My consciousness is in a dark chaos, I can't see anything, I can't hear anything, I just feel hazy.
Karl was about to fall asleep again, but suddenly he felt a familiar and warm spirituality return to him. At the same time, there was also a man's soul, a soul imprint with a purple cross character.
In the dark space, Karl was like an endless huge star, and the man's soul was surrounding it like a tiny planet.
It's Lucius.
He couldn't help but sigh, staring at the confused man's soul and making a promise to it.
[Sleep, in the comfortable dream, quietly waiting for the time to wake up from the dream that has not yet come. 】
[One day, you will wake up again. 】
Lucius's soul fell into a deep sleep, quietly waiting for the day when his soul would revive.
Karl discovered that as Lucius' spirituality was absorbed into his own soul, the second seal had become extremely loose, and it was not far from the time to completely lift it.
He soon noticed something extraordinary.
Under the nourishment of the soul and the baptism of the world, the purple cross character "protection" evolved, and the original cross changed into a fence shape to become a stronger spiritual rune "iron wall".
Compared with the "protection" that can only hold up the repelling force for a moment, the user of the "iron wall" can maintain it as long as he stays put. At the same time, the "iron wall" with a range of nearly ten meters can be used for joint protection. A plurality of one's own people and objects in the player's cognition.
"So it turns out that the emotional energy that is constantly escaping from the soul and the world can promote the effects of the runes to evolve to a new stage."
He suddenly understood, and then gave Chris the soul imprint of the "Iron Wall" spiritual rune.
Neither Irene nor Byrne's soul capacity could bear the second soul engraving, so they could only give the "iron wall" to young Chris.
And those who only obtain the blood of the dependents cannot obtain the soul imprint of the runes through weak connections.
Karl observed the situation of the escaped Nasir people during his short sleep, and soon saw through the bottle that there was a temporary military camp outside.
Military camp?
He was lost in thought and wasn't quite sure where Irene had gone with the transparent bottle.
Karl could feel the same special aura from two people and immediately became excited.
They have now fallen into Irene's hands. Unfortunately, there is no spiritual power in either of them, and they can only be regarded as components of a powerful set of mysterious and strange objects.
He has reason to believe that there are more components in the hands of the Meyer family.
It's a pity that the Meyer family is a behemoth of the enemy country, and it is impossible for the Fisher family to shake it with its current ant-like strength.
In the temporary military camp, soldiers wearing black military uniforms patrolled, trained, and worked in a disciplined manner. They were the troops directly under the Black Iron Duke and were responsible for the rescue of Nasir Town and the subsequent search and arrest work.
More than seventy people, including the Fisher family, are now in two crowded large tents in the temporary military camp, waiting for the next step with complicated emotions.
Most people finally felt relieved. After all, they were found by their own country's army and did not fall into the hands of the enemy.
However, people such as Byrne and others who have been separated from their loved ones are still filled with uneasiness, anxiety and worry.
Byrne was restless in the tent, gritting his teeth and getting up from time to time. He wanted to wait for news about his father, but he was afraid of learning anything about him.
Conflict, anxiety, uneasiness, regret, and all kinds of emotions surrounded and entangled him deep in his heart.
Soon a soldier came from outside the tent and stared at the civilians inside the tent.
"Who is Byrne Fisher? Your Majesty the Duke calls you over."
"I'm here."
Byrne raised his hand subconsciously, and Irene, who was holding Chris next to her, was slightly startled when she saw purple light emerging from Chris's pupils.
The soldier looked in the direction of the source of the sound, nodded and said, "Come with me."
The Duke, such a big shot wanted to see him, Byrne stood up in a daze and followed the soldiers out of the tent.
He came to the largest tent and saw a burly old man wearing a black cotton-padded coat. He was strong and upright, and his movements had a tough temperament of a military background, but his complexion was extremely fair.
The old man was sitting behind a desk piled with documents. His sharp eyes were like a shrewd and experienced old griffon, always staring at its prey and never letting its guard down for a moment.
Byrne subconsciously felt the tension. The top powerhouse of the third level "Monarch", the most important pillar of the Kingdom of Siyat, a high-ranking big shot, even the king of Siyat had no respect for the black man who was as solid as a mountain. The Iron Duke was quite respectful.
Standing next to the old man was a woman with short blond hair wearing glasses, with a calm expression, all black clothes and pants, fair and delicate skin, and the most eye-catching thing was the huge furry tail like a snow leopard behind her buttocks.
The Black Iron Duke asked straight to the point in a cold voice without any nonsense:
"Are you Byrne of the Fisher family, the son of Lucius?"
"Yes, my lord."
Byrne nodded, a strong bad feeling gradually welling up in his heart.
The Dark Iron Duke stared into his eyes and his tone became solemn:
"Your father died bravely in the battle. He desperately killed two knights and more than a dozen enemies. He fought extremely bravely. He was a warrior, a role model and an example among the Siyat people. You are his only son. What reward do you want? "
"..."
Byrne didn't react for a moment and hesitated for a long time, as if he was confused by the words he heard.
The old man just sat there silently waiting for him to come to his senses.
"I think……"
Byrne was silent for a long time, thinking about how his father would respond if he were here. Finally, he said in a hoarse voice:
"I think the Fischer family can become a member of the Siart nobles."
The Black Iron Duke shook his head decisively and stared coldly at the greedy young man:
"No, only the king of Siyat can enfeoff nobles. I can only make you a knight, and the Fisher family will become a knight family nominally loyal to the Roman family."
The Luomen family is the family of the Black Iron Duke, and is one of the three top noble families in the entire Siyatri. Their behemoth power and status are even second only to the royal family.
Byrne nodded with red eyes and showed a very sad smile: "That's enough, Your Majesty the Duke. I sincerely thank you for your kindness and generosity."
The Black Iron Duke nodded extremely calmly: "Okay, you go down."
There was no chance to ask any more questions. Byrne was taken away by the soldiers. The Black Iron Duke lowered his head and continued working without even looking at the young man.
"There are only eighteen years left before the end of the peace agreement between the two countries!"
The old man sighed and then fell silent. There was deep wisdom in his eyes, and he thought: "Whose handiwork was the 'so-called miracle' that those people encountered?"
On the way back to the tent, Byrne was in a daze. All he could think about was his father's memories. He still remembered how relaxed he was when he said goodbye to him at the end. He just wanted to explore the road ahead, like... Something he had done many times before.
He couldn't understand why everything in the world was so absurd and that day was actually the last time he saw his father.
Byrne suddenly felt nauseous, but after squatting down, he couldn't stop crying. He kept crying and retching, but he couldn't vomit anything without eating.
It turns out that people vomit when they are extremely sad.
He still remembered what the black-armored knight said in an arrogant tone.
"Your death is insignificant. Hand over that treasure. The Meyer family will ascend to the supreme throne of Oden Continent because of you."
Meyer family!
That is probably the top noble family in Rhea that is not inferior to the Luomen family. It has lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years. It is definitely not a terrifying monster that the Fisher family can shake today.
Byrne knelt on the ground, his clenched fingers dug into his skin and blood leaked out, and he roared in a low voice:
"Father! I swore to the Lost Lord that I will avenge you! The Fisher family will remember all the hatred! It will never be forgotten! Sooner or later, the blood and tears of the Meyer family will be used to repay everything!"
