Chapter 336 Lobbying

The Maple Leaf Province in the northwest of Syat has always been very poor, and there is also a relatively rich and populous city in the Maple Leaf Province, "Black Gold City", and this Black Gold City is also where the "Angry Angel" Jones family is located.

It is called Black Gold City, not because there is black gold in this city, but because there is a supernatural material called "black gold" in the mineral veins around the city.

When alchemists create most alchemical weapons, they need to add a part of black gold, which can significantly improve the stability and final success rate of alchemy.

"Is there going to be a war? Mom, I'm scared."

In the dim room, the confused little girl raised her head and looked at her mother with a frown, and then she was hugged tightly by her mother who was crying.

"Don't worry, it's okay, it's okay."

But how easy is it for ordinary people to avoid danger? When the Rhea Civil War, the Maple Leaf Province became the front line, and her sister was also snatched away by the Rhea people in the war and never came back.

Rumors about the civil war have gradually spread all over the country, and even ordinary people know about it.

After a while, the husband of the family came back from outside, holding bread and sausage in his arms. The man was a senior worker foreman in Jones's factory, and his salary was not bad.

The woman immediately asked: "How is it? Do you know what they said? Will the Jones family join the war?"

The husband sighed, shook his head and said: "Our factory is an arsenal, and now we are working overtime. It won't be long before I have to go back to work. These foods are brought for you, but it's best to eat less at each meal. There may be food shortages in the future, and we must prepare in advance."

"Wait until I come back."

After the husband left home again, the wife sighed, hugged her hungry daughter, broke off a piece of dry bread and handed it to her.

"Eat some bread, but the sausage and cheese at home should wait until your father comes back before eating together."

The daughter nodded with the bread.

"Well! Let's wait for our father to come back before eating sausage and cheese!"

On the eve of the civil war in Syat, the mood of the citizens was like the sky covered by dark clouds, depressed and heavy, the air was filled with an indescribable anxiety and uneasiness, and even the wind had a nervous breath.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and everyone's steps seemed heavy and slow, and every step carried endless worries.

Most of them had worries and uneasiness on their faces, and their eyes revealed confusion and fear about the future.

Some people held their loved ones' hands tightly, trying to draw a little comfort from each other's body temperature; while some people walked silently with their heads down, as if they wanted to escape the impending disaster.

For more than a hundred years, Syat has never had a civil war.

The hustle and bustle of the city was also swallowed up by the depressing atmosphere at this moment, making people's heartstrings tense and difficult to calm down.

"Why is there a war? And it's the Syat people fighting the Syat people? It's really unreasonable. Why should we fight each other?"

"I heard that it was the Fisher family and the Roman family. They colluded with the heretics and assassinated His Majesty the King..."

"No, I heard that His Majesty the King was held hostage by the cultists, and the Roman family and the Fisher family wanted to save the capital!"

"Who is true and who is false?"

"The church has not given a specific statement. Who knows which one is true and which one is false..."

In the corner of the city, some citizens gathered together and talked in a low voice, their voices full of fear and anxiety.

Others chose to stay at home alone, closing the doors and windows, trying to isolate themselves from the outside world.

However, no matter how people escape and pray, the shadow of war will inevitably shroud the city. What will happen in the future in the hearts of the citizens can only pray silently in the long night, hoping that peace will come soon.

The young man with long white hair walked calmly on the dim road.

He came to the front of the Jones family's classical manor, and was then stopped by several guards, who politely asked about his purpose.

"Sorry, noble lord, it's too late today, and our family doesn't want to see outsiders anymore."

They all knew the people from the four viscount families in Maple Leaf Province. The person in front of them was not from those four families, so they mistakenly thought that he was from the many baron families or even knight families who were trying to get close to the Jones family.

The young man narrowed his eyes and introduced himself with a smile:

"My name is Kano Fisher. I don't know if this surname qualifies me to meet the head of the Jones family?"

"Fisher?"

The guard at the door was startled, and immediately nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would go and report.

Not long after, a middle-aged elf butler walked out of the manor.

"Sir Kano of the Fisher family, please follow me."

Kano glanced at the elderly elf butler and smiled slightly.

Although the outside world has always said that the Jones family only has two monarchs, Kano can clearly feel that this old elf butler also has a hidden aura.

Every big family has secrets.

Perhaps this is the secret of the Jones family!

Not long after, he came to the Jones family's reception room and met the head of the Jones family, "Angel of Power" Burne Jones!

He still had a rather feminine appearance, but his brows were deeply furrowed and his eyes were melancholy. It seemed that the "Angel of Power" Bourne had not had a good life in recent years.

Kano knew the reason very well.

His youngest daughter, Cynthia Jones, also known as the "Angel of Wrath", had been in a coma for many years since the end of the last Rhea War.

That was the price of the powerful forbidden artifact numbered 225!

The youngest daughter fell into a state of near death, which made "Angel of Power" Bourne very painful. In recent years, he has become more and more silent and decadent, and no longer has the passion and heroism he had in the past.

Before Kano could speak, Bourne spoke first.

"Whether it's Fisher or Yardley, I don't want to help anyone."

"If you want to fight, fight by yourselves."

After saying that, the decadent Bourne raised his head, stared at Kano coldly, and continued: "And I know you, Kano Fisher, right? You seem to be the shame of the Fisher family."

"Since you have been away from home for many years, what qualifications do you have to use the Fisher family name?"

