Chapter 38 Sequence “Listener”

Nasir Town.

A large number of people who had fled returned to the town one after another. Those who survived were grateful, while those who lost their loved ones were crying sadly.

This suicidal looting by the Rheans even led to the destruction of a family of knights. All the extraordinary people in their family died, and few of the rest survived.

Miraculously, all of Nada's sons survived, and the escape route of the three of them was almost the opposite of the Rhea people's search route.

Old Raymond's condition became more and more serious, and he even forgot his son's name. Xiu was helpless and finally decided to hire a servant to take care of him.

The Fisher family finally returned home. Looking at everything familiar around them, they felt as if they were in another world.

Lucius's body was found in the jungle by the Duke of Dark Iron's army and was soon brought to Nasir and returned to them. When Byrne saw his father's body, he burst into tears again.

Irene bought a piece of wasteland outside the town of Nasir and hired people to build a cemetery. Everyone watched the man's burial in silence on a gloomy day.

Byrne stopped crying and just looked quietly at his father's face as he lay sleeping.

Why is there still a smile on the man's face?

He couldn't understand his father's expression, nor did he know the man's final thoughts, but he was very clear about one thing without the other person saying it himself.

The Fisher family must move on!

It was extremely rare for Byrne to pray to the Lord of the Lost. After this rescue, Byrne's heart had become even more devout.

Great Lord of the Lost.

Please protect his soul, I know he will return to your arms.

One day, when I have fulfilled my destiny, I will go to where you are and return to peace.

May we all finally rest in peace.

——

A few days later, Byrne, who had gradually calmed down, received two more pieces of bad news.

The first bad news is that the Meyer family, who violated the peace agreement, did not receive any punishment. They produced evidence to show that they had already drawn a clear line with Burlat in advance and that it was entirely a personal act.

Although it was a bizarre reason that even children would not believe, the arbitrating Church of Redemption and the Syat royal family finally recognized their "evidence", but it is unknown what kind of deal the three parties reached behind the scenes.

The second bad news was that the people of Knight Taylor's family never returned to Nasir Town. Instead, they asked someone to bring a letter to Byrne shortly afterwards.

He was shocked after reading the letter. Robert said that the head of the Taylor Knight Family had finally successfully reached the second level of "transformation" and was about to officially become a Siat noble.

As a result, the Taylor family received a house donation and invitation from a chamber of commerce in the capital. Finally, the head of the family decided to move the entire family to the capital and completely leave Nasir Town and the East Coast.

As for when the remaining fifteen gold coins would be repaid, he only left a rather amusing sentence at the end of the letter.

“The dumbest thing a person can do is ask, ‘You clearly promised me.’”

Irene and Byrne held a family meeting of only two people in the basement to confirm three new goals for the entire Fisher family in the future.

The first thing is of utmost importance. Both of them clearly judged that the two countries would inevitably go to war in eighteen years. If the Fisher family is still so weak, they would probably have no chance of surviving the war.

In the next decade or so, they will need to seize every opportunity to enhance the overall strength of the family.

The second thing is about what was obtained from the black iron box and the Rheans.

They were two smooth bronze components. The two men took them out and pieced them together, finally forming a very strange special vessel with a "boat" shape.

Byrne looked up in books and found out what it was. It turned out to be an oil lamp from an alien continent. The two components could be put together to form the lamp body, but it still lacked the lamp cover and lamp base.

The broken bronze oil lamp does not have any power, but I wonder what kind of powerful and extraordinary power the complete oil lamp would have if all the components were collected, which would make the Meyer family never forget it.

The Lord of Loss is extremely interested in it. If the Fisher family can collect all the components, they will definitely be able to gain his great favor and gifts in the end.

They have to find a way to search for all the remaining components of this mysterious artifact.

The third and final thing is a long-term goal that the entire family may be able to achieve at some point in time.

That is, because of Lucius' death, the Fisher family is going to launch a full-scale revenge against the Meyer family, the top aristocratic family in Rhea!

But rather than saying this is a goal, it is more like the sad wish of the entire family.

The gap between the two sides was too huge, like a giant dragon in the sky and an ant crawling on the ground. If the Fisher family did not have the help of the Lord of the Lost, they would not even dare to have the obsession of revenge.

Deep in Byrne's heart, there are two things that belong to him, not to the entire family.

He wanted to ask Robert to return fifteen or even more gold coins, and one day he would find the black dragon to fulfill that man's obsession.

A few days later, servants from the Roman family arrived and presented the Fisher family with Byrne's certificate of becoming a knight and thirty gold coins that the Duke of Dark Iron had given out privately according to tradition as a "gift".

Normally, the ceremony of becoming a knight would be very complicated and grand. However, the knight class has been declining over the past hundred years, and even has no land to be granted. The Duke of Dark Iron himself does not want to come to the remote and poor Nasir.

So Byrne only got a sword made of black iron, a certificate of knighthood, a universal book of the Church of Order that the Roman family believed in, and thirty gold coins.

But from then on, at least the Fisher family had nominally become one of the forces under the Roman family, and if there was a crisis of genocide, they could apply for their protection.

Although there are hundreds of knight families loyal to the Roman family in Syat, it is still a very good choice for the Fisher family.

The situation between the two countries became increasingly tense. Before prices soared again, they did not hesitate to purchase a second-level extraordinary material "Black Snake Demon Skin". The sea merchant John also survived the escape, but two of his relatives died, and he became very sad and depressed.

A few days later, the Fisher family once again visited the Lord of the Lost, offering the second-level extraordinary material "Black Snake Demon Skin", and received another gift from the great Lord of the Lost.

With the formation of new supernatural laws, Carl developed the second step of the "Road of Divine Sacrifice", "Listener", and gave spiritual light to Irene who was kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly.

Sequence "Listener".

The phantom in the extraordinary law is a middle-aged woman who is listening calmly in the blue light.

After becoming a "Listener", one can passively hear the voices of hostile people around through the extraordinary characteristic "Listening to Malice", and automatically master two spells, namely the "Silence" to block spellcasting and vocalization, and the "Mystic Ear" to monitor others.

Irene's spiritual power more than doubled, while the improvement in her physical fitness was minimal.

Obviously, "The Listener" is a more functional sequence, and the overall sequence of "The Road to Sacrifice" lacks intuitive combat capabilities in the early stages.

"The Fisher family will always be your servants and will bring you a great revival in the end."

The girl gained new power and was extremely excited deep down. After going through all that, the entire Fisher family was even more eager for extraordinary powers.

Three weeks later.

Byrne sat in the carriage wearing a black suit, looking at the people who were seeing him off and waved with a smile.

He and his guards were going to the city, Finn, the center of the east coast, to sell the homemade powerful antidote at the most crowded place.

And Irene had just returned from a nearby town after curing a wealthy patient, and the Fisher family had to keep a core member no matter what.

When the carriage started moving slowly, Byrne smiled gently and waved goodbye to everyone.

"Don't see me off! Goodbye, we'll be back soon!"

After a while, he withdrew his hand, took a deep breath of the cold air, and very calmly took out a piece of paper and a pen from his arms. He placed the paper on his knees, thought for a long time, and finally wrote the first sentence on the paper.

"Lucius Fisher was born in 1760 of the Sun Calendar. He taught everyone in the Fisher family what wisdom, courage, and sacrifice are..."
