Chapter 117 New Blood Recipient

Another year passed, and the Fisher family was suddenly spurned by many nobles on the east coast for complicated reasons.

The initial stage of the naval war was not smooth. There were too many thousands of islands in the White Sea, and the number of the Syat alchemical battleships was too small.

The Syat alchemical type VII sailing battleship, with low side, cross sails, and cannons on both sides, used alchemy to enhance the overall power and defense, and was famous for its strong maneuverability and sturdy hull in the four eastern countries.

Its disadvantage is that the link resource requirements for constant medium and large alchemical arrays are extremely high, resulting in a sharp increase in construction costs, and the number of battleships that the Syat people can build is relatively small.

The Rhea people's naval level is very poor. At that time, the Syat people relied on their maritime advantages to severely damage the Rhea people, and even the Alchemical Type VII battleship was called "the devil's ship" by the Rhea people.

But in the war between the Syat people and the Poseidon Cult, the situation was completely reversed.

Hundreds of thousands of Poseidon followers live in settlements scattered across thousands of islands. When an enemy approaches, they immediately hide in the sea with the help of the sea tribe, and never confront the Syat army head-on.

When the Syat people are tired enough after staying on the sea, the Poseidon Church drives the sea tribe to attack directly from the bottom of the sea, which causes heavy casualties among the Syat people in the early stages of the war.

Even though the Storm Bishop changed his past decadence and rushed to the sea, launching sweeping strikes again and again, the Poseidon Church still fights according to the terrain.

There has always been a very important rumor that the Poseidon Church has produced a new monarch-level strongman, so the Storm Church and Syat nobles have been on guard for a long time.

However, the war lasted for two whole years, and no one encountered a monarch-level strongman. In the end, it can only be attributed to the rumors deliberately released by the Poseidon Church.

As for why the Fisher family was despised by many nobles, of course, it was because they had been hiding behind everyone to make a lot of money when many noble families had members killed or injured.

During the two years of war, the Fisher family's factory was almost open day and night, and the workers took turns to work. Every week, various foods to increase energy and medicines to recover from injuries were sent to the front line.

The Garcia family and the Eagle family would slander and attack the Lion family on various occasions, and Fisher has been their target many times recently.

Everyone is fighting hard on the front line, fighting the ugly sea creatures on the seabed every day, but the Fisher family is a vicious dog that can make money under the command of the sick lion, constantly sucking the blood of the Syat people!

To be honest, Byrne thinks this kind of speech is unreasonable. The military supplies produced by the Fisher family have never cut corners and have always been very responsible.

Moreover, logistics is very important in war. Although they only get a small part of the military supply orders, without the Fisher family's factory constantly producing military supplies, it will still have a certain impact on the front line.

However, the nobles who went to the battlefield together were naturally more empathetic, and public opinion was soon distorted. The Fisher family began to be despised by the upper class circles on the East Coast, and even earned the nicknames of "vampire" and "cowardly fisherman".

Not long ago, a viscount openly took out a live fish at a banquet, hoping that "fisherman" Byrne could process it on the spot, and many people burst into laughter.

Byrne, who is already 31 years old, is not angry. Making money comes at a price. It's okay to let them scold. Anyway, those who really dare to scold in person are enemies of the Lion Family and are unlikely to be friendly with the Fisher Family.

And they are laughing happily now, but they look really embarrassed when the bottom of the boat is pierced by the sea creatures at sea.

Finally, Yager, Sava, Inna, and Momir also returned from the military academy in Fein City.

Just as Irene said long ago, they will definitely return to the Fisher Family.

Because Fisher had tested their loyalty before sending them away. If they were the kind of people who didn't feel a sense of belonging to the family, they would not be selected at all.

Byrne and the others are not fools. How could they waste money and connections to cultivate someone who will not belong to the family?

So, a new ceremony of loss is about to begin, and the Fisher family will give birth to a new blood recipient.

——

Fisher Manor, Irene's bedroom.

Irene, dressed in black, sat calmly on the bed, looking at her younger brother Chris standing in front of her. The boy was taller than herself, and even a little shorter than Byrne.

She reached out and held his hand.

"What do you think, Chris?"

"..."

Chris was silent. Irene knew that he was a dull person, but she didn't care. She continued to talk.

"You are already sixteen years old and have held a coming-of-age ceremony. Even though I haven't discussed this with you before, I must talk about it now."

She hesitated for a moment, but still said very tactfully:

"Do you like Vanessa? How much do you like her? Do you want to be with her no matter what, or can you compromise?"

"Compromise" has many meanings. How to understand it specifically requires the specific judgment of each person's heart.

Chris remained silent, just calmly staring at his sister who loved him the most.

"..."

Erin was also silent for a long time before she couldn't help but continue to preach.

"Chris, I hope you can give birth to a child in the next two years. You also know the situation of our family. In fact, every extra child will be very important."

"The situation between Byrne and Margaret worries me a lot. He feels very guilty from the bottom of his heart. He can compensate her for almost everything except family interests, and he will never force Margaret to have another child. "

"Actually, I also feel very sorry for Margaret..."

