The moment he felt Milika hugging him, Fisher was slightly startled, but he still gently stretched out his hand to support her shoulders and opened a more polite distance. It was at this moment that he had the opportunity to get closer.
He looked at the student in front of him whom he had not seen for a long time from a distance.
"Long time no see, Milika."
"You are the one, Teacher Fisher. I have been worried about you since you and Jasmine left St. Mary's and Her Majesty Elizabeth canceled your wanted order, especially Isabel. I heard that she seemed to have been kidnapped by pirates at sea.
I don’t know her either.”
"She should be fine now. I left Isabel in the care of the Iceberg Queen. She has a very good relationship with me."
"That's it"
Seeing that Milika in front of him had no tendency to come closer, Fisher gently let go of her shoulders. After all, he had promised Rafael not to have contact with new women before, not to mention that he had promised Rafael not to have contact with new women for a long time.
He had always regarded Milika as just a student he knew, so naturally he could not act as recklessly as Emhardt thought. He just said,
"I'll be back this time"
"Mr. Fisher must have come back this time to attend Master Hailsham's funeral, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Milica spoke in advance, making him nod and admit,
"Well, because I haven't been back for a long time, I only know the news about the teacher through friends overseas. I have just arrived in Saint-Nali, and I don't know much about the situation in recent years. So, what kind of person is Teacher Hailsen in these years?
what's the situation?"
"Well, in fact, Master Hailsham announced his retirement not long after Mr. Fisher left Saint-Nali, and refused the invitation of Her Majesty Elizabeth and the members of the new Griffin Party to stay, so he returned to his hometown of Chittel City.
He spent his old age there. After that, Master Hailsham did not often appear in the public eye until this time when he suddenly passed away."
Fisher looked at Milika in front of him. After a moment of silence, he still asked,
"In other words, Teacher Hailsson is real."
"Hey, of course it's true." Milica heard Fisher's question. She didn't react at first, but after a second or two, she opened her mouth and said, "Are you worried about Her Majesty Elizabeth?"
""
Fisher didn't respond, but it was more like acquiescence, which made Milica more and more sure. Even though there were only two of them in the room, she still had to turn her head and look around, as if she was afraid that someone else would hear it.
,
"Well, Mr. Fisher, the death of Master Hailsson should be true, because a week ago, my father sent church personnel to Chittel City. Not only did he confirm his death, but he also took over the funeral.
But Mr. Fisher, if you go to the funeral, you should really be careful about Her Majesty Elizabeth. Since she came to power, I always feel that she has become more and more terrifying, especially this year. Even my father dare not
Went to see her."
"horrible?"
"Well, in short, I can't tell. A few years ago, my father took me to her birthday party, but every time I saw her, I would have a creepy feeling. I always felt like she was staring at me all the time. Every time I
When I had this thought, my body felt as stiff as turning into stone, so I didn't dare to go there anymore. Although the people loved her very much, neither my father, Principal Damian, nor the ministers also
They are all becoming more and more afraid of her.”
Milica hesitated for a moment, glanced at Fisher cautiously, and finally whispered,
"They are secretly saying that Her Majesty Elizabeth has been cursed because she killed too many blood relatives and is no longer a human being."
""
From Milica's mouth, Fisher was able to get a glimpse of the current views of Elizabeth from the upper class of Saint-Elysees, which seemed to be very different from the personal worship of her by the ordinary people of Saint-Lenis and the middle class.
Of course, perhaps the reason for these fears for those people comes from the prosthetic eyes that Elizabeth now wears.
After experiencing what happened thousands of years ago, Fisher knew that the prosthetic eyes seemed to be related to the archangel Pandora who died in the ideal country.
So here comes the question. Pandora and Lemuel died underground together in the Utopia, so how was that holy object forged? What’s more, it seemed to be a teardrop holy object (Emhard had previously said that it could be with her
exchange), could it be said that it was forged by the angel later finding another teardrop that disappeared in the Utopia?
He forgot to ask Helaire about this at the time. Although she did not know how to forge holy objects, she should know the history of that time very well.
"I know, yes, there is one more thing"
After that, Fisher did not forget to show the map to Milica, and she lived up to his expectations. As a child who grew up under the influence of the archbishop, her father took her in and out of this ordinary place more than once.
People had no chance to come to the cathedral, so she quickly recognized where the place drawn on the map was.
The location of the things that the demihumans left for Fisher is under the cathedral, the resting place for the souls of devout believers.
Hearing this answer, Fisher seemed a little surprised. This also meant that the things left to him by the Asian girl were under the storage place of Teresa's ashes. The resting place of the church is divided into two parts: above ground and underground.
This part, on the ground, is mainly used as a place to pay tribute to the family and friends of the sleeper. This is the place where Fisher went when he visited Teresa in the past.
Entry to that place is also strictly restricted. Not only are the family members of the sleeper eligible to enter, but reservations are also required to enter. Of course, powerful people like Elizabeth are not required. When Fisher met Elizabeth for the first time
It's right there.
As for the underground, as the true resting place for the souls of devout believers in the Mother Goddess Religion, all outsiders are prohibited from entering, which is Fisher's real destination this time.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look now. As for you later?"
