Karasawa Asuka tilted her head, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Momo Gong's words at all. However, she vaguely felt that there was something mysterious in the other person's words, but she couldn't understand it at all.
Momo, who was holding a fan, smiled slightly. She put down her fan, pointed at Asuka Karasawa in front of her and said,
"Destiny, like death, is entangled with all things. This principle applies to everything in this world, but it has little effect on people who are transferred like you. You just discovered it, didn't you?"
Yes, just now Teacher Fisher said that an hour had passed on their side, but less than ten minutes had passed on his side.
She seemed to realize something, and then suddenly said to Mr. Tao,
"That Taozi, did you lure me here on purpose?"
"Not stupid, you idiot."
Tao Gong stood up from the water. Her small child-like body was almost covered by the stream. She raised her hands above her head and carefully walked to the shore in the water.
The white cloth maid climbed up the shore with difficulty, and then under Asuka Karasawa's surprised eyes, the clothes on her body dried quickly, as if she had returned to the way she looked before she fell into the water.
Fisher had roughly guessed what had just happened. The sudden disappearance of Asuka Karasawa was caused by the petite-looking elf in front of him, but he still had some doubts that he had not answered, so he continued to ask,
"We only have one transfer person, why did you only look for Karasawa Asuka?"
Tao Gong blinked and said bluntly,
"Zhaoyu, it turns out your name is Asuka Karasawa. It's such a weird name. The reason is simple, because she is the stupidest and the easiest to be deceived."
""
Asuka Karasawa's face turned red all of a sudden, and her cheeks bulged out. If the little brat in front of her hadn't been confirmed to be a 19th-level Grand Duke, she would probably have beaten her up again like before.
.
"Okay, I've roughly got what I want in Bai Yi. Are those fourteenth-level people here?"
"Yes, Mr. Tao. Although the existences of the fourteenth rank are the mainstays of all countries, they are very curious about the situation in the royal capital, so they are very generous and let them come with the envoy. Now they are waiting for you at the entrance.
Feeling down."
"Well, it's okay. You can go out and arrange for them first. I have something else to tell them."
"yes."
After the maid in white turned around and left, Mr. Momo glanced at Karasawa Asuka who was still soaking in the water and said in surprise,
"Hey, Zaiyu, you haven't come out of the water yet? Are you taking a bath?"
"I"
After hearing this, Asuka Karasawa was about to stand up immediately, but she secretly glanced at Teacher Fisher next to her. He seemed to realize that she was a little embarrassed, so he immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to the other side, so she stopped being pretentious.
He stood up and walked towards the shore.
As a result, as soon as she landed on the shore, the clothes on her body suddenly changed and turned directly into the white robe she was wearing before. The wetness on her body also disappeared instantly, leaving Asuka Karasawa slightly stunned.
"Don't be surprised, come with me, I need your help with something."
Fisher and Asuka Karasawa looked at each other, and had no choice but to follow the peach girl who was walking towards the huge peach tree in the center. As they walked, her delicate childish voice could be heard,
"My kingdom is in the east far away from the royal capital. Like other princes, we are not allowed to enter the royal capital Kinki under normal circumstances. Even if the king is reincarnated soon, we, as the pillars of the continent, cannot move at all. But the current situation
It’s different. While I was waiting at a place far away from the royal capital, drastic changes occurred in the royal capital.”
As Peach Blossom gets closer to the huge peach tree in the middle, her figure becomes more and more erratic, as if the surrounding space is shaking slightly.
"We Grand Dukes don't know the specific situation. We just got some clues from the mouths of the royal servants. As early as a few years ago, the King who was chasing death was getting closer to reincarnation. Our other Grand Dukes have already experienced reincarnation.
, but the king’s status is different, and he needs to be more cautious about reincarnation. In order to avoid risks, he has been using some method to extend his life until now. Although the king is still alive until now, his condition is definitely far worse than before. "
Tao Gong opened her fan and covered her mouth, covering up the harsh words she was about to say during the ceremony.
"To put it bluntly, the king is becoming more and more unconscious, so much so that the most precious treasure in the Jianmu Palace, the symbol of [Mother]'s descent, the World Tree Teardrop was stolen and kept secretly by a king.
