The human coalition forces in Nali ahead have new movements, which is a very urgent military matter for the Red Dragon Palace in the south. The first thing Rafael did when he came back was to issue the corresponding orders, and he also needed to confirm the current situation of the army.
Fisher did not follow her in, but waited for her in the city and observed the situation here.
The city that grew up here did not have a specific name. Even after living there for several years, this was not a long-term residence for the Red Dragon Palace, so the name of their original stronghold continued here: Higurashi Valley.
But in fact, it is still quite far away from the Higurashi Valley where the real bat species live.
Originally, the Red Dragon Palace had not yet raised its troops, and was hiding its power in the southernmost Rimu Valley near the edge of the coast. However, since Rafael ignited the war in the Southern Continent and emerged in front of the world, Nimu Valley has been regarded as a lost place and was used by many people in the Western Continent.
warships bombed.
Even if they hid under the ground, they could not escape Shivali's cannons and magic, so later on, they moved some distance north, entering the hinterland under the mountains, and used the original Higurashi Valley as a line of defense.
At this time, many different kinds of demi-humans were walking through Higurashi Valley City. Of course, there were also humans among them. That’s why Rafael said that it would be much more convenient after coming here. At least he wouldn’t be able to wait on the street at this moment.
It will appear abrupt, that is, some demihuman women often seem to wonder when a handsome human male appeared here.
Of course, Fisher didn't think that their gazes were between men and women, he guessed that they just suspected that he might be a spy from the north.
The residents here are dressed simply and are all busy. It seems that everyone is operating as efficiently as a part in a machine.
"Fisher."
Just as he and Emhard were looking around, Rafael also came back behind her, but it was different from the conspicuous appearance in armor when she came. At this moment, she put on a light red robe and covered herself with
Everything is covered.
Immediately afterwards, she also put the robe on Fisher's body, turning their two clothes into a "couple suit."
"Raphael?"
Fisher glanced at Rafael, whose face was hidden under the cloak. The brim of the cloak was loose, just enough to accommodate the soul horns on her head, preventing them from popping out suddenly.
"This is the costume of the Wishing Tower. Like you, I can't just show my face, otherwise we will be surrounded soon... When I came back before, I always came back with the army. The people watching next to me can
Blocking up the streets, there was almost an accident a few years ago... That's it, you and I won't notice."
Rafael looked at the bustling city around him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
It can be seen that she has put a lot of effort into establishing Longting. She wants such peace to spread throughout the Southern Continent so that they will no longer be scattered and bullied like in the past.
Of course, they will also have conflicts with each other, but the main conflict now is between Green Dragon Court and Na Li in the north.
"They love you very much..."
"I don't know either."
Fisher smiled slightly and glanced at the grown-up dragon next to him again. Without saying anything, he just followed her to the next stop, the Household Court.
"...Because the war is not over yet, in order to directly allocate resources to the greatest extent, the wartime system is still adopted here. For many things, the Prayer Tower requires the direct intervention and handling of Longting officials. The Household Affairs Court is
Such an existence, Mill is working in it now."
Not long after, with such a word-for-word introduction, the two of them had passed through the streets and the busy residents of Red Dragon Court, and arrived at the depths of the city, the heart of Red Dragon Court.
In the past, in the glorious and vast Fermat Baharon, these existing administrative agencies were not only separated from each other, but also had parallel projections to the lower levels.
In the past, the Four Branches Dragon Tribe was a unit under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Court, and there were also agencies under it that performed the same responsibilities. Not only were they under the management of the Four Branches Dragon Court, but they were also directly subordinate to the Ferma Baha Dragon Court. In the past
During the years, this system helped Ferma Baharontine properly manage the Southern Continent until their demise.
This also made it difficult for Fisher to imagine that a unified country with such a perfect system and culture would disappear into the long river of history overnight.
But he also understood that behind this speed that exceeded ordinary imagination and rules, there must be extraordinary power.
For example, according to Rafael, if the Dragon God of Fima Baha is still alive and still lying in the ruins of the Dragon Palace, then why did he not take action when the Dragon Palace perished? Is it because the dragon race is better than the other two species?
These myths are weak, so Fermat Bach, who advocates strength and brutality, does not value them?
