Chapter 205 Mother and Daughter
"Irene Fisher was born in 1786 in the solar calendar. Her love embraces the Fisher family and everyone in the world. Her piety and determination move everyone. Her words will lead us to continue on..."
In the study of the Fisher Manor mansion, Byrne took a deep breath of the cold air, his slender fingers calmly holding the pen, recording a new chapter in the Fisher family's family history.
My father, Irene, and later myself, as well as more members of the Fisher family will board it.
Byrne used to be afraid of death, but after learning that his soul would return to the Lord of the Lost, he was no longer afraid or terrified. At the same time, he gradually realized something very important.
People die twice. The first death is the death of the body and the disappearance of life breath, and the second real death is when the name is forgotten by people.
They recorded their names and existences in written form, and the descendants of the Fischer family also recorded their own existences, and so generation after generation passed on.
"After I die, there will be successors. Perhaps this is the meaning of the family's continuation."
Just then, someone knocked on the door and wanted to come in.
"Enter."
Just as Byrne finished speaking, he saw his daughter Lillian walk in.
In fact, he could now feel the huge changes in Lillian. She had changed so much after Irene left for a few years.
The girl who once wanted to please others has suddenly transformed into a very radical family priest and has become the most radical person in the entire family.
"Good morning, father."
Lillian smiled gently. In the few years since she witnessed Aunt Irene's martyrdom, she had completely grown up physically and mentally, but in front of her father Byrne, she still had the side of a daughter.
That was also what made Byrne feel relieved.
"What's wrong, Lillian?"
Lillian was silent for a while, and finally said, "I plan to go see my mother."
After hearing Margaret's name, Byrne also fell silent.
Because ever since Baron Hoffmann's accident, he could no longer face Margaret, and that complicated feeling could not be explained in a few words.
He felt sorry for Margaret, but Hoffman also felt sorry for the Fischer family, and because of the children, the two sides would never be able to break off contact.
But fortunately, his and Margaret's situation did not affect the children's feelings towards their mother at all. In fact, Darren and Margaret would often visit Margaret after they grew up, and Margaret also came to Nasir Town to visit Darren's child Felix.
"Go ahead and be nicer to her. She must miss you, Lillian."
He nodded and smiled slightly, and Lillian smiled too. She had been too busy in the past year and had never had the chance to visit her mother.
She misses her mother very much.
Byrne mentioned it casually, and said expectantly:
"In a few years, when the railway from Nasir Town to Fein City is fully built, you can even go to Fein City to see your mother in the morning, have lunch, and return to town in the evening."
Lillian was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Is a steam locomotive that fast?"
"Yes, that's true." Byrne nodded without refutation.
Lillian frowned and said worriedly:
"The power of the Reforged Church has arrived in Syat. Father, you have come into contact with them, right? Steam engines, steamships, railways, and steam locomotives are all technologies released by the Reforged Church. No matter what they are planning, they are definitely changing the world bit by bit."
"Other churches are allowing the Reforged Church to expand because of the gods..."
Byrne thought for a moment and said:
"Yes, the people of the Recasting Church are a bit strange. They not only want to change the world, but also the priests of the Recasting Church will change their own bodies and call themselves 'Recasters'..."
After saying this, Byrne fell into deep thought, recalling a priest of the Reforged Church he had met. He was tall and had replaced one of his arms with a weapon powered by steam and steel.
That has gradually deviated from the scope of human beings, and the priest who calls himself the Recaster still feels from the bottom of his heart that the degree of his own transformation is still too low.
This is still low, what about the end? Do these people want to become monsters? Byrne found it unbelievable at the time.
Although the Church of Reforging has never forced anyone to transform their bodies, their believers are repeatedly indoctrinated with the theory that flesh and blood are inferior to mechanical steel, so many people will spontaneously join the transformation.
"I think they not only want to change the world, but also want to change all of humanity. No, not to change, but to reshape..."
Byrne felt a chill deep down inside.
——
After sitting in the carriage for a long time, Lillian finally arrived in Finn City again.
The city has changed drastically. The rapidly growing population has caused residential areas to become increasingly crowded and chaotic, public security has deteriorated, crimes have been emerging one after another, and the living environment under the influence of a large number of factories is also disgustingly dirty.
A few years ago, the Lion Family was still able to spare the energy to manage this city, but now that the war has broken out, the Lion Family must fight on the front lines and cannot deal with the situation in the rear with all their strength. The population of Fein City is still growing, and the pollution brought by the factories is becoming more and more serious.
During the years that she and Aunt Irene had traveled, they had seen many things, met many people, and visited different cities and towns. Since the advent of steam engines, most of them had encountered a series of problems brought about by the population explosion, so they were not surprised by the situation in Finn City.
"Perhaps, among these poor people, we can find some believers that our Lord needs."
She squinted her eyes and stared at the city of Fein outside the carriage. The ground was dirty and muddy, hooligans were parading around the streets laughing, underage prostitutes were roughly pressed against the wall by men, groups of children had the look of thieves, and some even raised their middle fingers and spat at the carriage maliciously.
"Coo, coo, coo!"
The tiny spiritual dragon hid in Lillian's sleeve in a special liquid form. It curiously poked its head out and looked outside the carriage.
"Coo-coo-coo-coo!"
It was exciting because it's rare to see so many people!
The Fisher family's carriage drove all the way to the wealthy area of Fin City.
Lillian found that the surrounding environment changed instantly. The chaos and dirt, madness and crowds just now disappeared, as if she had come to a brand new world.
"The conflict between the poor and the rich will be as great as the difference in their living environment."
The carriage stopped next to the Hoffman family's verdant estate, and the scent of flowers and green grass was refreshing.
There were many people who saw Baron Hoffman get into trouble in the spirit world, but Viscount Best issued a gag order, so no one dared to tell the truth.
After Baron Hoffman got into trouble, the entire Hoffman family was taken over by another family member, and soon surrendered to the Lion Family because of the demise of the Eagle Family.
Of course, because of Byrne, Viscount Best did not make things difficult for them afterwards.
"Lillian?"
Margaret, who is nearly 40 years old, wore glasses and sat in a hanging chair in the small garden, smiling at her daughter who was walking towards her.
In a trance, she was slightly stunned and felt that her daughter was very similar to Irene.
Some of it seemed like an illusion, and some of it seemed like reality. Margaret didn't like Irene very much for taking away her children's right to education, but she was full of love for her own Lillian.
"Mom, it's me, I'm back."
Lillian smiled and sat next to Margaret.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of tearing. A few days ago, she was still deciding the life and death of some people, but now she was sitting next to her mother like a good daughter.
"Lillian, you are so beautiful, please don't be fooled by some men. Girls like you who are simple and have never experienced anything are the easiest to be fooled."
Margaret looked at her daughter lovingly, her face full of smiles.
simple.
Lillian was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. She was indeed the age of the girl who was deceived, but she had experienced so many things and was no longer the same.
However, in her mother's eyes, she is just an ordinary aristocratic girl who likes to play with small animals and has a pure heart. She would never guess what she really is like.
The tearing feeling became stronger. Lillian couldn't say many words. She couldn't make her mother understand her at all.
So she nodded gently and replied with a smile: "Yes, mom, don't say it! I know everything, don't worry, I won't be deceived by men!"
