Surrender The Fisher family has sent people with a large number of gifts to negotiate with the Case family. Originally, the most suitable candidate for the peace talks was Byrne, but he always felt that he might not be able to come back after he went, so in the end he had to let Baron Leander negotiate on his behalf.
Byrne also wrote a letter in which he used as many servile and fawning words as possible, which could be said to be extremely flattering.
He claimed that the Fisher family was incapable of managing the village of Urd and had to ask the Case family to take over the management.
They voluntarily handed over all resources within the village of Urd to Baron Keith for safekeeping.
Because of Viscount Garcia's behind-the-scenes support, the Case family has always been arrogant in the Four Towns, and they are unaware that the Fisher family has found the Lion family as a deeply bound backer.
They would naturally feel that the Fisher family had been completely overwhelmed by fear and terror.
Next, the Case family will surely greedily find a way to occupy the town of Nasir.
But that would not be something that could be accomplished all at once. The Fisher family could try every means to delay for a few months, using all kinds of monetary gifts and verbal flattery to buy precious time.
As long as Chris can successfully step onto the third step of the Road to Tranquility in a few months, the plan to destroy the Case family will be implemented immediately.
The only request they made was that the Case family would release Theo's son.
Unexpectedly, the Case family accepted all the gifts but rejected Fischer's only request.
They were willing to accept the Fisher family's surrender and then immediately send their own people to the village of Urd, and those people would become the managers of the village again.
The Fisher family not only sent a batch of gifts to the Case family, they immediately started working on a second batch of expensive gifts.
Anyway, those extraordinary materials, gold coins, and alchemical props were just stored by the Case family for a few months, so Byrne and the others didn't feel too bad about it.
Only Irene felt confused and heart-broken when she saw that there was less money on the account, and she often sighed.
The precious time that is gained next is the Fisher family's preparation stage for war.
Byrne began to use his "deconstruction perspective" ability to focus on analyzing the specific material composition of the two masks of the Alchemy Council.
He discovered that the alchemical materials inside the white mask were very complex, and each alchemical material was of high value, while the ingredients of the low-quality dark gold mask were much cheaper.
Byrne began to try to imitate an alchemical item that could have a "shielding" effect.
In fact, he had been trying to create an alchemical potion that could change his appearance for a few years, but unfortunately he had never been successful.
Now with the ability of "deconstruction perspective", Byrne can instantly reverse the composition of all the materials in the mask, which can be said to be assisted by God.
Carl silently followed all the developments of the Fischer family, hoping that things would go smoothly.
If things didn't go well, he knew that Irene was ready to sacrifice herself completely.
At that time, Carl will not refuse the prayer and will fulfill Irene's wish to destroy the Case family and send her to the last journey of her short life.
He recently discovered that the mysterious objects that were dismantled did not disappear completely, but a vague shadow remained in the depths of the soul.
Simply put, all the runes in the mysterious objects can be disassembled into rune essence, and in fact, those rune essences can also be reconstructed into the original runes.
However, runes are like extremely complex building blocks.
It's easy to disassemble them, but it's extremely difficult to put them back together without making any mistakes.
"It's going to be tedious and complicated to piece it back together, but it's still a good discovery."
Carl was still very happy, because in the future he could disassemble the essence of the rune without restraint, and no longer feel it was a waste if the original rune disappeared.
If the new effect of a rune after evolution is incompatible with the paired Fisher family member, you can disassemble that rune and then piece it together with a rune that has been disassembled before and replace it.
For example, "Iron Wall" currently doesn't match Chris's sequence ability very well.
He thought about dismantling the "Iron Wall" and exchanging it for a rune for Chris one day in the future.
The replaced runes may be runes that have been obtained but dismantled, or they may be new runes obtained in the future.
"In short, the combinations of runes will be very flexible, and there is no need to worry about mismatches or dissatisfaction with the effects of new evolutions."
The only problem is that it is easy to disassemble the rune, but it is extremely difficult to put it back together.
It takes a very long time to reconstruct the runes, otherwise he would have thought of immediately replacing Chris's "Iron Wall" with "Lightning Expulsion" or "Bad Blood".
But Carl was extremely bored to begin with, so he thought it was a way to have fun.
"Chris, are you done?"
In the alchemy workshop of the Fisher family estate, Chris silently wrote down his specific findings about the third-tier promotion route as requested by Byrne.
"You actually discovered two routes?" Byrne was a little surprised after reading what he wrote.
After finishing writing, Chris put down his quill, nodded, and said nothing.
In fact, he accidentally discovered that in two situations, the spirituality would be suddenly mobilized and show signs of boiling.
The first situation is assassination.
As long as one kills people without being noticed, one's own spirituality will show signs of autonomous mobilization.
As for the second situation, when Chris was pretending to be a passerby, he found that his spiritual power could also be mobilized autonomously.
Moreover, he soon discovered that the mobilization efficiency of the second situation was even higher than the first, and it was easier to approach the boiling state.
Byrne thought for a moment, nodded in confirmation and said:
"Then it seems that it will be easier to take the second route. Your third-tier ability should be closer to 'disguise' rather than 'assassination'."
Chris also thought so and he expected that he would be promoted in a few months.
"Then we'll wait for you to come back."
After listening to Byrne's instructions, Chris went to say goodbye to his sister Irene and then left Fisher Manor.
He thought about it, but still didn't go to find Vanessa.
Chris then left Nasir alone in a carriage.
He came to the more populous city of Finn. Due to the establishment of various factories, the city was now adding new population every day.
It is said that several families in the city make important decisions based on the suggestions of the Lion family.
They want to expand the urban area of Fein and build several towns around Fein to alleviate the problems caused by the population explosion in the urban area.
Chris was very clear about one thing: building a new town would require a lot of money and would involve a lot of construction projects, which would ultimately lead to many complex conflicts.
But those had nothing to do with the Fisher family, and there was only one thing he had to do now.
The route of the promotion ceremony is "disguise".
According to Byrne's experience in being promoted to "Mystic Scholar", the more complicated the ritual steps, the greater the impact, and the more obvious the spiritual boiling.
For more than a year, Chris kept thinking about how he could completely disguise himself as another person.
Time is running out and I must reach the third step as soon as possible.
The boy took a deep breath. Although he didn't communicate much with people, it didn't mean that he didn't value his family and friends.
He recalled the worry in Theo's eyes, the moment when Archibald was almost killed, and finally the broken bodies outside the factory, and Vanessa's sad and angry request in the rain.
Chris knew with absolute certainty that there was no more time.
