Chapter 225 Roman Heir

"The Star Embracing Society?"

Byrne frowned and silently recited the name that was already well-known to him. The Star Club has been very active in Syat for decades and has caused many troubles.

The most horrific plot was the attempt by the Star Bearers to murder members of the royal family, House Yardley.

He was a man who had the hope of becoming a monarch and one of the royal heirs who would have the chance to become the next king of Syat. However, he was nearly killed by the Star Society and was only saved by sheer luck.

It is said that they worship an otherworldly god called "Chaos Star", and his believers fully believe that after death their souls can come to that new world in chaos, become a member of the back of "Chaos Star", and obtain eternal happiness in the new world.

Therefore, the believers of "Chaos Star" are not afraid of death. As long as they always follow the teachings, they will only regard the impending death as a gift.

The leader of the Star Embrace Society is a mysterious man known as "Black Starlight". His strength is unknown and his true identity is unknown.

There are just rumors that he is very likely to be someone from one of the top ten families.

In the decades since the gods vanished, heretical cults have expanded rapidly around the world, and the Star Embrace's influence in Siat has grown.

They are extremely hostile to the Syat nobles who believe in the true God, and have been trying every possible means to cause all kinds of destruction. All the true God churches hate the Star Embracers and will execute them immediately once they are discovered.

Byrne fell into deep thought, because the Fisher family was also helping the Roman family transport religious contraband, so he was very clear about one thing.

Many big families appear to hate heretical sects, but secretly, they may have unclear cooperative relationships with them.

After all, those heretical sects control special resources, and not everyone wants their family to be controlled by the church forever, especially in the chaotic era after the gods disappeared.

Viscount Best slowly explained, "You saw those demons just now, right?"

"I once sold this forbidden knowledge to Sun Gold. It is a special power that can sign a contract with the devil."

Make a contract with the devil.

Byrne had only seen relevant knowledge in some of the oldest banned books.

Viscount Best continued, "Demons are a powerful force. I think power itself has no distinction between good and evil. It's just that the churches are pedantic."

"In order to obtain the forbidden knowledge that could sign a contract with the devil, I had no choice but to cooperate with the Star Embraceers. At that time, I met their leader, 'Black Star'."

Black Star, Byrne's eyes lit up. He was very interested in this mysterious existence and immediately asked, "What kind of person is the legendary Black Star?"

However, Viscount Best's answer was quite ambiguous.

"It's hard to say... or rather, I don't know."

After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "Black Star claims to be the messenger of God, and everyone seems to have a very different opinion of him."

"He is a very strange person who especially likes to help those who are lost. Many people are in love with that mysterious man, and Black Star is also very good at hiding his true identity. So far, no one knows his true identity..."

Viscount Best took a deep breath. He seldom met anyone smarter and more foolproof than himself, but "Black Star" was obviously such a person.

"After I met him, I tracked down that mysterious man for a long time, but I didn't find any clues at all. It seemed that the 'Black Star' did not exist in this world and was just a legend."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would probably have thought so too."

Byrne still remembered that among the people who surrounded and killed the Storm Bishop "Roaring King", there were followers of the Star Embrace Society, and among the people who attacked Earl Hoven, there were actually members of the Star Embrace Society.

Even when Chris was out looking for the promotion ceremony, he met a very strange old believer of the Star Embrace Society.

Those guys are very scary, they can get into every place without any holes. In comparison, the believers of "The Last Blood", which is also active in the Syat area, are much more honest.

It is said that after years of hard work, the followers of "The Last Blood" have found four "witch candidates" who were reincarnated from the soul fragments of the Witch of the End.

According to the ancient oracle passed down, all the "witch candidates" will fight each other until the last one survives.

She will have the honor of becoming the vessel for the revival of the Witch of the End.

Finally, witness the resurrection of the great being!

Because only one of the "witch candidates" can survive to the end, the three leaders of the "Last Blood" opposed each other and supported different "witch candidates" respectively.

They agreed that when the fifth and final "witch candidate" appeared, they would officially start fighting frantically and would never hold back on each other.

Viscount Best nodded slightly, took out another wine glass, poured himself some wine, and said calmly, "There is no doubt that the Star Embracing Society, which directly hates the Siat nobles, is a much greater threat than those witch believers who are entertaining themselves."

"That's true. Those people are likely to attack us, just like they did to the Hoven family."

Byrne nodded, then asked, "A breakthrough may take one or two months, or even longer, perhaps more than a year. Where do you plan to make a breakthrough?"

