Chapter 23 Promotion, Second Order Sequence

Taylor family.

Their family is one of the four major knight families in Nasir Town, and is very likely the strongest one. The family's first heir, Robert, has a very good relationship with Byrne.

There is a bathhouse in Nasir town that is specially open to wealthy people. After bathing, the two people sat in the steam sauna to fully relieve their fatigue.

Byrne turned his head and looked at his thin friend with blond hair for a long time, hesitating before finally speaking:

"Robert, you may have forgotten about the final payment of our Fisher family's investment."

Robert smiled and was silent for a while, then said:

"Balance payment? Oh my God, Byrne, do you really have to say this here?"

Byrne frowned slightly. When he saw Robert, whom he vaguely regarded as his brother, suddenly raised his voice and said to him loudly and dissatisfiedly:

"Didn't I tell you long ago that I'll use the money to buy new machines from the Empire, and then sell them to the mine owners in Syat. The profits we both make will multiply several times. We really don't have any extra funds right now!"

Byrne clenched his palms, trying to remain calm as much as possible, took a deep breath and said calmly:

"That's what you said half a year ago, Robert. We can't delay any longer. Our family is in urgent need of money."

Robert said nothing, stood up and walked away with a cold face, but was suddenly grabbed by Byrne.

He was about to get angry or even yell when he suddenly saw the ferocity in Byrne's eyes and was shocked.

Robert had only seen that kind of ferocious, wolf-like look in his uncle's eyes in his family. He knew how miserably a group of people who had deceived his uncle died in the end.

After realizing that Byrne was no longer the curious and timid little brother, Robert relaxed his shoulders and said:

"That's it. How about I return you half of what we agreed on? Fifteen gold coins is not a small amount."

Byrne didn't want to completely fall out with his friend, and fifteen gold coins were indeed enough.

"Okay, I agree." He nodded very calmly.

Robert smiled and hugged him, saying calmly, "I'm sorry, brother. I don't want to delay it, but business is really difficult to do."

After leaving the bath, Byrne sighed. If he hadn't made a promise in front of his father, he wouldn't have wanted to be so tough.

Pretending to be a strong and fierce person doesn't suit him, but his father Lucius said that he must learn how to be tough with "friends", otherwise he will drag down the Fisher family sooner or later.

Last week, civil war suddenly broke out in our northern neighbor, Rhea.

Some pro-war nobles believed that the king was too weak and wanted to tear up the peace treaty between the Kingdom of Rhea and the Kingdom of Syat, which had ten years left, and take back the land once occupied by the Syat people by force.

The king's side still has an overwhelming advantage, and this civil war will be settled soon.

However, people were in a panic. Although the war in the north had not really reached Syat, prices in various areas in the north of Syat suddenly soared.

The prices of extraordinary materials, which were already high, began to rise again.

The three members of the Fisher family decided at a family meeting to quickly raise funds to purchase a set of second-level extraordinary materials, because they would become increasingly unaffordable if they delayed any further.

Byrne followed Robert to get the money, and then took a carriage back home.

The sea merchant John, the man who had long since regained his health, was waiting at home with a smile. He was chatting and laughing with Irene and Lucius, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a while.

"Mr. John, haven't seen you for a while."

Byrne smiled and greeted John. After a while, John got straight to the point and said:

"I am willing to sell you the second-level supernatural material 'Wind Shark Black Blood'. This time I won't make any money from your Fisher family. Just think of it as an investment in friendship. It only costs fifty gold coins."

Before the war with neighboring countries broke out, the average price of second-level extraordinary materials had risen to around fifty-two gold coins. Now is a good time to stock up, and the price John mentioned is indeed a friendly price.

Irene smiled and said, "As expected of you, Mr. John, you are so generous. You really have a good vision. Investing in our Fisher Family will definitely be the most worthwhile decision in your life."

John smiled but said nothing. He knew money was important, but now the situation was tense, so the value of force was the highest among all things.

After several years of contact, he could realize that the members of the Fisher family were all very powerful extraordinary people and were indeed worthy of close friendship.

Putting aside other things, the powerful force that Irene possesses is extremely worth the investment. Who’s family members don’t get sick?

He had only heard of healing-type spellcasters who had reached the third level, "Monarch", or mysterious artifacts of the "Forbidden Level" possessing such powerful healing powers.

There are only a handful of "monarch"-level healing spellcasters in the entire Oden continent, and each use of the "forbidden" level mysterious artifacts requires a sufficient price.

He once suspected whether Irene of the Fisher family was hiding some forbidden mysterious object, but seeing how she released that power without any scruples, it didn't seem like that at all.

The sea merchant John stayed at Fisher's house for a formal dinner. The next day, just as the bright sun was rising just after the scorching sun, he came in person and brought the second-level extraordinary material "Wind Shark Black Blood".

After the merchant John left, the four members of the Fisher family gathered in the basement.

In the clean and tidy basement, there is a small but extremely exquisite altar, enshrining an ordinary-looking transparent bottle.

Five-year-old Chris stood silently beside the adults with his hands behind his back, like a little "adult".

He was extremely cute, with eyes as blue as the azure sky, slightly messy silver-white hair on his head, and he stood there with his hands behind his back, looking like a large, finely carved piece of art.

Chris is a quiet person who uses words sparingly and may not open his mouth once a day.

There was no concept of mental illness in that era, and the adults in the Fisher family originally thought that he had a brain problem. Later, they gradually figured out the situation.

He simply couldn't be bothered to communicate with anyone.

The members of the Fisher family knelt one after another, and Irene was at the front.

"Please, great Lord of the Lost, wherever your will reaches is the trajectory of our destiny."

"When your gaze falls, no one can escape it. When your voice rings, the thread of fate begins to resonate."

"We will present the new mystery to you. Please, great Lord of the Lost, grant the Fisher family further strength."

Carl felt the admiration of everyone. The emotions of each person who was connected to him would bring different experiences. The idea of ​​betrayal was like a bug bite.

He calmly absorbed the spiritual power and qualities that came from the extraordinary material.

To expand the first stage of the ascension to the godly realm, you can use multiple zero-level materials as a substitute for a single main material, but this is no longer possible starting from the second stage.

It is inevitable that higher-level extraordinary materials will be used as the main material.

Carl's consciousness came to the spirit world again. The black cross light floated in the sky of the spirit world, looking up and down at the sea of ​​the spirit world and the numerous islands.

He skillfully found the brilliant "stars" in the infinite sky again, picked out an empty star from it, and dragged the spiritual characteristics of "Wind Shark Black Blood" into it.

Finally, Carl's consciousness connected the "Stars" with the "Stars" that contained the "Fire Coral", linking the next step on the road to conquest!

A brilliant golden-red flame also burned inside the new "star", dazzling and fascinating, but the shadow contained in the flame was a young man dancing with a sword gracefully!

The sequence power is "Dueler"!

——

At the same time, many extraordinary people around the world who had just fallen asleep woke up from their dreams.

They once again came to the snowy woodland they had visited a few years ago, staring blankly at the tall trees piled up from the burnt ashes. Everything around them was solemn and silent.

However, the situation is different this time.

Not everyone is confused and passive. Over the past few years, some people have already begun to delve into various things about the spiritual world.

The extraordinary powerful people who had been preparing for several years, even causing a collective rise in the prices of extraordinary materials across the entire continent, all used the mysterious methods they had been researching for several years.

They tried every possible means to leave a mark in the spirit world that would facilitate re-entry, not wanting to miss this hard-won opportunity.
