Chapter 243 19 The Entrance to the Phoenix Tree (Two in One, Monthly Ticket Plus More)

Chapter 243 19. The entrance to the sycamore tree (two-in-one, extra updates with monthly ticket)

"Who are you working for? Nali? I don't believe you are really a pirate. At least not a pirate from the Sardinian Kingdom. The men on the ships of the Sardinian Female Kingdom will only be delicate and spoiled lovers. ”

After Valentina agreed to Fisher's request, the tall gentleman Nari jumped down from the tree and landed next to her.

Valentina looked him over, and the wheelchair turned slightly so that her body could face Fisher accurately.

She saw that the wheelchair under her was completely made of exquisite machinery. From the outside, you could even catch a glimpse of the gears that were constantly rotating inside. There were many embellishments added to the frame and structure of the wheelchair. The northern kyanite mineral that plays a decorative role makes the entire wheelchair both practical and beautiful, which can be said to be valuable.

"Pirates are indeed not considered pirates. I have told you before that I am a scholar interested in demi-human races, and the research on phoenix species is certainly within the scope of my research. Why, don't I look like that? ?”

"It doesn't look like that."

In her heart, Valentina still tends to believe that Fisher is lying, but since he can tell such an obvious lie, it also shows that he is not afraid of her suspicion, and even if he is on guard, it will not affect him in achieving his goal. .

From this point of view, it would be suspicious if this man from Nali who was on the pirate ship of Sardinia came up with a perfect set of words.

"If that's the case, the Shivali scholar named Balzac in your team also studies the history of the northern sub-races. Why don't you find him strange?"

"He is studying the history of the Northern Territory, not the history of the sub-races of the Northern Territory. The legendary Phoenix species in the history of the Northern Territory is an inevitable topic in history."

"Then just think that I am also a scholar who is interested in the history of the North."

Fisher didn't care what Valentina thought of him. According to his guess, the sycamore tree planted by the noble lady of the Turan family in search of the phoenix must also have her own ulterior secrets, but as long as she needs to hire other When people help themselves, there is no contradiction between Fisher and her actions.

Seeing Fisher following Valentina's wheelchair towards the beach, Celty and Hedilyn, who had never met Fisher before, were sizing him up. Steam Man Heldor spat. The steaming steam said nothing. Balzac gave a slight "tsk", but said no other words.

"Then show the secret of the scroll as we agreed, and I will give you the reward you need. If you need anything, just ask Heldor and Balzac, they will help you."

Fisher didn't pay much attention to their gazes. Instead, he glanced at Heldor.

When he got closer, Fisher realized that this guy was actually made of steam machinery. In other words, he had no human flesh and blood at all. This suddenly made him suspicious of the person in front of him. Is it a human being or some other creature?

Could it be that the steam technology in other countries is now so advanced that it can actually create a consciousness composed of steam machinery?

"Zizi. Hello."

"Hello."

Fisher responded, then unceremoniously sat in front of the gold box, quickly got into the mood, and carefully looked at the surface of the gold box.

"Zizi. There is a curse similar to magic fluctuations around the Zhenbing Scroll, and the gold box that seals it is called the [Anti-Magic Gold Box], which can inhibit the ability of the magic contained in it to stir up the world's reverberations. , has a very good inhibitory effect on it, but once it leaves the island, the intensity of the fluctuations will increase significantly, causing the curse to leak out. "

"Zizi. Our original plan was to bring it back to the north and use another more powerful space relic to open the scroll. However, the relic is too huge to move. Now it can only be moved on the island. Try opening it to read the information."

While Fisher was looking at the gold box, Heldor next to him was also explaining the current situation to him. But in fact, Fisher already knew the general situation of this thing, otherwise he would not be in the tree before. When thinking about the new rank system, I think of solutions.

“I have a concrete idea that I can try.”

Fisher's black eyes looked at the gold box in front of him, and he touched it with both hands, roughly determining the size of the box, and then said,

"The effectiveness of the curse is very similar to the reverberation of the world caused by magic. In other words, you only need to use the reverse idea to construct a magic that leverages the reverberation of the world, and you can distort its original reverberation, making the curse ineffective."

"Zizi. Are you saying that you want to design a brand new magic specifically for it to suppress its curse effect?"

After hearing Fisher's words, Heldor's voice, which was somewhat blurred by the steam, fluctuated significantly. He was obviously frightened by Fisher's words.

As mentioned before, designing magic is a very dangerous process, which requires very high sensitivity to the world's reverberations. Once a design error occurs, the reverberations will backfire and turn it into a mummy that has been squeezed dry.

Most magicians only ask to be able to engrave existing magic emblems, because even existing magic is very difficult to fully penetrate.

But as the last disciple of the great magician Haytham, Fisher certainly has learned his true teachings, not to mention that Fisher's soul sensitivity has been increased by the manual.

