From the Esoteric Cult Family to the Kingdom of God
Chapter 94: Surrender (please give me a monthly ticket!)
Before leaving Nasir Town, Byrne came to the basement to talk to Irene and Chris about what happened next.
"During my absence, the Fisher family must be careful. The Case family is likely to retaliate because our behavior has obviously humiliated them."
He knew that the Case family was very domineering, and with the support of the Garcia family behind them, they must think they can completely defeat the Fisher family.
So, the Fisher family slapped the Case family in the face, so they had to bear the possibility of retaliation.
Irene folded her arms and nodded, saying seriously: "Well, we will keep a low profile as much as possible and not leave Nasir Town. Even if we have to leave, we will be cautious and keep our actions secret."
Chris also nodded silently.
He thought about whether to assassinate the important figures in the Case family's territory. Since Byrne and Irene decided to be cautious and low-key, he could only forget it for the time being.
When Byrne left Nasir Town, he only took the captain of the guard, Theo, and did not take anyone else on the road.
After he left Nasir Town by carriage, he did not go directly to Fein City, but first came to Urd Village not far to the west.
Although it was originally an enclave of the royal family, the royal family could not manage it at all because it was too far away from the capital of Syat, resulting in the area of Urd Village being actually controlled by the Kes family.
The Syat royal family can still receive taxes, and they know that they can't manage so many things in remote areas, so they can only let this situation go.
This village looks ordinary, with a total population of only more than a thousand people. People live in poverty but not unlivable.
Its real value lies in the dense and vast jungle outside the village.
This area is adjacent to the boundless jungle in the north of Nasir Town, which is dozens of times larger than the village itself. The mysterious creatures in the jungle can stably produce important extraordinary materials of level 2, and occasionally even level 3.
Even for each baron family, level 3 extraordinary materials are undoubtedly extremely important things.
Whether it is breaking through from the upper position of the origin to metamorphosis, or breaking through from the lower position of metamorphosis to the middle position of metamorphosis, it requires the assistance of a potion made of third-level extraordinary materials.
There is no doubt that the Fisher family has taken the fattest piece of meat from the mouth of the Case family.
Byrne can understand the hostility of the other party. Anyone from any family will gnash their teeth and can't sleep all night after hearing such news.
"Tio, let's go."
The two took a carriage and set off on the road to Finn City.
On the way, Byrne read a book about tea in the carriage while thinking about whether to give the sequence power to Tio?
"Tio."
"Hmm?"
Tio, who was driving, had gray hair on his temples and was nearly fifty years old. He was a little confused and immediately replied:
"Master, what's the matter?"
Byrne smiled in the carriage, closed the book about tea in his hand, and asked calmly:
"I don't think I have ever asked you before, which god do you believe in?"
Tio hesitated for a while, but still answered honestly: "Actually, I talked about this with Mr. Lucius before, and Ms. Irene also asked."
"To be honest, I am actually not interested in gods and religion. For me, more practical things, those visible things are the most important."
He thought and finally said: "For example, money, family, friends, weapons... I am too stupid, Master, I really can't understand things that can't be seen with my eyes."
Is that so, Byrne smiled and nodded, it is indeed a very practical concept, which is completely in line with Tio's serious and serious character on weekdays.
Good thing.
Compared to those invisible and intangible gods, the existence form of the great Lord of the Lost and the power He gave were undoubtedly extremely real and unquestionable.
Since his father's time, Theo has followed the Fisher family. At that time, he was even his swordsmanship teacher, and now he is the captain of the guard.
Theo's loyalty is unquestionable, otherwise they would not have given him such an important position.
Now that things have come to this, perhaps he should be given a chance.
Byrne guessed that the most suitable path for Theo might be the path of conquest, because he is undoubtedly a true warrior.
Well, let's vote together to decide Theo's situation in the next discussion on whether to give John the power of the sequence.
Finally, they arrived at the distant city of Fein. In fact, Byrne has been traveling to Fein frequently in the past few years. He has seen the changes in this city.
In just a few years, the population of Fein, the only city in the East Coast Province, has increased significantly.
However, after the population surge, Fein City has erupted with unstable public security, chaotic buildings, and infectious diseases, and the officials of the city hall are busy all day long.
Viscount Best's Rhine family owns several manors, and the most commonly used one is the Autumn Leaf Manor, which is located at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs of Fein City.
It is a very large area, with three huge and luxurious mansions connected together. The surrounding area is lush with green trees and the pond is light green. It looks poetic from a distance.
As soon as he arrived at the Autumn Leaf Manor, Byrne found that there were many people waiting in line here.
