Chapter 367 is back
"I must return to Nasir..."
Inside the dim and swaying carriage, a young man lay quietly. He had lost his left arm and right leg, and a large amount of skin was missing. His hunched figure was outlined with despair by the faint light that occasionally came in from the window.
His body seemed to be consumed by endless pain. Every inch of his muscles was tense. Even lying down could not hide the heavy discomfort. His clothes were tattered, and sweat and dirt mixed on his forehead, slowly sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the dry carriage board.
The merchant outside the carriage suddenly spoke, calling out in a southern Syat accent:
"Hey! You don't have any money on you. I sent you all the way here because I trust you. I hope you didn't lie to me and are really a friend of the Fisher family! Otherwise, I will definitely settle accounts with you!"
Felix's face was haggard, with sunken eye sockets, but his eyes revealed an indescribable fatigue and tenacity.
"Don't worry, I am."
"I am an important friend of the Fisher family. Saving me is definitely not a bad thing..."
After Felix finished speaking, he stopped talking and closed his eyes. His whole body was shaking with pain, and the limbs that should have been restored due to the "broken limb regeneration" bloodline power did not recover.
"Well……"
His hands tightly grasped the simple cushion beneath him, as if it was his only support in the turbulent world. Every bump in the carriage made Felix frown, but even so, the resolute man never uttered a groan, but just endured it all silently, burying the pain deep in his heart.
His breathing was heavy and rapid, and each time it was like he was having a silent battle with death.
Although his body had been pushed to the limit, there was an unyielding light in Felix's eyes, which was a slim but firm hope for the future.
I must go back to Fischer!
Must! Send that message back!
"We're here! Wake up!"
Felix fell into a daze and fell asleep at some point. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout outside and immediately woke up alertly.
finally,
Have we arrived yet?
Has it arrived at Nasir?
Thinking of this possibility, his lips could not help but tremble. He wanted to ask whether he had really arrived in Nasir, but he did not dare to really ask, for fear that the other party's answer would be no.
Fortunately, the businessman outside quickly gave a positive answer.
"We've arrived in Nasir City! The Fisher Manor is right in front of us! But we have to queue for a long time before we have the chance to visit. It's already noon, and I don't know if we can make it tonight..."
Felix breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a huge sense of happiness welling up in him, and tears couldn't be held back from flowing out.
"I, I'm finally... back..."
I'm back.
In front of the gate of Fisher Manor, the sunlight dappled on the carefully manicured lawn, and there were rows of people.
They were dressed in a variety of clothes, but they all revealed expressions of expectation that were difficult to conceal.
The waiting figures moved slowly in the long line, like a silent and heavy river, slowly flowing towards the solemn and mysterious Fisher Manor.
Just a few months ago, the Fisher family and the Roman family had officially announced that the current King of Syat was unworthy of his position, colluded with heretical sects, and was actually a scourge to the country and a sinner in the eyes of the gods, so they supported a young teenage woman, Peggy Yardley, as the new king of Syat.
In the entire East Coast Province, the Fisher family has the final say and their words are law.
So more and more visitors came from all over the country and even from abroad, and finally the Fischer family announced that they would only receive guests without appointments on Wednesdays and Fridays every week.
Basically, unless one is an acquaintance of the Fischer family, anyone below the rank of baron who wants to visit the Fischer family needs to wait in line here. Many people have to wait for several days or even a week or two before they can meet the "executors" of Christine's subordinate team who are responsible for handling various affairs.
These people generally have no way of making an appointment, and are absolutely not qualified to meet Christine in person.
Visitors of the baron class and other similar status would be invited into the manor by the family servants and wait in the large room inside the manor.
Viscounts of higher status would be taken to a separate lounge and would also have the opportunity to talk directly to Christine herself.
The gate of the manor was closed tightly. The heavy wooden door was carved with intricate patterns. It looked more ancient and solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun, adding a sense of oppression.
For people waiting in line, time seems to become slow and heavy at this moment, and every second is full of torment.
Felix's voice came out weakly.
"No, there's no need to keep queuing. Just go over and say a word and a name. Casting... Felix, just say these two words."
"You don't need to worry about what happens next."
