Chapter 386: Legacy
After taking a portion of the spoils, the Roman family decided to return to their family territory and quickly prepare for many things to come.
Everyone knows that everything in Syat is not completely over yet.
However, the end of the war is about to begin.
The sudden death of Amos came as a great shock to Aldrich and Ariel. Even though the war was almost a complete victory, neither of them was in a happy mood.
"If I had a choice, I would rather die in place of the young people..." Aldridge said calmly and seriously as he left.
Zain was very happy, because he knew in his heart that he had finally completely avenged the “Roaring King”.
The long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled.
Zain knew that his revenge was over.
"Sir, I succeeded..."
The reconstruction of Nasir City began rapidly.
The Sequence Transcendents of the Foundry Road began to show their prowess one after another. Their power was easily effective in this regard, and they rebuilt the city at an extremely fast speed.
However, even if the buildings in the city can be rebuilt, the dead citizens will find it difficult to return.
The entire city suffered heavy casualties in the final moments of the battle. Every family in Nasir suffered a severe blow, and the flames of revenge quickly burned in the deepest parts of people's hearts.
They all said they would fight back!
We must fight back!
Thoroughly liquidate and annihilate the Yadli royal family in southern Syat!
The new queen supported by the Fisher family and the Roman family, Peggy Yardley, is the legitimate queen. She is the queen who truly cares for and loves the Syat people!
The Fisher family immediately promised the people of Nasir City that they would definitely launch a thorough counterattack in the south and unify the entire Syat as soon as possible!
Soon, a tall old man in a blue robe arrived in Nasir City.
Kirill Ivan, born in Thun, was called "Dark Wave".
Cardinal of the Church of the Storm.
He is one of the three most powerful people in the entire Storm Church, and also the most senior cardinal among the three Storms.
In a sense, Kirill Ivan is the acting Pope of the Church of the Storm in the east of the continent, and his status is very high.
"This city has been through a lot over the past few decades... Did you really win?"
A tall old man in a blue robe slowly floated down from the sky, an expression of shock that could not be concealed on his face. It was obvious that he was very familiar with the situation of the Star Embrace Society and the Whisper of Silence, and it was hard for him to imagine that they would end up being almost wiped out in Nasir.
Christine and Darren from the Fisher family, as well as Bishop Zain who stayed temporarily, immediately came to greet them.
“You’re finally here!”
Zain smiled and began to recount what had happened in the past few days. He couldn’t help but add some exaggerations and deletions to his words. These were all minor changes that were beneficial to the Fisher Family and the Roman Family. He would never dare to lie in the general direction.
"I see, is that what happened?"
Cardinal Ivan heard the whole story from Zain, and then nodded slowly. In fact, he already knew part of the situation here, but he still needed a detailed report from Zain and others.
"I will contact the Pope of the Church of Redemption. The situation regarding the Royal Family of Yardley, the Quiet Words, and the Star Embracing Society is indeed very important."
He then looked at the members of the Fisher family and spoke slowly and calmly.
"Fischer, Roman, your two families have done a great deed by destroying the Speechless Ones. Don't worry, the Storm Church will find a way to reward you and will never let God's people suffer."
Ivan left soon, and Zain followed shortly after.
Darren stared at the old man as he left, thinking silently in his heart.
"Your attitude just now was really condescending."
"The most powerful people in the four eastern countries are him and the king of Cania, right? No, in this world, theocracy still takes precedence over kingship..."
"Even if those false gods are gone."
——
Byrne, who was extremely old and had a wrinkled face, lay in his bedroom. He felt his body was weaker and older than ever before, and he didn't even want to move at all.
I see.
Is this the end for me?
He suddenly recalled the definite prophecy that Kano had made ten years ago.
I will die because my lifespan is drained away...it seems like the prophecy has been postponed again and again, but the final result has not changed.
"No, the ending of the Fisher family's demise has changed, and that's actually enough."
He took a deep breath and thought of his deceased daughter Lillian. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, but then he felt comforted and relieved when he thought of Irene's arrival.
Yes.
Lillian went to meet the great Lord of the Lost, and I should be happy for her.
There is no doubt that the Fisher family members do have a place to go after death, so I don’t need to worry too much about death itself.
Byrne suddenly smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Haha, I will be able to see them soon..."
Just at this moment the door opened and several members of the Fischer family walked in from outside with different expressions.
Christine was sitting in the wheelchair pushed by Chris, followed closely by Darren, and last to come in was a black-haired young man in white clothes.
He was thin, as if he could be easily blown away by a slightly stronger breeze, and his clear but slightly melancholy eyes were always habitually lowered, as if he was afraid to look directly at the world.
That was one of Darren’s sons.
Achille.
He is the new high priest of the Order of the Dawn.
Although he was only in his teens and very young, and had only reached the second step on the road to divine sacrifice, the first high priest was chosen by God at a young age.
