Chapter 124 Chris's Wedding
Byrne reached a deal with the Emerald Elf in March on behalf of the Fisher family. Afterwards, he returned to Fisher Manor with the dragon egg and Chris in a complicated mood.
They immediately found Eileen, and Byrne told the whole thing exactly.
The more Irene listened, the more surprised she became. Whether it was Baron Leandre's various obsessions and madness, the mysterious messages, or the final part about the Emerald Elf transaction, they all felt incredible.
After listening, she couldn't help but raise many questions:
"What's going on with that Emerald Elf? Byrne, I remember you said that you met her when you were a teenager. This alien has been lurking on the east coast for so many years, just for the so-called Emerald Elf Saint. Something?"
"What is the sacred object 'New Green Star' that she entrusted us to find? As for the Star Supporting Society mentioned by the Emerald Elf, is it a secret organization that worships the evil god?"
Facing a series of questions, Byrne could only keep shaking his head and said calmly:
"Whether it is the existence of the sacred object 'New Green Star' or the specific information of the Star Supporting Society, I am not very clear. Maybe I can ask those people at the Alchemy Council."
He paused, thought for a moment, and then continued.
"As for that elf, I feel that she is completely different from the 'peace-loving and weak race' mentioned in the book. In fact, this 'March Lady' gives me a feeling similar to a mercenary."
When Byrne said this, he couldn't help but think of his father's face, and finally understood at this moment what kind of temperament it was.
To be precise, the characteristic of that kind of person is "lack of awe for everything in the world, but only believe in the power in their hands"!
And even a father would need blood relatives in his family to relieve his loneliness. The Emerald Elf was more like a cruel and cold lone wolf. He didn't trust anyone at all, and he didn't intend to rely on anyone. He just lived for himself.
After hearing this, Eileen could only sigh and said: "So that's it, the information we have is still too little."
Everyone can only think about the problems that they can't figure out. Irene stared at the dazzling crystal dragon egg. She was very surprised. Her eyes gradually became fascinated and she thought it was really beautiful.
And it looks very valuable!
"It looks very good. If we sell this crystal dragon egg, how much can we sell it for? Maybe it can be used to exchange for resources in various mysterious fields?"
Byrne was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Irene's train of thought was like this. He immediately said: "Actually, I think it would be better to let the family cultivate it and gradually grow up. In the future, we will have a very powerful dragon. If we sell it directly, If you drop it, it will be very cost-effective.”
Chris suddenly asked: "Can't you eat it?"
Erin shook her head, looked at Byrne, and calmly stated her reasons.
"I still think it would be better to sell it, for example to Viscount Best or the Alchemy Council you joined."
"Even if we raise it, we can't be sure it will treat us as family, and I know that the dragon's growth is extremely slow, and the future of harvest is too long..."
She wanted to say that her lifespan was very limited and she would definitely not see the day when it grew into a giant dragon, but she paused and still did not say it.
Byrne still shook his head, extremely opposed to Irene's idea, frowned and explained:
"I still recommend raising it. In fact, most dragons will be full of emotions about raising their own lives. The situation you mentioned will basically not happen."
"And this dragon's egg is very unusual. I have read books about mysterious creatures, but there have never been any records about crystal dragon eggs. Perhaps its appearance is a huge opportunity that the Fisher family has not encountered for many years. !”
Chris said again abruptly: "Eat it."
While everyone was arguing, Karl already felt a strange attraction in the transparent bottle on the altar.
Huh, weird.
He noticed that some kind of unformed life in the dragon egg actually contained a lot of spiritual power, but now it was far from being formed, and its spiritual power was still growing.
If you want the spiritual power of the life in the crystal dragon egg to reach its peak, you must let it be born and grow to its peak. At that time, it was full of temptation for Karl.
interesting.
"What kind of existence is the crystal dragon egg that Byrne brought from the spiritual world? Its race is not an ordinary dragon at all, maybe it is just another mysterious creature similar to a dragon."
He found it very interesting and wanted to witness that time when life grew to its extreme, so he decided to give orders to Irene through mind communication.
Karl thought of a nicer way of saying it and conveyed it.
[Let it grow until it can cover the sky and the sun, and be strong enough to devour all things. 】
Several people in the basement finally planned to vote with the scale of belief to decide how to deal with the crystal dragon eggs. Suddenly, Irene's expression changed.
She knelt on the ground without hesitation, nodded, and murmured to herself for a long time.
"I understand, my great lord!"
Byrne and Chris were both stunned, and soon realized what had happened.
