Chapter 1751 - 148: Experiment
"Pop..."
Alagina leaned forward, her azure eyes slightly narrowed. In the close distance, the turmoil in her heart gradually steadied, and she even wished for time to stop forever at this moment.
But even deep emotions have an end, and after a brief contact, she and Fisher mutually let go of each other’s lips.
She lowered her head and looked at Fisher in front of her, her hair falling over his side cheek, forming soft waves.
In between breaths, her deep voice sounded,
"You’re back, Fisher..."
"Yes, I’m back, Alagina."
"Beep beep, nice to meet you, Mr. Fisher, I’m David, the guard robot you encountered at the door earlier was also controlled by me... Sorry for taking the liberty to ask some trivial questions for Alagina, I hope it didn’t trouble you."
In the corner of her eye, a glowing little ball behind Alagina’s head also took the opportunity to float up, greeting Fisher politely.
"Hello, David... Have we met before?"
"Beep beep... There’s no such record in David’s database, but since Mr. Fisher says so, excluding the possibility of a memory error, we may have indeed met."
Alagina turned her head and explained to Fisher, looking at David behind her,
"Fisher was just repaired by me recently; its previous database had suffered some loss."
"Speaking of which, Alagina, did you bring all these Cardinals from the Storm Sea? They seem quite different from Nali’s."
"These? No, Fisher..."
Alagina walked over to the couple of Cardinals placed in the room, caressing their cold surfaces while briefly recounting the events of the past few years to Fisher.
During the time Fisher left the Pirate Harbor and returned to the past, she was spurred by Renie, leading her to actively engage in the exploration of the Storm Sea.
Of course, the Storm Sea was buried with many treasures, but at that time, those treasures were concealed within that dangerous ruin, filled with many bizarre relics still in effect, making the exploration process extremely difficult.
Yet, after she and her sisters had endured so much, all she received was betrayal.
Her partner, the Black Chief, secretly made a deal with Nali, planning to sell the Cardinals and numerous relics obtained from the Storm Sea. In the end, he entirely defected to Nali. To demonstrate his sincerity, the Black Chief set his sights on Isabella aboard Alagina’s ship, and so he secretly ambushed Alagina’s ship, intending to take Isabella.
At the crucial moment, Alagina rushed back and was forced into battle with the Black Chief’s fleet.
During the process, the fleet she had accumulated over the years suffered heavy losses, and her flagship, the Iceberg Queen, ended up sinking during the escape to the Northern Realm, leaving her with no choice but to rely on the Wutong Tree.
Just when she thought she had reached a dead end, she found her lifeline, her opportunity...
"Fisher, the techniques of these Cardinals aren’t something we brought back from the Storm Sea; all we managed to bring out were a few dozen finished Cardinals. Among these products, there was one that could directly lead to the Angel Sanctuary in the Spirit Realm, where David had been staying. After I discovered it, David taught me the complete Angel Cardinal knowledge."
"Beep beep... Alagina learned this knowledge very quickly, which greatly surprised David."
Fisher listened, somewhat dumbfounded, not expecting Alagina to encounter such an adventure.
He had already learned methods to enter the Spirit Realm from Helair’s, the teacher’s notes, but each method emphasized the extreme danger of the Spirit Realm, noting that even Mr. Helsen would have perished there without the help of benevolent Chaos Species.
And Alagina, without Magic or Rank, not only directly obtained a method to enter the Spirit Realm but also happened to arrive at a very safe spot? An Angel’s leftover Sanctuary?
"I see. So, Alagina, do you know much about the Spirit Realm?"
Alagina shook her head, looking at the hovering David beside her,
"No, actually, I’ve always only dared to stay inside the Sanctuary, and to avoid looking outside, David and I sealed up all the gaps. It’s very dangerous outside the Sanctuary, and David’s database is damaged, so he knows nothing about the outside either... But if Fisher is interested, I can accompany you to take a look now."
Saying this, Alagina took out another small ball-shaped Cardinal hidden in her embrace. It was clear that Alagina treasured this object, keeping it close to her, yet she unhesitatingly offered it to Fisher to see.
Perhaps for Alagina, this was her last reliance.
Fisher opened his mouth but first reached out to push back the Cardinal she had taken out,
"Let’s take a look later. Valentina is still waiting for us above. You must keep this item safe; it’s very valuable."
"Va... Valentina..."
Alagina was momentarily stunned, but after a brief hesitation, she retracted the teleportation Cardinal into her embrace and nodded,
"Alright, I’ll go with you... David, wait here for me to return."
