Chapter 203 Steam locomotive, railway, lion deliberation

Time is like a kite string that breaks, passing in a flash.

Two years have passed. Since Darren Fisher was captured, he has not returned to the Fisher family for two years. However, according to Theo's "family management" ability, he is not dead.

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

At first, Byrne was always worried about his son, but now he has forced himself to adapt. He just prays for Darren once a week in the sacrificial hall on the second floor of the basement.

As time goes by, the number of extraordinary people under the Fisher family has increased, but the Dawnbreakers from the third generation have all hidden their abilities.

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

Even the second generation of Dawnbreakers, Yag, Inna, and Momir, have not revealed their true strength. In fact, only Sava, who joined the army, showed himself as an extraordinary person.

Therefore, the outside world had no idea that the real Fisher family had expanded to a terrifying extent. They thought that they only relied on recruiting a small number of extraordinary vassals, and could only be regarded as mediocre among the many viscount families on the East Coast in history.

The Dawn Cult was still secretive and cautious.

It was just that the so-called "Lost Cult" had grown stronger and stronger, at least in the legends that people exaggerated.

I don't know when it started, many people connected the black cross light in the spiritual world with the Lord of the Lost, and they tried to communicate with Carl.

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

Moreover, he had focused on building his own messenger, wanting to create a mysterious existence composed purely of spiritual power, and every moment there was an immersive joy of assembling Gundam.

The infrastructure of Nasir Town was gradually laid out, and some of Byrne's grand plans would take decades to complete, and he was not even sure that he would see the day when it would be realized.

But Byrne could imagine and was willing to believe that day would definitely come!

By strengthening the education level of the Nasir townspeople, his mastery of the third-tier power has been increasing day by day. The "mystic scholar" who was supposed to take ten years to fully digest many years ago has now completely mastered it.

"Finally I have come to this step, it is really not easy..."

Next, he only needs to find and complete the ceremony of advancing to the fourth tier of the knowledge road! The extraordinary power will advance by leaps and bounds, and then he will become an important strongman in the East Coast Province!

The Fisher family finally reached a deal with another great lord "Golden Heart" on the Lightless Sea. In two years, they made a lot of money by selling canned sunshine. However, soon there was more than one force selling canned sunshine.

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

The Fisher family is now very powerful, but it is still far from reaching the Lion family, which has become the overlord of the East Coast, and it is even worse than the Eagle family at the time.

Byrne knows that everything is not enough.

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

"But 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."

Fin City, the manor of the Lion Family.

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

With the construction of factories one after another and the explosive influx of a large number of people, the natural environment of Fin City has become very bad, but it seems that all has nothing to do with the Lion Family.

Viscount Best inherited Viscount Xavier's research and built steam locomotives from the shipyard one after another, which will gradually replace traditional sailing ships.

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 Syat in the near future.

It will go directly from Fin City to Nasir Town, but it has not yet been officially named.

Many people gradually realized that a truly unique era has arrived.

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

The special conference room of the Lion Family was well-lit, but very closed, and servants were never allowed to enter this room.

The white-haired Director Renzo looked tired, staring at a map, and said: "The battle line is still advancing, but Abel said that the war over there is very tight, and he hopes that we can provide support in all aspects."

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

"Well, in fact, the battle line will not lie. Since our battle line is still advancing, it means that our joint army with King Rhea has the upper hand."

He changed the subject and said:

"But Abel is indeed struggling, because the originally fragmented Rhea is now united, and more and more monarchs and powerful men have joined the battlefield. It is possible to wipe out an entire army through a surprise attack at any time."

At this point, Viscount Bester 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 is about to break through the monarch is too involved and too extensive. Viscount Best has 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, and he has decided to fully support my breakthrough..."

Viscount Best paused for a moment and said with a smile: "He is also looking for a way out and a helping hand for the Roman family after his death. He never wants anything to happen to me. Although the Black Iron Duke himself must sit on the front line, at that time, 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. There was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes, as well as 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 as 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 the Fisher family does not have Byrne, 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 calmly at Renzo, who was worried. As expected, even his brother didn't notice his hidden heart.

Hehe.

Although there was some affection, Best never really trusted the Fisher family.

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

Decades of getting along will indeed produce emotions, but Best is very sure that he will not fall into emotions. When he killed Xavier, he already knew this.

The old man narrowed his eyes with deep malice and smiled slightly.

When he became a powerful monarch, whether to support Byrne and Chris to become the new monarch or feed them to the devil, it naturally depends on Fisher's loyalty and threat level!

——

After a while, Viscount Best came to Nasir Town in person and arrived at Fisher Manor secretly.

He soon came to the reception room and looked at Byrne with a smile.

"Long time no see. This time I want to discuss not the steam locomotive, nor the railway, but something else very important."

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

"Monarch!"

The two of them said the word in tacit understanding, and then smiled.

Next, Byrne and Viscount Best discussed his upcoming breakthrough to the monarch very seriously.

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

Viscount Best spoke frankly and answered seriously:

"The probability is very high, 50%, and the power of the Roman family will give great support. As long as this matter is not leaked, I will probably break through to the monarch level more smoothly."

50%?

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

Even a genius has a 50% chance of failure!

For most people, from the transformation period to the monarch, the possibility of actually opening that door is only 20% to 30%!

Viscount Best continued:

"Most of the powerful people in the country are in Rhea. If the news of my breakthrough is leaked, there will not be many people who will come to make trouble. But at that time, any person who can help will be very important."

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