Chapter 157 Murder of Byrne Fisher!
"I want to murder Viscount Garcia."
Byrne was silent for a long time, and finally spoke out.
The Fisher family chose to keep the fact that Chris had become stronger a secret for the time being and had not told any outsiders, in order to take advantage of the information gap to kill Viscount Garcia.
"I can't do it."
In the reception room of a manor of the Lion Family, the increasingly elderly Viscount Bester smiled from ear to ear. He savored the rich and aromatic flavor of the black tea while staring at Byrne and slowly shook his head.
"In fact, it's not just me who can't do it. Most of the people in the Lion and Eagle families can't do it either."
He paused, then explained with a laugh:
"Because we made a 'pledge' with the Lord of the Vast Storm in the Storm Church, not to kill the other party's family members and allies. In order to make us swear, the King of Rumble even sacrificed a fifth-level extraordinary material."
Of course, Byrne knew about the "pledge" in his heart.
It is a special oath to God, which must be sworn in the church to take effect. The higher the standard of the sacrifice, the stronger the effect of the oath.
Neither party who swore an oath could easily break the "oath", otherwise they would be punished by God.
"Oaths" are all time-limited and must be relatively fair to be effective. For example, a unilateral beneficial oath such as "someone promises to another person to be forever loyal and obey all orders" will not be effective.
Therefore, "oath" is often used by extraordinary nobles in various transactions, alliances and armistice agreements.
King Syat and King Rhea swore an oath of peace under the leadership of the church decades ago, so the kings of both sides did not dare to violate it easily.
The reason why the Meyer family dared to invade was because they were already in opposition to the Rhea royal family. They didn't care about the situation of the royal family, and their actions would not be judged as a breach of oath by the royal family.
Now there is only one year left before the peace agreement between Syat and Rhea expires!
However, there is actually another saying circulating, which is that the "oaths" have all become invalid, and it is very likely that people no longer need to abide by them.
But that means that the power of the gods is gone, which is undoubtedly something that people dare not even imagine, and several major churches are also doing their best to combat such rumors!
Byrne frowned, but he knew in his heart that the old fox must have something else to say.
As expected, Viscount Best continued.
"Among the extraordinary people at the qualitative transformation level of the Lion and Eagle families, the only exception is the 'Black Lion'. He has never existed in the public's sight, and he did not swear an oath at the beginning. He can do anything without scruples."
"I can let him help you, but there is one important condition."
Byrne breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it came to the stage of negotiating terms, everything would be easy to deal with.
Viscount Bester became serious and said solemnly: "Within a year, I want you to accompany me to the spirit world to find something that is extremely important to me!"
"I need you to help me open a door!"
"Okay, I promise you!"
Byrne nodded immediately and agreed without any hesitation.
No matter why Viscount Best helped him in the first place, it would be very difficult for him to repay his kindness to the Fisher family.
Moreover, after years of getting along, he had become more and more accepting of Viscount Bester, who was both his teacher and friend.
Deep down, Byrne had already decided that he could do anything for Best that would not harm the Fisher family and would not cost his own life.
Other than that, anything is fine.
"Hahahahahahaha! Great! That's great!"
Viscount Best finally burst into laughter and nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of expectation and longing, his hands slightly clenched. Even though he had a head full of white hair, he still had a desire for the future.
"Byrne, I admire you very much. It's great! All these years of training you have not been in vain, and the care that the Lion Family has given to the Fisher Family has not been in vain!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes full of desire.
Byrne suddenly felt that Viscount Best's desire was extremely inflated, even as if it was about to overflow, but it quickly disappeared, as if he had seen it wrong.
In fact, he increasingly felt that Viscount Best was very similar to his father Lucius.
Both men clearly have huge ambitions, but they pretend to be easy-going on weekdays, always hiding their true thoughts and emotions in the deepest part of their hearts.
"I will help you, Master Best."
Byrne nodded slowly, his words full of respect for the man in front of him.
"I need to repay your kindness to the Fisher family."
——
The Fisher family has always been mysterious.
Their patriarch, Byrne Fisher, not only possesses the power of a bloodline knight, but also has a talent for transformation-type spellcasting, while Ms. Irene Fisher possesses a powerful talent for healing-type spellcasting.
As for Chris Fischer, he also possesses some kind of power of a blood knight, but what kind of bloodline it is has always been unknown.
