Chapter 224 Best Rhine
Chapter 224 Best Rhine
A thousand years ago, the continent of Oden was in darkness and chaos. At that time, every supernatural being was a slave owner. The war groups they formed fought each other frantically. Various city-states rose and fell, and almost all mortals were slaves.
It was not until hundreds of years ago that the church re-established order and everything turned around. The mortals who were once equivalent to slaves finally had a very small, humble and insignificant dignity.
Because of the forced constraints of the gods and the Orthodox Church, the fighting between the nobles became milder. Everyone understood that all souls would return to the gods in the end. It was undoubtedly irresponsible to violate the church's regulations and kill other supernatural nobles during their lifetime.
More than 70 years ago, it was still an era when the church and the gods constrained various countries and everything was still in order.
Even if many nobles went to war with each other, few nobles would actually die in battle. People called the low death rate of nobles in that era the mercy of the gods.
However, the common people were not so lucky. Even among the gods, only the Lord of Redemption and Lady Silver Moon cared about them. The other gods did not care about the existence of mortals.
At that time, the Lion Family was already a viscount family on the East Coast. They were one of the small nobles who followed the ten major families to migrate eastward, and the first head of the family at that time was a knight loyal to the Roman family.
Because of the gift of the Black Iron Duke, he got enough resources to break through to the qualitative change. At that time, it was still a qualitative change.
The Siat people migrated east to this place and naturally had all kinds of conflicts with the locals, so they took the most violent way to kill the East Coast natives who did not believe in the gods until they could not resist.
At that time, the foreign wars of the nobles were very fierce. Finally, after decades of killing and madness, all the East Coast people who reached the monarch level died.
Their civilization was also completely destroyed, and those ancient heritages were completely destroyed by the Siat people.
The remaining East Coast natives either went to sea or hid in the jungle, and fled one by one.
Bester Rhine's mother was a woman who married into a knight family. She was plain-looking and not a superhuman, but a mortal with low-level hidden blood.
The main war of that era was to expel the natives of the East Coast and kill all kinds of mysterious creatures in the area.
So just like now, everyone attaches great importance to superhuman power, and in that most feudal era, people without superhuman power were born with extremely low status.
Even the children of nobles were no exception.
The old patriarch had a very cold relationship with Bester's mother, and after Bester Rhine was born, the old patriarch did not have a good attitude towards his son.
Even though he was the eldest son, he did not receive any preferential treatment.
Because Bester Rhine was a mortal.
Because his blood power was not detected at birth, Bester was always regarded as a useless mortal in the family during his childhood. He became a vassal of the superhuman blood relatives in the family, just like those mortal brothers and sisters.
There was a hint of coldness in Viscount Bester's eyes, and his voice gradually became colder.
"At that time, I deeply understood the beauty of power. All the brothers and sisters with extraordinary power can always get good things, almost anything they want, and we mortals have to execute it with just a casual order."
"We are not a family at all, or according to what scholars say, in fact, whether there is extraordinary power or not, it is already two completely different species, hehe."
Byrne frowned when he heard this, and was very curious. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "But you obviously have blood power? What's going on?"
"Detection error." Viscount Best replied.
"What?"
Byrne was stunned and couldn't believe it. After a pause, he continued to ask: "Are you serious?"
Viscount Best nodded seriously, stared into Byrne's eyes, and said calmly:
"It is indeed a detection error, hehe, you didn't expect it, things are so absurd! That era is different from now. The crystal ball used to detect blood power is more unreliable. There is a possibility of detection error as high as one in ten!"
One in ten.
After listening to this, Byrne fell into deep thought, and then asked: "Then you didn't take the test again? I know that the descendants of the family will be tested more than once."
"Yes! In order to avoid mistesting, everyone in the Lion family has a second test opportunity!"
Bester nodded deeply, and couldn't help but smile, and continued: "But I am the one in a thousand unlucky guy!"
"The test was wrong twice!"
Bester was stunned. He didn't expect that the life of the old man in front of him was so magical, and such an incredible thing would happen.
He couldn't help but feel that it was simply a deliberate play of fate.
"Hahahahaha!"
At this point, Viscount Best drank another glass of wine. He couldn't help laughing, and his smile became more and more enthusiastic. In the end, he laughed so hard that tears came out.
"It's so funny! My bad life for more than ten years was caused by a wrong test! Hahaha! That's fate!"
"It's really funny."