After getting the answer, Fisher quickly stood up. He thanked Milica. After a few words of greeting to confirm her current status and get the answers he needed, he was ready to leave, and Milika.
Lika pursed her lips, looked at him and suddenly interrupted,
"Wait a minute, Mr. Fisher, my father and I are going to attend Master Hailsham's funeral later. I can take you in, and maybe we can avoid Her Majesty Elizabeth."
"This will give your father a headache."
If this little guy's father knew that she was going to get involved in the affairs between him and Elizabeth, he would probably forget all the teachings of the Mother Goddess and give Milica a severe punishment.
Milika stuck out her tongue when she heard this, but she didn't refute, but she still said with some reluctance,
"This is what I want to help you, and it has nothing to do with my father."
"Yes, but your father is related to you. He loves you very much, don't let him down."
"He doesn't love me, he loves his position as archbishop."
Fisher was noncommittal and just smiled and said,
"If he didn't love you, he wouldn't have asked me to tutor you in math. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that your math skills are hopeless. But at least he didn't give up on treatment and was willing to spend a lot of money to try.
Although it failed in the end.”
"Teacher Fisher!! If you do this again, I will accuse you of sneaking into the Saint's boudoir!! And I will tell Her Majesty Elizabeth about this!"
Milika's face turned red, she clenched her fists angrily and complained. She was so angry that she was exposed, but Fisher had already walked to the door at this moment and smiled again and said,
"Then the unlucky one must be you first."
"Huh, you don't know how true I can make it up."
"No, it's because you don't understand Elizabeth."
Fisher was about to open the door and leave, but behind him, Milika's voice came after hesitating for a moment,
"Also, Teacher Fisher, do you know what has happened to Jasmine in recent years? Has she returned to the sea? No, has she been affected in any way?"
Fisher was stunned for a moment, then turned his head again to look at Milika who was a little worried on the bed. Obviously, she hadn't let go of what happened five years ago. Her two friends all moved away overnight.
her life.
But maybe now, with Fisher's return, everything should become a little easier,
"She's fine, I promise."
"Really"
Finally, Milica couldn't help but smile, and said with a somewhat relieved smile,
"That's great."
"Oh my God, Fisher, you know, I was almost ready to tell that little human girl about how you took care of Jasmine and put her on the bed, called Milika? I'm really curious about what will happen after she finds out.
An expression."
Fisher changed his appearance once again and walked silently in the corridor of the church. He was not familiar with the complex structure here, so he could only follow the few reference objects in his memory as far as possible.
The destination was approaching, and at this moment, Emhardt, who had been hanging up in his arms, finally poked his head out and muttered.
Fisher glanced at him and said expressionlessly,
"Although you have been accusing Heller most of the time, I actually think you are still infected by her, right? Your "fear of chaos in the world" look is exactly the same as hers. You have become her fan.
Brother?"
"Bah, bah, bah! What a bad luck! I just seek truth from facts, okay? Baimeng does it for fun, and likes to fabricate and deceive. Can this be the same? Don't accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air!"
"Haha, seek truth from facts." Fisher smiled sarcastically, and then said, "Didn't you say before that I was going to do something to the students again? Haven't you seen my attitude towards Milika now? Is this also your approach to seek truth from facts?
"
"No, I think the reason why you don't have feelings for her is just because she is not a demi-human."
""
Emhardt said with great certainty, with dead fish eyes. Fisher was silent for a moment, as if he had run out of words to refute, and it was not until several seconds later that he continued to respond,
"What about Elizabeth? I like her because she has some demi-human blood in her?"
"Why do you think the eighteen-year-old you are the same person as you are now? You sounded pretty innocent to me at that time, but now, I can't say, what are you going to do? I can't explain it.
!!”
Fisher gently stretched out his hand and gave him a sense of heavenly knowledge, causing him to angrily shrink back into his suit to avoid Fisher's clutches.
And Fisher really didn't bother to tease him anymore, because at this moment, after bypassing many guards outside, he had already arrived in front of the Dormition Memorial Hall in the church.
He had been coming in and out of this place frequently since he was eighteen years old, but it was different from the route he took to the Saint Choir Dormitory. He had always entered through another door before. Perhaps Sir Shu was right,
It is true that he is no longer the eighteen-year-old Fisher, at least at that time it would have been quite natural for him to not enter and leave the Saint's dormitory like this.
Just looking at the place in front of him that he had not seen for a long time, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his expression became a little solemn.
It was lunch break time in the afternoon, so there was no one on duty near the memorial hall, so he directly opened the door of the memorial hall, revealing a large stone wall with the names of the sleepers engraved on it, as well as a statue of the mother goddess in the center of the stone wall.
His steps couldn't help but slow down, until the door behind him slowly closed. Emhardt in his arms saw no one getting out of his arms, and stood on his right shoulder familiarly, looking around curiously.
He came to the front of a wall, and at the edge of that wall, on a small stone box, everything he had done before he was eighteen years old was engraved.
[Thank you for giving me a home when I was lonely. Even if you have left and I am alone again, you will always be my family.]