Viscount Best once again showed his fox-like smile and said slowly: "Haha, that is my most important secret."

The next day, afternoon.

Finally, Acting Bishop Zain Fussack arrived.

He no longer looked young, but had become a middle-aged man with the temperament of a theological aristocrat. His every move had the attitude of a superior, he was stern and had a solemn expression.

However, he was not the last helper.

The last person who came to help was a strong man that everyone else could imagine, but he was still a little surprising.

That man was Aldrich Romen, the "Dragon Tamer" of the Romen family.

Aldrich Romen is a man with black hair and wearing a light blue tuxedo. He looks even younger than Byrne, but because he is a powerful monarch, his actual age is already over fifty.

He walked calmly and steadily, as if every step was firm and confident; his eyes were deep and clear, revealing a lucid mind.

"Hello everyone, I am Aldrich Romen, a friend of Viscount Best."

"This time I came to the East Coast specifically to help Viscount Best, the Lion Family, and even more so for the Roman Family itself..."

Aldridge introduced himself, then smiled and chatted with everyone present one by one, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

His words exude wisdom and maturity, he is neither impatient nor anxious, and every sentence he says is calm and composed.

Byrne suddenly understood why Viscount Best would support Aldridge to become the new Duke, because the contrast between Ariel and him was too obvious.

He was a very sophisticated and calm wise man.

He was shocked to find that there were ten completely different rings on Aldrich's hands, and each ring was emitting a special spiritual fluctuation.

Then, Byrne quickly realized one thing.

Are all ten rings mysterious artifacts? Moreover, he could even feel that three of the rings were very different from the others, as if they were powerful forbidden artifacts!

The heir of the Roman family is indeed a very powerful guy!

Byrne was completely shocked. It was the first time he saw such a rich man carrying three forbidden objects with him. This guy had more equipment than a viscount's family!

He immediately realized the gap between the Fisher family and the truly top families. Although the Roman family was considered outstanding among the top ten families, Byrne had never thought that the two sides would be so far apart.

"Fortunately, the prince didn't fight to the death last time. If he had released all the power of the forbidden item, I'm afraid we might not have won in the end."

At that time, the prince knew that one of the three had died, and even if the remaining two tried their best to capture Fein, they would not be able to defend afterwards.

The more powerful the forbidden object, the greater the cost of releasing it. Prince Conrad must have some concerns.

"It looks like the people I'm waiting for are finally here. Let's go."

Viscount Best smiled and finally decided to lead everyone to leave Maple Leaf Manor and head to the place where he decided to break through.

They came outside and suddenly found that it was snowing.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the white snowflakes falling on the maple leaves. It was clearly still late autumn, but it was snowing for no apparent reason.

The silent world is blown by the gentle breeze, snowflakes are falling like a dream, the fiery red maple trees are covered with white snow, and crystal clear icicles hang from the tops like exquisite crystal ornaments.

Everything becomes quiet and peaceful under the cover of snow, the noise gradually disappears, and the whole world seems to be wrapped in a layer of silver gauze, exuding an otherworldly beauty.

The mountains in the distance become even more magnificent against the backdrop of the white snow, as if they were covered with silver clothes.

"Why is it snowing in this season?" Renzo couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Aldridge calmly analyzed: "The snow this year is a bit abnormal. It's much earlier than before. Maybe there is some mysterious factor interfering."

"Mysterious factor?" Byrne muttered to himself.

"Don't worry about the snow. At least it's useless to us." Viscount Best said slowly.

"We are leaving now."

Next, they finally learned where Viscount Best wanted to go.

He did not choose to break through in his own manor, but went to a hidden valley in the distance. It was said that there was something hidden in that valley that could help Viscount Best break through to the monarch level.

On the way to the valley, every snowflake around danced and jumped like an elf, embellishing the world with a poetic and picturesque look, and everyone present felt peaceful and beautiful in their hearts.

Byrne suddenly saw the scene that had appeared in the previous prophecy.

Viscount Best took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and excitedly described the future prospects.

"Byrne, you know what? In a while, we will completely change the East Coast Province. Not only that, you and my family will go one step further!"

"In a few years, with the support of the Roman family, we will become the 'iron triangle' of Siayatri, where the word is determined. Hahahahaha!"

He stared at Byrne without saying anything else, but Byrne knew exactly what Best meant.

This man never forgot the ideal he expressed at that time, which was to become the new king of Syat!

But is that really good for the Fisher family?

Byrne's expression became complicated.
