Chapter 391: Chapter 371: Encircling Fischer (Three)

“Karno?”

In the Fischer Manor, a man returned, and everyone turned their eyes toward the person who had been missing for a full ten years, their faces expressing a mix of complex emotions.

Karno Fischer.

Although many had lost hope in him, like Felix, he returned at the most critical and dire moment for the family!

Nevertheless, the instant Karno stood there, many let go of their lingering dissatisfaction with him.

At least everyone could confirm one thing—he was willing to live and die together with the Fischer family.

“I have returned.”

Karno nodded lightly; Darren immediately snorted and said,

“You still know how to come back, Karno!”

Darren and Felix just seeing Karno’s return face clouded by displeasure.

If it were not for Karno’s contributions ten years ago, which to some extent had spared the Fischer family from catastrophe, they would absolutely despise that man.

“Karno…”

Christine, sitting in a wheelchair, stared at her brother, revealing a smile. As someone who greatly valued responsibility, being the twin sister, Christine could never despise her twin brother.

Even though Karno had every trait that she disliked, she could understand and knew that deep down, Karno still held the entire family in his heart.

No, for him, perhaps the concept of “Fischer family” was too broad. In reality, it was very specific loved ones that Karno would fiercely protect.

“Father, I am sorry, I left again for ten years before returning.”

Chris looked at his barely home son, nodding lightly without saying a word.

“Karno! You’ve finally returned!” Vanessa walked over, tears continually streaming from her eyes.

She was already a very old woman, with deep marks of time etched on her face, yet at that moment, her eyes sparkled with a light never seen before, derived from deep joy and anticipation.

“Mother, it is me.”

Karno took a deep breath and walked toward his mother with a smile.

From afar to near, each step landed on her heartstrings, quickening Vanessa’s heartbeat slightly.

As his figure gradually came closer, the old Vanessa’s eyes instantly moistened.

That was her child, the long-absent son, who had finally returned to this home filled with memories. The years had also left their marks on the child’s face.

But that familiar contour and gaze instantly awakened the deepest tenderness and concern in Vanessa’s heart.

“You have finally returned… I thought you might… Karno…”

Without many words, she just trembled forward, unable to contain her emotions any longer, tears falling like pearls off a string, spilling onto her clothes and sinking into both their hearts.

Vanessa suddenly spread her arms wide, using all her strength to pull her child tightly into her embrace.

That moment seemed to freeze time, all the waiting, yearning, worries, and expectations, found release and comfort in their embrace.

Karno’s head rested gently on her shoulder, and they silently held each other, as if the entire world was just them, mother and son.

After a while, Byrne also stepped in front of Karno, smiling and said,

“Karno, it’s good you’re back, I knew if you returned you would definitely be a help.”

“I must thank you for one thing, Karno.”

He spoke earnestly, “It’s because of the prophecy you sent back, ten years ago we were cautious of the Words of Tranquility’s attack, and it also made me wary of the Alchemy Council’s President!”

If it weren’t for Karno’s prophecy, Byrne also wasn’t sure if he would have fallen into the Sapphire Curator’s trap.

Karno glanced around; the hall still had many outsiders, so he leaned in and whispered into Byrne’s ear.

“I have important news to tell everyone. In the Terrell Church Kingdom in the Southern Continent, I found something that might help awaken our god!”

Byrne’s eyes immediately brightened, and he looked at Karno with excitement, his body trembling uncontrollably.

“That is great! Karno! Hahaha, you truly are the savior of our family!”

“This is really fantastic, with you here this time… Perhaps, I won’t need to make that choice anymore!”

Karno smiled and pulled out an ancient, mysterious black stone tablet from his chest.

This stone tablet was pitch black, its surface gleaming with a deep luster, like the darkest ink of the night sky, or the essence of an ancient abyss, exuding an indescribable solemnity and mystery.

The material of the stone tablet was extraordinarily hard, as if time had not been able to leave any clear traces on it. Even the finest scratch was hard to find, only the natural weathering had created some subtle patterns, like ancient totems that wove together the unknown and mystical.

“Huh, it looks like a very strange object…”

Under the gaze of Byrne and the others, those patterns seemed to come to life, flickering with a faint light.

Karno nodded seriously and said,

“In the legends of the Terrell Church Kingdom, this black stone tablet was once part of the relics of a Sun Church saint. Engraved on it are powerful spells capable of foreseeing the future and even communicating the mysteries of heaven and earth, capable of awakening divine entities.”

Byrne closely examined the text on the black stone tablet, speaking earnestly and joyfully,