The fact that he can only engrave the magic of the ninth ring does not mean that he does not have the theoretical knowledge above the ninth ring. On the contrary, the only thing he lacks is enough magic power, otherwise he would not need Renee's help before.

When engraving magic with Renee, her role is more like a large magic power bank. The main engraving process is still completed by Fisher, after all, it was Fisher who taught Renee the magic theory before.

"Well, I probably have the prototype of the magic structure, but I need you to provide me with magic materials, prepare according to what I said"

After Fisher finished speaking, he quickly read out several magic materials belonging to different major categories and their specific quantities, which made Heldor in front of him subconsciously spit out a breath of steam after hearing it.

"Zizi."

Hardor suddenly realized that the amount of magic materials that Fisher said was too much, enough to engrave a magic of the ninth ring or above.

He even began to suspect that this magic didn't need so many magic materials at all, but Fisher was just taking advantage of his boss, but he had no evidence and didn't dare to say anything.

Valentina behind him had no knowledge of magic at all. She glanced at Heldor, who only had a mechanical mask and no specific expression, and didn't know what it meant.

"Zizi. I understand. I'll prepare it for you."

Seeing Heldor nodded and got up to take the ship to their flagship to get the materials, Fisher concentrated on building the specific structure of the magic in his mind.

In fact, Fisher wanted to take advantage of Valentina, but not completely. After all, this magic was just designed by him, and he was not sure how much he would use.

If there was more, he would take the extra part himself, and it would be normal if it was used up.

Valentina watched Heldor go to get the magic materials, and her light silver eyes flashed a little.

Heldor is the top magician in his family. If he is not as good as the Nari people in front of him in terms of magic attainments, then Fisher is likely to be a senior member of the Nari Magic Association.

Considering his age, there are only a handful of senior members in this age group.

Not long after, Heldor came back with the ground magic material powder. He also carefully noticed that Fisher did not bring the engraving tool for engraving magic, so he brought the one he often used.

The magic engraving knife used by the magicians in the North has a special shape. There is a clear arc on the blade, so a slight force will make a very rough scratch on the carving.

Many people think that this is caused by the rough character of the people in the North, but it is not true.

The wind and snow in the North are too thick. In the past, not everyone had the conditions to engrave magic next to the warm stove. The extreme cold made their fingers not dexterous and the engraving materials hard, so they designed this magic engraving knife with better force.

Fisher had used this kind of knife for a while before, well, it was to go against Damian.

He carved a sound recording magic on the stone tablet that played Damian's bad words in a loop and placed it at the entrance of the Royal Academy for every passing student and professor to hear.

At that time, the stone tablet for carving magic was too hard, so only this kind of northern carving knife could be used. As a result, not only was the stone tablet taken away that afternoon, but Fisher was also summoned to the office by Damian to sit in jail. It was Elizabeth who went to the office and took him back to the library.

But at that time she said, "I have wanted to do this for a long time."

Holding the heavy carving knife, Fisher applied the magic material while looking at the appropriate carving position. The correct and standard magic engraving posture even Balzac, who was in a disdainful state next to him, couldn't help but look at him, not to mention Heldor, who was originally a magician.

When magicians engrave magic, they are similar to those famous sculptors, but the magical feeling of the emblem and the world slowly connecting is not something that other professions can imitate.

Fisher's posture was upright, using a standard classical engraving method, very similar to the engraving method of the Cardo Church. In fact, he knew a little bit about everything, and he usually preferred modern engraving, but now he was in front of Valentina, so he deliberately used the classical engraving method for disguise.

"Zizi. You want to engrave on the surface of the relic? But this is likely to damage the function of the relic itself. Once the function of the relic fails, we will be swallowed by the curse in an instant."

"What? Are you kidding?"

Balzac, who was observing Fisher's posture, was frightened by Heldor's simple words and jumped up. He was afraid that he would become a monster covered with feathers like those guards, so he quickly said,

"No, you are playing with our lives, not to mention that you are using the magic you just created, which is even more dangerous."

Fisher did not move, but explained,

"Now the scroll is wrapped by the relic, and the only place where it can be engraved is here. If it is a little further away, it may not work because of the relic. As for whether it will damage the relic, you don't have to worry. I am confident in my skills. If you are afraid, you can retreat a little further and come back when I am done."

"Miss, let's go over there to hide first."

Heidilin came behind Valentina and held her wheelchair, wanting to take her away, but she still stared at Fisher's carving movements, and just stretched out her hand gently, indicating "no need".

Balzac, who was originally ready to jump away, saw that the other accomplices did not leave, and he felt embarrassed to leave, so he gritted his teeth and sat back in his previous position, forcing himself to remain motionless.

But at this time, the muscles in his buttocks were very tight, and he would jump away and run away immediately if he found anything wrong.

