Chapter 223 159 The Last Lesson (Three-in-One, Additional Chapters by the Leader)

Chapter 223 159. The last lesson (three in one, extra updates from the leader)

The waves of the Southern Ocean are still there at night. If you stand on the Iceberg Queen that has slowed down at this time, you will be lucky enough to see this rare and stunning view in the world. It is a scene that is constantly repeated in the dreams of countless navigators.

In the distance, where the sky and the ocean are connected, countless stories seem to be buried in every wave. The moon in mid-air gradually tilts, and outlines countless vague figures on the uneven sea surface. It is a bright semicircle, and along the waves, it seems that there are countless mirrors, and there is a different world in each mirror.

On the deck, Fisher, wearing a white shirt, leaned on the railing and was fortunate enough to be one of the few guests to see this stunning view.

The level of the chef on the Iceberg Queen was very good. The top-notch northern cuisine allowed Fisher to have a full meal on one of the few occasions. Others were also full of praise for it. Later, after asking, I learned that the chef on the ship was also the chef at that time. The royal chef at Alagina's palace.

Fisher finally found out that since Aragina killed her mother and defected from Sardinia, she had been dragging her family with her. The unsightly sailors on the ship were all experts from her former palace with serious official backgrounds. No wonder they He has never failed in banditry at sea for so many years, and this is all guaranteed by his strength.

After Jasmine and Isabel finished eating, they went back to the room to rest and did not come out again. Old Jack was worried that Kalma Holly and the others would cause any trouble again, so he pulled the three little mouse girls back who still wanted to quarrel with the steel knife parrot. After entering the room, Fisher was the only one who smoothed out Old Jack's white bartender's shirt and took advantage of the moonlight to come out and wander around to relieve the pressure in his heart.

He leaned against the railing at the edge of the deck and took out a water-moistened photo from his arms following the bright moon.

The scene in the black-and-white photo is that of Fisher's rental room in Saint-Nary. In the center is his usual workbench, but at this moment, there is no purple lark Hart standing on it.

This photo was left by Renee for herself to contact her. Fisher could use the lark in the photo to call her from thousands of miles away when she was not around. However, since she left Sangli before, the lark in the photo The bird disappeared without knowing where to go.

Although Renee had told herself that she might not be able to contact her if she was busy with something during this period, after all, it had been a few months, and Fisher, who had left Sangli, couldn't help but start to worry about whether she had an accident or something. There was some kind of danger.

Under the moonlight, Fisher looked at the photo for a long time, and then reluctantly put it back into his pocket. As a result, before he could put it in, an annoying drake voice came from his shoulder,

"Are you missing another sweetheart again?"

Fisher glanced at Emhardt, who didn't know when he appeared next to him.

"What do you mean by another lover?"

"Haha, after this period of time together, the great Emhart has completely understood your nature. Although the pursuit of beautiful ladies by brave males will always be a widely circulated story, even in the many books I read There are also many plots that record such stories, but those men who pursue the most and are the greediest will never end up well, or even very miserable. In my opinion, you are such a person. "

After hearing his words, Fisher raised his eyebrows, and Emhardt continued,

"Love is a double-edged sword that coexists sweetness and bitterness for anyone. Many people are even willing to use the bitterness in the rest of their lives to repay the fleeting sweetness. Think about it from another perspective. What if I am involved with you? lady If they find out that you are having an affair with another woman, if the relationship is not deep, of course they can scold you and leave, but what if they are deeper in love and more persistent and unwilling to let go. Gee, that's really interesting. "

"I've only been with you for a long time and I've met a lot. I can't even think about what will happen next. Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried about being killed by those crazy ladies with knives before you can cash out the reward. , you know, I have no fighting ability, I can't help you at all, and at the same time, morally, I stand on the high ground with those ladies and despise you. "

Emhard spun around in a circle and tilted the book cover to look like a stinker. The way he blinked while mumbling in a drake voice made people feel that he was really asking for a beating. Fisher squinted his eyes. She glanced at him and then suddenly said,

"I suddenly understood why you were chased and beaten by Bai Meng. After sneaking into her library, you mocked her about how bad her records were while reading, and then she happened to hear you, right?"

