Chapter 148 Sequence "Scapegoat" And Fate Trajectory "Sufferer"
Eileen's success in reaching the third step is undoubtedly a surprise to the entire Fisher family, and everyone is happy for it.
The Fisher family held a small banquet at the manor, and many people from the four towns who were friendly to the family came. Even though they were far apart, the Lion family sent people over as soon as possible to express their sincerity.
Seeing the people coming from the Lion Family, all the people attending the banquet couldn't help but think about a question again.
"Why do you think the Lion family values Fisher, a small family, so much?"
"Maybe, it really is an illegitimate child. Even if it is an illegitimate child, Viscount Best's attitude is a bit too good."
According to what the Fisher family said to the outside world, Irene was a spell caster with healing spell casting talent, and she had never shown any other spells to outsiders.
There were many guests attending the Fisher family banquet, and people took advantage of the opportunity to attend the banquet to constantly exchange information and exchange information with other guests.
And just as the banquet was about to end, a tall and handsome young man from the family secretly ran out of Fisher Manor.
Although Darren is only fifteen years old, he is already over 1.8 meters tall, and his long-term obesity has disappeared. He even looks seventy-nine times similar to Byrne when he was young, but he is stronger.
Darren sneaked into the woods outside. The beautiful blond girl was squatting under the tree, hugging her legs and waiting silently. She raised her head and saw him coming out and immediately smiled with joy!
"You're finally here, Darren! It's so cold outside, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Darren also felt very irritated. In fact, whether he could marry her or not was not something he could decide at all. Only the elders of the family could decide.
They spun around in circles, and the girl couldn't help but laugh too.
Darren was stunned for a moment and remained silent. Deep down, he felt that hearing this sentence was really irritating.
"let's go!"
"Don't be angry, I was wrong."
Moreover, the person she should ask the most is actually her father!
The relationship between the two cannot be exposed casually. His father and cousin Eileen will definitely interrogate him, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"Hahahahaha!"
The two young bodies immediately became hot.
Darren's face completely sank and he said rudely:
"I have to be busy every day in the family. I have to learn all kinds of knowledge, receive swordsmanship training, and have to be busy with so many things. It took a lot of effort to meet you. I just became happy. Do you have to say this?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately softened her attitude, hugging Darren and not daring to say anything more.
"Hahaha, didn't I come? Here you go."
Since Eric's death, Darren has been forced to accept more severe teachings from Byrne. The Fisher family has compiled a set of strict family rules based on the Lion family and hired several teachers.
After years of suffering, Darren's body has changed a lot. Although he still likes to eat sweets, he has successfully lost weight.
When the girl saw that Darren was silent, she bit her lip and asked again, "Can you marry me?"
Darren quickly took the girl to a hotel in Nasir Town, and the two entered the room that the boss had reserved for Darren all year round.
The battle was about to break out. After dozens of minutes, when the fighting finally stopped, Darren suddenly heard the girl in his arms raise her little face and ask:
Darren walked up and handed over a dessert stolen from the banquet, stuffed it into the girl's mouth with his own hands, then took his little lover's hand, and then picked her up with a smile.
However, more than before, he began to fear his father instead of simply worshiping that man.
"Darren, when can I go to your house for a banquet? Well, you have met my father, right? He said he got an invitation letter from your family."
If her father were a member of a certain Viscount family, there would be no obstacle to their marriage. Unfortunately, her father is just a wealthy businessman. He would be overjoyed even if he got an invitation letter from our Fisher family.
There is something Darren has never dared to say.
His position in the family is actually not very stable. Originally, Darren thought that with his father's relationship, he would become the head of Fisher's family sooner or later.
However, he recently discovered that his father never mentioned the inheritance of the next head of the family, and several people of his generation were gradually growing up, and they gradually felt a sense of crisis deep in their hearts.
Also, Darren got a really bad sequence when he accepted The Gift the year before.
Path of Shadows, "The Scapegoat".
His physical fitness and spirituality have been improved in a balanced way, but other than that, the "scapegoat" sequence just gives Darren a very useless extraordinary characteristic.
Darren can activate "Scape" to consume spiritual power, absorb the bad luck from others through physical contact, and then take the bad luck for others!
Oh shit!
How can you be the head of a family with such rubbish serial power?
And Darren could clearly feel one thing, that is, his father didn't like him to embark on the path of shadow. After they came out of the basement that day, he just told him with a complicated expression.
"Darren, if you want to become stronger, be more yourself. Maybe taking the path of shadow is not a completely bad thing... but you have to remember that no matter what, don't do anything that is not good for the family. "
The more he thought about these things, the more troubled he felt. He took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"Turn over."
He spanked the girl's butt, turned over and mounted her, holding her arms behind her back.
"pain."
Hearing the girl's shouting, Darren could feel the potion in his body was digesting a little bit, but he remained silent and ignored her slight resistance.
When the two were about to separate, Darren could see a little black breath on the girl.
After thinking about it, he still touched her face and absorbed that bit of bad luck calmly. Deep in his heart, he felt much more balanced and felt that he was actually quite good to her.
Then, on the way home, Darren was hit by a frightened horse. He felt as if his bones were cracked and grimaced in pain.
