Chapter 279: A Wise Man Does Not Fall in Love

Fisher Estate.

Kano reached out to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside calmly. A young girl was holding a cat in a rocking chair and talking quietly with her mother Vanessa.

Vanessa, who already had a few strands of gray hair, smiled and nodded continuously.

She seemed to like the girl very much.

Perhaps, the mother also felt that the girl was a good match for her, Kano thought, it was obvious that the mother and father were not a good match.

Theo, who was old but still strong and healthy, looked calm. He stood behind Kano and said calmly:

"Master Kano, let me introduce you."

"This Miss Sunny is a girl from the Fussack family. She likes painting and cooking. Her uncle is Bishop Zain. Lord Byrne and your mother hope that you can go and see her..."

He paused and continued, "You have to at least show up. Otherwise, it would be very rude."

Kano shook his head slowly, his tone very firm.

"I have no interest in Miss Sunny. Sorry, Mr. Theo, I don't want to get engaged to a stranger. Let me talk to my mother about this matter..."

Upon hearing this, Theo fell silent.

Kano continued calmly, "Thank you for the hard work of that girl. She actually came to Nasir in person, and the journey was so long."

Theo suddenly spoke in an elder's tone, frowning and said, "After all, how do you view marriage? After all, both Master Kano and Miss Christine are already quite old."

"As an extraordinary noble, marriage is something that cannot be avoided."

Kano smiled very gently, turned around, looked at the white-haired Tio, and said patiently:

"Mr. Theo, you know, Uncle Byrne said that the final decision of marriage is ultimately my freedom."

He pointed to the ceiling and said silently, "And if someone like me is restrained, I may never be able to step onto a higher level. That would be the biggest regret of the Fisher family."

“…”

Theo fell silent. Master Kano gave a very sufficient reason, because nothing was more important than reaching a higher level. That was the consensus of everyone in the Fisher family.

However, he still hoped that Kano and Christine, the twins, could have children as soon as possible. Every offspring was important to the Fisher family.

According to Lillian's examination, although Christine's legs were withered, she was still able to bear children.

But she also repeatedly put off getting married.

Kano suddenly asked, "By the way, how old is she?"

Theo thought he was interested and immediately replied:

"Nineteen."

Kano nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Isn't Felix eighteen years old? I feel that the two of them might be a good match."

"Why not let him marry the Fessack family on my behalf? Hahahaha, that guy will definitely not refuse!"

Theo was completely stunned. She didn't expect that Kano actually wanted his nephew to take the blame!

This guy!

Kano, with a smile on his face, knew very well that Felix was completely different from himself. He was a serious guy with a strong self-esteem.

Tio took a deep breath, controlled her temper, and asked, "Now that things have come to this, there is something I want to ask you, Master Kano."

"Do you want to ask about Sang Bei'er?" Kano predicted in advance.

Theo said meaningfully: "Yes, is she your servant, your lover, or the one you want to marry?"

Kano replied: "That kind of thing is not important. Right now, she and I get along well. Isn't that enough? But we didn't have any sexual relations."

Theo emphasized again: "Excuse me, Master Kano, as a direct descendant of the Fisher family, you cannot marry an ordinary person no matter what!"

Kano still showed no impatience, but just laughed: "Hahahahaha! It's really funny, Mr. Tio, it only took the Fisher family a few decades to climb from ordinary people to the current position. Do you think you can completely distinguish yourself from ordinary people?"

"My mother was just an ordinary person at first."

Theo was silent for a while.

"It's not like that, it's for the benefit of the family."

"The interests of the family..."

Kano muttered to himself, thought, and sighed. He didn't like things that were too troublesome.

But how can we not solve various problems while living in this world?

Kano left the corridor and came to his room, and the worried Sang Beier had been waiting there. She was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Master Kano, are you getting married?"

Kano shook his head, took out the liquor he had hidden under his bed, and started drinking.

"No, not yet."

Sanbel breathed a sigh of relief and sat on Kano's bed, but then she became nervous again, clenched her hands, and felt very insecure deep down.

Finally, she plucked up the courage and asked the most important question again!

"Master... Kano! Why have you never accepted me? Do you really hate me? After so many years, I must figure this out. Answer me!"

Then she saw the look in Kano's eyes when he looked at her. It was a very complicated look, as if he had thought a lot in an instant.

"That's not the case, Sang Bei'er. I just don't like being restrained. Maybe that's my biggest flaw."

He took another sip of wine, took a deep breath, and said sincerely: "For me, establishing an intimate relationship is actually a curse. Love is the easiest way to fall into the abyss."

"Just maintaining a relationship where both people are happy may be a relief for both of them."

Sang Bei'er suddenly understood.

Master Kano's heart is like a bird, flying back and forth in the sky and refusing to land.

"Then what am I?"

