Fisher was stuck in time and returned to the room they rented. When he came back, Nekolia double-checked that no one was following him back outside, which also meant that Mikhail had found the elf traitor.
The first step of the plan has been completed, and the next plan that needs to be implemented is to let Gelsemium replace him, and then take Fisher and Mikhail into the Jianmu Palace.
Because of his previous conversation with Tsuki, Fisher suddenly remembered that the identity of the transferred person in his group would be discovered by the elves. He thought that he could use the trick and let Gelsemium transport the three of his group to the elves via Baihou.
king.
Since the Elf King must have his own purpose in keeping the transferred person who later stole the World Tree's teardrop, then the probability that he will keep his three transferred persons will be much greater, and by then, the Elf King will be left behind.
Fisher and the others can also meet the transferred person in Jianmu Palace and find out the truth about the theft of the World Tree's teardrop.
The general idea is this, and since this is in Tao Gong's enchantment rather than the real world, their plan does not even need to consider the back-up plan, because as long as they find out the truth and the identity of the traitor, Tao Gong's enchantment
Most likely it will resolve itself.
Then, the only thing left to do is to wait until three days later.
Fisher and Gelsemium were discussing, and Heller, who was fishing in the water, also followed Fisher back to the room, and he seemed to have a bitter expression.
"Helaire, you're back...what's wrong with you?"
Asuka Karasawa said hello to her, but seeing the expression on her face, she couldn't help but ask a question. Unexpectedly, Heller directly stretched out his hand to rub the other person's face and complained,
"I originally wanted to have fun here, but I forgot that there is only the phantom of fate here, and everything I eat tastes tasteless..."
"Then you came back so late?"
Fisher complained mercilessly, causing Heller to hide behind Asuka Karasawa, as if he was using her as a shield and retorted,
"Didn't you just come back too?"
"..."
Fisher looked at her hiding behind Asuka Karasawa with only half of her face looking at him. He felt more and more that this guy's movements and behavior were more feminine. He ignored her and instead looked at her.
Mikhail's side.
He was still methodically identifying the elves on the tree who were visiting the royal capital this time. Fisher hesitated for a moment, but still told him about meeting Tsuki who came down from the tree and wandered secretly this afternoon, but said that he had not
Tell a little bit about future plans.
Of course, Fisher deliberately ignored that he discovered her by pursuing the vaguely familiar fragrance on her body, and only said that he thought she was suspicious.
Gelsemium touched her chin and said in surprise,
"Are there really such courageous elves? There shouldn't be many marquises in the eighteenth level. It's a pity that I only know a few of the more than a hundred elves in the Tree Continent... Lord Heller,
Have you heard of this elf named 'tsuki'?"
Heller shook his head decisively and said nothing.
Even Nekolia, a native of the Tree Continent, doesn't know much about it. According to her, she doesn't know much about the elven kingdoms to the east of the Tree Continent. Maybe she will know about it as your grandfather.
Since there was no information about Tsuki, Mikhail just stated that he would use robots to keep an eye on the lists of elves submitted for sacrifice.
...
...
Time quickly flew by and on the third day, everyone in the room came outside the city. Except for Mikhail, who was responsible for monitoring the elves, the others all set up an ambush in advance according to the time given by Gelsemium.
Mihain'er worked hard for two days to identify nearly twenty of the more than thirty elves who came. First of all, the elves were very low-key in their residences in the royal capital, and basically did not hang signs to show their identity like they did outside.
Mark, Mikhail relied on the words of the other party's entourage and officials to determine his true identity.
The second thing is that Mikhail cannot use that nanorobot at full load all the time. After a while, his mind will start to become unstable. In order to prevent him from getting sick again and causing trouble, Gelsemium strictly limits the time range for him to use the nanorobot.
, so the efficiency of determining identity has never been high.
But Mikhail will definitely complete the identity of the elf after they replace Gelsemium in the barrier today.
So, in the early morning, a group of people arrived outside the city and squatted to guard Gelsemium, who entered the royal capital alone.
At this time, the Teardrop of the World Tree had not yet been stolen, so the defense of the capital was far less stringent than in reality. Fisher and his party were not questioned much when they left the city.
They covered their faces to prevent two identical people from meeting each other directly, and pretended to be idle robbers in the wild, which would make it easier to attack.
