Capítulo 961: Chapter 46: Illusory Morning Light (2)
As a result, she wasn’t angry at all. Instead, she watched the slightly annoyed Fisher with great interest, looking extrely pleased.
But before Fisher could get angrier, her playful smile slowly faded, though it still maintained a crooked arc, the aning behind it beca completely different.
She reached out a finger towards Fisher’s ear. Fisher instinctively tried to dodge, but in front of her Mythical Rank presence, all his actions seed rather futile.
Fisher just looked at her face, while the hair on his body seed to feel the breeze from her reaching gesture, sensing that her hand was about to reach his ear even without looking.
Yet, even though Fisher’s body and senses had reminded him countless tis that this woman was about to touch his ear, the finger she extended deliberately did not touch him, stopping just a short distance from his ear, maintaining a teasingly close distance.
“We’re caught in a bind right now, but leaving is simply impossible. If the internal regulations of the continent are this strict, imagine how its borders might be. Instead, why not take a gamble and head to the Royal Capital to uncover the truth? That way, the Nineteenth Rank Remiel and Lord Sariel will have a reason to protect us, and the Holy Land, comparable in scale to the Tree Continent, can be swayed by your value.”
“Ha, Angels are adept at arrogance. You could provide information to them anyti. Don’t even think about the promises Pandora made; it would be a miracle if she doesn’t abandon us as pawns.”
Helair withdrew her hand from beside Fisher’s ear with a playful smile, shook her head aningfully, and said,
“Well, I’m here, aren’t I? I won’t let you beco pawns… your ears are indeed very sensitive, Fisher.”
“…”
This woman is truly…
Helair didn’t explain further to Fisher. Her words were, of course, heard by Hooked kiss and Mikhail too, who each deliberated on the credibility of Helair’s words. Only Tangze Asuka, this naive sweet girl, was oblivious to the current situation; she was rely watching as even soone as reliable as Mr. Fisher was slightly overwheld by Helair Angel’s advances…
She sowhat envied Helair’s aura and strength. Although Helair Angel usually appeared sowhat nonchalant, she exuded imnse presence when it mattered. Asuka wished to be soone like that.
But Tangze Asuka hadn’t completely shaken off the excitent from last night’s study of magic under Mr. Fisher. She was a bit absent-minded earlier. Without a basic understanding of Magic, she might still be daydreaming about whether she could beco a legendary Magic Girl or sothing.
“If there are no objections, let’s set off. The Phoenix Species’ base is far from here; I need to use a bit of magic to transport us there.”
“No objections from .”
Hooked kiss rather honestly raised a hand to vote, while Mikhail sighed and said,
“I was already free; I shouldn’t have agreed to co on this ssy trip with Michael. But since I’m here, I can’t leave anyway.”
Co to think of it, he was indeed the most unfortunate among them. He had been obediently working for Michael for half a year, freedom within reach, only to be dragged back into action by the storm stirred by the unexpected guests Tangze Asuka and Fisher.
Helair glanced at him with a smile. The morning light in her hand grew increasingly bright. Before that morning light could engulf them entirely, she said,
“Hm, if you hadn’t left, you wouldn’t have had so many troubles, right? After all, you don’t have a particular place to go; Lord Michael might even continue to take you in?”
Mikhail was slightly taken aback, perhaps reminded of sothing, as a rare expression of awkwardness appeared on his forty-year-old face,
“I’d better not…”
Hooked kiss glanced curiously at Mikhail, seemingly wanting to ask what exactly his relationship with Michael was. Sothing seed off from when Helair had him steal Michael’s belongings.
But he didn’t have ti to ask. Helair mischievously and without warning activated the light in her hand, swiftly swallowing them all up, leaving them completely vanished.
And in the distance from where they disappeared, on the walls of Chun Country, just past an earthquake, the dark-haired Elf Chun quietly watched in that direction, seemingly pondering sothing.
…
…
The warm morning light wasn’t a real, tangible existence, but the feeling it brought was so comforting.
Like having stayed on the coastline all night, with night worn away, seeing the sun rise slowly over the horizon in an extrely exhausted mont; like just waking up, woozy, being awoken by a gentle radiance; like in one’s twilight years, though unable to walk anymore, feeling invigorated upon seeing the sun.
But although these lights were so real, Fisher simultaneously felt an indescribable illusion and contradiction, as if the light was rely an illusion, similar to the particularly vile personality of Helair Angel.
The morning light quickly disappeared, and when Fisher opened his eyes again, he was quietly lying on a green slope. He sat up dazedly, turned his head to look around, only to see Tangze Asuka, also sitting up not far away, clutching her head.