Emhardt's arrogant expression stopped abruptly after hearing Fisher's words. His one eye looked at Fisher guiltily and blinked, and then even his voice became stuttering.

"Hey, how do you know... Bah! What a nasty word to say, this is just a reading evaluation within a reasonable range! It's because that dead devil Baimeng is too narrow-minded, or maybe all devils are such bad guys. I Bet you, Fisher is definitely not such a stingy person."

"No, I am."

"Hmm! You guys are definitely getting angry with shame... let go"

Fisher stretched out his hand to grab him expressionlessly, and then forcefully twisted him into his pocket. He struggled feebly for a few times, and his voice to resist was blocked by Fisher's hand. There was an indistinct "Uh-huh" sound, and after he was completely stuffed into his pocket, he became quiet and motionless.

But even though Emhart was taught a lesson, his words kept falling, and even reminded him of Elizabeth.

The surroundings finally became quiet again, and the moonlight gradually deepened. Fisher stood there in silence for a long time, staring at the cold moonlight. For a long time, the moon seemed to gradually burst out with a bit of biting and cold pale golden light, like Elizabeth stared straight at herself with empty eyes.

"Fisher"

In a daze, he seemed to hear Elizabeth's fragile and hollow call. At the same time, his heartbeat seemed to be caught by her cold catkins. He took a deep breath and wanted to reach out. He held her cold palm in his hand, but a call came from beside him again, which not only dispelled the phantom in front of him but also interrupted his thoughts,

"Fisher?"

Fisher was stunned for a moment and then turned to look behind him. It turned out that at some point, the tall lady in black clothes was already standing next to the steps from the captain's cabin to the deck.

Alagina looked at herself with some confusion. It was obvious that the call just now was made by her and not Elizabeth.

At this moment, the coldness in Fisher's heart gradually dissipated, and the golden moonlight in the distance gradually faded into silver. He also adjusted his expression at the same time.

Ever since Sainte's escape, Fisher had wondered whether he was suffering from "Elizabeth Post-Traumatic Syndrome". As long as he had free time, Elizabeth would follow him into his mind, her fragile, hollow and cold appearance. No matter how hard Fisher tried, he couldn't get rid of it.

"Good evening, Captain Alagina."

Thinking of this, Fisher said hello quite naturally.

Alagina's expression had no ups and downs. She stood in the shadows like a noble nobleman. Her blue eyes were quite bright. After glancing at Fisher's rather thin clothes, she reminded,

"It's a little cold outside at night, so put on your clothes."

Fisher glanced at her coat in his hand, but made no move to put it on.

To be honest, when he put it on just now, he felt a faint scent of sea salt on the collar of this dress. He didn't know if it was from Aragina's hair or skin. Anyway, Fisher felt uncomfortable wearing it. The illusion of wearing women's clothing

But it seems that this is originally women's clothing, but it is women's clothing from Sardinia.

"It's okay, I just want to go back and rest."

"Um"

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Alagina felt a little regretful.

It seemed like she should have said something else instead of this dry response.

In fact, Alagina basically has no experience in how to pursue men. Even if she has a little bit of experience, it is only for men from the Sardinian women's country. As for Fisher from outside the women's country, although she likes Fisher, she feels a little troublesome. .

She had learned from the experience of the crew before. They said that men in other countries did not seem to need to pursue women, but they pursued women.

But Alagina subconsciously felt that this was very inappropriate, because she did not believe in pie-in-the-sky things, and always felt that what she reached out to grasp was more reliable than waiting for others to give her.

"By the way, I forgot to apologize to you."

"Apologize?"

Fisher carried the clothes and walked in the direction of Alagina. He was about to go back to the room along the stairs to rest. When he walked to her side, he suddenly remembered something and said,

"Well, you once gave me that precious family necklace as an agreed evidence for safekeeping. I put it in my rental house, but I was in a hurry this time so I didn't take it with me, so I also I don’t know when I can go back and get that necklace again.”

".It doesn't matter."

After hearing this, Alagina shook her head calmly, her expression still unchanged.

"When my father left that necklace to me before he left, he didn't leave it to me as a souvenir, because he has always been in my heart. Similarly, giving the necklace to the man he likes is what he wants to see, and I also The same is true. Since Fisher still remembers the agreement between us, then its mission has been accomplished, and it doesn't matter whether it is taken back or not."