"Is this the way you came to the royal city? By walking?"
The royal capital is located on the northernmost coast of the Tree Continent, and at this moment, they are squatting at a distance to the east of the capital.
Hearing Fisher's question, Gelsemium, with her face covered and dressed in black, looked at Fisher and explained,
"I came back from home, and I went to the shore next to the Royal Capital. It was only a short distance away, so I changed my clothes and walked straight over... Don't hesitate later, just hit me quickly and accurately. I
I can't react every time my wife makes a move, lest I manipulate your internal organs and make you uncomfortable."
"..."
Fisher listened to Gelsemium teaching others how to hit him, and was speechless for a moment. He didn't speak to respond. He only took out the fluid sword and the magic spell engraved by Asuka Karasawa, and was ready to attack people directly when he saw them.
It wasn't until he had a direct disciple that Fisher realized how convenient it was. He could ask Asuka Karasawa to carve spare magic spells for him at any time in the name of "practicing magic", so he didn't have to do it himself. However, Asuka Karasawa was still very good at carving magic spells.
Excited, as if I never get tired no matter how hard I work.
Well, is it possible that Teacher Hailsen also thought this way when he asked him to practice magic?
Among the team, Fisher, Gelsemium and Nekolia are responsible for the main frontal attack, while Heller and Asuka Karasawa, who holds several wind magics, are responsible for blocking the rear to prevent Gelsemium from escaping.
"coming!"
They didn't wait long. Soon outside the royal capital, in a jungle near the ocean, Fisher and the others saw a figure slowly approaching the royal capital. The figure was also wearing a piece of seaweed.
The woven clothes were just different from the ones Fisher wore when they first met him. He was also carrying a small box made of some kind of shells in his left hand. He was invited by Bai Hou to come to the royal capital to prepare for him.
Gelsemium, the whale-man traveling doctor who was treated by the Elf King.
But at this moment, the face of Gelsemium, which always had a gentle smile, was surprisingly cold. His slender blue hair was not completely dry yet, and it looked like he had just landed from the sea.
Asuka Karasawa and Heller were on the other side. Fisher glanced at the walking Gelsemium and asked the principal beside him,
"Why did you look so ugly then? Did you go back and quarrel with your wife?"
Gelsemium smiled bitterly and explained perfunctorily,
"Not really, it's just that something happened at home...Okay, let's get ready to take action. I'll disturb my own anger first, and then you and Nekolia can just go up directly."
"good."
Nekolia flapped her wings without saying a word, and raised her spear without mercy.
Not far away, Gelsemium had a cold face and was walking on the road carrying a medicine box. As he walked, he suddenly felt that the temperature around him had dropped several degrees, and then he suddenly felt that his legs began to feel weak.
.
Just when the Gelsemium boy shrank and began to realize something was wrong, he quickly reached out with his right hand, and a knife made of flowing gold liquid immediately appeared in his hand, but the attacker was obviously
React faster than him, or understand him very well.
Before he could see anyone, Gelsemium found that the meridian in his right hand seemed to have been hit by something invisible. Then, three black shadows suddenly jumped out ferociously from the bushes next to him, one of which had a huge head.
Wings, the other person was holding an extremely flexible blade in his hand, and he seemed to be holding a leaf that exuded strange fluctuations; the last person was empty-handed, but Gelsemium quickly realized that his meridians were just in front of him.
This guy got hit.
Just when the opponent was about to take action, the surrounded Gelsemium quickly reacted. He glanced at the opponent's rank. He was only thirteenth rank, but the "god" part among the three treasures was very weird.
; The other fourteenth-level one looks like a phoenix at first glance, and he is also the one who has experienced hundreds of battles; the last one seems to be the same as himself, not very good at fighting, and is the most rubbish one...
I saw Gelsemium swallowing a sip of saliva and quickly made a decision. Then in the astonished sight of Fisher and Nekolia, he decisively took the golden blade back into his arms, and then took the medicine in his hand.
The box was thrown on the ground, and then he bent his knees decisively and fell to the ground. His handsome face immediately started to cry, full of pain.
"What a man! Spare my life!"
Take whatever you want! I'm just a hard-working doctor. I have an old man and a young man, and I have a wife with a huge appetite to support. With so many mouths in the family, it's not easy to make ends meet.