They came from all over the East Coast Province, and without exception, they all had important things to do with the Lion Rhine Family. Many people looked extremely nervous and anxious.
It was not just Byrne who thought his matter was important, but the people queuing there actually thought so.
In fact, there were over a million people in the East Coast Province, so there were too many people who wanted to see Viscount Best every day, and there were many people who were not qualified to meet him and were not allowed to enter the manor.
There was no other way, so he had to wait for a while.
Byrne knew very well that his status and position were nothing in the Lion Family, so he waited obediently in the lounge.
Suddenly, a female servant in a tuxedo came into view. She was a young woman with flames burning on the edges of her hair. Her eyes were piercing and extremely bright, and she looked very elegant.
Flame Clan, like Silver Clan, is one of the four mainstream sub-humans.
The Flame Clan maid said politely: "Mr. Byrne, please come with me. Viscount Best wants to see you first."
"Okay, I know!" Byrne stood up immediately.
Everyone looked at Byrne. Could it be that he was actually the offspring of some big shot? Otherwise, why would the Viscount meet him first?
Following behind the female Flame Clan servant, Byrne could always feel the heat coming from her.
It was the first time he saw the Flame Clan in the East Coast Province. Most of the people living in this province were Silver Clan and Stone Clan. It was rare to see the Flame Clan who were born with the ability to produce flames.
Byrne walked in the mansion for a long time, and even had the illusion that he was in a palace.
He felt that if there was no one to lead him, he might get lost in the mansion when he first came in.
Along the way, he could see many servants, and everyone was very obedient, smiling, and very polite.
Then, he didn't see even a family guard, and soon realized that those who dared to attack this manor were definitely not something that ordinary guards could resist.
So the guards of the Bester family should not have ordinary people at all, and the few extraordinary guards also lived in rooms that he couldn't see.
Finally, the maid stopped and said with a smile: "Lord Byrne, the Viscount is in this reception room, please come in."
It turned out that there was more than one reception room in Qiuye Manor. Byrne silently wrote down all the information about Qiuye Manor, and then met Viscount Bester who was drinking tea silently in the reception room.
Viscount Bester was obviously a very particular and respectable person at home.
There were several young and beautiful male and female servants around him, some of whom were responsible for making tea, some for taking clothes, and some for taking snacks.
Each servant in the Rhine family was only responsible for one thing.
The servants in the noble family with profound heritage all followed the principle of "one person, one thing".
"You are finally here, Byrne, I have been wondering when you will come recently."
"Sit down and have tea."
Viscount Bester sat calmly on the sofa, drinking the fragrant black tea.
Byrne knew that it was normal for the other party to guess that he would come.
Because the Fisher family's foundation in the East Coast Province was too unstable, they would have to find a backer sooner or later, and Viscount Best was the most familiar and easy choice.
Byrne tried not to be nervous and sat down calmly opposite Viscount Best.
Drinking tea.
The two of them didn't say anything for a long time, just drinking tea. The servants standing beside them stood still, their eyes always looking straight ahead.
Viscount Best suddenly asked, "What do you think of the tea you just drank?"
Byrne got the question right, and instantly recalled all the knowledge he had seen in the carriage, and replied with a smile:
"The quality is very good. Tea is introduced in the books I read. Only very good tea can have this kind of fragrance, and the taste is very rich and mellow, with a certain bitterness and sweetness."
Viscount Best smiled and nodded:
"Well, you are a person who likes reading, I can see that."
He suddenly sighed and said, "Okay, let's talk about business."
The servants quickly took away the tea, and the whole process was smooth. Viscount Best leaned on the sofa and stared at Byrne calmly.
Byrne nodded, then took out a contract from his arms and handed it over.
Viscount Best reached out and took the contract, took a look at it calmly, it was a transfer statement of a large number of shares in two factories, and he put the contract aside without saying a word after reading it.
Byrne took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Viscount, I want to be able to get your protection. Is there anything else I need to do?"
He had been fully prepared for a long time, knowing that he might have to take the initiative to hand over the handle or do something as a "proof of loyalty" to show his loyalty to Viscount Best.
It's just that I don't know what Viscount Best's inner request is.
However, Viscount Best shook his head, his voice low as if he was recalling something.
"I don't need you to do anything else to express your loyalty, because as I said, I was born to be able to see a person's character, and you are the kind of person who values love and righteousness."
"Byrne, I know you will never betray me."
He slowly got up and turned to look out the window. The red leaves outside were falling continuously.
Winter is coming.
"You came here at the right time. I was right. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence."
Viscount Best turned his back to Byrne and continued, "Go to a place with me, Byrne, you will be exposed to another completely different world."
