Chapter 229 - Chapter 229: Chapter 219: The Third Tier "Sword Brandisher" and Future Strategy (2/2)
Byrne kept his composure, suddenly taking out paper and pen, and said with a smile,
“Excuse me for interrupting, Yeager, Lilian, I’d like to record something very important. What exactly is the rite of passage to become a ‘Sword Brandisher’?”
Everyone instinctively turned to Yeager, who nodded calmly and recounted his own experience.
“I’ve been trying all along, thinking of many methods, but nothing worked until one day, I got drunk for the first time in my life.”
“Then, the resentment deep in my heart burst forth, and I went to Fein City’s underground fighting ring. Concealing my power, I defeated over a dozen opponents one-on-one, and suddenly I felt my Spiritual Power begin to slightly surge!”
His eyes gleamed with satisfaction, as if savoring the memories of that night.
“Afterward, I deliberately sought out a high-level Beginning illegal Extraordinary person, placing an order for him to try to assassinate me. So, I fought a duel to the death with him in an alley, and I was the one who survived, with my spirituality getting even more agitated…”
Yeager summarized and turned to Byrne, concluding, “Three one-on-one duels of equal strength finally enabled me to successfully complete the Path of Conquest ‘Sword Brandisher’ rite of passage.”
So that was it. Byrne nodded slightly; the rite of passage for the “Sword Brandisher” was not entirely beyond his expectations.
“Sword Brandishers,” also aptly called “Duelists,” were undoubtedly adept at one-on-one confrontations, so their rite of passage was also about one-on-one duels with Extraordinary beings of equal strength.
Yeager suddenly spoke very seriously, “I have an important suggestion regarding the Daybreakers!”
“If it’s someone with determination, like a man such as Viscount Bast, he could still find out the connections between us and the Fischer family. At a critical time, it might have an impact, so I hope we can nurture the future Daybreakers somewhere other than the orphanage.”
Upon hearing the name Viscount Bast, Byrne’s emotions deep inside became somewhat complex, and he took a deep breath. Aside from Chris, others around noticed his slightly odd demeanor.
Chris gazed silently at Byrne, seemingly aware of something, and kept quiet.
Lilian nodded softly and calmly said, “Yes, we have also thought of this. The new island that our family has developed out at sea will be our best place for education and testing.”
“From now on, truly potential children will be taken to that island instead of being sent to the various orphanages that exist in plain sight.”
“Good!”
A light shone in Yeager’s eyes, he took a deep breath, and said loudly,
“Regarding the future direction of our family and the church, I’ve actually thought about it, and I would like everyone to listen to my suggestion.”
“The Dawn Church is a clandestine force, so it should engage in the activities of a secret organization.”
“From now on, we Daybreakers should infiltrate every clan, every power, every nation. We should not confine ourselves to any city! Any country! Any faction!”
“Someday, day by day, in every city, with every power, beside every great figure, there will be a Daybreaker present!”
“When that time comes, the whole world will be in the palm of the great Lord of the Lost!”
Lilian’s thoughts aligned with his, she nodded immediately and said with excitement, “Yes, that’s what I think too, Yeager! And I also hope to recruit those disillusioned from various families, they are excellent Proselyte prospects!”
Yeager smiled; he didn’t like those Proselytes, but he certainly couldn’t say so outright.
Vanessa paused and asked, “What do you mean by disillusioned?”
Lilian continued, smiling, “Many members of noble families inherit recessive bloodlines, they are born as ordinary humans, unlike their siblings.”
“Those siblings are born Extraordinary, superior from the start, thus enjoying nearly all the glory and resources of the family.”
“But those born as ordinary people, even if they aren’t overtly discriminated against, they are certainly neglected. Human nature dictates that many deep inside harbor resentment.”
“If they had never seen the light, that would be one thing, but to be constantly bathed in its glow, yet unable to truly feel its warmth, is something most difficult to endure.”
Everyone understood that she had a point, giving more resources and status to the Extraordinary was the consensus of all noble families, indeed of every power.
And indeed, people thought there was nothing wrong with that.
Power lies within bloodlines, so everyone is born unequal!
Speaking to this point, Lilian paused, a smile of certain victory appeared on her face, and her tone became increasingly aggressive.
“They will all incredibly crave Extraordinary power. In fact, many who join heretical cults are these people… and we can give them a chance! A chance to completely change their destiny!”
“Many would even risk death to fight for this opportunity! And their presence will help us infiltrate all the families across the continent!”