"Maybe it was because you were in a hurry to leave St. Nali before you had time to get the necklace that I met you on the sea. Fate can be explained in any way. Even the frost phoenix follows the destiny. . So, no need to be sorry, I’m just happy to see you here and be able to help you.”

The night breeze carried her sea salt-like fragrance and rolled up a bit of her hair, exposing her white neck and pink earlobes. Fisher had already taken a step or two up the stairs. After hearing these words, his steps slowed down. There was a slight pause, but he did not pick up Aragina's topic. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at the hazy moonlit night and asked,

"Are you going back to rest?"

".I also want to inspect the ship's power room. The crew said that there seems to be a slight problem with the steam engine."

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest first. Good night."

"Good night."

Fisher nodded and went up the stairs towards his room, while Alagina stood there, watching Fisher leave before covering her chest, seeming to feel a little ashamed and hot. After a long pause, , and then walked towards the cabin below the deck.

Fisher, who was on the stairs, was walking toward the room. When the sea salt aroma belonging to Alagina gradually dissipated, he suddenly felt that what Emhart just said to him was right.

If I hadn't been so greedy, I might not have subconsciously said those things to Alagina.

Fisher, Fisher, from now on, you must be more restrained towards human ladies.

He thought so, but at this time he had already walked to the door of the room. It was late at night, and the lights in Jasmine's room and his own room had been turned off. In order not to disturb their sleep, Fisher did not call Emhart out to apologize to him.

He gently pushed open the door, revealing the quiet and spacious room inside.

Old Jack and the three mouse girls slept on the only bed in the room. Children can't sleep. When Fisher went out for a walk just now, the three mouse girls who had been active all day couldn't stand it. Their eyelids couldn't stop fighting, but they still clamored to go out and fight with the steel knife parrot.

As a result, he fell asleep in Old Jack's arms while talking. Old Jack was old, and after a day and a night of escape, he couldn't stand it and turned off the lights early to rest.

Fisher opened his blanket and lay on the ground. The whole ship shook slightly during the journey. He turned sideways and lay down, closed his eyes, threw away all the thoughts in his mind, let sleep wrap his consciousness, and let it fall freely.

"Huh"

I don't know how long he rested like this, and I don't know when Fisher woke up. Anyway, in the haze, he vaguely felt that someone was approaching nearby. At first, he thought it was an illusory dream so he didn't care too much, but when the cool sea breeze outside the door really hit his cheek, he felt something was wrong.

He opened his tired eyes a little, but saw that the moonlight outside was still as bright as before, but he didn't know when his door opened a crack, and the most terrifying thing was that there was a figure kneeling next to his bed!

Fisher was half awake from his sleep instantly, but he still did not act rashly. He continued to sleep on his side. In his peripheral vision, he saw a whale tail behind the figure beside him, and there was a subtle sound of ears flapping.

Jasmine?

After confirming that the person in front of him was Jasmine and not an enemy, Fisher felt relieved.

But before he could completely let go, his heart suddenly lifted up again.

The reason was that at this moment, Jasmine suddenly put her hands together and turned them into a hammer shape, and then she knelt and moved forward one or two steps to Fisher's bed, closing her eyes tightly, and pointed her hands at Fisher's head.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Fisher."

Wait, she came to his room so late just to hammer herself?

The way she closed her eyes and wanted to give herself a heavy hammer scared Fisher awake. He knew Jasmine's physique. After this, she was afraid that even the floor would be pierced by her, not to mention his fragile head.

"Jasmine."

The next moment, before she raised her hands high and prepared to attack, Fisher quickly opened his eyes to stop her next move.

Hearing Fisher's voice, her movements froze slightly, and her dark eyes opened in panic and looked at Fisher lying there,

"Hey? Fisher, I...I..."

Her head was so panicked that she was about to smoke. Looking at Fisher who had woken up on the bed, she looked down at her clenched hands, and her mouth was shaking with anxiety. For a moment, she couldn't say anything, and even forgot to retract the action of attacking Fisher,

"Sorry!"

The atmosphere stagnated for a second, but Jasmine gave up and closed her eyes again, raised her hands again and smashed directly at Fisher's head.

