"Respected Lord Baron Byrne, hello, I am Robert Lane, a businessman from Finn City, I am a distant relative of Viscount Bester, and I want to cooperate with the Fisher family to invest in the factory."

The businessman bowed politely to express his respect for the extraordinary nobles.

Byrne smiled but felt something was wrong. The businessman in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, even though they had just met.

A distant relative of Viscount Bester?

It seemed a little wrong, and Byrne was a little unsure whether the Viscount really had this distant relative.

The situation on the east coast has been unstable in recent months. The Poseidon Cult burned three villages and massacred thousands of people. Even two baron families and more than a dozen knight families were destroyed!

The Storm Church was extremely angry and determined to completely wipe out the Poseidon Cult. The sea war that Viscount Bester had predicted was coming.

At that time, the Fisher family would also be obliged to participate in the war.

After noticing something was wrong, he quickly felt that he needed to be alert.

The smile on the businessman's face was very friendly, his brown hair was combed very neatly, and he was wearing a meticulous black outfit, but there was a kind of teasing in his eyes.

Byrne was silent for a long time, nodded and asked:

"Mr. Robert, our family has a very friendly relationship with the Lion family. You want to invest in our Fisher's factory, and the Fisher family welcomes it. I just want to ask more directly, how much money do you plan to invest?"

The businessman tilted his head and hesitated after listening, and said after thinking for a long time:

"Well, this, I want to invest at least 500 gold, or maybe more than 500, but it depends on how you convince me to take out more money."

He looked at Byrne with a smile and asked:

"Why don't you tell me about your specific development ideas for the Fisher factory in the future."

Relying on being a distant relative of Viscount Best, the businessman's tone became less respectful.

"Well..."

Byrne was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Chris?"

The businessman suddenly frowned tightly when he heard the name, and the smile on his face completely faded in an instant.

Chris took off his wig and fell into deep thought. How was he exposed?

Byrne stared with eyes wide open, stunned for a long time before saying in surprise:

"You are so amazing. If I didn't have extraordinary abilities, I wouldn't be able to tell it was you!"

Chris took off his clothes and the pads that raised his feet, and asked calmly.

"How did you do it?"

Byrne smiled and replied: "Because we are so familiar with each other, my deep memory records all the details of your tiny movements. After comparison, I can detect that the person in front of me is probably you..."

He paused and added: "In fact, the most important reason is that sense of familiarity. I felt something was wrong at the beginning, so I wondered if someone was pretending, and compared it through the memory in my mind."

At this point, Byrne nodded and praised Chris's performance sincerely:

"If you want to deceive someone you are not familiar with, it should be easy. Good disguise! I think it will be very useful!"

Byrne smiled with great joy and hugged Chris.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

He gently reached out to pat his cousin's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation and concern.

"Since you are back, it means that you must have made your spirituality boil thoroughly, enough to be promoted to the third level."

"Chris, you must have suffered a lot during this period to complete the promotion ceremony. It is the luck of all the members of Fisher to have a reliable person like you in the family. As the head of the family, I must thank you."

Chris calmly avoided Byrne's hand. He didn't want anyone other than his sister to touch his body, leaving Byrne alone with a little embarrassment.

But Byrne still breathed a sigh of relief. The few months after Chris left seemed extremely long, and the Fisher family was almost unable to hold on.

The Case family has been making inroads, and they have not stopped embezzling after receiving a large number of gifts.

It is more likely that the Garcia family behind the scenes is too urgent. The Case family has been forcing the Fisher family to let go or even leave Nasir Town.

The Case family has not let go of the kidnapped son of Tio, and they want to completely intervene in the management of this town.

Mayor Nasir, who has long ceased to be in charge and lives in seclusion, is just a decoration. Now all the affairs of the town are decided by the Fisher family, and they maintain the operation of the entire family through the various benefits they gain from controlling the town.

If Nasir Town is really lost completely, it will be a catastrophic blow to the Fisher family.

Killing workers in Nasir Town, leading cultists to attack late at night, and kidnapping relatives of family members.

The actions of the Case family have reached a point that the Fisher family can no longer tolerate.

They must launch a counterattack and cannot just wait for death in silence!

"Finally."

Byrne, Irene, and Chris gathered in the basement.

Chris will soon be promoted to the third level of the "Silent Road".

They will hold a small meeting first, and then call Vanessa, Eric, and Archibald into the basement to participate in the sacrifice together.

Although they are all lost believers of the Dawn Cult, the Fisher family is still the absolute core of the secret organization.

