Chapter 102 Harvest and Sacrifice
When the Storm Priest arrived, his old, turbid eyes were filled with disbelief.
"You just lost seven guards, and then you killed this extraordinary person who reached the second level? Moreover, you said that Baron Byrne is not in Nasir at the moment?"
The people who came to support gathered outside Fisher Manor and looked at each other in confusion at the old man's body.
Irene nodded and responded very calmly: "Indeed, he is probably the type of person who lacks combat experience and has bad luck."
What happened, how did they do it?
The old priest was extremely shocked. He was not actually very surprised that the Fisher family could deal with a spellcaster at a transformed level.
But they were quite surprised that they could easily deal with a metamorphic spellcaster who came for a night attack.
Oh, qualitative change. I must get used to the reformists’ statements in the future.
Allen and Knight Vaner looked at each other, and were both surprised that the Fisher family was now stronger than it seemed.
They were very clear about one thing: there was a huge difference between extraordinary people in battles with or without preparation, and the advantage of taking the initiative was enormous.
Theoretically, it is possible that the Fisher family would be wiped out by a sudden attack by a metamorphic supernatural being. However, the result was that the powerful cultist was easily killed by Fisher.
"Mr. Byrne is really not in Nasir?" The old priest couldn't help but confirm this matter again and again. If Baron Byrne was also here, everything would make perfect sense.
"No." Irene shook her head. There was no need to hide anything at this point.
"Uh, okay, I understand, Ms. Irene. I express my condolences to the victims of this incident. The power of the Storm Lord will avenge them sooner or later."
The old priest nodded and spoke a set of official words, but deep down he became more wary of the Fisher family. Then he said:
"Then, I will report the whole incident as soon as possible. The assistant priest may come to Nasir again at that time."
Irene thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, Byrne should be back soon by then, and they will be more familiar with each other."
Every time the assistant priest of Bishop Storm, Priest Zain, came to Nasir Town, the person the Fisher family contacted with him was Byrne instead of Irene.
Therefore, if the Fisher family were to receive him again, it would be best to let Byrne be in charge.
The Fisher family reaped great rewards from successfully killing the cultists of Poseidon who had reached the corrupted level.
They obtained a mysterious treasure of treasure level, a mysterious collection of treasure level, and a magical beast with two heads that was shaped like a turtle.
Due to the death of the summoner, the summoned creature did not return to its original habitat normally, but continued to stay on the east coast.
It was a magical beast that had almost no mobility, but its attack and defense were much stronger than the original upper-level bloodline knight.
Although it is still a long way from becoming a metamorphic Bloodline Knight, the most important thing is that this monster has a very docile temperament. It will be obedient as long as it is given meat to eat, and can be raised in the family's pond.
Although no one knows what species the "two-headed turtle" is, I think Byrne will be able to tell its name when he comes back.
In addition, the first of the two mysterious items obtained was a mysterious item that looked like a silver brooch with a silver lightning symbol on the back.
"Expel Lightning", it can automatically detect targets with murderous intent and threats within a radius of ten meters, and then burst out lightning to directly destroy the opponent.
However, after each extraordinary effect takes effect, it will take thirty seconds before taking effect again.
This is a mysterious and rare treasure, and its value is quite high.
Irene decided to dedicate it to the great Lord of the Lost. He had issued an oracle saying that mysterious objects of the collection level were no longer needed, but mysterious objects of the treasure level were still very suitable as sacrifices.
As for the second mysterious object, "Evil Wood", it looks like a black short staff and its spiritual power is only at the level of the collection.
It is a weapon suitable for close to medium range combat, capable of releasing a large amount of black poisonous fog that is lethal to the target, while the person holding the short staff is immune to the poison in the black fog.
If Archibald had rashly approached the old man pretending to be dead, he would have been attacked by it!
Since there was no need to sacrifice any more mysterious objects of collection level, Irene thought about it and finally decided to assign this mysterious object to Vanessa.
She said calmly to the delighted Vanessa:
"Vanessa, you performed very well. You didn't stay in the manor all the time. Instead, you went to cooperate with Chris and Archibald to behead the enemy."
"If it weren't for your help, Chris wouldn't have been able to successfully interrupt him before he summoned again, and the subsequent situation might not have been so smooth."
Vanessa was very happy, and deep down in her heart she also secretly understood something.
Power and status come from strength. I didn’t dare to think about it before, but now I would like to receive more gifts from the Lord of the Lost.
Perhaps, I can also possess power equivalent to the metamorphic level.
She just felt suddenly enlightened. Yes, the dean of the Fisher family and Lord Byrne were just ordinary people at the beginning!
They started out as ordinary people and were able to achieve what they have today. I am even lucky enough to have the talent of a spellcaster, so I may have the opportunity to master even more powerful powers!
