Chapter 407: Siat of the Fisher Family
The people in the city of Nasir are always immersed in joy and happiness. They all know an important thing. Nasir is about to become the capital of Syat, so everyone is extremely happy in their hearts!
As the afterglow of the setting sun gently falls, there is a jubilant scene in Fisher Manor, celebrating the glorious victory again.
The gate of Fisher Manor is open to welcome every distinguished guest who is invited.
The carefully arranged celebration scene in the garden is like a fairyland. Colorful flowers surround the central fountain. The water column jumps with the cheerful music rhythm, and the sprinkled water drops shine golden light in the sunset.
The long banquet table is made of the best quality wood, covered with a white tablecloth, and placed with silver tableware and exquisite porcelain.
Before the banquet began, the band played an exciting movement on the high platform in the distance, and many guests took their seats with smiles on their faces.
"We came to Nasir from the south to celebrate the victory, to meet Queen Peggy... and to meet the great Fisher family!"
The banquet was full of delicious food, from exquisite appetizers to hearty main courses to sweet desserts. Each dish was a masterpiece carefully prepared by the chefs.
"Cheers to Fisher! Cheers to the Queen! And the gods who bless us Syats!"
The guests raised their glasses to drink together, toasting the victory and cheering for the heroes. The laughter filled the whole manor.
The night fell, but the banquet did not end.
The manor lit up bright lights, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky, decorating the night sky like a beautiful painting.
"I am very grateful to everyone for coming today..."
Darren Fisher.
As the "Duke of Fisher", he participated in the whole banquet like a fish in water, with a smile on his face from beginning to end. It was not until the end of the banquet that he put on a sarcastic smile, shook his head and left.
There have been a lot of things happening recently, especially the various celebration banquets and meetings that are almost endless. Perhaps that is the price of becoming the conqueror of Siat.
"Huh, today's celebration banquet is likely to be the last one... There should be no more nobles from other provinces arriving in Nasir, right?"
He raised his eyebrows and quickly came to Christine's study in Fisher Manor, where Andre was also.
Christine ignored Darren who suddenly arrived and worked attentively.
The documents on the table were piled up like a mountain, but they were still arranged very neatly, without any chaos at all, which was very consistent with the personalities of Christine and Andre.
Darren walked in leisurely and picked up a document on the table very casually. He found that it recorded the statistics of many situations in Siat in the past few months.
There are five provinces in Siat: East Coast Province, Maple Leaf Province, Green Blue Province, Emerald Lake Province, and Alfennia Province.
There are fourteen cities in the five provinces, of which the poorest Maple Leaf Province has only one city. Although Greenbrook Province is not very rich, it has four cities because its area is three times that of East Coast Province. In addition, there are three cities in East Coast Province, three cities in Emerald Lake Province, and three cities in Elfenia Province.
In addition to the fourteen cities, there are fifty-eight towns in Syat, as well as many more, even extremely large, villages.
In the decades after the emergence of the steam engine, the rural population of Syat has been gradually and rapidly decreasing, and the population of cities and towns has been explosively growing, especially the "Disaster of the Dead" has accelerated urbanization, because the villages have no way to resist the invasion of the dead.
Today, the population in Syat's cities and towns is about six million, and the number of rural population is more than seven million, totaling more than 13 million.
Among the population of more than 13 million, the number of extraordinary people has dropped sharply in the eleven-year civil war, leaving only more than 9,000 people, most of whom are legal extraordinary nobles.
At the same time, the survey clearly found that extraordinary people who did not inherit the territory were also gathering towards the city.
There are about 300 extraordinary people who have reached the qualitative change level in Siat, and there are only about 80 people on the east coast, and the number of extraordinary people at the monarch level is already more than a dozen.
In addition, there are many "unidentified" places in this statistical survey, including the territory of many extraordinary noble families, the output of extraordinary materials, and so on.
After reading the statistical data, Darren raised his head, stared at Christine and said:
"You didn't go to the party, Christine."
Christine in the wheelchair took a deep breath and finally began to pay attention to Darren.
"I've been too busy lately to do anything unimportant. If you don't have anything important to do, you'd better not bother me."
Darren nodded, and he understood very well. Christine was not a sociable person. Although she was able to see through people's hearts, she was not bad at socializing, but she just didn't like it, or even "disliked" it.
Because she had the "peeping eye", she could see other people's qualifications, talents, and personalities. For those who liked to be hypocritical or even more disgusting, Christine really had no patience in her heart.
He continued to ask casually: "How are all the things going recently?"
After hearing these words, Kristine was stunned for a moment, and a look of despair and pain gradually appeared on her face.
"It's okay. In fact, Siyat's situation is in dire straits. Even if there is trouble again, haha, what can we do?"
"Eleven years of civil war and the plague of the dead have destroyed most of Siat's foundation..."
"I have been busy since the reunification of Siyat. I have been busy and can't stop at all. But there are too many things. Even if my 'executor' team is working hard, there are still too many things. Already..."
She sighed and continued:
"It would be better to say that our original efficiency and scale were only enough to cover the East Coast Province, but now it is the busiest time to manage Siat, so there are too many things that need to be done."
"But one good thing is that these 'behaviors' have made me move faster on the 'path to authority.'"
After Christine finished speaking, Darren nodded, smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said:
"As far as I know, you have fully mastered the sequence power of the third step. Christine, when do you plan to complete the promotion ceremony of the fourth step of 'Knight of Glory'?"
However, Christine seems to be very "free and easy" or not take it seriously when it comes to her personal extraordinary power.
"Don't worry, my personal extraordinary power is not important at all."
"No, I think it's important." At this moment, Andre, who had been listening, spoke.
He stared at Christine, whose eyes were slightly shaken, and she also looked at her important husband.
"Andre..."
Andre said very solemnly:
"Christine, I know you don't value your life at all, but I want to say that your life is very important to me! It's more important than mine!"
"Even in my dreams, I hope that you can quickly step onto the fourth step, because only in this way will you have the opportunity to step onto the fifth step in the remaining time!"
"Please, Christine... I haven't had many things to plead with you all this time, but this is the only thing I hope you can promise me to complete the promotion ceremony of 'Knight of Glory' as soon as possible!"
Andre's expression became softer than ever before, he held his wife Christine's hand and said:
"Stay alive, my Christine..."
Christine was obviously very touched, but after thinking about it, she still said: "Andre, I, but I have vowed to dedicate my life and destiny to the family..."
However, Darren suddenly said very seriously: "Christine!"
"I also agree with Andre, because sharpening a sharp blade perfectly is actually the best way to use it. If you just hope to be liberated in a few decades and retire to the Lord, then of course it doesn't matter. ”
"But if you hope to serve the Fisher family for a longer period of time, even hundreds of years, and truly hope to be able to help everyone in the Fisher family, you must step onto the fifth ladder in your lifetime!"
Kristine took a deep breath, knowing deep down that no matter how she said those words, Andre and Darren were all caring about her.
They hope that they can live longer and not become a "consumable".
In fact, as Andre said, Christine has felt that her "life" and "individual will" are completely unimportant for some time.
But at this moment, she suddenly understood a lot. Andre and Darren were both right. Since she had the opportunity to step onto the fifth ladder, she needed to try.
That kind of attempt is a good act for yourself, for those around you like Andre and Darren, or for the entire Fisher family and the Order of the Dawn.
Although Christine felt deep down in her heart that there was a high probability that she would never reach the fifth step in her life, she still nodded very clearly and said: "I understand, I will complete the promotion ceremony in the next few days."
