Chapter 91 Hope (ask for monthly ticket!)
Byrne looked at the people surrounding the manor outside the door, and felt that it should not be a bad thing. After all, the relationship between the Fisher family and the residents of Nasir was very good.
"We'll find out once we go and take a look."
However, when they arrived at the door, they found that the townspeople were not there to protest or rebel. Instead, everyone had gifts and were vying to give them to the Fisher family.
Zain chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect that you guys have such a good reputation here.”
Before leaving in the carriage, Zain stared at Byrne who was seeing him off below from the carriage and said lightly:
"Listen to my advice. Compared to buying the hearts of ordinary people, the powerful power you possess is the most fundamental. The existence of ordinary people will become increasingly meaningless to your family."
"I see!"
Byrne nodded immediately, thanking Zain for his advice.
The Fisher family was extremely weak at the beginning, and the connections of ordinary people were indeed very useful. They really need to change their mindset in the future.
After all, most of the world's resources are in the hands of extraordinary people.
Three months later, construction of the first factory that the Fischer family had already decided to open officially began.
The various families and individuals surrounding the Fischer family have basically invested in the factory, and their interests are more firmly combined.
The construction of the pharmaceutical factory attracted a lot of labor, some of whom were from Nasir town and the other part were from surrounding villages.
The Fisher family is looking forward to building their first factory in the town of Nasir, and will build a second factory, a food processing plant, later.
The two factories are expected to bring extremely high profits to the Fischer family.
Over the course of three years, the Fisher family has successively offered five collection-level mysterious artifacts to the Lord of the Lost, including the one they had obtained from Emile.
However, Carl found that they were becoming less and less effective.
It seems that if I want to break through the seal of a higher level, I need not only the quantity of spirituality, but also the quality.
That is to say, if he wants to truly break through the third seal, he still needs a sacrifice of better quality.
So he issued an oracle to tell Irene that the Fisher family would no longer need to sacrifice mysterious objects of collection level.
Unfortunately, whether it is the stronger treasure-level items or the fourth-level extraordinary materials, they are things that cannot be bought on the black market or in the Alchemy Council.
Having money alone is not enough. Many precious resources are difficult to buy with money, so various families and secret organizations will hide them carefully.
For example, a mysterious item of forbidden level cannot be bought with money. Even if it is a forbidden item with a four-digit number, it can still make the families on the East Coast scramble for it.
Finally, the envoy from the Syat royal family arrived.
The Fisher family entertained them with great hospitality and later learned about the territories that had been allocated to them by the Syat royal family.
"Uld Village."
It’s very close, just on the edge of Nasir Town. Not far to the west is the village of Urd, which has a population of about a thousand people.
Irene was silent for a while, then said:
"Urd, that is an area that has been controlled by the Case family for decades. There is a forest around it that produces mysterious creatures. Every year, several second-level or even third-level extraordinary materials can be harvested."
"They will not sit idly by and watch us take away Urd, the most important piece of land for the Cais family."
——
Building an entire factory is a large-scale project. Byrne specially invited experienced people from Fein City to provide guidance to ensure that there will be no accidents during the entire construction process.
A group of workers were taking a lunch break in a factory that was about to be completed. Although they were tired, they were still in high spirits and chatting energetically.
They were all willing to work for the Fischer family because they never delayed paying their wages and even provided them with a hearty lunch.
Lunch consisted of bread, cabbage, potatoes, cheese, a small amount of beer, various fish, and occasionally bacon.
People on the East Coast have long been tired of fish, but bacon is extremely attractive, and the Syats' reserves of meat are still relatively low.
A worker was eating bread and chatting:
"I saw Miss Vanessa in East City a few days ago. She was so kind. She distributed food to the elderly with a smile and didn't care at all that her boots got dirty in the muddy ground."
Another worker nearby shook his head and said, "What a pity for her legs..."
The worker biting the bread said: "Even if she is lame, she is still very beautiful. She is so elegant. I wish my future wife could be as elegant as her."
Everyone burst into laughter. This guy's idea was really unrealistic.
"Hahahaha, stop dreaming!"
"Hurry up and pee on the ground and look at your face to see how much mud there is!"
Ms. Vanessa is the quasi-housekeeper of the Fisher family and a big shot in the town of Nasir. These poor guys are not on the same level as her.
Even Ms. Vanessa's followers were not people they could easily pursue.
Suddenly an old worker said, "I've seen Miss Vanessa beating people in secret."
ah?
Everyone was stunned. Everyone was surprised that the lady who was always elegant and gentle would hit people?
The old worker paused and said, "But the man she beat up was a hooligan who harassed the elderly. He thought he was powerful because he joined the Dagger Brotherhood."