Spare my life!"
The weapons raised in the hands of Fisher and Nekolia suddenly stopped in front of the whaleman who was crying and begging for mercy. The huge whale tail behind the passing Gelsemium patted the ground like a salted fish.
Then he decisively raised his hands and surrendered from the bottom of his heart.
"..."
The fierce battle they imagined did not happen. In fact, it seemed to end too easily. Looking at the past Gelsemia crying so sincerely and truly in front of them, the masked Fisher and Nekolia couldn't help it.
He looked back at the real owner behind him.
He was seen covering his face, as if he was a little embarrassed. After a few seconds, Fisher saw that Gelsemium had nothing to say, so he took the initiative to speak to Gelsemium,
"Don't play tricks."
"Why should I play tricks..." The expression on Gelsemium's face in front of him was even more unhappy, as if Fisher had wronged him by what he said. He continued, "Anyway, I can't earn anything from this trip.
Things, what kind of life are you playing with this little money!"
No, weren't you invited by Lord Bai to come to the capital to treat the Elf King?
Logically speaking, shouldn't I give you a lot of treasures or something?
Fisher turned back to look at the real owner, only to see him covering his face and lowering his head even further. However, he did not deny what his past self said. It seemed that Bai Hou really did not give him any valuable reward afterwards.
"...Tie him up."
Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Fisher planned to tie up the Gelsemium in the barrier and throw it into the sea according to the original plan.
Gelsemium said before that as long as she was thrown into the sea, she would definitely run away.
Nekolia expressionlessly tied Gelsemium round with iron ropes, and then pretended to take away all the valuable things on him, but Fisher did not notice his small gold dagger.
, we can only throw him down directly.
Seeing the tightly tied Gelsemium sinking little by little in the ocean, even though everything here was just an illusion, Nekolia couldn't help but ask one more question,
"Is it okay if I leave you like this?"
"...I am a whaleman. I am more happy in the water than on the shore. What can happen?"
Gelsemium at the back took off the black mask covering his face, took a few breaths, then looked at the ocean and said,
"I've probably lost my life after staying ashore with you for so long, and my wife hasn't seen me for a long time. I will return to the ocean after I finish what I have to do."
Fisher was noncommittal, because after he banished death, he would immediately return to his own time to reunite with Renee and the other ladies.
Karasawa Asuka and Heller, who had finished their ambush in the distance and ran over, couldn't hold back their laughter and covered their mouths and looked at Gelsemium. Apparently, the Gelsemium that just passed by had given up so easily.
The two of them saw it.
The two of them just smiled without saying anything, which made Gelsemium's face darken. They both muttered something like "I'm just a doctor", "I'm not good at fighting", "I still have a wife waiting for me at home.
I want to cherish my life and go back to reunite." This kind of words come out.
However, the teasing did not last long. After watching Asuka Karasawa and the others laughed enough, Gelsemium took off the black clothes that she was wearing as a cover, put on her own clothes made of water plants, and picked up the loot.
medicine box.
He glanced at the royal capital, as if he had seen some trouble again, and sighed and said,
"Let me tell you first, this matter was originally very troublesome, and I don't want to go over it again. But since it is to help, I am obliged. Just remember to listen to my instructions. That guy Bai Hou is not normal, we
It's best to hurry up now, you might be late now..."
"Not normal?"
Asuka Karasawa had some questions, and Fisher was also curious about the elf who invited Gelsemium to the Tree Continent. But just when everyone wanted to learn more about Gelsemium, they suddenly felt the ground begin to shake slightly.
.
earthquake?
It doesn't seem right, it's not as violent as an earthquake...
“Little kiss!
Where are you?! You're late!
Is something going to happen? I'm here to find you!
"
That is to say, at the same time and at the same moment, along with the extremely obvious trembling sound of the ground, a high-pitched female voice seemed to come from the horizon, resounding through the wilderness outside the city gate, but it remained quiet inside the royal capital, as if no sound was transmitted.
It's the same as going in.
Hearing this, Gelsemium's face turned pale and his whole body froze. Then he hurriedly said to Nekolia and Heller who could not be taken together,
"You guys, jump into the sea and hide! Baihou is coming to find me!"