The person who transferred it was stolen."
The teardrops of the World Tree were really stolen!
Fisher and Karasawa Asuka immediately realized that their purpose of coming to the Tree Continent this time had been achieved.
But just when Mr. Peach said these words, Fisher and Karasawa Asuka just walked into the range of the huge peach tree at the end of the creek. As Fisher and Karasawa Asuka's faces simultaneously
With expressions of surprise, the road behind them was instantly blocked by dense peach trees, locking them and Mr. Peach next to this huge peach tree.
Fisher frowned and looked at the peach trees behind him that were like an iron wall. With just one glance, he was sure that every peach tree among them had the strength of a mythical level, and he would never be able to escape by himself.
Tao, who was holding a fan in front of her to cover her face, turned back with a smile, waved her hand, and waved out a peach blossom-like fragrance, which seemed to be her body fragrance.
"Don't worry, it's just that the secret I just mentioned is only known to a few of us Grand Dukes even in the Tree Continent. For the sake of safety, we can't let you go out before we reach a consensus to avoid leaking the secret."
"Ah?! What's the consensus? If we don't agree, will we be locked up here forever?"
Or with Mr. Fisher?!
Tao Gong looked at her with a smile, but he didn't say anything, but he seemed to have been calling her a "bastard" or "idiot" without stopping. His eyes alone made her angry.
However, Fisher next to him thought for a second, looked at her and asked,
"Even if we don't reach any consensus, she has a way to ensure that the secret is not leaked, and she has shown the method many times. Your clothes and the state of her falling into the water have been restored to the way they were in the past. She can completely
We are back to where we were before we heard this secret. But since she said these words to us, it means that she wants something from us."
Tao Gong slowly closed the fan in his hand, nodded, and praised,
"I like talking to smart people. You idiot is his student but you seem to have learned nothing. After all, IQ is innate."
"you!"
Karasawa Asuka pursed her lips and decided to curse her silently in her heart.
Fisher continued his train of thought, looked at the petite Tao Gong in front of him and asked,
"So, what exactly is the 'consensus' you are talking about?"
When Tao Gong heard this, he opened his hands and turned around to Fisher, pouted and said,
"It's very cute. This is the time when I was just born in this life. Back to the topic, this is the consequence of my ability. Because of [property], we in Xunri are completely unable to interfere in the affairs of the royal capital.
, of course we don’t know what happened here, but of course we have to find out if such a big thing happened. I created a barrier and can go back in time here. I hope to see all the information about the transferred person.
Get Clues to the Stolen Teardrop"
"However, the chaotic atmosphere of the transferred person disrupted the operation of the rules. In their destiny, their shadows were very similar. I got very few clues. The only thing I learned was that the transferred person
She suddenly appeared next to the king. She stayed in the royal capital for several years, and suddenly she stole the World Tree Teardrop six months ago and disappeared."
"However, just like a miscellaneous fish like you, the transferred person should be just an ordinary human being except for the chaotic aura on his body. The Jianmu Palace has the Yuzi and Zhouzi square axes, as well as dozens of giant trees.
Guard, even if the king is negligent due to his limited lifespan, it is impossible for an ordinary human like her to steal the Teardrop of the World Tree stored deep in the Jianmu Palace."
Fisher's brows raised slightly, and he suddenly understood what Duke Tao and other elf princes were suspecting.
"You mean, the person who transferred has other helpers?"
"Yes, and there is a high probability that he is a member of my race, an elf."
Mr. Peach jumped onto the huge peach tree behind him, yawned, and just like when he met Karasawa Asuka for the first time, he opened his fan to cover half of his face, and said,
"All the records in the royal capital have been sealed, and the king will summon the elves who are his subjects for various reasons to make sacrifices, treat diseases, present treasures, and visit relatives. Six months ago, including me, there were a total of seventy
Several elves have entered the royal capital. The whale doctor from the ocean in your team also went to the royal capital to treat the king half a year ago through the introduction of [Baihou]. I saw him in the previous barrier.
Pass his figure."
Gelsemium?
"He did mention to us that he once entered the royal capital to diagnose and treat your king."
