Chapter 237 13 Lion Race

Chapter 237 13. Lion race

"Phoenix?"

Fisher turned his head and glanced at the face of the man with feathers growing out of his eyes, and then glanced at Alagina. He called Alagina Phoenix. Was it because Alagina was a descendant of the phoenix species or because she had ice on her body? Prince sword?

Emhard took a look at Alagina, and then whispered in Fisher's ear,

"It shouldn't be, Fisher. The Phoenix Son holding the Ice Prince Sword is not only a male phoenix, but also the one with the most violent temper among the three Phoenix Sons. How could he have children with humans? And even if he has children, according to Tracing her maternal origin, the Phoenix blood in her body is almost diluted."

"Is it possible that it's an atavism?"

Fisher suddenly remembered a study he had done before. At that time, a wealthy businessman in Saint-Negli suddenly found Fisher and said that his daughter suddenly turned into a witch one day, but it did not conform to the maternal inheritance. According to the rules, the girl's mother is not a witch but an ordinary human being.

He went to the wealthy businessman's house to investigate and found that the girl's magic circuit was indeed a witch's circuit and not a human's. But the problem was that the girl was their biological daughter who had been raised since she was a child. There was absolutely no possibility of being wrong. If Unless one day she showed the characteristics of a witch and turned the stone statues at home into countless jumping frogs, the old father might not have realized that his daughter was different.

After Prudential Fisher looked up their family's history, he discovered that their family had emigrated from Kadu a long time ago. In other words, there was once a witch among the family members of the wealthy businessman's ancestor.

The reproductive laws of demihumans like witches are very interesting, because all witch demihumans are female, they must marry other races, and the probability of reproduction is no different from that of humans, but what is interesting is that among the children they give birth to There can only be one witch.

If a human and a witch marry, no matter how many children they want, there will only be one witch child, and it will most likely be the first child. All the other children will only be of the father's race and will not show the characteristics of the witch.

Fisher's previous research believed that the witch part of the blood of children of non-witch races was diluted, that is, they did not inherit the characteristics of witches at all.

But the wealthy businessman gave counter-evidence, because his ancestor was a non-witch child born to a witch, but the blood belonging to the witch never disappeared and was passed on forever, until it bloomed in her daughter and destroyed her. Became a real witch

Fisher calls this symptom "atavism", but the specific case is currently only that of the witch girl, and he has never seen other atavism phenomena.

But if Alagina has the atavism of the Phoenix species, she should have had the characteristics of the Phoenix species when she was born, such as feathers and wings, but Alagina's body is undoubtedly a complete human being

Sure enough, after hearing Fisher's question, Emhardt didn't think Alagina was an atavism.

"I don't know what atavism you are talking about, but judging from the literal meaning, if her ancestor was a Phoenix species, her noble bloodline would not be diluted to this extent. I guess that the feathered man He must have sensed the Ice Prince Sword she was carrying and mistook her for the Phoenix Prince."

Alagina frowned after hearing this. She felt that the item that Ice Prince Sword really wanted was the precious treasure that the feathered man said.

Although the man in the black cloak had completely lost his eyesight and vision, his expression was very clear. He looked at Alagina in front of him with emotion and said in a trembling voice,

"My master, we have been waiting here for a long time, following your orders, without fear of time and curses, just waiting for your return. Please also take away the treasures and free us from the curse of suffering."

At this time, Alagina discovered that he was reaching out and scratching the inside of her cloak very hard. It seemed that the growth of those feathers was painful and itchy, making it very unbearable for him, but as long as he touched it gently with his hand, The feathers were like blades stuck in the flesh, causing blood to ooze out from where the feathers grew.

And he and others have endured such torture for countless years in order to abide by this mission. He is very loyal to the [Phoenix Species] he calls it, and is willing to endure such suffering without any complaints. He only hopes that his master will go well. Take away the items entrusted to them.

Thinking of this, Alagina finally spoke,

"Where is the thing?"

"Here! Dear Master, please follow me! All your most loyal servants are there to guard that item. But they have been so severely eroded by the curse that they can no longer move their bodies to salute you. Please forgive me."

He felt quite guilty and kowtowed to Alagina on behalf of his friend, then stood up and looked into the island, indicating that the object was in that direction.

Alagina glanced at Pahz next to her, and with great experience, she flicked a flashing light mark from her pocket. If anything happened to them, they could use this thing to send a signal to the Iceberg Queen.

Then walking towards the interior of the island, Fisher and his party saw a hollow cave connecting the beach and the island. The interior was twists and turns, but the scenery inside was very scary. As soon as they entered, everyone was startled.

On both sides of the cave, countless humans wearing ancient northern clothes were crawling in an orderly manner. Each of them seemed to be swallowed by feathers, which was even more serious than the person hiding under the cloak just now. Their seven orifices were completely occupied by feathers, and they remained motionless in the most pious kowtow, facing the direction of the island.

"They. Persisted in the master's mission until the last moment. We took turns to guard the item. Now I am the only one left. I dare not think about it if you don't come again."

The feather man in the black cloak covered his face quite sadly, and gray-white feathers fell on his face, exactly the same as the feathers that Fisher and his friends saw in the hull just now.

Fisher couldn't understand their words, so Emhart translated for him at any time, but it was always slower than others. He felt that it was necessary to learn the language of the North.

After listening to his words and combining what he saw on the ship just now, Fisher had a rough guess about the situation here.

It seems that in the ancient North, a phoenix once gave this group of humans a very important item, asking them to take this treasure away from the North and find a place to hide it. Before the phoenix arrives, they are responsible for guarding this treasure.

