Chapter 560 38 The Moment of Confession
"How do you plan to handle the intimate relationship between you and our priest Jasmine?"
As soon as Yariel's words came out, the ancestral courtyard with only the two of them became extremely quiet in an instant, as if even the noises of children playing in Longting outside were gradually fading away, leaving only Rafael's mother in front of her. words echo.
Fisher was stunned for a moment, and the defense that had just been removed because of the soft atmosphere was gradually picked up at this moment.
It seems that he is not too naive. As the mother of the Dragon Queen and the wife of the previous leader of the Nanzhi Tribe, Yariel is far less talkative than she seemed just now.Perhaps since she came to Longting with Rafael, she had a preliminary understanding of herself.
Facing Fisher's momentary silence at this moment, Yariel's mother-like smile became weaker and weaker. She stared at the tea in her cup, which was faintly flickering, and there were countless, It represents the fire light of Longting's ancestors.
Urged by the slightly flickering candlelight, she spoke again,
"Although as you can see, Raphael has grown up, and I am getting old. I have never been involved in Long Ting's affairs, and she no longer asks me about her decisions. But as her mother, these private matters are irrelevant. I can't hide it
"Yesterday, when Rafael brought you back from the outside, I knew that Jasmine, who has helped Longting a lot over the years, also has a close relationship with you. Rafael even had a gap with her because of this, from yesterday to I haven’t met Mr. Fisher once, I hope my judgment is wrong, and I hope your connection with Priest Jasmine is not as deep as I imagined.”
Facing Yariel's words, Fisher also looked at the cup that had already been drunk in front of him. After a moment of silence, he admitted without hesitation,
"Aunt Yariel, you are right, Jasmine does have a lot to do with me."
Yariel, who got the answer, looked at Fisher in front of her flatly. She had already expected the answer, so she continued to ask,
"So, what are you going to do, Mr. Fisher?"
"."
In fact, the greedy Fisher had already prepared a standard answer in his heart a long time ago, and no one wanted to give up, so what was before him was never a multiple-choice question. It is to stabilize the situation as much as possible and let each other accept each other.
Although as mentioned earlier, the family situations of the ladies who are familiar with Fisher are as simple as Fisher's, but Jasmine and Raphael in the southern continent need to consider this issue.
Because of this, the goal of "stabilizing the situation" and "accepting each other" will of course extend to the other's family, and Yariel is the first hurdle he has to face first.
Fisher took a deep breath, looked up at Yariel, and after thinking for a second, he continued,
"Aunt Yariel, maybe you already know my origin?"
".Know some, but Hill and the others said that you are a Nali native of the Western Continent. In that land, you are a prestigious upper-class person, and even when you come to the Southern Continent thousands of miles away, there are people who admire you Juniors, companions who are eager to communicate with you. They say you are friendly and knowledgeable. You not only saved my daughter's life, but also gave them freedom. If it weren't for you, I might never have the chance to meet her again. Of course it wouldn’t be today.”
"It's awesome, auntie. If I insist, I'm just an ordinary scholar who was a teacher in Nali. And, that was before I was wanted by Nali and became a fugitive."
"wanted?"
"Ah, that's right. When I was a professor, I had an irreparable conflict with the current Queen Elizabeth of Nali for one of my students. Although I saved her in the end, I also became notorious and became a A fugitive wanted by the whole country in Nali."
Yariel took a new look at the human man in front of her, but soon she retracted her gaze, and unconsciously touched the teacup on the table with her hands, feeling the lingering warmth on it,
"Is that student very important to you?"
"...Indeed, Aunt Yariel. Although not all for that student, there is no doubt that many decisions were made because of her."
Fisher tapped the table, then he raised his eyes to look at Yariel again, and he said immediately,
"That student's name is Jasmine, and she is a whale-human who sneaked into Nali to find her aunt."
"."
Yariel didn't speak anymore, and just looked at Fisher in front of her silently.
Of course, she heard what Fisher meant. It would be too presumptuous to say "I want it all" directly, and she could respond by stating the relationship between him and Jasmine.
Yariel was silent for a long time, after she stretched out her hand to raise the cup and took a sip of tea, when she spoke again, she switched to another topic,
"Does Mr. Fisher know anything about the dragon race?"
"Which aspect do you mean?"
"About Shio's partner."
".Know some, but not much."