Eileen couldn't help but sigh and continued:

"And I know your character best. Emotionally, you are a thousand times more awkward than Byrne and I. Alas."

"..."

The handsome Chris still didn't reply, but remained silent.

The atmosphere gradually became awkward. It wasn't until Erin stood up to leave that Chris slowly asked:

"I want her to be a wife."

Erin stopped and looked at her brother.

She originally wanted to say something like "Then help her become stronger" or "Make her worthy of you", but when she saw Chris's determined eyes, she recalled what Vanessa had heard in private through the mystic technique. There was a lot of crying in the room, and suddenly I couldn't say those words anymore.

So, Eileen finally just replied: "Okay, but you must become happy."

The two siblings who left the room met many servants in the corridor, and they all greeted them respectfully.

"Hello, Ms. Eileen", "Master Chris"...

The two quickly came to the basement of the manor and started preparing things for the loss ceremony in advance. In half an hour, members of the Fisher family would arrive one after another, and the loss ceremony would officially begin in two hours.

The third person who came was Momir. After nodding with the two, he knelt down quietly beside him, closed his eyes and prayed softly.

According to the plan formulated by the Fisher family, the calm Momier will become a new professional "policeman" in the future and collect relevant intelligence.

Irene felt that Mormir had a good chance of becoming a "pious man", and he had a very high degree of faith in the Lost Lord deep down in his heart.

Momir's parents both died from the Children of the Abyss summoned by the Poseidon Order.

He personally worships the Lost Lord who destroyed the Children of the Abyss, and feels that only the great Him can completely change the increasingly chaotic and desperate world.

Then came Yag and Sava. The two who were at war with each other a year ago are now almost inseparable. One is smooth and easy-going, the other is violent and aggressive, but they have become as close as brothers.

With sunny blond hair and full of aristocratic temperament, the smiling Yager immediately looked at the high altar and was attracted by the great sacred object that changed the Fisher family.

"Dean Eileen, I feel very honored. I have been waiting for this day for a long time and finally see Him. Finally..."

The next people to come were Bai En and Tio.

"Sorry, I was too busy. Did I almost come late?" Byrne asked immediately.

"No, there is still a lot of time." Erin shook her head.

Byrne is indeed very busy. The organizational structure of the Fisher family is getting bigger and bigger, and he is obviously too busy to handle it alone.

Vanessa, Archibald, Eric and others also arrived one after another.

Chris and Vanessa stared at each other for a moment.

The last person to come was Inna. She looked very nervous and anxious, completely speechless.

Byrne and Irene quickly realized something was wrong with her. Byrne nodded, and Irene took Inna to the corner and said:

"Inna, the ceremony is about to begin. Are you afraid? What's going on?"

Inna turned pale and said, "I, I'm scared, sorry, Dean, but I'm really scared."

Erin frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid of our master?"

Inna's legs were weak and her petite body almost lost her balance. She immediately shook her head and said with a cry:

"No, no, no, no, I shouldn't be afraid. I'm sorry, Dean Irene. I know that the Lord of Loss is the greatest existence. He will give us strength and everything!"

Eileen was silent for a moment and said slowly:

"As I said, the disappearance of that town was not done by us, Inna, but by those impostors who should have sunk into the abyss. My Lord is not an evil god... and you are not here to be a sacrifice."

Inna lowered her head and trembled, but Irene already understood what Inna was afraid of.

The notoriety of the Lost Believers had spread through the newspapers.

The people on the east coast, and even most of the Siyat people, all know that there is an extremely evil sect, the Lost Order, who madly sacrifice an entire town to the evil god!

And she was the most suspicious child, fearing that everything in the past few years was a scam, and that she would soon happily become a pathetic sacrifice to the evil god.

In fact, this method is not uncommon among heretical groups. Many low-level believers will become sacrifices to mysterious beings in a daze.

Although she could understand it, Irene was still unhappy and stopped comforting Inna with a straight face.

"The time is coming, get ready."

She said coldly: "Even if you really want to be a sacrifice, you are not qualified yet."

The Lost Ceremony was about to begin in half an hour, and just when Yag and the others thought they were the only new blood recipients, another person suddenly arrived.

The man is shorter, wearing a black suit, a mustache, his hair meticulously combed, and his eyes full of respect.

Granny Nada's eldest son, Moore Shelby, is the leader of the Brotherhood of Short Knives.

There was still blood on Moore's face and he was panting. He immediately bowed and said to Irene:

"Sorry, Ms. Eileen, I'm late, but there was something that had to be dealt with in Dongcheng District, but I have solved it now."

Yage's smile gradually faded a little. It turned out that it was not only the people in the Dawn Orphanage who were to receive blood.

Irene nodded and said calmly: "It's okay, Moore, find your position, the ceremony is about to begin."

When Moore stood behind, she slowly said:

"We will lead you to the spiritual world in the dream and witness His greatest power. You will receive the blood of the Fisher family full of extraordinary destiny and gain power beyond mortals!"
