It's okay, give this walkie-talkie back to Alajina, I'll talk to him a few more things and I'll set off again."
"By the way, old Fisher."
"Buzz."
The walkie-talkie suddenly quivered, and Isabel got stuck in her mouth, she did not know the cardinal's creation, but she knew from the walkie-talkie, which no longer made any sound, that Mr. Fisher had hung up the walkie-talkie.
She squeezed the walkie-talkie in her hand, and in her slightly open mouth, the unfinished word "teacher" also turned into nothingness and flowed out of her mouth.
At this moment, she was standing in the backyard of the Golden Palace, which had not yet completely collapsed.
The peaceful manor, which had been filled with birds and flowers, was now in ruins from the previous fighting, with a few dilapidated houses that could barely accommodate people, and the vestibule had been reduced to ruins by Rafael's dragon lance.
In contrast, the civilian neighbourhood of St. Nari was completely undevastated and did not suffer a huge loss of life.
Isabel's golden eyes twitched slightly, and she slowly raised her head to see the dim dilapidated house in front of her, the walls of which were cracked to reveal the bedroom in it.
In the dimly lit room, where one wondered why the candles weren't lit, the last rays of the sun were seen by Isabelle's blonde figure lying on her side on top of the bed with her back to Isabel and a thick bandage looming over her head.
At this moment, in front of the dilapidated house, several loyal guards were standing at the door, one of whom was the same soldier who had just delivered the message for Isabel that Aragina had arrived.
And they also held a flag in their hands, which said,
"Don't answer"
Isabel, who had just arrived with the phone, was a little hesitant when she saw the flag, and she knew that her sister had woken up, so she lay alone on the bed in the dilapidated room.
It must have been not long since she woke up, because Isabel could still faintly see the ink on the flag.
Isabel's expression was complicated, she pinched the walkie-talkie in her hand, and said into the room,
"Sister, he's already hanging."
“.”
It was still quiet inside, and Isabel looked at the darkness and whispered,
"Before, sister, you begged for death so much, and you were sucked into the rift by that law, don't say I'm just a human being, just look at the rift and the legs are weak, and the rest of the stronger ones don't dare to approach, for fear of being swallowed by that thing. Mr. Fisher rushed in alone to get you back, and he almost stayed there
"Mr. Fisher doesn't hate you, he knows what he's doing wrong, so he hates himself."
The room was still quiet, and Isabel couldn't help but purse her lips slightly when she saw this.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and then opened her mouth again,
"I'm leaving, sister, you have a good rest"
With that, she prepared to turn and leave.
It was only because her eyes could not see through the darkness that when the setting sun set down, only Elizabeth knew what was going on in the room.
Therefore, Isabel could not see that Isabel was lying on her side on the bed in the dilapidated room, and now she struggled to get up, only to reveal the large dried blood stains on her thickly bandaged bandage.
Elizabeth had no eyes, so she couldn't see the direction Isabel was leaving, so she could only listen intently.
It's just that after listening for a long time, it is inevitable to hear your own voice.
Elizabeth heard herself say,
"I know, it's just that I hate myself too." (End of chapter)