If one could really reach that level, even if one's cursed body was disabled and one had no family of one's own, one would still be fully qualified to stand with him.
Vanessa stole a glance at Chris, who was standing silently in the corner.
She was soon surprised to find that Chris was also staring at her expressionlessly. Her face turned red instantly and she didn't dare to look over there anymore.
Irene silently watched the flirting between the boy and girl, but didn't say much.
Although both of them thought they had hidden it well, as an elder, she already knew what Chris and Vanessa were thinking.
Vanessa's idea was correct. As long as she had enough power, the Fisher family would be willing to accept her as Chris's wife.
If Vanessa could never reach that level, Irene hoped that Chris could marry the daughter of a viscount family to bring more resources and better bloodline into the family.
When Chris breaks through to the third level, he will be qualified to marry into the Viscount family.
Byrne is the head of the Fisher family, while Irene is the only priest of the Order of Dawn, and her actual status is even higher than Byrne.
She led several core members to the basement, and everyone knelt in front of the holy object. Then Irene respectfully handed over the "Lightning Expelling" to start a new sacrifice.
Carl gazed calmly at the new food.
It was a mysterious treasure-level item, and the spiritual power it possessed was even greater than those treasure-level mysterious treasures that had been absorbed before. Even among the treasure-level items, it was considered very good.
Now he can be sure of one thing, that is, the transparent bottle is at least a mysterious object of taboo level.
"Sure enough, the mysterious treasure of the treasure level has a taste. This time the taste is like beef soup. Not only did it completely replenish the spiritual power consumed by the mind exchange just now, but I also gained more."
The signs of the third seal loosening are more obvious!
After being completely devoured, "Lightning Expelling" turned into a silver-white rune in the shape of lightning.
Carl fell into deep thought, pondering a very critical decision.
Should it be disassembled into rune essence as nourishment for the growth of other runes, or should the activation authority be directly granted to Darren who still has no runes?
If it is broken down into its rune essence, there is no way to directly evolve any of the current runes.
Because "Transcendence" and "Iron Wall" are already Spirit Runes, there is a great demand for them to evolve to the next stage, and because the foundation of "Healing" is too strong, there is a considerable demand simply to evolve to the Spirit Rune stage.
But giving it to Darren is of no use at the moment, as he is only seven years old.
After thinking it over, Carl decided to break the lightning rune into rune essences one by one. At the same time, he poured all the rune essences that he had broken out of the collection-level magic objects he had obtained over the years into the "healing" rune.
The progress bar for its evolution into a Spirit Rune quickly took a big step forward.
Originally, it took the rune essence of thirty ordinary runes to evolve the "healing" rune into a spiritual rune, but now it only requires fifteen.
"At least it's a visible pie, and it's the most likely result to be achieved in the next few years. I just don't know what kind of power the 'treatment' will become after it evolves."
Carl soon saw that the members of the Fisher family began to review the battle as usual, summarizing the mistakes and experiences in the battle, and Irene also asked Vanessa to write them down.
One good habit that Byrne brought to the Fischer family was that everyone valued experience and review. After every training exercise and actual combat, they would collectively think about how they could do better next time.
Even though the results this time were extremely promising, the Fisher family still did not become complacent.
The Fisher family has made some progress today. Although it is still extremely weak and treads on thin ice, they at least have the prototype of a family that can become more powerful.
What surprised Carl was that Eric, who was not very talkative and somewhat reluctant to communicate with others, could actually talk nonstop during the review phase.
"I think Fisher's biggest advantage is that we can get intelligence about the enemy in advance. This time we knew that the enemy was a summoning type spellcaster, so we decided to use the decapitation tactic immediately."
"Also, we can use the Mystic Ear Technique and tracking senses to constantly lock onto the other party's position, while the other party is completely unable to grasp or even know of Master Chris's existence."
"Although each of us is far less powerful than that bull-headed monster, we can use ordinary people to delay it and then gather our strength to attack the enemy's key weak points."
Everyone agreed with Eric's point of view. The results of this battle were almost perfect. It was completely unlike the incident with the Son of the Abyss, where the rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by the opponent's extraordinary people.
The most important point is that they were well prepared in advance and had already secured a 50% chance of winning before the battle actually began.
If it was not a positional defense battle, but a sudden ambushes in an unfamiliar place, the members of the Fisher family would have most likely been wiped out by the enemy.
Archibald suddenly lowered his head and said:
"In the past few years, I have always complained in my heart that Mr. Byrne was too strict when training us, and his subsequent reviews were simply crazy. Now I understand that I was wrong."
A few days later, Byrne and Theo returned.
After he heard the whole story, his expression changed drastically.
"So who leaked my whereabouts?"
