"...Well, Dad, I'm so sleepy. Call me later so you can go to school in time..."
"..."
Asuka Karasawa, who was fascinated by the lake, turned over and wanted to go back to sleep, but after just a second, she suddenly realized something, her mind immediately became much clearer, she suddenly sat up and looked at herself
Next to her, squatting was the helpless-looking whaleman Gelsemium. She was so frightened that she took a step back and said,
"Ah! Sorry...I fell asleep, Mr. Gelsemium."
"It doesn't matter. Here, eat this. You may need it later. We have arrived at the Tree Continent, but it's not dawn yet. It doesn't matter if you rest for a while."
"oh oh."
Asuka Karasawa took the language gel handed over by Gelsemium and inhaled the transparent gel into her belly under his guidance. As her head gradually formed crystal lines, her language could
Being understood by others, I can also understand the words of other races.
In fact, just like the brain monster, as long as one person present eats it, it can ensure smooth communication among the entire team. However, in order to avoid someone being left alone or other special accidents, Heller has prepared this for everyone.
Anyway, Michael the Archangel probably doesn’t lack these things.
Asuka Karasawa felt as if she had swallowed a bunch of mints, her chest and brain were so cold that she took a few breaths of hot air to calm down.
After Gelsemium gave her something, she went to the other side. At this moment, Asuka Karasawa finally had the opportunity to look around. They seemed to have landed in a dense primitive jungle. The big trees next to them were thick and tall.
, easily reaching a height of 20 to 30 meters. Through the gaps between the lush green leaves, Asuka Karasawa could see the dim light outside, which was still before dawn, and the huge World Tree that was changing from translucent to golden.
This extremely impactful picture instantly pulled Karasawa Asuka completely out of her ordinary life of the past seventeen years. It was not until she landed on the earth that the difference between the two worlds was fully revealed.
She sat there blankly and wiped her eyes, then sat up from the ground. In this quiet and peaceful jungle, Mikhail was sitting on the ground studying the map of the Tree Continent, roughly confirming where they were now.
position, while Heller was nowhere to be found. In comparison, Mikhail seemed more like the leader of this "birthday" team.
"Mr. Mikhail, good morning."
"Well, good morning."
Mikhail was boiling water in the cup he brought and replied to her without raising his head. In the distance, Gelsemium was bending down by the river and looking at the direction of the river, making sure that the river could lead to the ocean.
After that, he took out the envelope from his arms and put it into the water.
"Mr. Gelsemium, are you sending a message to your family... Can it go back automatically if it is thrown into water like this? How can it be done?"
Asuka Karasawa squatted by the river and watched as the envelope that sank into the water not only was not crumpled by the current, but instead emitted a faint blue fluorescence, and was then carried forward by the river.
"I added some unique marks of our species of whales on it. We species of whales can hear many sounds that other creatures cannot hear, so we can even communicate with most non-intelligent creatures in the ocean."
Gelsemium clapped her hands and stood up, smiling and explaining to Karasawa Asuka,
"A long time ago, my ancestors trained these creatures to make our lives very convenient. For example, I often train a creature called Haiqing Crab as a mount. It is a very large creature.
A friendly crab. If I have a chance later, I can give you one, it will be very cool to ride on!"
"..."
Asuka Karasawa's expression was a little forced. Even for her, a person from another world, riding a very big crab as a mount was a bit too strange. I'm afraid only a guy with a brilliant mind like Mr. Gelsemium could do it.
You might like this kind of thing.
She smiled, shook her head and declined,
"This is... By the way, Mr. Gelsemium, where is Mr. Fisher? Why didn't I see him?"
"Hey, my wife doesn't like those crabs either, but I think... forget it, let's not talk about it. As for Fisher, he seems to be alone over there, and he doesn't know what he is doing. He just said that there are some things.
I'm just busy, go and have a look."
"Hey, okay."
Asuka Karasawa stood up and walked slowly in the direction Gelsemium pointed. Finally, she saw half of Fisher's body that was hidden deeply in a corner under the shade of a big tree. Of course, the limbs she saw were
Fisher, whose magic circuit was extremely obvious, seemed to be carving something... on a leaf?
As Asuka Karasawa looked at it, she saw Fisher's carving knife delicately and accurately falling on every inch of the thin and fragile leaves, leaving a streak that was not bright but emitted strange fluctuations.
"Winter...winter...winter..."
"Is something wrong?"
For some reason, Asuka Karasawa's ears seemed to hear the crisp sound of wooden fish that her father often knocked in Senjuji Temple, her home. But the next second, she was immediately interrupted by Fisher's words in front of her, and she quickly stood up.
Come on, Fisher in front of him has stopped engraving magic and deliberately blocked the leaves with his broad palm.
Asuka Karasawa read the cover-up in his body language, and suddenly lost her sense of proportion. She felt that Fisher was offended by her gaze without saying hello in advance, so she quickly apologized.
"Sorry... I just saw Mr. Fisher's... soul that lit up?"
