Chapter 442: Traitor
"Tao is all?"
Asuka Karasawa tilted her head, seemingly entirely uncomprehending the meaning within Lord Tao's words. However she actually faintly perceived profound marvels within the other party's words, yet herself was utterly incapable of comprehending.
The Lord Tao lifting her fan smiled slightly. She lowered her own fan, pointing at the Asuka Karasawa before her eyes stating,
"Fate entangles all things identically to Death, this principle adapts to everything within this world, yet toward Transferred Persons akin to you the effect is actually exceedingly microscopic, just now you have already discovered it haven't you?"
Correct ah, just now Teacher Fisher stated a duration of a prolonged hour had elapsed on their side, yet solely less than ten minutes elapsed on her own side.
She seemingly realized something, subsequently abruptly stating to Lord Tao,
"That peach... you deliberately lured me over?"
"Not considered stupid, Small fry."
Lord Tao stood up from within the water. That petite toddler-like physique even the stream was approaching submerging her chest. Uniquely witnessing her two hands lifted above her head, carefully walking toward the bank within the water, strenuously clambering ashore under the reception of that white-clothed maidservant. Subsequently amidst Asuka Karasawa's astonished gaze, the clothing upon her body instantaneously dried, seemingly reverting to her appearance prior to plummeting into the water.
Fisher had already approximately deduced the matters occurring just now. Asuka Karasawa abruptly vanishing was the doing of this petite-countenanced Elf before his eyes, yet he identically possessed some doubts lacking obtained answers, consequently continuing opening his mouth inquiring,"We possess not exclusively a single Transferred Person, why did you solely locate Asuka Karasawa?"
Lord Tao blinked, speaking un-evasively,
"Small fry, so your name is Asuka Karasawa ah, truly a bizarre name... the reason is highly elementary, because she is the stupidest ah, easiest to be tricked and lured over."
"..."
Asuka Karasawa's complexion flushed instantaneously, both her cheeks bulging. If not for the brat before her eyes already being verified as a Nineteenth-Tier Grand Duke, she largely would have gone to beat her up anew akin to previously.
"Alright, I have approximately acquired what I desire... White Garb, that cohort of Fourteenth-Tier individuals arrived?"
"Yes, Lord Tao. Although the existences of Fourteenth-Tier invariably constitute mainstays within the various nations, yet they are extremely curious regarding the circumstances within the Royal Capital, consequently exceptionally generously permitting them to accompany the envoys here... currently awaiting your disposal at the entrance呢."
"Mm, it's fine, you go out and arrange them first ba, I additionally possess a slight matter to discuss with them."
"Yes."
Following that white-clothed maidservant twisting her head to leave, Lord Tao cast a glance at the Asuka Karasawa still soaking within the water, stating with astonishment,
"Yi, Small fry, you haven't exited the water yet ah? Are you bathing ma?"
"I..."
Hearing these words Asuka Karasawa immediately desired to rise, yet additionally stealthily cast a glance at Teacher Fisher beside her. He seemingly identically realized she was somewhat embarrassed, consequently immediately retracting his line of sight shifting toward the other side. Therefore she identically no longer acted hypocritically, rising walking toward the shore.
Resultingly just having boarded the shore, the clothing upon her body abruptly altered, directly transforming into the white long robe worn previously. The sensation of wetness upon her body identically vanished instantaneously, rendering Asuka Karasawa staring blankly slightly.
"Cease being astonished, follow me, possess a slight matter necessitating your aid."
Fisher and Asuka Karasawa exchanged a glance, lacking any option but to together closely shadow that Lord Tao walking toward the giant peach tree spanning the center. Whilst walking, her tender child voice simultaneously transmitted,
"My nation lies at the extremely extremely distant east from the Royal Capital, identical to other Grand Dukes, during ordinary times prohibited from entering the Royal Capital's environs lacking cause. Even if the King's Reincarnation is imminent, our kind serving as pillars of the continent additionally cannot mobilize a single fraction... yet the present circumstance is distinct. When our kind were located exceptionally remote from the Royal Capital, drastic changes occurred within the Royal Capital..."
