Chapter 23 Promotion, Second Order Sequence
Taylor family.
Their family is one of the four major knight families in Nasir Town, and is probably the strongest. The family's first heir, Robert, has a very good relationship with Byrne.
There is a bathhouse in Nasir Town that is exclusively open to wealthy people. After bathing, the two people sat in the steam sauna to fully relieve their fatigue.
Byrne turned his head and looked at his blond and thin friend for a long time. He hesitated to speak, but finally said:
"Robert, you may have forgotten about the final payment of our Fisher family's investment."
Robert smiled and was silent for a while, then said:
"Final payment? Oh my god, Byrne, do you have to say this here?"
Byrne frowned slightly, and when he saw Robert, whom he vaguely regarded as his brother, he suddenly raised his voice and said loudly and dissatisfied to him:
"Didn't I tell you earlier that I will use the money to buy new machines in the empire, and then sell them to the mine owners in Siyate? The profits for our two families will be multiplied several times. Now I have real money on hand. No extra funds!”
Byrne clenched his palms and remained as unmoved as possible. He took a deep breath and said calmly:
"That's what you said half a year ago, Robert. We can't delay it any longer. Our family is in urgent need of money recently."
Robert said nothing, stood up and left with a cold face, but was violently grabbed by Byrne.
Just when he was about to get angry or even yell, he suddenly saw the ferocity in Byrne's eyes and was shocked.
Robert had only seen that fierce, wolf-like look in his family from his uncle. He knew how miserable a group of people who had deceived his uncle died in the end.
After realizing that Byrne was no longer the curious and timid little brother, Robert relaxed his shoulders and said:
"That's it, how about I pay back half of what we agreed on first? Fifteen gold coins is quite a lot."
Byrne didn't want to completely quarrel with his friend, and fifteen gold coins were indeed enough.
"Okay, I agree." He nodded extremely calmly.
Robert smiled and hugged him, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, brother, I actually don't want to delay it, it's just that business matters are really difficult to do."
After leaving the bath, Byrne sighed. If he hadn't made a promise in front of his father, he actually wouldn't have wanted to be so tough.
Pretending to be a strong and fierce person is not suitable for him, but his father Lucius said that he must learn how to be tough with his "friends", otherwise he will drag down the Fisher family sooner or later.
Last week, civil war broke out suddenly in Rhea, a neighboring country to the north.
Some of the fighting nobles believed that the king was too weak and wanted to tear up the remaining ten years of the peace treaty between the Kingdom of Rhea and the Kingdom of Siyat and take back the land once occupied by the Siyat people by force.
The king's side still has an overwhelming advantage, and it won't take long for this civil war to be settled.
However, people are panicking. Although the war in the north has not really reached Siyate, prices in various areas in the northern part of Siyate have soared instantly.
And the price of extraordinary materials, which were already high, actually started to rise gradually again.
The three members of the Fisher family decided at a family meeting to quickly raise funds to purchase a second-level extraordinary material because they would become increasingly unaffordable if they delayed.
Byrne followed Robert to get the money and then returned home in a carriage.
Sea Trader John, the man who had regained his health long ago, was waiting at home with a smile. He was chatting and laughing with Irene and Lucius, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a while.
"Mr. John, I haven't seen you for a while."
Byrne smiled and chatted with John. After a while, John said straight to the point:
"I'm willing to sell the second-level extraordinary material 'Wind Shark Black Blood'. I won't make any money from your Fisher family this time, just treat it as an investment in friendship. It only costs fifty gold coins."
Before the war between neighboring countries broke out, the average price of second-level extraordinary materials rose to about fifty-two gold coins. Now is a good time to stock up. The price John mentioned is indeed a friendly price.
Eileen smiled and said: "As expected of Mr. John, you are so generous. You are indeed very discerning. Investing in our Fisher family will definitely be the most worthwhile decision in your life."
John smiled and said nothing. He knew that money was important, but now that the situation was tense, the value of force was the most appreciable of all things.
After several years of contact, he could realize that the members of the Fisher family were all very powerful extraordinary beings, and they were indeed worthy of close friendship.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the powerful power that Erin possesses is extremely worth investing in. Who’s family won’t get sick?
He had only heard of healing spellcasters who had reached the third level of "Monarch", or "forbidden level" mysterious objects with such powerful healing power.
There are only a handful of "Monarch"-level healing spellcasters in the entire Oden continent, while "Forbidden-level" mysterious items require a sufficient price to be paid each time they are cast.
He once suspected that Eileen of the Fisher family was hiding some forbidden mysterious item, but seeing how she released that power without any scruples, it didn't look like it at all.
Maritime merchant John stayed and had a formal dinner at Fisher's house. The next day, just as the blazing sun was rising, he personally came to bring the second-level extraordinary material "Wind Shark Black Blood" ".
After Merchant John left, the four members of the Fisher family gathered in the basement.
In the clean and tidy basement, there is a small but extremely exquisite altar, which enshrines an ordinary-looking transparent bottle.
Five-year-old Chris stood beside the adults silently with his hands behind his back, like a little "adult".
He is very cute, with blue eyes like the blue sky, and slightly messy silver-white hair on his head. Standing there with his hands behind his back, he looks like a large-scale work of art.
Chris is always quiet and frugal, and he may not speak once a day.
In this era, there is no concept of mental illness. The adults of the Fisher family originally thought that he had a brain problem, but later gradually figured out the situation.
He is simply too lazy to communicate with others.
The members of the Fisher family knelt down one after another, and Irene was at the front.
"Please, great Lord of the Lost, wherever your will reaches is the trajectory of our destiny."
"When your gaze falls, anyone who is stared at cannot escape, and when your voice sounds, the thread of fate has already stirred and echoed."
"We will present new mysteries to you, and please, great Lord of the Lost, give the Fisher family more power."
Carl felt the emotions of respect from everyone. The emotions of everyone who had contact with him would bring different experiences, such as the idea of betrayal, which was like a bug bite.
He calmly absorbed the spiritual power and characteristics from the extraordinary materials.
To expand the first step of the long steps to the godhood, multiple zero-level materials can be used as a substitute for a single main material, but this is no longer possible from the second level.
It is inevitable that higher-level extraordinary materials are used as main materials.
Carl's consciousness body once again came to the spiritual world, and the black cross light floated in the sky of the spiritual world, looking up and down at the sea of the spiritual world and many islands.
He skillfully found the brilliant "stars" in the infinite sky again, picked out an empty star from it, and dragged the spiritual characteristics of "Wind Shark Black Blood" into it.
Finally, Carl's consciousness connected the "star" with the "star" containing the "Fire Coral", linking the next step of the road to conquest!
The new "star" also burned with a brilliant golden-red flame, dazzling and fascinating, but the shadow contained in the flame was already a young man dancing with an elegant sword!
The sequence power is "Dueler"!
——
At the same time, many extraordinary people who had just fallen asleep all over the world woke up from their dreams.
They came to the snowy forest they had experienced a few years ago again, staring blankly at the ashes that had been burned out and piled into tall trees. Everything around them was solemn and silent.
However, the situation was different this time.
Not everyone was blank and passive. Some people had already studied all kinds of things about the spirit world in the past few years.
The extraordinary and powerful people who had prepared for several years and even caused the prices of extraordinary materials on the entire continent to rise collectively, all used their own mysterious methods that they had studied for several years.
They tried every means to leave a mark in the spirit world that would facilitate re-entry, and they never wanted to miss the hard-won opportunity.