Facing the strong wind, Fisher's eyes condensed, and he seized the opportunity to suddenly stand up and grab her hands and press her under him.

"Bang"

In fact, the two people's movements were not very large, but it still produced a slight sound.

There are old Jack and Karma in the room now, and Alagina is next door. It will be no fun to make a big noise.

In fact, Jasmine had no strength to resist at all, or she was so panicked after her night attack failed that she was ashamed and afraid that Fisher would say something to her, let alone speak.

And just now, Jasmine would not simply knock her unconscious and drag her back to the sea, right?

"Woo"

Just when Jasmine was about to say something, Fisher gently raised his index finger, indicating that she should not speak, which made her movements stop abruptly, and she pursed her lips a little aggrieved.

After catching Jasmine, Fisher suddenly realized that her hair and eyes had turned completely black, and the black hair was also wet, as if black ink was constantly flowing out of her long hair. Drops of crystal tears also slid down her cheeks to the ground, but there was no sound.

"Pah"

At this moment, the whale's tail under her suddenly patted the ground uneasily. After the sound rang in the room, Karma, who was sleeping on the bed, immediately sat up in a daze. Fisher and Jasmine turned their heads at the same time, but found that she didn't open her eyes at all, and her two little hands were still waving randomly in the air.

"Stinky bird. Awooo"

After saying these two unclear words, she fell onto the bed behind her as if the power was off, and fell into the arms of old Jack.

". Get out."

After Kalma lay down again, Fisher breathed a sigh of relief, then he glanced at the still deep moonlight outside, and then pointed at Jasmine and pointed outside the door.

After this action, he let go of Jasmine, stood up and walked towards the door.

Jasmine, who was lying on the ground, gently covered her chest. She sat up and looked at Fisher who was gradually walking away towards the deck. She hesitated for a second before getting up and following him.

It was very dark on the deck late at night, and the entire Iceberg Queen seemed to be invisible in the cold sea. The cold night wind blew, and Fisher, who had not slept for long at all, suddenly woke up a lot.

He walked down the stairs to the deck again, and as soon as he stood and stretched his body, he heard something on the mast seem to be flapping its wings.

"Plop."

He turned around and saw the colorful parrot standing quietly on the mast, tilting its head and looking at him. Fisher looked at it calmly for a second, and then waved after it confirmed Fisher's identity. He spread his wings and flew to other places, not knowing where he went.

"Fisher"

Behind him, Jasmine, who was holding her arms, was also standing on the stairs with a evasive expression.

Fisher turned around and went back. He could not see clearly in the dim room just now. It was not until he walked out of the room that Fisher discovered that not only her hair and pupils had completely turned black, but even her fair skin had begun to change. A strange and complex pattern grows, and the impact of that glance is great, as if a normally well-behaved killer whale suddenly opens its huge mouth to you, and it is as oppressive as that.

But her expression was still the same delicate Miss Jasmine as before, and she even showed obvious apology for what happened just now.

"Fischer, just now. Sorry"

Hearing Jasmine's voice that was as vague as the night wind, Fisher smiled indifferently and stood in front of the fence.

"It doesn't matter. I wanted to talk to you just before. If you hadn't barged into my room, I wouldn't have had the chance to talk to you. You ignored me in the morning."

"Because Fisher always knew other women, I wanted to take Fisher back to the sea to apologize."

She also walked to the railing next to her, but the distance from Fisher was a full meter. She gently stretched out her hand to support the railing next to her, but as soon as her hands touched the iron railing, there was a trace of There was a trace of slight corrosion, which scared her and quickly retracted her hand.

In this short period of time, has her curse begun to spread to this extent?

Fisher didn't care about the distance. He just looked straight at Jasmine who was looking at the sea in front of him. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly said,

"Actually, what you're really thinking about right now isn't about me, is it?"

Jasmine lowered her head but did not reply. The tail behind her and the long ears on her head also drooped a little.

"Actually, are you repulsed by humans and the world on land? Or are you confused? But because of Isabel, because of me, you want to find some evidence to say good things about the world on land to convince yourself to continue to be with me. Journey, but when Isabel also gradually became taciturn, and I met other women, this method of proof became in jeopardy. The curse on you is the proof.”