The merchant was skeptical, but finally nodded. He barely resisted the dissatisfied gazes of many nobles and merchants, bypassed the long line, and came directly in front of the servants and guards of the Fisher family.
He leaned forward nervously and said humbly, "We, we want to see Ms. Christine."
The leading gatekeeper was a third-level Dawnbreaker, and he immediately laughed.
“Hahaha, everyone here wants to see Her Excellency Christine! But they are not qualified, and neither are you!”
"And Lord Christine likes rules and order. If you want to cut in line, it means you don't have a chance today. Come back tomorrow!"
The businessman was sweating profusely and immediately shouted:
"Wait, please wait! Cast! Felix! Cast Felix!"
The gatekeeper frowned. Of course he knew who Felix was, but he was not sure why the other party said this name.
The businessman yelled, but was still forcibly escorted out by the family guards, and was finally kicked to the ground.
"Fuck you, didn't you say..."
The businessman returned to the carriage and was about to curse when he suddenly heard a magnetic middle-aged voice.
"Do you know where Felix is?"
The businessman turned around and was instantly frightened pale. However, the guards were very respectful to the middle-aged man who approached him silently, and he instantly recognized who the other person was!
A total big shot!
The person who suddenly came near the carriage was none other than the leader of the Dawnbringers, Yager of the Road of Conquest.
Today, Yager is already a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples. As the former mayor of Finn City, he has long retired behind the scenes and let his descendants help the Dawn Cult manage the city.
Today he came to Nasir City to discuss something with Christine. When he came out, he heard someone calling Felix's name, and the gatekeeper immediately reported the matter to him.
Yager rushed to the carriage, pulled open the curtain, and took a look inside. He was instantly surprised to find that the person inside was really Felix!
He couldn't help laughing and shouted, "Felix, that's great! You're still alive! Hahahahaha!"
The businessman next to him was stunned and speechless for a long time.
He finally stuttered, "Well, Mr. Yager, it was me. I brought him back!"
When Felix saw Yager's face, he finally relaxed completely and fell asleep again.
"Felix! Wake up! How did you get hurt like this!?"
Not long after, the bruised and battered Felix was taken to Fischer's Manor by Yager, and the merchant who brought him back was also rewarded generously.
"Felix, how did you become like this?" Byrne asked, looking at his grandson with eyes full of regret and anger, and subconsciously clenched his hands.
In the hall of Fisher Manor, many family members surrounded Felix, while he was lying on a bed without moving, and his missing limbs were very conspicuous.
The old Lillian sat in a wheelchair and used the rune power of the "Tree of Resurrection" to heal all his injuries in an instant. However, Felix was still very tired and lay on the bed without getting up at all.
Byrne breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, kid."
"Tell me about your experiences in the past ten years. What exactly happened?"
Felix nodded slightly and continued.
"I've been through a lot in the past ten years, and I was seriously injured because I wanted to escape from the Star Embrace Society, but was caught by them."
An anxious Archibald was also here, shouting, "The Star Embrace? Didn't you go to the Reforged Church? Why did you fall into the hands of the Star Embrace?"
Felix said, "She! Isabel, she is from the Star Embrace Society!"
"What!"
Everyone was shocked, even Byrne was stunned. They had never expected that the female bishop of the Reforged Church was actually an undercover agent of the Star Embracing Society!
"I tried to escape carefully and avoided various pursuits along the way. Unfortunately, she never trusted me, so she put a tracking alchemical tool on me. Later, I was caught by Isabel."
Felix couldn't help showing a look of pain on his face. He took a deep breath and continued calmly:
"So I was tortured by them for a period of time. During that time, my body was constantly destroyed, and then restored due to the power of my bloodline, and then destroyed by them again. The goal of those lunatics was to completely wipe out my will..."
"If it wasn't for chance, I wouldn't have been able to escape. I'm afraid the great Lord of the Lost is protecting me."
Everyone fell silent, knowing deep down that although Felix said it so easily, the pain and torture he had to endure was probably unimaginable.
Only those with the strongest will can endure it.
"Fischer, there's danger!"
Felix's voice gradually grew louder, and he finally spoke out loud the secret he had always wanted to reveal!
"The Star Embraceers are going to join forces with the Word of Silence to completely destroy us!"