Many families will announce to the outside world what their bloodline power is, because in the long run, it is something that cannot be concealed.
But in fact, there is no real rule that a family must publicly display the power of their family bloodline.
Therefore, what kind of blood power the Fisher family possesses remains a mystery to this day.
Viscount Garcia sent people to sneak into the town of Nasir to conduct a thorough investigation. He also purchased various intelligence about the Fisher family on many occasions, striving to be adequately prepared.
However, the information about the Fisher family is always vague, especially what exactly is the blood power of their family, and no accurate information can be found.
"It's really strange. The more I investigate, the more I find that the Fisher family seems to be hiding many secrets. What are they?"
In recent years, Byrne has kept a secret whereabouts, always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and always maintaining a high level of vigilance.
Viscount Garcia also thought about raiding the town of Nasir and beheading Byrne directly, but he felt it was too dangerous. The more he investigated, the more he felt that the hidden power of the Fisher family was terrifying.
The deaths of the Meyer family members, the demise of the Son of the Abyss, and the priests of the Poseidon Cult, all three were most likely caused by the hidden power of the Fisher family.
That is to say, they possess some powerful force that can kill extraordinary people below the monarch level!
"But that kind of hidden power is not invincible. In other words, it cannot be without cost, otherwise they would not have allowed so many people to die in Nasir Town."
He guessed that the hidden power possessed by the Fisher family was a forbidden artifact with a number in the upper three digits, or even a number in the double digits.
After paying some huge price, it can burst out with huge power to kill the enemy.
Viscount Garcia finally felt that it would be best to find an opportunity to assassinate Byrne when he was alone and away from Nasir Town, because he might not always carry the forbidden object with him, and in this case, the hidden power of the Fisher family might not be able to be brought into play.
Finally one day, Viscount Garcia, who was in the hall of the mansion, suddenly learned an important piece of information.
In order to prepare for his son Darren's marriage, Byrne goes to the "Iron-Blooded" Odd family alone. He wants his son Darren to marry the youngest daughter of Viscount Odd to realize the marriage between the two families.
"Haha, as a mere baron family, they actually want to marry into the Iron Blood Family. They are really ambitious."
He sneered and said to himself:
"But if this is arranged by the Lion Family, it is not impossible to achieve. After all, the Fisher Family is an important vassal of the Lion Family, and the Iron Blood Family is an ally of the Lion Family. No, it should be said that they are more like followers."
Byrne's route to the town where the Iron Blood Family was located was very clear, and soon the people sent by Viscount Garcia figured out Byrne's specific travel time.
In order to confirm the authenticity of the information, he also specially investigated the situation of the Iron Blood Family and found that they were indeed preparing for a meeting and had obviously been notified in advance.
“It’s an important opportunity that cannot be missed.”
Decisiveness is very important on the battlefield. After thinking about it, Viscount Garcia immediately decided to ambush and kill Bayern Fischer somewhere along this route!
"He will die on the way to the Iron Blood Family. Then, we can blame the Lost Cultists for this."
The Lost Cultists are a group of extremely evil and crazy people who believe in a terrifying evil god, the Lord of Lost who symbolizes the endless end!
In recent years, the Lost Believers have been committing crimes crazily across the four eastern countries, killing many people. In one case, there was even a horrific act of sacrificing tens of thousands of people in an entire town to the evil god.
There are so many horrific legends about them that even the ten pillar families now take the rumors of lost believers very seriously.
Viscount Garcia was of course well aware that the weak Fisher family had nothing to do with the terrifyingly powerful Lost Believers, and they were not worthy of being targeted by that group of terrifying beings.
He just wanted to pin the blame for Byrne Fischer's murder on the Lost Believers.
Those lost believers are powerful and mysterious beings. Not a single one of them has been exposed for many years. They will never be found or exposed by the church at will, so the real murderer will almost never be found.
"Come on, Andrew, Gus."
Viscount Garcia changed out of his black military uniform and put on a set of equally black robes, disguised himself as the rumored lost believer, picked up the forbidden artifact "Countdown" and another forbidden artifact borrowed from Xavier.
He led two of the three remaining qualitatively transformed extraordinary people in the family to ambush Bayne Fischer, leaving only his son who had undergone a qualitative transformation of a lower level in the family.
Although it was a lion fighting a rabbit, he did not underestimate Byrne Fischer at all. Instead, he planned to make that man die 100% on the way to the Iron Blood Family!
