Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 89 Baron Family
  A full ten days passed before the assistant priest of the Bishop of the Church of Storms arrived at Nasir.

He met Byrne and the old priest in the church.

"you again?"

Assistant Priest Zain still remembers Byrne. The two had a chance encounter a few years ago because of the Son of the Abyss incident.

He sat on the chair, squinting his eyes and looking up and down at Byrne, feeling that the man had become much calmer.

"A few years ago, you told me that you were a bloodline knight and a transformation-type spellcaster. It didn't matter whether you concealed it or not. Now that you have reached the level of qualitative transformation, you must explain it to me carefully."

As an auditor, he also has joint and several responsibilities. If the person being audited does not meet the qualifications and ends up becoming a baron, Zain will also be punished after the incident is exposed.

Byrne wonders, shouldn't it be at the "metamorphosis" level? Why is the other party talking about qualitative change?

In the common language of Oden, metamorphosis and qualitative change are two completely different words, so he can easily hear the difference.

But Byrne was not stupid enough to remind the assistant priest that he was wrong. He just started to show off the spells he had mastered.

What he wants to disguise is a "change type caster" who has reached the second level.

After the caster reaches the second level of "transformation" through cultivation inheritance and magic potion, his spiritual power will increase several times, and his output efficiency and recovery efficiency will increase.

At the same time, the number of spell models that can be remembered in the mind increases from the original three to five.

The biggest difference is that after the manipulation of mental power becomes more acute, second-level spellcasters can master several general spell techniques.

The five general spellcasting skills are "declaration", "silent casting", "expansion", "twin" and "strengthening".

By consuming several times their spiritual power, they can achieve completely different new effects for their next spell.

It may be to "declare" one's spell effects in advance in exchange for an increase in spell casting accuracy, or to increase the "expansion" of the spell's effect range, or to "twins" who release the same spell twice at the same time without making a sound. "Silent hair", and the purest "strengthening" that enhances the power of spells.

The spell that Byrne wants to demonstrate is the "sketch" that he most skillfully uses in daily life.

He did not show his "prefabricated paintings", but painted on the spot while mumbling words to pretend he was reciting a spell.

Nowadays, the fragility effect caused by his "sketching" has been greatly improved, and he can even make steel as fragile as old clothes.

"It is indeed not an effect that a spell caster at the origin level can achieve. It also poses a great threat to the transcendent at the metamorphosis level."

The assistant priest looked at a pair of iron armor that was easily torn into pieces and nodded thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, what do you think of the word qualitative change? Is it much better than metamorphosis?"

Byrne was startled for a moment, then responded quickly and said:

"Indeed, the process from the first level to the second level can be explained by the saying that quantitative change finally leads to qualitative change, which sounds more appropriate than the simple transformation of things."

"Okay, I think so too." The assistant priest smiled and nodded happily.

"The church is now considering whether to change the name of the second level."

change name?
  Byrne fell into deep thought and felt that the matter should be more than just changing the name.

The assistant priest stood up with his hands behind his back and said slowly:

"The main reason is that some old guys don't agree. In fact, it's not just 'degeneration' and 'qualitative change'. Many rules that were set hundreds of years ago or even earlier should also be changed."

"Do you think what I said is right?"

Byrne nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "That is indeed the case. Both knowledge and rules need to progress in order to be able to continuously adapt to the changing times."

The assistant priest burst out laughing and said, "Hahahahahaha, yes, Baron Byrne, it seems that you and we have the same idea."

"Times have changed, and a little change is needed within the church!"

The old priest stood silent, with a wry smile on his face.

But Byrne smiled and nodded, but deep in his heart there was a wave of turmoil.

I have long heard that the situation in several major churches is unstable. Have the internal divisions and struggles in the Church of Storms reached the point where they have been made public to outsiders?
  The Fisher family had already predicted the time when the assistant priest would come, and the celebration banquet they were going to hold happened to be on this day. If he had to wait one more day, the very busy assistant priest didn't want to stay any longer.

However, seeing that the time was just right and that Byrne’s answer satisfied him, Zain finally attended the celebration banquet.

There were quite a lot of people coming to this celebration banquet, as many as hundreds of people.

Not only the rich and powerful people in Nasir Town, but also the knight families and powerful families in many surrounding villages sent people.

After everyone saw Zain, Bishop Storm's deputy, everyone was extremely surprised and tried every means to please this truly important man.

Zain has always maintained an indifferent attitude, only taking the initiative to say a few words to Bayn and the old priest.

His status is extremely high, second only to the Storm Bishop and the Governor of the East Coast.

In the east coast province with millions of people, only Viscount Best, the "Fox" of the Lion family, and Viscount Xavier, the "Black Eagle" of the Eagle family, can stand on an equal footing with Zain.

And compared to the intimidating Storm Bishop, the busy assistant priest is more like a person with real power.

Therefore, Zain, an ordinary knight and rich man, had no energy or ideas at all. In the end, he got tired and left the field early to rest.

Byrne clearly felt that everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the boss left, and the tension immediately dropped a lot.

But everyone looked at him, Eileen and other members of the Fisher family with more respect.

Especially those who are not from the knight families in Nasir Town.

They had heard for a long time that the Fisher family in Nasir Town was very powerful, but they never knew the real situation. Now that they met, they found out that this guy was indeed very powerful, and was even related to a big shot in the Church of Storms.

At this moment, Vanessa ran over and said in Irene's ear: "Dean, someone important is here again."

"Who?" Erin asked immediately.

Vanessa answered calmly: "People from two baron families from around Nasir Town came together."

Not surprisingly.

Eileen nodded. It was normal for neighboring families to come to visit, participate in the celebration banquet, and get closer to the future baron family.

But there was one thing that surprised her.

Are the two baron families who are rumored to be very hostile actually coming together?

Just to the west and south of Nasir Town are two baron families, the Keyes family and the Leander family respectively.

The "Black Stone Iron Dragon", the knight bloodline of the Keith family, has the power to transform into a dragon, so it is also known as the "Dragon Scale Family". The family estate is in the west of Nasir Town and controls three knight families.

The Leandre family is located in the south of Nasir Town. Its bloodline power is the "Forest Dragon Mammoth", which can control plants and control two knight families.

Their two families have always been hostile to each other. They often have disputes and even fights, and even kill members of rival families.

Soon, Byrne, Irene and others saw the arrival of two baron families, who were the heads of their respective families.

The head of the Keyes family is a middle-aged man with neat and luxurious clothes. He is tall, slightly dark-skinned, with three-dimensional facial features as if carved by a knife, and broad shoulders.

The most noteworthy thing is the pair of orange eyes like snake pupils, which have a devilish feeling.

The head of the Leander family is an old man who looks kind-hearted, in his sixties, and slightly fat.

He squinted his eyes and stared at Byrne and others, thinking about something.

Byrne smiled, but deep down he knew that both families were uninvited guests.

In recent months, word of Baron Hoving's insanity has spread throughout the four towns along the east coast.

After the Keyes family and the Leander family received accurate information, they frequently conducted tests on the almost ownerless town of Nasir.