Tao Gong looked sideways at Fisher, put away his fan after a second or two, sat up and pointed at him and Karasawa Asuka next to him,
"The past barrier was tainted with a shadow that I couldn't see because of the chaos, but it might have a different look in the eyes of the three of you who have transferred? You are in a group, so there is no harm in acting together. In short, I think
Let you help me find the traitor among us, and we will solve the rest."
""
While Fisher was still thinking, Tao Gong lowered his fan, looked down at them, and asked,
"As a reward, I will give you whatever you want. Treasures, titles, and beauties, I can satisfy them all."
Looking at Mr. Peach on the tree, his pink eyes were like motionless deep abyss. Fisher was silent for a second or two. Next to him, Asuka Karasawa was still secretly watching him and waiting for him to make up his mind.
But suddenly he opened his mouth and said,
"Deal, all I want is Asian beauties."
"Aaaaaaaaah?!"
Asuka Karasawa looked at Fisher in surprise, only to find that he was secretly hinting at something to her with his eyes. She had not yet fully realized it, but based on her trust in Teacher Fisher, she still did not raise any questions.
Momoko held up his fan and looked at Karasawa Asuka with a smile, and then asked,
"Zhaoyu, what about you?"
"My treasure?"
Mr. Tao nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, and lay down on the branches. The peach tree behind them that blocked their coming and going disappeared little by little, revealing a road leading into the distance, and her childish voice came along.
,
"Okay, it's a deal. I will provide you all with a sufficient amount of treasures and beauties, demi-human beauties. Just keep walking along this road and you will see your companions. Go and convince them. I
Wait for you for a day, you can take advantage of this time to take a rest, and the reward will be given to you in the evening. Come back early tomorrow morning, and I will send you into the barrier."
"yes."
Fisher nodded, pulled Asuka Karasawa beside him and walked back towards the other end of the peach blossom forest.
And Asuka Karasawa, who was being pulled by her, looked at Teacher Fisher, who had a stern face and was thinking, and the doubts she had just because of his decisive request disappeared little by little.
She opened her mouth to say something or ask something, but Fisher raised his finger to refuse. She also looked back blankly at the huge peach tree.
Yes, they are still inside Tao Gong's barrier now. It would be bad if Tao Gong overhears what they say.
Although Fisher had no intention of explaining, she still started thinking on her own.
She suddenly realized that any reward for the situation just now was not appropriate. They came here looking at the teardrops of the World Tree, and they were people sent by the Sanctuary. It was impossible to expose these two points to Mr. Tao, so then
You can only continue to use your identity as a "native of Wutong Country".
Then not wanting to pay will obviously attract more attention from Mr. Momo. Karasawa Asuka doesn't believe that Mr. Momo didn't consider where the team of three transferred people who suddenly appeared came from before asking them for help. It's just because she can't see it.
Karasawa Asuka and their past, that’s why
She lowered her head and looked at the white robe on her body. Although it was the clothing of the Holy Realm, it was actually not much different from the one on the Tree Continent. It was just covered with a piece of cloth, and it was from the Chun Kingdom.
The clothes are different from those in Wutong, and the clothes of the Phoenix species seem to be different from those of the kings who came to make them. Tao Gong probably did not find their loopholes through the clothes.
Therefore, the optimal solution just now is actually to accept the reward from Mr. Tao. Anyway, they are not here for the reward. Once they can confirm that the teardrop in Jianmu Palace has been stolen, they can leave the tree continent for business.
Karasawa Asuka suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, just now Mr. Fisher was just continuing to use the persona he used when dealing with Hiiragi, pretending to be a bad guy who likes demihumans. Although it is indeed very effective and can quickly dispel other people's concerns, Asuka Karasawa
Always feeling unworthy of Teacher Fisher being forced to put herself down
She secretly glanced at Mr. Fisher, who was walking in front without saying a word, and inexplicably felt a sense of reliability in him, and Asuka Karasawa was very attracted to this sense of reliability.
"Is this a mature adult? I have to work hard."
Karasawa Asuka thought so in her heart, and at the same time, she patted her face hard, silently speeding up her pace and walking alongside Fisher.
Fisher, who was walking in front, saw that she had figured it out, so he no longer worried, since he had no intention of explaining it anyway.
