Chapter 205 Mother and Daughter
"Eileen Fisher was born in 1786 in the solar calendar. Her love embraces the Fisher family and everyone in the world. Her piety and determination make everyone moved. Her words will lead us to continue... …”
In the study room of the Fisher Manor, Byrne took a deep breath of the cold air, calmly held the pen with his long fingers, and recorded a new chapter in the history of the Fisher family.
My father, Irene, and myself, as well as many more members of the Fisher family, would later board it.
Byrne was once afraid of death. Later, when he learned that the soul would return to the Lost Lord, he no longer feared and feared it. At the same time, he gradually realized something very important.
People die twice. The first death is the passing of the body and the disappearance of the breath of life, and the second real death is when the name is forgotten.
He recorded their names and existence in writing, and the descendants of the Fisher family would also record their existence, so one generation after another, one generation after another, succeeded them.
"After I die, there will be successors. Maybe this is the meaning of the family's survival."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and wanted to come in.
"Enter."
Just as Byrne finished speaking, he saw his daughter Lilian walking in.
In fact, he can feel the huge changes in Lillian now. After leaving Irene for a few years, she has changed too much.
The girl who once thought about pleasing others suddenly transformed into a very radical family priest and the most radical person in the entire family.
"Good morning, father."
Lillian showed a gentle smile. In the few years since she witnessed Aunt Irene's martyrdom, her body and mind had completely grown up, but in front of her father Byrne, she still had a daughter's side.
That was also a side that made Byrne feel reassured.
"What's wrong, Lillian?"
Lilian was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I plan to go see my mother."
After hearing Margaret's name, Byrne also fell silent.
Because since Baron Hoffmann's accident, he could no longer face Margaret, and his complicated feelings couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.
He was sorry for Margaret, but Hoffman was also sorry for the Fisher family. The connection between the two parties could never be broken because of the child.
But fortunately, his and Margaret's situation will not affect the children's feelings for their mother at all. In fact, Darren and Margaret often visit Margaret after they understand, and Margaret Te also came to Nasir Town to see Darren’s child Felix.
"Go ahead and be nicer to her. She must miss you, Lillian."
He nodded slightly and smiled, and Lillian also laughed. She had been too busy in the past year and had never had the chance to see her mother.
She misses her mother very much.
Byrne mentioned it casually and said expectantly:
"In a few years, when the railway from Nasir Town to Fein City is completely completed, you can even go to Fein City to see your mother in the morning, have lunch, and return to the town in the evening."
Lilian was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Is a steam locomotive that fast?"
"Well, that's true." Byrne nodded without refuting.
Lilian frowned instead and said worriedly:
"The forces of the Recast Church have come to Siat. Father, you have had contact with them, right? Steam engines, steamships, railways and steam locomotives are all technologies released by the Recast Church, no matter what they are planning. , are really changing the whole world little by little.”
"Other churches are allowing the expansion of the Recast Church because of the gods..."
Byrne thought for a moment and said:
"Yes, the people who recast the church are a bit weird. They not only want to transform the world, but the priests who recast the church also transform their own bodies and call themselves 'recasters'..."
After speaking, Byrne fell into deep thought, recalling a priest he had seen who had reforged the church. He was tall and had replaced one of his arms with a weapon powered by steam and steel.
It has gradually broken away from the human category, but the priest who calls himself a recaster still feels from the bottom of his heart that the degree of his own transformation is still too low.
This is still low, so what about the end? Do these people want to become monsters? Byrne found it unbelievable at the time.
Although the Recast Church has never forced anyone to modify their body, their believers will be repeatedly indoctrinated with the theory that flesh and blood are inferior to mechanical steel, so many people will spontaneously join in the transformation.
"I think they not only want to transform the world, they even want to transform all mankind. No, not transform, but recast..."
Byrne shuddered a little deep inside.
——
After riding in the carriage for a long time, Lilian finally came to Fein City again.
The city has changed drastically. The crazy growth of the population has led to increasingly crowded and chaotic residential areas. Public security has deteriorated, crimes have emerged in an endless stream, and the living environment affected by a large number of factories has become filthy and disgusting.
A few years ago, the Lion Family could devote their energy to managing this city, but now that the war has begun, the Lion Family must fight on the front lines and cannot fully respond to the situation at the rear. The population of Fein City is still growing, and the factory The impact of pollution is getting bigger and bigger.
She and Aunt Irene had seen many things and many people in the years they traveled. They had also been to different cities and towns. Since the emergence of steam engines, most of them had a series of problems caused by the population surge, so they were not surprised by the situation in Fein City.
"Perhaps, from these poor people, we can find some believers that our Lord needs."
She squinted her eyes and stared at Fein City outside the carriage. The ground was dirty and muddy. The gangsters laughed and swaggered through the streets. Underage prostitutes were roughly pressed against the wall by men. Groups of children showed the eyes of thieves. Some even raised their middle fingers and spit maliciously at the carriage.
"Gugugu!"
The little spiritual dragon hid in Lillian's sleeves in the special form of liquid. It curiously turned into a head and stretched it out to look outside the carriage.
"Gugugugugugu!"
It was very excited because it was rare to see so many people!
The Fisher family's carriage went all the way to the wealthy area of Fein City.
Lillian found that the surrounding environment changed instantly. The chaos and dirt, madness and crowds just now disappeared, as if she had come to a brand new world.
"The conflict between the poor and the rich will be as big as the gap in living environment."
The carriage stopped next to the Hoffman family's emerald manor, and the fragrance of flowers and green grass was refreshing.
There were many people who saw Baron Hoffman in trouble in the spirit world, but Viscount Best issued a gag order, so no one dared to tell the truth.
After Baron Hoffman's accident, the entire Hoffman family was taken over by another family member, and soon surrendered to the Lion Family because of the destruction of the Eagle Family.
Of course, because of Byrne, Viscount Best did not embarrass them afterwards.
"Lillian?"
Margaret, who was nearly 40 years old, wore glasses and sat on a hanging chair in the small garden, smiling at her daughter who was walking over.
In a trance, she was slightly stunned and felt that her daughter was very similar to Irene.
Some of them seemed like illusions, and some seemed like reality. Margaret didn't like Irene, who had taken away her children's right to education, but she was full of love for her own Lillian.
"Mom, it's me, I'm back."
Lillian smiled and sat next to Margaret.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of tearing. A few days ago, she was still deciding the life and death of some people, but now she was sitting next to her mother like a good daughter.
"Lillian, you are so beautiful, don't be deceived by some men. Girls like you who are simple and have not experienced anything are the easiest to be deceived."
Margaret looked at her daughter lovingly with a smile on her face.
Simple.
Lillian was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. She was indeed the age of a girl who was deceived, but she had experienced so many things and was no longer the same.
However, in her mother's eyes, she was an ordinary aristocratic girl who liked to play with small animals and was pure in heart. She would never guess what the real her was like.
The sense of tearing became stronger, and Lillian couldn't say many words in her throat. She couldn't and couldn't make her mother understand her at all.
So she nodded gently, smiled and replied: "Yes, mom, don't say it! I know everything, don't worry, I won't be deceived by a man!"
