Chapter 406: Chapter 386: Legacy Instructions
The Romann family, after taking their share of the spoils of war, decided to return to their own family’s domain to prepare for the many things that lie ahead.
Everyone knew that not everything in Cyart had come to a complete end yet.
However, the curtain on the war was about to rise.
The sudden death of Amos dealt a heavy blow to both Aldrich and Ariel, and even though the war was almost a complete victory, neither felt any joy.
“If I had a choice, I would much rather have died in place of the young…” Aldrich said calmly and seriously as he left.
Zayne, on the other hand, was quite pleased, for he knew in his heart that he had finally avenged the “Thunderous Monarch.”
The longing of many years had finally been fulfilled.
Zayne knew his revenge was over.
“My lord, I have succeeded…”
The reconstruction of Nasir City began swiftly.
The Consecution Extraordinary Exponents of the Path of Forging started to show off their abilities, which easily took effect in this regard, rebuilding the city at an incredibly fast pace.
However, even if the city’s structures could be reshaped, the citizens who had died could not return.
The entire city had suffered heavy casualties in the final stages of the battle, and every family in Nasir had been heavily struck. The flames of vengeance quickly ignited in the deepest recesses of their hearts.
They all spoke of striking back!
Strike back they must!
Eradicate the Adley Royal Family of Southern Siyate completely!
The new Queen Peggy Adler, supported by the Fischer and Romann families, was the legitimate ruler; she was the one who truly cared for and cherished the people of Cyart!
The Fischer family immediately promised the citizens of Nasir City that they would fully counterattack the south and unify Cyart as soon as possible!
Soon after, a tall, elderly man in a blue robe came to Nasir City.
Simon Howard, originating from Lorne, known to people as “Pitch Black Tidal Surge.”
The Cardinal of the Tempest Church.
He was one of the three most powerful men in the entire Tempest Church, and also the most senior of the three Cardinal Priests of the Tempest.
In a sense, Simon Howard was the acting Pope of the Tempest Church in the East, a man of high esteem.
“This city has truly been through a lot of tribulations over the decades…”
The tall, old man in a blue robe floated slowly down from the sky; Christine and Darren of the Fischer family, along with Zayne who had stayed behind temporarily, immediately came to greet him.
“You’ve finally arrived!”
Zayne began to recount the events of the past few days with a smile, inevitably adding some exaggerations and omissions, all tiny details beneficial to the Fischer and Romann families, but he dared not lie about the overall direction.
“So that’s how it is, is it?”
The Cardinal Simon listened to the whole story from Zayne and then slowly nodded. In fact, he had long been aware of most of the situation here, but he still needed a detailed report from Zayne and the others.
“I will contact the Pope of the Salvation Church regarding the Adley Royal Family, the Words of Tranquility, and the Stars Embrace Order. These matters are indeed important.”
He then turned to look at the members of the Fischer family and spoke slowly and calmly.
“Fischer, Romann, the fact that your families have eliminated the Wordless Elder is indeed a great achievement. Rest assured, the Tempest Church will find a way to reward you; we will not let the children of God suffer.”
Simon left soon after, and Zayne followed suit shortly thereafter.
Darren watched as the old man left, his thoughts turning inward.
“Such a condescending demeanor just now.”
“The most powerful man in the Eastern Four Kingdoms, at least in appearance, must be him and the ruler of Carnia. No, in this world the authority of the Church still trumps that of royalty…”
“Even though those false gods are no more.”

Byrne lay in his bedroom, old and wrinkled, feeling an unprecedented weakness, aging, and not even wanting to move one bit.
So it is.
Am I approaching my end?
All of a sudden, he recalled the Precise Prophecy from Karno ten years ago.
He was to die due to his life being drained… it seemed as if the prophecy was postponed time and again, but the final outcome didn’t change.
“No, the fate of the Fischer family’s demise has changed, and that’s enough.”
After taking a deep breath, the thought of his deceased daughter Lilian brought a cutting pain to his heart, but then the arrival of Irene brought him comfort and relief.
That’s right.
Lilian has gone to meet the great Lord of the Lost, and I should be happy for her.
The members of the Fischer family indeed have a place to go after death; this is without question. So I need not be overly concerned with death itself.
Byrne suddenly allowed himself a slight smile, his eyes showing a hint of release.
“Heh, I’ll be seeing them soon too…”
At that moment, the door opened, and several members of the Fischer family entered, their expressions varied.
Chris, who was pushing a wheelchair with Christine seated in it, Darren following close behind, and last to come in was a black-haired young man in white.
The youth was slender and seemed as though a strong gust of wind could easily sway him. His clear but slightly melancholic eyes habitually lowered, as if he was afraid of directly facing the world.