Fisher doesn't think so. Fema Baharonting believes in him as the source of god and bloodline, so it's not just wishful thinking...
In other words, the problems faced by Longting at that time were so serious that even the results that Fisher saw today were already achieved by Fermat Bach.
If this is the case, it means that a demigod can still not protect the Longting created by his own heir...
Is it because of the Mother Goddess?
Is it because of the fellow demigods he fought with?
Or is it because like in the ideal country...
In any case, now that time has passed, the Red Dragon Palace that lives here is no longer able to recreate the various institutions of the past. It can only take the names they inherited. In fact, they are all in one place at the moment——
That is under the prayer tower.
"We're here, Fisher."
Fisher's thoughts were pulled back by Rafael's reminder. He looked up and saw that standing at the heart of the Red Dragon Pavilion was a tall building made entirely of stone.
The building is simple, and signs of rush work can be clearly seen, which corresponds to the situation when the Dragon Courts were forced to retreat to the south for confrontation. But even so, it can still be seen that the stone tower and the surrounding buildings look like a clawed man.
The giant dragon, this foreign cultural building that is coming towards you is completely different from the building like the Green Dragon Pavilion that looks like the god of Nali.
There were walls guarding it, and there were heavily armed soldiers standing outside the door. However, under the leadership of Rafael, the Dragon Queen, Fisher and Emhardt, who was looking curiously in his arms, were successfully led.
Got in.
The sizing eyes of the soldiers behind him were keenly sensed by Fisher. Obviously, they were also curious about who the person hiding under the cloak and standing next to the Dragon Queen was...
If it weren't for his height, they might have thought it was Priest Jasmine.
As Rafael entered the prayer tower, the hall on the first floor was spacious, and there were many demihumans working inside. Fisher even saw obvious division of labor areas on the wall.
Household Court, War Court, Magic Court, Prayer Tower, King's Court...
As Rafael moved forward, after the office area reached the royal court at the rear, the number of people around became much smaller, and Rafael was finally able to put down the cloak on his head.
"It's good to be here. There are no outsiders here. It's also the usual place for me to live in the royal court..."
"Lord Rafael! You are back!"
"Lord Raphael!"
Fisher's ears twitched slightly, and Emhardt in his arms flew out and landed on Fisher's shoulders as if watching a play. But for some reason, when he saw the two figures appearing in the distance, he felt a little nervous.
He looked away in disappointment.
I saw two white dragons who were as tall as Rafael. They were both wearing white short robes and each had a short sword at their waist. Behind them, they were taller than Rafael.
The longer and thinner tails swayed slightly, revealing their excitement when they saw Rafael. Their faces were about 90% similar, and there were two branches on the left and right foreheads respectively, emitting milky white light.
of long horns.
At this moment, they each held a draconic baby in their arms, one big and one small, but they were all no more than three years old. They had yellow dragon scales sparsely growing on their bodies, and they looked dull and quite cute. They just
Staying like this in the arms of the two draconians, looking curiously at Rafael in the distance and Fisher next to her...
Yes, the two draconians who appeared in front of them were the personal guards Fahir and Kehir who were also captured with Rafael at that time. Five years later, the two of them, who were already older than Lal, also
It has passed the coming-of-age ceremony and has grown horns that represent the dragon's strength.
"Master Rafael, Master Yaliel came here before, and by the way, she wanted to see Sister Mir's baby..."
"Then Sister Mill brought me, but Hal was already in school, so I only brought Li Er and Luo Er..."
"But after Lord Yaliel left, Sister Mir seemed to be busy with something urgent just now, so she temporarily left Li Er and Luo Er in our care..."
"Master Rafael, you don't know, they are really making trouble, I...hey, Fe...Fei Fisher?!"
"Yes, yes, they are really... Fisher?!
"
As in the past, even after they became adults, Fahir and Kehir continued to talk to each other as if they were connected. Coupled with their almost identical looks and expressions, sometimes they really misunderstood who they were.
who is it...
But what's better than before is that they now have horns, one on the left and one on the right, which can be used as a clear sign of distinction.
When they saw the smiling Fisher appearing next to Rafael, the two draconian sisters who were crying and complaining all shut down at the same time. After several seconds, Hill finally spoke,
"Could it be...could it be that the Nali ghost came?"
