Chapter 194 Lillian's First Sacrifice
The Black Iron Duke of the Roman family.
He and King Syat had worked together more than a hundred years ago to build the current country. Everyone in the four eastern countries knew the reputation of the Duke of Black Iron.
As a top-level powerful monarch, the Duke of Black Iron was already famous before Siat existed. He once joined forces with King Siat to fight against a powerful monarch of Loen. Although they were defeated, they still won honor by successfully luring the enemy, escaping, and achieving major strategic goals, which was regarded as a lifelong shame by the powerful monarch.
That old man was also the beginning of the Fischer family’s entry into the aristocratic system.
Because of Lucius' heroic sacrifice, he gave the Fisher family an official admission ticket.
Byrne calmly opened the black letter, and after reading the contents, he couldn't help frowning.
He was sure that the contents of the letter were indeed from the Duke of Dark Iron, and not a forged letter by someone else.
Because there is a strong aura on the letter that is deliberately attached by a powerful monarch. It can only come from the Duke of Black Iron himself, just like pig iron, weapons, blades, and it is icy cold.
It seems that nothing in the world can soften it, and everything will be penetrated by the hard and fierce breath.
"Only a strong person at the middle level of a monarch can retain his aura for such a long time without dissipating at all..."
Byrne took a deep breath, then read the contents of the letter, with a look of great astonishment gradually emerging in his eyes.
He quickly clutched the envelope tightly and frowned.
"This matter is too serious. Perhaps we need to ask all family members to vote before we can decide..."
There was a look of disbelief on his face, but he then started to think seriously.
"Perhaps this matter does not require a vote at all, because we have to do it, but if the Fisher family follows the contents of the letter, they will take a great risk. However, although I can disobey Ariel Romen, the Fisher family cannot disobey the Duke of Black Iron..."
"Especially now that I have seen the contents of this letter, the Fisher family cannot refuse."
Byrne closed his eyes and frowned.
The Duke of Dark Iron hopes that the Fisher family can help them transport a specialty of the Lightless Sea, "Ashes of Death".
That specialty looks like black ashes, but the moment you touch it you can hear the wails of fear and despair. It comes from the corpses of the inhabitants of the Lightless Sea and is widely used in sacrificial activities of various evil cults.
Basically, all large-scale cult sacrificial rituals require the use of "ashes of death".
All Orthodox churches strictly prohibit the sale of "Ashes of Death". Anyone involved in the sale will be treated as colluding with a heretical sect, with extremely serious consequences.
“The letter just slapped me in the face, and the Fisher family had no room for rejection.”
Byrne let out a long sigh. If it weren't for the influence of the Roman family, it wouldn't be so easy for the Lion family to obtain the East Coast Province, and it wouldn't be so easy for the Fisher family to obtain the four towns.
"Since the Fisher family enjoys the protection of standing in line, there is no doubt that they will also have to bear the corresponding risks."
They have to do what the real boss tells them to do, and do it well. There is no choice!
And as long as the Fisher family did this, they would be completely and deeply bound to the Roman family in the future, just like the various tests they had been giving to the Dawnbringers.
"As for the issue of the successor to the Roman family, we must be cautious in taking sides on such matters. It would be best to find out the attitude of the Duke of Black Iron himself."
Byrne opened his eyes, his eyes full of thought. He knew very well that the consequences of taking sides would be serious, and the risks were accompanied by high profits.
"The good news is that because of Chris's existence, at least the Fisher family is now qualified to stand with the big shots. The bad news is that standing with them also means a high-risk gamble. The Fisher family, which has always been cautious, has to take risks."
The impending death of the Duke of Black Iron will undoubtedly be a top priority event that will cause turmoil in the entire Syat. The Roman family will not know how to respond at that time. Once the Roman family is caught up in internal struggles again, the consequences will be disastrous.
The attraction of this matter is definitely not small. If we speculate the maximum, it may even lead to the demise of Syat.
Byrne shook his head and finally decided to attend the sacrifice to the great Lord of the Lost tonight.
"It looks like we need to vote on the scales of faith again."
In the sacrificial hall on the second underground floor of Fisher Manor, everyone was eagerly waiting, and every member of the Dawn Cult gazed at the new high priest with respect.
Soon after Byrne arrived, the sacrifice officially began.
Lillian had rehearsed it countless times and was able to remember every step of the sacrificial ritual specified by Irene, and all of her movements were in full compliance with the rules.
