Chapter 673: Days of Yore No More
"That carrier of Usurping Life upon your woman's body has consciousness, moreover can even converse with her, otherwise she wouldn't reveal a resisting expression on her face."
At the edge of the Wutong Tree's hollowed corridor, the Lord of Fate crossed her arms gazing towards the magnificent inner space of the Wutong Tree. Of course it wasn't to gaze into the distance at the scenery, she merely spoke with completely no interest towards the Fisher beside.
Fisher was also leaning against the handrail. He asked the Wutong Tree people for pen, paper and Magic Material, currently writing something upon it right now. Incidentally replying to the Lord of Fate's words.
"Mm, I know."
"Are you not afraid that carrier bewitches her? You don't look like a person who turns a blind eye to your woman's danger. Even if right now within your brain you are still thinking of the possibility of not wanting to give up Elizabeth, isn't it?"
"..."
"A guy who won't give up..." The Lord of Fate reached out supporting her own cheek, doubting, "Is first love very difficult for men to forget? Even a greedy and insatiable person like you also cannot be spared?"
Eimhart instead curled his lips, looking at Fisher unsparingly saying.
"Every female he knows is a first love to him... Aiyo!"
Words hadn't even finished speaking before suffering Fisher's sanction. Frightening him to hurriedly fly up staying far away from him.At this moment, Fisher just finished writing the letter Communication Magic on hand. Then folding it into the appearance of a Paper Airplane, prepared to hand it over to the Slimes afterwards, requesting them to bring it over to the Southern Continent to deliver.
The biggest problem with Communication Magic is distance having a relatively large limitation. No one knows what the specific range of this kind of limitation is. The Communication Magic engraved by the same Magician, the Communication Magic engraved by different magic all might have different or identical distances. On average, the teleportation distance of half the Southern Continent still exists.
Previously he gave Alajina a Paper Airplane written "My Queen". The approximate range of the Communication Magic was precisely from Pirate Harbor to the edge of the Sardin Woman's Country. It's just a pity she has always viewed that Communication Magic as a treasure. Except for the time Renee took him to find her, she basically had never used it.
Returning to the main topic, before leaving the Southern Continent, Fisher also left the beacon of Communication Magic with Raphaela to facilitate contact.
The news released over at Naris has only been a few days. Even if Jasmine and Raphaela received the news and already set off, without Slimes' help it's impossible for them to be very far from the Southern Continent. Through the Slimes' teleportation plus Communication Magic relay, the letter could then be delivered to their hands.
Must remind them Naris' news is a trap. Incidentally also mention his own current situation a bit. Striving to bring together the Northern Border and the Dragon Court cooperating to resist Elizabeth, this way can also increase the chances of winning... As long as Raphaela and Jasmine don't ask what kind of relationship he has with the Phoenix of the Wutong Tree.
Raphaela not accepting other females besides Jasmine, this is a good thing and also a bad thing.
The good thing is she presumably will turn a blind eye to other females, not possessing that strong aggressiveness. The bad thing is, that memorable Hot Spring time from that night then will no longer have the possibility of being spent together with other females besides Jasmine.
After finishing doing all these, Fisher only then turned his head back looking towards the Lord of Fate.
"Valentiina Turan had an extremely trusted elder in the past, named Herdor. Before he left, Valentiina Turan's expression was exactly identical to just now... So even if it's bewitchment give her a bit more time ba. I believe with her intelligence she can distinguish right from wrong."
"..."
The Lord of Fate no longer spoke, merely leaning against the edge of the railing, enjoying this scant leisure time. After all I'm afraid before long it will be busy to the point of unable to stop.
"Speak a bit about Asuka ba. You respect her very much. I am a bit curious what kind of existence she is in your eyes."
"Hehe, you whose schedule is fully arranged finally remembered this matter of Asuka, now queued to your number?"
"Just treat it as so ba, anyway regarding this aspect the one in the wrong has always been me, I also won't deny it... Then, Senior Aris, right now can you tell me more matters regarding Asuka ne?"
Fisher lowered his gaze, suddenly thinking of that little girl facing the Cardinal pouring out the resolution of waiting ten thousand years that night.
