Chapter 179 115 The Sound of Horse Hooves in Klein Mountain (6000)
Chapter 179 115. The sound of horse hooves in Klein Mountain (6000)
The carriage quickly drove out of the city of Saint-Nali and began to move northeastward outside the city of Saint-Nali.
The overall terrain of Saint-Naly is high in the north and low in the south, and nine rivers flow out from the mountains in the north and run through the entire urban area of Saint-Naly. Seven of the rivers run from northwest to south, only the Klein River and the Barlem River. It's northeast to south.
The peaks in the northeast are much lower than the mountains in the northwest. Behind the Klein Mountains further north of the Klein River is the huge lake named after the entire country of Narli, Lake Narli.
As mentioned before, further out on the outskirts of St. Nali University is the royal mausoleum of the Gedlin royal family. The location of the royal mausoleum is near Lake Nali.
As the private domain of the royal family, Nali Lake is not only the royal mausoleum of generations of kings, but also the treasury collection that collects the treasures of the Gedlin royal family and the royal library that collects books.
In ancient times, it was the treasury of Narli. Since the power of the Golden Palace was greatly weakened by the parliamentary reform, it has become a symbolic memorial museum. However, it is rarely open to outsiders. It is only open to the public during the New Year or Gedlin Festival. open.
This year is special because King Gedelin IX is almost at the end of his life, and the Golden Palace does not have the energy to hold such an event again.
Fisher's carriage was driving towards Klein Mountain and passed Saint-Nali University along the way. Jasmine sat in the carriage and watched the university getting further and further away, waiting to see the empty "Southern Continent Asian Protection" "Association", she looked back blankly, quietly ran to the front of the carriage, opened a small slit, and looked at Fisher who was driving the carriage in front of him.
"Fisher"
"Um?"
Behind her, the little animal-like voice sounded, causing Fisher to look sideways at her eyes and ask,
"What's wrong?"
Jasmine pursed her lips, then shook her head and said,
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm very grateful to Fisher for helping me like this. I don't have anything to give you in return. If I were alone, I wouldn't know what to do after being kicked out of school. The human world has nothing to do with me. It’s complicated for me, even though I love being around Milica, Isabel and you.”
After hearing this, Fisher quietly turned his head to look at the scenery on the road ahead. The carriage was not driving very fast, and it felt like a stroll.
In the distance, Klein Mountain, which flows out of the Klein River, has slowly appeared in the field of vision. It is just the beginning of autumn, and there are still many trees full of leaves on the mountain peak.
"No need to thank you. Although it is hard to admit it, in fact, it is difficult for humans to have pure good people, and I am the same. At first, I helped you hide your identity to satisfy my personal curiosity about demi-human scholarship. Later, I helped you because I learned about you. My aunt can make relics, a skill that has been lost to the world for a long time. I am very interested in helping you now."
"Probably because I was angered by the successive attacks from the old immortal behind the Pink Pavilion, and by the way, I was bewitched by you, a pretty whale girl."
Jasmine, who was hiding in the carriage, immediately blushed when she heard Fisher's words, her ears were already flapping, and she was about to flap her tail, but suddenly she thought that this was the carriage that Fisher had spent a lot of money to rent. , so it stopped abruptly in mid-air and became motionless.
In fact, she has the same frugal habits as Fisher, because when she first came ashore, she had no idea about human currency. She relied entirely on the scholarship subsidy from the University of Saint-Germain for food, and could only eat one piece every time she went to a restaurant. Two to three minutes full.
Now you can eat freely at Fisher's place. Although Jasmine has given all the money given by Bai Mu and the others to Fisher for food expenses, the naive Jasmine always wonders whether the money is enough and whether she should eat less. Be more frugal.
With this unnecessary thought, Jasmine also began to worry about Fisher's expenses.
"Does Fisher think I look good?"
The soft question came through the slightly opened door. Jasmine inside had already taken off the cloak on her body, so Fisher could see her proud figure and innocent and beautiful face. face.
Some were not sure, but her eyes were fixed on Fisher, wanting him to tell the answer, so Jasmine asked.
"Yes."
".hey-hey."
It was just a simple word from Fisher. She smiled stupidly again, and then closed the carriage door completely. There was another collision sound in the carriage. I don't know if it was her tail or body that accidentally touched the carriage door.
"We are almost at our destination. My training will be very rigorous after that. I hope you are prepared."
However, Fisher's tone became a little more serious after that, and Jasmine seemed to be back in Fisher's class.
"Yes, Teacher Fisher!"