Dagger Brotherhood!
Everyone was inexplicably afraid when they heard the name, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
That group of people controls the order of East City. The leader Moore and the sheriff even have good relations with the Fisher family. They will take care of things that the patrol team does not care about, and any violent conflict will be intervened by the Brotherhood.
"That gangster was like a madman, trying to attack Miss Vanessa, but all his attacks were dodged. Miss Vanessa, with her hands behind her back, was as agile as a butterfly. I really can't imagine that she is a disabled person."
Everyone was in complete disbelief, thinking that the old worker must be exaggerating. How could such a petite and disabled young lady possibly do such a thing?
The worker biting the bread had an anxious look in his eyes, and immediately asked with concern:
"What happened to that gangster later? Did he take his men back to take revenge? Miss Vanessa will be okay, right? I know that when those gangsters go crazy, they don't care about the other party's identity or status at all!"
The old worker sneered and said mockingly:
"What are you thinking? He didn't dare to mention this matter after he returned, but the news still spread, and then... Moore chopped off one of his fingers in public!"
Everyone looked shocked, but then felt it was very logical. After all, Ms. Vanessa was from the Fisher family, and even the Dagger Brotherhood could not afford to offend her.
Moreover, the rules of the Dagger Brotherhood are strict, and they are harsher on insiders than outsiders. The rules set by the thin and short Moore make everyone in awe.
Even when his brother broke the rules, Moore cut off a finger.
"The rules that have been set are what must be followed, and the rules are the foundation of our existence." Moore said this publicly to everyone.
There was even one time when a young knight from the Vaner family wanted to kill a little brat who had soiled his clothes, but he was stopped by Moore and his men.
"According to the rules, he only needs to compensate you with money, or at worst be beaten up by you. Please be merciful and don't kill him."
"Can your rules for ordinary people control me?"
At that time, Moore was so angry that the knight laughed, and suddenly he slapped him and knocked out two of his teeth.
Moore still resisted the pressure and did not give up the child. Instead, he and his subordinates drew their flintlocks and pointed them at the knight, causing Vaner to leave with a gloomy face.
The old worker continued, his eyes full of awe for the Fischer family:
"Nasir Town belongs to the Fisher family. Anyone who dares to provoke the Fisher family is seeking his own death!"
When he said this, he slowly stood up, shook his head and said, "I'm going to go shake my bird and relax. I just drank too much."
"Hahahaha, old man, why are you going to the toilet again!"
"It's totally useless now!"
The workers all laughed. The old worker just smiled, not caring about the teasing, turned around, left everyone's sight and went to a corner.
In his heart, he respects Ms. Vanessa and the Fisher family very much.
The old worker was a local fisherman in Nasir. He has been living with his young granddaughter for more than ten years.
One winter day while fishing at sea, the old man was accidentally dragged into the water by a fish and developed a high fever. After he managed to survive, he kept coughing all day and his body became increasingly weak.
Seeing that he was about to completely lose the ability to live, he was in great pain. If he didn't go fishing, his granddaughter would never be able to survive!
Then Ms. Irene appeared and easily relieved him of the torment he had endured all day.
That kind of gentleness and strength was undoubtedly a miracle, and the old man would never forget it!
He had also received food relief from Ms. Vanessa for several years, and just a few days ago, Ms. Vanessa introduced him to a job in a factory.
Now everything is going in the right direction. He has a job in a factory and no longer has to risk going out to sea. His granddaughter is growing up and even has two reliable suitors vying for her favor.
There is finally hope in life.
He was sincerely grateful to the Fisher family for the changes they had brought to Nasir.
After finally finishing peeing, the old worker took out a piece of bread wrapped in paper from his arms. He had not been willing to eat it just now, so he planned to take it back for his granddaughter.
The granddaughter's birthday is coming soon, and the old worker decides to use the salary he has saved during this period to buy something the girl likes, but he is still unsure what to buy.
A new dress?
Or nice shoes?
"Why don't we find a chance to ask Ms. Vanessa? She will definitely know the best answer."
Just then, a tall man in black clothes walked past the old worker.
Those eyes were like the pupils of a snake, which made the old worker shudder. Goose bumps appeared all over his body and his fingers trembled subconsciously.
He stared at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but stare in thought.
Who is that guy?
At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed the old worker's neck from behind.
——
Fisher's house.
Byrne, who had just sent Margaret away, returned to the family hall. Vanessa, with a limp, walked up to him quickly, looking very anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Byrne frowned slightly, realizing that something must have happened.
"Master, there's an accident at the factory."
Vanessa paused, bit her lip, and finally calmed down and said:
"We found it, the body parts."