[In memory of: Teresa Benavides, a great and devout nun.]
【Fisher Benavidez】
Here is the tombstone of Mother Teresa, the memorial place where she fell asleep.
"Is this the resting place of Teresa? Wait, haven't we been away for five years? Look, there is a lot of burned ashes under this stone box. Could it be that besides you, there are others she raised?
Will the orphan come to visit her?"
Emhard turned his head and asked, and Fisher also raised his eyebrows in surprise. He shook his head and said,
"I took care of everything about Teresa. No one else in the church school was too lazy to participate in the cumbersome church burial process. They didn't even know where Teresa was sleeping, but there should be a record of the priest's confession there.
.”
At the end of the day, Fisher was still a little unsure, so he walked to the wooden table in front of the stone monument and checked the record of the sermon delivered by the priest on duty here. As part of the appointment, the family members of the believers brought over the prayers to be burned.
All words should be recorded.
Following the serial number on Teresa's tombstone, Fisher quickly flipped through the record book. The next second, he opened his mouth. There was obviously some surprise. Even Emhardt on his shoulder blinked.
Then he immediately turned to look at him.
Because above the record, the same name was clearly written in a row: Elizabeth Gedlin.
One month ago, I burned one copy of the notice; two months ago, I burned two copies of the notice; four months ago, I burned one copy of the notice.
In the long run, although this record book only records this year's situation, it is obvious that in the five years since Fisher left Nali, she has been coming here to burn the memorial for Theresa on behalf of Fisher who was unable to come here.
word.
Generally speaking, speeches tell what the living want to say to the dead. Although Fisher does not know what Elizabeth wrote for Theresa, it may just convey Fisher's current situation, or it may simply replace
Fisher expresses his thoughts about Teresa
But at least, she has been here to replace Fisher over the years to perform his unfulfilled duties.
"Okay, now I have to admit that your liking for Elizabeth may have nothing to do with the so-called demi-human ancestry."
Emhard blinked and commented like this. And Fisher couldn't help but look up at the rows of tables and chairs in front of the Mother Goddess Statue. Somewhere behind those tables and chairs, many years ago,
One afternoon, that was where they met for the first time.
"let's go."
"Oh okay."
After being silent for a while, Fisher slowly closed the confession book in front of him. Then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned towards the unattended underground area.
The underground tomb was connected to the ground only by a corridor isolated by a wooden door. Fisher searched for a long time before he found the locked wooden door.
Gently reaching out and breaking it open, the lock fell to the ground like fragments, revealing some cold space below.
Fisher caught Emhardt, and after he looked back at Fisher with his dead fish eyes, he floated silently, his whole body lit up with golden light, like a small floating lamp.
It also illuminates the space below.
The bottom is more like a basement. There are countless bottles and cans piled up on the ground. They are all covered with dust. It is obvious that no one has cleaned this place for a long time.
The surroundings were dry and cold. Emhard looked around, but did not find anything that seemed like a secret room. Except for ashes, they were ashes. He couldn't help shaking his body and turned around and asked,
"Isn't there a mistake? There is nothing here in such a narrow place. And didn't the little human girl say that this place was built later? Even if your predecessor left something behind, it might have been demolished.
.”
"Impossible, she is not an ordinary person."
The demi-human sissy has lived for so long, chatting and laughing with Gelsemium, angels, elves and other mythical species. Just seeing that she is so incompetent but still alive for so long, you can see that her ability is extraordinary. How could the things she left behind be used by a group of people?
The human construction team was demolished.
It's only possible that they haven't discovered the location of the secret room yet.
But the problem is that Sidi said that he needs to go to the designated location, write the runes and recite the runes to open the secret room, but the place is full of ashes and empty, where should he write?
Fisher's mind was spinning with the writing and reading of the runes that he had memorized many times. As he thought about it, he suddenly realized that the so-called "rune" seemed to be a word from the language used by the demi-human nymphomancer.
Word.
If you haven't found something writing the runes for a long time, then it is very likely that this is a riddle, and it is very likely that the answer to the riddle is hidden in the meaning of this rune.
Although Fisher didn't know the specific meaning of this rune, don't forget that his phone had just gained a brand-new function, which could translate the language used by the demi-human nymphomaniac.
Thinking of this, he quickly reached out and took out the one hidden in his arms. While opening it, he reached out and manipulated the surface of his fingers to twist, and drops of blood seeped out as ink to write the symbol.
"Female" and "Horse".
He wrote the square symbol on the page of the book one by one. Then, he softly spoke and read out the rhyme of the symbol,
"ma"
"Buzz buzz"
The next second, on the page, the Chinese characters written with Fisher's blood began to twist as expected, which meant that it did represent some specific meaning and was being translated.
And at the end, the blood-red text gradually changed into Nali language that Fisher could recognize, meaning:
"Mother"
The moment he saw the words, Fisher's pupils shrank slightly, he frowned, and said in Nali in disbelief,
"Mother?"
"Kakaka!"
The moment he spoke, directly in front of the underground tomb, with the distortion of a strange force, a door that seemed to be hidden in an undetectable secret slowly showed its specific shape and appeared in the