"So fast? I...I didn't hear anything..."
Rafael's previously smiling expression darkened instantly. If they hadn't been holding children in their hands, she might have really punched them.
"Fischer just came to see me. He has nothing to do with Nali's matter. Don't you still trust him?"
At this point, their stunned expressions instantly dissipated. They also smiled and said to Fisher in Nari language,
"I'm just kidding... I didn't expect to see you after so long..."
"Welcome back, Fisher Benavidez."
Fisher also nodded and replied,
"It's rare that you not only learned the Nali language, but also remembered my full name...Long time no see, Fahir, Kehir."
"Humph, understanding the enemy is the first step to defeating the enemy."
"And if you have ever met Lal, you will know that that guy is amazing. He is obviously not yet an adult, but he is so good at fighting..."
Rafael looked around, temporarily interrupted their greetings, and said,
"Fischer was discovered by Lal. Okay, okay, you can be the nanny to these two little ones for the time being. When Mir comes back, I will ask her to help Fisher deal with walking in the Dragon Court."
What about her identity... But speaking of it, maybe she got busy because of the order I gave in the military camp earlier."
"Military camp? By the way, Sir Rafael is back this time..."
"The Nari people and the Puppet Ting gang are moving..." Kehir and Fahir's expressions were a little more serious, but before that, Rafael shook his head and said, "No need.
Worry, I came back just to deal with this matter. Before that, Fisher, you stay here temporarily, I want to tell her the surprise of my reunion with you, she should be in the royal court..."
Needless to say, that "she" is the good sister priest mentioned by Rafael before.
"good."
Fisher nodded and watched Rafael turn around and leave excitedly, but before she took a few steps, the end of her tail behind her turned half a circle as if to remind her of her thoughts, and then she seemed to be
The tail turned his head and looked at Fisher.
At this moment, her eyes were a little evasive and her face was a little red. Just when Fisher was still wondering what she had to say, she suddenly spoke,
"Then, after that... Fisher, you... the two of us, follow me to a place... to Wanhua Courtyard..."
"Wan Hua Ting?"
Fisher was a little confused, but in front of him, Rafael blushed and nodded.
Kehir, who was holding Mir's child with one hand next to him, smiled slightly, and then reminded him,
"Fisher, that is the holy land of our dragon race. Not only is it the location of the school open to dragon race and other ethnic groups, but you don't know that the names of our dragon race's newborns will be registered there.
The elders have given... The most important thing is that Rafael’s mother, Lady Yaliel whom we mentioned before, is in charge of it.”
Fahir also chuckled and said,
"Lord Rafael, I want to take you to see her mother."
Fisher was stunned for a moment, and understood the deep meaning of Rafael's move. But when he turned his head to look, he saw that the Dragon Queen's face was a little pinker, and her eyes were even more evasive, but her words were as firm as ever.
"It's just... I'm just taking him to see what's going on there. You... okay, just stay here until I introduce you to my good sister..."
A little thin steam lingered around Rafael's body, and then she turned around with her tail wagging, and hurried away towards the distance as if running away.
On his shoulders, Emhard, who was looking around, suddenly became energetic for some reason, bouncing around, as if he was doing preparatory exercises like stretching. He didn't know if he was tired from being in Fisher's arms.
.
Fisher, on the other hand, watched as Rafael's back disappeared little by little, and he couldn't help but smile a little.
In fact, it was not that he had no experience meeting the girl's parents before.
As early as when he was young, when he fell in love with Yin Lisabai at the Royal Academy, he entered the Golden Palace to meet Yin Lisabai's relatives and father. However, it does not need to be explained that it was not a beautiful experience.
remember.
At that time, he saw the disappointment of bringing home his beloved lover with great expectations, only to be ridiculed openly and secretly by the relatives he trusted and relied on the most.
This pressure was difficult even for Fisher to face at the time, not to mention it was at a public banquet. The Gedelin royal family did not dare to look down too much on this young man who had become a student of Hailsham.
Fisher might have guessed that what Lisa Bai faced in private at that time was a hundred times more obstruction than he had. But even so, after that failed meeting, she still did not give up on Fisher.
, and even made a "universal request" for him that represented her passionate emotions...