Following Lord Tao approaching that giant peach tree spanning the center bit by bit, her figure additionally became increasingly blurry, seemingly the encompassing space was about to sway slightly,
"The specific circumstances us Grand Dukes equivalently entirely lack knowledge to obtain, uniquely obtaining some clues from the mouths of the Royal Capital's close attendants... as early as several years ago, the Death-pursued King grew increasingly close toward Reincarnation. We other Grand Dukes had already experienced Reincarnation, yet the status of the King is distinct, he necessitates caution upon caution regarding Reincarnation. To evade risks, he had invariably been utilizing a certain method Prolonging Life, until present. Although until present the King remains alive, yet his condition definitively is immensely inferior to previously."
Lord Tao unfurled her fan, obscuring her own mouth, ritually obscuring the words of Great Crime or Taboo she was about to utter,
"Speaking with Overstepping, the King is growing increasingly un-clear-headed, consequently leading to brewing an enormous error... the Treasure within Jianmu Palace, the symbol bestowed by 【Mother】, the World Tree Teardrop was stolen, stolen by a Transferred Person secretly housed by the King."
The Tear of the World Tree, truly stolen!
Fisher and Asuka Karasawa perceived instantaneously, their objective arriving at the Tree Continent this time had already been accomplished.
Yet right when Lord Tao solely uttered these words, Fisher and Asuka Karasawa exactly stepped entering the perimeter of the giant peach tree spanning the terminus of the stream. Following expressions of astonishment exposing simultaneously upon the faces of Fisher and Asuka Karasawa, the path behind them instantaneously blockaded by dense peach trees, imprisoning them together with Lord Tao beside this giant peach tree.
Fisher furrowed his brows looking at the peach trees resembling walls of copper and iron behind him, uniquely a single glance he determined, every single peach tree within possessed the intensity of Mythical Rank, relying uniquely upon himself he was absolutely incapable of escaping.
The Tao propping her fan obscuring her countenance before his eyes identically smiled twisting her head, waving her hand, waving out a trail of faint fragrance resembling Peach Blossoms, seemingly the bodily fragrance upon her body,
"No need to foster impatience, it involves uniquely the secret I stated just now even within the Tree Continent uniquely us several Grand Dukes possess knowledge. To insure against mishaps, prior to us attaining consensus you cannot be permitted to exit, lest leaking secrets..."
"Ah?! What consensus... if we don't agree then must we perpetually be imprisoned here ma?"
Moreover together with Teacher Fisher?!
Lord Tao smilingly looked toward her, evidently stating nothing whatsoever, yet seemingly invariably hurling insults calling her "Small fry" or "idiot", entirely un-ceasing since. Solely the gaze induced her to bristle with anger viewing it.
Conversely the Fisher aside pondered for a second, looking toward her inquiring,
"Even if we do not attain any consensus she additionally possesses methods to insure secrets aren't leaked out, moreover she has already displayed the methods numerous times. Your clothing alongside her status plummeting into the water were entirely restored to their past appearances, she is entirely capable of restoring us to the appearance prior to hearing this portion of the secret. Yet since she spoke these words to us, equivalently signifies, she requests our assistance."
The fan within Lord Tao's hands slowly closed. She nodded her head, praising stating,
"I enjoy conversing with intelligent individuals, you this Small fry is his student yet seemingly learned absolutely nothing oh, after all IQ is innate..."
"You!"
Asuka Karasawa pursed her lips, deciding to silently draw circles within her heart cursing her.
Whereas Fisher continued his own train of thought, looking at the petite Lord Tao before her eyes inquiring,
"Therefore, what precisely is the 'consensus' you mentioned?"
Hearing these words Lord Tao extended her two hands twirling a circle toward Fisher, pouting her mouth stating,
"Exceptionally adorable right, this is the appearance when I was purely birthed in this life, my appearance when I was purely birthed... returning to the main topic, this is the consequence formulated by exerting my capability. Uniquely because of 【Li】 during ordinary days, we essentially completely cannot interfere with the affairs within the Royal Capital. Naturally we equivalently lack knowledge of the matters occurring here, yet such colossal matters occurring naturally we must investigate clearly. I created a boundary, capable of rewinding time here, hoping to witness all information regarding that Transferred Person to obtain clues regarding the stolen Teardrop..."