Jasmine in the carriage immediately responded a little loudly, but soon, she seemed to realize something again, and repeated it again in a low voice, but this time the title was changed from "Teacher Fisher" to " Fisher".
The carriage swayed and soon arrived at Fisher's destination. Under the Klein Peak, a river fell from the mountain, merged into one at the foot of the mountain, and headed towards the city of Saint-Nali. flow in the direction of the area.
After Fisher parked the carriage, he untied the reins of the horses pulling the carriage and tied them to other places where they could graze. After confirming that no one was nearby, he let Jasmine get out of the carriage.
They then walked some distance into the mountains, and then camped near a mountain stream. The view here was wide, and standing on the edge of the cliff, they could just see the direction of the Klein River in the distance.
However, observing the situation of the Klein River is not the most important thing. The most important thing now is to completely stabilize the unstable factor Jasmine.
The previous teachings to Jasmine were all theoretical. Fisher was actually skeptical as to whether Jasmine could really master balance. However, her mother was a talented player, so her daughter should not be too bad either. Probably so.
Fisher walked back to the wide forest, held his cane and said to Jasmine in front of him,
"Now let's test your stability."
"Um!"
Jasmine nodded and looked at Fisher attentively, but after subconsciously responding to Fisher, she tilted her head in confusion and asked,
"Hey? Testing stability, what?"
Before she could finish her words, the cane next to Fisher's hand suddenly lit up, and illusory threads and buzzing halos suddenly appeared beside him.
"Crack!"
He waved his hand to Jasmine without saying a word, and the spinner stretched along the ground like a whip, making a crackling sound and slapping towards her.
"Woo!"
Jasmine's pupils shrank, she subconsciously held her head and crouched in defense, and then stayed there motionless, looking like she was waiting to die.
Fisher's eyes instantly turned into dead fish eyes, and the cane also pulled the magic away from her, but the Dance of Bees and the Spinner still brushed past her body, feeling the strong wind and the friction of the magic. The sound made her body tremble even more.
Seeing Jasmine's "poor, weak and helpless" look, Fisher showed no mercy and said,
"Jasmine."
"Yes!"
"What do you mean you are motionless, waiting for me to use magic to cut off your head?"
"Coco, if we have to fight, I won't be able to control it... then the curse will come."
Fisher, who already had a general understanding of the operation status of the blessings and curses of the whale race, looked at Jasmine who was shrinking in front of him. He didn't care about her excuses and directly exposed her ruthlessly,
"You were awake when you entered that state. In essence, it was not that you were unable to control it, but that you were afraid every time you met an enemy and subconsciously wanted to escape. You yourself said that when the power of the curse is too strong, your The accompanying sea beast will be painful and will bring you to the end of death. You still want to escape now. When will you wait until you are willing to face it yourself? "
"You can escape from humans, you can escape from monsters, you can escape from being captured, so how do you find your aunt? Do you rely on a curse that can get out of control at any time? Or do you have to pin all your hopes on my help? superior?"
Fisher's cold reprimand made Jasmine purse her lips uneasily, but this time she did not respond. She wiped the corners of her eyes, stood up directly, and assumed a fighting posture towards Fisher. One look at it is like asking Fisher to do it all over again.
Fisher's teaching words came to an end. This time, the light on the cane lit up again, and the same magic rushed out and attacked her again.
Fisher's warning words worked. This time she finally no longer foolishly held her head and crouched in defense, but struggled to escape to the side.
Seeing her running around unsteadily while swinging her fish tail, Fisher knew that she hadn't used her full strength yet.
When the curse controlled her body in the space magic of the Pink Pavilion, she could smash the wall of the building directly with her physical strength alone, not to mention her steps that were as fast as swimming in the sea.
Her progress was slow, which was something Fisher expected. Fisher didn't expect to fully unleash her potential in just one sentence, otherwise his training would be meaningless.
Fisher decided to increase his strength. His fingers pulled the illusory thread and accelerated towards Jasmine. As soon as she made a slow movement, the illusory thread grabbed the tail of the whale. She turned around and grabbed the illusory thread. Although her strength was It was much bigger than usual, but still not at the top.
Fisher's eyes moved slightly, and countless threads stretched out again, sweeping from all directions like a spread, surrounding Jasmine like a big net.
"Haw!"
She made a cute sound as if begging for mercy, but Fisher showed no mercy, and countless high-speed rotating dances of bees cut down trees and streams like saws and headed towards her.
Looking at the dance of bees that was getting closer and closer, Jasmine suddenly lost her soul. All teachings and balance were forgotten. She had to close her eyes in panic, and in the next second, there were lines of ink-like bees. Light overflowed from her eyes, but compared to the amount of curses that night, it was not much, and it should still be within the normal range. After all, Fisher was not as scary as the human bugs created by the healing room.
