Chapter 155: Forbidden Item "Countdown"

Spirit rune "Thorns".

Compared with the "reverse stab" that only causes mental shock, the mysterious power of "thorns" goes further. It will directly grow a large number of black thorns on the enemy's body, restricting the opponent's movement, and regardless of the mental shock or the black thorns, All can be effective in groups.

Chris is already very strong on the offensive level, and there is no need to add any more in this regard. However, his defensive side is relatively weak and in urgent need of reinforcement.

So in order to allow the assassin to "deliver alive", Karl finally chose to use the spiritual rune "Thorns" as insurance.

As a result, Chris Fisher's overall strength has been greatly improved.

Today, he has been reborn and has officially become a truly powerful man who can be ranked among the best on the East Coast. The Fisher family has also become a force that cannot be underestimated on the East Coast.

"Next, the Fisher family, which is gradually getting stronger, should be able to do even greater things. I don't know what the situation will be like in the next twenty-one years."

Karl could feel that he was still far away from breaking through the fourth seal.

"Fisher, hurry up and offer another forbidden-level rare item. I can feel that my soul is hungry and thirsty. That kind of instinctive desire is simply irresistible."

In other words, I don’t want to resist at all.

——

East Coast Province's emerging city, Port Phipps.

This city is the city of the Eagle family, and it is also the fastest growing city on the entire east coast in recent decades.

Port Phipps, as one of the largest ports in the Seat Kingdom, covers the four eastern countries, the White Sea and even the Sunless Sea, all within its radiation range.

The head of the Eagle family, "Black Eagle" Xavier, was a very visionary man. He vigorously developed industry, spared no effort to introduce foreign steam engines, and also provided convenient policies for various factories.

Although some problems, chaos, violence, and disease inevitably occur in the process of urbanization and industrialization, the rapid development of Port Phipps is a "miracle" that everyone can see.

The black carriage was passing through the crowd. After everyone saw the Growler family crest on the carriage, they almost subconsciously stayed away and did not dare to get close.

Viscount Garcia, in black military uniform, was sitting in the carriage with a calm and calm expression. He held a strange black mechanical enamel watch in his big, rough and thick hands.

The current era of clocks in Odenland already has tourbillons, and the second hand has also been invented, but the mechanical enamel watch in the hands of Viscount Garcia is completely different.

It is obviously an older product. The hands inside are only hour and minute hands, and there is no tourbillon to offset the errors caused by gravity on the components in the clock escapement system.

In fact, this black mechanical enamel watch itself is not a real clock, but a powerful forbidden mysterious object.

Forbidden Wonder 4571 "Countdown".

In order to increase the probability of success against the Fisher family, Viscount Garcia obtained this forbidden rare item called "Countdown" through trading with the Kanians in the northernmost of the four eastern countries a few months ago.

All the numbers of forbidden strange objects are assigned by the "Crimson Flame Library" among the six ancient libraries. Basically, the smaller the number, the more powerful the mysterious power it possesses.

The nine forbidden rare items numbered in single digits will even be coveted by the strong men of the Apocalypse.

Although it is only a forbidden rare item with a four-digit number, the "countdown" number is within five thousand, and the mysterious power contained within it is still very powerful.

Rumors about the Fisher family and the Roman family have spread throughout the East Coast Province. More and more people, both civilians and nobles, believe it, and many people even start to add fuel to the fire. Everyone in the tavern likes to hear those "scandals" the most. , "Secret", "Conspiracy".

However, Viscount Garcia still did not believe this.

"But there is no doubt that their hidden power is really troublesome. Rather than attacking rashly, Wei Na should first investigate the internal situation of the Fisher family."

"Is it really necessary to be so cautious?"

Viscount Garcia's younger brother, Andrew frowned, feeling that his brother was a little too cautious.

"No matter what, the Fisher family is just a small family. The power and influence they possess are ridiculous in front of the Growler family."

"Even if the Fisher family is backed by the Lion family, so what, our Growler family is also backed by the Eagle family."

"As long as they are not direct descendants of the Luomen family, they are not worth mentioning in front of the Growler family."

In fact, the core members of the Growler family all know that the head of the family, Viscount Garcia, is about to assassinate the head of the Fisher family, Byrne.

But what all of them couldn't understand was that even though Viscount Garcia firmly believed that the Fisher family and the Roman family were not closely related, he still "valued" the potential and hidden power of the Fisher family.

Over the past year, Viscount Garcia spent a lot of time, energy and money on purchasing forbidden rare items, even preparing to kill Byrne Fisher.