She stubbornly and desperately did not let go, but the one who let go was Fisher who didn't know everything at the time but feels guilty now.
Fisher had learned his previous lessons, so at this moment he was not worried that Rafael's mother might be disappointed with him, a human of a different race from a hostile country. Rather, he was sure that the other party would definitely be disappointed with him.
There is no way, even if the other party is so generous that he doesn't care about his race and nationality, it is enough for him to just know that he is a greedy and unrestrained bad person.
The buffs on my body are almost stacked up. If the other party has a normal mind, he will definitely object.
But Rafael's willingness to do this has already shown her feelings for him, just like Lisa Bai did many years ago...
But this time, I won't let go no matter what.
...
...
Rafael walked quickly in the corridor of the royal court, passing by the lifelike ancient murals of Longting and the true face of Fema Bach.
It's shameful to say that she didn't know anything when she entered the ruins. She only focused on the true form of the Dragon God that seemed to pop out from myths and legends. Her sister was so careful that she even recorded all the murals that appeared along the way.
In my heart, it reappears here.
It was precisely these orthodox paintings and documents that were unknown to the Northern Dragon Court that caused many demihumans scattered around to take refuge in Raphael's Dragon Court, and they did not abandon them even after the defeat.
As Bull sang, even in Rafael's heart, the sister's friendship with her was even greater.
"Da da da..."
Rafael quickly walked through the corridors of the royal court and arrived in front of the palace, where she usually handled affairs. After Rafael went to the front line to garrison, she completely left this place to her trusted priest sisters.
, to this day, I don’t even worry about her seizing her power.
And just as she expected, she soon saw a figure writing something in front of the table in the hall.
That was a sub-race that was completely different from the creatures in the Southern Continent. Rafael had known about it a long time ago. She was a sub-race from the ocean. Every once in a while, this friend would even come back.
Take a swim in the sea.
Just from a distance, the gentle and humble aura of the other party spread out.
Like a silent spring rain that moistens things, making people feel comfortable; like a soft and close embrace, making people feel warm.
Rafael's pace slowed down little by little, but he still couldn't stop walking into the hall and looked at the blue-haired girl in front of the table who was recording something and whose long ears were shaking on the side of her cheeks.
Compared with before, like Rafael, her appearance has not changed much, and she still has some cute baby fat on her face. But after experiencing many things in Longting, she is no longer as green and helpless as she was when she first came ashore.
Helped.
The young and beautiful face of the whale race, which seems to have never been damaged by time, coupled with the soul that has weathered a little, adds a contradictory but not obtrusive soul to it.
Yes, this demi-human girl who is currently the Dragon Court Priest is...
"Jasmine!"
"Hey, Rafael? Are you back from the front?"
The girl sitting in front of the eucalyptus was stunned for a moment, temporarily withdrawing from the busy affairs in front of her. When she saw the red-haired dragon standing at the door, she instantly stood up and greeted him with a smile on her face.
He said to her,
"Is there any urgent information that needs to be processed, so you were asked to take the emergency road and come back in person?"
Rafael opened his arms and hugged her for a moment, then she took a step back and said,
"That's true...but before that, I have to tell you a surprise."
"surprise?"
Jasmine smiled and looked at Rafael in front of her with some doubts. But she was very happy to see her, then nodded and asked,
"Yes, Jasmine...do you still remember the agreement we made several years ago?"
Yes, the agreement...
At that time, I had just arrived at Longting, and I learned that the situation of this dragon race with a heavy responsibility was very similar to my own.
They are all waiting and pursuing someone, and they are all working hard for their goals...
So they agreed to help each other, to become the people they wanted to be in their hearts, and to achieve the goals they wanted to achieve.
This vision has never been forgotten by Jasmine until today.
She has been practicing in the world on the shore for so long, and has been accumulating strength to improve her rank and state of mind...
"Rafael, you mean..."
Could it be that Rafael has already waited for the person she wanted to wait for?
Although the battle situation in Longting is not going well at this time, even so, waiting for the person in my heart is still a joyful thing.
If this is the case, Jasmine is also happy for the other party from the bottom of her heart.
Rafael in front of her smiled slightly, but couldn't bear to spend any more time on the explanation that seemed redundant at the moment. They had been sisters for many years, and sometimes they could understand each other with just one look. So, she just held Jasmine's hand, while
He took her outside and said with a smile,
"Jasmine, just come with me and we'll find out."
