Chapter 195 Prisoner
The town of Nasir is quiet and beautiful in the early morning. The first ray of sunlight shines through the gaps in the buildings, and the whole town is bathed in a soft glow.
With the warmth of the morning light, this increasingly prosperous port town gradually wakes up, presenting a tranquil and vibrant scene.
The servants at Fisher Manor have become busy. Each of them has his own duties, and they have to get everything done before their masters get up.
At breakfast time, a servant who was responsible for picking up letters came to the mansion and respectfully handed seven letters and a newspaper from the city of Finn to the Dawnbreaker, who was acting as the butler.
"Here are today's letters and newspapers."
The Dawnbringer nodded slightly, turned around and left quickly, then opened the letters that did not have special confidentiality marks one by one, briefly read the contents, and then asked the servants to distribute the letters to different family members.
"This letter is from Lisa, the cook, this letter is from Ms. Apu, the head maid, and this letter, um, is from me."
Only the letters from several masters of the Fischer family and the newspapers that Byrne had always requested would be delivered by him personally.
"Unfortunately, the newspapers we subscribe to are always out of date, so we can't get the latest news from all over Syat."
“It would be nice if Nasir Town had its own newspaper.”
He glanced at the newspaper, then opened the letter to Mr. Byrne and read its contents carefully. Suddenly his face changed drastically and he quickly got up and went to the master bedroom.
In front of a tall floor-length mirror, two servants skillfully put on a black tuxedo for Byrne, who was standing there. The acting butler immediately handed over the letter and said anxiously:
"You must read this letter immediately!"
What's wrong? Byrne calmly reached out to take the letter, then stared at the words, his expression gradually becoming ugly.
"Darren was captured by the Rhea people..."
Byrne's hands trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.
Deep down, he had always thought that he didn't particularly like his son Darren, but when he found out that his son had been captured by the Rheans, he was still confused for the first time.
"Darren..."
Darren could die at any time, and even if he didn't die, he would definitely be tortured by the Rhea people!
Many memories of the past with Darren came to Byrne's mind. His eyes suddenly turned red. He waved his hand to let the two servants go out, leaving only the acting butler, and then he quickly suppressed his emotions.
He tried to calm down as much as possible, frowned and asked:
"Well, when did it happen? Please explain the whole process in detail!"
The acting butler immediately replied:
"It was Arthur Meyer of the Meyer family. He attacked Darren's troops before attacking Nasir Town and captured him directly."
Byrne was silent for a while, then said:
"Can we find a way to locate Darren now? Can we find a connection with Rhea to redeem Darren?"
He knew that the possibility of redeeming Darren was very low. The Fisher family had just eliminated an important member of the Meyer family, and the hatred between the two sides had reached its peak.
However, as a father, Byrne still couldn't control his own reason and wanted to try almost every method.
The acting butler hesitated for a moment and replied:
"In fact, it's not that Rhea doesn't have connections. After all, the ten major families in the East are all entangled with each other. To put it in a broader sense, they are all relatives. It's just that the chances of redeeming Master Darren are really low..."
He was no longer in the mood to communicate, so he waved his hand and turned around and said:
"Okay, I understand. You go down first."
Byrne was alone, closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath.
"well."
The attack by the Meyer family, the departure of Irene, the mission by the Roman family, and Darren being captured, all these events made him very tired.
It was a feeling of exhaustion that came from deep within, making one feel powerless.
"I wonder what Chris will do when he comes back and finds out about Irene..."
"Darren..."
"Whether it's this matter or the question of which side the Roman family should take, we still need to vote in the family to decide."
He opened his eyes again, calmly took out a dose of alchemical medicine to calm his mind, and drank it, forcing all the fatigue in his mind to dissipate.
Then, just like every other day, he walked out of the room calmly and started dealing with the Fisher family's affairs before breakfast.
Byrne never took a day off because the Fischer family couldn't do without him.
He couldn't even skip breakfast, let alone show his fatigue in his eyes.
The nobles would eat breakfast in front of many servants, so Byrne could not show his weak side.
Because in that case, everyone in the Fisher family would immediately think, has something major happened again?
Not only him, everyone has been in a tense mood recently. He cannot put pressure on his family members anymore. It is better for him to face everything with a smile and encourage and comfort the rest of the family members.