Looking at her cautious look, Fisher also realized that maybe his cover-up just now was a bit harsh and inhumane, so he put the leaf in his pocket, looked at the magic circuit on his arm that was extinguished little by little, and nodded.
road,
"Yes, it's on you too. You saw it that night."
"Well, did Mr. Fisher say that night... There is no deviation between my soul and the humans in this world, but why does Mr. Fisher's magic circuit look so strange?"
"..."
Fisher did not expect that she would notice this deviation. After all, she should be regarded as a layman who knew nothing about this aspect. He did not expect that she would have such delicate observation skills. After hesitating for a moment, Fisher did not do much.
Explain, he simply said,
"I'm a little different from other humans, otherwise I wouldn't be that much stronger than them. But the magic circuits of humans except me are the same as yours, and the magic circuits of each race are different.
This symbolizes the difference in their souls."
"That's it..."
Asuka Karasawa was obviously still confused, but Fisher had no intention of saying more.
It wasn't that he was too stingy with knowledge, otherwise he wouldn't have generously taught Rafael and Jasmine magic before. What he was really worried about was a problem with the transferred people.
Raving.
He had known before that the transferred people had been bewitched by nonsense words from outside the world, and thus obtained the taboo knowledge recorded in the completion manual. He was not sure of the specific process by which these nonsense words targeted the transferred persons, but his intuition told him that
He is definitely not as simple as the auditory hallucinations that appeared in his ears when he lost control after completing the soul manual. It was the result of his reading of the forbidden knowledge that led to his reduced sanity, not the babble itself that gave him the forbidden knowledge...
Before he figured out the reason for this matter, he actually planned to keep a polite distance from Karasawa Asuka. After all, the fact of fate was too mysterious and there was room for explanation no matter what.
From a positive point of view, it is possible that his appearance brought about magic that did not exist in this era, thus giving birth to the "Magic Minister" and forming a closed time loop; from a negative point of view, is this another opportunity?
, is an opportunity for you to correct the many disasters that have caused future generations.
In short, neither Renee nor herself knew very much about this mysterious and mysterious rule of fate. At least at the moment, the less things to do, the better.
Asuka Karasawa had no way of knowing what he was thinking at the moment. The immature young girl was still struggling with whether her rash action was offensive. The natural sensitivity of women made her feel Fisher's extremely weak trace of alienation, but she couldn't help it.
Knowing its specific origin, of course there is nothing that can be said to alleviate this feeling.
She glanced at Fisher secretly. The sound of wooden fish that just sounded in her ears was like the hallucination that sounded in her ears when her heartbeat accelerated. And just when she was about to say something, there was a sudden sound from the tree behind her.
made a very comfortable sound,
"Ah, I have to say that the air in the Tree Continent is really fresh. The sun on the ground is also much prettier than in the Sanctuary. Not bad."
"Why?"
When Asuka Karasawa heard the words, she looked up and saw the barefoot Heller slowly floating down with her hands behind her back. It turned out that Heller had been staying up there just now. No wonder Asuka Karasawa never saw her.
Fisher also stood up, glanced at Heller, and said,
"You angels don't need to breathe, can you still appreciate how fresh the air is?"
"Of course... or in other words, only angels like me who love life and don't focus on forging can. Other angels are too attracted by the rules of creation. Although seekers like them also have a little private interest, such as
Michael the angel, but this is not enough. You have to be like me and enjoy life and everything wholeheartedly."
"...So, we can set off?"
"Of course you can, but you still need some preparations, such as water sources. Little girl, can you help me get some water? Just the water from the river will be fine. Don't worry, the water here is very clean."
If Heller asked Fisher to fuck him, he would never move, but unfortunately, Asuka Karasawa looked like "no problem", patted her chest and took the four buckets handed over by Heller.
Dian ran to the river to get water, looking hardworking and uncomplaining, while Fisher also took a look at the surrounding jungle and asked,
"From here to the World Tree, you should pass through many elven feudal countries. I don't believe that you can pass through these countries casually... After all, it sounds like the 'etiquette' that the elves follow as you mentioned, they should hate it.
A person who obeys the rules."
"Well, that's right, so the elves and I probably don't get along. And I can't take action casually along the way. I represent the Sanctuary, and taking action in the Tree Continent will have serious consequences, so I can only rely on you guys along the way.
People who moved in groups showed their special abilities."
"hehe."
Working with an angel like Heller is definitely not a blessing, at least that's what Fisher thinks. Any operation of Heller has no other effect besides bringing fun and raising blood pressure.
, giving him a great headache.
Just like now, she was squatting by the river and watching the fish swimming inside. She would poke the fish's tail playfully with her hand, and then force it to the door of the nest of other predators, and then wait for the hunter.
When the eater thought food was delivered to his door, Heller picked up the innocent little fish and pulled out the larger predator fish and dragged it to the shore.
"In my opinion, you just want to enjoy this trip more purely without taking action. You are here for vacation."