Ten thousand years of time is too long, he himself is too minuscule, unable to distinguish the scale of such a long time. Merely feeling the four and a half years this world passed after he left was already sufficiently long, sufficiently altering many things.
"...She was an attractive leader, a hundred percent powerful existence. To me, she isn't purely a teacher, even more is my sole family member in this world."
Fisher turned his head looking towards the Lord of Fate. Seeing her hesitate for half a day only then rubbing the golden Rope Knot on hand opening her mouth. Narrating a "Asuka Karasawa" different from Fisher's impression.
"Transferred Persons due to the reason of the Authority contained within the Completion Handbook, always inexplicably repel and oppose each other somewhere out there. She yet could eliminate all these without a sound. She was majestic and also kind, was extremely friendly to any living creature, especially humans situated at the bottom of the tiers at that time. She once attempted trying to impart magic to humans, yet worried implicating those humans because of the Mythical Species' pursuit of her, ultimately could only drop it. All in all, she was exactly the most perfect and powerful Transferred Person, it's exactly... sometimes possessing some very bad petty temperaments, frequently giving me a headache...
"She sometimes would mention her teacher, which also means you, before me, but only stopped after a brief attempt. The other people of our Creation Society to her all seemed like... children urgently needing care, and not friends able to share innermost thoughts. So she then very rarely poured out her inner true thoughts before us. Able to be called her friend, besides the Mr. Mikhail who contacted her through Cardinals, then there was only that Mother Goddess situated in the Spirit World."
This matter of Asuka Karasawa and Renee's Previous Incarnation being the Mother Goddess being friends Fisher already knew previously. Within the Demi-Human Completion Handbook there were many items that displayed the friendship between them.
Not to mention the Mother Goddess's magic was all imparted to Her by Asuka Karasawa. As a return, She then shared a part of Her [Infinity] Authority power with Asuka.
But Fisher yet noticed a certain sentence mentioned within the Lord of Fate's words. He raised his eyebrows, opening his mouth saying.
"Are you saying, Asuka frequently conversed with the Mother Goddess of the Spirit World ma? Which is to say, she frequently went to the Spirit World?"
"How is this possible. Although going to the Spirit World indeed can directly converse with the Mother Goddess, but at that time she however was a Transferred Person executed by the entire world. In Reality the gods were unable to intervene thereby needing to rely on Mythical Species. Asuka could seek survival in the hands of Mythical Species, yet entering the Spirit World needed to directly confront deities, but was merely vainly increasing risks. It was only later when she increasingly couldn't suppress the Chaos within her body, forced to attempt returning home that she entered the Spirit World... Before that, she exactly relied on a certain kind of magic coming to the Northern Border to converse with the Mother Goddess."
The Lord of Fate slightly smiled. Both the gaze and expression carried the flavor of reminiscence.
"Speaking of it it's interesting, the first time I met her I was brought by her to meet the Mother Goddess... I was young at that time, hadn't become adult yet. The habits of the otherworld hometown also hadn't faded yet, a mouthful of curses, even peed my pants from the appearance of the Mother Goddess."
"!"
But the Fisher listening to the Lord of Fate opening her mouth yet suddenly had his eyes light up. The expression on the face also bit by bit became joyful up. Making the Lord of Fate having all hairs stand on end all over her body take a step back, saying in disgust.
"You truly are a hundred percent pervert. Hearing a girl who just came to this world several thousand years ago pee her pants you'd be this excited and joyful?"
"...Senior Aris, right now I am suddenly a bit curious, what kind of person exactly am I in your eyes?"
"Pervert, scumbag irresponsible towards feelings, Demi-Human Girl Con..."
The Lord of Fate bent a finger for every word she said. When bending to the third finger Fisher then helplessly interrupted her action of continuing to speak on.
Fisher's expression of bursting inspiration was poured a basin of cold water by the Lord of Fate's words. He helplessly sighed a breath. Yet still felt somewhat sentimental when hearing her say he was a "Demi-Human Girl Con", also couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Seemingly it truly isn't any good impression. But it's not because being excited hearing the matter of Senior Aris you being frightened to pee. This kind of matter I have personally witnessed not just once."
"??"
"I merely only suddenly thought of a matter... the entire World-Ending Prophecy of this stage. Whether it's the three known Outer Chaos or the Trinity of Death Elizabeth wants to accomplish, are all associated with the assassination targeting Dagon, right?"
