Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1635 - 110: Like the Sun

"Mr. Fisher, Adina can transport you to somewhere in the Saint Nali Suburb. However, the distance makes it impossible to pinpoint the location of the transfer. But if there are any issues, you can seek help from members of the Bai Cui Family nearby. Here is my token; just present this, and the Bai Cui Family will assist you as much as possible."
After boarding the ship, Keken, who had already sold out all the goods on the ship, seemed to be in a good mood. He was organizing the matters concerning the transfer for Fisher while handing over a brooch engraved with the Bai Cui Family’s emblem to him.
Fisher accepted the brooch handed to him, feeling its cold weight, then asked,
"Aren’t you coming back with us?"
"Ah, you should know that Slimes require a price for transferring people or objects. She can’t send our entire ship back to Nali; if I were to leave, my several wives and the crew left here would be in trouble, especially since there’s still a war ongoing here, so..."
"I understand, thank you."
Holding the brooch in his hand, Fisher smiled and nodded to Keken, who offered no further explanation and turned to have a maid instruct his Slime wife to come down.
"By the way, Mr. Fisher, regarding the matter of the Wutong Tree, I’ve always had a one-way communication with the Baline Clan Leader about it, so I’m not very clear on the situation there. But I’ve informed the Wutong Tree about your journey to Nali, and the Phoenix seems quite concerned about your situation, so for any developments, please liaise with them. It’s just uncertain if Slimes can still enter Saint Nali."
Upon hearing this, Fisher’s body tensed slightly, and even Emhardt on his shoulder wore a schadenfreude expression.
Previously, Valentina had sent a letter to Queen Elizabeth, and she might take advantage of Helson’s situation. Now informing Valentina of Fisher’s exact location almost seems to be an open declaration of war in Nali.
Heh, this time, Fisher is really in for a tough ride.
Fisher sighed but could only accept it calmly.
As they say, when you owe too much, it doesn’t press on you, and he indeed needed Valentina to know his situation. He couldn’t just leave her in the dark to minimize risk, as that wouldn’t be fair to her either.
"...Alright, thank you."
Keken smiled and nodded, then a maid behind him and his wife timidly walked up behind him. Each maid held a suitcase, and his wife held a Boundary Flute that Fisher had seen more than once.
"Well, that’s it, Mr. Fisher. This suitcase contains money for your activities in Nali. If you want to keep a lower profile, cash can sometimes be more effective. As for this suitcase, it’s the cost of the transfer. Once you’re ready, I’ll let Adina begin."
Keken handed one of the suitcases to Fisher, which was filled with Narliou’s cash, while the maid opened the other suitcase and placed it down, revealing a glint of gold – strips of gold.
"Thank you, I will use them prudently... I just wonder how much Nali has changed during the years I’ve been away. At least from what I hear in the South Continent, it should be quite different from the Nali I used to live in, right?"
"Indeed, there’s a common saying in Nali’s streets..." Keken smiled slightly and explained to Fisher, "Yesterday’s Nali was the Nali of our fathers’ generation, and the day before yesterday’s Nali was our grandfathers’ generation’s Nali. It means that today’s Nali has changed so much, it’s unrecognizable."
"Is that so? Then I must see it for myself."
"Safe travels to you, and by the way, although I’ve been away from the Bai Cui Family for some time, during actions, I ask Mr. Fisher to be considerate and not to let Queen Elizabeth hold it against us."
Keken meant, in simple words, that everyone knew the relationship between Elizabeth and Fisher; if they were to get along affectionately, the Bai Cui Family, which helped Fisher, would certainly gain credit. However, Keken realized that with several confidantes in the South Continent and one in the Northern Realm, who’s to know if there are others elsewhere?
And Queen Elizabeth, who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes, they are bound to clash. When that time comes, Elizabeth might view the Bai Cui Family’s actions as being of more harm than benefit.
Helping Fisher was Keken’s own idea; he was subtly reminding Fisher not to drag his family’s name into his matters with Elizabeth.
Fisher, of course, understood and replied with a smile,
"Rest assured, I’ll be careful."
"That’s good..." Having received Fisher’s promise, Keken turned to his wife and said, "Adina, you may begin."
"Mm..."
The Slime named Adina timidly nodded but did not look at Fisher, just hid behind Keken and raised the flute in her hand. In the next moment, a melodious yet soul-stirring tune suddenly played.
"Adina Adina Adina Adina Adina Adina!!"
Amidst the loud singing, a brilliant golden light began to pour out from Adina’s body, and the strange power rapidly melted the gold in the suitcase, transforming it into pure value, into the energy of transfer that completely enveloped Fisher and Emhardt.
