Fisher took a peek at Asuka Karasawa, who was covering her face and lowering her head and sobbing continuously. From the corner of his eye, he saw the tears that were seeping out from between her fingers. He was slightly startled. Apparently Karasawa
Asuka shed so many tears beyond his imagination.
Fisher was a little confused. He looked up at Mikhail and Gelsemium, who were sitting and resting behind Asuka Karasawa. He seemed to be asking for help. Mikhail turned away as if it was "nothing to do with him."
Preparing to find a place to rest, he quickly walked behind the screen; Gelsemium was still sitting there, looking at Fisher warily, making Fisher feel that his eyes were like guarding against thieves.
Somewhat inexplicable.
"...What's wrong, Karasawa?"
After asking for help to no avail, Fisher reluctantly took action in person and took the initiative to ask.
"Hug...wuwu, sorry...I..."
But the response to Fisher was still incomprehensible sobs. Fisher looked down and found that she had raised her head, but her sobs made her unable to speak. Whenever she wanted to
When I open my mouth, my throat will be replaced by more severe sobs.
The pink color at the corners of her eyes spread little by little until it filled up her entire delicate little face. Her long, moist eyelashes were like leaves in the morning, covered with wet dewdrops, condensing into the bright water-colored eyes below.
Asuka Karasawa seemed a little embarrassed to be stared at as she was crying like this. She wiped her tears and lowered her head, and the pink color on her face became a little more intense.
Fisher didn't make any extra moves, he just pulled her to sit on the chair next to him, and then stood there quietly waiting for her to slowly calm down. Then, the hall began to move slowly amidst her crying.
Calmly, after a few minutes, only her undulating sobs and warm breathing were left in the palace.
Seeing that she showed no signs of getting better, Gelsemium's eyes flashed slightly, as if he saw the spirit surging violently in her body. He gradually discovered a problem with Asuka Karasawa, that is, once her mood fluctuates significantly, she will
I can't stop at all and it takes a long, long time to calm down.
It was like this in the cage of the Holy Realm just now, but it can be explained by the violent stimulation she received after traveling through time. But did she receive any stimulation just now?
Without saying a word, Gelsemium stretched out her hands, using completely transparent threads that were completely invisible to others except himself, to restrict her venting of emotions. It was not until he finished that he nuzzled at Fisher.
, while asking him to come over, he whispered,
"I made little Tangze feel a little depressed, but it doesn't work like this... I didn't pay attention to her just now. What happened to her? Why was she crying so hard? Was it because of the rat woman just now? Was it because she pitied them?
?It shouldn’t be..."
"..."
Fisher was silent for a moment, looking at Karasawa Asuka who was still sobbing after Gelsemium reduced her mental power, he thought for a moment, shook his head and said,
"It's not out of pity, it's probably out of envy."
"Envy? Rat Lady?"
Fisher kept looking at Asuka Karasawa who was covering her face, and suddenly thought of what Asuka Karasawa said to him in the Sanctuary Cage that night,
"No, I am envious of the child in the arms of the rat woman. Tangze told me before that she lived with her mother since she was a child, and only lived with her father after her mother passed away. But her mother did not care about her.
Well, it’s most likely because seeing Mrs. Rat’s behavior reminded her of her mother again, right?”
Gelsemium opened her mouth. It took a long time before she could remember the conversation between Fisher and Asuka Karasawa that night. He seemed to have never expected that Fisher could find out the connection in detail. He squinted and turned around to look.
asked Fisher,
"How do you know so much?"
Fisher turned to look at Gelsemium expressionlessly and replied,
"Because I have a pretty good memory."
"..."
The therapeutic effect of Gelsemium was basically immediate. Asuka Karasawa, who was covering her face and sobbing, quickly calmed down. It wasn't until the hall became quieter that she wiped her eyes pitifully and raised her head.
Her eyes were a little red and swollen. Looking at the two quiet people in the distance who did not disturb her, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Gelsemium..."
Karasawa Asuka apologized again.
"fine."
Fisher simply replied, but Gelsemium asked one more question,
"Did you think of something just now, Xiao Tangze?"
"Hey... um. But I seemed to see something suddenly just now. I seemed to see the mother and son dead and thrown from the tree... and then... and then..."
Asuka Karasawa covered her eyes in pain, because not only was the tragic death of the mother-in-law and her son, she also recalled the time when she lived with her mother.
Karasawa Asuka still remembered that her mother left her in a huge house in her house in Tokyo. She went to various parties and drank, so she forgot about herself when she returned home from school.
She had no food to eat, so she waited at home for her mother to come back. But it was very late, so late that she didn't even remember how late, that her mother came back with another uncle she didn't know.
She randomly gave herself a few hundred yen and asked herself to go to a convenience store to buy something to eat. Then she took the money and went to the convenience store to buy a piece of bread. She ate it for a long time before going back, because if she went back early, she would
You will see a picture of your mother and an uncle you don’t know together.
