Capítulo 693: 116. Confrontation from a Distance (Two in One) _3
Thinking of Renie, the scorching flames for black stockings cooled down slightly, objectively speaking, not as pretty as Renie, but still not bad.
Fisher’s chilling gaze made Heidlin shrink back her little feet, but in the next moment, Fisher had already charged towards Valentina above.
“Boom!”
The frozen tentacle started wriggling again, apparently to stop Fisher from rescuing Valentina. However, this was not Erwin’s true body but a creature weapon he created. Even considering all the tentacles covering the hotel, its rank would not exceed the Ninth Rank. Fisher reached into his coat and threw several magic rings glowing with magic light to Heidlin,
“Take these Magic Rings, and have the people of the Snow Fox Species exit from another direction. I will bring Valentina back safely.”
Heidlin caught the magic rings that were thrown to her and watched the enormous tentacle carrying both Fisher and Valentina upwards. Her previously disgusted expression slightly faded until Fisher disappeared, then it completely turned into worry.
She turned her head and spoke sternly to Clan Chief Dal,
“Please follow me and leave immediately; this place isn’t safe.”
Her voice hadn’t even fully faded when Heidlin opened her mouth wider, abruptly stopping mid-sentence.
Had she forgotten something important?
Where had that idiot, Philis, gone?
Heidlin’s expression darkened, she adjusted the green tiara on her head, and started searching around the conference room for the Lion-man but saw nothing.
…
…
“Fisher, what… what is this thing, and where is it taking us?”
Fisher jumped next to Valentina. Just as he approached, he noticed her body trembling severely, her palms tightly grasping the arms of her wheelchair, her fingertips turning pale,
“Are you scared?”
“No… not at all!”
Fisher glanced at her suddenly lifted head, her pride a sign of adulthood, yet that unmistakable vulnerability revealed her youthful reality… He slowly took off his suit jacket and draped it over Valentina’s head, then grabbed her wheelchair with one hand.
From under the jacket covering her head, her pair of silvery-white eyes looked up at Fisher beside her but were quickly obscured as he pulled it down,
“What are you doing…”
“While people use an ostrich to symbolize a coward, it’s undeniable that this indeed gives you a bit more of a sense of security.”
“Ha, are you saying I’m as cowardly as an ostrich?”
Fisher glanced at the direction the tentacle was moving them, casually replying,
“Not… I mean, it’s nice when you occasionally show your timid side when we’re alone, especially when you’re stubbornly defiant. It’s cute.”
Hiding under his jacket, Valentina secretly tightened her grip on it but accidentally touched a square-edged book. Valentina tentatively asked,
“Sir Emhardt?”
Lying in Fisher’s pocket, now entirely sprawled over Valentina’s head, Emhardt had been deadpan for a long time. If not for the current urgent situation, he would truly have sweared… but considering the girl was quite frightened, it was better to be polite.
Thus, Emhardt sighed and responded,
“Hmm… but if possible, I think it’s better if you call me the great Book Knight. Generally, only Fisher calls me Emhardt, and I couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.”
…
Fisher squinted his eyes, watching the tentacle carrying them along the elevator shaft ever upwards. Suddenly, he realized something, and his Magic Circuit lit up. As the power of his soul motivated, he looked down at the giant tentacle carrying him and Valentina. He saw that the soul light above was very dim, meaning that Erwin’s consciousness was not present here.
Then, he realized this act was merely to temporarily divert him, the purpose was…
Just at that moment, Caleb Wuz’s voice suddenly rang out,
“Seal, he already knows where Valentina has hidden the other Seals. Those Seals, including the ones the Snow Fox Species now holds, are his target. He’s just trying to lead you away, don’t fall for it…”
Fisher turned to look where Caleb Wuz, standing behind him, was squatting at the edge of the tentacle and pointing downward. Fisher didn’t respond to the hallucination’s words but instead turned back to Valentina,
“Where did you place those Seals?”
“Seals? You mean the attack this time is because of the Seals we collected? I’ve hidden them in the Ice viewing room we visited earlier, right downstairs from the conference room…”
Fisher paused for a second, then suddenly grabbed the wheelchair Valentina was sitting in,
“Hold tight, Miss Valentina.”
“I’ve told you, not to… Ahhhhh!”
The next moment, Fisher suddenly stood up with the Fluid Sword in his hand, which rotated like a drill and violently stabbed into the fleshly tentacle below. In his eyes, the splashes of flesh were completely ignored; what he saw was the consciousness of Erwin hidden inside this flesh, and that consciousness was right now on the second floor of the hotel, where Valentina had stored the Seals…