She suddenly felt angrier than ever before, and her whole body couldn't help shaking.

"Kano, you absolutely don't want to give me the things I've been looking forward to, right?"

"It's impossible to be your lover, right? Because you don't want any responsibilities, no intimacy? You don't need all those worldly rules and regulations, because you regard them as a curse!"

"You are a philosopher with wild imaginations, and I am a mediocre and pitiful person, so I can't understand you. I deserve to be sentimental, right? I am just a part of your 'happy life', that's all?"

Kano was silent for a long time.

To be fair, he really didn't want to respond to Sang Bei'er.

At the beginning, Sang Bei'er approached him only for pure benefit. At that time, he felt at ease and thought that as long as they were comfortable getting along, happiness was the most important thing.

But after several years of companionship, the feelings and relationship between the two are no longer the same as before.

Kano looked at Sang Bei'er, the girl who had been with him for several years and had truly fallen in love with him.

Yes, it's different from the past.

Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and held Sang Bei'er, who was almost crying, and some knot in his heart was completely untied.

Sang Bei'er was stunned. It was the first time that Kano took the initiative to hold her hand.

The man looked at the girl calmly and continued:

"I suddenly realized that the 'curse' has already been formed in every aspect of my life. I don't need to care about it anymore. Sang Bei'er, forgive me for not noticing this."

Kano realized that he had completely mastered the power of the third-level "Prophet".

I originally thought that my choice would make it difficult to make further progress on the path to enlightenment.

Is it true freedom that comes from not resisting?

He couldn't help but think of the name of the fourth step on the path to revelation.

"The Unpredictable Warlock"

——

A new naval war has finally begun.

After many years, the party that took the initiative to initiate the war has become the Syat people, and the leader is the Fisher family.

Today, Chris has been named Count Fisher by King Syat, and the four towns in the East Coast Province rightfully belong to the Fisher family.

In fact, the entire East Coast Province is already under the actual control of the Fisher family.

But this was not enough. The Fischer family, actively seeking expansion, began to seek overseas territories.

In any case, doing certain things on the mainland always carries the risk of being discovered, unlike on an isolated island where even if they do something outrageous it would be difficult to be detected.

The Fisher family covets overseas lands and a certain treasure that the Lost Lord has long desired.

The White Sea is very large, and what the Fisher family wants to take over is only the territory occupied by the Poseidon Cult.

And they also knew one thing: in recent years, the Poseidon Cult had suffered heavy losses again and was almost on the verge of collapse and dissolution.

If you don't take advantage of a neighbor who is a soft persimmon like this, when will you show your power again?

However, before destroying the Poseidon Cult, the Fisher family must resolve several important issues.

At this moment, a steamship was floating on the sea.

Darren stood calmly on the boat, staring at the sky for a long time, and suddenly spoke excitedly.

“Here it comes!”

A black dot appeared in the sky, and the crew members noticed that it was actually a male flying feather man with wings on his back!

Everyone was very surprised to see the Feiyu people. After all, they were an ethnic group that existed east of the White Sea and had never appeared on the continent of Oden.

At least some of the older, more experienced sailors had actually seen them with their own eyes.

Before the war started again, the Fisher family decided to win over the enemies of the Poseidon Cult in order to completely resolve the problems in the White Sea in one war.

The Feather Man's wings kept flapping. He seemed to be resistant to the billowing smoke of the steamship. He finally landed on the ship and stared at Darren.

He asked calmly, but the words he used were difficult and he stumbled:

"You, are, the Siat people?"

"Yes, we want to form an alliance!"

After Darren answered immediately, Feiyuren asked again:

"So you are going to destroy the Poseidon Cult?"

"Indeed, but we need your help to find a way to force them out."

"Hmm..." Feiyuren nodded and fell into thought.

Darren raised a finger and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey, those bastards always hide in the water and often don't come out when they can't win, so the various forces have never been able to eliminate them. You are also troubled by this, right?"

"Yes." Feiyuren nodded repeatedly.

Everyone knows that the hard power of the Poseidon Cult is undoubtedly the weakest compared with the forces of Syat and the Flying Feather People.

However, they are allies with the sea tribe, so if they cannot defeat them, they can hide in the depths of the sea, leaving the enemy who wants to pursue them helpless.

Darren's face was full of smiles, but there was a terrible hostility in his eyes.

"In fact, it is unrealistic and unnecessary to kill all the Poseidon Cult members."

"We just need to find a way to completely eliminate their leader, the Sky Blue High Priest. The rest of them are just a pile of loose sand, and sooner or later they will be unable to resist."

"This guy must die!"

He paused, clapped his hands and said, "There is no doubt that the Siat people need your cooperation to lure out the Sky Blue High Priest."

Feiyuren fell into deep thought and finally nodded.

"good."