Generally speaking, Fisher's thoughts are similar to the conclusions drawn from Asuka Karasawa's analysis, except for the part about the remuneration of those demi-girls.
But what he needs to explain additionally is that he wants these rewards not out of the desire to reproduce, which he can assure Renee.
It's just because he needs to quickly get close to the top of the fourteenth level, so he needs these demi-human girls to study it. This kind of free opportunity should not be used in vain. Moreover, in front of him, there is still the Nekolia that has not been completed, and it is still unfinished.
There are elves
Fisher recalled the petite, delicate and cute appearance of Mr. Peach, and suddenly felt a little regretful. It would be great if he could study the characteristics of the elf species. It seems that it is quite difficult to meet a female elf species.
Well, did Asuka Karasawa have a conversation with that elf just now?
Thinking of this, Fisher paused slightly. He suddenly looked at Asuka Karasawa behind him and asked her,
"How did you meet that Mr. Tao when you appeared here just now? When I came here, I saw you two falling into the water. What happened? Are you injured?"
If she has had a conversation with Mr. Momo and seems to have a good relationship, can she use Asuka Karasawa as a medium to obtain the research progress on elven species?
It's just a conjecture for now, I don't know if it will work.
"Why?"
Behind her, Asuka Karasawa felt Fisher's somewhat concerned gaze. For some reason, she suddenly recalled the time when she fell into the water wearing an inappropriate swimsuit. She felt a little embarrassed and reached out to scratch her own cheeks.
cheek, said,
"Ah, before that I saw a peach falling from the tree, and then I went to pick it up. Unexpectedly, the surrounding environment changed just after I took a few steps. Then I met that kid. She kept scolding me and asked me
I helped her catch fish, so I changed into that outfit."
Fisher didn't know why Asuka Karasawa suddenly started to explain that she was wearing that weird outfit, like a swimsuit? And the number wasn't quite right.
But he suddenly thought of Jasmine. When she was at Saint-Nali University, she seemed to be often troubled by clothes.
He shook his head and temporarily put away the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
"It's okay, I didn't see anything."
Well, the more you say that, the more I feel like you’ve seen everything!
Asuka Karasawa complained silently in her heart, but in front of her face, she still nodded with a blush on her face and tacitly ignored the topic.
They moved forward in silence, and soon walked across the long path to the place they had arrived at before. Even Karasawa Asuka did not expect that she would be so far away from the previous place.
As a result, Fisher felt like he was "struck by lightning at the opening" just after he walked out.
In the wide forest clearing, Gelsemium and Mikhail were standing distressedly under a peach tree. When they saw Fisher and the others coming back, they quickly waved.
"You are finally back, and we have just come back. I didn't even know you met that maid. Come over quickly and have a look. This guy Heller seems to have eaten too many peaches. He was like this when he came back."
"ha?"
Fisher walked back between them with an abstract expression, but he saw Heller in a white robe lying on the ground under the peach blossom tree in front of them, with a lot of peach stones falling off his body. After careful counting, there were quite a few.
Ten, Fisher's scalp was numb when he saw it.
She was covering her belly with one hand and holding a half-eaten peach in the other hand. The fake breasts made of halo were not as big as her bulging belly. I wonder how many peaches she had eaten.
.
Seeing her face pale and looking very uncomfortable, Fisher squatted down beside her with some suspicion, wanting to confirm his condition.
I don’t know if she was teased too much by this guy. No matter what happened to this guy, the first thing Fisher thought was that she was having fun.
"Hellel?"
After a moment of silence, Fisher finally called her.
Heller, who was lying on the ground, frowned slightly, as if in extreme pain, and his long eyelashes flapped their wings with difficulty like a butterfly.
Her blue-gold eyes seemed to be rippled, and when she saw Fisher in front of her, she seemed to have obvious emotional fluctuations.
Her voice was hoarse and her words seemed a little dry.
"Oh, why are you coming back? Everything is over now."
"speak English."
Heller sobbed and seemed to be in more pain. When Fisher couldn't bear it anymore and was about to pull out the fluid sword, she stopped acting and turned over with difficulty while holding her bulging belly.
He lay on the ground and said dullly,
"I'm choking after eating too many peaches. Do you have any water?"