Jasmine pursed her lips but remained silent, but her eyes were filled with bright tears. Fisher saw through her inner thoughts and then asked,

"Jasmine, so I want to ask you now, what do you think of humans and me?"

She reluctantly turned her head to look at Fisher, and there were not only tears in her eyes, but also large areas of confusion and bewilderment.

Maybe she had some regrets. She shouldn't have asked her mother to go ashore alone to find her aunt. In this way, she wouldn't have encountered so much suffering, and she wouldn't have been awake all night because of nightmares, and she wouldn't have to pretend when she got up in the morning. Tsukuru stood strong and hit the road with Fisher.

And as kind as she is, even now that Fisher is asking this question, she still wants to lie.

Talk about the happy things you did during your time on the shore, talk about the good people you met on the shore, and keep silent about the fears and uneasiness in your heart.

But facing Fisher's gaze, she opened her mouth and slowly opened up a corner of her heart.

"I don't know either."

"Isabel told me that her family is harmonious on the surface, but in fact, whether it is between brothers and sisters or between superiors, subordinates and friends, they are always filled with calculations of interests, and even want to kill each other at every moment; perhaps , even the small circle of people I live in, Saint-Nali University, is like this; or, in other words, all human beings are like this."

"Fisher, human society is too complicated for me. Once, I could choose the same path as my aunt without hesitation; once, I also praised my aunt's firm courage. But now, I can no longer guarantee it."

"Because humans cherish time and their own goals, they always want to get everything they want in such a short period of time by any means necessary. This makes it very difficult for me to trust humans again. The more I want to believe, the more my body The curse inside becomes stronger."

"Sometimes I can't help but wonder, even if Isabel and I are friends now, will she still use me as a bargaining chip indifferently in a few years or decades? Even Fisher, Even though I like you very much now, sometimes I still can't help but wonder if you will change your mind and abandon me easily when you meet other women."

"I don't even understand the concept of love. I don't even know what Fisher likes to do or eat. I don't know anything about your past or your world. It's just because my heart beats faster when I see you. It's just that Because I feel disgusted when I see other women approaching you and saying I like you just because you care about me.”

"If the love that can be aroused by such a simple reason is not even comparable to that of my aunt and Blake, how can I expect that our ending will be better than theirs?"

".I'm sorry, I'm just too scared. I'm so scared that I don't know what to do or what to do. No senior whaleman has ever told me what to do. So... ugh."

Fisher looked sideways and saw that in her hanging black hair, at some point, a few crystal tears kept condensing and falling. Although there were many tears, they never took away the confusion and uneasiness in her eyes. .

It is true that Jasmine is only a young whaleman, which is why Fisher has always subconsciously taken care of her before this.

Fisher regarded her as a student and an immature child. If she were a normal lady, she would have been eaten up by Fisher long ago if she was so easy to deceive. But for Jasmine, Fisher could not do this.

But after all, children don't need answers to questions, and Jasmine needs it now.

Fisher did not continue the topic. Instead, he suddenly reached into his pocket as if he suddenly remembered something, and pulled out a simple parchment from the Asian girl's supplementary manual. This was exactly what he got from studying Jasmine. 20% reward,

[Poetry of the Fairy in the Lake],

It was written in scrawled Nali language,

[I’m here to make a fortune, I’m here to sing victory, I’m here to reach the top, I’m here to wait for your return. 】

Under the moonlight, Fisher looked at the parchment in his hand, and suddenly told a story that seemed irrelevant now,

"Jasmine, Gedelin I who founded the Nali Dynasty is undoubtedly a very outstanding hero. You have seen his story in the library. At the age of 25, he led his troops to revolt in Lake Nali and started from the west. The west coast of the mainland, the most desolate place at the time, moved eastward and dealt the most fatal blow to the crumbling Central Empire. "

"He loved people from different places. His outstanding personality charm impressed many heroes. Even Shivali and Kadu did not hesitate to praise him and left a large number of poems praising his achievements. In this way, To commemorate his great achievements. Such a glorious figure actually killed all the bureaucrats of the Central Empire on the way to the march. The royal family of the Central Empire even survived because of his butcher knife, including innocent women and children. ”

"He burned many classics left behind by the Central Empire along the way, massacred the original church members, and made the Pope kneel in front of him and kiss his palms. There was countless blood on his hands. The souls of the innocent people who died because of him can be recovered from the Holy Spirit. Nali queued up all the way to Kadu, but even for such a person, he waited for your mother to come back until his death."

