16.Surprise(1/3)
The human coalition forces in Nali ahead have new movements, which is a very urgent military matter for the Red Dragon Palace in the south. The first thing Rafael did when he came back was to issue the corresponding orders, and he also needed to confirm the current situation of the army.
Fisher did not follow her in, but waited for her in the city and observed the situation here.
The city that grew up here did not have a specific name. Even after living there for several years, this was not a long-term residence for the Red Dragon Palace, so the name of their original stronghold continued here: Higurashi Valley.
But in fact, it is still quite far away from the Higurashi Valley where the real bat species live.
Originally, the Red Dragon Palace had not yet raised its troops, and was hiding its power in the southernmost Rimu Valley near the edge of the coast. However, since Rafael ignited the war in the Southern Continent and emerged in front of the world, Nimu Valley has been regarded as a lost place and was used by many people in the Western Continent.
warships bombed.
Even if they hid under the ground, they could not escape Shivali's cannons and magic, so later on, they moved some distance north, entering the hinterland under the mountains, and used the original Higurashi Valley as a line of defense.
At this time, many different kinds of demi-humans were walking through Higurashi Valley City. Of course, there were also humans among them. That’s why Rafael said that it would be much more convenient after coming here. At least he wouldn’t be able to wait on the street at this moment.
It will appear abrupt, that is, some demihuman women often seem to wonder when a handsome human male appeared here.
Of course, Fisher didn't think that their gazes were between men and women, he guessed that they just suspected that he might be a spy from the north.
The residents here are dressed simply and are all busy. It seems that everyone is operating as efficiently as a part in a machine.
"Fisher."
Just as he and Emhard were looking around, Rafael also came back behind her, but it was different from the conspicuous appearance in armor when she came. At this moment, she put on a light red robe and covered herself with
Everything is covered.
Immediately afterwards, she also put the robe on Fisher's body, turning their two clothes into a "couple suit."
"Raphael?"
Fisher glanced at Rafael, whose face was hidden under the cloak. The brim of the cloak was loose, just enough to accommodate the soul horns on her head, preventing them from popping out suddenly.
"This is the costume of the Wishing Tower. Like you, I can't just show my face, otherwise we will be surrounded soon... When I came back before, I always came back with the army. The people watching next to me can
Blocking up the streets, there was almost an accident a few years ago... That's it, you and I won't notice."
Rafael looked at the bustling city around him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
It can be seen that she has put a lot of effort into establishing Longting. She wants such peace to spread throughout the Southern Continent so that they will no longer be scattered and bullied like in the past.
Of course, they will also have conflicts with each other, but the main conflict now is between Green Dragon Court and Na Li in the north.
"They love you very much..."
"I don't know either."
Fisher smiled slightly and glanced at the grown-up dragon next to him again. Without saying anything, he just followed her to the next stop, the Household Court.
"...Because the war is not over yet, in order to directly allocate resources to the greatest extent, the wartime system is still adopted here. For many things, the Prayer Tower requires the direct intervention and handling of Longting officials. The Household Affairs Court is
Such an existence, Mill is working in it now."
Not long after, with such a word-for-word introduction, the two of them had passed through the streets and the busy residents of Red Dragon Court, and arrived at the depths of the city, the heart of Red Dragon Court.
In the past, in the glorious and vast Fermat Baharon, these existing administrative agencies were not only separated from each other, but also had parallel projections to the lower levels.
In the past, the Four Branches Dragon Tribe was a unit under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Court, and there were also agencies under it that performed the same responsibilities. Not only were they under the management of the Four Branches Dragon Court, but they were also directly subordinate to the Ferma Baha Dragon Court. In the past
During the years, this system helped Ferma Baharontine properly manage the Southern Continent until their demise.
This also made it difficult for Fisher to imagine that a unified country with such a perfect system and culture would disappear into the long river of history overnight.
But he also understood that behind this speed that exceeded ordinary imagination and rules, there must be extraordinary power.
For example, according to Rafael, if the Dragon God of Fima Baha is still alive and still lying in the ruins of the Dragon Palace, then why did he not take action when the Dragon Palace perished? Is it because the dragon race is better than the other two species?
These myths are weak, so Fermat Bach, who advocates strength and brutality, does not value them?
Fisher doesn't think so. Fema Baharonting believes in him as the source of god and bloodline, so it's not just wishful thinking...
In other words, the problems faced by Longting at that time were so serious that even the results that Fisher saw today were already achieved by Fermat Bach.
If this is the case, it means that a demigod can still not protect the Longting created by his own heir...
Is it because of the Mother Goddess?
Is it because of the fellow demigods he fought with?