But Jasmine still couldn't hold back the feeling of escape as the curse took over her body. The next second, her hair turned black, and the softness in front of her body shrank in a familiar way. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was like ink. It was full of greedy aggression towards Fisher. At first glance, he wanted to knock down the human in front of him and take him back to the sea.
She took a sharp breath, blowing the branches next to her like a whirlpool and trembling wildly. Now is the time for Jasmine, the whaleman, or the prophecy of the world destroyer, to fully unleash her firepower.
But as Fisher said, once she enters this state, she will completely lose her mind and involuntarily blast around without distinguishing between friend and foe.
Jasmine was like holding a peerless sword. Every time she swung the sword, she was holding the blade instead of the hilt, causing one thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred losses to herself.
After a mouthful of air was swallowed into her chest, she suddenly grabbed Fisher's spinner and stretched out her hand to tear the spinner into pieces.
The next second, Jasmine, who had regained her freedom, jumped into the air, as gracefully and powerfully as a killer whale twisting its body and leaping out of the water. A little drop of water fell on Fisher's cheek. The next second, she suddenly Falling down, past the dance of bees thrown by Fisher, towards him.
Her expression was filled with a sense of dislocation between ferocious hunting and mating. The sharp teeth in the corners of her mouth were piercing out like tiger teeth, and she was in front of Fisher in an instant.
Fisher's expression changed, and his dragon-like body was full of firepower. He threw the cane beside him violently, and then his center of gravity sank, and his hands were spread horizontally to welcome Jasmine's arrival.
This dance-like movement looks very different from Fisher's calm expression, because this move is not his own ability at all.
This is a demonic combat method that Eliog wrote for Fisher to learn. Fisher had practiced it many times in front of her before, but she was not satisfied with it.
Now that she has been gone for a long time, Fisher's understanding of these tactics has deepened a lot, but this is the first time that he has applied this tactics in practice.
I saw Fisher's eyes moving slightly. Taking advantage of the moment when the other party came closer, his open hands like a dance circled forward and hugged Jasmine's waist suddenly, and at the same time, he leaned forward without giving her any chance to react. With one twist, he twisted her upside down in a semi-circle in mid-air and slammed her to the ground.
"boom!"
Fisher, who had the physical strength bonus of the dragon race, made this move very lethal. It immediately made a big hole in the ground. Jasmine's whale tail trembled slightly, but her eyes were dark. The curse seemed to be knocked back by Fisher, revealing her original light blue eyes.
This was Fisher's first time to use Eliog's tactics completely. During training, he always thought that these ghost things Eliog wrote were "devil dance class tutorial materials". After all, there were many postures on them. They are all very weird and look like dancing. Now they are used on the out-of-control Jasmine, and the effect is surprisingly good.
At this time, Jasmine's eyes were slightly red in the pit. Faced with another out-of-control mistake, she did not dare to look directly into Fisher's eyes. As long as she apologized a little aggrieved,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fisher"
Well, it seems that because of this guilt, she once again called herself "Teacher Fisher".
Fisher shook his head, stretched out his hand to her, and said,
"Get up. I don't expect to be able to make you balanced in one go. Just take it step by step. But you have to know that we don't have much time, so you have to work harder."
"Um"
Fisher helped her up. While explaining, he looked at the afternoon sun in the sky, which was blocked by leaves. With some plans in mind, he turned to Jasmine and said,
"Let's go and pack up the camp we're staying in first. I've brought camping tools from home. We'll go hunting later in the evening so that you can get some exercise. Let me remind you, if you can't catch the prey, you won't have dinner."
As soon as she heard that she might have an empty stomach for dinner, Jasmine pursed her lips nervously, as if she was undergoing some huge test, so she nodded decisively in agreement.
Her positive look made Fisher wonder if he should change the training method. After all, Fisher understood the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. For example, if Rafael needed to be treated with provocation, could Jasmine also use "" What about the method of "giving meat because of jasmine"?
It was just a joke. Fisher felt that this method could not fundamentally improve her fear of hiding, so she quickly gave up.
Arriving a little later, Fisher looked at the erected forest camp with satisfaction, so that the place to stay in the past few days was almost ready.
Fortunately, it hasn’t rained much in Saint-Nali since autumn recently, so we don’t have to worry about the campground being flooded at night like in the summer.
After settling the issues at the camp, Fisher planned to take Jasmine to the mountains to find some wild animals for dinner.