"Why?"

Hearing this, the pupils in Jasmine's eyes widened slightly, as if she was so surprised that she couldn't believe it.

But Fisher just smiled slightly and continued,

"Have you not always wanted to know who your mother lent her sword to? Now I can tell you the answer. Your mother, the Great Ocean Emperor and the God of Destruction of the Ocean, personally lent her sword to Nali's The first emperor Gedelin I. Judging from the fact that the life span of a whale race is one year equal to eighty years of human beings, your mother lent the sword to the poor boy Gedelin I who was only 25 years old in 720 years before this year's Gedelin Festival. "

"It was your mother who left the writing under the water channel of Lake Nali. Your mother knew as early as when she lent the sword that based on human lifespan, the sword would not be taken back until the death of Gedelin I. But Why did she still lend the sword to Gedelin I?”

Fisher read the poem about the Lady of the Lake in his hand. Perhaps he had already gotten the answer.

"The reason is that your mother and Gedelin I fell in love, but in the end, your mother did not stay on land like Mignonette and chose to separate from him. In fact, the real agreement between your mother and Gedelin I was to wait until he was 35 When the world is brought to peace, he will return your mother's sword and marry her."

"Gedlin, who was kept in the dark, realized his dream at the age of 33 and led his army to defeat the huge empire that had spanned the entire continent for thousands of years. However, he did not establish a country in the original capital of the Central Empire, but traveled all the way back to his country. Born in the poor place of Saint-Nali."

"At the age of 34, he founded the country in Saint-Nali, waiting for your mother to come back and abide by the agreement; at the age of 35, when the ten-year agreement came, he built luxurious royal courtyards for your mother by the lake, but your mother But still haven’t come back”

"Official history records that Gedelin I got married at the age of 37. This is a very dangerous age for the emperor of an empire. I am afraid that only Gedelin I, who covered the entire continent, dared to do this despite everyone's opposition. Waiting for the decision.”

"And doesn't your mother know that King Gedelin I has died a long time ago? Then why does she insist on sending a whaleman ashore every eighty years to deliver messages? Why does she still use the rather childish nickname of her child? [Son of the Sea] Write it in a letter and send it to the heirs of King Gedelin I? "

Jasmine stared at Fisher blankly, but suddenly, she thought of the magic agreed between her mother and the human.

"Bad money...magic?"

"Well, your mother knew that he had an offspring through the blood magic of the oath, so she decided to leave the sword on the shore to continue to protect his offspring; and the long-dead King Gedelin I did not die until his later years at the age of 87 next to Lake Narli. , he never left Saint Nali, and even left his royal tomb next to Nali Lake.”

"Jasmine, Gedelin I was waiting for your mother to return until his death."

Fisher handed the poem about the Fairy in the Lake to Jasmine. In fact, he knew about this matter when he and Jasmine were in the waterway under Lake Nali, but due to the tense situation at that time, he never had the chance to talk to her. Jasmine said this.

"Of course, I am not telling you this to show that there are good people among humans, and not all of them are bad people. What I really want to tell you is that a person's merits and demerits and evaluation are so vague that it is difficult to judge. There were still many reasons at that time. The people who died when Gedelin I died resented him, and even now there are still you who are moved by his love story with Ocean Emperor."

"Jasmine, the world is like this, and the established facts will not be changed based on anyone's feelings. No matter how painful and uncomfortable your heart is, no matter how unwilling you are, it will have no effect at all. But the feelings and progress you get after experiencing these things are What is real is the thoughts you have for these things and the actions you take to achieve them.”

"The grudges will live on forever, but we have to grow from it."

A little blue light flashed in Jasmine's dark pupils. She looked at Fisher for several seconds, until her mind had completely memorized his appearance, and then she suddenly turned her head. He looked at the calm sea under the boat.

The night wind blew, Fisher's words stopped, but Jasmine spoke,

"Fisher, I have to go back to the ocean."