If the Case family is not eliminated, the town of Nasir will be wiped out sooner or later, and Byrne, Irene, Vanessa, Archibald, and everyone in the Fisher family will lose their foothold.
Sister, I will never tolerate that scene ever happening.
He wanted to completely abandon himself, change his appearance, and become a completely different person.
The boy shaved off his smooth silver-white hair, endured the pain and cut messy wounds on his face with a dagger, and finally changed into a set of tattered clothes.
He came to the stinking muddy water. The boy in the water had completely lost his beautiful appearance and turned into an extremely ugly "dwarf". Chris jumped into the muddy water and it took him a long time to climb out.
At this time, Chris was completely dirty and exuded a strong stench.
It's very uncomfortable.
Chris suppressed his discomfort and closed his eyes.
He then came to a mining area outside the city of Fein, deliberately hunched over, and found a man who was responsible for recruiting people in the mine.
The man in charge of recruiting was surrounded by several thugs who were constantly patrolling the area. They all frowned when they smelled Chris' scent.
"What kind of pig is this thing, a disgustingly smelly dwarf!"
Chris didn't care. He walked slowly towards me as if he had been hungry for a long time, and suddenly uttered a series of begging words:
"I want a job. I'll do anything! I need the money!"
Even as he uttered these words, he could clearly feel his spirituality beginning to boil.
Although it did not last, that boiling moment was extremely obvious.
The man in charge of recruiting stared at the short, dirty, and ugly guy for a while, and suddenly laughed:
"Okay, shorty, but you won't be able to work for long in this state, so we can't give you money. We can only give you food. How about that?"
"You're not going to give me money? I, I..." Chris pretended to hesitate.
The man suddenly yelled in anger: "You are not satisfied with the food you gave me. If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who will do it. If you don't agree, get out!"
What he said was true. The number of immigrants to Fein City had increased dramatically recently, and there was no shortage of miners in the mining area, so the mine owner decided to reduce the labor cost as much as possible.
"I'll do it! I'm about to die, I'm willing to do anything!"
Chris yelled excitedly, his eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he even spit out a few drops of saliva!
Killing is easy, talking...
So difficult.
Chris hates talking.
Because he can remember memories from infancy, although not as clear as Byrne's "deep memory", he still remembers how vicious the gossip people said when they were babies was.
They all thought that no one knew about their malice and hypocrisy.
Language is often unable to accurately express the human heart, and is more often used to tell lies.
Of course, he also remembered the night when the Lost Lord saved him and his sister Irene.
At that moment, Chris also listened to His voice.
It was not human language at all, but something much greater, an untouchable supreme voice.
After becoming the dirty and smelly "Lianm", he began to mine in the mines, working busily under the supervision of the guards.
There are many people going down into the dark mine to mine, and the miners are extremely tired. This is a very dangerous area and people may die at any time.
The steam excavator invented by the Loen people had not yet spread in Syat, and everything in the mining area had to be dug by manpower, which was extremely inefficient, hard, and dangerous.
Most of them were not citizens of Fein, but farmers from villages all over the east coast, struggling to earn a very meager salary, and they were all dissatisfied deep down.
Chris's physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but he still felt a little tired after working for a few days.
Although there was nothing serious, he felt that if he didn't have the bonus of sequence strength, he might be too tired to move.
Chris had never understood certain things, and wondered silently why the diggers were willing to work so hard in a place like this instead of returning to the village.
He didn't want to know about irrelevant things, but the disguised "Lianm" should be a completely opposite person from the real Chris.
So after careful consideration, Chris took the initiative to ask the miners why they left the countryside. He learned that the reasons for leaving were varied but most of them were related to the land, and the most peculiar experience was that of an old man.
This was a very short break in the day's digging work, and Chris and the old man were both sitting on the ground.
"The Sommer family forced us to use the land to raise a magical beast, causing me to lose my farmland and my family. I had no choice but to become a homeless person."
The Sommer family actually violated the church's regulations and openly raised a large number of magical beasts?
Chris was very surprised after hearing this. It was allowed for nobles to raise magical beasts in small quantities, but raising magical beasts on a large scale was strictly prohibited by the major churches.
There has always been an ancient legend in the continent of Oden, which seems to be that when the number of mysterious creatures multiplies to a certain extent, a demon from ancient times will be revived.
The old man was still strong, but his hands were covered with scars from years of hard work, and his eyes were extremely cloudy and confused.
He sighed and continued:
"Those nobles, who are filthy to the bone, are constantly fighting for power and land. However, power is in their blood, and the gods are on their side. Where is the way for ordinary people?"
"We are trampled like weeds, and in the end we have no way to survive. I am afraid I will die in the mine soon."
Chris knew that what he said was correct. Even though the old man was in good health, he was getting older and older.
It was only a matter of time before he died in the mines.
But that kind of thing had nothing to do with Chris, and he had no intention of saving any strangers.
He will only be good to whoever is good to him.
Chris just forced himself to speak with great reluctance, pretending to be a normal person.
"Absolutely not. You are still so strong, you won't die!"
When he spoke, he always felt as if someone was staring at him not far away. No, actually, he was staring at "Lianm".
An interesting experience.
Chris suddenly began to like the feeling he experienced when he disguised himself as a new identity.
He felt that his spirituality was beginning to boil again.
The old man shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but finally decided not to continue.
"What do you want to say?" Chris asked immediately in order to maintain his character.
"I want to tell you a truth. In fact, the fate of ordinary people like us is predetermined. We will never, ever be able to save ourselves while we are alive..."
The old man spoke words of extreme despair and frustration, but the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, and instead there was a smile and longing, which was extremely contradictory.
He continued: "I think the hope of ordinary people lies in the afterlife."
Chris fell silent, shook his head, and asked, "I don't understand. Maybe it's because I haven't read the book."
"Liam, do you believe that the stars can give hope?"
The old man suddenly smiled and looked at Chris, with a certain temptation in his voice.
"After we all die, many people's souls will have no destination, but some people's souls will reach the beautiful stars, where they will experience all the beauty that has never been experienced in the world. They believe that the star they reach after death is the real hope!"
Because of the Fisher family's "little hobby", Chris sensitively noticed that the old man's words were strange.
It was just like the beginning of the words my sister said to the children in the orphanage.
He made a puzzled expression and asked, "I still don't understand. What exactly do you want to say?"
"Hey, this thing is for you."
The old man chuckled and took out a black seven-pointed stone sculpture and placed it in Chris's palm.
"Remember the stars give you real hope, my child. Sooner or later you will see them. That is your destiny."
