Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 203 Steam locomotive, railway, lion collegiality
Time breaks like a kite string and is fleeting.

Two years have passed like this. Darren Fisher has not returned to the Fisher family for two full years since he was captured. However, according to Tio's "family management" ability, it can be confirmed that He is not dead.

However, no one knows his exact situation at this moment.

At first, Byrne was always worried about his son, but now he has forcefully adapted. He just prays for Darren once a week at the altar on the second underground floor.

As time goes by, the number of extraordinary beings under the Fisher family has increased, but starting from the third generation, the Dawn Walkers all hide their abilities.

Even the three brothers of the Dagger Brotherhood have so far shown themselves as ordinary people and never revealed their true situation.

Even Yag, Inna, and Momir in the second generation of Dawnbearers have not revealed their true power. In fact, only Sava, who joined the army, showed himself as a transcendent.

Therefore, the outside world did not know that the real Fisher family had expanded to a terrifying level, and they thought that they only relied on recruitment to obtain a small number of extraordinary vassals. Among the many viscount families on the east coast in history, they could only be counted among them. To a mediocre level.

The Order of Dawn remains secretive and cautious.

It's just that the so-called "Lost Order" has grown stronger and stronger, at least in the legends that the people have added fuel to the fire.

Viscount Best inherited Viscount Xavier's research and allowed steam engines to be built one after another in the shipyard. They will gradually replace traditional sailboats.

"If I can reach the fourth step, the situation will change again, huh."

Then, Byrne and Viscount Best discussed the design of steam locomotives and the construction of railways, and finally decided to lay the first railway in Seat in the near future.

However, Karl just listened to the prayers of those people, could not do anything to them, and could not communicate effectively.

Infrastructure construction in Nasir Town is gradually being rolled out. Some of Byrne's grand plans will take decades to complete, and he is not even sure that he will see the day when they are realized.

"It's just that by then, the rise of the Fisher family will become more exaggerated in the eyes of the outside world, and it will definitely attract the attention of more forces."

By strengthening the education of Nasir's townspeople, his mastery of the power of the third ladder has been increasing day by day. The "occult scholar" who was originally scheduled to take ten years to fully digest it many years ago has now completely mastered it.

Today's Fisher family is very powerful, but it is still far away from the Lion family that became the overlord of the East Coast, and it is not even as good as the original Eagle family.

Byrne knew it wasn't enough.

Next, he only needs to find and complete the ceremony to advance to the fourth step of the road to knowledge! With extraordinary strength, he can advance by leaps and bounds, and then he will become a very important powerhouse in the East Coast Province!
The Fisher family finally reached a deal with the "Heart of Gold", another great lord on the Sunless Sea. In the past two years, they made a lot of money by selling canned sunshine. However, more than one shop selling canned sunshine soon appeared. power.

But Byrne can imagine and is willing to believe that that day will definitely come!

Byrne was not surprised by this. After all, "Sun Gold" had sold its technology to more than one person at the Alchemy Council, so it was normal for it to spread.

With the construction of factories one after another and the explosive inflow of a large number of people, Fein City's natural environment has become very bad, but all of this seems to have nothing to do with the Lion Family.

Today, several important members of the Lion family held a secret meeting in a special conference hall.

And he has focused on building his own Godly Envoy, wanting to create a mysterious existence composed purely of spiritual power, giving him the immersive joy of assembling a Gundam every moment.

"It's not easy to finally reach this point..."

Many people are gradually realizing that a truly unique era has arrived.

I don’t know since when, many people have connected the black cross light in the spiritual world with the Lost Lord, and they have tried how to communicate with Karl.

This luxurious manor has been renovated repeatedly in recent years and looks increasingly luxurious. With the gradual advent of industrialization, the Lion family has also collected more and more benefits from it.

It will run directly from the city of Fein to the town of Nasir, but it has not been officially named yet.

Fein City, the manor of the Lion Family.

The lion family's special conference hall is well-lit, but it is very airtight. Servants are never allowed to enter this house.

The white-haired Director Renzo looked tired and stared at a map and said: "The front is still advancing, but Abel said that the war there is very tight, and he hopes that we can provide all kinds of support."

Viscount Best was already very old, leaning on a cane, squinting his eyes and nodded.

"Well, actually the battle lines don't lie. Since our battle lines are still advancing, it means that our combined forces with King Rhea have the upper hand."

He changed the topic and said:
"But Abel is really struggling, because Rhea, which was originally divided, is now united. More and more powerful monarchs are joining the battlefield, and an entire army may be wiped out through a surprise attack at any time."

At this point, Viscount Best laughed.

"Hahahaha, originally those nobles were not completely loyal to the Meyer family! As a result, Rhea's royal family asked us Siyat people to serve as reinforcements, and their prestige suddenly exploded!"

Director Renzo nodded. It was indeed the case. The country of Rhea had a mountainous terrain. Although it was a country in name only, it was always in a loose feudal state.

Therefore, many lords were extremely independent. They were wavering in the early stages of the war. They didn't know which side to support, so they just waited and watched silently.

There is no need to choose now, because the old king of Rhea has already made the choice for those people.

The king took the lead in treason and joined forces with the Siyat people!
Half a year ago, the already elderly Viscount Best left the front line due to injury and returned to Fein City to recuperate. As a result, he was delayed for half a year without going to the front line again.

Many people don't know the real reason. In fact, even within the Lion family, few people know what's going on.

Viscount Best certainly has a very important secret.

That is, he is about to break through to the monarch level!

In the more than a hundred years since the establishment of the Four Eastern Kingdoms, except for the ten major families and churches, there has never been a new powerful monarch among the various legal forces on the surface.