Asuka Karasawa still remembers that she was sometimes insulted by her mother. She said that she was just like her father, saying that she was stupid and that her father gave very little child support and could not even afford a decent piece of jewelry. As a result, she lost everything in her life.
A lot of dissatisfaction was taken out on myself...
Asuka Karasawa felt that her mother hated her, and sadly, she felt guilty because of it, so she learned to apologize to her mother constantly for this feeling of guilt.
"Little Tangze, you said you saw the mother-in-law and her son falling?"
"Ah, sorry..."
Facing Gelsemium's question, she was stunned for several seconds before she came back to her senses. Then she quickly raised her head, rubbed her eyes, nodded and said,
"Well, I don't know how I saw it, but it was very real... It was like it really happened in front of my eyes."
Gelsemium opened her mouth, touched her chin, and said,
"Maybe Tao Gong's method is really effective. The transferred person is really special. You are so sensitive to fate. Maybe you can really see the transferred person left by the Elf King... But why Mihayin
I can’t even see a hair on my body, is there a gap between the people who have been transferred?”
"Uh-huh."
Fisher looked at Asuka Karasawa pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, but did not say anything unnecessary. Instead, he looked behind the screen and said to Karasawa,
"Go to the back and have a rest. Baihou will be back soon. Just let Gelsemium deal with her. Have a good rest and we will enter Jianmu Palace tomorrow."
"good..."
Asuka Karasawa rubbed her eyes, stood up tiredly and prepared to walk behind the screen. When she walked past Fisher, she looked at Fisher and Gelsemium who were sitting there still thinking, and she always felt like she was there again.
It burdened them and did not help them much.
"Teacher Fisher, hug..."
She pursed her lips and subconsciously wanted to say familiar words to Fisher again, but Fisher didn't even look at her, but suddenly stretched out his right hand and pressed it on her head, suddenly suppressing her momentum.
All the words and words were pressed back,
"Woo..."
"Look forward, Karasawa...go and have a rest."
Out of sight of Fisher, Asuka Karasawa squinted her eyes as comfortably as a kitten. When Fisher pulled away his hand, her head was still moving towards him as if attracted by a magnet.
He looked in the direction and felt as if he was being touched very comfortably. It wasn't until a second later that he suddenly came back to his senses and quickly agreed,
"Uh-huh!"
Then she ran away quickly.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!"
Asuka Karasawa over there had just left, and Gelsemium, who was watching the show next to her, immediately started "tsk-tsk" as if it was equipped with a machine gun. The look in her eyes was about to kill Fisher.
"It's so warm, and you can touch your head... You're so clean, Fisher..."
Fisher glared at him, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said,
"Didn't you miss Baihou just now? You were restless, weren't you just waiting for him to come back?"
Gelsemium was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously retorted,
"Who the hell...oooooooo!"
But before he finished speaking, a tall figure spread out from behind him. When a scent of fragrance spread from the tip of Gelsemium's nose, he suddenly felt something bad and quickly prepared to look back. The next moment
His whole head was locked in a warm embrace,
"Oh, little kiss, little kiss! Were you thinking about her secretly just now? Really, I've only been away for a while... Sure enough, you've been tired of your rotten wife for a long time, right? How about we have an affair quietly?
So, don’t worry, she won’t find out~”
Behind him, Bai Hou suddenly appeared, his face full of sunshine, he hugged Gelsemium's upper body and said so happily.
Hearing the words "the wife who is tired of the chaff", Gelsemium shuddered all over his body, his face turned pale, his whole body trembled and he struggled quickly, but in front of the eighteenth-level Bai Hou, even if it was just a shadow of fate
There is no resistance at all,
"Impossible, I am devoted to me...my wife...Bai Hou, you respect yourself...let me go...Fisher! You fucking...ahhhh...
.”
Fisher silently retreated behind the screen and handed over the biggest trouble here to Gelsemium. He also planned to find a room to rest. He also needed to make some preparations for his trip to Jianmu Palace tomorrow.
...
...
Under the leadership of the demihuman serving in the guest room, Fisher prepared to go to the room to rest temporarily, but as he walked inside, Fisher could often feel the presence of various mythological elves, and he felt that they were there.
Chi Chi.
He was a little confused about this, because from the outside, the palaces on Kemu should be far apart.
"This way, sir."
Fisher looked at the murals on the corridor next to him as he walked. Yes, elves also like to carve all kinds of beautiful murals next to buildings, just like the murals on the Phoenix Bridge that they saw in the north.
.It seems that the culture of the Tree Continent is really of the same origin. The Phoenix species accidentally brought the culture of the Tree Continent to a foreign land.
The story engraved on the mural in front of you is this:
In this world, there is a huge tree that stands between heaven and earth. According to legend, she possesses all the wisdom in the world, is the most admirable mother in heaven and earth, and has unparalleled power. One day, she
There are many children, but only three are the strongest and smartest. They pay attention to etiquette and respect each other, and are very popular with the giant tree.
So one day, the giant tree called the three children to him one after another and said the same thing to them.
