At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and many people came to old Raymond's funeral.
There are only a few blacksmith shops in Nasir, and old Raymond's skills are recognized as the best, even his younger and stronger son cannot match them.
A few years ago, the once burly and majestic old man gradually lost himself due to aging, as if he gradually disappeared. Even Irene could not cure "aging" itself.
The funeral was held in the church of the Sun Church. There were very few people in Nasir who believed in the Sun Church, so the scale of the Sun Church was not very large.
Old Raymond lay peacefully in the coffin, his old face showing the traces of time, his white hair covering his pale head like silver threads, and deep wrinkles carved on his forehead and corners of his eyes. He seemed to no longer be tired or worried. , lying there comfortably waiting for God to take away the soul that is about to die.
It was everyone's turn to say goodbye to the old man in the coffin, and Irene, dressed in black robe, walked up calmly.
The former little girl is now the head of a secret cult family, but old Raymond did not know the secret about the sudden rise of the Fisher family until his death.
Eileen looked down at the very familiar old man, her eyes reddish, as if she was mumbling to herself or praying:
"Mr. Raymond, good afternoon, I hope you can find eternal peace in the quiet world, and the great Lord of the Lost will protect your soul."
Byrne and Margaret also arrived, already a well-known couple.
For more than a year, many people in Nasir have been impressed by Margaret's boldness, strength, and arrogance, and now her most conspicuous feature is her big belly.
In fact, many people in the Hoffmann family behind Margaret did not agree with the marriage between the two, even if her brother Baron Hoffmann himself supported it.
Because except for the siblings, all the family members felt that Byrne, who was just a knight, was not worthy of Margaret, not to mention that the Fisher family was just a nouveau riche from a small place.
In today's era, the importance of blood identity and matching is self-evident. Byrne's "progressive behavior" made many people sneer behind his back.
However, Margaret, who had her own way of doing things, had a simple and easy-to-understand method of fighting against her family. She got pregnant without permission.
When she openly exposed this matter, her old mother was so angry that she fainted and fell to the ground. If Byrne hadn't run so fast, his legs would have been broken by his father-in-law on the spot.
He wanted to say that he was forced by Margaret, but maybe not many people would believe it.
The tall Xiu, with red eyes, talked to the people attending the funeral one after another.
When he saw several members of the Fisher family, he forced a sad smile.
"My father is very grateful to you. Really, he became sober again in the last period. Thank you for your help to the Raymond family in the past few years."
Erin nodded and said, "Those are things we should do. Thank you for your hard work, Xiu."
"No, it's nothing..."
Just after Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears, and everyone quickly comforted him.
"ah!"
Suddenly Margaret screamed, closed her eyes, and uncontrollably grabbed Byrne's shoulder with one hand, and Byrne gritted her teeth in pain.
"My stomach, my stomach hurts so much, my stomach!"
Everyone was stunned for a while, and then got into a hurry.
Erin quickly confirmed one thing through the power of the healing rune. Margaret was not suddenly ill, but was really about to give birth!
She quickly said: "Sorry, sorry we have to leave first! I'm so sorry!"
Of course Xiu said he understood, and the Fisher family hurriedly left the scene and rushed to the only hospital in the town.
It was early. It was originally expected that Margaret would be giving birth in half a month, but somehow it was suddenly brought forward.
Eileen went to help deliver Margaret with the doctors and nursing staff.
Screams continued to be heard, and the family servants and guards were all waiting anxiously outside. Byrne was even more like crazy, pacing around and taking deep breaths again and again. His mind was completely blank like never before. .
"Calm down, Byrne."
Six-year-old Chris suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Byrne and said expressionlessly: "It's not you who gave birth to him."
Byrne was stunned for a moment. Chris didn't usually talk much, but when he spoke, people couldn't help but feel that he was indeed a strange kid.
Time seemed to slow down extremely slowly, and Byrne stood there sweating, quietly waiting for the new members of the Fisher family to arrive.
What happened today, he suddenly had a very strange feeling.
Death is always followed by new life.
That may be the true meaning of "inheritance"
At the same time, no one could detect a calm gaze from the sky.
Carl's consciousness was invisibly overlooking the Fisher family from a high place, including the hard-working Erin, the anxious Byrne, and the calm Chris.
He could feel a new consciousness becoming more and more connected to him.
It's a wonderful feeling. A life comes from scratch and appears in a world that is not ready to welcome him. And he is about to embark on his own journey without any preparation at all.
The fate of blood passed down from generation to generation in the Fisher family, the predecessors died and the descendants were reborn.
Generations will pass through history, and Fisher will engrave his family's name on it, and will eventually bring about real recovery for himself.
finally.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!"
A loud voice suddenly appeared in the hospital, and everyone in the Fisher family cheered!
Byrne's expression also became extremely excited, and he kept mumbling to himself, thanking his wife and cousin, and the smile on his face became brighter.
The child Margaret gave birth to was a boy who looked like a very weak little animal with a complex red mark on the back of his hand.
According to what had been decided long ago, the boy's name is Darren Fisher, and his name means "a person with the potential to achieve great things."
Everyone else thought that the so-called big cause meant making the Fisher family a real noble family.
Only Byrne, Erin, and Chris understood how complex and ambitious the "big cause" in that name was.
The new generation of the Fisher family finally arrived, and everyone was immersed in joy. Byrne came to Lucius's tomb and calmly told a lot.
For more than a year, Byrne has successfully improved a new medicine, which is specially used to restore people's energy. The cost is very low and the sales are extremely wide. It perfectly realizes the bet with Mr. Jin, and then further develops medicine. career.
Nowadays, the Fisher family can have a stable income of about 17 gold coins every month. After deducting various expenses, the family currently has a total of 175 gold coins in assets.
It's a pity that neither Byrne nor Irene can successfully digest the current potion.
Moreover, the first two steps of sequence power are relatively easy to climb. Starting from the third step requires not only extraordinary materials but also "rituals", making it much more difficult to advance.
As for whether to give Chris sequence powers, they all felt that the child was too young and would be better able to master extraordinary powers until he was ten years old.
A few days later, in the dead of night, Eileen and Byrne had to discuss a serious question in the basement, that is, should they tell Margaret the secret about the Fisher family?
Erin shook her head in a low voice and said calmly:
"If it were a few years ago, I would have agreed to tell the whole story without hesitation, and it wouldn't even matter whether I drank blood or not. But as I gain more experience, I won't agree so easily."
"The Six Orthodox Churches' aversion to heretical sects has reached an extreme level. If she reports us or accidentally leaks secrets, everyone in the Fisher family will be completely wiped out."
She paused for a moment before speaking, and then continued firmly and without mercy:
"So, I still stick to the original principles. It requires the consent of three core family members to recruit new members into 'Morning', and all followers of the cult must take the blood of the Fisher family."
Byrne was stunned for a while and couldn't help but wonder: "It only requires the consent of the three core family members. Do you mean we have to wait until Chris grows up?"
Erin nodded and continued calmly: "With Chris's level of maturity, I want to wait until he can participate in decision-making in a few years."
Byrne does not deny this. Chris's reticence is indeed very reliable and sensible, even to the point of being "weird".
"Okay, let's wait a few more years for this matter. After all, it's extremely important. At this stage, we need to test her views on faith first."
After the exchange, he quickly returned to his wife. Unless necessary, Byrne almost never wanted to stay away from Margaret and his children.