"...Indeed so."
"Mm heng, Senior Aris, Dagon is a living deity, not a concept. So why can't we communicate with Him discussing opinions a bit ne? As a deity, regarding how to stop His death doesn't He Himself even more have a say ma? He is merely injured right now, hasn't died yet ne."
"Yi, Fisher you truly are a talent ah! I nearly forgot you this fellow conversed with Dagon ah!"
Eimhart also remembered the matter of conversing with Dagon on paper when at the Defiled Church of the Northern Border. After losing the filter of the God of Destruction, right now he finally can find a backer again.
Eimhart belongs to the category of living off the mountain when near the mountain, living off the sea when near the sea, feigning cowardly when having no backer. This isn't saying it's bad, for example the Lord of Fate. As a first generation Transferred Person pursued and killed by the gods and Mythical Species for several thousand years, she precisely possessed completely no awareness towards this kind of matter. She fundamentally didn't think one still could directly communicate with the deity of this world as it turns out.
"...It indeed is also a method. The deity of this world witnessed everything of this world. Although unable to directly intervene within the world, all in all better than currently isolated and without help. You incidentally ask Him a bit about the whereabouts of Asuka, Dagon definitely knows."
"Mm, okay."
Fisher nodded his head agreeing down. Yet still looking at the Lord of Fate before his eyes. This made the chest the Lord of Fate was originally fully prepared to sigh a breath of relief again hurriedly raise up.
She continued looking at the Fisher before her eyes, couldn't help doubting.
"Looking at what I'm doing, you going to contact Dagon then isn't it fine. It couldn't possibly let me this Transferred Person go right?"
"No, then you give me the method of contacting Him ah."
"?"
"Didn't you follow Asuka personally witnessing the scene of her communicating with the Mother Goddess within the Spirit World ma, then the communication method she used you ought to know right. Coincidentally we are actually still within the Northern Border right now, also convenient to proceed to head there."
"What I ought to know, I don't know ah. This is Asuka's magic, I know absolutely nothing regarding magic. In this aspect you are her teacher your attainments ought to be extremely high that's right. Even you don't know, how would I know what magic she used?"
"?"
"Moreover previously didn't this ugly freak say you and Dagon contacted ma, you using the previous method again then isn't it fine?"
"I'm afraid it won't succeed. That time successfully contacting previously was before I was pursued by Death. Moreover confirming it was successful exactly when He was watching me at that time. Right now the gods are all monitoring that lump of scarlet pollution as well as the situation of the Barrier at the edge of the Spirit World. Even the Whale-kin (Jasmine) most doted on by Ramastia also cannot contact Him. Not to mention, right now Dagon still suffered heavy injuries because of the Crevice being combusted, then it is even more impossible to respond to the summons within the world."
"Then what to do? Your proposal is precisely proposing in vain, what use is there?"
"..."
Fisher didn't expect the Lord of Fate to be this useless. In his previous speculations looking at it, as the proxy President disguising Asuka Karasawa for several thousand years, the Lord of Fate's strength ought to be terrifying exactly exactly. If no good also ought to be exactly like the Goddess of Fate adept at prophecy within mythology, possessing the function of foreseeing the future as it turns out.
The result ne, just this?
No wonder Erwind precisely rebelled destroying everywhere. Under your leadership the Creation Society only falling apart right now is already extremely not bad.
"..."
Fisher and the Lord of Fate mutually overestimating each other both weirdly fell silent. After a very long time, it was still Fisher's intelligent brain taking the lead thinking of a method. He sighed a breath, grabbed the Eimhart assuming the role of an atmosphere lamp beside and precisely prepared to turn his body leaving.
The Lord of Fate behind still pondering couldn't help but raise her head looking at his back figure, doubting.
"So, then letting it go like this?"
"..." Fisher speechlessly turned his head back looking at her, replying, "Big sister, matter concerning the World-Ending Prophecy can it be let go like this ma?"
"Then what about your present ne, what are you preparing to do?"
"Go find my woman, you also come together with me."
"?"
Fisher sighed a breath, compelled to speak to her directly without beating around the bush explaining.
