For more than a year after Lucius's death, Byrne often had nightmares. Sometimes he would find himself standing in a snowy forest with his face covered in blood, and an uncontrollable feeling of loneliness arose deep in his heart.
There were several dead bodies in the forest, including Irene, Margaret, and Chris, which made Byrne feel extremely cold all over.
Lucius' voice of questioning and disdain would come from behind him.
"You failed to protect them, Byrne, I misjudged you."
Huge fear and guilt instantly engulfed him, and Byrne would often wake up from his sleep at this time.
Death is never far away, and there are still sixteen and a half years of preparation time before the war between Siat and Rhea is almost inevitable.
If something is not done, the tragic situation of the Fisher family being exploited during the war will repeat itself.
The east coast is northeast of Siyat. If the Rhea people invaded the country, they would definitely burn, kill and loot in this area. In fact, many old people in Siat were deeply impressed by the ferocity and savagery of the Rhea people.
In the quiet and tidy basement, brother and sister Byrne and Irene discussed the next various countermeasures.
Byrne took out paper and pen and put them on the table and began to draw circles to indicate the current situation.
"In the upper class of the East Coast, the two people with the highest status and the strongest power are those two people, Earl Hoven, who is the governor of the East Coast, and the Bishop of Storm from the Church of Storms."
"Both of them have reached the level of a lower-ranking monarch, and the big families behind them, the Huo Wen Family and the Church of Storms on the east coast, have more than a dozen metamorphosis-level transcendents."
Eileen nodded in agreement. Both the Governor and the Storm Bishop had a transcendent status and held great power. Almost most matters could be decided with a single word.
Byrne continued, writing and drawing in his hands:
"The second is the power of the seven viscount families and the many Orthodox Churches on the east coast. The strongest viscount family now is the Leon Lion family of Best. The city of Fein is under their control, and so is Best himself. A transcendent person who has transformed into a superior person.”
"The second is the Eagle Family, which controls three towns on the east coast. There are five metamorphosis extraordinary people in their family. The leader is Viscount Xavier, the 'Black Eagle', who has the momentum to challenge the authority of the Lion Family. Moreover, their relationship with the Governor Earl The relationship is excellent.”
The feud between the Lion and the Eagle families had been going on for several years, and was heard throughout the upper crust of the East Coast.
The two families' methods were quite civilized at first, but in the past year, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, even to the point of assassinating supporters of both sides.
Fortunately, it is no longer the era of feudal lords, otherwise the civil war would have broken out long ago.
The Eagle Family really hopes to drive away the Lion Family and occupy the increasingly rapidly developing Fein City, and their methods become increasingly vicious. However, Earl Hoven, who is the governor of the east coast, has a vague intention of supporting it.
At this point, Byrne paused and said with some helplessness: "We have already taken sides because of the cooperation between the Fisher family and Mr. Jin."
"Mr. Jin has channels and connections because he is the brother-in-law of Viscount Best. We are now regarded as 'supporters of the Lion' in the eyes of the upper class circles on the East Coast."
Erin also sighed and said: "When we decided to cooperate, we had no idea about the situation on the entire east coast, otherwise we would not have been so hasty."
The methods used by domestic nobles to fight each other include assassination, but it is not so dangerous that one may die at any time, but hidden dangers do exist.
"Now that the Fisher family has a lot of excess funds, and our demand for extraordinary materials is not very large for the time being, it is time to purchase some mysterious items to sacrifice to the great Lord of the Lost."
"In addition, I also plan to build an orphanage to take in the homeless orphans of Nasir."
Orphanage?
Byrne thought for a moment and knew that she was definitely not showing kindness without any intention, so he asked Eileen seriously:
"What are you going to do?"
Erin looked at the piece of paper with the division of forces and quietly told her plan:
"I will hire people to teach them knowledge, give them all kinds of instruction myself, select the useful children among them and give them blood, so that they can join the team of Dawn. We still have too few reliable manpower now."
She paused and said firmly: "I believe that children who have been trained and educated since childhood will be more reliable than ordinary followers."
Byrne nodded, then fell into silence with his hands folded across his chest, as if he was hesitating about something very important, and finally spoke slowly:
"I'm still researching how to enhance the effects of the Fisher family's blood."
"If blood can control extraordinary beings, we can make potions according to the potion formula, and it is not impossible to give some followers low-level sequence powers."
Both of them knew one thing very well: being able to create extraordinary beings was the Fisher family's greatest advantage.
It's just that when Lucius was still there, several people in the Fisher family discussed this matter. At that time, Lucius firmly disagreed with giving sequence powers to people who were not related by blood.
Because the blood of the Fisher family can currently only affect ordinary people and cannot affect extraordinary people, then they will only create an existence that they are completely unable to control, and if that person has the idea of betrayal, everything in the family will be over.
The Fisher family's motto is "discretion" and "secrecy," and they can never place each other's loyalty on such illusory things as "trust between people" and "cultivation of kindness."
The breakthrough point in the whole thing lies in Byrne, who controls the power of the "Apothecary" sequence.
He vaguely felt that the effects of the Fisher family's blood could be enhanced, and he had been conducting research on blood.
Having said this, Byrne suddenly picked up the pen and drew a new circle on the paper.
"By the way, I almost forgot to mention that in addition to the forces on the surface, there is also a powerful heretical force on the east coast, the Poseidon Order with a long history, and they also have metamorphosis-level extraordinary beings within them."
"It is said that the Church of Storms and the Poseidon Order were originally a force, but later they split and became extremely hostile to each other."
"Because the Poseidon Order does not recognize the Storm Lord as their Poseidon at all."
Three months later, Nasir's first orphanage was established. The new mayor came very happily and led local people with status to congratulate him.
The name of the orphanage is "Dawn".
In the entire town of Nasir, there are more than thirty orphans under the age of twelve who can join the orphanage. Some of the orphans lost their parents because of the sudden invasion of the Rhyans in winter. They naturally resisted. The Fisher family of Rhea has a favorable opinion.
The Fisher family spent about thirty-five gold coins to establish the orphanage. It cost an additional six gold coins every month to maintain the basic operation of the orphanage, and it was necessary to arrange for older children to learn crafts to make money.
The orphanage was spacious and dim, and the thick stone walls revealed traces of the vicissitudes of time. Irene led several caregivers here, and the first batch of children had been waiting for a long time.
"Children, from today on I will be your caregiver."
Eileen looked calmly at the children who were yearning for the future but anxious, and looked at her curiously and uneasily.
A tenderness deep in her heart gradually emerged.
But Eileen also knows one thing deeply: love must be differentiated.
Chris, Byrne and Darren, they are the most important people in their lives. Apart from that, everything about their body and soul belongs to the great Lord of Loss.
At this moment, she suddenly felt the will of the great Lost Lord!
He seemed to be directing himself to pay attention to one of the little girls among the children, and Erin looked over immediately.
It was a girl with light green hair and an optimistic smile that was different from the others, but her right leg was extremely obviously severely disabled.
Is she special?