"I'm sorry! Master Darren, I'm sorry!"
"It's not your fault, but I still want to scold you. Remember to be careful next time."
He was hurriedly helped up by the terrified coachman, frowning, and clearly felt that his fate trajectory "Sufferer" had been activated, and a little white breath appeared around him.
The fate of the "sufferer" is that after the person encounters bad things, he can accumulate some good luck, and when he encounters a fatal crisis, all his accumulated good luck will burst out to offset the fatal crisis.
It's just that after accumulating for several years, Darren has not encountered a time when he needs to consume that luck, and all kinds of bad luck have become an unbearable daily routine.
In Fisher Manor.
Byrne silently made notes on mystical knowledge, mainly about the records and summaries of various creatures recreated from summoning spells.
Vanessa's spellcasting talent has been further developed and has reached the origin. Now she can not only cast one more type of summoning spell, but also the effect of casting various spells will be enhanced.
"Unfortunately, it's difficult for me to make progress."
In recent years, Byrne found that he was unable to digest the power of the third-level "mystic scholar".
"According to the mysterious knowledge bestowed by the Lord of the Lost, anyone who steps on the first four steps of the Long Steps to God will not be so difficult to overcome. Only those who want to step on the fifth step will encounter real difficulties."
The reason may be very simple, that is, because I am too distracted, I have to take care of many affairs in the family, and I am not so attentive to learning knowledge and studying mysticism.
"At this rate, I am afraid it will take me ten years to completely master the sequence power of the third-level 'mystic scholar'."
"And if you want to speed up the mastery of power, you can, as long as you put aside the intrigue and family affairs..."
He shook his head. If his father had not died, he would have had the opportunity to devote himself to knowledge.
How could the Fisher family not rely on themselves now?
"If Irene can step on the fifth step of the road to the God of Sacrifice, her life span will increase, but unfortunately she does not have enough time."
It is not only that Irene's time is getting less and less, but also because she has only summarized effective methods for cultivating pious people in recent years, which has delayed her for a long time.
However, with Irene's experience, it will be much easier for the newcomers of the Dawn Cult to be promoted to "Preachers".
Chris's situation is completely different from theirs.
Chris actually said half a year ago that he was about to completely master the power of the third-level sequence!
Just like when he mastered the power of the first-level "Hunter" and the second-level "Killer", Chris made rapid progress without any obstacles on the road to becoming stronger, as if he was born for the Path of Tranquility. Both Byrne and Irene felt it was exaggerated.
Genius!
Byrne could only summarize Chris's situation in this way.
"It seems that Chris will enter the fourth level one step earlier than me. He is really in line with the Path of Tranquility. Now it seems that the more you conform to the theme of a path, the easier it is to master the power of the sequence, and you don't have to care too much about the intention of the sequence itself."
He didn't feel jealous at all, but knew that it was a crucial matter. The entire Fisher family lacked a truly powerful extraordinary person.
As long as Chris can step onto the fourth step, he will have extraordinary power that is comparable to the qualitative change, and the situation of the entire Fisher family will be different!
"In addition to the fate trajectory and rune power, as long as Chris can reach the fourth step, the Fisher family will become a very important chess player in the East Coast Province, and no longer just a chess piece of those people."
He knew very well that Viscount Garcia had always wanted to completely uproot Fisher.
It was only because a series of powerful extraordinary people fell into the hands of the Fisher family that Viscount Garcia had doubts and vigilance in his heart, so he did not dare to really do it.
In fact, Viscount Garcia's idea was correct. If he really went deep into Nasir Town, he would definitely be killed by Irene's direct consumption of life.
Late at night.
In the silent night, Byrne quietly left the family manor and came to the cemetery of the Fisher family.
There were many tombstones there, not only the core members of the Fisher family, but also those ordinary family soldiers, who would be buried here after death.
He came to Lucius's tombstone, looked at the flowers sent by people from all walks of life, and added a bouquet of his own flowers.
"I seem to be more and more like you, father, but I can't completely become you."
Then, Byrne came to Eric's tombstone. There were not many flowers placed here, so he silently took out a bouquet of flowers and calmly placed it on it.
"Sorry."
When he returned to Fisher Manor, Byrne saw Chris and Irene waiting for him in the hall.
Chris, with silver-white hair, stood there calmly, with no expression on his face, but his thin body had a different kind of handsomeness, like an angel fallen from the sky.
"Chris, you're back!" A smile appeared on Byrne's face.
A few months ago, after Chris showed that he was about to completely master the power of the third-level "Pretender", he left the family quietly without telling anyone.
Now, he is back.
"Byrne, there is a very important good news about Chris!"
Irene smiled, and her eyes showed great joy.
Byrne just saw her expression and immediately understood what was going on. He was suddenly surprised in his heart!
Finally waited for this day! The opportunity for the Fisher family to transform has come!
He couldn't help but sigh, clenched his hands, and said excitedly: "It's even faster than I expected. Chris, you are indeed a natural quiet person."
Chris nodded gently. He has successfully mastered all the power of the "Pretender".
All that’s left is to find the ritual method to step onto the fourth step. Once you complete the ritual, you can advance to a new stage and possess extraordinary powers that are no less powerful than those of the powerful viscounts!