Byrne said lightly, shook his head slightly, looked into the old man's eyes and said: "Many times, the truth of the matter is so ridiculous. Just an unlucky accident can ruin many things."
"Yeah, that's when I realized what fate is. It turns out that most people in the world are pawns of fate, being played with in a ridiculous way."
Best's face was full of self-mockery, but there was some strong ambition in his eyes.
"However, I am different now, and even fate has become a plaything in the palm of my hand!"
Best paused for a moment, his passionate eyes faded, and continued: "My power was discovered by chance. On a meaningless night, the few remaining metamorphic extraordinary beings among the natives on the east coast at that time came in. "
"They set the city of Fein, well, it was just the town of Fein, on fire."
He said with emotion: "The fire was really too big. At that time, the main forces of each family were annihilating the nearby indigenous tribes and were not in the town, so the fire caused heavy casualties."
There seems to be still fire in Best's eyes. Everything in the past will not fade away easily, but will live in the memories of the living.
That night was like a fantasyland under a huge cloak of flames. Against the backdrop of the fire, the houses fell one after another, as if they were pushed down by a ruthless demonic hand.
Thick smoke filled the air, explosions were heard endlessly, screams and flames intertwined into tragic and terrifying music, and the raging fire danced in the dark night, like an out-of-control demon spreading its anger and destruction.
The people in the town seemed so small and fragile in front of the ruthless flames.
"I was lucky enough to escape the first time, but then I turned around and found that my seriously ill mother was still in the flames! No one helped her escape from her room!"
Viscount Best's hand was trembling slightly, the goblet was broken, and the wine was flowing on the old palm.
"I was ashamed, angry, and anxious at that time, and rushed into the fire to try to save her..."
"It's a pity that it's too late!"
Best took a deep breath and was silent for a long time. His eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, and he seemed to be recalling the past.
The raging fire at that time was like a ferocious beast, baring its teeth and claws, swallowing everything into ashes and burning the life on the earth.
As the flames danced, the sky was filled with thick smoke and ash, as if the dark end was quietly coming.
The young man gradually walked out from the sea of fire holding a burning corpse.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, he looked up to the sky and roared!
Viscount Best's eyes were wandering, and he said slowly: "I was supposed to die in the fire, but I walked out of the fire seriously injured, showing physical abilities that are different from ordinary people."
"Then people in the family realized I was different."
Byrne has heard that there are very few people who can break through to the origin level without taking magic potions. From this aspect, Best can be considered a lucky person.
"After the old guy came back, the family conducted an unusual blood test on me for the third time. Then my blood power was finally discovered, and the whole family was in an uproar!"
He smiled and grabbed Byrne's hand, and said in a subtle tone:
"You have never experienced that feeling, the experience of being extremely despised by others, but then being sought after by others. I want to tell you, that experience is the most amazing experience in the world!"
It's not that Byrne has never experienced similar feelings, but he also understands that his feelings are definitely not as strong as Best's.
"From that time on, I understood that becoming strong and outstanding is the foundation of everything!"
"Even if it's family love, except for mother's love, everyone else's love is conditional. If you are worthless, you won't be able to attract love at all!"
His tone became more enthusiastic and he said loudly:
"Then I have been working hard to become stronger, seizing every opportunity to become stronger! In the end, I finally became the head of the Rhine family. Because I am strong enough, I am the king of the Lion family, and I am also the overall situation in their hearts. Those weak Even willing to die for me!"
When Viscount Best said this, he couldn't stop sneering, and there was strong mockery in his eyes.
"Abel, Renzo, they didn't have much respect for me decades ago. Now, everything is completely different."
Byrne fell into deep contemplation. He had always wondered who the arrogant younger brothers and sisters Best mentioned were, and whether they were Abel and Renzo.
Sure enough.
Now he finally understood why Viscount Best had always been so cold-blooded to his relatives and friends. This man simply did not believe in the connection between blood.
I'm afraid I can't believe him either...
At this moment, Viscount Best suddenly changed the subject.
"I have not told anyone else about this, Byrne. I will only tell you one person, that is, when I try to break through the monarch this time, people from the Star Supporting Society are likely to come over."
Byrne was slightly stunned, as if he felt unbelievable, and asked: "Star Supporting Club?"
Viscount Best nodded slightly and said, "Well, I have cooperated with them before. Those people have the handle, and they also have the handle in my hands."
"We were able to check and balance each other before, but as soon as I reach the monarch, everything will be completely different. Therefore, those heretics never hope that I can successfully break through!"
