Chapter 278 Gift "Counterattack Shield" And Steam Locomotive
It is obviously impolite to ask those two questions so bluntly in public. Almost no adult noble in Syat would say such a thing at a banquet.
However, a teenager of about ten years old can say such a thing.
People believe that it is a privilege for children to speak without restraint.
Jayne, the "Hunter in the Mist" of the Abernathy family, immediately frowned and scolded his son lightly.
"Amos! What are you talking about? Don't you know that the questions you ask are very impolite?"
"I'm sorry, father, I won't dare to do it again..."
Amos immediately lowered his head, looking aggrieved, and said that he would never ask such questions again.
"It's okay, Sir Jayne, this is not a question that cannot be asked." Byrne walked up and persuaded politely.
"Our Fisher family does have many secrets, and it has always attracted a lot of attention. It is normal for someone to be curious."
He stared at the boy and laughed. He knew very well that the boy could suddenly ask such a question, which was probably instructed by his father.
In fact, everyone present wanted to know these two things, but they couldn't ask directly, nor could they get the answer quickly in other ways.
Byrne looked at the silent crowd, and without hesitation, he took out the explanation he had thought of long ago, and explained calmly: "In fact, the blood power of the Fisher family comes from another continent."
"Another continent?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, they didn't think it was particularly strange.
In fact, for those legendary beings who can leave behind powerful blood power, traveling across continents is not difficult.
Byrne continued: "So, the blood power possessed by the Fisher family does not belong to any known one."
He was silent for a while, and then said: "The blood power of our family is very special, and it will appear differently in different family members."
Everyone fell into deep thought, could it be the blood power of the Hydra?
"It's just that we don't want to say what the specific effects of those bloodline powers are. I believe everyone can understand this."
"As for Chris Fischer, has he reached the authenticity of the monarch..."
Before he finished speaking, Chris suddenly burst out with an extremely strong momentum, like a sharp hunter locking on everyone present.
The non-monarch extraordinary people all changed their faces, and the nine monarch powerhouses were all thoughtful, feeling the strong momentum that was enough to compete with them on the same stage.
That momentum is genuine!
It can't be wrong!
It seems to be true! Chris Fischer, he has reached the level of the monarch!
Unless, the people of the Fischer family can fake the momentum of the monarch level through special abilities like Count Hoven at the beginning.
But that situation is really too rare.
A steady and heavy voice sounded.
"It is a blessing for us Syat people to have a new monarch-level strongman, and it is also a great blessing for the Yadli royal family!"
The one who spoke was a bald old man, who was very tall and fat, with deep eyes and a strong gloomy look.
He is a member of the Yadli royal family, Prince Bain, the "rock hammer" below the monarch, a distant relative of the current Syat king, and has very terrible strength and defense.
It is like a human fortress. In terms of the strength of the power itself, it is said that he can even be on par with the extraordinary people in the middle of the monarch.
Byrne's expression was suddenly full of righteousness, and he nodded very solemnly and said:
"The Fisher family on the East Coast will definitely become a barrier for the Syat people in the northeast!"
"As long as we are here, the despicable and shameless Rhea people and the heretics of the Poseidon Cult will never touch an inch of land in the East Coast Province again!"
Many people nodded after hearing this, and even some young people at the banquet remembered this scene deeply. In their hearts, Byrne has a filter.
Byrne's words were not fake, but he was not that excited.
What happened just now was quickly exposed, and no one delved into the issues related to blood power.
They were still curious about the blood power of the Fisher family, but they could not imagine that the power system of the Fisher family was completely different.
Because it was too counterintuitive.
It was like a person eating a delicious dish whose ingredients were unclear, and he would not suddenly think that the delicious food might be made of stone, but would just keep guessing what ingredients were in it.
The banquet lasted for several days before it was completely over. Every family that came to visit gave gifts. There was no doubt that the gifts given by Ariel of the Roman family and Bishop Zain of the Storm Church were the most valuable.
"Congratulations! Chris, I will return to the East Coast as a bishop again. From now on, let us work together to control the East Coast."
Zain smiled. He felt that he and Chris at this moment had replaced the roaring king and Earl Hoven!
Of course, he believed that the ending for both sides would be better.
The gift Zain gave was not only a gift of congratulation, but also a thank you to Byrne, a reward for the man's help in making him a monarch.
Two pieces of level 5 extraordinary materials were extremely valuable, and even for a large family, they were treasured items.
The gift Ariel brought also represented the Roman family's support for the Fisher family. It was a four-digit taboo item.
After being silent for a while, she still said in disbelief: "I never expected that you could really reach the level of a monarch. It's really incredible. Not long ago, Fisher on the east coast was still a small family."
The forbidden rare item is a small round shield, numbered 8271, and its name is "Counterattack Shield". It can release a semicircular protective shield to block and reflect incoming attacks for several seconds.
The disadvantage of the "Counterattack Shield" is that it can only be deployed three times a day, and the cost of using it is one year of life. Another disadvantage is that the "Counterattack Shield" has a limit to what it can withstand.
At most, it can only completely block the attacks of the extraordinary beings under the monarch, but it cannot completely defend against stronger extraordinary powers.
