Chapter 358 Split Blade
"Please smile more, Sir Darren."
In the courtyard of the Fischer family manor, the sun shines gently on every inch of land, covering the decades-old building with a layer of golden veil.
It is surrounded by lush trees, with dappled light and shadows occasionally shining through the green leaves.
"Everyone stand still, we're about to start filming!"
A group of people were gathered in the yard. They were wearing various clothes and their faces were filled with excitement and joy.
Because they bought the latest silver plate camera from the Lorne people, the younger generations of the Fisher family pestered their elders to take pictures.
A Dawnbreaker who had already embarked on the path of devotion, now stood opposite the center of the crowd as a photographer, his eyes focused, capturing the light with the latest daguerreotype camera.
He squatted down to find the best angle until everyone's faces were filled with expressions of satisfaction and happiness.
"Okay! I took the photo!"
As the sun sets, the sky is gradually dyed with orange-red afterglow, and the yard of Fischer Manor is covered with a layer of dreamy colors.
“Filming is finished!”
The smile on Darren's face quickly faded.
He nodded slightly to Vanessa, who left with the Fisher family's little ones.
Darren is now a middle-aged man in his fifties. His hair is no longer as thick and black as when he was young. It is mixed with some silver strands. His facial features show traces of time, and there are a few imperceptible fine lines at the corners of his eyes.
But these changes of aging did not diminish his charm, but instead added a new and profound temperament.
Many people said that he had become like his father, but Darren knew very well that the "malice" deep in his heart had never changed.
I am different from my father, he is really a good man.
Darren shook his head slowly.
"Lillian, it would be great if you could be here too..."
The most important sister was lying weakly in bed and was afraid that she would die soon. Darren had not been happy in the past few years.
Although Lillian's "Soul-Returning Tree" can heal all diseases and injuries.
But we are still powerless to stop the passing of life.
The moment the Silent Singer arrived, it brought great changes to the Fisher family.
A lot has happened in ten years.
Christine gave birth to two more children, Art, now seven, and Delia, five.
The magical thing is that the two children born after the birth of "Daughter of Devil" Hecate did not have any disabilities and were completely like normal people.
Vanessa and Chris were both relieved by this.
Darren's son Felix and Cano have been missing for ten years. The Fischer family still doesn't know where Felix and Cano went.
For a full ten years, Helen never got married and never fell in love with anyone.
She said she couldn't imagine marrying someone she didn't love, and she couldn't imagine herself falling in love with someone of the opposite sex in the real world.
Helen always said that she could see the lives in the spiritual world and felt that they understood her better and were more able to accept her.
Her symptoms became more frequent. When she was in a high mood, she was very excited and talkative. But when she was depressed, she would hide in a corner where no one knew her, hoping that no one would find her.
Sometimes, people would see Helen mumbling to herself in the air, and it was unclear whether she was really communicating with the spiritual world or if it was a disease.
However, she always refused Lillian's treatment, because only in this state could Helen become a genius on the road to love.
“Perhaps the genius of the road to love must be a madman.”
In the past ten years, Helen has completely mastered the sequence power of "Painter" and has the opportunity to embark on the fourth level of the road to love, "Treasure Appraiser".
Unfortunately, there was no great Lord of the Lost to light up the initial steps.
So she never had the chance to become a treasure appraiser.
Darren shook his head.
In fact, both himself, Yag, and Tio have recently completed the complete control of the power of the fourth-level sequence.
As long as the three of them complete the ceremony, they can be promoted to the fifth level!
However, without the great Lord of the Lost, the fifth step would not exist...
Although Theo's talent in sequence power is not high, his astonishingly long lifespan can be regarded as a powerful talent in a sense!
The old butler is now over 90 years old. Although his physical fitness has obviously declined and he can only exert about half of the physical fitness given by the sequence power, he can still run, jump and even participate in battles.
Darren, who is in his fifties, also sees it clearly. If he does not break through to the fifth level, his physical fitness will continue to decline after the age of sixty, but his spiritual power will not be affected by aging.
In fact, the biggest impact that the Fisher family has suffered in the past ten years is that the great Lord of the Lost has never given any response!
No more oracles will be sent down!
