Chapter 42 Dawn Orphanage
More than a year after Lucius's death, Byrne often had nightmares. Sometimes he would find himself standing in a snowy forest with blood all over his face, and an irrepressible sense of loneliness arose in his heart.
There were several corpses in the forest, Irene, Margaret, and Chris, which made Byrne extremely cold.
Behind him, Lucius's questioning and disdainful voice would come.
"You failed to protect them, Byrne, I misjudged you."
Huge fear and guilt engulfed him in an instant, and Byrne would often wake up from his dream at this time.
Death is never far away. There are still sixteen and a half years of preparation time before the war between Syat and Rhea, which is almost inevitable.
If nothing is done, the tragic situation of the Fisher family being bullied during the war will be repeated.
The East Coast is northeast of Syat. If the Rhea invades the country, they will inevitably burn, kill and loot in this area. In fact, many Syat elders are deeply impressed by the brutality and barbarity of the Rhea.
In the quiet and tidy basement, Byrne and Irene discussed the various countermeasures for the next step.
Byrne took out a piece of paper and a pen and placed them on the table, and began to circle and write 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 Earl Hoven, the governor of the East Coast, and the Storm Bishop of the Storm Church."
"Both of them have reached the strength of the lower monarch, and the big family behind them, the Hoven family, and the Storm Church on the East Coast, have more than a dozen metamorphic extraordinary people."
Irene nodded in agreement. Both the governor and the Storm Bishop are in a superior position and hold great power. Almost most things can be decided by a single word.
Byrne continued, writing and drawing:
"The second is the power of the seven Viscount families and many Orthodox Churches on the East Coast. The strongest Viscount family now is the Leon Lion Family of Best. The city of Finn is under their control, and Best himself is also a Transcendental who has transformed and risen to a higher position."
"Then there is the Eagle Family, which controls three towns on the East Coast. There are five Transcendental in their family, and the leader is Viscount Xavier, the 'Black Eagle'. They have the momentum to challenge the authority of the Lion Family, and they have a very good relationship with the Governor Count."
The mutual struggle between the Lion and Eagle families has lasted for several years, and the entire upper class circle of the East Coast has heard of it.
The two families' methods were relatively civilized at the beginning, but the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse in the past year, and even developed to the extent of assassinating supporters of both sides.
The Eagle Family hopes to drive out the Lion Family and occupy the rapidly developing Finn City, and their methods are getting worse and worse, while Count Hoven, the Governor of the East Coast, has a hint of support.
At this point, Byrne paused and said helplessly: "We have already taken sides because of the cooperation between the Fisher family and Mr. Jin."
"Mr. Jin can have channels and connections because Viscount Best is his brother-in-law. We are now "lion supporters" 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 be so careless."
The means of fighting between domestic nobles include assassination, but it is not so dangerous that they may die at any time, but the hidden danger does exist.
"Now the Fisher family has a lot of extra funds, and our demand for extraordinary materials is not very large for the time being. It's time to buy some mysterious objects to sacrifice to the great Lord of the Lost."
"In addition, I also plan to build an orphanage to take in those homeless orphans in Nasir."
Orphanage?
Byrne thought for a moment and knew that she was not being kind without any intention, so he asked Irene seriously:
"What are you going to do?"
Irene looked at the paper with the division of forces and quietly told her plan:
"I will hire people to teach them knowledge, personally give them various instructions, select useful children and give them blood, so that they can join the Dawn team. We still have too few reliable people now."
She paused and said affirmatively: "I believe that those children who have been trained and educated since childhood will be more reliable than ordinary followers."
Byrne nodded, then fell silent with his hands on his chest, as if he was hesitating about something very important, and finally slowly said:
"I am still studying how to strengthen the influence of the Fisher family's blood."
"If the blood can control the extraordinary, we can make potions according to the potion formula, and it is not impossible to give some followers low-level sequence power."
They both knew one thing very well, that being able to create extraordinary people is the biggest advantage of the Fisher family.
It was just that when Lucius was still there, several people from the Fisher family had discussed this matter. At that time, Lucius firmly disagreed to give sequence power to people who were not related by blood.
Because the blood of the Fisher family can only affect ordinary people at present, and cannot affect extraordinary people. At that time, they will only create an existence that they cannot control at all, and if that person has the idea of betrayal, everything in the family will be over.
The motto of the Fisher family is "caution" and "secret", and they can't pin the other party's loyalty on illusory things such as "trust between people" and "cultivating gratitude".
The breakthrough point of the whole thing lies in Byrne, who controls the power of the "pharmacist" sequence.
He vaguely felt that the effect of the Fisher family's blood could be enhanced, and he had been doing research on blood.
At this point, Byrne suddenly picked up the pen and drew a new circle on the paper.
"By the way, I almost forgot to say that in addition to the open forces, there is also a powerful heretic force on the East Coast, the Poseidon Cult with a long history of inheritance, and they also have metamorphic extraordinary people within them."
"It is said that the Storm Church and the Poseidon Cult were originally a force, but later they split apart and hated each other very much."
"Because the Poseidon Cult does not recognize the Storm Lord as their Poseidon."
Three months later, the first orphanage in Nasir was established. The new mayor came very happily and led the local people of status to congratulate together.
The name of the orphanage is "Dawn".
There are more than 30 orphans under the age of twelve who can join the orphanage in the entire Nasir town. The reason why some orphans lost their parents was because of the sudden invasion of the Rhea people in winter. They naturally have a good impression of the Fisher family who resisted the Rhea people.
The Fisher family spent about 35 gold coins to build the orphanage. It costs an additional 6 gold coins every month to maintain the basic operation of the orphanage. It is necessary to arrange for the older children to learn skills to make money.
The orphanage is spacious and dim, and the thick stone walls reveal the vicissitudes of time. Irene led several caregivers here. The first batch of children have been waiting for a long time.
"Children, from today on, I will be your caregiver."
Irene looked calmly at the children who were yearning for the future and uneasy, and each pair of eyes looked at her curiously and uneasily.
A kind of tenderness from the depths of her heart gradually emerged.
But Irene also knew one thing deeply, love must be differentiated.
Chris, Byrne and Darren, they are the most important people in her life, and everything in her body and soul belongs to the great Lord of the Lost.
At this moment, she suddenly felt the will of the great Lord of the Lost!
He seemed to be guiding herself and paying attention to one of the little girls among those children. Irene looked over immediately.
She was a girl with light green hair, with an optimistic smile that was different from the others, but her right leg was severely disabled.
She was special?
