Chapter 42 Dawn Orphanage

In the more than a year since Lucius' death, Byrne has often had nightmares. Sometimes he would find himself standing in a snowy woodland with blood on his face, and he felt an irrepressible sense of loneliness deep in his heart.

There were several bodies with their eyes open in the woods, Irene, Margaret, and Chris, which made Byrne feel extremely cold all over.

Behind him he could hear Lucius's questioning and disdainful voice.

"You failed to protect them, Byrne. I was wrong about you."

A huge sense of fear and guilt instantly engulfed him, and Byrne would often wake up from his dream at this time.

Death is never far away, and there are still sixteen and a half years of preparation time before the almost inevitable war between Syat and Rhea.

If nothing is done, the tragic situation that the Fisher family experienced during the war will be repeated.

The east coast is northeast of Syat. If the Rheas invade the country, they will certainly burn, kill and loot in this area. In fact, many Syat elders are deeply impressed by the cruelty and barbarity of the Rheas.

In the quiet and tidy basement, brother and sister Byrne and Irene discussed the next countermeasures.

Byrne took out a piece of paper and a pen and placed them on the table, and began to draw circles and write to indicate the current situation.

"In the upper class of the East Coast, the two people with the highest status and the strongest power are Earl Hoven, the Governor of the East Coast, and the Storm Bishop of the Storm Church."

"Both of them have already reached the strength of a lower monarch, and the big family behind them, the Hoven family and the Storm Church on the east coast, both have more than a dozen metamorphosis-level extraordinary people."

Irene nodded in agreement. Both the Governor and the Storm Bishop were in high positions and held great power. They could decide most matters with just a single word.

Byrne continued, writing and drawing:

"The next is the power of the seven Viscount families and many Orthodox Churches on the East Coast. The strongest Viscount family now is the Leon Lion Family of Best. The city of Finn is under their control, and Best himself is also a transcendent who has transformed and ascended to a higher position."

"Then there is the Eagle Family that controls three towns on the east coast. There are five Transcendents in their family, led by Viscount Xavier the Black Eagle. They are poised to challenge the authority of the Lion Family, and they have a very good relationship with the Earl Governor."

The feud between the Lion and Eagle families has been going on for several years, and the news has spread throughout the upper circles of the East Coast.

The two families initially used relatively civilized methods, but the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in the past year, even to the point of assassinating supporters of both sides.

The Eagle Family is eager to drive out the Lion Family and occupy the rapidly developing City of Fein, and their methods are becoming increasingly brutal. Count Hoven, the Governor of the East Coast, seems to be supporting this.

At this point, Byrne paused and said helplessly: "We have already taken sides because of the cooperation between the Fisher family and Mr. Jin."

"Mr. Jin has such channels and connections because Viscount Best is his brother-in-law. We are now seen as 'lion supporters' in the eyes of the upper class circles on the East Coast."

Irene also sighed and said, "When we decided to cooperate, we had no idea about the situation on the entire East Coast, otherwise we wouldn't have been so hasty."

The means of fighting between domestic nobles include assassination, but it is not so dangerous that one could die at any time, but the hidden danger does exist.

"The Fisher family has a lot of extra funds now, and our demand for extraordinary materials is not very great for the time being. It's time to buy some mysterious objects to offer as sacrifices to the great Lord of the Lost."

“Besides that, I also plan to build an orphanage to take in those orphans who are homeless in Nasir.”

Orphanage?

Byrne thought for a moment and realized that she was not being kind without any intention, so he asked Irene seriously:

"What are you going to do?"

Irene looked at the piece of paper with the division of power drawn on it and quietly told her plan:

"I will hire people to teach them knowledge, personally give them various instructions, select useful children among them and give them blood, so that they can join the Dawn team. We still have too few reliable people now."

She paused and said affirmatively: "I believe that those children who have been trained and educated since childhood will be more reliable than ordinary followers."

Byrne nodded, then folded his arms across his chest and fell silent, as if he was hesitating about something very important, and finally spoke slowly:

"I'm still studying how to strengthen the effects of the Fisher family blood."

"If blood can control extraordinary beings, we can make potions according to the potion formula and give some followers low-level sequence power."

Both of them were very clear about one thing: the ability to create extraordinary people was the Fisher family's greatest advantage.

However, when Lucius was still there, several people from the Fisher family had discussed this matter. At that time, Lucius firmly disagreed to give sequence power to people who were not related by blood.

Because the Fisher family's blood can currently only affect ordinary people and cannot affect extraordinary people. At that time, they will only create a being that they cannot control at all. If that person has the idea of ​​betrayal, everything in the family will be over.

The mottos of the Fischer family are "discretion" and "confidentiality," and they cannot rely on such illusory things as "trust between people" and "cultivating kindness" to gain each other's loyalty.

The breakthrough point of the whole thing lies in Byrne, who controls the power of the "pharmacist" sequence.

He vaguely felt that the effects of the Fisher family blood could be strengthened, and he had been doing research on blood.

Having said that, Byrne suddenly picked up the pen and drew a new circle on the paper.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that in addition to the open forces, there is also a powerful heretical force on the East Coast, the Poseidon Cult with a very ancient history. They also have metamorphic extraordinary people within their ranks."

"It is said that the Storm Church and the Sea God Cult were originally one force, but later they split apart and are extremely hostile to each other."

"Because the Poseidon Cult does not recognize the Storm Lord as their Poseidon."

Three months later, the first orphanage in Nasir was established. The new mayor came with great joy and led the local dignitaries to congratulate.

The name of the orphanage is "Dawn".

There are more than thirty orphans under the age of twelve in the entire town of Nasir who are able to join the orphanage. Some of the orphans lost their parents because of the sudden invasion of the Rheans in winter. They naturally have a good impression of the Fisher family who resisted the Rheans.

The Fisher family spent about thirty-five gold coins to build the orphanage. It cost an additional six gold coins each month to maintain the basic operation of the orphanage, and they needed to arrange for the older children to learn skills to make money.

The orphanage was spacious but dim, and the thick stone walls revealed traces of the vicissitudes of time. Irene led several caregivers here. The first batch of children had been waiting for a long time.

"Children, from today on I will be your caretaker."

Irene looked calmly at the children who were looking forward to the future but also anxiously; each pair of eyes was looking at her curiously and anxiously.

A kind of tenderness from deep within her heart gradually emerged.

But Irene also knows one thing very well: love must be differentiated.

Chris, Byrne and Darren are the most important people in his life. Apart from them, everything in his body and soul belongs to the great Lord of the Lost.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the will of the great Lord of the Lost!

He seemed to be directing her, paying attention to one of the little girls among the children, and Irene looked over.

She was a girl with light green hair and an optimistic smile that was different from the others, but her right leg had an extremely obvious and severe disability.

Is she special?