"However, the aura of Chaos upon the bodies of Transferred Persons disrupted the operation of Rules, within Destiny, their shadows are exceptionally blurry exceptionally blurry. The clues I obtained were exceptionally meager. The uniquely obtained matter I acquired is, that Transferred Person abruptly manifested beside the King. She stayed for several years within the Royal Capital, abruptly stealing the World Tree Teardrop half a year ago vanishing her traces."
"However, akin to you this Small fry, that Transferred Person aside from the aura of Chaos upon her body should constitute uniquely an ordinary human. Jianmu Palace possesses Yu-Character and Zhou-Character Square Axis Lines, additionally possessing several dozen Giant Tree Imperial Guards. Even if the King's negligence was precipitated due to lifespan limitations, an ordinary human of hers couldn't possibly steal the World Tree Teardrop stored deeply within Jianmu Palace..."
Fisher's brows twitched slightly, he abruptly comprehended what exactly these Elf Grand Dukes like Lord Tao were suspecting,
"You mean, that Transferred Person possessed other accomplices?"
"Correct, moreover highly probable it is an associate of my race, an Elf."
Lord Tao executed a leap jumping atop that giant peach tree behind. Yawning profoundly, identically akin to the first time meeting Asuka Karasawa previously, unfurling her fan obscuring half her own face, stating,
"The records of the Royal Capital were entirely blockaded, whereas the King would summon Elves serving as subjects due to various assortments of reasons... offering tributes, treating illnesses, presenting treasures, visiting relatives... half a year ago, encompassing myself within, a total of seventy-odd Elves entered the Royal Capital. That Whale-kin doctor hailing from the Ocean within your team, identically half a year ago passed through the recommendation of 【Marquis Kashiwa】 heading to the Royal Capital to medically treat the King, I witnessed his figure within the boundary of the past."
Gou Wen?
"He indeed mentioned to us he previously entered the Royal Capital, providing medical treatment for your King."
Lord Tao cast a sidelong glance observing Fisher. One or two seconds later she stowed her fan, sitting up straight pointing at him alongside Asuka Karasawa beside,
"The boundary of the past was tinted with shadows rendering me incapable of seeing due to Chaos. Yet perhaps differing sceneries might exist within the eyes of you three Transferred Persons呢? You guys are a group, operating together identically poses no harm. In short, I desire allowing you guys to aid me discovering the Traitor amongst us, the remaining matters left for us to resolve."
"..."
Fisher remained contemplating, Lord Tao had already lowered her fan, additionally looking down at them, inquiring,
"Serving as remuneration, whatever you desire I will grant. Treasures, noble titles, beauties, I can satisfy entirely..."
Watching the Lord Tao upon the tree, the other party's pink-tinted pupils resembling a Motionless deep abyss, Fisher silenced for one or two seconds. Right while the Asuka Karasawa beside was still stealthily watching him awaiting his decision, he conversely abruptly opened his mouth stating,
"Deal, I solely require Demi-human beauties and it's sufficient."
"Ai ai ai?!"
Asuka Karasawa astonishedly looked toward Fisher, yet discovering he covertly hinted something to herself utilizing eye contact. She had yet to entirely comprehend, yet premised upon trust toward Teacher Fisher, she ultimately didn't issue an inquiry.
Lord Tao smilingly supported her fan looking toward Asuka Karasawa, subsequently continuing inquiring,
"Small fry, what about you?"
"I... I... that treasure?"
Lord Tao nodded her head with satisfaction. Subsequently waving her hand, her entire person laying upon the tree branch. The peach trees blockading their path behind vanished bit by bit, revealing a path leading toward the distance. Her childish voice identically transmitted adopting the momentum,
"Alright, It's a Deal. I will provide a sufficient quantity of treasures and beauties for all of you oh, it's Demi-human beauties. Tracing this path continuously walking you will predictably encounter your companions, go persuade them ba. I will await you guys for a single day, you can identically conveniently utilize this time resting a bit, the remuneration will be delivered to you at night. Wait until tomorrow morning to come over anew, I will send you guys entering the boundary."
"Yes."
Fisher nodded his head, pulling Asuka Karasawa beside him precisely treading backward, walking toward the other terminus of the peach blossom forest.
