Chapter 674: Home
After the Lord of Fate finished listening to Alajina's words instead sized up a glance at her expression. Seemingly doubting if you husband and wife are exactly wanting to go to the Shelter to do whatever romantic getaway, moreover at this kind of critical time.
But Alajina's expression yet was extremely serious. At least the Lord of Fate couldn't discern how she was thinking.
It isn't that Alajina's expression was how flawless and invulnerable. Rather it's that the Lord of Fate possessed a deficiency in capability regarding this aspect.
In the past Asuka exactly said she "didn't possess the capability to read the atmosphere and look at people's facial expressions". Of course, this is also related to the inner incompleteness of her this Transferred Person needing to be "Completed".
"Or Alajina you first take me entering the Spirit World, then you return again taking Senior Aris entering ne? This time entering the Spirit World is in order to attempt communicating with a certain deity. Having Senior Aris would also be slightly more reliable."
Alajina looked towards Fisher hasn't opened the mouth yet, the David beside instead firstly did an explanation.
"Beep beep... The operating principle of the Transfer Cardinal actually isn't purely teleporting living creatures to the Spirit World. It still provides sanctuary for living creatures below the Eighteenth Tier. Otherwise with everyone's Ranks within the Spirit World wouldn't be able to survive for even a single second. And this sanctuary can only encompass two people. So, when Alajina returns to Reality, the living creature she brought over will also be forced to return to Reality because of the sanctuary's return."
After David finished speaking, Alajina again swiftly opened her mouth adding a sentence.
"...I didn't exactly mean solely only wanting to go together with Fisher so only said like this."
"..."Fisher and the Lord of Fate again simultaneously looked towards her. But Alajina yet doubtfully blinked her eyes. Not understanding why they two suddenly fell silent again staring blankly at herself like this.
It was still the Fisher who understood Alajina even more taking the lead smiling breaking the deadlock. Volunteeringly opening the mouth saying to the Lord of Fate.
"Then Senior Aris, you temporarily wait here for a bit ba. The situation over there wait until I come out then I'll tell you."
The Lord of Fate sighed a breath, compelled to say.
"...No matter. The dangers of the Spirit World I also heard early on. It's just, if you can converse with Dagon, don't forget to ask the questions that ought to be asked. Absolutely, do, not, for, get."
Alajina again doubtfully looked over. But Fisher answered yet extremely calmly. "...I promise."
Everything finalized. Eimhart also incidentally swaggeringly flew up to Fisher's shoulder. Looking at the Lord of Fate using an extremely deserving of a beating tone saying.
"Aha, old hag, then we are setting off now. Whatever news wait until we return then we'll tell you ba... Good heavens, if the obtained news is too much truly don't know until when to tell you. But no need to worry, I will remind Fisher to do the things that ought to be done."
"Beep beep... Forgive David reminding, this Book Sir..."
"Ah?"
"Beep beep... Book Sir, you I'm afraid also must stay here then it's fine."
"What? I'm precisely not a human! I am exactly a holy artifact ah. Look clearly, little iron ball! Good heavens, Alajina, you absolutely instigated this little iron ball to cover for you. Do you want to spend a romantic getaway with Fisher this much ma? Even not wanting me anymore!"
"Beep beep... Although Alajina indeed has an intense desire wanting to be alone together with Fisher behind Lady Valentiina Turan's back. But Book Sir you cannot enter possesses absolutely zero connection with this point..."
David's words hadn't even finished speaking, before being caught and stopped from speaking by the silently moving Alajina behind.
Eimhart puffed up with anger still prepared to say something. The Lord of Fate beside yet still satirically smiled. Directly making him anxious to the point of unable to handle.
"Your mom, you are not allowed to smile!"
Fisher didn't pay attention to the flustered and exasperated Eimhart. Merely still relied on peripheral vision looking towards the Alajina beside. Yet saw although she still had no expression on her face, between the fluttering silver hair on both temples, those slightly round earlobes had already become pink and tender, exactly like those cherries that haven't fully ripened yet appeared exceptionally delectable.
"Beep beep... Forgive David explaining the main reason for Book Sir. According to the records of the Angel Gabriel within the remnant database. The Teardrop Relic entering the Spirit World its mind will suffer unknown reasons' influence. Thus the person-in-charge of the Spirit World Shelter only then from the originally planned Ga..."
"We're setting off ba."
But while listening, Fisher yet suddenly voiced out opening the mouth, interrupting David's explanation.