Or is it because like in the ideal country...
In any case, now that time has passed, the Red Dragon Palace that lives here is no longer able to recreate the various institutions of the past. It can only take the names they inherited. In fact, they are all in one place at the moment——
That is under the prayer tower.
"We're here, Fisher."
Fisher's thoughts were pulled back by Rafael's reminder. He looked up and saw that standing at the heart of the Red Dragon Pavilion was a tall building made entirely of stone.
The building is simple, and signs of rush work can be clearly seen, which corresponds to the situation when the Dragon Courts were forced to retreat to the south for confrontation. But even so, it can still be seen that the stone tower and the surrounding buildings look like a clawed man.
The giant dragon, this foreign cultural building that is coming towards you is completely different from the building like the Green Dragon Pavilion that looks like the god of Nali.
There were walls guarding it, and there were heavily armed soldiers standing outside the door. However, under the leadership of Rafael, the Dragon Queen, Fisher and Emhardt, who was looking curiously in his arms, were successfully led.
Got in.
The sizing eyes of the soldiers behind him were keenly sensed by Fisher. Obviously, they were also curious about who the person hiding under the cloak and standing next to the Dragon Queen was...
If it weren't for his height, they might have thought it was Priest Jasmine.
As Rafael entered the prayer tower, the hall on the first floor was spacious, and there were many demihumans working inside. Fisher even saw obvious division of labor areas on the wall.
Household Court, War Court, Magic Court, Prayer Tower, King's Court...
As Rafael moved forward, after the office area reached the royal court at the rear, the number of people around became much smaller, and Rafael was finally able to put down the cloak on his head.
"It's good to be here. There are no outsiders here. It's also the usual place for me to live in the royal court..."
"Lord Rafael! You are back!"
"Lord Raphael!"
Fisher's ears twitched slightly, and Emhardt in his arms flew out and landed on Fisher's shoulders as if watching a play. But for some reason, when he saw the two figures appearing in the distance, he felt a little nervous.
He looked away in disappointment.
I saw two white dragons who were as tall as Rafael. They were both wearing white short robes and each had a short sword at their waist. Behind them, they were taller than Rafael.
The longer and thinner tails swayed slightly, revealing their excitement when they saw Rafael. Their faces were about 90% similar, and there were two branches on the left and right foreheads respectively, emitting milky white light.
of long horns.
At this moment, they each held a draconic baby in their arms, one big and one small, but they were all no more than three years old. They had yellow dragon scales sparsely growing on their bodies, and they looked dull and quite cute. They just
Staying like this in the arms of the two draconians, looking curiously at Rafael in the distance and Fisher next to her...
"Fasil, Kehir, ah, why is Mir's child here? Leer, Raul, call auntie quickly."
"Abba, Ababa, Abba..."
Yes, the two draconians who appeared in front of them were the personal guards Fahir and Kehir who were also captured with Rafael at that time. Five years later, the two of them, who were already older than Lal, also
It has passed the coming-of-age ceremony and has grown horns that represent the dragon's strength.
"Master Rafael, Master Yaliel came here before, and by the way, she wanted to see Sister Mir's baby..."
"Then Sister Mill brought me, but Hal was already in school, so I only brought Li Er and Luo Er..."
"But after Lord Yaliel left, Sister Mir seemed to be busy with something urgent just now, so she temporarily left Li Er and Luo Er in our care..."
"Master Rafael, you don't know, they are really making trouble, I...hey, Fe...Fei Fisher?!"
"Yes, yes, they are really... Fisher?!
"
As in the past, even after they became adults, Fahir and Kehir continued to talk to each other as if they were connected. Coupled with their almost identical looks and expressions, sometimes they really misunderstood who they were.
who is it...
But what's better than before is that they now have horns, one on the left and one on the right, which can be used as a clear sign of distinction.
When they saw the smiling Fisher appearing next to Rafael, the two draconian sisters who were crying and complaining all shut down at the same time. After several seconds, Hill finally spoke,
"Could it be...could it be that the Nali ghost came?"
"So fast? I...I didn't hear anything..."
Rafael's previously smiling expression darkened instantly. If they hadn't been holding children in their hands, she might have really punched them.
"Fischer just came to see me. He has nothing to do with Nali's matter. Don't you still trust him?"
At this point, their stunned expressions instantly dissipated. They also smiled and said to Fisher in Nari language,
"I'm just kidding... I didn't expect to see you after so long..."
"Welcome back, Fisher Benavidez."
Fisher also nodded and replied,
"It's rare that you not only learned the Nali language, but also remembered my full name...Long time no see, Fahir, Kehir."
To be continued...