Byrne looked at the three people and said, "Actually, before the formal sacrifice begins, I plan to decide a very important matter through a family meeting."

"Should we give John and Tio blood so that they can obtain the great gift of the Lost Lord?"

"In fact, we have always needed more blood recipients. It is too difficult to support the family with the strength of just a few of us. It is like stepping on a thin ice surface. It seems safe, but it may fall into the depths of the ice cave at any time."

Irene was silent for a while and said, "I have tested them recently. Tio is still the same as before. He has no idea of ​​contacting the "nothingness" thing."

"As for John, he quickly avoided the deeper topic of religion. He was so shrewd that it was unbearable, like a loach slipping in the hand."

So that's it. After listening to Irene's statement, Byrne already had a specific answer in his heart.

Chris was silent. He said too much during this period.

I don't want to say another word.

Byrne took out the scales for voting again, placed them on the wooden table in the basement, and nodded.

"Let's get started."

They wrote down their opinions on paper one by one, and put them on the scale one by one. In the end, the three of them had exactly the same result!

Three votes in favor of Theo becoming the blood recipient, and three votes against John becoming the blood recipient.

In fact, in the Fisher family meeting, it is extremely rare for a unanimous vote to pass, and it was two unanimous votes on the same day.

They can all sense what kind of person Theo is. That man is full of loyalty and values ​​honor. He has long been the core and confidant of the family.

Even if Theo doesn't care about gods and religion at all, there is no need to worry about his loyalty.

As for the sea merchant John, although the Fisher family has cooperated with him for more than ten years, the two have always been pure partners.

Both parties traded equally and helped each other, but did not take even a step beyond the boundary.

John himself was very shrewd and was extremely afraid of being involved in various unnecessary dangers, and did not give Irene the opportunity to preach.

Byrne could even guess that after John learned of the existence of the Lord of the Lost, in order to save his life, he would definitely swear at the first moment that he was willing to join the Dawn Cult and never betray the Lord of the Lost.

However, he would definitely be filled with fear and worry in his heart, and would not want to join the dangerous heretical cult at all.

If John was forced to join the Dawn Cult, the final result might not be good. Byrne and others felt that it was not a good thing, and it would be better to let him be a collaborator.

Since the vote was completed, Byrne nodded again and continued:

"I will call the three of them over, and call Theo in at the same time. First, perform the Lost Ceremony to make Theo the recipient of blood, and then hold the Gift Ceremony to let Theo and Chris receive the power given by God."

Soon, there were seven people standing in the basement.

Vanessa, Eric, and Archibald all maintained a solemn look.

"What on earth is going on!"

Theo's face was full of shock and astonishment!

He had long guessed that there might be a secret door in the basement of the manor that could lead to a more underground space.

But he never thought that there was such a wide second basement in the basement of the Fisher family!

"Tio, we have to explain everything here to you here."

Byrne stared at his swordsmanship teacher, the captain of the guard, and continued to speak rigorously.

"You should have noticed that although it was not made public, Vanessa and the others suddenly had extraordinary powers."

"And all this stems from the great Lord of the Lost. He is the deep root and foundation of our Fisher family, the past, the present, and the future."

In the next few minutes, Byrne selectively told Theo many important truths that had been hidden for many years.

Vanessa and the other two had already heard it once, and continued to listen silently.

"It turned out to be like this. I was really too surprised. I didn't expect the truth to be like this."

Theo's mind was completely blank with astonishment. He could sense that the Fisher family might have some secrets, but he couldn't imagine such an amazing possibility!

Irene asked calmly: "Tio, are you willing to join the Dawn Cult and become a member of the Lost Lord's Protection Gift?"

"I... I do."

He hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Things went smoothly, and Tio had almost no resistance to joining the Dawn Cult.

He felt that there was actually no big difference. In any case, he was a person who would serve the Fisher family. Since he could gain extraordinary power from this, it was naturally a good thing.

Next, Tio followed Irene and Byrne into the spirit world and became a blood recipient.

He was full of shock from beginning to end. For a middle-aged man who didn't know about mysticism, religion and other things, the amount of information he got today was too much, enough to repeatedly impact his worldview!

Next, it was the part of offering sacrifices to the Lost Lord and praying for His gift.

Everyone knelt down, and Irene performed the ceremony very skillfully. Only Tio was stunned to watch every step, and still couldn't slow down.

The path he was given was a brand new long step to the gods.

The road to power!

Sequence power "servant"!
