Chapter 1717 - 136: Floating Mouth_3

He glanced briefly at the direction of the carriage leading the way in front and asked,

"When did that Dianne come to your side?"

"Don’t mention other women in front of me, my dear. Besides, you’re changing the subject..."

"..."

Someone familiar can always see through all your thoughts. Fisher, upon being seen through, didn’t want to struggle any longer; he simply said,

"...I’m just curious because it’s rare to see you trust someone so much, especially since she was the one helping with everything before."

"Haha, Fisher, besides you and myself, I’ve never trusted anyone. Dianne is the same. She comes from the slums of Snake Head Street, and everything she has achieved today is solely by her effort—she works hard, endures hardships, and never complains... The key is, she knows when to advance and retreat."

Works hard, endures hardships, and never complains...

No, it’s just that she’s not doing it for a future or to accumulate blessings. If she continues working hard under you, she might just blow up this world.

However, if Dianne indeed has such a clear life trajectory, then does she believe in the external chaos of this world, or is she inherently a part of the chaos?

"And with these virtues, I can meet her needs to a certain extent, which should count as an exchange of equals, and we can both be satisfied."

"...Perhaps not everyone is satisfied. Otherwise, why would those people prepare to assassinate you?"

Fisher wasn’t worried about those people’s assassination attempt on Elizabeth. Ultimately, no matter how strong the humans from those small countries might be, they were trivial before someone like Valentina, a phoenix close to myth, and Elizabeth, who could spar with her. This is likely why she felt fearless traveling.

"Because some things can never satisfy everyone. Either I’m not satisfied, or someone else isn’t, and I will always choose what satisfies me. The dissatisfied will inevitably resent the satisfied, and that’s why they come to assassinate me. Likewise, Fisher, if the phoenix from the Northern Realm comes to assassinate me right in front of you, would you protect me?"

"..."

Elizabeth’s tone shifted as if her argument about "satisfaction and dissatisfaction" was merely a prelude. When she asked this, Fisher finally realized the "other women" topic she had never raised these days resurfaced, even if it was just a joking and tactful inquiry.

"...I don’t want you to get hurt, Elizabeth."

"How sly, my dear."

Elizabeth still smiled but did not mention whether she was satisfied with the answer. At this moment, the Cardinal’s carriage came to a shaky halt, and they finally arrived in civilian attire at Fisher’s designated destination, the Church School where he once lived.

Elizabeth drew back the curtains and invited Fisher as she looked at the scene outside,

"Shall we go inside and take a look?"

"...No, looking from here is enough."

He came here solely to retrieve the blessing left by the Demi-human girl control, not out of genuine interest in what the place where he grew up would look like. He remembered the place entirely due to Sister Theresa, and after her passing, he had never returned.

Now, upon lifting the curtain and looking outside, he felt it was far removed from the place in his memory, appearing bleak and lifeless.

He seemed to see tiny golden specks on the wall, and as a bit of inspiration was triggered, he recognized it as the traces left by the Demi-human girl control decades ago.

He extended his finger toward the golden specks on the outer wall, and they flew toward him as if drawn, bringing along a series of blurred visions.

He saw a carefree man stretching leisurely as he left the church, with a very young girl in a nun’s robe waving goodbye at the door.

Immediately after, Fisher suddenly felt the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual near his chest grow hot, and a series of unreal golden blessings flooded his view,

[You have unlocked a new Authority Fragment of Azan Ross]

[The great Azan Ross is a formidable Divine in the vast universe, possessing powers unimaginably complex to other Deities. Once you pick up His presence from the secretive dust, you will glimpse a corner of His unfathomable power (issue a post-50)]

[Authority unlocked: "Hidden" (50%), "Collection" (10%)]

[Hidden: You have adapted to a life devoid of all other authority, closely linked with mastering the Hidden authority. Next, you will learn to use other authority powers under the blessing of secrecy (extraordinary power) without being detected. You have unlocked your extraordinary ability, but excessive use may still lead to the loss of the Hidden blessing.]

[Collection: Azan Ross has the ability to derive and gather any similar nature, which means you have the ability to replicate certain items and authority powers. Engage closely with more demi-human girls to unlock replication points, which can be used on any possible replication.]

"Should we leave now?"

"Ah..."

Fisher nodded, not yet recovering from the information from the phantom subtitles, but Elizabeth’s beautiful face caught his eye, making him reflect on a question.

Now, being with human Elizabeth every day, where is he going to find those "replication points"?

At this moment, a longing for other demi-human females welled up inside him...

Still, it was a bountiful gain, and he did not reveal this internal agitation but instead prepared to lower the curtain to continue the honeymoon with Elizabeth.

Just then, in his line of sight, he suddenly saw a floating mouth and an eyeball at the church school’s outer wall... indeed, organs detached from the face.

At this moment, they were eerily gazing towards the direction of the carriage where Fisher sat.