Chris looked down at the black seven-pointed stone sculpture and found that there was a huge eye in the center of it. It seemed that it was always staring at him, and no matter how he changed the angle of the stone sculpture, he could not escape its gaze.
strangeness.
He subconsciously became very alert, but continued to ask:
"Thank you for your gift, but what exactly is this? I feel it's a bit strange..."
The old man laughed and continued: "That is the mark. You will understand it when the time comes."
Chris looked confused and nodded, but a strong sense of uneasiness surged up in his heart.
When the work resumed, he secretly threw away the stone carving mark. Caution is the principle of the Fischer family.
But when he was about to go to bed at night, something happened that shocked Chris. He found that the black seven-pointed star stone sculpture was back in his hand!
What happened?
Chris completely lost all sleepiness in his mind, and calmly got up, wanting to carefully examine the black seven-pointed star.
At this moment, the black seven-pointed star emitted light.
Suddenly, a dark aura emerged from the red mark on the back of his hand, instantly enveloping the black seven-pointed star and turning it into pale ashes in an instant.
"…"
Chris watched this scene in complete confusion.
The Lost Lord protected me?
Chris's curiosity about unknown things was not strong enough, so he had no intention of conducting in-depth research. Since he couldn't figure it out, he just gave up and chose to go to sleep.
After waking up, he heard a piece of news.
The old man died.
And according to people, the old man died with a smile on his face at night. Everyone who saw the body was very scared and thought the old man's smile was extremely strange.
Many workers who saw the bodies even began to protest in fear, saying they did not want to continue working in the mines if the church did not come to deal with the problem.
A weird smile?
Chris didn't understand what was so scary about the corpse's smile, so he wanted to take a look at the body. He found out that the body had been hidden by the mine owner and no workers were allowed to touch it.
However, he could smell the old man's scent and find it accurately among the many mixed smells.
"There." Chris stared at a hidden house outside the mining area with an indifferent expression.
He quietly groped his way to the place where the body was placed in the dark night, and when no one was around, he slowly untied the rag covering the body.
That was definitely not a corpse that died with a smile.
The old man's face was filled with an extremely ferocious smile, just like a terrifying demon that was extremely excited to tear human flesh and blood!
All the wrinkles on that old face were deeply squeezed together, the corners of his mouth were exaggeratedly stretched almost to his ears, his eyes that never closed were filled with scarlet bloodshot, and the turbid eyes still retained the madness of the dying!
After seeing the old man's "smile", Chris still had a blank expression.
Well, it's really not scary at all.
He reached out and pulled at the "smiling face" indifferently, but found that he couldn't change it easily. It was as if some supernatural effect had fixed the old man's face in an extremely strange state.
interesting.
Chris became very interested and took off all the clothes on the body. Then he examined it carefully and soon found something strange on the old man's back.
Those were a few pitch-black words, as if they were made up of the blood of some mysterious creature.
"Embrace the stars."
What do those things that describe "stars" mean? The black seven-pointed star, embracing the stars, and pursuing the hope of the stars after death...
Chris finally couldn't bear it any longer. As if he was under some strong temptation, he raised his head with a slight tremor and looked at the vast night sky.
Suddenly, everything dawned on him.
So that's how it is. All of this was His guidance, just so that I could not help but raise my head and look into the eyes of the great Him at this moment!
It was a black star so huge that it was difficult to describe even with human intelligence!
Most of his body is a terrifying giant eye, staring at every corner of the universe at any time, watching the past, present and future of all things, emitting endless chaotic power almost every moment, enough to make everything in the world crazy and chaotic!
Chris screamed, his heart pounding, and a lot of indescribable information emerged in his mind, and he was about to be changed in an instant.
"ah!"
A black seven-pointed star filled with chaotic aura appeared on his chest.
However, the black seven-pointed star had just appeared when the red mark on Chris's hand shone brightly, and the half-appeared black seven-pointed star gradually faded away.
It disappeared completely.
When Chris came to his senses, he found that the terrifying giant star in the night sky had disappeared, and a large amount of information in his mind had also disappeared.
In the end it was as if nothing had happened.
"…"
Chris stood there in silence for a long time, shook his head, and calmly and boredly restored the corpse to its original state.
He turned and left the morgue, disappearing silently into the dark night.
Chapter 107 "Alice"
A few days later, Zain, the assistant priest of the Church of Storms, finally arrived at the mining area and performed a careful inspection and purification ritual with a solemn look.
The mine owner, whom the miners had never seen before, and his followers were very humble in front of Zain, as if they were bugs that could be crushed to death at any time, and they couldn't even speak clearly.
Many people would even kneel down before the Zain priests, thinking that the priests were God's spokesmen and that they should kneel down before the great storm priests.
Assistant Priest Zain doesn't care what ordinary people think.
"Well, the matter is basically resolved."
According to his serious statement, the evil spirits that originally existed in the mining area have been completely expelled by him.
Chris didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but at least he succeeded in calming people's hearts, and no one dared to raise any objections.
Another period of time passed. Even though people around him bullied and insulted him, he didn't care at all and worked hard to disguise himself.
Until one day, Chris gradually realized that pretending to be "Liam" could no longer benefit him.
Maybe the contrast wasn't strong enough. Chris figured out a rule: the greater the difference between his disguised identity and his usual one, the better the effect.
Chris silently pondered his next fake identity in the mine.
He quietly left the mining area in the early hours of the morning and came to his own safe house in the city of Finn, a place that even Byrne and his sister didn't know about.
When Chris left Nasir, he felt that he needed a secret place like this, where no one would know and it would be easy to hide and store all the things he needed.
In fact, he also has such a safe house in the West City District of Nasir Town. Chris secretly bought it under a fake identity, and only he knew of its existence.
Perhaps the Lord of Lost also knows?
"The Lord doesn't care."
The safe house in Finn City is located in a messy apartment area newly built on the outskirts of the city in recent years. It is inconspicuous among the many chaotic buildings.
But there were several traps set up in the room by Chris using the "Trap Master". Two thieves had died on the spot because of them, and it took a lot of effort to deal with the bodies.
He did not enter through the locked front door, but climbed in through the window, moving as quietly as a cat, carefully avoiding the traps placed on the ground.
The walls, ceiling, and floor were shrouded in darkness, and there was a suffocating dullness in the air, making it almost impossible to make out the specific outlines of any object.
Even without seeing, Chris is still able to avoid traps and find what he needs.
He silently recalled the layout of the room and took out Byrne's latest improved red potion from the cabinet at the edge of the safe house. There were many white floating substances inside.