"What ya! Immediately wasn't it going to speak of the news regarding the Angel Gabriel. You wait until this robot finishes speaking ah!"
Eimhart angrily flew over. Fisher yet lightly pinched him within the palm of his hand. After silent for a moment then expressionlessly pushed him away, as if casually brushing off.
"...We first handle the matters of the Spirit World. Other matters wait until returning then speak again."
"Your mom!"
Hearing this, Eimhart blusterously flew out of the Laboratory. And the Lord of Fate was also happy to see Eimhart suffer deflation. Slightly smiling then also followed turning her head leaving the Laboratory. Only leaving behind a single sentence.
"I will wait for you all to return here."
Alajina doubtfully took a glance at Fisher. Subsequently turned her head taking some tools. Only then instructed David to start doing the preparations before entering the Spirit World.
"Beep beep... Shelter transfer process preparing. After countdown thirty seconds starts transferring. Please two huddle closely together, don't move indiscriminately, we will arrive immediately!"
Alajina nodded her head, pulling slightly closer to Fisher. While secretly looking at him, while also couldn't help but doubtfully ask.
"Fisher, did you and... Eimhart have a falling out ma?"
"No, what happened?"
"Then, just now..."
"Oh, are you wanting to say just now why I didn't let him listen to David speak the matters of the Angel Gabriel?"
"Mm..." Alajina nodded her head, softly saying. "Can be seen, Eimhart cares very much about that... Angel Gabriel."
"More than caring, Gabriel ought to be considered as his mother. From the start of having self-consciousness, until before meeting me he had always been searching for the tracks of the Holy Progeny. In my view, what he searched actually wasn't other angels, actually precisely is Gabriel."
"But, I heard David say, angels all do not possess gender."
"...Mm, but also not all angels are like this. There are a very minor few will have gender inclinations, even to the point of thoroughly becoming one of the genders."
Fisher had a bit hesitating to speak. What was thought of within the brain yet precisely wasn't Gabriel. Instead was differently another pair of blue-gold colored, carrying smiles diverging pupils.
It's just, yet didn't know what kind of divine existence exactly the owner of those eyes was. Whether they still could be counted as an angel or not.
He subconsciously touched his own heart area. But Alajina yet exactly like having been taught nodded her head.
"Like this ah..."
"Eimhart has lost his memories before. During the Mythical War he and the Angel Gabriel separated. Although I also don't wish to think like this, but mostly all the existing evidence indicates. Gabriel already died within the Mythical War. Conversely the Angel Michael in charge of the Spirit World Shelter his whereabouts are unknown, might still survive."
"So..."
Alajina seemed to suddenly understand something, looking towards the Fisher beside.
"The Angel Gabriel originally ought to be the Archangel responsible for the Spirit World Shelter project. Yet because she viewed the Eimhart treated as a child suffering the Spirit World's influence thereby gave up entering the Spirit World. Ultimately dying within the Mythical War."
"Eimhart... might have thought, it was him who caused the death of the Angel Gabriel."
"Very stupid right, Eimhart?"
Fisher lightly smiled, incidentally stretching out a hand grabbing Alajina's hand. But she yet didn't answer, merely feeling suddenly a bit jealous.
Seemingly all along, only that book could always stay beside his side.
All around, David's notification sound sounded again, it was the countdown before transferring.
"Beep beep... Teleportation countdown, three, two, one..."
"Weng weng!"
Following a burst of spinning heaven and earth turning rotation. In the next moment, Fisher and Alajina two people instantly exactly like being projected out in that manner.
Alajina's consciousness front and back, like unstable being pulled tearing apart by this kind of teleportation process. But good thing she already teleported many times, thereby already accustomed; And Fisher yet because of the Body and Soul Unity didn't feel much discomfort. Instead even saw clearly the situation of that currently furiously combusting Crevice space.
Exactly like an exquisite and spacious canvas being ignited by a casually tossed down cigarette butt like that. That burning scattering sparks constantly spread upon the surface of the canvas. Today already reached the degree of three quarters already turned to ashes.
"Dong!!"
The next moment, the Fisher still carefully sizing up the Crevice then felt the sensation of falling to the ground. He lowered his head to look. Then discovered he and Alajina already arrived at a brightly lit sealed space area.
This is a space everywhere laid out with materials rich in angelic aesthetic taste. The brightness of the lights inlaid within the walls was precisely appropriate. Making everywhere around transparently bright concurrently yet insufficient to reach the degree of dazzling the eyes.