Fisher looked at Yariel in front of her with a mentality of seeking knowledge. Unexpectedly, after she saw Fisher's expression, the faint smile on her face became deeper. Amidst Fisher's doubts, she laughed,
"The so-called suitable tail partner, even people other than the dragon race can probably guess that it is closely related to marriage, union and reproduction, not to mention those young dragon cubs. In the settlement of the dragon people, the combination It is sacred, and the suitable tail partner is also sacred. This is what every dragon race must learn and understand, not to mention romantic stories that always attract attention and curiosity.
"When I was still in the Nanzhi tribe, the children were still young. Every time it was time to rest, my children would huddle together and ask me about the legend left by a pair of Bi people many years ago. They are happy because they heard the good ending, and they are envious and happy; they will regret because of the incompleteness of their lover, and they will feel sad and resentful.
"But, Rafael's child, the only girl, is not like this. She is the most special and special one among my children, not only referring to her crimson scales that are exactly the same as the legendary dragon god, but also Not referring to her stronger body and hotter soul than other children. She was never interested in these concepts and stories, and she didn’t want to believe in the beauty created by others. She was so confident and proud that she felt she didn’t need The support and help of a partner."
The smile on Yariel's face has a kind and warm memory, as if the little dragon princess who is about to breathe fire is about to jump out of memory,
"Perhaps because of such pride, she left her hometown with confidence, thinking she could see all the scenery outside the tribe; or maybe it was because of the scarcity of those love stories that made her look so immature and clumsy in her relationship.
"The so-called suitable tail partner is not a choice of life. For us, reproduction is not the purpose of suitable tail, but its appearance. This is why, if a dragon person is not suitable for tail all his life, he will not reproduce The need. Tail is the choice of the soul, Fisher. Rafael's soul chose you because you helped her when her pride was shattered, because you gave her when she doubted Can be relied on with confidence because you give her freedom when she needs respect
"Her helpless soul had a goal to go to at that moment, just like when I married her father, she thought she had grasped the beauty that belonged to her alone, for this reason, she even stood up to you at all costs Go and stand beside you, the noble Nari upper class. But who told her to be so careless when she was a child? So she ignored that you are a human being, you will not be able to tail, your soul will not Generates the same heat and certainty as hers.
"For this reason, she must taste the price, and taste the pain that no dragon race has ever tasted. For a dragon race, sharing a partner with others is like tearing her soul apart. That kind of pain is her You feel it all the time but never say it. You don’t have dragon horns, even if your body is so strong, you still can’t read the thoughts contained in her dragon horns, the jealousy that seems to want to plunge her into the abyss burn.
"Let me ask, Mr. Fisher. If you had a daughter in the future, would you be willing to hand her over to someone like yourself?"
At the end of the speech, it was a simple sentence of heart-to-heart comparison.
By God, how simple, how straightforward, how deadly, how vicious the word is.
It is so straightforward and simple that it only takes Fisher to think about it and there will be a corresponding situation; it is so deadly and vicious that even Fisher cannot make any certainty.
Fortunately, Yariel herself didn't want Fisher to give a specific answer, or in other words, no matter what Fisher said at the moment, she couldn't change her thoughts and opinions.
Then she went on to say,
"As Rafael's mother, I am opposed to your union from the bottom of my heart. I don't want the originally sacred and sweet Shio for the dragon race to become an endless torture. At the same time , I am also pessimistic about Mr. Fisher Benavidez's affection for Rafael, and forgive my presumption, but I will say that I am against your marriage."
"."
Fisher looked straight at Yariel in front of him, and after listening to Rafael's mother say a lot, and finally she uttered her point of view, he kept listening in silence without interrupting the other party. words.
It wasn't until several seconds later that Yariel didn't say anything, but raised the teacup with trembling fingers and drank most of the tea in it, then Fisher smiled helplessly and said,
"Aunt Yariel's acting skills are so good, I was almost fooled by your kindness when I first came in with Rafael."
Yariel looked at him and shook her head, then said,
"It takes courage to actually say that in front of you, Mr. Fisher."
"courage?"
"Yeah, courage, I still want to confirm your identity again, are you really a human?"
"I"
Fisher lowered his head and glanced at his palm, maybe even he didn't expect that when he was immersed in Yariel's statement, the already terrifying rank on his body was also blooming little by little, as if with The ups and downs of his mood produced terrible pressure.
Yariel's words at this moment reminded him once again of a fact that he had known for a long time: he is now a chaotic monster of mythical rank in human skin.