Whereas Asuka Karasawa actively pulled by him watching the Teacher Fisher adopting a contemplating posture with cold countenance, the doubts birthed due to his decisive request just now additionally vanished bit by bit.
She opened her mouth desiring to utter something, inquire something, yet was entirely refused by Fisher raising his finger. She identically stared blankly twisting her head looking at that giant peach tree.
Right oh, they were presently still within Lord Tao's boundary, in case uttering something and being overheard by Lord Tao it wouldn't be splendid.
Although Fisher entirely lacked the intention to expound, yet she ultimately utilized her own brain.
She abruptly realized, requesting any remuneration regarding the circumstances just now was essentially un-highly appropriate. They focused entering for the World Tree Teardrop, moreover individuals dispatched by the Sanctuary, these twin points entirely impossibly exposed to Lord Tao, then they exclusively could continue utilizing the identity of "Locals of Wutong Fiefdom".
Then rejecting remuneration would evidently attract more scrutiny from Lord Tao. Asuka Karasawa un-believed Lord Tao prior to instructing them to aid entirely hadn't considered exactly where this team abruptly appearing with three Transferred Persons originated from. Simply because she was incapable of viewing the past of Asuka Karasawa's group, consequently...
She lowered her head observing the white robe upon her body. Although this contraption was clothing of the Sanctuary, yet actually comparing it with this side of the Tree Continent lacked any overly massive distinction, completely covering oneself with a piece of cloth and it concludes entirely. Moreover the attire of Tsubaki Fiefdom identically differed from within Wutong Fiefdom, the clothing of the Phoenix Race seemingly additionally identically diverging from that cohort of Royal Capital envoys. Lord Tao shouldn't have discovered their flaw through clothing.
Therefore, the optimal solution just now was actually precisely accepting Lord Tao's remuneration. Regardless they originally didn't come for the remuneration either, being capable of verifying the Teardrop of Jianmu Palace was stolen they could already exit the Tree Continent to report upon completion of duty.
Asuka Karasawa abruptly heaved a sigh of relief.
Predictably, just now Teacher Fisher uniquely remained continuing utilizing the persona previously handling Marquis Hiiragi, feigning oneself was a villain desiring Demi-human Races... although utilizing it indeed was highly effective, identically capable of rapidly dispelling other people's misgivings, yet Asuka Karasawa invariably felt it wasn't worth it for Teacher Fisher being forced to disparage himself...
She stealthily cast a glance at the Teacher Fisher walking ahead uttering not a single word, inexplicably sensing reliability upon his body. Whereas Asuka Karasawa was immensely attracted by this reliability.
"Is this precisely a mature adult ma... I identically must properly exert effort and it will do."
Asuka Karasawa conceptualized internally thus, simultaneously forcefully patting her own cheeks. Silently accelerating her pace walking parallel with Fisher.
Whereas Fisher walking ahead seeing her assuming an appearance of having comprehended, fundamentally ceased worrying anew, essentially he identically entirely lacked the intention to expound equivalently.
Broadly, Fisher's thoughts corresponded approximately with the conclusions Asuka Karasawa deduced via analysis... mm, exempting the portion regarding that cohort of Demi-Human Girl remunerations.
Yet what he required providing supplementary exposition for was, him demanding these remunerations was absolutely not birthed from Reproduction Desire, this point could be guaranteed to Renee.
Solely because he necessitated rapidly approaching the peak of Fourteenth-Tier, consequently requiring these Demi-Human Girls to conduct research and nothing more, such an opportunity handed over freely not utilizing it was a waste. Moreover before his eyes remained that Nekelia having yet concluded research upon, additionally encompassing the Elf-kin...
Fisher reminisced Lord Tao's petite, exquisite and adorable appearance for a moment, abruptly perceiving some regret. If capable of researching the Traits of the Elf-kin it would be splendid, seemingly encountering a female Elf-kin remained actually quite difficult...
Mm, just now did Asuka Karasawa converse with that Elf previously?
Contemplating to this point, Fisher paused slightly. He abruptly looked toward Asuka Karasawa behind him, inquiring of her,
"What occurred regarding you appearing over here encountering that Lord Tao just now, when I arrived I predictably witnessed you two plummeting into the water, what on earth transpired, are you injured me?"