Don't know why, made Fisher suddenly think of the matter of completely discussing renovating the house with Elizabeth in the past.
At the time when her eyes hadn't been replaced by Prosthetic Eyes. The lights within the Golden Palace actually all were relatively dim. Because the eyes of their entire family were all gold-colored light-colored pupils. The tolerance towards lights was very low. Slightly a bit brighter then felt dazzling. So the lights within the Golden Palace always maintained at a relatively dark degree.
But Fisher's pupils were black-colored. Tolerance towards lights was very high. Instead if the lights weren't bright enough then felt gloomy. Exactly opposite to Godlin.
This couple of them still in passionate love even specially discussed this because of this. If living together in the future, exactly how bright must the lights at home be then it's appropriate.
Actually this is a completely meaningless topic. Just treat it as the trash talk of a little couple flirting that's all. But if insisting on stating an answer. The lights of the Shelter before the eyes then exactly ought to be the most perfect answer.
It's just at that time Fisher said, the lights at home better be a bit brighter, the brighter the better. And Elizabeth hearing this didn't refute. Merely pondered for quite a while only then suddenly smilingly said a sentence.
"Royal Father definitely won't agree. Be careful he smashes all the bright lights you chose at our home oh."
"...I won't let him succeed."
"Then I will rely on you, Mr. Light Guardian Fisher... But before that, still need to prepare for the Griffin Race then it's fine ne."
"..."
"Fisher, are you alright ba?"
Fisher blinked his eyes. Passing a brief period of staring blankly. His gaze only then precisely refocused. The hazy blurry and distantly unreachable face exactly became concrete. Becoming the inquiring appearance of Alajina.
"Welcome, Mr. Fisher, we already arrived at the Spirit World now!"
David's voice was the same as previously. It's just didn't pop out from the little iron ball within Alajina's embrace. Instead transmitted from the corridor forward from this room they landed in.
Fisher raised his eyes to look. Very quickly then saw a floating, handsome youth possessing long curly red hair.
From the outward appearance looking at it, his gender was undiscernible. Yet his appearance was beautiful to the point of making people staring dumbfounded. Exactly like an extremely rare piece of artwork. Almost instantly, Fisher then recalled that Archangel once seen ten thousand years ago.
Between them were this similar. Merely comparing with that Archangel. The youth before the eyes on the face lại lacked that much indifference. Instead turning into a kind and warm smile.
"This body... was manufactured by Michael, right?"
He wore a set of angel's white robes. When he raised his hand up welcoming Fisher. The mechanical parts at the joints then also thoroughly revealed.
This is a Cardinal, rather than an angel.
David tilted his head. At this moment, his opening the mouth no longer needed that "Beep beep" speaking notification sound.
"Accurately speaking, it was Papa and Mama manufacturing me together. The Angel Michael precisely is my Papa. It's just I noticed, when mentioning Papa. Alajina's mood will have an extremely easily noticed fluctuation. So I then no longer said this word before her anymore."
"...After I left, did Mikhail change sex ma?"
"Mother Goddess bless you, but Mama I'm afraid hasn't altered his original gender. He is still male. Sounds like it's a bit weird. But I feel Mr. Fisher ought to be able to very quickly accustom to."
"..."
Fisher raised his eyebrows looking towards the David before his eyes. And Alajina yet lightly smiled walked to Fisher's side. Faintly possessing a bit of pride saying to him.
"When I just came David's body was still full of gaps everywhere. But after he taught me the technology of Cardinals. I then patched him up properly."
"Correct, this all needs to thank Alajina. She also patched up the damaged Shelter properly."
"Is that so..."
Fisher looked at the Alajina beside somewhat surprisedly. Completely didn't think of it originally she still possessed this kind of talent.
He originally still thought this kind of thing must be the matter iron-can people like Mikhail and angels only possessed interest towards ne. Didn't expect Alajina this human and Giant Troll dual-mixed blood surprisingly could also accomplish.
But after a sentence of surprise, Alajina yet still stared directly at Fisher. Exactly like concealed within that gaze was a certain kind of expectation.
Fisher after hesitating for a moment, then probing-like opening the mouth saying.
"...You are truly formidable, Alajina."
"!"
Alajina all of a sudden blushed up. She pursed her lips, even the head also slightly lowered. Even unnaturally utilized her hand to cover her own chest. Clearly exactly heartbeat sped up a bit.
"Or-ordinary... If Fisher learns, definitely will do even better than me..."