"Since the method of contacting Dagon within the world cannot succeed, might as well directly head to the Spirit World, perhaps it can succeed. Alajina possesses a Cardinal capable of traveling to the Angel's Sanctuary in the Spirit World. Her Cardinal technology still has that David conversing with us exactly came from there. We will go there together with Alajina to take a look, you study the Cardinal a bit, I will attempt contacting Dagon..."
The Lord of Fate slightly blanked, realizing after the fact becoming embarrassed up.
Perhaps because of the stereotyped impression of Fisher's private affairs. Especially a moment thinking the teacher the admired President Asuka thought about day and night was exactly such an insatiably greedy man. She perhaps still felt a bit indignant.
Especially, he exactly wants to deal with the complicated matters of these women not knowing how many geometric series. Taking turn to fulfilling promises wanting to find Asuka Karasawa then requires how long ne?
Of course, speaking objectively Fisher also has no methods.
The romantic debts he owes are too many. Exactly like a roof leaking several tens of large holes. Standing in the torrential rain he tightly clutches tiles exerting all strength to make up for it. But he after all only has a single person and two hands, patching the east side then leaks on the west side. Moreover Asuka's clues clearly are closely related to the Spirit World. He hasn't reached the extent of being unimpeded within the Spirit World right now, cannot blame him.
However, regarding the impression of a person if not having subjectivity that would truly be strange, right?
At least right now, the Lord of Fate at any rate realized a bit of other traits obscured by shortcomings upon this man.
She hurriedly floated up, silently catching up with Fisher.
"Saying it, old hag, aren't you the Lord of Fate ma, why can't you foresee the future exactly like Elves and Phoenixes ah?"
"...Ugly freak, firstly, the power I grasped accurately speaking is [Chaotic Guidance]. Compared to prophecy, I am even more adept at making the direction of the present and future become uncontrollable and unpredictable; secondly, among the Elves besides Gui the One of the Three Children, then there are no other people able to accurately foresee the future again. The predicting ability of the Phoenix weakened to a certain extent, not Mythic Rank can be ignored completely. Understood ma, ugly freak?"
"Oh, understood, old hag."
"Then that's good, ugly freak."
"..."
Fisher took a glance at the Eimhart reaching a weird "balance" with the Lord of Fate upon his own shoulder. Always feeling these two fellows also possessed a kind of remarkably stable tacit understanding despite scolding.
He exactly taking the Lord of Fate going sequentially downwards like this, returning near Alajina's Laboratory. Here is also exactly the place the crew members she brought resided. Previously when coming they were outside participating in the experiment. Right now all returned, then from the rooms behind transmitted conversing noises. Those walking outside would also generously greet him.
"Mr. Fisher!"
Fisher smiled nodding indicating, watching one after another crew member with familiar faces walk past, yet hadn't seen Isabel and the others. Inquired only then knowing seemingly exactly bringing those three Rat-Man sisters heading outside to hunt.
Before approaching Alajina's Laboratory, Fisher then vaguely heard the slight conversing noises transmitted from within. This is exactly the voice the Mythic Rank can only capture. And Fisher still possessed the blessing of Usurping Life Chaos, the conversing noises even more became incomparably clear.
Transmitting from inside first was the voice of First Mate Pakhz.
"Alajina, right now we already possessed such a Cardinal in our hands. Right now not fighting you precisely want to wait to when?"
Next exactly was the somewhat hesitating voice of Alajina.
"Pakhz, right now is precisely the time needing to be united against the outside. No matter what, our center of gravity should all be placed on Naris first, placed on the World-Ending Prophecy Fisher mentioned, and not roughly acting on this aspect."
"Alajina, our present is still the situation of living under someone else's roof. Solely merely bringing out achievements and not operating possesses no use at all. The matter of Phoenixes treating every race equally only exists within legends. The current Wutong Tree from top to bottom only possesses a single Phoenix. The other six tribes completely do not possess the broad-mindedness of treating equally of the Phoenix. Especially that Cangniao-zhong patriarch from the Sardin Woman's Country, she looks down upon us, even more humiliated Aoxi once right in front of her!"
Pakhz seemingly was precisely carrying out earnest persuasion towards Alajina leveraging a certain matter.