But this treasure has a very strong curse ability, which makes these humans infected with the strange disease of growing feathers. They have been waiting for the phoenix to take this treasure away to break their curse.

"We are here, master"

They followed countless crawling figures in sailor suits, captain suits, and first mate suits and gradually walked to the end of the cave. Outside the cave was a lush primeval forest. Looking along his finger, Fisher saw that the cave was a stream, and at this moment, the stream was completely covered by ice.

In the center of the extreme ice, a blue scroll made of an object that looked like ice lay across it. The flickering light was like the divine light of a phoenix. At first glance, it made people feel that it was not an ordinary thing.

"Oh my God, that's a scroll made of phoenix's true ice."

Emhart looked at the object, one eye brightened, and said to Fisher's ear.

"True ice. Are you talking about the true ice in the northern legend?"

"Yes! That's the thing. I've only seen it in the classics. It's said that this thing is naturally cold and transparent like jade. It is a symbol of the phoenix and can communicate with the spirit world. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."

True ice is not ice, but a mineral that grows on the branches of frost phoenix trees in northern legends. It is a product unique to the phoenix species.

Remember that it was mentioned before that the phoenix species is a race that is very sensitive to fate. They can see the vague future through the wind and snow, and therefore predict the invasion of the chaos species and make sufficient preparations in advance, defeating the chaos species.

The source of their ability is Zhenbing. Legend has it that the Phoenix will place their offspring in front of a mirror made of Zhenbing, letting them stare at the light of Zhenbing with their hazy eyes, so that they can gain the ability to watch their fate. That is why they are so sensitive to fate.

"Wait, no, Master!"

At this moment, the black-robed man waiting nearby suddenly changed his face. He suddenly felt something, looked at Alagina in a panic, and said,

"Quick! Quick, Master, take this treasure away. I felt your compatriots in another direction of the island. The aura of the sword blade must be the violent Ice Prince. He landed on the island in person. There is absolutely no other person! The power of Zhenbing enveloped this island. Only you and your compatriots who have the three swords can see this island. Quick, take the treasure and go. I will go to delay his steps! "

Hearing the words of the flustered man, Fisher and his group looked extremely strange. Fisher also secretly glanced at Alagina, who was also confused.

From what this guy said, he didn't seem to be a servant serving the Ice Prince, but also a mortal enemy of the Phoenix Prince who had the Ice Prince's sword?

But he seemed to be tortured by a long curse and his mind was a little unclear. Not only was his eyes blind, but he could only roughly judge that there was a sword on the shore, but he couldn't judge which sword it was, so he recognized Alagina by mistake.

Your master is speechless when he has such a smart person like you. You can even recognize people wrongly.

However, this also explains why this island was not recorded on the sea chart before. It turned out that the power of Zhenbing enveloped the entire island, and people who did not wear the three Phoenix relics could not see it.

"Wait, someone is approaching."

Just when Aragina was about to say something to explain, Fisher's premonition of the dragon race suddenly started, and his hair stood up slightly, sensing that something dangerous was approaching.

"Ah, someone has already got there first? Babuzak, your situation slowed us down."

Sure enough, the next moment in the distance, a rather bold female voice suddenly came. Although the distance of the voice could be recognized instantly, the voice was very loud and clear.

Fisher frowned, and a black sword handle fell into his hand. When he looked into the distance, he saw a woman in revealing clothes slowly walking out of the dense jungle.

The woman had long, lush, fluffy golden hair, much of which fell on her shoulders like a lion's mane, but she was actually a solid woman with bronze skin and a very cool look.

On the fluffy golden hair, two small round ears like waffles popped out, shaking from time to time. The clear muscles on his body were strong and powerful, hiding huge explosive power.

She carried a long alloy straight knife on her back, and two strange-looking muskets on her waist, which seemed to be a pair of matching relics.

Just when Fisher was sizing her up, she quickly noticed Fisher and his group standing in front of the ice. She looked stunned for a moment and then laughed, revealing an obvious tiger tooth in her mouth.

Behind her stood a man wearing dark red Shivali clothes but with a gloomy expression. He stood very straight, but his temperament was quite strange and his face was a little pale.

After hearing the woman's words, he curled his lips disdainfully and said,

"It will take a long time to accurately locate the island based on clues. As for them, we can only say that they are lucky ghosts who happen to have the Phoenix relics."

"Don't be so tough. If you can't do it, you can't do it. You have to be sincere when you admit your mistakes, and you have to stand at attention when you are beaten."

The tall woman with bronze skin laughed boldly and let out a loud voice like a lion's roar. The fangs in her mouth were very long, not just tiger fangs.

Fisher quickly recognized that it was an adult female [Lion Race], a dangerous sub-race unique to the Southern Continent. It is distributed entirely on the west coast grasslands of the Southern Continent. It is famous for its huge size and strong aggression. famous.

As a whole, the power of females of the leonine race completely overwhelms the males. In the tribe, the male leonine race is an important strategic resource for reproduction. They are often robbed, kidnapped, and imprisoned by the female leonine race that invades the tribe to give birth to lion cubs. Moreover, the female leonine race There are three seasons in a year that are the breeding season. During the breeding season, the desire to attack is strongest.

The lion-man's pupils glanced around Fisher and the others, then licked his lips and shouted to Fisher and the others,

"Hey, over there, let's talk about it. Could you please ask if you want the scroll in the ice cube? My boss needs that thing very much. If you give it to us, there will be a big reward~"