In the family meeting that followed, Byrne looked at everyone and said calmly:
"In the next few years, let's do our best to develop and control the East Coast and create a barrel that Fisher has complete control over."
"Try to bring every small family under our control, and, in response to Lillian's original proposal, develop new converts..."
He paused, then looked at his daughter and said:
"Now I think it can be put on the agenda again and vote again with the scales!"
Everyone's blood immediately boiled. Now there is no family on the east coast that can compete with them, and the Church of Storms has a very good relationship with them.
Everyone understands that from now on, no one can stop any actions of the Fisher family on the east coast!
The precarious days are completely over!
——
The steam train started moving slowly, and the onlookers were dumbfounded. They all held their breath and stared at the shocking scene.
Thick black coal smoke rose from the head of the steam train, and the wheels began to rotate slowly. The ground began to tremble with a rolling sound, followed by the gasping and roaring sounds of the steam engine, as the train gradually gained momentum.
"Moved!"
People exclaimed!
As the fire is lit, steam is applied and the engine roars, the rapid discharge of compressed air is instantly intertwined with the vibrations of the train's body.
Gradually, the train slowly accelerated and pulled out of the station.
People in the train station were all staring at the scene in front of them. At this moment, someone among the many onlookers suddenly shouted loudly!
"Fisher!"
Then the rest of the people started shouting too!
"Fischer! Fischer! Fischer!"
Hundreds of people chanted the name of Fisher. They were proud from the bottom of their hearts. The Fisher family is the honor of everyone in Nasir!
On the steam train, Byrne, who was full of white and silver hair and still upright, stood at the door, smiling and waving to the people who were drifting away.
"Sir Byrne!"
Almost everyone greeted him with a smile, the people in Nasir cheered loudly, and many young people even ran with the not-so-fast steam train!
In the carriage of the steam train, several members of the Fisher family were also sitting here, including Christine, Archibald, Vanessa, and Christine's assistant.
They were all a little uncomfortable. After all, except for Byrne, who had gone through many tests before, this was their first time riding a steam train.
Chris has been on the fifth ladder for four years.
"Hahahahahaha!"
The bearded Archibald laughed loudly in the carriage. After more than ten years of construction, the railway was finally fully connected to the town of Nasir and the city of Fein where the Fisher family was located!
Christine, who is in a wheelchair, is a mature woman.
Wearing a black dress that looks like the night sky, she looks full of intellectual aura. She has long silver hair and is full of mature charm.
A man with an upright face and a white military uniform stood silently behind the wheelchair.
He is one of Best's grandsons, Andre Rhine, who has the temperament of a truly noble knight and is now the assistant responsible for helping Christine move.
Christine flipped her hair and said calmly and intellectually: "We have to build more railways, um, more railways."
Archibald was stunned for a moment and said:
"Miss Christine, it has taken more than ten years to build just one railway. Do we really need to build more? Isn't it too much of a waste of time, energy and money?"
"Is this really good for the family?"
Deep down in his heart, he felt that Lord Byrne and Miss Christine were a little brainwashed by the priests of the Recast Church!
One railway is not enough! I am thinking about laying more railways every day!
Christine was very calm, looked at Archibald and said: "I have read a lot of books over the years, and I also know a lot about the application of railways in other countries. They will become the lifelines of cities in the future. We must think To make the East Coast rich, building railroads is a must.”
"By then, provinces with a railway network will be much ahead of provinces without a railway network, and in the end there will be a gap like a big family and a small family."
Archibald didn't quite understand, and he knew clearly in his heart that if he argued with the shrewd and calculating Christine, he would lose ten times out of ten!
Stop talking!
So he nodded slightly, shook his head impatiently, spread his hands and said, "Well, I don't know much about these things. It's not my turn to vote in the family anyway."
Christine shook her head. She had always had a bad sense of the rude and unintelligent Mr. Archibald, especially when he raised various inexplicable objections.
"Andre, take me to the front of the car to take a look. Mother, please wait for me here for a moment. I will come back in a while."
"Yes, Miss Christine."
Andre nodded very loyally and pushed Christine out of the carriage in a wheelchair.
"In the blink of an eye, Christine has grown up, and I still remember how fragile she was back then."
Vanessa, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke with emotion in her tone.
As for himself, he is gradually starting to age.
Christine followed the wheelchair to the locomotive, reached out and nibbled her fingers, which was her habit when thinking.
Andre hesitated for a moment, then reminded: "Don't bite your finger again. It's not a good thing to think too hard."
Kristine smiled, shook her head slowly, and said softly:
"Andre Laing, what did I say back then? You just need to listen to me. As my legs and sword, you don't need to think too much."
Andre was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, I understand... Miss Christine, please rest assured. I have already thought about it. It is my mission to be loyal to you and give everything to you!"
"Even if you are going to hell, I will go with you!"
After more than ten hours, their group finally arrived in Fein City from Nasir Town.
Thousands of citizens were also waiting for the arrival of the steam train at the train station in Fein City. When Byrne and others from the Fisher family got out of the car one after another, the people were excited!
Byrne looked at the people around him calmly, waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and announced the "bombshell" very loudly.
"The war is about to begin!"
He pointed toward the east.
"The ocean in the east belongs to us Siyats! We must eradicate pirates and heretics and let the glory of the Siyats shine on the sea!"