What they were going to sacrifice were two top-level treasures, namely "Break" and "Pure White Gloves", to thank the great Lord of the Lost for once again bestowing a miracle.
"Great Lord of the Lost, please accept our pious sacrifice..."
Lillian closed her eyes and muttered to herself, with an undisguised look of piety on her face.
Karl stared at the new priest of the Fisher family, Byrne's daughter Lillian.
When she returned several years later, her thinking seemed to be more extreme than Irene's. Besides, Lillian and the spiritual dragon had become excellent companions.
"A spiritual dragon?"
The spiritual dragon grows very slowly. After many years, it is still a tiny "baby dragon". I am afraid that by the time Lillian's generation has passed away, it will not truly reach adulthood.
"That thing, although it's called a dragon, it's not actually a dragon."
Carl had long known that the spiritual dragon was a strange and mysterious creature.
It absorbs spiritual power to grow, but is not actually a true dragon. Just like the whales in our hometown, although they look like fish, they are not actually fish, but a kind of mammal.
"The dragon is just its simulated appearance. The liquid form is closer to its real body."
In fact, after Irene's death, she brought back a lot of spiritual power, and with the addition of two top-level mysterious treasures, Carl clearly felt that the fourth seal had loosened.
"But it still has a long way to go before it can be completely broken."
To break through each seal, the spiritual power required is much greater than the previous seal, and Carl also realized that starting from the third seal, completely breaking through the seal also requires the qualitative aspect of spiritual power.
"The Tree of Returning Souls..."
Carl gave the rune power "Tree of Soul Return" to Lillian without hesitation.
Lillian burst into tears, unable to control her emotions, as if from this moment on, it represented a heritage belonging to the priests.
Afterwards, Carl gave Lillian a new destiny.
There was no special destiny for her, so Carl began to pluck the destiny trajectory and could clearly see the strings of destiny trembling slightly.
First time dialing!
Certain causes and effects in the world have quietly changed!
A new destiny trajectory emerges.
"The Last Madman"
People with the destiny trajectory of "The Last Madman" will become more and more crazy, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and gradually become misunderstood by the world, and at the same time, they will not understand the entire world.
However, they are able to make the real world change little by little towards their own understanding, and everything will change abruptly because of what they think in their hearts, turning the virtual into the real.
"This thing is the heart..."
Carl could truly feel that this was a very powerful destiny.
However, it is extremely unstable, especially for Lillian, who is the priestess of the Fisher family. If she goes crazy, she may accidentally destroy the entire family.
"And its effect definitely has an upper limit. The benefits are not too outrageous, but the cost and risk are too high. Let's just forget it..."
He can only change the trajectory of fate a second time!
The next destiny trajectory has already appeared.
"Bone-piercing knife"
A battle-type destiny track, and those who possess this destiny track will find it easier to break through the enemy's defense when fighting.
Boring.
"It's really too ordinary, let's do it one last time!"
He was not satisfied with his luck, so he tried to adjust the trajectory of his fate for the third time, but the result was not very good either.
"anecdote"
People with the "odd stories" destiny trajectory will smell many things that ordinary people cannot discover, and many times, they will fall into special situations because of this and will encounter more dangers and opportunities.
Carl fell into silent thought.
"It would be fine if it was just an opportunity, but its host will also encounter risks. It seems that the effect of this fate trajectory is not particularly good."
Every time the trajectory of fate is adjusted, a lot of spiritual power is consumed, and Carl's spiritual power recovery speed has always been slow.
He also had to retain enough spiritual power to deal with any possible situations. In the end, he did not change the trajectory of his fate again, but instead reserved the fate of "Strange Stories" for Lillian.
As for the runes formed by the two mysterious objects, "Break" and "Pure White Gloves".
Carl thought about it for a moment, and tried to bestow the power of the "broken" rune on Darren from a long distance.
It worked.
Although the distance was too far and he could not sense the specific details of Darren's situation, perhaps because he could already touch his fate, he had a vague feeling of something strange.
So he knew that Darren Fisher was in some kind of life-or-death crisis.
"Darren Fisher, find a way to survive! I will give you some help, but whether you can survive successfully still requires your own efforts!"
He then upgraded the power of the "Broken" rune and evolved it into the spiritual rune "Destruction".
The effect of "Rupture" is to shatter all kinds of defenses and weapons at close range, while the effect of "Destruction" goes a step further and can directly destroy anything it is staring at at close to medium distances within ten meters!