Fisher took a breath, and then quickly entered the state and began his own engraving.

In fact, Heldor's worries were right. The forging skills of the relics have been lost now, and no one knows the specific properties and current status of each relic.

Some relics are very fragile, and a slight damage to the appearance will cause its function to fail; some relics are very tough and will not break no matter how they are hit or thrown, such as Emhart's broken book.

But even the most fragile relic is fine, as long as the magic material is laid out with the emblem, the knife is light and accurate enough. For the relic, it is like a feather stroking its body, and there will be no feeling.

Fisher's slender fingers are extremely flexible. His arms and wrists do not move much and maintain a stable posture. His fingers deftly push the thick Northern engraving knife to leave an almost unobservable knife mark on the surface of the relic. On the knife mark, the powder composed of magic materials covers the path and forms the basic pattern of the emblem.

As a ring head named [Isolation] was engraved, the steam from Heldor's mouth became slower, for fear that his voice would make Fisher's hand tremble, and then everyone would become a chicken covered with feathers.

What's more, the magic he learned with [Isolation] as the ring head is basically all magic that silences sound and blocks sight. He really doesn't know how to use this magic to expel the curse.

But what he didn't know was that it was some kind of gaze from the spirit world that caused the scroll to carry a very serious curse, and they couldn't see those gazes.

"Buzz!"

Just as the magic was being drawn out bit by bit, Fisher suddenly had a tinnitus like an explosion in his ears, but even so, his arm engraving the magic did not move at all, only the corner of his eye twitched because of it.

He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the golden box, and saw that at this moment, around the golden box, a series of eyeballs like stars in the Milky Way began to emerge again.

The eyeballs seemed to be right in front of Fisher's eyes, staring at the human in front of him with unknown meanings.

The magic circuit on Fisher's arm became brighter and brighter, and everyone thought it was a normal reaction when he engraved magic, but in fact, he was like this because he felt some kind of gaze.

But he looked at the countless eyeballs in the void without fear, and even the movement of engraving the lines became faster and faster.

It was not until this time that Fisher suddenly realized that this eyeball was different from the gaze of the spirit world he had seen before.

The eyes I saw on the demon's ferry before were all blinking, and they were very separate from each other, more like independent individuals distributed in another space, but the eyeballs next to the golden box were connected, just like countless eyeballs growing from the position of the eyes on a face.

In other words, all these eyes should belong to one individual?

"Buzz"

Fisher stared at the crazy spiritual eyeball in front of him, but twisted his wrist again and engraved the magic completely.

When the last stroke fell, the magic emblem above the entire golden box began to light up with obvious brilliance, and then the crazy gaze seemed to be covered with a layer of blindfold and disappeared in an instant.

A drop of sweat slid silently from Fisher's cheek. He let out a long breath and slowly put down the carving knife in his hand. He scanned the surroundings and found that everyone around him was watching him quietly, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing him.

The same thing happened to Valentina, who was sitting in a wheelchair, except that her fair fingers began to rub the only Turan family ring on her hand that was not engraved with magic.

"It's done."

"Is it done now?"

"Yes."

In response to Balzac's question, Fisher stretched out his hand and opened the golden box in his hand, which frightened him so much that he jumped up and stepped back several steps. But when Fisher took out the cold True Ice Scroll intact, he came up to look at the True Ice Scroll that looked like a work of art in disbelief.

"It really worked!"

"Zizizi. What a superb engraving technique, it brought me back to the scene of taking classes in magic class when I was young."

Heldor did not look at the scroll first, but looked at the magic emblem left on the golden box. He saw that the emblem was finely carved. He had never seen the entire magic emblem before, and he did not know the meaning of each part. It was obviously a newly designed magic.

It was at this time that he suddenly caught a glimpse of the almost unused magic material powder at Fisher's feet. Fisher had already reached out to collect the magic powder.

"."

Fisher did not open the scroll, but handed it to Heldor next to him, looked at Valentina and said,

"We agreed that now my work is done, it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

Valentina looked at him deeply, then nodded and replied,

"We will never go back on our word. Heldor, please open the scroll."

"Zizzi."

Heldor's mechanical arm suddenly exerted force and opened the Perfect Ice Scroll that had been sealed for many years. As a burst of fierce cold air dispersed, a piece of mineral material but as soft as silk was revealed inside. Drawings come.

"Is this a map?"

Balzac, who was next to him, couldn't wait to take a look at the contents on the unfolded map, then trotted to the boat, took a pair of pen and paper, and recorded the contents in detail.

"It's true! It's true! It's a map recording the location of the entrance to the Frost and Snow Sycamore Tree! It really exists!"

He was quite excited to write and draw on the paper, and copied the map with detailed location records. It was obvious that he was a good drawing hand. Fisher took a cursory glance and felt that it was similar to the real map. The details are basically the same.

