Chapter 124 Chris's Wedding
Byrne reached a deal with the Emerald Elf March on behalf of the Fisher family. Afterwards, he returned to Fisher Manor with the dragon egg and Chris with mixed feelings.
They immediately found Irene, and Byrne told her the whole story in detail.
The more Irene listened, the more surprised she was. Whether it was Baron Leander's obsession and madness, the mysterious messages, or the final part about the Emerald Elf transaction, it all made her feel incredible.
After listening to it, she couldn't help but raise many questions:
"What's the matter with that Emerald Fairy? Byrne, I remember you said you saw her when you were a teenager. Has this alien race been lurking on the East Coast for so many years? Is their purpose to get the so-called sacred Emerald Fairy object?"
"What is the holy object 'New Green Star' that she asked us to find? As for the Star Embracing Society mentioned by the Emerald Fairy, is it a secret organization that worships evil gods?"
Faced with a series of questions, Byrne could only shake his head and said calmly:
"I am not very clear about the existence of the holy object 'New Green Star' or the specific information of the Star Embracing Society. Perhaps I can ask those people at the Alchemy Council."
He paused, thought for a moment, and continued.
"As for that elf, I feel that she is completely different from the 'peace-loving and weak race' described in the book. In fact, this 'March Lady' gives me a feeling similar to that of a mercenary."
When Byrne said this, he couldn't help but think of his father's face, and finally understood at this moment what kind of temperament that was.
To be precise, the characteristic of that kind of person is "lack of awe for everything in the world, and only belief in the power in their hands"!
Even the father needs family blood relatives to relieve his loneliness, but the emerald elf is more like a cruel and cold lone wolf. He does not trust anyone at all and does not intend to rely on anyone. He lives simply for himself.
After hearing this, Irene could only sigh and said, "I see. We still have too little information."
We should just put aside the unsolved problems for the time being. Irene stared at the dazzling crystal dragon egg and was very surprised. She became fascinated by it and thought it was really beautiful.
And it looks like it’s worth the money!
"It looks great. If we sell this crystal dragon egg, how much can we get for it? Maybe we can use it to exchange for resources from various mysterious realms?"
Byrne was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that Irene would have such an idea. He immediately said, "In fact, I think it would be better to let the family train it and let it grow up gradually. In the future, we will have a very powerful dragon. If we sell it directly, it will be very cost-effective."
Chris suddenly asked, "Can't we eat it?"
Irene shook her head, looked at Byrne, and calmly stated her reasons.
"I still think it's better to sell it, such as selling it to Viscount Best or the Alchemy Council you joined."
"Even if we raise it, we can't be sure it will consider us as family. Moreover, I know that dragons grow very slowly, and the future of harvest is too long..."
She wanted to say that her life span was limited and she would definitely not see the day when it grew into a giant dragon, but after a pause she didn't say it.
Byrne still shook his head, extremely opposed to Irene's idea, frowned and explained:
"I still suggest raising it. In fact, most dragons are very sentimental about raising their own lives, so the situation you mentioned will basically not happen."
"And this dragon egg is very special. I have read books about mysterious creatures, but none of them have ever mentioned crystal dragon eggs. Perhaps its appearance is a great opportunity that the Fisher family has not encountered in many years!"
Chris suddenly said, "Eat."
While everyone was arguing, Carl already felt a strange attraction in the transparent bottle on the altar.
Huh, that's strange.
He realized that some kind of unformed life in the dragon egg actually contained considerable spiritual power, but it was still far from being formed and the spiritual power it possessed was still growing.
In order to raise the spiritual power of the life in the crystal dragon egg to its peak, it must be born and grow to its peak. At that time, it will be full of temptation for Carl.
interesting.
"What kind of creature is inside this crystal dragon egg that Byrne brought from the spirit world? Its species is not an ordinary dragon at all. Perhaps it is just another mysterious creature similar to a dragon."
He found it very interesting and wanted to witness the moment when that life grew to its fullest, so he decided to give orders to Irene through telepathic communication.
Carl thought of a better way of saying it and conveyed it.
[Let it grow until it blocks out the sun and the sky, and is large enough to devour everything.]
The people in the basement were finally planning to use the scales of faith to vote on how to deal with the crystal dragon egg. Suddenly, Irene's expression changed.
She knelt on the ground without hesitation, nodded, and muttered to herself for a long time.
"I understand, my great Lord!"
Byrne and Chris were both stunned, and soon realized what had happened.
It is the great Lord of the Lost who has sent down the oracle!