The giant tree said: "My children, I want to imitate my creator and give you a precious gift, but I don't have such great abilities as them, so I can only let you choose one gift. Tell me what you want.
, I will give it to you, and then use this gift to help each other with your brothers and sisters."
The first was the oldest of the three children, who said, "I want to know everything that happened in the past so that I can repeat it over and over again to learn from it, and then I will be unbeatable."
The giant tree said: "Okay."
Then, the eldest child left the giant tree with a clear past.
Next was the youngest of the three children. He said to the giant tree: "I want to know the future and know the determined results of the future, so that I don't have to feel uneasy about doubts about the future."
The giant tree said: "Okay."
So, the youngest child left the giant tree with a determined future for everything.
The last child, neither old nor young, thought for a long time and said to the giant tree: "I don't want to know the specific past or future, because the undetermined possibilities are the most important. I want to explore the reasons for the formation of things, like
Untie the knots and embrace the possibilities of the past and the future.”
The giant tree was also silent for a long time. She finally said: "I have nothing to give you, but all the other children are begging you."
The last child didn't get anything, but still left the giant tree satisfied.
It is such a short story. In Fisher's opinion, it is likely to be filled with strong artistic processing, which may or may not represent what really happened.
But just like this fable, Fisher seemed to be moved by the scene and remembered what the Moon Princess had mentioned.
She said that the future in her eyes was not a specific picture, but a feeling. She said that she saw a huge dead end, so she had to plan in advance; and Valentina, who is also a Phoenix species, saw
But it is a clear and established picture.
It was difficult to say which one was better, a predetermined ending that would not change no matter what efforts he made, or the scene seen by the Moon Princess, but through the mural in front of him, Fisher was vaguely aware of a fact.
That is, for elves, the "undetermined" in fate is better than the "determined".
While Fisher was thinking, he followed the attendant in front of him towards the room. This process was not long, but as he walked, he suddenly bumped into a rather familiar-looking figure in the corridor facing him.
The man in front of me has long black hair, and a pair of long ears with a lot of jingling earrings and jewelry. He has a handsome face, and he always has a kind smile on his face. One look at him will make you feel like spring breeze.
.
"Hello, please help me transfer these things to the rat lady in charge here."
Tsubaki?
The elf who suddenly appeared here was none other than the elf Earl and Uncle Chun whom Fisher and the others met when they first arrived in the Tree Continent.
Of course, in the shadow of fate here, he didn't know Fisher yet. He was talking to the guide next to Fisher.
"Ah, Mr. Chun Bo, you are really overstepping your bounds. I said earlier that I would come to your guest hall to pick it up tonight. Why did you come in person?"
Uncle Chun handed some food and clothing to the leading servant in front of him. Seeing how humble and reserved he was, he couldn't help but say,
"It doesn't matter. Originally, I was supposed to leave tonight and had to pack my luggage, so I asked you to come over and pick up things for the rat woman. Now there's no need. I have to go to the Jianmu Palace to see the king tomorrow, so...
By the way, who is this?"
"Ah, this is the guest invited by Master Baihou. Let's take a rest here. Don't worry, Uncle Chun. I will definitely give these things to Anu."
After collecting the things, the guide next to him secretly glanced at Fisher next to him and didn't say much. However, Fisher, who had just met the rat woman and her son, soon knew the whole story. He knew.
The leader in front of him told other officials about the rat woman secretly hiding the child on the guest tree.
Fisher said nothing, and Chun Bo glanced at him as a warning, but even though it was a warning, he did not completely release the oppression of his mythical status, so he seemed to leave some room.
Then, he cupped his hands to the leader next to Fisher and said,
"Trouble."
"It can't be done! It can't be done!"
The leader was so frightened that he almost knelt down, but fortunately, before he could make any move, Uncle Chun had already left.
By the time the guide stood up with difficulty holding food, clothes and other things, the gentle Uncle Chun had already left far away. The guide opened his mouth and sighed softly,
"Uncle Chun, what a pity..."
"What happened to Uncle Chun?"
Fisher and the guide continued to move forward. He heard the sighs of the people next to him, so he asked this question.
The guide next to him gave Fisher a wary look when he heard this, but he thought that Uncle Chun was an elf after all, so as long as it didn't have anything to do with Rat Woman, it would be fine.
He sighed for a moment and then said,
"Uncle Chun is a good man. He treats the servants like us very well. The servants who are arranged to serve him are very lucky. But I seemed to have overheard them when I went to the halls of other elves.
Said, because Uncle Chun did not hand over the slaves, the king is very unhappy. I am afraid that it is also because of this matter that he will ask Lord Chunbo to enter the palace alone tomorrow... Sir, we are here, and your companions will rest here in turn. If you need anything, you can call us at any time.
.”
Halfway through his words, Fisher had already arrived at the door of the room where he was resting.
The other party did not continue the conversation, and Fisher also stayed in front of the room door for a long time before thanking him, and entered the room alone to rest, waiting for the critical moment tomorrow.