The ecology near Klein Mountain is good, and because it is close to Nali Lake, the private domain of the Gedlin royal family, many hunters will not go here.
There is no law to protect wild animals in Nali, but in fact if you enter the forest without sufficient preparation, you are very likely to die. Don’t expect the police in Nali to come to rescue you. You won’t know where your bones are when they are found. What year and month it is.
Fisher's outdoor exploration ability is very strong. He was able to use muskets proficiently as early as when he was at the Royal Academy. In addition, studying the unpopular knowledge of demi-humans also requires him to read various notebooks left by adventurers during the pioneering period. Many of them have recorded how to survive in the wild, so Fisher is quite experienced.
Not to mention that he had successfully driven a carriage through the wilderness of the Southern Continent before.
Fisher did not take action in this hunting trip. He was only responsible for finding the traces of the prey. How to catch it was up to Jasmine. Fisher followed her not far behind to prevent her from getting into any accidents.
"Well, there may be a [secondary boar] ahead, a wild boar species with a big head, a small body, and very long tusks. This wild boar is quite aggressive and is just right for training. It will be his dinner tonight."
"Wild boar?"
Jasmine had no idea what the creatures on land looked like. When she heard Fisher describe the beast, the smell of roast chicken first appeared in her mind, and then she was curious about what the wild boar tasted like and whether it was delicious.
After she swallowed her saliva subconsciously, she nodded to Fisher and then ran over there alone.
Fisher was not in a hurry to catch up. Now they were near the top of Klein Mountain. From this angle, looking north, you can see a huge lake lying quietly in front of the mountain range, like a dark eye staring at the sky.
That was Lake Nari, where King Gedlin I sent his troops. This lake looked like a closed lake, but actually there was a river further north that extended to the Southern Ocean, but it was not in the direction of Saint Nari.
Next to the lake there were golf courses and villas that were reclaimed for the royal family to vacation. The Royal Library and the National Treasury Collection were both here, but now they were all closed. There were still many royal soldiers guarding the entrance to the mountain.
Seeing the group of soldiers in white clothes, Fisher retracted his gaze and slowly followed Jasmine's footsteps in front of him.
Not long after, in front of a grove of trees, Fisher saw Jasmine looking cautiously in the direction of the bushes in the distance.
Looking towards the bushes again, there was a lean, red pig-shaped creature that was about as tall as an adult's knee. At the same time, there were many wavy white hairs on the back of the wild boar.
The white shape was particularly similar to the traditional pattern of Schwari [Second Nian Pattern], and this kind of pig was distributed in both Nari and Schwari, hence the name Second Nian Wild Boar.
Jasmine was still a little nervous. She felt scared subconsciously when she saw the long fangs of the wild boar, but thinking of Fisher's advice, she knew that she couldn't keep avoiding fighting and avoiding the things she was afraid of.
She had to face it herself.
Jasmine encouraged herself for a long time, and then raised a huge wooden stick beside her. In fact, she was really strong. She stared at the wild boar intently, and didn't even know that she could easily lift a stick higher than herself.
Under Fisher's gaze, she slowly raised the wooden stick in her hand, took a deep breath, and then aimed the wooden stick at the wild boar, and slowly stood up.
"Swoosh!"
Just as Jasmine was about to rush out with the wooden stick, a sound of breaking air came in an instant.
Fisher's face changed, and just as he was about to rush to Jasmine's side, the wild boar fell down. When it fell, there was an arrow tail feather on its neck. The arrow was so powerful that it pierced the wild boar's neck directly.
Jasmine was silent instantly, and looked at the direction where the arrow came from with some vigilance. After a second or two, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out in the mountains.
Fisher's face changed slightly, because in the next moment, a familiar person ran towards them from a distance.
It was a female subhuman with a human upper body and a horse lower body. However, compared with the Nari long skirt she wore when Fisher met her before, she was now wearing tight clothes that she wore when running with Fisher.
She held a bow in her hand and a quiver on her body. It was obvious that it was the arrow she shot just now.
This centaur subhuman was Hiat from the South Continent Subhuman Protection Association. She ran out of the bushes happily humming a song, and then saw Jasmine who was still holding the huge wooden stick.
Hiat, who thought she was going to be robbed, changed her face, raised her horse's hoof high and aimed at Jasmine, and at the same time, she shouted in Nari language,
"I am Hiat, a centaur from the Saint Nari South Continent Subhuman Protection Association. Miss, although I don't know what kind of subhuman you are, we are not enemies. If it doesn't work, this wild boar is for everyone, how about we each take half?"
The overdue chapters have been completed, haha, I have to take a break.