“Hahahahahahahahaha!”
When Byrne thought of this, he suddenly couldn't stop laughing, clenched his hands tightly, and felt very ironic deep in his heart.
As the backbone of the family, he must have the mentality to face everything with ease.
——
A few days ago.
The silvery moonlight shone through the damp walls, emitting a faint and eerie glow, and the corners of the cell were filled with an unbearable musty smell.
“Ah, ahhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhhh!”
Darren's burned skin was severely red and swollen, with bubbles and even ulcers. He felt extreme pain in every inch of his skin.
The pain never stopped.
He didn't expect the pain from the burns all over his body to be so great, and he even wanted to die. However, the forced treatment by the Rheans made it impossible for Darren to die peacefully.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
Darren's appearance had become horrible, with disgusting sores all over his body. Almost no one had the courage to look at him for any longer.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a life force emerging from outside his body, gradually healing the serious injuries on his body.
"Uh, cough cough cough... cough cough..."
That was the sequence power of the old housekeeper Theo, the ability of "household management". Darren immediately understood what was going on and felt a little relieved.
The family has not given up on me! Yes, they will never give up on me, and my father will definitely not ignore me!
The abundant life force made his breathing become more stable and the pain gradually decreased, but the burn marks on his skin showed no signs of improvement.
“Hoo, hoo…”
The long-lasting pain finally came to an end. Although it was still very uncomfortable, it had been alleviated a lot, at least not to the point of being unbearable.
A huge amount of fatigue came over him instantly, and he soon felt drowsy and finally fell into a complete sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but Darren finally woke up from his coma, and then he felt severe pain all over his body, but he finally managed to endure it.
Where exactly is this place?
He looked around and found that it was very dark all around, and it was even darker outside the iron bars. He couldn't see anything, and soon realized that this was a prison cell.
Outside the cell were the sounds of many people wailing and crying, which continued to come from the darkness. There was no doubt that the cell was inside a very large prison.
A strong fear soon rose in Darren's heart, knowing how dire the situation he was in was.
“Ahhhh, ahhhhhhhh!”
The tremendous pain and fear were too much for Darren's mind to bear. He was shaking all over, almost collapsing, yelling and crying, tears streaming down his face.
Why?
Why did I become like this, why did I end up here?
Damn it! Damn it!
He was incredibly depressed and miserable, shivering in the moldy and smelly cell, his mind filled with struggle, regret and anger.
I really want to run away. Who can save me? Who can save me? Father, mother, Uncle Chris, Aunt Irene... All the people in the Meyer family deserve to die. Damn it!
"Great, great, the Lost Lord, the Lost Lord..."
He tremblingly muttered the name of the Lost Lord, as if the pain in his body and the despair in his heart could be alleviated as long as he recited this name.
I don’t know how long I recited, but suddenly, the cell door opened.
Several Rhea doctors came in to check on him and were surprised to find that Darren's injuries had been greatly alleviated and that he would not be in any serious condition even without their further treatment.
"It seems that he is a superhuman who is good at recovery. We must be careful and don't let him have a chance to escape."
Darren was soon put into many shackles by several guards who came in. They were specially made alchemical tools specifically used to suppress bloodline power and spellcasting talent.
Any extraordinary person below the qualitative change level will be no different from an ordinary person as long as they wear special alchemical shackles.
"Ah! Ahhh! Go away, don't, don't touch me!"
Darren screamed loudly in pain, but those people didn't care about his feelings at all. They were very rude and vicious, and finally left him disgusting paste as food.
"You bastard Syat, this is what you deserve, bah! Just rot in your cell!"
He soon realized that the Rheans' only concern was to ensure their own survival.
After those people left, Darren reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of the disgusting porridge. It was as disgusting as cow dung. He subconsciously spit it out, then ate a few more mouthfuls. Finally, he couldn't help crying.
The fear, grievance, pain, and despair in his heart were all mixed together. He rolled on the ground and cried for a long time and couldn't stop.
“Woo, woo, woo…”
At this moment, a strange black light appeared in his eyes.
Darren, who was crying bitterly, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized with joy what it was. It was the gift from the great Lord of the Lost, the power of the spirit rune!
"destroy"?