"What about your Fisher ne? Right now he has returned, you exactly solely planning to rely on wrangling to compete with the Phoenix for him. Waiting for her to become enraged anxious then kicking you out?"
"Public is public private is private, Valentiina Turan won't be unable to distinguish clearly."
"..." After silent for a moment, Pakhz only then sighed a breath, the speech and tone of voice also lowered a bit, "Alright, Alajina, I can understand. I am also precisely not possessing whatever opinions towards that Lord Phoenix. You know, during this period of time she truly did not bad. Also didn't particularly target you and us because of the matter of you and Fisher, it's just..."
The Lord of Fate seemingly also heard the noises inside, halting together with the stopped Fisher. Only Eimhart who couldn't hear anything doubtfully took a glance at the two of them. Just about to open his mouth then was pressed down by Fisher.
Inside, Pakhz's hesitating voice then continued sounding without being interrupted.
"It's just, we can no longer live the days of the past, Alajina."
"..."
"Isn't saying in the past you didn't do well, nor is it we are not loyal to you anymore. You ought to understand our feelings towards you. It's just, these kind of days will ultimately have an end. It's impossible for us to drift at sea forever. There are many sisters whose age has already grown old yet never even touched a single man. At any rate I still have Jack, have Karma and them. You still have Fisher, but what about them ne?"
"..."
"They also want to have a home, hoping to have a place to stop and stably develop. I see the Sardin Woman's Country has no hope anymore. But the Wutong Tree is perhaps an opportunity, you precisely can understand my meaning ma, Alajina?"
"..."
"I can discern, you have completely no sense of belonging towards here. You merely treat here as a temporary resting place. In the future having opportunities still thinking of taking the sisters to leave. So I only then precisely wanted to talk with you regarding our thoughts for a bit."
"..."
Silent for a very long time, again exactly a sigh from Pakhz.
"...Sorry, Alajina, today I said too much. No matter what, you are our leader. Everything you do we all support. Just consider it as I didn't say anything today ba, okay? I'll go take a look how Karma and Isabel and their hunting turned out."
"Okay, you go ba, Pakhz... the matters you said, I will properly consider a bit."
"Mm, don't take it too much to heart, how many years have we all followed you."
"Ga zhi~"
The doorleaf of Alajina's Laboratory swiftly opened. The Fisher and the Lord of Fate on the other end of the corridor then only perfectly started moving their footsteps. Pakhz coming out coincidently saw Fisher and the Lord of Fate in the distance, then hurriedly waved to him.
"Aiyo, Mr. Fisher, truly, I even said after you returned you wouldn't even come take a look at the Captain ne. Didn't expect you previously already met, this can truly be... Captain, quickly look, Fisher came!"
"First Mate Pakhz, long time no see. I came to discuss a bit of matters with Alajina."
"Ai, I understand I understand. I won't disturb you guys. I'll go take a look where that adorable good granddaughter of mine ran off to play."
Pakhz hei hei smiled. Patting her own rather wealthy belly then walked past from beside Fisher and the Lord of Fate, heading towards the outside.
The Lord of Fate turned her head back looking an additional glance at Pakhz. While Fisher yet already entered the Laboratory. Then seeing the Alajina whose complexion had already recovered as usual.
She smilingly just preparing to say some things. Peripheral vision then saw the Lord of Fate floating in from the doorleaf.
"Fisher, this is..."
"This is Senior Aris, is our cooperative partner. This is Alajina, my..."
"Your woman."
Fisher helplessly smiled, looking at the Alajina beside suddenly standing a bit straighter, softly saying.
"According to the concepts of the Sardin Woman's Country, shouldn't I be her man?"
"Both not too different, directly enter the main topic ba."
Alajina doubtfully looked towards Fisher. Then saw him sizing up the Cardinal David beside. Pausing for a moment he only then said.
"Alajina, we want to request you to take us heading to the Angel's Sanctuary in the Spirit World for a trip."
"Beep beep... Alajina, need me to explain the situation for Mr. Fisher ma?"
David flickered starting blue-colored light, opening the mouth saying like this. And the Alajina hearing this then firstly shook her head, subsequently only then looking towards Fisher saying.
"Can is can. But the Cardinal can only carry another single living creature besides me. So, can only be you and I two people Fisher."