Both Byrne and Chris heard the oracle that Archer was chosen by the Lord of the Lost at the same time, so no one had any doubts.
Since he is the high priest chosen by the Lord of the Lost himself, no one will question its correctness. Achilles' position is a hundred times more solid than steel and gold.
But the young man himself seemed a little confused and helpless. Although he had embarked on the path of divine sacrifice, he only truly became a pious person when the black stone tablet appeared not long ago.
Aqir had no doubt about the decision of the Lost Lord, but deep down he doubted whether he could fulfill the duties of the high priest.
"Can I really?"
“Am I really qualified?”
His character was full of cowardice and anxiety. Whenever he faced a crowd or needed to express himself, he would subconsciously step back, with his hands unconsciously entangled together, his knuckles turning slightly white due to nervousness.
Byrne sat up weakly on the bed, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he stared at his grandson Archie.
"Don't be confused, Aqir, just go for it. God must have chosen you for a reason."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Archer frowned slightly, obviously still unable to accept the drastic change in his identity.
But Byrne thought that didn't matter, all he needed was time.
I also grew up slowly when I was a child. Archer is still just a teenager, and the Fisher family today is enough to give him enough time to grow.
"Father."
Darren, who is already in his fifties, walked around his son and came to his father Byrne. He looked at him calmly, and with mixed emotions, he grabbed his father's old hand.
"Leave Fisher to us from now on."
"I swear to you."
The look in his eyes gradually became deeper.
"Whether it's revenge on the royal family of Yardley and several major families in the country, or revenge on the people of Rhea, it will be accomplished by our generation!"
Byrne nodded slightly and said earnestly:
"Felix, Helen, Hecate, Art, Delia and their generation still need to grow up, and we all know about Kano's situation. He may have left Nasir... So the family will be counting on you, Chris, and Christine next."
"The Dawn Cult also needs you to work together to build it better. I believe that with the strength and will deep in your hearts, you can definitely do better than me."
He paused, looked at Chris and continued:
"The great Lord of the Lost has awakened, so our most important task next is to fully assist Chris in reaching the sixth step, and to enable those who have already mastered the power of the fourth step sequence to step onto the new fifth step."
Chris nodded slightly, indicating that he was fully prepared.
Byrne continued, "Yage is an ambitious man, but he did not do anything out of line in those ten years. Now that we have the great Lord of the Lost, he will never betray us. We can use him with confidence."
"As long as Lord Aldrich is still alive, the Roman family will remain in alliance with us. Unless faced with a choice between his own family and Fischer's survival, Lord Aldrich will not betray us."
“Bishop Zain appears to be cold and sharp-tongued, but he is actually a very sentimental person. However, you must remember that he alone cannot represent the attitude of the Storm Church, and you cannot fully trust the church.”
“Except for the Roman family and Zain, the other big families in Siat are all fence-sitters. Since we have won the war, they will naturally follow us. We don’t have to worry about the big families in the country. We should pay more attention to the influence of foreign forces.”
"Whether it is the two great empires of Loen and Qiyao, or the six great orthodox churches, they are still the real rulers of the world. Even if the Fisher family becomes powerful, they still have to be aware of surviving in the cracks. Caution is of utmost importance, and we must not be arrogant."
"And the most important thing is that the secrets about Him must continue to be protected."
He paused, then said in a slow and low voice:
"Except for Peggy, all other members of the Yardley royal family must be executed. No one should be left alive. Then let members of the Fisher family marry Peggy, and after she gives birth to a child, she can rest."
"But other than that, you should kill fewer people. Darren, remember, when you attack Rhea in the future, don't think about committing genocide."
Darren remained silent, his eyes flickering, and finally nodded and agreed to his father.
"Christine."
Byrne raised his head and looked at Christine, took a deep breath again, and said solemnly:
"I hope that you will be the head of the Fisher family next."
Christine in the wheelchair was slightly stunned.
"Why me? Not Darren..."
Byrne continued calmly.
"Over the years, you have formulated and improved the rules and regulations and handled various daily affairs. We have certainly seen it all. You are more suitable to be the new head of the family than Darren."
Darren also nodded and looked at Christine, and said calmly: "Although those rules are unpleasant, I am not a child anymore. Christine, you are indeed more suitable than me."
Christine no longer refused, but said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely allow Fisher to continue to develop and become stronger... and I will also satisfy all of His oracles."
Byrne then talked to them a lot about the details of the follow-up. Chris didn't say anything throughout the whole process, but kept staring at him.
As the sky gradually darkened, his voice became weaker and weaker.
"Almost..."
"You have been working so hard during this period. I'm sorry, but I'm a little tired and I really want to rest alone for a while."
Byrne suddenly felt extremely tired, and deep down he just wanted to have a long sleep.
