Chapter 1753 - 148: Experiment_3
Alagina opened her mouth, feeling a heavy sensation in her heart, but didn’t know how to describe that feeling.
Instinctively, she tightened her grip on Fisher’s hand, even speaking subconsciously,
"...it’s the Fisher I pursue, a little grievance is nothing. As long as Fisher, you still have me in your heart, that’s the reward... I forgive you for what happened before, Fisher."
"..."
Fisher looked at her for a second or two, smiled slightly, and didn’t let go of her hand, just said,
"...sometimes saying one thing and meaning another is a bad habit, Alagina."
"Fisher, I..."
"Let’s keep walking."
Alagina pursed her lips, the heavy feeling in her heart seemed to be pried open by Fisher’s words, making her feel increasingly burdened.
Perhaps she had some feelings, but awkwardly couldn’t express anything, only feeling complex.
Fortunately, Fisher didn’t let go of her hand, having his warmth and guidance allowed her the strength to think and feel the emotions pent up in her chest.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Along the way, the people from the Wutong Tree were even fewer than when Fisher came, as if everyone from the Wutong Tree was outside, leaving only the two of them.
At the same time, intense vibrations and sounds came from outside the Wutong Tree, followed by cheering as if waves.
"That’s great!!"
"It worked! It worked! Look!"
Fisher thought of what those guards had said about the Cardinal Test earlier; Alagina was just behind him, so he asked,
"Is the Cardinal Test outside very important that everyone from the Wutong Tree went out to see it?"
"Mm, David said it’s the highest-level model of angel machinery designed by Michael Angel himself. If we can build it and mass-produce it, even Nali would be no match. I failed many times before, and even the semi-finished product exceeded the imagination of the entire Wutong Tree, so everyone is very focused on this complete first test..."
"A flagship model, huh? But since you built it, wouldn’t it be inappropriate if you didn’t go to the first test?"
Alagina shook her head and said,
"Because Fisher... came, and I’ve already tested it many times privately, knowing it will definitely succeed, so there’s no need to go."
Fisher contemplated, and soon they reached the platform where they were to meet Valentina.
Just before they entered the meeting hall, the main door of the Wutong Tree swung open with a creak, and those who finished watching the test returned extremely excitedly, including Grey Bird species flying from the sky, Sardinian Female Country Pirates running on the ground, and Snow Fox species, all came back jubilantly,
"It worked! Quickly report to Lord Phoenix!"
"Ah, it’s magnificent!"
"Quick!"
Fisher and Alagina watched the crowd ahead returning dense with familiar figures to Fisher.
Four and a half years passed, and Karma’s three granddaughters were almost half the size of an adult Mouse Human Species frame; from afar still looked like three dumplings, just a bigger version. They ran really fast, faster than those Grey Bird species; among so many, only Karma’s were leading the way,
"Lord Phoenix! Alagina sister! It succeeded! That Cardinal flew so high! So fast! Hey, Karma, you guys look!"
"It’s Fisher!"
"Fisher!!"
The three dumplings launched themselves at Fisher with a jump from ten meters away; Fisher reached out and enveloped all three little Mouse humans in his arms like a mountain,
"Karma, Dian Dian, Holly, you’ve all grown so big, where’s Old Jack?"
"Grandpa is behind, walking slowly with Grandma Pahetz; they’re quite slow!"
"Fisher, you’re back! Grandpa thought you were chopped up by women!"
"Yeah, yeah, not even bones left!"
Fisher’s face darkened, nearly giving the little mischievous guys in his arms a lesson.

Meanwhile, the hall door opened again, revealing Valentina in her Phoenix state with a reliable expression.
She slightly paused seeing Alagina next to Fisher, and Alagina also exchanged a glance, after a moment’s silence, began to straighten her back, seeming to assert her stance.
"..."
"Sister Phoenix!"
"The test outside succeeded!!"
The three little ones poked their heads from Fisher’s embrace announcing the good news to Valentina they saw behind.
Valentina adjusted her face slightly, smiled gently, wings behind her adorned in frost fluttered once, and she said,
"Congratulations, Miss Alagina, the Wutong Tree is stronger because of you; I extend respect to you."
"...Oh, it’s what I should do."
Seeing Valentina take an official stance, Alagina responded seriously, but Fisher blinked, realizing fortune smiled upon him, objectively pausing the face-to-face judgment that was supposed to occur.
Thus, Fisher could only tearfully split and orchestrate events before addressing the face-to-face matter.
Valentina couldn’t discern Fisher’s internal thoughts, but something noted the present conditions, and teasingly said,
"Ha, your good husband must be relieved now."
"Ah? What stone?"
"Originally he planned to bring that mixed-blood trivial matter before you, now as everyone returned, aren’t such trivial matters of yours delayed? Time is of the essence; your good husband has a chance to maneuver?"
"Ah, is that so, Master Tao?"
"...You don’t understand, what are you doing in romance, trivial?"
Valentina opened her mouth, puzzled looking at the expressionless Fisher, feeling Master Tao misjudged.
No one knew what grudges lay between Fisher and Tao in the past, making her slander and insult him at every turn...
But just as Tao said, the other leaders of the Six Clans returned one after another; as Wutong Tree’s leader, Valentina must maintain the Phoenix image, making such private emotional disputes unsuitable for now.
At this moment, when other Wutong Tree people were returning, the Cardinal of Destiny brought Alicia in without expression, seemingly having watched the whole Cardinal Test process.
Perched on her shoulder was Book Knight, who, upon entrance, looked around nervously as if eagerly searching for Fisher.
Emhardt soared mid-air, surveyed inside for a while, finally spotting Fisher inside, then hastily left behind the Cardinal of Destiny and Alicia, flying straight toward Fisher.
"Not good not good not good!! Fisher, let’s run let’s run!!"
"What’s wrong, so urgent?"
Fisher put down the three Mouse ladies from his arms, watching Emhardt turned into a stream of light flying to him quickly, unsure why he was in a hurry; even he immersed in chaotic scene wasn’t hurried.
Emhardt gasped as he stood on his shoulder, leaned over quickly whispering,
"Hurry run hurry run hurry run, Fisher! Do you know what I heard outside just now? Heidlin!! That woman was in the Wutong Tree earlier!"
"Heidlin, how come she’s here, isn’t she Valentina’s..."
Beside him, Emhardt’s expression neared madness,
"You forgot?! She was Paimon in disguise! Damn! Think, what’s Paimon’s current situation!"
"She..."
Fisher’s words halted, looking incredulously at Emhardt beside him.