Her somewhat bashful voice and this adorable reaction. Making Fisher feel she exactly was like a big-sized Northern Border sled dog like that. If having a tail, right now definitely would precisely be jumping for joy, swaying back and forth. Making Fisher have a bit wanting to touch her head, or hug her stroking roughly like that.
But hadn't opened the mouth acting yet, the Alajina before his eyes hesitated for half a day, again suddenly opening the mouth saying.
"Fisher, that... I'll take you turning around here for a bit. Letting you understand the approximate situation of the Shelter right now for a bit... You still are, besides me the second person coming here... Incidentally, I also have a bit of things wanting to show you, have a bit of questions wanting to ask you."
Originally Fisher actually precisely wanted to directly enter the main topic attempting to contact Dagon. But carefully thinking it over this seemingly is still his first time entering the Spirit World. Right now here looking like exactly within a certain facility. Yet completely ignorant towards the specific situation of the Spirit World. First go understanding the situation of the Spirit World a bit perhaps will be slightly more helpful.
Not to mention, right now Alajina's expression is very serious. Seemingly the words she wants to speak with himself are extremely important words... perhaps only bringing him coming firmly possessed the influence of objective factors, but also absolutely harbored a tiny bit of selfish motive.
"Okay."
"Follow me... David, I'll take Fisher going to the Shipyard there to take a look."
"Okay, Alajina, I will just wait for you guys right here at the hall."
Alajina nodded her head, pulling Fisher then walked towards the direction of the corridor.
Everywhere around seemingly was sealed up. Even to the extent the originally retained windows able to see outside were completely nailed up by wood planks. Ought to be the doings of Alajina and David. Because angels wouldn't use this kind of rudimentary and ugly material.
"Fisher, outside the Spirit World is extremely dangerous. When just starting to come here there were several times almost killed by that scarlet-colored mist outside... That mist will make people produce hallucinations, still can alter Reality. All in all extremely dangerous. So I only then instructed David helping me together seal up here. In order to avoid being influenced by the things outside."
Alajina while walking taking Fisher walking forward. Along the way stepping into the hall and various types of rooms. Inside faintly piled full of innumerable Machine Tools and outlines of Cardinals.
He looked at the road ahead, couldn't help but ask.
"Is there a Shipyard here ma?"
"Mm, but not the kind of Shipyard we imagine... Parked inside originally was a certain kind of Cardinal aircraft for angels to navigate within the Spirit World, I haven't built it out yet ne. Right now, what is placed inside is another kind of thing I built."
Alajina slightly paused. Before Fisher could completely open the mouth inquiring what that thing was, they then stopped at the end of the corridor.
Pushing open the room door before their eyes. Very quickly entering the eyes, is a space of an extremely broad aerospace port shape.
This space was astonishingly large. Then making the two people Alajina and Fisher become minuscule.
"Zi zi zi zi!"
Inside uninterruptedly transmitted the operating sound of a certain kind of welding tool. Fisher raised his eyes looking over. Then precisely saw a gigantic naval vessel parked within the Shipyard. Near that Shipyard, many small-sized Cardinals were precisely responsible for constructing that steel battleship extremely possessing sci-fi colors.
This naval vessel didn't count as large. At most the size of one third of the original Iceberg Queen Ship Ironclad Ship. But looking at it yet was slightly more dangerous than those Steam Ships.
At this moment the naval vessel was still just a semi-finished product. The busy working Cardinals like bees above were all still welding the exterior shell.
"This is..."
"The new Iceberg Queen Ship, want to come up taking a look ma, Fisher?"
Alajina smiled turning her head back. Subsequently took a step back, rather "gentlemanly" placing her hand before the chest giving a salute. Exactly like inviting an unmarried man of the Sardin Woman's Country out on a date like that.
"Wu!"
Fisher sighed a breath. Yet suddenly precisely taking a step forward directly picked her up by the waist. Alajina's gentlemanly behavior hasn't even been handsome for a single second. Then precisely being pulled losing balance by the irresistible tremendous power transmitted from his body. All of a sudden struck with panic stretched out a hand hugging his neck.
Her complexion slightly reddened. Eyes blinking blinking looking at the Fisher before her eyes. Seemingly hadn't realized what happened yet. Making Fisher unable to resist reaching out a hand kissing her icy cold lips. Subsequently only then "lady-like" agreed to her invitation.
"With deepest respect, Ms. Alajina."
"...You... You put me down first, Fisher..."
"What's the matter, wasn't it you inviting me to come up ma?"
"Not... Not going up like this... I am a woman you..."