If she communed with Lord Tao and additionally the relationship seemingly remained fairly decent, could it be possible to leverage Asuka Karasawa serving as an intermediary obtaining the research progress of the Elf-kin呢?
Temporarily uniquely a speculation, unknown whether it could be traversed through.
"Ai?"
Whereas Asuka Karasawa behind felt Fisher's slightly concerned line of sight. Unknown why, she additionally abruptly reminisced the appearance of herself plummeting into the water earlier wearing an un-appropriate swimsuit. She grew somewhat embarrassed, extending her hand scratching her own cheek, stating,
"Ah, that... previously I witnessed a peach dropping down from a tree, subsequently additionally heading to pick it up, never anticipated just walking not a few strides the encompassing environment completely altered. Subsequently additionally encountering that brat, she incessantly hurled insults at me, additionally instructing me to aid her catch fish, therefore... therefore I exclusively then changed into that set of clothes."
Fisher lacked any knowledge exactly why Asuka Karasawa abruptly commenced elaborating regarding herself donning those bizarre clothes, seemingly a swimsuit? Moreover the sizing additionally wasn't quite correct.
Yet he abruptly anew conceptualized Jasmine. Previously at Saint-Nazareth University, she seemingly identically frequently felt agonizing distress resulting from clothing issues.
He shook his head, temporarily throwing the tangled thoughts within his brain to the back of his mind,
"It's fine, I witnessed absolutely nothing."
Wu, the more you state thus the increasingly I feel you witnessed absolutely everything ah!
Asuka Karasawa silently hurled complaints internally, yet upon the surface, she invariably reddened her complexion nodding her head slightly, tacitly circumventing this topic.
They advanced whilst silencing. Rapidly traversing through the prolonged path walking arriving at the location they previously abided at, even Asuka Karasawa identically un-anticipated she originally possessed such a vast distance separated from the prior location.
Resultingly just stepping out Fisher precisely perceived "Opening Thunderstrike".
Uniquely witnessing within that broad clearing amidst the forest, Gou Wen and Mikhail agonizingly distressed stood beneath a peach blossom tree. Seeing Fisher's group returning they hurriedly waved their hands,
"You guys finally returned, we additionally uniquely just returned, I entirely lacked knowledge you encountered that maidservant... you rapidly come over and observe ba, this fellow Helaire seemingly ate excessively numerous peaches, returning it was precisely thus."
"Ha?"
Fisher possessing an abstract expression walked back amidst them, yet witnessing beneath the peach blossom tree before their eyes, that white robe-donning Helaire lay upon the ground. Upon her body dropped quite a few peach pits, carefully counting unexpectedly manifesting not beneath several dozens, rendering Fisher's scalp tingling witnessing it.
One of her hands clutched her own stomach, the other hand additionally wielding a half-gnawed peach. The fake breasts forged spanning from her halo felt entirely less swollen than her swollen stomach, entirely un-knowing exactly how many peaches she devoured.
Observing her pale complexion, adopting an exceptionally agonizing appearance, Fisher harbored some suspicion crouching beside her, desiring to verify her status slightly.
Unknown whether being tricked by this fellow excessively, regardless of what transpired upon this fellow the primary matter Fisher initially conceptualized was she was hunting for amusement.
"...Helaire?"
Silencing for a moment, Fisher invariably opened his mouth calling out to her.
The Helaire plummeting upon the ground furrowed her brows slightly, seemingly experiencing extreme torment, long eyelashes identically akin to butterflies strenuously vibrating their wings.
Her blue-gold dual pupils seemingly surfaced ripples, upon witnessing the Fisher before her eyes, she exclusively then seemingly birthed unambiguous emotional fluctuations.
Her voice hoarse, words additionally correspondingly appearing somewhat dry,
"Heh... returning to execute what呢... everything... has already concluded... I presently..."
"...Speak in human language."
Helaire sobbed slightly, seemingly increasingly tormented. When Fisher genuinely incapable of enduring anymore prepared to unsheathe his Fluid Sword, she exclusively then hurriedly ceased acting. Holding her bulging little belly she strenuously rolled over on the spot, prostrating upon the ground muffledly stating,
"Ate excessively numerous peaches... I'm so choked... is there water?"
"...Mentally ill."