Next to the potion was Chris's private collection of the second-level supernatural material "Red Jade Liquid", as well as some gold coins smeared with snake venom.
That bottle of red potion is the magical potion "Blood Healing" that can heal old injuries. It is very effective in improving old injuries at the flesh and blood level.
Unfortunately, the cost of its production materials is extremely high, and with the existence of Irene, the family's focus is not on "Blood Healing" for the time being.
Byrne felt that Blood Healing had great economic potential and decided to wait until the pharmaceutical factory was completely built before trying to mass-produce it.
After Chris took the "Blood Healing" potion, he stood there calmly waiting for the effect of the potion, which would take at least several hours to take effect, and
time passed little by little.
Gradually, a chaotic sound was heard outside the house, including the voices of merchants hawking their goods, the flirting of prostitutes, passers-by chatting, and gang members arguing with each other.
The young man had an indifferent look in his eyes as he stood silently in the dark corner of the room. The scar on his face miraculously faded away.
"Bang!"
Maybe a gang member opened fire. Suddenly there were screams and commotion outside, followed by the sound of people running, and then a series of gunshots and curses.
Chris felt that the scar on his face had completely healed. He took out a bright golden wig made of collected hair, put it on his head, then carefully opened the window a little bit and looked out.
The warm rays from the two suns shone through the gaps into the dark room, making him frown.
Very dazzling.
It was indeed the Green gang that was fighting with others, and one gang member was beaten to death. The remaining gang members were divided into two groups and confronted each other on both sides of the street.
It wouldn't be long before the patrol arrived, but by then the gang members would have fled.
It's an unimportant thing, Chris shook his head, not caring at all about the outside situation that has nothing to do with him.
As gunshots rang out one after another, he calmly took out the prepared props, lit candles, and carefully put on makeup in front of the mirror, completely changing his appearance once again.
After carefully putting on makeup, Chris took out a set of low-slung shoulders, low-pointed waist and white bell-shaped skirt and put it on, and put on a big hat to cover her long golden hair.
He stared at himself in the mirror for a while and nodded.
Well, it's done.
"Uncles, I can't find my family and I'm so hungry."
In the afternoon, a pitiful blonde "girl" appeared in front of the Fein City Patrol Bureau.
She has long hair like golden sand, beautiful eyes, a pitiful and fragile look, delicate and moving facial features, and luxurious clothes that are obviously only owned by an aristocratic family.
When the patrol guards saw the "girl", most of them immediately felt pity for her and wanted to find her family as soon as possible.
And everyone thought of one thing, since she was the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family, there would definitely be a handsome reward if they could help her find her family.
"Miss, what is your name? Which family are you from? What is your last name?"
An elderly patrol guard lowered his head and asked Chris kindly.
"My name is Alice."
Chris lowered his head in mock shyness and continued to answer by imitating Vanessa's voice from a few years ago as best as possible.
"My dad said that no matter what, you can't tell strangers your last name..."
The old guard immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Ms. Alice, don't worry, we are all good people, you can tell us."
Chris was silent for a long time, still shaking his head in pretended fear, and said nothing.
The guards standing at the door of the patrol bureau looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
If "she" was just a child from an ordinary family, the guards might have let her go. After all, there were more than one or two homeless children on the streets of Fein City.
They were not from the Dawn Orphanage, so how could they care so much?
But the clothes on "her" were worth a lot of money. If the "girl" was killed after leaving here, when the parents of the noble family came to question them, they would be in big trouble.
"Woo…"
Chris cried, tears falling one by one, choking from time to time, and at the same time he felt that his spirituality was increasingly boiling.
interesting.
He hates boredom and is born to like interesting things, but in fact most people are boring, so he can only learn to find fun.
Chris was invited to the patrol station by the guards. Some guards asked her about her situation gently, while many guards went out to ask various noble families if anyone had lost a child.
He watched people busying about, as if he was back to that time many years ago.
At that time, Chris suddenly pushed the little fat boy from behind in the orphanage, causing him to fall to the ground in a spread-eagle position.
He knew that the force and angle of the fall would not hurt the other person, but would only make the fat boy angry and humiliated, fully alleviating his inner boredom.
However, Chris never expected that Vanessa would limp out and meddle in other people's business, and even dare to grab his clothes.
Vanessa...
In fact, that guy is still as stupid as before. He gets angry and sad for no reason because of people who have almost no connection with him, and his heart is bound by too many ridiculous moral cognitions.
While sitting in the patrol station waiting, Chris was thinking while eavesdropping on the conversations of the guards around him.
A guard said loudly: "I heard that the Lorn people have destroyed the patrol bureau and the guards."
"Ah? Then how do they maintain law and order?" another guard was surprised.
The guard replied, "Actually, they are still the same guards, but they have been given a new name, the police. Do you think that we Syat people are learning everything from Lorne, will they change us into police too?"
"What do you mean by police?"
"It seems to mean order. It is said that changing the name was suggested by the Order Church. Some of them demanded reforms in this regard."
Whether it's guards or police, Chris thinks they should be the same because the people inside have not changed.
Most of them are hyenas that run rampant over ordinary people. They claim to be maintaining law and order, but in fact they often oppress civilians.
If there is a police station in Nasir in the future, perhaps someone like Vanessa will be needed to become the manager in order to truly play a role in maintaining public order.
Will there be a police station in Nasir in the future? Chris thinks it is very likely.
Because, when Byrne decided to build the factory, he told him one thing, which was the vision and dream for the future.
"Chris, you may not believe it now, but I can foresee the future from the book. The population of Nasir will definitely increase, until it gradually becomes a prosperous city from the original town!"
"As long as we can solve the problems of pirates and the Poseidon Cult, Nasir's geographical location and development prospects will become very good, and it will definitely be comparable to Fein City in the end!"
"We will have a city, Nasir City, and it will be a city built by our Fisher himself!"
Chris was not well-educated and did not quite understand some of Byrne's terminology, but he was completely willing to believe in Byrne's dream.
Suddenly, he noticed the various looks the guards gave him: concern, worry, greed, and impatience.
Chris felt the violent boiling of spirituality!
At this moment, it has been more than three months since he left Fischer.
When Renzo, the sheriff of the Lion Family, came to the patrol station in person to see the missing girl, the guards were suddenly surprised to find that "she" had disappeared!
No one knows why the "girl" disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone that day.
Happy New Year to everyone! Thank you very much for your support!
