Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: Chapter 149: Spiritual Dragon! (2/2)

The carriage arrived at the street where Fischer Manor was located, yet instead of going home, he stopped at another residence nearby.

Today is Archibald’s wedding, and the residence is the house that Archibald had built with his savings over the years, for himself and his wife.

He is now the Sergeant of the Fischer family, and many people in town respect Archibald greatly. There are also many who wish to marry their daughters to him.

The wife Archibald ended up marrying is a silver descendant, the young niece of the already deceased Aaron.

The marriage was decided by Byrne and Irene, with Archibald expressing agreement, whereas Aaron’s niece could only submit to the arrangement.

With the short lifespan of the silver descendants, most other races are reluctant to intermarry with them. For Archibald, marrying a silver descendant was undoubtedly a sacrifice.

Even if his descendants would become more akin to mainstream humans, the lifespans of at least one or two generations would be significantly shortened.

One of Archibald’s descendants would continue to marry within the silver descendants, perpetuating the racial traits of the silver descendants.

The offspring of the Blood Receivers would still be Blood Receivers. After taking the blood of the Fischer family, certain traits in their bloodline and the depths of their souls had been irrevocably changed.

This branch, as the Blood Receivers of the silver descendants, would dominate various affairs of the silver descendants clan in Nasir Town and might even further realize the dream that Aaron once had, to become the Great Elder of the Silver Descendants in the East Coast Province.

At the wedding banquet, Archibald and his wife approached Byrne to receive his blessing.

“You’ve finally arrived!”

Archibald said, beaming with joy.

Byrne smiled and nodded, saying, “Congratulations, Archibald. You must be faithful to your wife and make her happy.”

“I can’t believe that in the blink of an eye, you’re no longer that young man.”

“I wish for you both a happy future, free from the torment of sickness and any misfortune.”

Archibald nodded repeatedly and immediately said, “I know, I’ve taken an oath to God, I will make her happy.”

His wife gazed at Byrne for a while, then bowed her head respectfully and said,

“Your Excellency Bain, hello, thank you for your blessings.”

Archibald’s wife is a gentle and beautiful girl, quite short in stature, with looks that far surpass her husband’s.

As a silver descendant, she is highly resistant to the marriage. While arranged marriages are normal in this era, and she does not resist that, she dislikes Archibald’s race.

They always consider themselves noble, viewing outsiders as filthy in body and soul, much like beasts.

However, with the huge debt left by the deceased Aaron to the Fischer family, plus Byrne’s plan to control the East Coast silver descendant clan, she had no choice but to marry Archibald.

Byrne’s face is all smiles, yet deep inside he also realizes with resignation that advancing his Power of Consecution is becoming increasingly difficult.

Dealing with betrayals, threatening enemies, forming secret alliances, passing along false information, arranging family members’ marriages—as the patriarch of the Fischer family, there were too many things to distract him.

At the banquet, Archibald drank a lot, to the point that he even felt somewhat befuddled. Thus, with the help of the servants, he staggered back to his room in a daze.

“From now on, I will also found a family!”

“Great! That’s fantastic! I heard that Viscount Bast’s grandfather was Duke Romann’s father’s guard. In the future, once the Fischer family becomes a top-tier major family, my child could be a viscount or something, ha ha!”

Drunk and elated, Archibald laughed loudly and long before he finally sighed and began to complain:

“Chris, why haven’t you come back yet? Today is an important day in my life!”

Archibald still misses those days when he worked on “dark deeds” with Chris. Now, he is a superior to many soldiers, people who hold him in awe and respect, yet deep down, Archibald always feels bored.

He is well aware that Chris left the family to explore methods to advance to the 4th Rank.

That is currently the most important matter for the Fischer family. It’s normal that he did not come back for his own wedding day. Archibald really shouldn’t complain.

However, deep down, Archibald deeply longs for Chris to return.

Because, after all, Chris is his most important brother!

Just then, he vaguely saw a figure in his room and then opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“Chris! Is it really you?”

Chris stood calmly in the corner of the room, silent, with nobody knowing how he had entered.

He calmly extended his hand, with a precious clear gemstone in his palm, a valuable gift for Archibald, worth a fortune.

“Congratulations.”

Dumbfounded, Archibald muttered, “You finally came back. I almost thought you wouldn’t. Chris, you really are my good brother! You were bound to come back!”

He broke out in laughter, his eyes brimming with tears.

Chris nodded, still silent.

He had returned, fortunately just in time for Archibald’s wedding.

And it was also time for him to meet Byrne and his sister, Chris thought to himself.

In the year that he had left the family, he had made many attempts and had finally found a suspected method of advancing to the 4th Rank of the Path of Tranquility.

But Chris quickly realized that he could not complete the advancement ritual on his own in the short term; rather, he needed the resources of the entire family.