Therefore, the fact that he was about to break through the monarch was too involved and too extensive. Viscount Best had always kept it a secret.

Only the most important people in the Lion family and Byrne Fisher knew about this.

"I am about to be promoted to monarch. At that time, the Rhine family and the Lion family will become new big families besides the ten major families. That will be the day when the pattern of the four eastern countries is reorganized!"

Viscount Best's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and the members of the Lion family were also full of respect and admiration!
In all these years, no such person has appeared in Si Yat, and no such thing has ever happened!
Director Renzo quickly frowned, looked at his brother seriously, and said slowly: "Some people in the ten major families will definitely try to stop us, and they don't want new forces to come to the table."

"Renzo, it doesn't matter, because there is the Black Iron Duke of the Roman family. He has decided to fully support my breakthrough..." Viscount Best paused and said with a smile: "He is also thinking about the Roman family after his death. I’m looking for a way out and a helping hand, and I definitely don’t want anything to happen to me. Although the Black Iron Duke himself must be on the front line, when that time comes, the other two powerful monarchs from the Luomen family will come to Fein City to help me.”

Director Renzo thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and continued:

"The Fisher family is getting stronger and stronger. It can even be said that apart from us, Fisher is almost the strongest family on the east coast."

Viscount Best did not deny it, but nodded calmly, and then asked: "It is true, so what?"

Renzo was silent for a long time, and finally decided to speak out these words.

"What I mean is, should the Lion family be on guard against them, just in case, I mean just in case, if your breakthrough fails, in a few decades our family might be overtaken by Fisher. "

Viscount Best also fell into deep silence, his eyes showing a hint of exhaustion and some reluctance.

"I don't really want to do that."

"Lenzo, I like the man Byrne Fisher very much. Most of the people I have met over the years are full of promises and nice words, but in fact they either mean what they say or they will change themselves over time. Mind, and Byrne is a different person.”

"There are very few people in the entire world who truly value love and justice. Even people who are connected by blood may betray each other!"

Because of those last words, Renzo couldn't help but roll his eyes. He also understood that his elder brother valued Byrne very much, but he didn't expect that there was such a deep relationship between the two.

He couldn't help but complain: "You just treat him like half a son, Best."

"Hahahaha, it's not like you can't understand this."

Viscount Best laughed and did not deny it at all.

Renzo continued: "So you really don't plan to take some measures against the Fisher family, just because you believe in Byrne and think he will never betray you?"

Viscount Bester narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"I even sincerely hope that one day Byrne can reach the level of a monarch. Deep in my heart, I feel that he and I will have hundreds of years of cooperation in the future."

Renzo suddenly raised his voice and shouted:

"But I want to remind you one thing, what if Byrne does not arrive at the monarch! If Byrne is no longer in the Fisher family, his love and righteousness will not be inherited!"

"The worst-case scenario is that you fail, Byrne also fails, but Chris or someone else succeeds! Can you still guarantee the relationship between the two families in that state? What about decades later? So deal with it in advance The Fisher family's plan is in line with your character, Best!"

Renzo paused, narrowed his eyes and said:

"You should be able to feel it. The Fisher family has always had some kind of deep hidden trump card, probably like your diabolical secrets, otherwise they would not be able to solve almost certain dilemmas time and time again."

After listening to his brother's inner words, Viscount Best fell into a deep silence. Finally, he nodded slightly and said, "I understand. What you said makes sense. It's true that I'm a little confused."

"I will figure out a way to deal with the Fishers before I get to the Monarch."

He stared at the worried Renzo calmly, and sure enough, even his younger brother didn't notice his hidden heart.

Ha ha.

Although they did have some feelings for each other, Best had never truly trusted the Fisher family.

It was just because the "emotional card" was really useful that he played the emotional card against Byrne from the beginning.

Decades of getting along will indeed produce emotions, but Best believes that he will not fall into emotions. He already knew this when he killed Xavier.

The old man narrowed his malicious eyes and smiled slightly.

After he becomes a powerful monarch, whether he will support Byrne and Chris to become new monarchs or feed them to the devil will naturally depend on Fisher's loyalty and threat level!

-

Some time later, Viscount Best came to the town of Nasir in person and arrived at Fisher Manor secretly.

He quickly came to the living room and looked at Byrne with a smile.

"Long time no see. The thing I want to discuss this time is not steam locomotives or railways, but other very important things."

Byrne was silent for a moment, then stared at Viscount Best and said, "Why don't you let me make a guess."

"monarch!"

The two of them spoke the word in perfect agreement, and then both smiled.

Next, Byrne and Viscount Best discussed his upcoming breakthrough as a monarch very seriously.

Byrne was silent for a long time after pouring the black tea, and asked solemnly: "Your Excellency Best, what do you think is the chance of reaching that glorious palace?"

Viscount Best spoke bluntly and answered seriously:
"The possibility is very high, 50%, and the power of the Luomen family will give great support. As long as this matter is not leaked, I will most likely be able to break through to the monarch level smoothly."

Fifty percent?

Byrne looked at Viscount Best in surprise. The 50% probability was very high. Basically, there was no chance of a breakthrough higher than 50%.

No matter how talented a person is, there is a 50% chance of failure!
For most people, from the transformation stage to becoming a monarch, the possibility of actually opening the door is only 20 to 30%!

Viscount Best continued:

"Most of the powerful people in the country are in Rhea. If the news about my breakthrough is leaked, there won't be many people who will cause trouble. But at that time, anyone who can help will be very important."

Of course Byrne understood the meaning of the words, nodded seriously, and said: "I understand! The Fisher family will definitely help you with all its strength!"
