Chapter 387 - Chapter 387: Chapter 367: Back (2/2)
He bowed deeply, speaking meekly, “We, we would like to see Lady Christine.”
The lead gatekeeper, a 3rd Rank Daybringer, immediately burst out laughing.
“Hahaha, everyone here wants to meet Miss Christine! But they aren’t qualified, and neither are you!”
“Besides, Miss Christine loves rules and order, and by trying to cut in line, you’ve just ensured you won’t get a chance today. Come back tomorrow!”
The merchant, sweating profusely, immediately started shouting:
“Wait, please wait! Forging! Felix! The Felix of forging!”
The gatekeeper frowned; he certainly knew who Felix was, but he wasn’t quite sure why the merchant was shouting that name.
The merchant hollered and hollered, but still the family protectors forcibly removed him, and he was finally kicked and fell to the ground.
“You motherfucker, didn’t you say…”
As the merchant returned near the carriage, just about to curse out loud, he suddenly heard a magnetic middle-aged voice.
“Do you know where Felix is?”
The merchant turned his head, and was instantly scared witless. The guards, however, showed great respect to the silently approaching middle-aged man, and he recognized at once who it was!
An utterly important personage!
The person who suddenly appeared near the carriage was none other than Mr. Yeager, the leader of the Dawnbringers, lord of the Path of Conquest.
The current Mr. Yeager, already a middle-aged man with graying temples, had long since retired behind the scenes as the former mayor of Fein City to let his descendants help the Dawn Church manage the city.
He was in Nasir City today to discuss matters with Christine, and when he came out, he heard someone shouting Felix’s name, so the gatekeeper immediately reported the incident to him.
Yeager rushed to the carriage, pulled open the curtain, and glanced inside. He was overjoyed; the person inside really was Felix!
He couldn’t help but burst out laughing, shouting, “Felix, it’s fantastic! You’re alive! Hahahaha!”
The merchant beside him stood dumbfounded, speechless for a long while.
Finally, he stammered out, “Mr. Yeager, sir, it was me, I brought him back!”
Felix, seeing Yeager’s face, finally completely relaxed and fell back asleep.
“Felix! Wake up! How did you get so hurt!”
It wasn’t long before the battered Felix was taken to Fischer Manor by Yeager, and the merchant who had brought him back was handsomely rewarded.
“Felix, what exactly happened to you?” Byrne asked, his eyes full of sorrow and anger when he looked at his grandson, his hands tightening unconsciously.
In the great hall of Fischer Manor, many family members surrounded Felix, who lay unmoving on a bed, his missing limbs starkly noticeable.
The elderly Lilian, sitting in her wheelchair, employed the rune power of the “Spirit-returning Tree” to heal all his wounds in a blink. Felix was still very tired, however, lying on the bed without getting up.
Byrne took a breath of relief and said softly, “You’ve worked hard, my child.”
“Tell me about your experiences over the past ten years, what exactly happened?”
Felix nodded slightly and began his tale.
“Over the past ten years, I’ve encountered many things, and the reason I got severely injured was that I was trying to escape from the Stars Embrace Order and got caught by their people.”
An anxious Archibald was also present and exclaimed, “Stars Embrace Order? Weren’t you at the Reforging Church? How did you fall into the hands of the Stars Embrace Order?”
Felix said, “Her! Isabel, she’s from the Stars Embrace Order!”
“What!”
Everyone revealed shocked expressions, including Byrne, who was stunned. He had not expected that the female archbishop from the Reforging Church would actually be an undercover agent of the Stars Embrace Order!
“I carefully planned my escape, dodging their trackers all the way, but she never trusted me so she had placed an alchemical tool on me to track my movements, and later I was captured by Isabel.”
Felix’s face involuntarily expressed pain as he took a deep breath and continued calmly, “Then they tortured me for a while, my body kept being destroyed and then regenerated because of my power of Bloodline, before being destroyed by them again. Those lunatics aimed to completely grind down my will…”
“If it wasn’t for a stroke of luck, I would never have been able to escape. Perhaps the great Lord of the Lost was protecting me.”
Everyone fell silent, well aware in the depths of their souls that although Felix spoke lightly, the suffering he must have endured was unimaginably immense.
Only the most resolute could bear it.
“Fischer, it’s in danger!”
Felix’s voice grew louder, and he finally revealed the secret he had been meaning to unveil, loudly!
“The Stars Embrace Order is planning to ally with Words of Tranquility to completely destroy us!”