Before Nekolia could react, Heller gave him a thumbs up, then pulled Nekolia who was stunned beside him and jumped into the sea, and soon disappeared.
As for Fisher, Karasawa Asuka and others who were standing on the same spot, they soon became uneasy as the ground shook.
They turned around to look, only to see smoke and dust scattered all over the sky in the direction of the Royal Capital. Asuka Karasawa couldn't see clearly, but with Fisher's eyesight, she could faintly see a figure running in the center of the smoke.
"Boom!"
As the figure got further away from the royal capital, the sound of the running became louder. It sounded like thunder from a distance and made Asuka Karasawa's eardrums hurt.
Gelsemium's face became paler and paler, and her hands clutched her clothes tightly.
Soon, the figure running in the smoke became clearer and clearer.
It turned out that it was a beautiful black-haired woman wearing a high-waisted red skirt. The woman had a very elegant sideburn bun, and a pair of long ears covered with earrings inlaid with crystals. It looked like that
Gorgeous and elegant, but if you ignore her wild running style...
She has a broad mind and is definitely not mediocre at first glance. A pair of pink embroidered shoes did not restrain her temperament at all, but rather amplified her abilities due to the contrast.
Her eighteenth-level aura swept across the ground without restraint, and she soon discovered Gelsemium and Fischer, Asuka Karasawa, Mikhail and others standing in the distance.
"Xiao Qi, why don't you go to the city? What are you doing there?!"
Seeing Gelsemium elegans, the expression on Bai Hou's face brightened instantly. Her pace slowed down little by little, turning from wild to elegant. By the way, she could also straighten the messy black hair on her temples, which caused the ground to tremble.
It also slowed down until it disappeared bit by bit...
Fisher and Karasawa Asuka were both slightly startled. They turned back to look at Gelsemium, only to see that the smile on his face had completely disappeared and almost turned into a bitter look.
Then, Gelsemium raised the corners of her mouth and explained to Fisher and the others,
"Bai Hou is very difficult to deal with. She is sick."
"..."
Fisher and the others did not respond, but honestly hid all the items that were covering their faces, and watched the elegant elf Baihou walking into the woods without saying a word.
Gelsemium coughed, her expression became serious, she put down the medicine box she had picked up, and was about to give a standard salute.
"Hou Bai, it's really presumptuous of me to ask you to come out to greet me despite your busy schedule. Gelsemium is really..."
But before he finished speaking, Bai Hou easily grasped Gelsemium's palm, without even looking at the people next to him, and just rubbed his hands into his own palms with fiery eyes.
Gelsemium trembled slightly, her expression became unnatural, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but no matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail.
"Ah, it's so easy to be shy with small kisses. It makes me so happy... Aren't I worried about you? There are so many dangers outside the royal city. What if I encounter some thief and hurt your delicate doctor's hand and miss the king?
What should be done about the pathogenesis of the disease?"
As he spoke, Baihou rubbed all parts of Gelsemium's palm harder, but refused to let go.
At the same time, Baihou seemed to feel something. With a rosy face, she lowered her head and said to Gelsemium's hand,
"Why are Xiaoqi's hands so dry? Could it be..."
I have forgotten that Gelsemium has not returned to the water for a long time.
Just when Asuka Karasawa became nervous, Gelsemium forced a smile and explained,
"Lord Baihou, I have been feeling unwell recently, so..."
"Just call me Bai..." Before Gelsemium could finish speaking, Marquis Bai interrupted him. Then she squinted her eyes and scanned Gelsemium's whole body, and then she sighed and said,
"Ah, your wife really doesn't know how to show mercy to her. She will definitely bully you in Xunri... Unlike me, you can relax here. Follow me to the city quickly. I have prepared meals in the city.
...Hey, who are these?"
Baihou rubbed the loveless face of Gelsemium dotingly. Just when she was about to pull Gelsemium and turn around to leave, she seemed to belatedly saw Fisher and his party next to them.
Then, Baihou's rosy face faded little by little, and a little surprise flashed in her eyes. Before Gelsemium could explain, she had already spoken,
"Oh, there are still three people transferred...it's really interesting."
She smiled, but it was completely different from the shy woman in front of Gelsemium. Instead, she looked so wild.