"Ultimately is it boarding the ship or boarding..."
Alajina rather embarrassedly reached out a hand stopping the next word he wanted to say. Yet also knew Fisher wouldn't easily let her down anymore. Then had to hug his neck slightly tighter.
Those slender long legs tightly wrapped by the black long pants then exactly bent holding within his arm like this, swaying back and forth.
Anyway here there is only her and Fisher...
"Then board the ship first ba, I'll take you taking a look at the structures inside."
"Okay."
Fisher embracing Alajina effortlessly leapt up. The height of several tens of meters arriving in the blink of an eye. He gently landed upon the half-paved deck. The mechanical components inside all could be seen crystal clearly.
After arriving here, Fisher also still hadn't put her down from within his embrace. Instead somewhat curiously looked towards the Cardinal structures below. Yet completely completely didn't see the so-called construction like the crew member's cabin.
He again raised his head taking a glance at the Captain's cabin above. Also exactly discovered there was pitifully narrow. Not too looking like the appearance being able to accommodate many crew members.
"Not needing crew member's cabins and such ma, or is it not finished doing?"
"...Here is already the appearance of about to finish construction."
Fisher retracted his gaze. Suddenly thinking of the conversation between her and Pakhz before entering the room.
And at this moment, the expression of Alajina staying within his embrace actually counted as calm. She looked at the Captain's cabin still without a roof upon the deck. Suddenly exactly smiled.
"This ship, afterwards will no longer have any other crew members. It can rely on me alone and David then can pilot. The weapon systems, engine systems are all completely maneuvered by Cardinals, extremely intelligent."
"Alajina, your crew members..."
"My crew members since I reached adulthood then followed me drifting upon the sea, nowadays almost ten years. Along the way braving the wind and dew, to speak truthfully, I have always possessed no way to repay their loyalty. Even if I distributed the bounties obtained from every mission to them as much as possible, this yet is still far from being sufficient."
Alajina opened her mouth. Inside that sliver of smile possessed a bit of desolation.
"Because there are always some things deeper in peoples' hearts being slightly more important than money. I think, that kind of thing actually exactly is family, is stability. During the time being ambushed by the Black Chieftain, we already lived at Pirate Harbor for three to four years. There are quite a few crew members establishing roots setting up families there, yet within a single day and night entirely destroyed...
"When the betrayal happened, quite a number of sisters exhausted all strength getting off the ship returning to Pirate Harbor to take their families bringing them back onto the ship, yet never returned again. I feel very ashamed towards them. I hope to provide them with a stable environment. So I have already decided. Waiting until the matters here are concluded, I then precisely will leave all Cardinal technologies behind to Pakhz and my sisters and them, then I will pilot this ship by myself leaving."
Fisher furrowed his brows, looking at her side profile. Momentarily unable to understand why she wanted to do like this.
"...You want to leave the sisters accompanying you for this many years? Why?"
"I firstly must seek revenge from the Black Chieftain, must make him pay the price for his betrayal. Possessing me and my Cardinals is exactly sufficient for revenge. Not needing my sisters to brave life and death again... Even if it's another single sister, even if one dies, I also cannot accept again; Secondly, David helped me this much these days. Can be said without him I cannot even achieve establishing a foothold here. So I also want to help him..."
Alajina looked towards the battleship beneath her body, rather proudly saying.
"This battleship can navigate within the Spirit World. I perhaps can help David find the whereabouts of his lost parents ne."
Fisher didn't open his mouth refuting her naive thoughts. Also didn't state exactly how completely utterly dangerous the Spirit World was. Merely just looking at her suddenly precisely asked.
"Besides these two points, still possesses other reasons, right?"
"..."
Alajina opened her mouth. That already bland smile upon that face even more disappeared without a trace.
She seemingly possessed a bit of embarrassment. Unexpectedly pulling out actions unsuitable for women of the Sardin Woman's Country at this moment in time. She unexpectedly lowered her face. Like a bashful man cowardly hiding up.
"I don't know... I merely feel... a bit terrified..."
"Terrified?"
"Mm... Whether it's Pakhz or other crew members. Even if they are other crew members, even if they haven't gotten together with others setting up families yet. I yet could know what they truly want. But myself... I don't know what I want... Merely feeling, always cannot continue staying within Valentiina Turan's Wutong Tree ba..."
Alajina opened her mouth. Passed quite a while, only then arduously spoke that word exactly like a knife severing.
"Here... is not my home, Fisher... is not."