Chapter 108 Sequence "Servant"
"Respected Lord Baron Byrne, hello, I am a businessman from Finn City, Robert Lane. I am a distant relative of Viscount Bester, and I want to cooperate with the Fisher family to invest in a factory."
The businessman bowed politely to express his respect for the extraordinary nobleman.
Byrne smiled but felt something was wrong. The businessman in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, even though they had just met.
A distant relative of Viscount Best?
Something seemed wrong, and Byrne was not sure whether the Viscount really had this distant relative.
The situation on the East Coast has been unstable in recent months. The Poseidon Cult has burned down three villages, massacred thousands of people, and even destroyed two baron families and a dozen knight families!
The Storm Church was extremely furious and determined to completely wipe out the Poseidon Cult. The sea war that Viscount Best had predicted was about to come.
At that time, the Fisher family would also be obliged to participate in the war.
After realizing something was wrong, he quickly felt that he needed to be alert.
The businessman had a friendly smile on his face, his brown hair was combed very neatly, and his black clothes were meticulously dressed, but there was an unconcealable teasing in his eyes.
Byrne was silent for a long time, then nodded and asked,
"Mr. Robert, our family has a very friendly relationship with the Lion family. If you want to invest in our Fischer factory, the Fischer family welcomes it. I just want to ask you more directly, how much money do you plan to invest?"
The businessman tilted his head and hesitated after hearing this. After thinking for a long time, he said,
"Well, for this, I want to invest at least 500 gold. Maybe more than 500, but it depends on how you can convince me to spend more money."
He looked at Byrne with a smile and asked:
"Why don't you tell me about your specific ideas for the future development of the Fischer Factory?"
Relying on the fact that he was a distant relative of Viscount Best, the merchant's tone became less respectful.
"Um..."
Byrne was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Chris?"
When the businessman heard the name, he suddenly frowned and the smile on his face disappeared completely in an instant.
As Chris took off the wig on his head, he fell into deep thought. How was he exposed?
Byrne's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a long time before he said in surprise:
"You are so amazing. If I didn't have extraordinary abilities, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was you!"
Chris asked calmly as he took off his clothes and the cushions that were supporting his feet.
"How did you do that?"
Byrne smiled and replied, "Because we are so familiar with each other, my deep memory records all the tiny details of your movements. After comparison, I can realize that the person in front of me is probably you..."
He paused and added: "In fact, the most important reason is the sense of familiarity. I felt something was wrong from the beginning, so I wondered if someone was pretending to be me, and compared it with the memory in my mind."
At this point, Byrne nodded and praised Chris's performance sincerely:
"It should be easy if you want to deceive someone you don't know well. Nice disguise! I think it will be very useful!"
Byrne showed an extremely happy smile on his face and hugged Chris.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
He gently reached out to pat his cousin's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation and concern.
"Since you're back, it means you must have completely awakened your spirituality, enough to advance to the third level."
"Chris, you must have suffered a lot during this period of time in order to complete the promotion ceremony. It is a blessing for all members of the Fisher family to have a reliable person like you in the family. As the head of the family, I must thank you."
Chris calmly dodged Byrne's hand. He didn't want anyone other than his sister to touch his body, leaving Byrne alone, feeling a little embarrassed.
But Byrne still breathed a sigh of relief. The few months after Chris left seemed extremely long, and the Fisher family was almost unable to hold on.
The Case family has been making more and more demands, and they did not stop embezzling even after receiving a large number of gifts.
It is more likely that the Garcia family behind the scenes is pushing too hard. The Case family has been forcing the Fisher family to let go or even leave Nasir Town.
The Case family has not yet released the kidnapped son of Theo, and wants to completely intervene in the management of this town.
Mayor Nasir, who has long since stopped being in charge and lives in seclusion, is just a figurehead. All the affairs of the town, big or small, are now decided by the Fisher family, who maintain the operation of the entire family through the various benefits they gain from controlling the town.
If the town of Nasir were completely lost, it would be a catastrophic blow to the Fisher family.
They tortured and killed workers in the town of Nasir, led cultists to attack late at night, and kidnapped relatives of family members.
The actions of the Case family have reached a point where the Fisher family can no longer tolerate it.
They must launch a counterattack and cannot just wait to die in silence!
"It's finally here."
Byrne, Irene, and Chris gathered in the basement.
Soon Chris will be promoted to the third level of the "Path of Silence".
They will hold a small meeting first, and then call Vanessa, Eric, and Archibald into the basement to participate in the sacrifice together.
Although they are all lost believers of the Order of Dawn, the Fisher family is still the absolute core of the secret organization.
Byrne looked at the three people and said, "Actually, before we officially start the sacrifice, I plan to decide a very important matter at a family meeting."
"Should we give John and Theo blood so that they can obtain the great gift of the Lost Lord?"
"In fact, we have always needed more blood recipients. It is too difficult to support the family with the strength of just a few of us. It is like walking on a thin surface of ice. It seems safe, but in fact, you may fall into the deep ice cave at any time."
Irene was silent for a while, then said, "I recently tested them, and Tio is still the same as before, with no intention of getting involved in anything related to 'nothingness'."
"As for John, he quickly evaded the deeper topics of religion with unbearable shrewdness, like a loach slipping in the hand."
So that's how it is. After listening to Irene's statement, Byrne already had a specific answer in his mind.
Chris remained silent. He had said too much in recent times.
I don't want to say another word.
Byrne took out the voting scale again, placed it on the wooden table in the basement, and nodded.
"Let's get started."
They wrote down their opinions on paper one by one, and put them on the scale one by one. In the end, the three of them had exactly the same result!
Three votes in favor of Theo being the blood recipient, and three votes against John being the blood recipient.
In fact, in Fischer's family meetings, it is extremely rare for a resolution to be passed unanimously, and it was passed unanimously twice on the same day.
They could all sense what kind of person Theo was. That man was loyal and valued honor, and he had already been the most core and trusted member of the family.
Even though Theo doesn't care about gods or religion, there's no need to worry about his loyalty.
As for the maritime merchant John, although the Fisher family has been cooperating with him for more than ten years, the relationship between the two has always been purely that of partners.
Both parties traded on an equal footing and helped each other, but neither took even a step beyond the line.
John himself was very shrewd and extremely afraid of being involved in any unnecessary danger, so he did not give Irene any opportunity to preach.
Byrne could even guess that after John learned of the existence of the Lord of the Lost, in order to save his life, he would definitely swear an oath at the first opportunity, declaring that he was willing to join the Order of the Dawn and never betray the Lord of the Lost.
However, he would certainly be filled with fear and anxiety deep in his heart and would be completely unwilling to join a dangerous heretical sect.