Yariel quietly looked at Fisher who was slightly dazed in front of her, and then said,
"To be honest, you give me a very scary feeling. Just coming in can make my scales tremble with fright. I couldn't sit still so I stood up and poured tea to relieve the pressure. I was even worried. Between me and you You'll kill me in rage when you say that, it must be a disaster, no?
"But I still have to speak out my thoughts, Mr. Fisher. Even if you are such a powerful creature, just for Rafael, I must also be honest about my thoughts as a mother. To be honest, I have nothing Ability is just an ordinary dragon race. I believe you can also see this, otherwise I would not be able to help Rafael at all, but stay in Wanhua Court to do the work for Long Ting This simple worked out.
"When I was young, her father took care of me too well and was too tolerant of me. Even though I was such a fragile dragon person, he was right with me and married me. Perhaps it is because of this , I will have no fear of doubting you."
Hearing Yariel's worries, Fisher couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
What Yariel said is indeed true. In fact, as far as it is now, many rules are just decorations for Fisher.He has entered the rank of mythology, and many constraints imposed by human beings can be easily surpassed by him.
If he really wanted to count, in fact, most of the ladies he knew were inferior to him in terms of rank, even Yariel in front of him was like this.Fisher can completely ignore her opinion, and she has nothing to do with herself, and he can even force Rafael to accept other women by force.
He can also unscrupulously make Rafael feel guilty and make her feel inferior.She didn't even know how terrifying the demonic enemy she was facing, she didn't even know the prophecy of the end of the world, she was worrying about it anyway
He can even ignore Long Ting, he can even kill Nali directly, why worry about Elizabeth's excessive possessiveness?
But can Fisher really do this?
Or, does Fisher really want to do this?
Could it be that all problems can be solved by relying on such a high rank as myself?
Just like him now, he can flip the table at any time, threaten Yariel with the safety of Rafael and Long Ting, and tell her: If she doesn't accept herself and her relationship with Jasmine, then Long Ting will wait for her. If you are facing destruction, your daughter will wait to die!What do you want, you choose yourself?
Besides, it was the truth, and he didn't lie.If there are examples and evidence, he can grab a lot of them, and present these things that Rafael has concealed openly in front of Yariel, so that she can understand the current situation of Long Ting.
That would be great, she would definitely be speechless by the terrifying rank gap.Her love and concern for Raphael would make her lie, and keep the memory of the time when Raphael left peacefully.
All are happy, and all problems are solved!
What's more, I am only at the fifteenth rank now. What if I can read more completion manuals, such as soul, death, life, destiny, cardinal... and even magic completion manuals?
If his rank climbed up step by step, and he finally reached the same level as Renee, what if he became a true god?
Could he have abandoned his so-called human identity a long time ago, why should he maintain a structure whose strength is completely insufficient to exert the ability of the mythical rank?
But just thinking of these, Fisher suddenly felt extremely guilty, as if he was about to shed tears, as if he had endured some extremely painful torture.
It was as if the moment these ideas were born, his existence suddenly became meaningless, as if the name "Fisher Benavidez" was to be insulted, to discredit its origin.
His name was bestowed by a pious nun, his life came from her unthinking compassion for a strange orphan, his today came from her warm and meaningful teachings, and his independence came from his own handwriting of the orphan. The moment the nun's ashes were brought into the church.
Therefore, from beginning to end, even if he has climbed to the present and became inhuman, he still thinks that he is "Fisher Benavides", a human being.
At this moment, facing Yariel, who was a little worried in front of him, but bravely and honestly expressed her thoughts, Fisher also took a deep breath, retracted the restless and restless squirm in his body, and held him back. His breath calmed down little by little, and he turned into a human.
He looked at Yariel in front of him, first apologized,
"I'm really sorry, Aunt Yariel, I scared you, I didn't mean it, please forgive me"
The dragon horns on Yariel's head flickered for a moment, and the quivering scales in her elegant robe seemed to be a little quieter following Fisher's words, but Fisher hadn't finished speaking, and he wanted to confess something,
"Back to the point, Aunt Yariel. In fact, not only Jasmine, I also have many other women who have a close relationship. Their number is probably more than the fingers of a palm."
Yariel, who had just calmed down, blinked, then froze in place, staring blankly at Fisher in front of her.
On the table, half of the tea left in her cup swayed slightly, reflecting the candles on the wall behind which became extremely quiet, as if even they were frightened by Fisher's words, so they remained motionless.
Yariel opened her mouth, and she glanced blankly at the claws on her hand, as if she was just about to determine how many fingers there are on a hand today.
Then she said in disbelief,
"How much do you say?" (End of this chapter)