"Zizi. There is something written on it, [Key to the Gate, Seal of the Six Clans]."

"Yes! Yes! The six races must refer to the six dependent races that swore to follow the Phoenix race to the death! The Cangbird race, the Moon Rabbit race, the Cloud Cat race, the Troll race, the Slime race, the Snow Fox race, etc. Marks? But these races have forgotten all their past history like everyone else outside the North. Where can we find these marks?"

Balzac finished recording the detailed map, and then covered his head in distress.

Fisher also saw the contents of the map as agreed with Valentina. However, the more Fisher looked at the location marked on the map, the more familiar he felt, even a little too familiar.

Wait a minute, the witch Carlo had given herself the address of the ruins where the undead witch's black hair was found in the Sema Mountains before leaving Sangli. Why do you feel that the address she gave is near the location below the location given by the scroll?

In other words, the place where the Witch Research Institute discovered the Witch's black hair was near the sycamore tree in the Legend of the North?

Moreover, Carlo told himself at that time that their former leader also disappeared there. Could this be related to the frost and snow sycamore tree?

But they didn't see anything similar to the sycamore tree, or did they say that the frost and snow sycamore tree was not a tree in the objective sense at all, but something else?

Fisher touched his chin and had many questions.

After Balzac had recorded the things, Heldor put the scroll into the gold box for preservation.

"Zizi. This is troublesome, Valentina. The marks of the six races are too far away now. It will be very troublesome to find them."

Valentina crossed her arms, then shook her head decisively and said,

"Now that we have clues, the next step is to collect these marks. We will set off back to the North tomorrow."

She didn't hesitate at all when she said this. Fisher even suspected that she wouldn't care if the conditions for entering the sycamore tree were more stringent. This also showed that what she wanted to get through the sycamore tree was very important.

After saying this, Valentina looked at Fisher next to her and suddenly asked,

"Fischer, you have the same ambition as Wutongshu, and you have great abilities. If you want, I am willing to hire you to join my team. I can satisfy you at any salary."

Fisher also shook his head and refused without much thought.

"No, thank you for the invitation. I just want you to fulfill your promise."

There are still a lot of unresolved issues on the Iceberg Queen, not only old Jack and Isabel, but the most important thing is the second officer Ossie of the Bluebird species. He hasn't studied it yet. It's obviously impossible to leave. After all, he doesn't have any extra. The research spot was given to another Cangniao.

After hearing "fulfill the promise", Valentina's face became a little weird. Why did she feel now that Fisher wanted to study Phyllis was serious?

".In that case, so be it. We won't leave until noon tomorrow. Before then, you can come to me to cash in your reward."

Seeing Fisher and Valentina talking like they were in a daze, her subordinates around her were a little confused, but it was too late now, and Fisher didn't plan to study Phyllis now. Be prepared to come early tomorrow morning.

After harvesting everything, Fisher waved his hand and said goodbye to them, preparing to return to Alagina.

Watching Fisher's retreating figure, Balzac couldn't help but be curious and asked Valentina what agreement she had reached with Fisher.

Valentina touched the ring on her hand, but still said Fisher's request.

"Hey! I'm back! Look, there are a lot of things. The pirates even gave me a bag with treasure!"

Not long after, on the beach in the distance, a muscular lion man ran back with a happy expression on his back carrying a huge bag.

As she ran, there was an obvious metal collision sound in the bag, which was obviously filled with valuable treasures. This was the share she got after dividing it with Pahz.

But as she ran, her speed slowed down, and her face became a little confused.

Because according to Balzac's scumbag character, Phyllis thought that he would inevitably sneer at her when he saw her return, but she didn't expect that after she spoke this time, not only did he not speak, but everyone else Didn't even reply to myself.

This silent and weird atmosphere really confused her, but she still subconsciously took a look at her companions, only to find that everyone except the expressionless guy in Heldor had a weird look in their eyes. look at myself

Phyllis was a little embarrassed and threw the treasures full of treasures on the same place. She thought it was because she was passive and slow in digging for treasures and made her boss angry.

"What...what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? I...I didn't touch the treasure on purpose, and nothing dangerous happened, right?"

"No, it's nothing."

It was Valentina who broke the silence with a sigh, touched the ring on her hand and spoke to Phyllis,

"By the way, I have a task for you tomorrow morning."

"Huh? Boss, tell me earlier, the task is not a piece of cake? Just leave it to me. I'll do the work, don't worry!"

Poor Phyllis didn't realize that she seemed to have been betrayed by her companions. She thought she was just going to do some simple hard work.

Balzac's eyes were a little gloating, while others were a little sympathetic. Valentina embarrassedly touched the ring on her hand and waited for a while before responding with a "hmm".