"You don't understand at all. The hidden power of the Fisher family is definitely very powerful. Several strong men have fallen in front of them. Even I can't guarantee that I can kill Byrne."

Viscount Garcia stared at his brother with sharp eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Investigating the secrets of the Fisher family, researching and preparing the ambush site, and this forbidden artifact are all things we must do well."

"Just like the war with the Rhea people, you can't be careless at any time on the battlefield. Or, have you forgotten how the Storm Bishop died?"

His tone became more serious, and his eyes even turned cold.

"The original Poseidon Order also hid its power, but we knew nothing about it. In the end, we thought we could win easily. But everyone knows the final result, but some stupid guys never remember the lesson!"

Andrew swallowed, a little afraid of his brother.

"I see."

The black carriage arrived in front of the Eagle family's manor and finally stopped.

This manor adopts the complete Lorne style and looks very majestic and unique. The colors are elegant yet bright, and the surrounding lawns are meticulously manicured and flat, as if they were created by mysterious power.

Viscount Garcia came to the manor house and saw Viscount Xavier, who was still wearing a black robe, with a cold expression, and the appearance of a young man in the study, which occupied a large area.

"Xavier, what are you doing?"

When Viscount Garcia came in, he saw Xavier looking fascinated at a drawing.

"This is an unprecedented invention. It's really fascinating. Garcia, I'm looking at the future of Port Phipps."

Xavier raised his head, took a deep breath, and then handed the drawing in his hand to Viscount Garcia, but the latter did not understand mechanical industry drawings at all, and he could only shake his head after reading it.

"What on earth is this? It seems like a boat?"

"This is a steam engine ship. You can understand it as it can use the power of the steam engine to move the ship on the water, instead of just relying on the power of wind and alchemy."

Xavier's face was still expressionless, but his tone showed great importance to the things in the drawings.

"Its emergence can even change the world. Sooner or later, steam ships will replace sailing ships. They will be easier to sail and faster, and will make Port Phipps flourish."

Viscount Garcia doesn't quite understand, can something like a steam engine really provide power for a ship? Moreover, if people use it to replace the power of the sea breeze, what will the Church of Storms think?

They will definitely feel that they will be very angry if they recast the "sacred things" of the church and then find ways to replace the authority and domain of the Storm Lord.

"It may not develop as smoothly as you think." Viscount Garcia shook his head.

"You still don't understand, Garcia. The East Coast Province is likely to become the richest province in Seat in the future."

Xavier shook his head and said: "Recasting the steam engines invented by the church is really great. They are more important than alchemy, which is expensive and has a very high threshold."

"In at most fifty or a hundred years, the existence of the steam engine will change the entire world. By then, every aspect of people's lives will have traces of steam and machinery!"

Viscount Garcia finally couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He really felt that his old friend was so whimsical, he shook his head and laughed:

"Hahahahaha, Xavier, are you crazy? That is simply impossible! None of the major churches will sit back and let the Recast Church grow on its own!"

"The steam engine is certainly interesting, and I admit that it has brought about changes, but in the face of truly powerful power, it is just an ordinary thing. I don't think there is anything special about it!"

Xavier suddenly realized his mistake. He should not have talked about these things with Viscount Garcia at all. That was not the area where this professional soldier was good at.

So he nodded slightly and asked expressionlessly: "So, what do you need me to do for you, Garcia?"

Viscount Garcia's face darkened and he said, "I need you to help me kill Byrne Fisher!"

Xavier was not surprised at all by this answer. He was silent for a long time and said calmly:

"Do you have to kill that man? He is also very cautious now and keeps his whereabouts secret at all times. And you and I both know very well that the Fisher family has some kind of hidden power. If you attack them rashly, you are very likely to encounter someone. kind of danger."

The situation after the sea war has become increasingly tense. Many nobles have learned to keep their whereabouts secret. There are fewer and fewer banquets open to everyone, and assassinations have become more and more difficult.

"I've made up my mind! Lend me your power, Xavier!"

There was something beast-like in Viscount Garcia's eyes. He held one of his hands tightly and took out the forbidden rare item "Countdown" with the other hand.

"At most ten years, or even five years from now, the Fisher family will become a huge obstacle in front of us!"

He continued speaking firmly, trusting his own judgment.

"My judgments are often based not so much on intuition but on the accumulation of many years of experience. If we allow the Fisher family to continue to develop, they will eventually become beasts that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong, and then it will be even more troublesome. and danger!”

"Byrne Fisher, he is the leader of the Fisher family, must fall to his death now!"
