Fisher turned his head and glanced at the face of the man with feathers all over his eyes, and then glanced at Alagina. He called Alagina Phoenix. Was it because Alagina was a descendant of the Phoenix species or because she had ice on her body?
Prince sword?
Emhard took a look at Alagina, and then whispered in Fisher's ear,
"It shouldn't be, Fisher. The Phoenix Son holding the Ice Prince Sword is not only a male phoenix, but also the one with the most violent temper among the three Phoenix Sons. How could he have children with humans? And even if he has children, according to
Tracing the maternal origin, the Phoenix blood in her body has almost been diluted."
"Is it possible that it's an atavism?"
Fisher suddenly remembered a research he had done before. At that time, a wealthy businessman in Saint-Negli suddenly found Fisher and said that his daughter suddenly turned into a witch one day, but it did not conform to the maternal inheritance.
According to the rules, the girl's mother is not a witch but an ordinary human being.
He went to the wealthy businessman's house to investigate and found that the girl's magic circuit was indeed a witch's circuit and not a human's. But the problem was that the girl was their biological daughter who had been raised since she was a child. There was absolutely no possibility of being wrong. If
Unless one day she showed the characteristics of a witch and turned the stone statues at home into countless jumping frogs, the old father might not realize that his daughter was different.
After cautiously searching for their family's history, Fisher discovered that their family had emigrated from Kadu a long time ago, that is, there was once a witch among the family members of the wealthy businessman's ancestor.
The reproductive laws of demihumans like witches are very interesting, because all witch demihumans are female, they must marry other races, and the probability of reproduction is no different from that of humans, but what is interesting is that among the children they give birth to
There can only be one witch.
If a human and a witch marry, no matter how many children they want, there will only be one witch child, and it will most likely be the first child. All the other children will only be of the father's race and will not show the characteristics of the witch.
Fisher's previous research believed that the witch part of the blood of children of non-witch races was diluted, that is, they did not inherit the characteristics of witches at all.
But the wealthy businessman gave counter-evidence, because his ancestor was a non-witch child born to a witch, but the blood belonging to the witch never disappeared and was passed on forever, until it bloomed in her daughter and destroyed her.
Became a real witch
Fisher calls this symptom "atavism", but the specific case is currently only that of the witch girl, and he has never seen other atavism phenomena.
But if Alagina has the atavism of the Phoenix species, she should have the characteristics of the Phoenix species when she was born, such as feathers and wings, but Alagina's body is undoubtedly a complete human being
Sure enough, after hearing Fisher's question, Emhardt didn't think Alagina was an atavism.
"I don't know what atavism you are talking about, but judging from the literal meaning, if her ancestor was a Phoenix species, her noble bloodline would definitely not be diluted to this extent. I guess that the feathered man
He must have felt the Ice Prince Sword she carried with her and mistook her for the Phoenix Prince."
Alagina frowned after hearing this. She felt that the item that Ice Prince Sword really wanted was the precious treasure that the feathered man said.
Although the man in the black cloak had completely lost his eyesight and vision, his expression was very clear. He looked at Alagina in front of him with emotion and said in a trembling voice,
"My master, we have been waiting here for a long time, following your orders, not afraid of time and curses, just waiting for your return. Please also take away the treasures and free us from the curse of suffering."
At this time, Alagina discovered that he was reaching out and scratching the inside of her cloak very hard. It seemed that the growth of those feathers was painful and itchy, making it very unbearable for him, but as long as he touched it gently with his hand,
The feathers were like blades stuck in the flesh, causing blood to ooze out from where the feathers grew.
And he and others have endured such torture for countless years in order to abide by this mission. He is very loyal to the [Phoenix Species] he calls it, and is willing to endure such suffering without any complaints. He only hopes that his master will go well.
Take away the items entrusted to them.
Thinking of this, Alagina finally spoke,
"Where is the thing?"
"Here! Dear Master, please follow me! All your most loyal servants are there to guard that item. But they have been so severely eroded by the curse that they can no longer move their bodies to salute you.
Please forgive me."
He felt quite guilty and kowtowed to Alagina on behalf of his companion, then stood up and walked towards the interior of the island, indicating that the object was in that direction.
Alagina glanced at Pahz next to her, and with great experience, she flicked a flashing light mark from her pocket. If anything happened to them, they could use this thing to send a signal to the Iceberg Queen.
Then walking towards the interior of the island, Fisher and his party saw a hollow cave connecting the beach and the island. The interior was twists and turns, but the scenery inside was very scary. As soon as they entered, everyone was startled.
On both sides of the cave, countless humans wearing ancient northern clothes were prostrate in an orderly manner. Each of their bodies seemed to be swallowed up by feathers, which was even worse than that of the person hidden under the cloak just now.
Seriously, their seven orifices were completely occupied by feathers, and they remained motionless in the most pious kowtow posture, facing the direction of the interior of the island.
"They persisted in the master's mission until the last moment. We took turns guarding the item. Now I am the only one left. I don't dare to think about what will happen if you don't come again."
The feathered man in a black cloak covered his face sadly, and gray-white feathers fell from his face, exactly like the feathers Fisher and the others saw in the hull just now.
Fisher couldn't understand their words, so Emhardt translated for him at any time, but it was always slower than others. He felt that it was necessary to learn the language of the north.
After listening to his words, combined with what he saw on the boat just now, Fisher had a rough guess about the situation here.
It seems that in the ancient Northern Territory, a Phoenix once gave this group of humans a very important item, asking them to take this treasure and leave the Northern Territory to find a place to hide it. Before the arrival of the Phoenix, they were responsible for guarding this item.
A treasure.