Kano laughed and nodded: "Maybe I am indeed not qualified, but that is something that the head of the Fisher family can decide. At least you absolutely cannot and have no right to deprive me of my family name."

"It seems that you don't like me, so I'll say it straight. Today I have a gift for the Jones family, and in exchange, I hope you can help Fisher in the next civil war!"

Civil war!

The blunt words from Kano's mouth made everyone present frown.

Of course, the Jones family has received the king's order and should go to the East Coast Province to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Fisher, but the "Angel of Power" Bourne has no interest in this.

The increased production of the arsenal was also to deal with the Rhea people who might take the opportunity to attack.

He was very curious, why did this guy in front of him think he could convince himself?

Even if it was a gift of the level of a forbidden wonder, it was not a huge temptation for him.

However, what Kano took out immediately shocked Bourne and the old elf butler, and even made Bourne tremble with joy.

"You, why do you have it!"

Kano smiled, and there was a light blue liquid in the transparent bottle in his hand. It contained a lot of mysterious power, and starlight appeared from time to time.

It was an extremely rare fifth-level extraordinary material "Water of Awakening", the effect of which was to wake anyone from any form of coma, and it was almost a forced effect.

The side effect was that the user would never be able to dream in sleep again, but compared to its effect, the latter was really an acceptable thing.

"How is it?" Kano smiled.

"Can my gift change your mind?"

After learning about the king's choice, he burned his life through the "Confirmation Prophecy" to obtain the location of the "Water of Awakening" that could wake up the "Angry Angel" Ms. Cynthia Jones, crossed mountains and rivers for a long time to get it as soon as possible, and then traveled a long distance to this city.

Kano had to sigh that his ability was really useful.

It just required some small, never-cared-for costs.

Bourne took a deep breath, and his heart was excited. He was originally a person who valued feelings. He had also told Byrne during the war that the two could be regarded as friends.

In addition, the help Kano provided now was what he needed most. Bourne suddenly felt that the Jones family must give back to the Fisher family no matter what.

"I am so grateful..."

However, the old elf butler who had been standing beside him suddenly spoke.

"Wait a minute, Bourne!"

Although Bourne was the head of the Jones family, after the old elf suddenly spoke, he actually resisted the urge to say the oath of support.

The old elf butler was wearing a black tuxedo, with neat white short hair, and a very burly figure. He was completely different from the stereotype of thinness of elves, and his eyes were sharp and almost ruthless.

He stared at Kano like a sword.

"Although I am very grateful to you, our family still needs to consider this matter."

"Hmm?"

Kano frowned.

Bourne thought for a while and explained: "In fact, Mr. Luo is not only the butler of our Jones family, but also the one who raised me up. He is also the founder who rebuilt the family that was almost destroyed a hundred years ago. His ideas must be respected by the entire Jones family."

So that's it.

Although he had heard about it a long time ago, it was the first time that Kano clearly knew that the real head of the Jones family behind the scenes was the elf butler in front of him!

People think that the "white beast" of the Fessack family is the oldest monarch, but in fact it is not the case. The burly and cold old elf in front of him is!

Luo put his hands behind his back and continued:

"I'm sorry, Fisher, I've been through a lot over the past five hundred years, so I tend to judge things more rationally. Your gift is important, but every child of the Jones family is the blood I saved from the Loen people, and I can't let them destroy themselves."

"What if I don't leave the Water of Awakening?"

After Kano said this, Bourne's expression changed a little, but it was really wrong for his family not to want to help but want something.

Others may kill people to seize extraordinary materials, but Kano knows very well that Bourne will not do this. In a sense, he is a very chivalrous man.

In this era, he can be regarded as...an alien.

The old elf looked at Kano calmly, his voice extremely cold, like a machine without emotions.

"Even if you insist on this, we will not waver in any way. Compared with the sacrifice of one person, the sacrifice of many family members throughout the Jones family is more important."

Bourne's shoulders were shaking slightly, but as the head of the entire big family, he could actually accept this view deep down in his heart.

Kano could only nod.

"I see, I understand."

Luo said calmly: "As long as the Fusak family agrees to help you and the church supports you, our Jones family will do our best to help."

In fact, if most people really support Fischer, even if they don't have the kindness of today, they will definitely side with Fischer, right?

Kano smiled slightly, stood up and nodded:

"Okay, I understand. Thanks to the Jones family for the hospitality, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he left the bottle containing the awakening water. Bourne breathed a sigh of relief, and Luo's eyes softened a little.

Kano took a deep breath and said seriously: "I hope you can consider it again. The Fisher family has once again come to a moment of life and death. Every ally is very important."

"We will consider it."

Even though Luo admired and appreciated the Kano in front of him deep down, he still insisted on his stance.

He brought up the Jones family from scratch and took care of several generations. He could endure the death of anyone in the family, including himself, and would never accept the destruction of the Jones family!

Kano stopped lingering and stood up to leave.

Bourne suddenly stood up, walked over, and said excitedly and gratefully: "Wait a minute, I can't let you leave like this, Lord Kano!"

The "Angel of Power" handed a dark red bracelet to Kano without hesitation.

It's less like a bracelet and more like part of a shackle.

Mr. Luo frowned slightly, but in the end he said nothing and acquiesced to Bourne's behavior.

Bourne said seriously:

"Your Excellency Kano, please leave this treasure that has caused me pain for many years to you. After all, I can't let you suffer like this. It is also one of the top 300 powerful forbidden rare items... Perhaps, it will be helpful to you Fisher. The future of the family is useful.”
