49. Curtain barrier(1/2)
"Mr. Fisher, have the Angels of Heller arrived already?"
"Well, it should be."
Fisher and Karasawa Asuka followed Nekoria, who was holding the little phoenix Neferamui, and walked along the bottom of the waterfall. There was a corresponding road going down, but it seemed that it was rarely used, and it was covered with grass.
There was a thick layer of moss, and Neferamui trampled on a lot of innocent moss just now when she trotted up.
Phoenixes fly most of the time, which Fisher has already seen in the frost and snow sycamore trees.
But as if to take care of the two wingless humans behind him, Nekolia also walked in front carrying a spear. Not long after, Fisher and Karasawa Asuka saw a very tall tree in front of the waterfall.
There were many exquisite houses built in the air around the big tree, but compared with the frost and snow sycamore trees in the north, they seemed too simple.
"Humans, where did you come from? Did you come from outside the Wutong Kingdom?"
In the silence, the "little Phoenix King" sucking his fingers blinked, and suddenly asked Fisher and Karasawa Asuka curiously.
Asuka Karasawa glanced at Fisher, and seeing that he was silent, she nodded with a smile and said,
"Well, we are coming from the Sanctuary... Although I don't know where the Sanctuary is specifically, it should be quite far away from the Tree Continent, right?"
"That's it... Well, I'm curious about what the outside world looks like. I don't like Tree Continent at all. The elves here are very fierce. My grandfather died because of the elves, and my mother
I often cry secretly alone at night... Recently, my father has not allowed us to go out, and even our brothers who are officials outside have called back..."
Is it because of the changes in the royal capital of Shuda Continent?
Fisher suddenly thought of something, and he turned to Nekolia, who was holding Neferamui expressionlessly, and asked,
"All the Phoenix species have returned to their hometowns. Is it because you have seen a changed future?"
"?"
Neferamui still held her fingers in her mouth and tilted her head in confusion. Even her cold-faced sister turned her head, not understanding what Fisher was talking about at all.
"The future? You mean..."
"Well, can't you see your destiny?"
Nekolia glanced at Fisher, then slowly looked away, shook his head and denied,
"We don't have such ability, we are just very good at fighting. You may have remembered it wrong."
"..."
Fisher was slightly startled when he heard this and fell silent for a moment.
Although Fisher didn't say anything, he thought to himself how could he remember wrongly? His wife used to be a mutilated phoenix species and could see the future, but you are her ancestors and you can't?
What kind of truth is this?
Just now he saw that Nekolia believed in him so much that he thought they had seen some future and knew that his group might be coming. By the way, he also wanted to get more information about the future from them to make plans. Who knows?
, Nekolia actually said that Phoenix does not have the ability to see the future?
The past of this world is really getting weirder and weirder. First, the demon species did not exist, and now there is a "contradiction" with the future, which suddenly makes Fisher confused.
Although he does know that the Phoenix species' ability to predict the future is acquired. According to them, the Phoenix living in the Eastern Continent, also known as the Tree Continent, gained the ability to predict the future by gazing at the light of the World Tree.
After the roots of the World Tree were stolen by the Dragon God Fima Baha, their entire family followed the roots and migrated to the north, and used the roots to create "Ice", which also allowed future generations to predict the future.
Ability...
Haven't they seen the light of the World Tree yet?
Fisher turned his head and looked towards the center of the continent. There, the illusory world tree as huge as a planet was dyed dazzling gold by the sun, turning it into the most breathtaking scenery in the tree continent. But obviously, that light
It is not the light through which the Phoenixes gain their abilities.
"Teacher Fisher?"
"...It's nothing, I just remembered it wrong."
He suddenly remembered Gelsemium's admonition. He did not reveal anything about the future. He just withdrew his gaze and quietly followed Nekolia towards the giant tree under the waterfall.
...
...
Fisher and Karasawa Asuka followed Nekolia in front and walked up the giant tree. Many phoenixes were also flying towards the giant tree from around the not-so-wide settlement. In addition to their huge wings,
In addition to the trembling sound, there was also the sound of countless ice crystals shining, which brought the surrounding temperature very low. Fisher thought it was okay, but Asuka Karasawa gently hugged his shoulders and kept still.
Mumbling something in a low voice.
"Circle...circle...draw..."
"Is it cold?"