If John was forced to join the Order of Dawn, the final result might not be good. Byrne and others felt that it was not a good thing, and it would be better to let him be a collaborator.
Since the vote was completed, Byrne nodded again and continued,
"I will call the three of them over, and call Tio in as well. First, we will perform the Lost Ceremony to make Tio the recipient of blood, and then perform the Blessing Ceremony to allow Tio and Chris to receive the power bestowed by God."
Soon, there were seven people standing in the basement.
Vanessa, Eric, and Archibald all maintained solemn expressions.
"What on earth is going on!"
Theo's face was filled with shock and astonishment!
He had long guessed that there might be a secret door in the basement of the manor that could lead to a deeper underground space.
But I never expected that there was such a vast underground second floor under the Fisher family!
"Tio, we need to explain everything here to you."
Byrne stared seriously at his swordsmanship teacher, the captain of the guard, and continued speaking rigorously.
"You should have noticed that, although it hasn't been made public, Vanessa and the others suddenly have extraordinary powers."
"And all of this stems from the great Lost Lord. He is the deep root and foundation of our Fisher family. He is the past, present, and future."
In the next few minutes, Byrne selectively told Theo many important truths that had been hidden for many years.
Vanessa and the other two had already heard it once and continued to listen silently.
"I was really surprised that this would happen. I never thought the truth would be like this."
Theo was so shocked that his mind went blank. He could sense that the Fisher family might have some secrets, but he could not imagine such an amazing possibility!
Irene asked calmly, "Theo, are you willing to join the Dawn Cult and become a member of the Lost Lord's Shelter Gift?"
"I...I do."
He hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Things went smoothly, and Theo had little resistance to joining the Order of the Dawn.
He felt that there was actually not much difference. He would serve the Fisher family no matter what. If he could gain extraordinary powers through this, then that was naturally a good thing.
Next, Theo followed Irene and Byrne into the spirit world and became the recipient of blood.
His eyes were filled with shock from beginning to end. For a middle-aged man who knew nothing about mysticism, religion and other things, the amount of information he obtained today was simply too much, enough to repeatedly impact his worldview!
The next step is to offer sacrifices to the Lord of the Lost and pray for His blessings.
Everyone knelt down, and Irene performed the ceremony very skillfully. Only Theo was staring at every step in amazement, still unable to recover.
The path he was given was a brand new stairway to godhood.
The road to power!
Sequence Power "Servant"!
Chapter 109 Sequence "The Pretender"
In fact, Karl was also hesitant when deciding which stairway to guide Theo to take.
People whose personality traits match the path will find it easier to reach the top when they set foot on the long stairway to godhood, but Tio's personality traits match both the "path of order" and the "path of authority."
The focus of "The Path of Order" is not to require extraordinary people to abide by laws and rules, but to maintain their inner principles.
The focus of the "Path to Power" is a strong identification with the existing class and external rules.
As for the "Road of Conquest", it is actually a path that Theo is completely unsuitable to embark on because he does not have strong ambitions.
Only those who have strong ambitions and want to devour almost everything can truly go further and further on the "Road to Conquest".
Theo is a "worker" who values loyalty and honor, and believes that since he has taken the Fisher family's money, he must be loyal to them as much as possible.
He has the personality traits required to embark on both the "path of power" and the "path of order".
After much consideration, Carl finally gave Theo the spiritual glow of the "Path of Authority".
Since Vanessa has already embarked on the "Path of Order", let Theo embark on the "Path of Authority". It is better to avoid duplication of certain functional extraordinary characteristics as much as possible.
The sequence power "Servant" of "The Way of Authority" has two extraordinary characteristics.
They are "Follow" and "Receive Reward" respectively.
The extraordinary characteristic of "Follow" is that the extraordinary person actively consumes spiritual power to designate a target within field of vision.
Afterwards, no matter where the target goes or where it is exactly, as long as it can theoretically reach the target's location, the "servant" can sense the target's location, and even the body can automatically move to the target's side uncontrollably.
Whether it is used to find teammates or search for enemies, "Follow" is a very useful extraordinary characteristic.
The second extraordinary characteristic, "Reward", is theoretically the strongest characteristic in the low-level sequence.
A transcendent who masters the power of the "servant" sequence can only activate it once a day. By accepting the active "reward" from a higher-level transcendent, he or she can temporarily gain an opportunity to use a certain power of the higher-level transcendent.
Because the sequence levels are completely different, even if it is the same supernatural power, the effect after using it is completely different. As a low-level supernatural being, the "servant" will definitely not have as powerful an effect as the original high-level supernatural being.
There is no doubt that the strength of "Servant" depends on whether the teammates are reliable enough, and the comprehensive upper limit is very high.
And when they step onto the road to power and reach a high position, the extraordinary people will become extremely good at destroying and defeating low-order people and hitting the weak ones. This is also a characteristic of this long step to becoming a god.
"This is the extraordinary power, the long steps to godhood mentioned by Mr. Byrne, the spiritual power of the sequence… It's really amazing!"
Confused and bewildered, Theo looked at his hands, feeling that they were unreal, as if everything happened too suddenly and unreal.
A large amount of abnormal information emerged out of nowhere in his mind, which was decomposed, arranged, and reconstructed, and finally made him suddenly realize what abilities he had gained.
To be honest, Theo couldn't understand this kind of thing at all.
Why did inexplicable information suddenly appear in his mind? Who put it in? Why did he know what kind of extraordinary power he had obtained because of it?
He didn't understand how it all happened.
It's just that my body has indeed become lighter and stronger, my strength has increased significantly, and I have even become stronger than when I was young.
At the same time, Theo also realized that there was some strange "thing" in her body that she couldn't see but could definitely feel.
It is like a silent lake that does not exist specifically in a certain part of the body. Only when you close your eyes can you notice the existence of the "lake" more clearly.
Is that spiritual power?
According to the calculation method set by Byrne, the physical fitness improvement brought by the "servant" is 6.8, while the spiritual power improvement is 3.2.
There is no doubt that it is a sequence power that tends to strengthen the body.
"…"
Theo silently experienced the changes in herself, her worldview was reshaped, and she was speechless for a long time.
The next person to receive the gift from the Lord of the Lost is Chris, and that is undoubtedly the highlight of today's sacrifice.
The Fishers were looking forward to great power almost more than ever.
They have been forced into a desperate situation by the overbearing Case family and must launch a desperate counterattack. They need to gather all their powerful forces to increase the possibility of victory.
Chris was silent, having completely figured one thing out.
