Chapter 707: 120. Dream (7k)_3
“So, you ca here to change my mind?”
Fisher, however, shook his head calmly and sat in front of Valentina, saying,
“No, I never make decisions for others, you are an independent entity, and I respect any choice you make.”
“…”
Valentina was slightly taken aback and then turned her head with a frown, saying coldly,
“Fine then, pick up the dagger for , and then you can go back to rest.”
Fisher remained seated on the ground, immobile, and shook his head,
“Miss, haven’t our employnt relations been terminated? I am no longer your subordinate, and of course, I can’t obey your orders anymore…”
Valentina’s eyes reddened, and she turned her head angrily to look at the expressionless Fisher before her, a feeling of grievance welling up in her heart,
“You!”
Just as she was about to explode in anger, Fisher suddenly pointed at Valentina and interrupted her,
“Miss Valentina, actually, I have always had a question… If the Phoenix Species can see the future, didn’t any of them foresee their own extinction?”
Valentina’s angry expression faltered slightly, and Fisher turned his head away from her and gazed at the distant Sema Snow Mountain hidden in the night, seemingly seriously contemplating this question,
“Also, it seems that I have never told you why I was looking for the legendary Wutong Tree, have I?”
Valentina’s gloom slightly lifted, and she looked at the mysterious Nali man before her, hearing sothing unexpected from him for the first ti, making her irritation towards his purpose for going to the Wutong Tree dissipate sowhat,
“Actually, like the already extinct Phoenix Species, I received a dreadful prophecy. The prophecy foretold that all of humanity would be wiped out, prompting to embark on a journey to resolve the Doomsday Prophecy. At first, I could maintain a lighthearted mindset while searching for a way to deal with the prophecy, but it wasn’t long before I realized I was wrong…”
Fisher’s gaze beca distant, Philone’s Death Light, Elizabeth’s vacant golden eyes, Erwin’s cold and eerie biotechnology, and nurous other dangers that lurked in history and seed to open a blood basin toward him rotated in his vision,
“The path to resolving the prophecy is far too difficult for an individual… no, even for humanity as a whole. Along this journey, I have witnessed the demise of innocent lives, I have experienced the bloodthirsty betrayal of those I trusted, I have gone through loneliness and plots ti and ti again.”
“Walking to this day, I sotis truly feel exhausted, for no matter how cautious, I still leave flaws; no matter how hard I try, there will be tasks beyond my reach; no matter how much I ponder, there will be puzzles I cannot solve. Unless, I ignored the prophecy from the start, then I wouldn’t have a ho I couldn’t return to, then I’d still be a well-respected gentleman, but perhaps even if I exerted the effort, it wouldn’t make a difference.”
Fisher gazed at the moon in the sky, his vacant expression abruptly ending, and he then suddenly laughed and shook his head,
“But whenever this idea surfaces, I find it unacceptable. For in addition to these deeply engraved hardships, I have clearly encountered many treasures worth cherishing, seen so many people and things worth fighting for.”
Facing the bright moonlight, Fisher’s eyes seed to see the figures of people – those alive, those long gone, those who had long separated from him, those who had deeply impressed him, and also, at this very mont, the Valentina before him with her slightly widened eyes,
“So, even if the final outco isn’t good, even if I have to sacrifice my life for sothing that might not completely solve the problem, I feel it’s enough, at least, I didn’t end up with nothing, and in so sense, I have already achieved my purpose.”
As he uttered the last sentence, Fisher looked towards Valentina, causing Valentina to gently grasp the Magic Ring Fisher gave her, her cheeks reddening slightly as she averted his gaze.
She opened her mouth, finally realizing that the hidden contents in the Wutong Tree might not only relate to Turand Family’s genetic disease, but also concealed deeper secrets, such as the horrifying creature that had attacked her hotel, and this was the real reason Fisher insisted on going to the Wutong Tree.
However, what Fisher did not tell Valentina was, aside from this reason, he was also heading to the Wutong Tree for a foolish woman who hadn’t been ho for a long ti.
Valentina paused for a second, then snorted coldly, and said,
“Heh, so this is the reason you flirt everywhere?”
Fisher raised an eyebrow, sowhat innocently saying,
“Slandering people is not a good habit, it can easily hurt those who trust you. Miss Valentina, look, haven’t I been completely honest with you? I even told you the reason why I went to the Wutong Tree, yet you won’t even tell what you saw in the prophecy, so I should feel more aggrieved, shouldn’t I?”
Valentina blushed at his words, and defensively said,
“I told you, you don’t need to know!”
“Mmm, anyway, I probably can guess what it is, it doesn’t matter whether you tell or not.”
“Ha? What?! You… you know?”
“Guess whether I know or not?”
“…Pah, disgusting, scoundrel!”