Irene finally stood up slowly and said seriously: "The great Lord of the Lost has sent down an oracle. The Fisher family must make it born and grow until it can cover the sky and the sun, and even devour everything!"
She sighed and apologized sincerely: "Byrne, you are right, I almost made a big mistake."
At this point, no one had any more arguments, and Chris looked very disappointed.
The disappearance of Baron Leander did not cause much trouble in the East Coast Province.
Many people speculated that he was kidnapped and killed by the Poseidon Cult, while others speculated that it was the Lost Believers who did it. In a sense, the latter guess was correct.
One thing that surprised Byrne was that Assistant Priest Zain did not come to investigate.
It seemed that the Storm Church no longer cared much about this kind of thing, or perhaps because they were too busy internally. The last people they sent to investigate were just a few low-level priests whom Byrne didn't even know.
“It’s bad. The current situation is that even if there are real nobles missing or killed, the Storm Church doesn’t care much anymore… Last time when the Case family was killed, Zain came to the scene in person very quickly.”
His heart sank when he thought of this.
The order of the East Coast Province is like a thin piece of paper. In fact, it only needs one final poke from external force, and the seemingly stable social order will collapse as a whole.
The Leander family has only one extraordinary person, Baron Leander, who has reached the level of qualitative transformation.
After he disappeared for a while, the family's land was quickly occupied by the surrounding viscount families, who were their original patrons.
This time, the Fisher family chose to remain silent and not fight for territory. The hostility with the Garcia family was already a foregone conclusion, and the Case family's territory had to be taken over. It was not a good thing to create a new enemy again.
Moreover, the "Iron-blooded" Ode family that invaded the territory of the Leander family is actually a long-term ally of the Lion family. If the Fisher family wants to fight for it, it will be difficult to get the support of the Lion family.
It was precisely because the Leander family was protected by the "Iron-Blooded" Ode family and was considered a marginal member of the Lion family's circle of allies that Leander asked Byrne to find Viscount Best.
Three months later.
A wedding that shocked everyone in Nasir Town quietly unfolded.
To many people's disbelief, Master Chris of the Fisher family and the future housekeeper, Ms. Vanessa, suddenly got married.
"Do you really think that Ms. Vanessa is worthy of Master Chris?"
Many people in the town were puzzled.
"I heard that several nearby families have proposed marriage proposals. Even Viscount Best wanted Master Chris to marry one of his nieces, but Mr. Byrne rejected it."
"Although Ms. Vanessa is a nice person, she is really lucky to marry Master Chris!"
The rumor that Byrne boldly rejected the Lion family's marriage request is actually true.
He almost knelt down to Colonel Abel who came to propose marriage. When the other party came, he never expected that the Fisher family would reject them!
It was not until Byrne and Lieutenant Colonel Abel assured him that the next head of the Fisher family would definitely marry into the Lion family that Lieutenant Colonel Abel calmed down when he left.
Both Byrne and Irene knew one thing very well.
Since Chris has decided on Vanessa, he will not change his mind, and Vanessa is not the kind of girl who would willingly be a lover.
Moreover, Byrne didn't really want the Fisher family to marry the Lion family right away.
Because the current status gap between the two sides is so huge, if the person who married from the Lion Family wants to have in-depth contact with their internal organization, it will be difficult for the Fisher Family to deal with it.
Due to Margaret's incident, the Hoffmann family now has an ambiguous attitude towards the Fischer family, and Byrne has become extremely cautious about family marriages.
As for who the next head of the Fischer family will be and whether a marriage will really take place, these can all be discussed again at that time. At least let's just muddle through it for now.
At the wedding, Vanessa looked extremely happy, and Chris also smiled, which was a rare occurrence for him.
"Thanks."
They were all grateful to Byrne and Irene for their permission.
The Fisher family invited the upper circles of the Four Towns to attend the wedding. Except for the Garcia family, the remaining three baron families and two viscount families in the Four Towns all sent family members.
The Lion family also sent an envoy to attend the wedding, expressing that their family did not mind Fisher's refusal to marry.
Zain, the assistant priest to the bishop of the Storm Church, had promised to come, but suddenly did not come in the end. Afterwards, he said that there were important internal issues to be resolved.
A few days after the wedding, Byrne, who was deconstructing a potion in the alchemy workshop, heard the servants report that his son Darren was in a coma!
"What happened?" He was extremely nervous and surprised. He rushed to Darren's room immediately and soon saw his unconscious son on the bed and the people surrounding him.
Irene calmly asked everyone to leave and said calmly, "You guys should leave for a while. I have something to talk to Byrne alone."