Why one of the optional promotion rituals for the third step of the Path of Tranquility is to pretend to be various different people.
When he disguised himself as different people, he seemed to say a lot and was more eloquent than ever before, but he always remained quiet in his heart.
Chris silently disguised himself as different people in his heart. All the noise from the outside world and the reactions of the people never touched the tranquility deep in his heart.
Because the person he plays is completely different from himself, no matter how the outside world reacts and changes because of that role, it can never truly touch the inner world of the person himself.
Chris was just a quiet spectator from beginning to end.
He silently watched everyone's every expression and movement, observing the role he was playing.
The Fisher family presented the only remaining third-level extraordinary material "Dragon Ice Flower" to the Lost Lord.
It is a strange ice flower that looks like a dragon's head. It only blooms in the mountain streams in the north of the continent in winter every year and can be used to make many high-level alchemical potions.
Because of the various mysterious knowledge and strange things brought by the sudden arrival of the spiritual world, the demand for extraordinary materials among the extraordinary people on the continent of Oden suddenly became extremely high.
Their prices are also becoming increasingly high. It can be said that extraordinary materials are the commodities with the largest price increase in the past decade.
Carl stood in the spiritual world and chose one of the many blank "stars" to connect with the Path of Tranquility.
From now on, anyone who wants to advance to the third level of the Path of Tranquility must complete the advancement through the ritual of "Disguise" and the extraordinary material "Dragon Ice Flower" as well as auxiliary extraordinary materials.
Of course, apart from the Fisher family, no one in the world knows the specific potion formula and promotion ceremony.
Carl also looked at the other "stars" that had "things" of their own. Those strange things inside were all the laws of many worlds.
Some of them belong to the world of Krad, some belong to other worlds, and even many laws affect more than one world.
Carl didn't know how to destroy or change the existing laws of the world, but he understood one thing deep down in his heart: they must not be tampered with. If they were tampered with, there would undoubtedly be huge changes.
There exists a "masked man" in the new deep blue star.
It is impossible to tell its specific age or gender. It seems that its various characteristics are changing every moment, as if it is a certain person, or as if it is everyone.
Carl took away the spiritual glow and returned to the real world.
Every member of the Fisher family saw it.
A deep blue spiritual glow emerged in the basement.
"Thank you, great Lord of the Lost!" Irene's eyes were full of admiration and joy.
Everyone watched as it slowly came in front of Chris and gradually merged with him.
Everyone's expectations came to Chris, and he closed his eyes quietly and felt the influx of new power.
Sequence Power "Disguiser"!
Stronger physical fitness, greatly improved spiritual power, and new extraordinary abilities.
A lot of indescribable information poured in instantly, and was reconstructed and understood, allowing Chris to thoroughly understand the full picture of the "pretender".
He could feel that the physical improvement brought by the "Pretender" was greater than that of the "Mystic Scholar".
The strength increase of the "Mystic Scholar" sequence is physical fitness 20 and spiritual strength 50.
The "pretender"'s physical fitness is improved to the equivalent of 40, and the spiritual power is improved to around 30.
Chris felt very clearly that his physical strength was close to that of a lower-level bloodline knight, and even the flintlock bullets could only cause scratches.
The "Pretender" is completely different from the "Mystic" sequence which has many supernatural powers. It only has one supernatural power, which is called "Fake Spirit Cards".
The extraordinary people can create a kind of cards depicting a certain character by consuming spiritual power, and anyone who tears up and burns the cards can instantly transform into the character depicted on the cards.
Whether it is the voice, appearance, even the smell and gender, they can all be completely changed, but it is impossible to imitate the extraordinary powers possessed by that character.
However, there is a time limit for transformation through "Pseudo Spirit Cards", and the specific time depends entirely on the amount of spiritual power injected into the card when it was made.
Moreover, users other than the person himself can only transform once a day through the "Pseudo Spirit Cards".
If Chris today puts all his spiritual power into a card, it can provide up to ten hours of disguise time.
"very good."
Chris muttered to himself and slowly stretched out his hand. Blue flames appeared at his fingertips, burning and jumping continuously. The next moment, a card depicting the image of "Baron Case" in his memory emerged from the blue flames.
Chapter 110 Counterattack!
In the basement, Byrne had already explained the Fisher family's next plan.
"We must take advantage of their unpreparedness and defeat them one by one, disintegrating the power of the Keith family one by one."
During the time when Chris was away, they did not do nothing, but collected intelligence on the Case family and the Garcia family through various methods.
Including the members of the entire Case family, the members of the Garcia family, the industrial structure of the two families, and the personal hobbies of some family members.
The Fischer family even obtained the internal terrain of the Case family manor by bribing a servant, and that servant is now "protected" in the Fischer manor.
Byrne used his "deep memory" to commit all the details of the intelligence he collected to memory.
He repeatedly studied the various pieces of information in his memory, and after integrating them, he worked out a very detailed combat plan.
But there was still a key question in Byrne's mind that he hadn't figured out.
"Do we need to tell the Lion Family about what we are going to do next? Is it a good thing or a bad thing to let Viscount Best know about this action?"
After hearing this, Archibald shouted, "If we tell Viscount Best, won't we be caught?"
Theo also nodded and said, "It is indeed a problem. If we tell them about this, we will be easily dealt with by the Lion Family in the future."
Byrne nodded, then looked at Irene, Chris and the others, wanting to know what they thought.
Irene had a different opinion. She shook her head and said, "I think we should inform the Lion Family about this matter in advance, because we have decided to rely on them, and we are deeply bound to them."
"Since we want to be deeply bound, we must be of one mind whether moving forward or backward."
That is indeed the truth. Byrne took a deep breath and nodded, "Well, and I want to understand one thing, that is, we don't have to worry about being caught by the Lion Family."
"Because if the Lion Family wants to crush us, they don't need to spend any effort at all. There is actually no essential difference between having a handle or not."
Besides, he wanted to understand one more thing.
Since the purpose of making friends with the Lion Family is to deal with the possible fate of the Garcia Family.
Well, if the whole matter is not explained clearly to Viscount Best in advance, the Lion Family will be caught off guard even if they want to help the Fisher Family.
In fact, he had encountered similar things before. A subordinate of the Fischer family did something that caused quite a bit of trouble, and he didn't report it in advance. When it was Byrne's turn to deal with the aftermath, he was in a very embarrassing situation.
Archibald and Theo suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.
Fischer was just a kitten, so he didn't have to worry about whether the lion family had any evidence against him.
If the lion wants to bite them to death, it only needs to open its bloody mouth.