It is the great Lord of the Lost who has sent down an oracle!
Erin finally stood up slowly and said seriously: "The great Lord of the Lost has sent down the oracle. The Fisher family must make it born and grow until it can cover the sky and the sun, and even swallow all things!"
She sighed and apologized sincerely: "Byrne, you are right, I almost made a big mistake."
At this moment, no one disputed, and Chris seemed very disappointed.
The disappearance of Baron Leander did not cause a big stir in the East Coast Province.
Many people speculated that he was kidnapped and killed by the Poseidon Cult, and some speculated that it was the Lost Believers who did it, and the latter was right in a sense.
One thing that surprised Byrne was that the assistant priest Zain did not come to investigate.
It seems that the Storm Church is no longer concerned about such things, or it may be because they are too busy internally. The people they sent to investigate were only a few low-level priests that Byrne did not know at all.
"It's bad. The current situation is that even if there are real nobles missing or killed, the Storm Church is no longer concerned... Last time when the Case family was killed, Zain came to the scene in person very quickly."
When he thought of this, his heart sank.
The order of the East Coast Province is like a thin piece of paper. In fact, it only needs the last poke of external force, and the seemingly stable social order will collapse as a whole.
The Leander family has only one extraordinary person at the qualitative level, Baron Leander.
After he disappeared for a period of time, the family's land was quickly occupied by the surrounding viscount families, and they were the original protectors of their family.
The Fisher family chose to remain silent this time and not fight for the territory. The hostility with the Garcia family was a foregone conclusion. The territory of the Case family must be eaten. Now it is not a good thing to establish a new enemy again.
Moreover, the "iron-blooded" Ode family that occupied the territory of the Leander family is actually a long-term ally of the Lion family for many years. If the Fisher family wants to fight for it, it will be difficult to get the support of the Lion family.
It is precisely because the Leander family is protected by the "iron-blooded" Ode family and can be regarded as a marginal member of the Lion family's ally circle that Leander asked Byrne to find Viscount Best.
Three months later.
A wedding that shocked everyone in Nasir Town quietly unfolded.
Many people found it hard to believe that Master Chris of the Fisher family and the prospective housekeeper, Ms. Vanessa, suddenly got married.
"Do you really think Ms. Vanessa is worthy of Master Chris?"
Many people in the town were puzzled.
"I heard that several nearby families have proposed marriage requests, and even Viscount Best wanted Master Chris to marry one of his nieces, but was rejected by Mr. Byrne."
"Although Ms. Vanessa is a good person, she is really lucky to marry Master Chris!"
The rumor that Byrne boldly rejected the Lion family's marriage request is actually true.
He almost knelt down to Lieutenant Colonel Abel who came to propose marriage. When the other party came, he didn't expect that the Fisher family would reject them!
It was not until Byrne and Lieutenant Colonel Abel promised that the next head of the Fisher family would definitely marry the Lion family that Lieutenant Colonel Abel calmed down when he left.
Byrne and Irene knew one thing in their hearts.
Since Chris has decided on Vanessa, he will not change his mind, and Vanessa is not the kind of girl who would be willing to be a lover.
Moreover, Byrne does not really want the Fisher family to marry the Lion family immediately.
Because the current status gap between the two sides is too big, if the people who marry from the Lion family want to get in touch with them, the Fisher family will have a hard time dealing with it.
Due to Margaret's matter, the Hoffman family is now ambiguous with the Fisher family, and Byrne has become extremely cautious about the family marriage.
As for who the next head of the Fisher family will be, and whether there will really be a marriage at that time, they can still discuss it again at that time, at least let's fool around for now.
At the wedding, Vanessa seemed very happy, and Chris also smiled rarely.
"Thank you."
They were all grateful for Byrne and Irene's permission.
The Fisher family invited the upper class circles of the Four Towns to attend the wedding. Except for the Garcia family, the remaining three baron families and two viscount families in the Four Towns all sent family members.
The Lion Family also sent an envoy to attend the wedding, expressing that their family did not mind Fisher's refusal to marry.
Zain, the assistant priest of the bishop of the Storm Church, had promised to come, but suddenly did not come in the end. Later, he said that there were important internal issues to be resolved.
A few days after the wedding, Byrne, who was deconstructing potions in the alchemy workshop, heard the servant's report that his son Darren was unconscious!
"What happened?" He was extremely nervous and surprised. He rushed to Darren's room as soon as possible and soon saw his son who was unconscious on the bed and the people around him.
Irene calmly let everyone disperse and said lightly: "You leave first, I have something to talk to Byrne alone."