But this treasure possesses a very strong curse, causing these humans to contract the strange disease of growing feathers. They have been waiting for the Phoenix to take away this treasure and break their curse.
"We are here, Master"
They gradually walked to the end of the cave along countless creeping figures wearing sailor uniforms, captain uniforms, and first mate uniforms. Outside the cave was a lush virgin forest. Looking along his fingers, Fisher saw that the cave was a road.
The creek, and at this moment, the creek has been completely covered by ice.
And in the center of the extreme ice, a blue scroll made of something like ice blocks lay horizontally in it. The flickering light was like the divine light of a phoenix. Just one glance made people feel that it was not an extraordinary thing.
"Oh my god, that's a scroll made of Phoenix's perfect ice."
Emhard looked at the object, one of his eyes brightened, and he spoke into Fisher's ear.
"Zhen Bing. Are you talking about Zhen Bing in the Legend of the North?"
"That's right! It's that thing. I've only seen it in classics. Legend has it that this thing is naturally cold and transparent like jade. It is a symbol of the phoenix and can communicate with the spirit world. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."
Zhenbing is not ice, but a mineral that grows from the branches of frosty sycamore trees in northern legends. It is a unique product of the Phoenix species.
I still remember that I mentioned before that the Phoenix species are a race that is very sensitive to fate. They can see the fuzzy scene of the future through the wind and snow in the sky, and therefore predict the invasion of the Chaos species and make sufficient preparations in advance.
The Chaos Seeds were severely defeated.
The source of their ability is Zhen Bing. According to legend, the Phoenix species will place their offspring in front of a mirror made of Zhen Bing, allowing their hazy eyes to gaze at Zhen Bing's light, giving them the ability to gaze at their destiny.
, and it is precisely because of this that they are so sensitive to fate.
"Wait, no, Master!"
At this moment, the face of the man in black robe waiting nearby suddenly changed. He suddenly felt something, looked at Alagina in a panic, and said,
"Quick! Quick, master, take this treasure away. I felt the breath of your compatriot's sword blade in the other direction of the island. It must be the violent Ice Prince. He landed on the island in person. There is absolutely no possibility of anyone else.
People! The power of Zhenbing has enveloped this island. Only you and your compatriots who have those three swords can see this island. Quick, take the treasure and leave, I will delay his steps!"
Hearing the words of the panicked man, Fisher and the others had extremely strange expressions on their faces. Fisher even secretly glanced at Alagina, who also looked confused.
From what this guy means, it seems that he is not a servant serving the Ice Prince, but is also a sworn enemy of the Phoenix Prince who owns the Ice Prince Sword?
But he seemed to have been tortured by a long-term curse and was a little confused. Not only was he blind, he could only roughly judge that a sword had landed ashore, but he could not judge which sword landed ashore, so he misidentified Alagina.
The people on your master's stall are so smart that they are speechless. They can misunderstand everyone.
But this also explains why this island has not been recorded on the chart before. It turns out that the power of Zhen Bing has enveloped the entire island, making it invisible to those who are not wearing the three phoenix relics.
"Wait, someone is approaching."
Just when Alagina was about to say something to explain, Fisher's draconic premonition suddenly activated, and his hair stood up slightly, sensing that something dangerous was approaching.
"Ah, someone has already arrived first? Babzak, your situation has slowed us down."
Sure enough, the next moment, a rather bold female voice suddenly came from far away. Although the voice could be recognized instantly from a great distance, the voice was very loud and clear.
Fisher frowned, and a black sword hilt fell into his hand. When he looked into the distance, he saw a scantily clad woman slowly walking out of the dense jungle.
The woman has long, fluffy golden hair, with many parts draped over her shoulders, like a lion's mane, but she is a real woman, with a bronze-colored skin as a whole.
Very cool.
On the fluffy golden hair, two small round ears like waffles popped out, shaking from time to time. The clear muscles on his body were strong and powerful, hiding huge explosive power.
She carried a long alloy straight knife on her back, and two strange-looking muskets on her waist, which seemed to be a pair of matching relics.
Just when Fisher was looking at her, she quickly noticed Fisher and his group standing in front of the ice. She looked stunned for a moment and then laughed, revealing an obvious tiger tooth in her mouth.
Behind her stood a man wearing dark red Shivali clothes but with a gloomy expression. He stood very straight, but his temperament was quite strange and his face was a little pale.
After hearing the woman's words, he curled his lips disdainfully and said,
"It will take a long time to accurately locate the island based on clues. As for them, we can only say that they are lucky ghosts who happen to have the Phoenix relics."
"Don't be so harsh. If you can't do it, you can't do it. You must be sincere when you admit your mistakes, and you must stand at attention when you are beaten."
The tall woman with bronze skin laughed boldly and let out a loud voice like a lion's roar. The fangs in her mouth were very long, not just tiger fangs.
Fisher quickly recognized that it was an adult female [Leon Race], a dangerous sub-race unique to the Southern Continent. It is distributed entirely on the west coast grasslands of the Southern Continent. It is famous for its huge size and strong aggression.
famous.
As a whole, the power of females of the leonine race completely overwhelms the males. In the tribe, the male leonine race is an important strategic resource for reproduction. They are often robbed, kidnapped, and imprisoned by the female leonine race that invades the tribe to give birth to lion cubs. Moreover, the female leonine race
There are three seasons in a year that are the breeding season. During the breeding season, the desire to attack is strongest.
The lion-man's pupils glanced around Fisher and the others, then licked his lips and shouted to Fisher and the others,
"Hey, over there, let's talk about it. Could you please ask if you want the scroll in the ice cube? My boss needs that thing very much. If you give it to us, there will be a big reward~"