Fisher heard her whisper and thought it was because she simply felt cold, but she shook her head and said,
"It's...it's okay, it's still acceptable."
"So, I thought you couldn't bear the cold."
"No, I'm just remembering the things that Mr. Fisher taught me before... My memory is not very good, and I'm afraid I'll forget it. But I don't know if it's because Mr. Fisher taught me well. I seem to remember these things.
Things are a lot easier.”
Asuka Karasawa touched her head in embarrassment, causing Fisher to take another look at her, but he quickly looked away.
"I forgot to ask, how did you complete that magic alone that night?"
"Hey, actually I don't know either..."
Karasawa Asuka tried hard to recall the state of holding the carving knife that night, and then hesitated for a moment before adding,
"I just feel... like I am writing calligraphy. I keep thinking about the lines that Teacher Fisher carved on the leaves in my mind, and then I finish writing."
"Calligraphy, what is that?"
"Hey, I just use a brush to write and so on. My father is very good at copying Buddhist scriptures. By the way, Teacher Fisher asked the Chinese for clues before. It seems that calligraphy was introduced to Japan from China..."
"So...so, you are good at calligraphy?"
Karasawa Asuka shook her head decisively, and she smiled dryly,
"It probably doesn't count, because my father asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures but I never copied them. I was always lazy."
Fisher didn't ask any more questions, because they had already reached the top of the giant tree under the leadership of Nekolia. This place was similar to Uncle Chun's palace, except that it was completely suspended and hollowed out, making it very convenient for other phoenixes to fly up.
When they arrived, there were already many phoenixes gathered here, all of which had just flown up.
"Father, I met these two humans in the back mountain. They said they came with an angel and were introduced by Uncle Chun to ask for help."
Nekolia put down the little Neferamui in her arms. She waved the bare wings on her back and ran towards the end of the palace in greetings. Along the way were not only her uncles, but also her.
brother and sister...
It seemed that the Phoenix race was quite fertile. Fisher counted carefully and found that including Nekolia and Neferamui, the current Phoenix race leader actually had eight children in total.
On the other hand, after Princess Moon, Prince Ice and Prince Frost reached the mythical level, their only child was stillborn. This difference cannot be said to be insignificant.
"Well, the Lord Angel has already told me the specifics. Nekolia, I'm sorry to trouble you, but it seems that there are two companions of the Lord Angel outside who have not arrived here."
The current Phoenix King who spoke was a middle-aged and elderly man with mostly gray hair. He looked very elegant, but unfortunately, the traces of age still inevitably left many marks on his forehead, an immortal.
"You guys are here. It's not bad. You came earlier than the two of them. How are you? Did anything interesting happen?"
At this time, from the position next to the Phoenix King, the abominable angel Heller with short golden curly hair and wild body was sitting alone on a wooden chair with her legs crossed, and the blue-gold wings on her back were like this
It passed through the back of the chair easily and seemed to have no real shape.
When Karasawa Asuka heard this, she immediately blushed and hugged her body uncomfortably, as if it was so cold here.
"Did you spread us out on purpose?"
But Fisher ignored her teasing and just looked at her with an unkind expression and asked.
The previous politeness towards her mythical level strength was washed away by her extremely bad character. This angelic creature indeed has the magic power to easily make people angry.
But obviously, she is not an angel who would care about such things.
She spread her hands innocently and said,
"How come, even I can make mistakes, okay? It's a big burden on me to teleport so many people at once... But, it's a blessing in disguise, I'll take advantage of this time to be alone
I walked around and took a little vacation."
"...Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."
Fisher quickly calmed down, responded perfunctorily without wanting to pay any attention to her, and soon returned to his previous politeness.
But such a simple courtesy made Heller feel quite disappointed. She crossed her legs with a happy expression, and the fingers holding her chin also tapped her fair cheek. Fisher guessed that if she
Not only would she not care if I continued to argue with her angrily, but she would be even happier because it would be very interesting.
She doesn't seem to like following the rules, because it would be boring.
Fisher vaguely seemed to have grasped a way to control this annoying angel, but at this moment he did not continue, but continued to ask,
"Where have you taken Gelsemium and Mikhail? Why haven't they come here yet?"
"...Ah, how do I know? I already said I didn't mean it. But they shouldn't be too far from here, they will be here soon."
To be continued...