The frail and old Lillian lying on the bed often said that it was He who destroyed the Singer of Tranquility who attempted to destroy the world, so the great Lord of the Lost fell into a short sleep after saving the world and would soon wake up.
She also said that everyone should firmly believe in the great Lost Lord, who would still protect the fate of the Fisher family even if he was temporarily asleep.
Darren clenched his palms, raised his head to look at the sky, and muttered to himself.
"Lord of the Lost, the destination of our souls..."
"Please wake up soon."
At this moment, two people walked in from outside the door.
They were a thin old man with an owl-like face and a silver-haired girl.
Darren was immediately shocked. There were all kinds of warning measures and secret guards outside Fisher Manor, but someone could come to him without anyone noticing!
He noticed that the silver-haired girl seemed to be a half-orc and had some hair on her hands.
"Excuse me, is this Fisher Manor?"
The old man spoke slowly, his voice was low but very powerful, as if he was a man who had gone through countless disasters and finally survived.
Darren narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously:
"Who are you?"
Is he a powerful monarch?
The silver-haired girl had no expression on her face, like an exquisite doll, and the old man nodded slightly and said calmly: "Indeed, I should have introduced myself first. Sorry, I lost my manners."
"I am from the Split Blade. Most of them call me 'Black Falcon'."
Darren's face changed.
He had never heard of the Black Falcon but knew of the Split Blade, which was one of the subordinate organizations of the Tree of Essence, the top secret organization in the world of Krad.
The powerful "Tree of Essence" has been secretly trying to manipulate the entire world, so all of its subordinate organizations are extremely dangerous without exception.
The Split Blade originated in the northwest of the Oden continent. According to the intelligence he obtained through the "Black Tide", half of the members of the Split Blade are from Turns, and they probably have official backgrounds in Turns.
This is a secretive organization that is good at promoting wars. The identity of their real leader is always unknown. Wherever they appear, a war will break out in that country in the near future, resulting in countless casualties.
Darren immediately said vigilantly: "What do you want to do here?"
Black Falcon shook his hand and smiled, "Don't act rashly. We have no ill intentions, but we just hope to cooperate with you."
"Do you know what the third most powerful country is besides Lorne and Qiyao?"
Darren knew the answer deep down in his heart, but he still deliberately gave three possibilities, wanting to see the other party's reaction when hearing each answer, so as to judge the old man's position.
"The Terriella Theocracy in the south of the continent? The Silver Moon City-States in the west of the continent? The Principality of Tunes?"
Black Falcon said calmly:
"The culture and management of the Terriella Theocracy are extremely backward, and they even practice slavery. Apart from the 'Son of the Sun God', there is nothing good about it."
"The so-called Silver Moon City-States are nothing but a pile of loose sand, just a dozen small forces. I think Longwan, Triangle City-States and your four eastern countries are actually forces of similar strength to the Silver Moon City-States."
"In fact, you know very well that the third most powerful country in the Oden Continent is undoubtedly the Principality of Tuens in the northwest!"
He paused, his tone full of undisguised pride, his voice rising higher and higher, and continued:
"That country has many orcs. They are born to be a fighting nation and grew up in the ice and snow. They were often enslaved but now they are growing independently. They have always been extremely resilient."
"And we, the Split Blade, are an organization born from the Principality of Tunes. Sooner or later, we will draw our blades and split the flesh and blood of the Lorne people and the Qiyao people."
Darren remained silent and said nothing.
The old man paused and continued:
"I know you have been cooperating with the Loen people, but no matter whether it is the Loen people or the Qiyao people, they all want to dominate the continent and will eventually become the enemies of you Siat people. The Siat people, like us Tuens people, have common enemies and pressures."
"When the laws of the gods become completely invalid and the oath no longer has any effect, Loen and the Seven Stars will quickly devour the entire Oden continent!"
Darren suddenly asked respectfully: "Who are you?"
The old man's voice was like that of a devil, deep, magnetic and seductive. The pride in his eyes could not be concealed, nor did it need to be concealed.
"I said, I am Black Falcon, but the current Emperor Tuens happens to be my student, so I can indeed represent many of the ideas of the Tuens people."
"Let's join forces, Siat people!"