Byrne concluded: "Besides that, our act of greeting them in advance can also increase trust, so let's do it."
——
The Four Towns are located in the north of the East Coast Province. The four towns are the port town of Nasir in the northeast, the most prosperous gold mining town of Slovan in the southeast, the poor town of Fera in the northwest near the Maple Leaf Province, and finally the horse racing town of Black Mountain in the southwest.
To the south of Black Mountain Town is the city of Finn. As the most famous horse racing town, it has been very prosperous in recent years. During the horse racing season from February to October every year, many nobles and wealthy people come here to bet on horses.
Horse racing is a competitive sport invented by the Lorn people. It has gradually spread to most parts of the Oden continent and is widely welcomed by the upper class.
The Syat people, who are keen on learning from Loen, have always been fond of horse racing and horse betting since they were driven to the east of the continent by the Loen people.
It is now February, winter is gradually passing and spring is just coming.
A Silver Shield Cup horse race will be held in Black Mountain Town. Many nobles will come to the town to participate in gambling, and the whole town will become unprecedentedly lively.
Baron Case's uncle, Os Case, was a person who was very keen on horse racing.
Oss arrived at the racecourse filled with noise and entered the luxurious private room after being received by the servants. Holding a glass of champagne, he gazed down at the horses running below.
"Win! Win! Win!"
His orange-yellow snake eyes were full of confidence, and there was an exclusive report claiming that the new horse ranked third was no ordinary horse.
It has a hidden bloodline of Warcraft, and its physical fitness is much better than other racehorses. It will definitely win this race!
Others don't know this key news yet. Oss decided to place a heavy bet before the news was exposed, and finally make a lot of money!
"Hurry up, hurry up, faster!"
Unexpectedly, the so-called "Warcraft" horse could not run fast at all and soon fell to the last place.
When he saw that the horse he had bet on was lagging behind, he couldn't help but stand up, staring, gasping for breath, and watching the race end in complete disbelief.
"How could this be! Impossible, impossible! It's obvious that it will win, damn it, it's fake news, fuck it!"
Oss smashed things in the room like a madman, leaned against the wall trembling, sweat dripping down his cheeks.
Oh no, I lost too much money this time, and I have no way to explain myself to my family!
"Damn it! What do I need to explain? I'm a second-level transcendent! What can those old guys say about me? Are they going to kick me out of the house?"
Thinking of this, Oss felt much more confident. No matter how much money he lost, his strength was very important to the family.
"The missing money can be sucked back from the Fisher family sooner or later. I don't need to panic."
"Boom boom boom."
"Come in!" He frowned and looked over.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. The servant who came in was not at all panicked when he saw the mess on the ground. It was obvious that he was already used to the emotional outbursts of the guests at the horse racing casino.
He smiled and said:
"Mr. Os, Lord Viscount Garcia wants to see you. He is waiting for you outside."
"What?"
Os was shocked that Viscount Garcia had come to Black Mountain Town and was looking for him.
He didn't dare to keep the other party waiting any longer, and quickly followed the servant's instructions and came outside.
However, the two walked further and further away, until they came to a small woods surrounding the horse racing track where there was no one at all. Oss already felt something was wrong.
"Where do you think Lord Viscount Garcia is?"
Just as he became alert, he suddenly saw Viscount Garcia walking out of the woods not far away.
The man in military uniform looked at Os and said solemnly:
"Mr. Oss, come here for a moment."
Viscount Garcia had a beard and a resolute face. His bright eyes were full of majesty and insight, and his thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if he was always alert and decisive.
That was Viscount Garcia, who had the terrifying nickname "The Cutter". When he was young, he had always been a war enthusiast. He strongly opposed the signing of a peace treaty with the Rheans and killed many opponents of his family in private.
Every time Oss came to him, he would resist instinctively, full of fear, and bow his head respectfully, not daring to breathe, and asked:
"My Lord Viscount, do you have something to talk to me about? I didn't expect you to come here. I actually thought you were not interested in horse racing."
He didn't know why Viscount Garcia was here, and he didn't understand what the other party wanted to tell him.
Normally, the arrogant and busy Viscount Garcia would only communicate with his baron nephew and would never pay any attention to him, a man without a title.
Os suddenly thought of Viscount Garcia's hobby and immediately said, "In order to completely control Fisher, my nephew hopes to make Irene Fisher, who has the talent of a spellcaster, his lover."
"I heard that she has not given birth yet. When the time comes, we can ask an ordinary person in the family to help her give birth to a child."
Such an approach is immoral and unethical, but it will not occupy Baron Case's own fertility limit and will undoubtedly maximize benefits, so Baron Case himself does not care.
Os smiled and continued, "My Lord Viscount, although this is our plan, if you wish to obtain Irene Fisher's body, we will definitely give her to you."
Viscount Garcia was silent for a long time, and then his deep voice came slowly.
"I came here not for anything else but to make you die."
Os looked up in shock, and the next moment he saw a large amount of orange-yellow flames appearing around him. They burned fiercely around him, as if he was in a sea of fire!
"Why! Lord Viscount, stop it!"
As a bloodline knight, Os roared, feeling the severe pain in his body. He instinctively activated the bloodline power of the "Black Stone Iron Dragon" and grew many extremely hard black dragon scales. Even though he was instantly engulfed by flames, he was only injured and not dead.
But he didn't dare to attack the powerful "Viscount Garcia", so he turned around and ran away madly with a lot of flames!
Why?
Why on earth did Viscount Garcia want to kill himself?
Oss ran wildly wrapped in flames, his heart filled with shock, fear and confusion.
However, just as he turned and ran a few steps, he saw the servant standing behind him looking at him with a smile.
Something is wrong. This servant is not surprised at all and is even laughing. There must be something wrong with him!
After Oss finished thinking, the expression on his face changed rapidly.
Sure enough, the next moment the servant pulled out his flintlock and shot at him.
Oss didn't notice that there was a firefly floating in front of him, and the bullet hit him exactly along the trajectory of the firefly.
The bullet failed to penetrate his body, and he continued to run desperately. Suddenly, he saw his nephew Baron Case walking towards him quickly with a nervous look on his face.
"Uncle Os! Be careful! There's an assassin lurking in!"
"I know, but Viscount Garcia just now..."
Os opened his mouth nervously, but before he could finish his sentence, a dagger suddenly pierced his heart, avoiding the very hard dragon scales with great precision.
"You!"
He looked at his nephew "Baron Case" in disbelief, and the man stared at him with extreme indifference, stirring the dagger without hesitation.