"OK."
Seeing how happy the sister in front of her was, Jasmine smiled helplessly and had no choice but to put down what she was doing and follow her.
Quickly returning along the original road, the eagerness to share the joy, the eagerness to let her know her beloved...
For many years, they had endured not telling each other, for fear that they would hesitate and become anxious halfway through the journey.
But now, I can finally introduce the person I have been waiting for to him solemnly.
Their steps were very fast, so the hall where Fisher and Fasher were standing before quickly appeared in their eyes.
Then came out the handsome Nari gentleman, Fisher, who was dealing with the lively baby in the arms of the dragon sisters.
He was talking to Fasher and the others, and there was a strange living book on his shoulder who had been looking in this direction.
He is of the mythical rank, so of course he can hear the voice of the visitor, so he has already looked over there...
But just for a second, the human gentleman and the book on his shoulder had different expressions.
Fisher's face suddenly stiffened, as if he had suddenly seen some horrifying scene. For a moment, even someone as powerful as a mythical person could not move at all; and the book on his shoulder... well
, surprisingly showed a happy expression of "Ah, I finally feel comfortable"...
In the corridor, Rafael and Jasmine also had different expressions.
Rafael first looked at Jasmine beside him, then smiled and looked ahead, at the lover he had been waiting for for a long time.
Then she gently let go of Jasmine's wrist beside her, and stretched out her hand towards Fisher, whose expression and posture became stiff in front of her. This was an action to introduce each other to the sisters beside her.
It was precisely this sudden turn of head and introduction that prevented Rafael from noticing anything strange about the sister next to him.
In fact, before she and Rafael walked out of the corridor, she had already sharply spotted the figure of the lake in the distance. Her heart almost stopped and she could hardly maintain her breathing.
Previously, she thought that Rafael had found the lover she had been waiting for for a long time, but...but that figure really seemed...
So, of course, another conjecture came to her mind.
Could it be that Teacher Fisher heard about what happened to him in the Southern Continent, so he traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Continent, hoping to find himself?
So, he came to the front line and met Rafael Fisher who was stationed there. The teacher was very powerful, so Rafael and the others should not be able to take him down easily. Only then did he have the opportunity to tell Rafael about him and himself.
Fael...
So, actually, this is the surprise that Rafael was talking about!?
At this moment, Rafael looked at Fisher in front of him, smiled and introduced to Jasmine beside him,
"Jasmine, let me introduce to you, this is Fisher Benavidez, my husband..."
But just as she spoke, Jasmine, who was moved to tears next to her, ran out first, passed Rafael's introducing hand, and ran straight to hers in Rafael's slightly surprised eyes.
husband.
Then, she suddenly plunged into Fisher's arms, and amid the unexpected looks of everyone except Fisher and Emhardt, she hugged Fisher tightly, who had been away for a long time.
"Teacher Fisher!
"
The smile on Rafael's face instantly froze and turned into unbelievable and horrifying astonishment.
And the hand she extended to introduce before was still frozen in mid-air.
The tail behind her suddenly drooped down, and then the entire dragon became as motionless as a statue...
And Jasmine was hugging Fisher tightly and burying her head deeply in Fisher's arms. The only fault was that she was too excited. The joy that she had been away from for so long was too difficult to describe.
, even enough to cover everything in her heart.
Therefore, she didn't notice that Fisher's body in front of her was so stiff at this moment. She didn't notice that the expression on the face of Sir Shu, who was so mean at this moment, was even snickering to an unknown extent. She didn't notice that the hall was in the hall at this moment.
The interior has turned into a dead silence that makes even a pin drop sound like thunder...
Even the two Myr babies in the arms of Fahir and Kehir seemed to understand the atmosphere, so they used one of their little paws as a pacifier and stuffed it into their mouths, timidly.
He looked towards Fisher.
At this moment, Jasmine, who still didn't know everything, turned her head with tears in her eyes in great excitement and looked at Rafael who was frozen in place like a zombie.
She wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes and choked to her with excitement and gratitude,
"Raphael... Wuwu, thank you... I really appreciate this surprise... Wuwu... Thank you, Rafael..."