Fisher sighed and was pessimistic about this trip. Heller heard his sigh and immediately turned to look at him with a smile and said,
"You guessed it right, but it's a pity that there is no reward... But I am not completely idle. We are going to Chun's palace to see him now, and he will inform the Elf King of our arrival, so that we will have customs clearance documents
Well, there is a high probability that an elf messenger will come to pick us up."
She lifted up the predator that had been dragged ashore, and couldn't help laughing as she watched it struggling in mid-air.
"Besides, being my bodyguard is not completely free. I am not an angel who is good at painting cakes. Of course, I will give you some actual rewards..."
"For example, can I help you advance to the mythical level?"
Fisher opened his mouth slightly and was speechless for a moment, while Heller, who turned to look back, also waved the fish in his hand, and then she put it back into the water with a wave, causing a ripple.
...
...
Besides, Karasawa Asuka carried several kettles and ran to the river upstream to fetch water. She unscrewed the cap of the kettle and pointed it at the flowing river water, waiting for the kettle to be filled automatically.
The surrounding plants grew so wide that they were just half as tall as a person, blocking the view of their resting place in the distance. Tangze put his hand in the water and felt the slightest coolness brushing against the back of his hand. After a few moments,
Within seconds, she saw several translucent round things in the water, which seemed to be the body of the river, sticking half of their heads out of the water, looking at her stupidly, blinking constantly.
At first, Asuka Karasawa thought the thing was some kind of insect, which startled her, and she quickly took out the water bottle in her hand. As a result, the round little thing in the water did not look surprised at all, but kept looking at her, flowing.
The river water seems to be one with them, filling their round bellies with bubbles that pop out gurglingly.
These creatures... are like the water itself, amazing.
"What are you?"
Asuka Karasawa tentatively stretched out her hand to the little things in front of her. The round little things lying in the water glanced at her fingers, and then slowly put their heads on her fingers, just like water.
It is as cold and smooth as a balloon, and it is very relaxing to hold it.
"Gooji."
They shouted so cutely that Asuka Karasawa rubbed their heads again.
"They are water spirits, haven't you seen them before?"
"No, we don't have...hey?"
Suddenly, a gentle female voice with a strange tone came to her ears. Asuka Karasawa answered subconsciously, but soon realized something was wrong. She raised her head and saw a strange-looking creature standing in the creek.
the other side of.
It was a short, semi-humanoid female creature with obvious female characteristics. The overall height was only about 1.6 to 1.7 meters. Except for her face, her whole body was covered with a layer of light brown hair.
, the lower body is a petite body with four hooves, like a deer, timidly looking at Asuka Karasawa in front of her.
She was wearing a linen robe on her upper body, and she was holding a long wooden stick in her hand. There was a basket at the end of the stick, which seemed to contain something. Her face was childish, and she looked younger than Karasawa.
Asuka is also much younger, with a pair of long, furry ears on both sides of her cheeks, no horns on her head, and her black hair is tied up in a standard, tangible hairstyle.
Karasawa Asuka had never seen such an existence before. Even in her world, such inhuman works were not popular. This time, she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground and screamed,
"Ahhh! Don't come over here!"
"Gooji!"
Several innocent water spirits in her hands were thrown up by her movements, and Fat Dudu's body spun a few times in mid-air before falling into the water, and swam away into the distance with a "gurgling gurgling" sound.
At the same time, the frightened Karasawa Asuka subconsciously recalled the state when Fisher helped her activate the magic circuit that night. The magic circuit on her body also lit up little by little, making the little deer-like girl in front of her think she had hit a ghost.
, and screamed when his hoofs turned,
"Ahhhhh, ghost!"
Several people in the distance immediately ran over after hearing the words, and saw Asuka Karasawa and another strange creature that was half human and half deer lying on both sides of the river. They were all frightened.
Heller smiled and watched the half-human, half-deer girl spread her teeth and claws, and said hehe,
"That's right, we are all ghosts and we are here to eat you!"
"Ahhhh! Father!"
Gelsemium sighed, quickly turned to Heller and said,
"Stop making trouble, Angel Heller. This is the deer race, a sub-human race from the Tree Continent. They are generally the retainers of the elves, because the elves believe that the deer race is a symbol of luck... This deer race
He’s still so young, and it’s even more impossible for him to come out on his own.”
But Fisher didn't respond. He just kept staring at the pitifully sobbing fawn on the ground, as if he had seen something interesting, and couldn't move his eyes away for a while.
It seems that there are many differences from centaurs, such as hair and so on?
The fluorescent light in Mikhail's eyes, who was silent behind him, flashed. He immediately changed his expression, looked around, and whispered,
"There are... a lot of people nearby."
Fisher slowly moved his eyes away from the little deer-man girl, looked at Asuka Karasawa, and then looked at the surrounding dense forest. Facing the gradually brightening light in the sky, he clearly saw those people standing on the ground.
The shadows in the forest are getting closer and closer.
